It is absolutely gorgeous out there today. Bit cold still, but the front room seems so warm and inviting when the sun streams through like this – and to think I used to avoid the sun where possible (well, ok so I’m not planning on going outside in it for long, but i’m not hissing behind closed curtains either)
Devil man
February 17th, 2007I know, Rob Zombie is not the best artist to listen to before bed – especially that specific track – it’s all Stefs fault though.
He’s playing CoH again and apparently they now have a streaming radio to listen to and he keeps asking me if i’ve ever heard of the artists on there *tuts* Obviously I had to bring up my ‘stefsout’ playlist to prove I’m not as woefully behind the times as he is.. Hmm.. I think I’m starting to warm to this gaming addiction if he’s finally beginning to lean towards my taste of things instead of the usual whingy indie stuff he tends to prefer *grin*
Isn’t life grand?!
February 15th, 2007In an abrupt change of mood from the last few days i’m going to bed full of the joy of life – no I don’t mean i’m preggers, I am however pretty happy right now.
Valentines day massacre
February 15th, 2007We climbed out of the pit around midday, slobbed around for another couple of hours then got in the car to sit in rush hour traffic and listen to steve wright and chris evans on radio 2, then we came home, ate take out, watched films and went to bed.
AHAHahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
February 13th, 2007I’ve just found out that St. Valentines day is also national impotence day
A day in the life..
February 12th, 2007I wake up, distinct lack of enthusiasm for moving from the bed to the bathroom despite an insistant nagging from my bladder. I lie there almost dozing for a couple of hours, halfheartedly trying to convince myself it’d be a good idea to get out of bed – I know if I really push myself I can move but it all just seems like too much effort for no good reason.
Procrastination at it’s finest
February 8th, 2007Seriously, how better to procrastinate than to read about ways of avoiding it.
Flyyyy little wi-ing
February 6th, 2007Just listening to a few of the tracks we’re rehearsing – I just hope my throats up for it *sigh* ah well, I’ve a fair amount of time until we get together again.
The Anchor and horseshoes
February 1st, 2007We went to claires showcase and it was actually a cracking night, there are a fair few things I would have done differently had I been the promoter – not the least being select a more suitable venue, but at least there was enough parking for us all.
High school musical
January 27th, 2007I’ve seen this thing everywhere – and I do mean everywhere, Claire started talking about it tonight because apparantly all her kids love it (by ‘her kids’ I mean the ones she teaches music to) so I asked her what the deal was – this sparked off a huge discussion with her sister about the best tunes and why it reminded them of the brit school etc etc
I dunno..
January 24th, 2007Can you believe the reason I cannot log into my web account is because my host took it upon themselves to change my log in details without informing me?
Dirty weekend in Durham
January 22nd, 2007Well, not really a dirty weekend, but it sounds good *grin*
One of Stef’s friends got married on Saturday, we had to go really – he made Stef do a reading at the wedding (which he got through in magnificent style despite his qualms about using the word ‘foibles’ *chuckle*) When we tried to book a room at the hotel where the wedding was being held there seemed to be none available so we booked a cottage in West Aukland instead:
Latest on the ebay fiasco
January 17th, 2007okies, here’s what I sent to the paypal resolution centre about 2 minutes ago:
I requested confirmation of shipping from the seller as I’d had no correspondnace and they were no longer registered on ebay. I gave them a little more leeway after they emailed me to apologise and state that a job offer over christmas had delayed things.
Bummer.
January 13th, 2007Figures really, I was still buzzing so much that even after I wen to bed at a fairly reasonable hour i was still lying in the dark, wide awake when him downstairs starts.
Happy dancy joy and goodness!
January 12th, 2007*grin*
I’m a happy bunny.
Not only did I get a really good nights sleep last night (I even slept through him downstairs according to Stef) But I’ve just spent 4 hours wandering round the Trafford center with Nic, I’ve been in every womens clothes shop there and tried on several dresses and had an absolute laugh doing it – yes me the girl who HATES clothes shopping!
It’s not fair!
