I've taken the day off work, so I'm making the most of it by being a lazy so-and-so, anyone fancy joining me?

I'm not doing anything productive today, I refuse. I'm wearing pyjamas all day, lying on the sofa watching E4, downloading loads of music, films and games for my iPod and my R4 card and eating every bit of junk food in the house I can find.

The cat seems happy with me taking a lazy day, he's been snuggled up next to me all morning. I love lazy days, but I bet by 3pm or something I'll be bored and have run out of food. I'll end up going against my own rules by 1. getting dressed and 2. going outside, just so I can get food.

Hopefully my movies will download quick then I'm going to lie in bed and watch them back-to-back with popcorn.

Isn't it true that some of the best jobs are artistic?

Fashion designers, artists, musicians, all of it is so cool, but requires artistic flair and skill to do.

If I was artistic I would be a tattoo artist. If I could draw really well and could get over the bloodiness of tattooing I would absolutely love to do it. It's so awesome. I love tattoos and having tattoos, so to be able to create them and do them on other people would be awesome. Plus, you can do it anywhere in the world!

Otherwise, I would want to be a graphic designer and design super awesome t-shirts for bands, record labels, stores, everyone! There are some pretty awesome band t-shirts around at the moment, and I've had ideas for t-shirts so many times, I'd love to just have the skill to create the graphics for them!

When I was playing my weekly online lottery ticket this week I discovered that you can play scratch cards online. Now what I thought was interesting about them was the fact that you didn’t just scratch away a few symbols to reveal a cash prize and then if you get three you get that prize. Instead they have loads of games you can play.

One of the is Monopoly 3D – and it is just like the game. It is very fun, you just roll the dice and go around the board. You collect the trading cards and having a full set responds to a cash prize.

You can also win instant prizes as well which are sometimes won from landing on chance or community chest.
It is really quite enjoyable and there are also some other games on their which look fun like scrabble and snakes and ladders! I hope I don’t get addicted – luckily they only cost £1 or £2 to play!

I absolutely love seeing movies in the cinema; meeting your friends or other half, getting your tickets, buying your massive bucket of popcorn and huge drink, adding on nachos if your bit more peckish, it's great!

But what I really love, is doing all of that and watching the films in 3D. It's only a pound or so more, and the experience is totally different.

But I had an idea. I went to see the cinema showing of the Foo Fighters Wembley Stadium concert a few months back, and it was great. I didn't get to go to the gig, so this was definitely the next best thing, and we could sit in comfort and eat through the whole thing!

But what would've been even better, is if the film crew had taken some 3D training and filmed the whole concert in 3D, that would've been immense!

If bands are going to follow suit and screen their more special concerts in the cinema, they should totally do it in 3D - imagine that? Guitars and drumsticks flying out at you - it'd be like you were really there!

I have one of these Kodak printers that are always advertised on the TV as being a really cheap and easy way to print your photos.

Well, it prints fine from the computer, but I've inserted my camera's sd card to print some photos from it for my mum, and it's just coming up with an error message that says "No viewable pictures found on memory card" on the printer's LCD screen.

There most definitely are pictures on the memory card! I can see them on my camera, and on the computer both when I plug in my camera directly and when I load the card through a card reader!

Has anyone had a problem like this before? I really don't want to have to take my printer back, hopefully it's just a glitch or something I'm doing wrong, please help!
