pizza hut officially now delivers...

i know this is old news to much of the western world... and probably the non-western world too, but to the quaint little town of oxford this is seriously big news. pizza hut now delivers! i know this may not sound like a big deal, but trust me, it is.

so, fred went to holland on saturday to visit a friend. i was pretty upset at first because i couldn't go too. i have had to work every day since saturday. it just doesn't seem fair that fred always gets to go on trips... i know, i know... it's not as if my life is that rough. but, nevertheless i just felt a little bummed.

as it happened though, i have had a great weekend. despite fred being in holland and having to work every day... and this is due to two very important factors.

1. i got to order pizza hut. for the first time. EVER. in oxford. and what did i order? a large supreme deep pan pizza and two sides. that's right. i was home alone and blew almost 20 quid on horrific greasy overpriced heaven.

the box did wish me 'seasons greetings' though...

so wrong. but yet so right.

2. the x-factor final weekend.

can you believe that if i had gone to holland i would have missed the x-factor final?!! ok, the x-factor is lame, i know that. it's rigged, it's hype, it's just cowell/cheryl promo, it's symbolic of all that is wrong in the world... rah rah rah rah rah. this may all be true but it is also truly fabulous and utterly addictive.

i'm not going to lie, i've devoted every, yes every, saturday and sunday night to x-factor since it started a couple months ago. so i've kind of invested a lot into it, right? i couldn't put all that time and effort (not money, i didn't ever vote... until the final) and then miss out on the end. right?! so, in light of the momentous occasion - i had some girls round and we made mulled wine, had chinese take away, minced pies and watched the x-factor final.

it was amazing.


we've got the x-factor.

joe mcelderry: the winner

to summarize: if your husband decides to ditch you and go hang out with his friends in a foreign country make sure it's the x-factor final weekend, that you've got some good food, and good friends to spend time with.

What a delightful post! Makes me wish we were in Oxford (altho I LOOOVE London). It's funny cause my husband & I were just saying, what is wrong with us that we didn't get hooked to the X Factor & now it's too late??!! Oh well, there's always next season.

Thanks for your comment. It's funny how someone can look like someone from the back just from their body language. I actually googled Taylor Momsen to see if by chance she was in London on Friday. But the shots of her with the suspenders were taken recently.

Anyway, what a delightful post, and attitude.

This post made me laugh out loud several times! I especially loved the rah rah rah rah rah. I sang it. To the tune of bad romance. Hope you're loving your semester break! Mine starts tomorrow night at 7:40 pm. I.can't.wait.

Loved reading your blog. Brought a smile to myself knowing that you are being JENNY! Ordering pizza (I know how excited your must have been) and a side of bread! WOW now that is living it up and having that bath, think you have made a believer in them for your dad. He really enjoyed his last summer and now thinks it is very important to have a tub with jets! See you soon and for sure we will let you and Freddy make us pizza :-) Hope Freddy had a great time! I am sure he was sad to go without you. Hugs and Kisses!