January 11th, 2007I’m beginning to think someone somewhere doesn’t want me to start making these watch sets for ebay.
I’ve given up on eBay itself as my watch face supplier and I’ve tried 4 different websites this morning – 2 of them didn’t ship to the uk (and they only tell you this once you get to the checkout *sniff* all that wasted time) 1 was asking such an extortionate amount for shipping it just wasn’t worth it – and the other wouldn’t process my payment..
I’m turning into Victor Meldrew..
January 8th, 2007When I was a kid I wrote into ‘the Gusher’ aka the Daventry Express, I wrote about the apalling lack of facilities around for kids who had no money and nowhere to go – I wrote it in response to a person who complained about the gangs of kids hanging around the end of their street, (the same kind of thing I complain about now – though to be fair the gangs I hung around with didn’t throw things or attack people) the next thing I know there’s a double page spread featuring me talking to various council members and other kids my age, that was the start of my summer of fame – I was in the paper more than I was school I think, 1992 was a good year *grin*
Arse.
January 8th, 2007I’ve had my first bad eBay experience and it smarts.
I ordered a load of 4mm bicone crystals just before christmas and asked that they not be shipped until the new year, I only started worrying when the transaction disappeared from ‘my ebay’ without notice.
It’s a chocolate christmas
December 25th, 2006I woke up this morning after dreaming that i’d gone downstairs to open my gifts only to find everyone else had already opened theirs and half of the things we’d brought were missing – instead there were just hundreds of chocolate eggs – and all the ones i’m not too keen on, cadburys caramel and kinder and some other nasty ones of that size.. it was very weird.
“We gotta get out of this place..”
September 25th, 2006I’ve been looking around for possible places to move to – as well as possible routes to getting back to work.
L’Italia e fantastica!
September 20th, 2006Well hello guys and gals *kiss*
ahhhhm baaaaaack!
What a fantastic holiday! I kid you not, Italy is basically the place you should all visit at least once in your life – especially the Vatican.
Loved up and loving it.
August 24th, 2006I really really love my man.
I mean, totally – in a sickeningly gushy, want his babies type way.
He’s an evil little fecker with a sadistic sense of humour, irritating as sin in an ‘always right’ kind of way and so handy it hurts.
Not a lot..
August 13th, 2006We were driving along in the car the other day, listening to radio 2, as you do..
Who should be talking but that national treasure of ours Paul Daniels himself.
He’s a clever bod is our Paul. Not only is he renowned for his magic show, but he’s done a fair old few of the celeb reality shows about – and the guy also allows his hidden geek free rein with this website.
That’s right, apparantly he’s been all webbed up since before most people knew what the internet was! He’s a gadget freak of the highest order and does all his own coding.
Looking back
August 7th, 2006I’ve spent the last few days being completely knackered, tonight – I can’t sleep.. wide awake, buzzing and more mentally alert than I ‘ve been in months.
Obviously a good time to have a look through all my old text and word documents to clean out old unwanted files – which led to me deciding to update my cv – which led to me checking my blog for a certain date (see, blogs are useful) sadly this led to me getting sidetracked by some of my old posts.. It happens occasionally.
New neighbours
August 6th, 2006I hate that feeling when you’ve upset someone where it wasn’t intended, I get really worked up by things like that and end up shutting off from the person and situation completely to stop myself thinking about it.
“we’re having a heatwave.. A tropical heatwave”
July 5th, 2006It’s too damned hot!
Yes, I’m melting – didn’t bother getting clothed today – yup, you read that right, I’ve been sat here NAKED reading your blogs and answering your emails HA! and there’s not a sorry lil thing you can do about it.
“I like driving in my car..”
June 30th, 2006I have good news.
After my driving lesson today my instructor told me that not only was it the best lesson yet, but if I can drive like that on the next 2 lessons he’ll be booking my test *grin* there is an end in sight!
The letter ‘D’
June 23rd, 2006I’ve been a bad girl..
Well, neglectful at any rate. Debambam tagged me a while back, so far back in fact she’s changed host and site since doing so..
