Happy Birthday to me...

This year I managed to extend my birthday by over a week, which is a pretty mean feat. Friday through Sunday I was in London. We went to the Santuary, which by the way is the most amazing place in the world, we saw Memoirs of a Geisha, which was ok, we ate out, we shopped and we went to the Tower of London. It was all good.

On Wednesday we went for a work birthday lunch, where I seemed to buy all the drinks. The two guys 'went to find a table' just as it came to paying time. Nice.

On Friday I went for an Indian, where my ex boyfriend introduced me to his new boyfriend. Yep, you heard right. I turned him. Anyway it was a great night out and pics will be posted once I get back home to my computer.

Last night me and Rachel had our own birthday party, consisting of carrot cake and vodka, which is an amazing combination.

So, I am happy. And I would like to wish a belated birthday to Kate. WHO GIVES THE BEST HICCIES IN THE WORLD.

awkward conversation alert

I just needed to share this...as did horrible James at work.
I'm walking to a meeting and mentioned to James that I had been having nightmares about work, missing meetings and stuff. He then decided it would be appropriate to share this with me...
' Yeah, I know what you mean, I've been having these sex dreams about girls that aren't my girlfriend. I'm just really randy at the moment...' How in anyway is that relevant to the conversation we were having? And how is it appropriate to share this with a work colleague?

Bear in mind that just being near this guy makes my skin crawl, so hearing about his sex dreams was just about enough to make me cut my ears off so I didn't have to hear it.

Ahhhhh

Today has been a good day. I even tolerated the kitchen man cancelling our appointment because it meant I got to go back to bed. After a nice nap I went to the household waste and got rid of the dead christmas tree which has been lying on its side in the front garden for the last two weeks. I think the neighbours are happier, seeing as we just left it outside the front door for all to see and share the joy of christmas that little bit longer...at least it wasnt a fridge or a sink. Then I ventured out to Morrisons, which is a feat on a Saturday morning. It was full of wheelchairs, prams, slow and stupid people. So I left pretty quickly, then came home and watched weekend feel good movies all day (the wedding date actually isnt that bad a movie. I feel bad for slating it before I saw it. Ahhhhh. And I now have a new crush. Him in a suit, and weddings, ahhh I want his children.

TFIF


It's Friday!!!!!! Which means two glorious days of NO WORK. And today I had cookies at work, and they were soft and gooey in the middle, and that made me happier than I have been in a long time.

Die in a fire

I just nearly died in a fire. There I was grilling my potatoes and all of a sudden the whole top of the cooker exploded. Flames reached the ceiling! I'm still in shock. Luckily it went out just a quickly as it started. I'm pretty sure the fire may have been caused by the lighter Nicola left on top of the grill. Hopefully. Although now I'm a little wary about gas. Luckily we only have enough on the meter for a few small flames...

new years eve.





Wow, I'm on form tonight. Here come the pictures for the New Years Eve! Pirates night at the Mariners. (The fairy is supposed to be Tinkerbell - any excuse to where tights and a tutu.)And a picture of Alistair for Stacy...

10 days

10 days until my birthday. Just so you know.

Burn baby burn





Two months later I have finally got round to sharing my amazing bonfire night pictures. And, no, I have no excuse for not doing it before because lets face it, I havent exactly had a life. I have officially been in hibernation. Anyway, I hope you go wow, ooohh, and make all the noises just like we did when we saw the real things!

how old!!

You Are 16 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.
