I cannot believe this but someone, some GENIUS has invented a product called Bacon Salt. It is salt that tastes of bacon and apparently it really does taste like bacon! They invented it on the principle that "Everything should taste of bacon."

OMNOMNOM

And it's vegan and kosher so all those people who've been missing out on delicious bacon can finally get a decent substitute.

Ahh, some things never change. I have to be on a train to Stansted Airport at 7.52 and I still haven't packed or booked travel insurance.

I have at least succeeded in obtaining euros though. This is an improvement on when I went to Majorca and kept having use my card in the machines.

So, my hair has reached the irritating in-between stage where it's pissing me off enough to get it cut. But should I give in? Or should I try to grow it? I've had both long hair and short hair before so I'm not too fussy. However, by short I mean around/just above shoulder length.

YOU DECIDE!

I don't have a paid account so you'll have to comment, if you're actually bothered.

If you aren't a corporate snooper and are (for some reason) interested in my LJ, comment to be added :)