But here we go, The rules are:
Now that’s just FOWL
June 21st, 2006I had a really nice time down at the in-laws, mind you, we always do. I went strawberry picking on Giulias allotment, managed to nearly kill myself attempting to water the beans and things (I’m so weak and pitiful *sigh* I’m also not really made for outdoor work – the first sign of any insectoid scurrying had me backing off sharpish with many a yelp.. I’ve said I’d be best going back when they do the digging, I’ll just shift all the rocks and thing *grin*)
Introducing her geekiness.
June 12th, 2006ohhh.. I’m a happy bunny now I am, the nameserver change has finally gone through so yours truly can start uploading stuff to rosevibe.me.uk
Damn damn and double DAMN
June 6th, 2006My Pc is female and she has the hots for my man.
It’s the only explanation.
Now he has his own pc, it’s newer, faster, prettier and he spends his life on city of heroes with her (yeah, cheers for that K..) My little lady is throwing a hissy fit.
The apple of my eye.. Not.
June 1st, 2006What happens when technology finally understands a woman? movie link, needs quicktime to run
*sniff* *whimper*
May 31st, 2006I’ve been going through my cfs blog and quite interestingly it turns out that all the crapness I’ve been feeling physically the last few weeks are very similar to what I was feeling this time last year, who knows maybe I’m grasping at straws but it could be a pattern..
Just peachy
May 28th, 2006I’ve been feeling pretty crappy lately, drained, aching and generally under the weather – this has not made me an easy person to live with.
I love me some sean!
May 5th, 2006Quotes of the day
“slugs come from fat people. Everyone knows that”
“…and because it’s so quiet it’s the perfect crippling machine”
Books I’ve read
April 27th, 2006After laughing at her ingenious barbeque set up I saw this on dorenelorenz blog and thought I’d give it a go…
York and stuff
April 25th, 2006I’m a busy gal these days, seems like I’ve finally managed to turn the corner with this whole CFS crap because I have a life again.
I have clutch control!
April 5th, 2006I have clutch control!
Seriously, today I drove the damned car with no problems – I even reversed around a corner flawlessly (on the 3rd try) Next week I’m onto 90 minute lessons so hopefully I can turn todays experience into an everyday occurrence.
Away to the lakes wi’ ye
March 29th, 2006I’ve been away since last wednesday – the majority of the week has been spent in the Lakes, It’s really gorgeous out there – even in the incessant rain.
The caravans (well, static homes) were more spacious than my flat, so much so that at the bargain price of £29,950 it’s almost worth considering buying one and moving to the lakes *grin* hows that for british trailer trash eh?!
It was actually a really pleasent holiday – we went down with 3 other couples and their kids, on the last night we ended up in the other caravan rather than venturing out into the torrential rainpour to hit the pub (I was a little bit gutted because that meant I was denied my karaoke *sigh*) but the 6 hour game of charades we embarked upon soon dispelled any disappointment – I guess you had to be there, but seeing Alan attempt to mime out ‘Living Dead girl’ and Stef’s ‘willy wonka and the chocolate factory’ had us all in stitches!
I gotta say though, kudos to Maria – she’s the charade queen!
The 2 things meme
March 8th, 2006I got tagged way back in January and didn’t notice *blush* does this makes me a bad person?
Well I’ve caught up on some of my reading now and if, Like Debambam, you’ve tagged me and I’ve not responded, I’m sorry…
I’ll get right on it as soon as I see.
Just drive the damn car!
March 1st, 2006Death on the roads!
Muahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Yup, yours truly is now learning to drive. With 2 lessons a week for (probably) the next 2 months, funds allowing I should have my licence by the time I’m 30!!
At least that’s the plan.
Visiting the chums
February 19th, 2006The one thing this weekend has shown me is how much I miss being able to go out and dance the night away.
I’ve never liked going out just for the sake of having a drink, that’s never appealed. But I do miss being able to have a good dance. Once upon a time I’d be on the dance floor the second I’d dumped my coat and only stopping for crap songs and toilet breaks. Now I can’t even stay up for a complete song – even 2 minutes of dancing leaves me ready to crash.
