This is the song that has been running around in my head for DAYS! Kill me, just kill me now.

No this is not going to be one of those bah humbug type posts – i’m not allowed to bah humbug anymore – I have a child, I’ve now got to embrace the joys of Christmas and foster a belief in santa – something that may eventually lead to a schoolyard kicking as said belief disintegrates, but why borrow trouble eh? We’ve got a good 3-4 years before that happens – and anyway, I’ve found a place that teaches kung-fu to kids..

..I wish *sigh*

Half the interesting ‘new media’ apps are USA based and every website I’ve looked at for things I’ve considered purchasing of late are ’ship to US only’ sites *sniff* ah well, I’ve taken to collecting pretty pictures instead with which to console myself. Let’s face it, I’m unlikely to have the cash to spend on pretty things soon, everyone seems determined to tell me how expensive childrearing will be – like I hadn’t already figured that out for myself!

I’ve discovered that I’m still not completely weaned away from my net addiction. We’ve been camping and not only did I have a complete lack of phone signal (which didn’t really bother me too much) but there was no internet – that did bother me.

To Laura-Jane & Allan.

It was an absolutely fabulous wedding on Sunday – so fabulous in fact that it’s taken me until today to recover from it *grin*

Oh yeah – that’s a heading to grab your attention isn’t it? Men!

Actually, this post has been prompted by a link my fave Ubuntu tech posted on twitter, it had me doing an idle search for a costume after joking to Stef about maybe doing that for the next fancy dress party we attended.

Wondering why i’ve been so quiet the last few days? meh, betcha didn’t even notice lol

As it happens we were at a lovely campsite in Wales, you have to know it’s there to find it though – if it wasn’t for Simon leading the way we’d have been circling Llangollen for hours looking for it!

Apparantly so..

I received an email earlier from Dio over at Quasi Fictional asking me to write a post answering the question “What is a blog to you?” since said email was also peppered with such flattering phrases as ‘guru blogger’ and the insinuation was made that I am one of those almighty figures referred to as a ‘renowned blogger’ (I know, I nearly wet myself laughing at this point too) I figured, what the heck – a post is a post right?

Well tonight has been a GAS!
*grin*
I have the pictures to prove it.

What started as a frantic net search for people I could dress up as on thursday, degenerated into a trying on of everything in the house – including Seans straightjacket and gimp mask.
I should have known better really because I ended up with the itchiest nose ever and those 2 sadists refused to unbuckle me and let me scratch it. They didn’t even offer to scratch it for me.
Have a giggle:

WOW!
I should learn not to doubt J.
What a fantastic night.
Loaf rocked. Serious the Dj played everything from chaka demus and pliers to black eyed peas. It was ace – we even had a group of 4 21yr olds trying to convince us to go to a party in salford with them LOL man I feel old.
We actually missed the countdown as we were too busy playing on the pub quiz machine with another group of lads downstairs – it’s only when the overly friendly (touchy feely) bouncer told us that we realised… I hate that type – I know them too well, judging from his number he hasn’t had his badge too long and I’m guessing he’s the kind that ‘hides’ when there’s trouble. Wanker. Too busy chatting (and touching) up the birds to do his job properly… If I was on his door he’d be getting an earfull I can tell ya!

Ok, sorry sorry sorry…
I know, I’ve been shit the last few days, was a bit ‘ick’ friday and saturday. Went to see the baby seals at Donna Nook on sunday, been in bed pretty much since then.
but hey – in recompense, here’s a pic of one of the seals and a shot of me freezing.

So, *kisses* thankyou for cheering me up on sunday Stef *hug* twas much appreciated – and yes, I SOoooooooooooooooo would have won a proper game of hide and seek in those dunes…

I’m feeling very accomplished now. My front room looks FAB (if you disregard the yellow wall, it was there when I moved in and I refuse to spend money on decorating a rented place)
these pics are primarily for you Claire – looksee, I can get off my arse and clean lol
First view:

Second view:

3rd view:

I know, perhaps a little overboard on the sofa debris – but I’m missing a bed so the cushions had to go somewhere…
Anyway all thats left to do now is sort the kitchen, my room and clean the bathroom and I can sleep the sleep of the just tonight, secure in the knowledge that even my mum (the tidiest person on the planet – why couldn’t I get those genes?) will be unable to find fault with my housekeeping skills.
God I’m good.
