OK, so I'm an IT geek...

Time to come clean. My (Annie) day job is as a programmer (well, actually I manage these days but I like to think I still know how to). Blip is helping me unlock my creative side, which is buried beneath a bunch of zeros and ones.

The TV was on silent in the background last week whilst I was talking to my best friend on the phone. Two and Half Men was on and I actually stopped talking and sat in wonderment as I saw their sofa with these cushions on it. IT-based furnishings: heaven. I had to have them. Chris bought them for me as an early birthday present and the parcel came this morning.

My birthday isn't until August but I opened the package anyway. Naughty.
