Something To Buy
Cheeseburger Wrapping Paper Set

This is possibly some of the oddest but coolest wrapping paper I've seen in a long time.
Ready for action

I can't be the only person who has always wanted to put a camera on my pets so I can see what they get up to when I'm not around, right? I want a cat one too, with night vision, because I image a cat to be more interesting than a dog.

Speaking of cats, when we finally get cats of our own I think we'll have to get them this.

Something To Read
Who Needs Feminism?
Source
This is a really interesting blog that shows why Feminism is still important, it's made up of photos of people contributing their own reasons for my they need Feminism, such as:

“I need feminism because I have the right to live my life the way I choose to!”

and

I need feminism because we live in a society where feminism is still a dirty word.

and

I need Feminism because I’m tired of being patronized and called selfish for choosing not to have children. 

Something To Make

American flag inspired shorts have been about for a while, and I can't be the only person who seems jean shorts and thinks "why should I pay £40 for something I can make myself with a pair of scissors?", well here's an easy guide to customize some old jean shorts to look even cooler without having to splash the cash at Topshop or H&M.

Quick and healthy Easter lunch from  Super Healthy Kids  : Granola with a sesame seed candy in the lower left compartment.  Hard boiled egg chick in the upper left. Main compartment contains sandwich (cut into a lamb)  Carrots, lettuce, red peppers, and red onions (all finger veggies, no fork needed). And a cup of cuties.

I have a thing for adorable lunch boxes. Look at it! I don't know if I could bring myself to eat it.

Sunday Catch Up

Well I am currently at my parents house looking after their pets while they are away. They have chickens (bantams), two dogs (springer and staffie), one cat and two gerbils. So far everyone has been very well behaved. My fiancé came down and stayed the night but went back today because he has work today.

So yesrerday we went to Wimpy because he had never been! For those who might not know, Wimpy is a fast-food chain that started in the 30's. It's like a British version of McDonalds but has table service, proper knives and forks, proper plates and pots of tea. Very civilised. They also do quorn burgers now so that was pretty awesome. I love Wimpy restaurants, they're so much nicer than McDonalds or Burger King type places.

We also went down to the seafront arcades to play on the Mario Kart arcade game!

As I've already mentioned this week we had Hourly Comic Day and I did draw comics for it, but I haven't finished inking them so I'll be uploading those later this week hopefully. We went to Canterbury for the day so it should be fairly interesting. Usually I'm home all day so it makes a change!

I also discovered coconut M&Ms this week! I haven't tried them yet as I am currently gorging on pineapple pieces but I will report once I've eaten them! Although the sexy female M&M weirds me out.

In other news I discovered this lovely lady last night and thought I had better share! Also that was some wicked alliteration! FeministFrequency is pretty cool and Anita makes some really good, clear points about feminism and pop-culture. Her aim is to make feminism accessible and easy to understand because it's often very academic and stuffy. She also does a great job of dispelling all the stupid myths pushed by the media that give feminism and feminists a bad name. Whether you consider yourself a feminist or not, especially if not, check out her videos.

Toy Ads and Learning Gender

Edit: THE SNOW! It snowed during the night and now we have a good 15cm of snow covering everything. The dogs are okay with it, although the staffie keeps giving me "whyyy?" looks from the shed. The cat has disappeared as usual. The chickens are in their little house peering out and clucking at the snow, the cockerel gave me a look of "REALLY?" when I first opened the door then turned around as if saying to his wives "you won't believe what this stupid human expects us to do". I managed to take a couple of rubbish pictures on my phone so I might edit this later.
