when i haven't got the words to say.

two verses of a beautiful old song. whatever my lot, Lord, you have taught me to say, it is well, it is well, with my soul.

"Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blessed assurance control,
For he sees every weakness and knows every fear
and has shed his own blood for my soul!


My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part, but the whole,
is nailed to the cross and i bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, oh my soul!"

and one to sum up.

"You are my rock in times of trouble,
You lift me up when I fall down.
All through the storm,
Your love is the anchor,
My hope is in You alone"

things i like and things i have discovered since arriving at uni.

it says it all in the title really.

things i like especially much since arriving at uni

1) My wok
i love my wok. it's from wilkinsons and it cost me the grand total of £4. i cook everything in my wok- curry. chilli. noodles. stir fry. things to put with couscous. that's actually probably about it. it's also quite cute and small. it reminds me of personal pizzas from dominoes. (i've neve had a personal pizza from dominoes actually.)

2) Chocolate mousses
I'm currently compiling a comparison of chocolate mousses. i'll give you an insight into this. for example, you should always buy the valuest of value chocolate mousses over the next step up. ie. value Tesco chocolate mouse over Tesco's own. Tesco value chocolate mousses cost 32p for four. Co-operative chocolate mousses cost 35p for four. Waitrose chocolate mousses cost 74p for six (they are bigger though). Morrisons chocolate mousses cost 36p for SIX. and they're the nicest. there are four empty pots stacked next to me now.

3) Jaffa cakes
don't get me wrong, i loved jaffa cakes before i came. but i have got through 2 yards of jaffa cakes and also a 36 pack and a 24 pack. this is a grand total of 180 jaffa cakes. now, i have shared some jaffa cakes. but i am ashamed to admit the vast majority, i have eaten myself.

4) Wilkinsons
wilkinsons provided me with my wok. but it also provided me with files, a stapler, staples, a skype headset, saucepans (which were a bargain), pick 'n' mix like woolworths used to do and jiffy bags. admittedly the files are rubbish, the stapler only works for 5 sheets and fewer and even then you have to "reload" it twice every time you want to staple once, and the headset broke so i took it back but still. new found love for this place.