There’s talk of going to a club tonight but I’m shattered after 2 nights of karaoke and I feel like a complete killjoy begging off. The only good thing about it is I know Claires not much of a clubber and her sister winds me up something chronic, so perhaps it’s more of a relief that I’m a sickie eh?! lol
Meeting the KI’ers
February 18th, 2006Just got back in, Claire and her mum are happily strumming away on the ol’ guitars and I’m nursing my throat *grin* Roll on 2007, the summer months.
happy happy yeah yeah
February 14th, 2006Went to the Trafford centre to see that new Heath Ledger film today – you know the one…
Cassanova.
Meh
February 8th, 2006My reading habit is slowing somewhat – I’ve only read 16 books this year – and at least half of those were teen books.
My dvd viewing habits though… *grin* I love amazon, truly I do. now if only I could find some none strenuous work I could do from home to earn the money I need to feed my amazon habit…
*sigh*
Good luck sparkybabes..
February 6th, 2006Sparx has a tidy idea:
I’m announcing a new competition. I want to find something that makes people laugh yet will not upset or cause offence to anyone, anywhere, no matter their race, gender or faith. Not even, and I going to be totally strict on this point, not even if they still think Burberry is cool.
featuring a pregnant pause..
February 4th, 2006I’m beginning to think someone somewhere is trying to get me to go down the pregnancy road.
Seriously – the last 2 weeks have given me a vast selection of email junk, varying from the usual viagra and penis extension rubbish to the worryingly more frequent ‘find a fuckbuddy’, ‘sex addicts in your area’ and an assortment of new mother books, how to handle a first pregnancy and various links to nutritional guides for the pregnant woman.
Swahili, my first time..
January 26th, 2006I have here an audio post, the idea came to me about 30 minutes or so after posting yesterdays challenge (which you are more than welcome to take up btw *grin* assuming you haven’t already of course…)
Basically – you can all head over and thank daddy Mutta for this, quite frankly, pathetic attempt at using another language. It’s short at least – I don’t claim to be as talkative as the mango radio bunch… Read the rest of this entry »
fud and a request
January 25th, 2006This was going to be an audio post but then I figured I’d take pity on your poor ears and not bother – mainly because I started yawning after every other word and sitting silently for a few minutes attempting to think of something to say.
Pants eh?!
Games
January 24th, 2006Stef has been kaning the online games thing for a while – usually concentrating on the likes of sudoku and text twist – but he’s now got me playing along.
My head hurts *whimper*
dvd consumerism
January 24th, 2006*chuckle* internet retail therapy is bad.
Truly, it is – amazon is… Well, lets just say they must love me over in the banking department *sigh* but I can console myself in the fact that my shopping basket this time started out at £114.97 and I whittled away at my possible purchases until it came to under £40.
Now that’s will power *grin*
Sadly it means my wishlist is growing. Damn this consumerism… But can you blame me when ‘classics’ like this and this are screaming out to me at such low low prices lol
quizica..
January 22nd, 2006ok, I know – tonight I’m a quiz junkie – but blame Brandie for this one: Read the rest of this entry »
Calling Ireland..
January 20th, 2006I’ve been a bit weirded out tonight while checking my stats – can the dude (or dudette) searching for Chantelle Weir please email me? You’ve more than pricked my curiosity with that particular search.
blog traffic
January 18th, 2006I’m starting to remember why I stopped using blogexplosion.
My stats are hardly worth looking at due to the hundreds of people skipping through in a mad click frenzy. I only went on there because I got an email about a message – then I thought I’d go check out the people I had blogmarked only to find most of ‘em have either given up blogging completely or moved.
Sadly this means that all my accrued credits seems to have been activated and I’m being paraded in front of people who are too busy looking at the countdown timer to give a stuff about anything else.
catch up
January 18th, 2006The police have gone, the tape is down – but not a snifter of a tale in any of the local papers.
