The one job we both hate doing the most is the washing up. It has gotten to points in the past where we just have piles and piles of dirty cups and crockery. We talked to some of Liv's family about this and they suggested that they we probably had too many plates etc. and we should just get one each and that way it would be easier to handle. So that's what we did:
Liv got a set of blue and I got red. Now we each have a dinner plate, side plate and bowl (Liv even managed to get matching cutlery for hers). And we decided to go out and buy a load of instant noodles so that we had something quick we could make ourselves to eat. Something we'd found ourselves doing was simply chowing down on crisps and chocolate, and while instant noodles may not be the most nutritious food, they've got to be a bit better than crisps or chocolate (you at least have to dirty a saucepan).
A small evening snack of Noodles to keep me going for a while until I can be bothered to get up and make us something properly substantial for dinner. I sound like I'm moaning but I'm really not. Simply having a new plate organisation system and something warm that I can prepare and eat quickly has really cheered me up. Not only that but Liv has turned me on to the most amazing new tea.
I'm not really one for fancy types of tea (and by "fancy" I mean anything that isn't every day tea or Earl Grey) with the "fanciest" tea I've indulged in being a blend called 'Sherlock Holmes' which was basically a smokey Earl Grey.
The tea was called 'Butter Mint Sensation' and as far I'm aware is only available through Twinings (I found it half price at Sainsbury's). It tastes just like a Murray Mint and you should just try it because it's incredible. And if you drink your tea from a Breaking Bad mug, your awesome girlfriend got you for Christmas (pictured above), then it's a great way to spend 10 minutes. And then you can 15 minutes writing a blog post about it, like I did.
