Good hearing WTF?

It's a bit annoying when you are the only one hearing sounds that ARE there, isn't it? When you ask 'Can you hear that?' and they say they can't, and look at you like you've gone mad. Frustrating. Thing happens to me all the time, and it was happening in our bedroom some time ago for a few days- my boyfriend couldn't hear ANYTHING, whereas I heard this high pitched really annoying and headache inducing 'iiiiiiiiiiiing....!' It was driving me crazy especially at night when trying to sleep. In the end, I figured out what was making the noise- and it wasn't my imagination, but our battery charger. It was making the noise if it was plugged into the socket. The only way to stop the noise was to make sure to unplug it from the socket, or take the power cord out of the charger. Eurgh. You have no idea how frustrated I was for a few days...

I am going to the London Pygmalion Society Meet on the 25th! Yay! I have this girl at work who I accidentally mentioned to that I'm into dolls, and she got intrigued. So intrigued in fact, that she is the reason I am going to the meet! She wants to see different sized dollies, as she is interested in crocheting/knitting for them, but obviously she's never seen one live yet, so I'm taking her to a meet to see a wider range of dollies than what I can offer. :D Scheewt! Can't wait! Also I'll most likely get to meet all the Oxford dolly ppl! Double-scheewt!

I tried taking some quick pics of my little things I made recently. For some reason, I feel like I shouldn't continue the matching bracelet that I already started, as I feel a bit funny today. To be honest, I've been feeling a bit weird all week. Not a nice feeling, especially because I would want to finish the bracelet. But tomorrow maybe I can finish it. Anyway, pictures of my exploits!
This choker- I have no idea what to do with it. It looks pretty okay when it is not on the doll, but then on the doll it's just... blaaah. Should I take the middle chain off? Should I lower it? Is it all wrong? I don't know what to do! xC
 
This is the necklace I made and I reeeeally like how it looks! I made the hook and the bit it attaches to all by myself, and I'm pretty proud about that! First time I did that! This is made with byzantine weave, with Czech glass beads and rings between each strand of weave. The whole thing is stainless steel and I quite like the colour of it- I might do quite a bit with stainless steel from now on and skip silver altogether.
 
I took these pictures in bit of a haste, and I don't really think they do the necklace justice, it looks so much better in person. :3

I need to get some better quality pliers if I keep making jewellery, as the ones I have are cheap and small, which were okay to try out if I liked this, but now that I want to do this more and I'm sure I will keep doing it relatively regularly, I need to get better tools. I had a damn blister on my ring finger from making the gold and silver necklace...

Anyhoo. I'm off to do something... unproductive now. I think. Adios!

EDIT.
I seriously want to do something nice for my boys birthday. Bake a cake maybe? Make some sort of starter with mushrooms? (I hate mushrooms.) Make awesome main course? Luckily I'm off tomorrow after all, so I can go shopping for ingredients. If I am to do something with mushrooms, I need to scour the Cornmarket to see if they have ACTUAL mushrooms and not just the shit white mushrooms you get in all the normal shops. I would want actual proper awesome forest mushrooms. (How the hell can I be picky if I don't even like the damn things?!!?!?)