Seems this is so much the norm it isn’t news round here, after all 2 people got stabbed in Eccles during a riot saturday night and another family endured an arson attack… Isn’t life in the city of Salford great.
an ongoing investigation
January 16th, 2006The house over the road is still swarming with police and forensics types, I have a feeling we’ll be reading about a murder in the papers at some point this week.
The CID lass who knocked on today to interview us said the ‘incident’ happened at about 3am saturday morning, this means that somehow we slept through a bleeding man banging on our door and possibly shouting for help.
Not sure how I feel about that.
charmed, i’m sure.
January 13th, 2006I was a bit disappointed in last nights episode of charmed.
I hope the internal soliloquies were a one off because of the earlier sex in the city references, it ruined it for me though – I’m used to the characters pushing the story along through their acting and a generally well written script – all that internal dialogue about signs and symbols was just an irritating and needless distraction for me.
It’s one of the reasons I’m not a big sex in the city fan – I’m more of a stanislavski afficionado than a Brechtian one, part of the joy of watching fantasy stuff is being sucked in for the duration, it’s an escape thing – I’ve never liked the Brecht line.
I also get the feeling Alyssa Milano wanted to be a lot more to the forefront of the action… Which sucks, good shows should not mess with the format like that! What makes this show so good is the balance between the main characters. Just because she’s now one of the main producers does not mean she should push her own character to the forefront in that way!
The sun is out.. The sky is blue..
January 4th, 2006I’ve had a pretty good day today – even if it did suck when the alarm went off at the crack of dawn.
Had to go to the hospital today to see the immunologist, he was lovely – he’s also referring me for CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy to you lot) In an attempt to help me manage the CFS better. I’ve got mixed feelings on this – he assures me it isn’t ‘counseling’ as such, but the stuff I’ve read on the matter and the things I’ve heard make me doubt him. Guess I’ll just have to see for myself eh?!
Spreading the love
January 1st, 2006Happy New Year
Yup, if you’re reading this then you made it through all the crap that was thrown at us all last year, congratulations – have a big *hug* from me – and if you made a new years resolution then I wish you the best in luck and willpower and hope it wasn’t made when under the influence of anything liquid or chemical…There’s always going to be bad stuff, it’s the nature of things – but at least we know there’s some pretty fantastic stuff about as well to balance it all out. I’d like to throw a very public thank you to MY fantastic stuff for not only being there but being there with style, grace and love.
Cheers Stef, you really do mean the world to me my darlin’ lil’ mannums.
…And I’m not just saying that because you’re a brilliant cook *grin*
Cheers Stef, you really do mean the world to me my darlin’ lil’ mannums.
…And I’m not just saying that because you’re a brilliant cook *grin*
fancy that!
December 31st, 2005Trying to kick the sick one off the couch and into the bath is proving a task of such herculean standard that I’ve given up and gone to blog.
Heading to the pub shortly to meet up with Kay and co. our new years celebrations begin at 7.30 and I’ve not even started on makeup never mind the barcode that needs to be put on my neck between coughing fits from sicky over there.
Yup, it’s fancy dress time again – I’m being really cheap and going as a manticore escapee still – Jessica Alba makes a change from Angelina Jolie eh!?
*grin*
new things
December 29th, 2005I’ve realised something very important this year.
Pumpkin seeds are very tasty indeed.
*grin*
Can you believe that I never knew you had to crack the shell before eating seeds?
I’ve always thought people who ate that stuff were loopy because it just tasted like dry nastiness whenever I’d tried them, I’d pick one up, think it was a bad idea, then be proved right as I hacked and spat the husk out of my mouth while gasping for water to swill the remains away with.
Stef didn’t half laugh at me when he found out – now I’m addicted to the bloomin’ things.
Laughing it up
December 19th, 2005I had another strange dream.
I was auditioning for the X-Factor, dressed as Lara Croft.
The cameras converged upon me and when I was asked the question “Why are you dressed as Lara Croft?” I calmly pulled out my gun and answered “One way or another I will be getting through.”
