last minute love

It's Valentine's Day tomorrow. And if you haven't already made plans for the one you love/lust/like, there's still time to pull something special out the bag. Here are a few ideas to get the romance section of your brain fired up:

1. Make a personalised smoothie label.

Just click here to unleash your inner Casanova and pen your declarations of love (or pinch one of the ones we've already written). Then, print it out and stick it onto a smoothie bottle, hand it over and wait patiently for them to succumb to your charms.

2.Make a 3D chalk creation that your loved one will see on their way to work.

Something love inspired would be nice. You'd better get started now.

3. Write them a hug note on a post-it.

4. Have a carpet picnic complete with Malteser tiffin and homemade tortilla chips and salsa dip.

5. Send an e-card of a loved up pair of animals via Friends of the Earth. Another environmentally friendly option is to reuse a card from a previous year.

7. Make a mix CD.

Vickers got this for her birthday and we're all pretty jealous. It's got the 32 songs that have been number one on her birthday each year.

8. Embrace your inner cynic, hop on board the "Valentine's Day was invented by the card companies" bus and let it pass unnoticed. If your beloved complains, question why you loving them every other day of the year isn't enough.

if music be the food of lunch, play on

Fancy having a Daal curry this lunch? There's a musical treat if you do.

On the inside of the new Daal veg pots there's a record player with a list of songs, all of which are related to food. So tune in, pop your veg pot in the microwave and have a sing-a-long whilst you eat.

Here is the link as well for those not having a Daal curry but who still want the tunes: www.innocentdrinks.co.uk/lunchmusic

 

 

introducing gary goyle

Meet Fruit Towers' latest resident, Gary Goyle. Our office superhero, Conor, came across young Gary at the local garden centre and couldn't resist bringing him back with him. Gary hasn't been welcomed by everyone though, as Neil the gnome, who might have been called Gary in a previous life, has taken to turning him round each night to face the flower trough. Spooky stuff.

wise words for a friday

Everyone knows that raisins go in mouths, not sinks.

blue monday

So turns out that today is actually Blue Monday a.k.a officially the most depressing day of the year (and not last Monday like we read in some other place).

Anyways, if your Monday is turning out less than chipper or you're just a bit fed up and waiting for home time, soak up this Blue Monday instead

The shorts, oh the shorts.

of pizza's, thing's and kab's

With Waterstones making the shock decision to remove the apostrophe from their name, we were wondering if it might inspire some other fine establishments to do the same with their signs.

 Somehow we very much doubt it.
