In search of a really dumb answer, and further proof of dimness

Brit flisters, I need your help. There is a particular type of Fondant Fancy that I think comes in a pink or yellow packet and definitely has your traditional pink, yellow and brown-iced cakes, but they are diamonds not squares and they are especially awful/brilliant and I would know them to look at them in an instant, but cannot remember the name or where one buys them to save my life.

You can buy them at a two storey supermarket of a very common type right next to either Victoria or Green Park.

I was hit in the head with a taxi, and then bounced on said head across a major thoroughfare, I have a perfectly legitimate excuse for being this vague!

That said, I have no excuse for my appalling tardiness when it comes to birthdays. You would think I could make it through one month, but no.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for today to [livejournal.com profile] joanwilder , [livejournal.com profile] sparemint  and [livejournal.com profile] vaginal_parfait , I hope it is absolutely spectacular for each of you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEEK
 to [livejournal.com profile] banbury , [livejournal.com profile] lietothedevil  and [livejournal.com profile] unomesowell  for the 19th and to the lovely [livejournal.com profile] angelofcaffeine  and [livejournal.com profile] suonguyen  for the 17th, I hope that it has been filled with festivities, or at least pleasantly calm!

I cannot face cricket without Stuart Broad. I am shallow - I need teh pretty.

Do I really have to go to work tomorrow?

Only 2 weeks until centerparcs!

Same. And One Dayers aren;t real cricket.

Do you have a sore throat and headache? (I ask because I do, but I also have a lot on, so I am prepared to bequeath mine to you if you have some sick leave up your sleeve.) And I'm not sure if I should admit this, but whenever you say Centerparcs, I imagine Butlins. And you in your vintage bathers.

No, but I do have a haemorrhoid (you did sort of ask). I have had bum problems for about 3 weeks. It started with constipation, which I am Not. Allowed. to get. And now there is blood. And pain. I'm trying not to think about it too much.

I know, centerparcs is like holiday hell for people with no kids. But oddly I am really looking forward to it! I have bought some surf shorts to wear with my black cossie, and will of course be taking my red number.

I wouldn't say hell, but yeah, the sort of place people like me go to, are suitably astonished and impressed, and then leave for somewhere less reputable ;-)

I think that totally deserves a day off work, you need to rest on your front!