Don’t ask…
My song was cool though – I did “The weakness in me” by Joan Armatrading. Read the rest of this entry »
Biblical creations
December 17th, 2005Seems to be my week for weird dreams.
I woke up not fully remembering this one – which is odd for me, I’m one of those people who tends to have either complete crystal clarity in my dream recollection or nothing at all.
It’s like I was watching/ listening to a conversation through a veil or fine curtain and I’m expecting a bit of stick for this one.
The basic upshot is that it was between God and the Devil.
They weren’t much more than kids – in the 18-25 age range it looked like, maybe a bit younger but definitely not older. They were discussing their project and the resulting bet.
Yup, you’ve guessed it, Earth was the project.
Awake and reporting for duty SAH!
December 16th, 2005Perhaps I should be wide awake and miserable all night more often *grin* I finally went back to bed at about 8.30am and slept through till 12.30 – and I woke up feeling better than I have for days – I’ve even done some cleaning (though the boy will probably scoff at that since he’s a neat freak and my idea of cleaning is a little ‘lax’ compared to his)
The laundry is mainly done, I’ve filled out form D36 in readiness for monday (I get to apply for my divorce to be made final before heading up to Grans to dispense gifts and cards to all and sundry)
um..
December 16th, 2005I’ve been up since about 4am following a fairly disturbing dream.
I woke up completely disoriented, I didn’t know who or where I was because my dream identity still had me in it’s clutches. I nearly died of shock when Stef started snoring because until that point I hadn’t even realised I was sharing the bed – scared the shit out of me it did. Reminded me of who and where I was though.
Perfect gifts
December 14th, 2005The boy has gone D.I.Y. mad!
Gotta say though, the bathroom will look spankin’ gorgeous when he’s through!
Space cadets
December 8th, 2005The flat is looking fantastic the front room is all done, the bathroom is nearly finished and it feels like a whole new place!
I just *love* my gaff, truly.. :0s
December 6th, 2005Ok, since coming home I’m getting used to people hammering on the door in the early hours waiting to come in – the problem is it’s a toss up as to whether the first people we see are the builders or the police.
*sigh* Seems Mr. Jason Boyd has been a naughty boy again. I have no idea what this guy is up to but in the last 3 days we’ve had several different police banging on wanting to take him in – this morning the 2 who so rudely awoke us had a shedload of back up waiting round the corner.
Anyway the plumber is now here so today we are without bathroom facilities until it’s all done – on the plus side we will finally have a shower *grin* I am soooo looking forward to that!
Sensory deprivation – a dream come true!
November 23rd, 2005The bloke has been dispatched to B&Q and hopefully they’ll have the shower in stock because our place is being ripped apart next week.
Yup, we finally have a date for the council’s ‘upgrades’ on 30th november it’s our turn to keep the neighbours up with banging and clanking as the bathroom and kitchen get ripped out and replaced.
I’m so glad I’ll be in Daventry (lol never thought I’d hear myself say that!)
the times they are a-changin’
November 18th, 2005I’ve been asked by the delightful Master K when my next ‘I hate Christmas’ post is going up.
looo-ser
November 16th, 2005I’ve just re-read the last of the Merry Gentry books by Laurell K Hamilton.
I’m gutted that I have to wait till next year for the follow up – I want to see how she handles the Goblins and Taranis – and what nastiness Cel gets up to after he gets out, personally I hope the queen gets wise and is forced to kill him herself. But that’s not really Ms Hamiltons style *sigh*
*sigh*
November 14th, 2005and people wonder why I’m delighted at recieving a bunch of virtual flowers…
Flowers? For me?
November 13th, 2005Smile..
November 10th, 2005I have to take back anything even slightly derogative I may have inferred (ok, outright said) about my dentist.
The guy is not only lovely, but judging from the practically perfect smile I now have, he’s extremely competant as well.
Ok, I may have been a mewling quivering wreck this time around but he and his assistant were bloody lovely, I was glad when it was over but I have no qualms about going back for a check up this time.
Awesome gadetry
November 9th, 2005This is COOL!!!!
Seriously, Stef pointed me in the direction of this freeware I basically now have a dictionary on tap for you all *grin* go on, just double click on any word and see what happens. That’s assuming your pop up blocker doesn’t quash it.
fireworks and fancies
November 9th, 2005Ok, I’m back for a quickie *grin*
I’m just not tired – well, not sleepy tired…
I’ll admit to being a little nervous about thursday, I’m still having trouble with these temporary bridge things, thursday the permanent ones get put in and I’m worried that they’ll hurt too. *sigh* I’m such a wuss when it comes to pain – being on antibiotics for an ulcerated throat doesn’t help *sniff* I’ve done no singing for weeks, talking was even a problem the last couple and I’ve been back on solid food for exactly 2 days – I’m not looking forward to more mush.
On the plus side I’ve lost weight and mum gave me a lovely dress today that would never have fit otherwise.
Dentistry sucks, take ‘em away!
October 28th, 2005Not feeling too clever at the mo.
Was reminded yesterday why I hate going to the dentists. Mainly because I’m still in too much pain to eat anything solid. I have a couple of temporary bridges in and they HURT.
I mean REALLY hurt. I’m not feeling too optimistic about my next visit in 2 weeks to have the proper ones put in, he wasn’t… Well lets just say I’m not filled with confidence, I was kicked out of the room with no information on how to proceed with these things, I have sharp pointy bits of plastic slicing my tongue to bits every time I swallow and… I just got the feeling his assistant wasn’t too impressed with him either.
On the plus side – I was well chuffed that I didn’t cry.
society today..
October 22nd, 2005This depressed me.
I’m only 29 and I can’t even chew steak properly *sniff* as to crusty bread… If I attempted something like that I’d end up bleeding – or at the very least howling in pain.
I should have been Chinese.
I HATE spiders!
October 19th, 2005Had a horror yesterday.
We managed to avoid all the accidents along the M1 and the M62 – the main one we saw looked nasty several HGV’s crushed and battered – obviously nasty because they had the incident van there as well as the usual police and fire services… But awful as it was, that wasn’t my personal horror.
I’m just not a royalist
October 11th, 2005Just found this on the WAYN message boards – made me cackle so I thought I’d share:
Royal Wedding
we gotta get out of this place.. really.
October 8th, 2005Another arrest warrant arrived today for Master Hyndman.
Apparantly all my phonecall did was change the colour of the paper used. *sigh* The bailiffs have started arriving as well, gotta love council properties and the people who came before you to them…
I have to move. Soon.
October 5th, 2005Following another police visit today for the elusive master Boyd I’m hoping it’s knocked all further possible early morning visits on the head.
The phonecall I made to the warrent office Re master Hyndman means no further action for him, now all I have to do is sort out the vaious bailiffs likely to arrive anytime over the next couple of months for the 11 previous tenants still owing payments to various debt collection agencies.
*sigh* At least I now have a security light outside courtesy of my mate Phil – he’s a babe! *grin* pity I can’t stretch to the cctv end of things…
history
October 2nd, 2005Ok. There’s definitely a history at this flat.
I just shit myself – figuratively speaking of course. It’s rare anyone uses the doorbell here – but to have it going off at gone 2am on a saturday night/ sunday morning is definitely not the norm.
Made me realise I need to get a chain on the door – especially when I’m alone here.
life, love and the end of it all
September 11th, 2005Have you noticed how when there is something on your mind, every other blog you read has something to say on the subject?
Though to be fair if it’s relationship related the odds of finding someone with similar woes are definitely in your favour.
ugh.. not again!
September 10th, 2005Right now I’m supposed to be down south meeting the other halfs family.
Sadly because I’m a puking cripple we made it as far as the petrol station before I had to beg him to bring me home so I could kneel at the feet of the porcelain throne, again.
Am i a failure?
September 10th, 2005Well – I’ve managed to do something to my leg that means I can barely walk. This sucks because today I had energy and motivation.
If I’d only remembered to take my bank card with me I’d have started divorce proceedings today *sigh* I made it to the C.A.B. for 10am so they could check over my divorce petition, I even managed to find the right court building amongst the building site that passes for crown Square these days.
Sadly when I went in with all my paperwork, I didn’t have the required £210 fee on me and I had to trek all the way home again to pick up my wallet – only to realise that I’d never make it back to the court before they closed because of my gammy leg.
Which after having to wait just over 2 years till I can legally divorce sucks.
Beadings the hobby for me!
September 7th, 2005Ok – update, I’ve been trawling the net for hobbies – I’m sorry Kitty, I’ve given stitching a go but it’s just not for me, I managed the vics template in about 2 hours ( it looks good btw) But even though I’m all twitchy I just couldn’t summon up any real enthusiasm to have a bash at the bookmark (though I’m gonna do it at some point, I hate that it’s just sitting in my top drawer whispering dire threats at me till I do… *ahem*)
Gastroscopy
September 2nd, 2005If you wanna know what it’s like having a gastroscopy I’m afraid you’ll have to ask some bugger else.
All I know is, I went in hungry – got a little anxious as I lay down and had one of those nasty plastic tap things inserted into my elbow (I have junkie veins in my right arm. They always get me there) Had to try and sign a relese form after said insertion – and that’s pretty much it till I came round in another room where I was handed a cup of tea and an egg salad sandwich (I was offered quite a selection but for some reason I wanted the egg – I’m thinking it must’ve been the drugs)
Anyhow, sore throat and much fading in and out of sleep later I’m about to head to bed and hope there’s still some sleep of the natural variety left in me.
I’m still digging the charmed box set though – it appears I did miss most of seasons 1 & 2, I’m looking forward to gaining the 3rd one in October – I’ve promised it to myself as an ‘I love me’ gift, you do it – they’re the best kind…
google rule the www
August 25th, 2005Hmm… I’m beginning to think that Google are trying to take over the webiverse.
I know – you already knew that, what can I say? I’m a little slow.
Anyhow, if you want to try the new google talk thing but seem to be lacking a gmail account (um…Why?) don’t worry – both K and I can hand ‘em out like toffee.
…Invites that is, not toffee. Neither of us are made of money y’know!
freephone? i don’t think so.
August 19th, 2005I’m now officially moved in *grin*
Yup – mesa connected to the interweb *happy dancey dancey* just in time too – see what Stef found for me…
misheard lyrics
August 12th, 2005Conversation between me and the bloke this afternoon:
Me: singing along to the commitments album
Bed? me? DAmned straight!
August 1st, 2005It’s official. I’m sick of decorating.
It’s taking the piss now, I know I’m moving into a council place but the previous tenants must have been complete morons!
Stef has just finished burning the paint off the bedroom window (12 panes of glass to avoid!) he’s planning on sticking the primer on tonight so it’s dry by morning – weather says it’s clear tomorrow so we should be able to stick the gloss down in the morning without worrying about rain. He’s also going to sand down the skirting in the front room so I can finish the painting (yes, everything seems to be taking twice as long as originally estimated *sigh* and yet somehow I’m surprised about this…)
Yes, I said Stef’s doing all the work – I’ve been banished because basically I’m neither use nor ornament today, he told me to come back to mums and relax so he can get on with it – the lads on a mission!
oh the stench!
July 19th, 2005I think I must have an unusually sensitive sense of smell.
Really.
Am I the only person around who understands the importance of personal hygiene? I’ve already mentioned the filthy beast I currently reside with (who by the way is not my fella, how people mistake these things so easily lol To clarify for people like Kitty who mix up my men – Sean is the soon to be ex-housemate, Stef is the love of my life, do keep up people…)
Anyhow – sense of smell. It’s a bit of a bugger for me, surely I am not alone in finding it hard to function when surrounded by a miasma that could have only sprung forth from the bog of eternal stench?!
To the balding early 40′s guy (obviously lacking an olfactory sense) who made my journey here a misery:
Do not sit in front of me on the bus ever again, especially if there happens to be a breeze, because if it’s anything like the journey home today I think I’d be hard pressed not to vomit all over you.
