Contenders ready?

Oh My God, Gladiators is back on tv! I just foun dit on some random digital channel. I'm so excited. However it isn't quite as good as I remembered it, but still, it's good.



I'm pretty sure I met a few of them at the Truckfest one year, although I can't remember which ones, obviously didn't have such an impact.

Feeling Yucky

Apparently Mr Tumble from the CBeebies has been swearing at children in sign language, which is pretty funny. Probably the only funny thing I heard today given the fact that work has been horrendous. But that combined with chocolate chip cookies has made me feel a little bit better.

People are still living down the Friday night work do. Luckily my drunken ramblings didn't seem to offend anyone, well not that they've said anything yet! So I'm thinking we need to arrange another one soon, before more people quit and there's nobody left.

I have the starting of something, I'm not sure if its a cold or something worse, but I know my throat is really scratchy and I'm feeling queasy, which doesn't bode well as it's the busiest time of year at work. So I think tonight will be an early night with a hot water bottle. However I do have the BEST hotwater bottle. Its Babe the pig and it's huge!

The car was fixed today, so I can tell what speed I'm doing again and the engine light has stopped going on! Yay!

OK. Eastender then bed. I have such a wild life.

Weekend Fun

This weekend has been really busy. Friday night we had a work night out, I managed to avoid the people I don't like, and it turned out to be really good fun. I did learn a few things though.
1. Don't wear new shoes that you can't walk in.
2. Don't get into serious conversations with people when you're both drunk, you know you'll never quite remember what you said the next day.
3. Don't just accept drink after drink, especially from strangers, and remember to buy a round once in a while. I was really suprised that I woke up the next day and had only spent £15 pounds, and the taxi cost £12 there and back, which means I bought one drink...
4. Don't forget to take your camera. I missed some classic shots of Mark's dancing. We were literally crying we were laughing so much.

And Saturday was St Patricks Day! And even better I got to go out with Rhiannon - which was a really good surprise!
The downside of the weekend - Rhiannon broke my car. Well, it broke right after I picked her up - so it's her fault. I'm approaching a speed camera, I look down to check the speedo and turns out I'm doing 0 miles per hour. So that's not working, and then a few minutes later the engine maintenance light comes on. It leaves me with the dilema of how do I get back to Peterborough today?

In 'Training'

Things I have done this week:

1. I've been running TWICE this week
2. I signed up for the Race for Life
3. I regreted signing up for the Race for Life
4. I used the word delightful today
5. I told someone at work that I didnt like them
6. I've done sit ups every night
7. I've not tidied the house, which is making me stressed
8. I got new glasses
9. I'm running out of ideas...
10. I arranged my party, although belated.

Pretty productive week and it's only Wednesday!

Apparently shingles is going around at work. Now,I'm not sure how easy this is to catch, but I'm not a fan of being covered in a rash which then apparently leads to crusty scabs. (I've seen the fact sheet, it's not pretty.) So I think for my protection I need to take the next week off work. Anyone feel like backing up this arguement to my boss?

Also thanks to Ben W for sponsoring me for the Race for Life. Everyone else who wants to sponsor me the link is below.

Urgh weddings

The strange new girl on our team at work got engaged this weekend, which meant that she spent all this morning flashing her ring finger. I heard her mentioning it first thing and therefore decided to pretend that I didn't notice. It might be petty but it amused me. She kept waving her hand in my direction, practically in front of my face a few times and talked about it as loudly as possible with anyone in the near vicinity, before looking over to me to see if I noticed. I managed up until 3pm, when she just sat down next to me and insisted on telling me everything. I should feel happy for her but I just can't pretend to get excited about things like that. Especially for a girl who asked me last week 'if you're married does that make you miss or mrs?' Honestly, she didn't know. This is the girl who I have to train...

I went to get new glasses today. Turns out to be a very expensive thing. Still in shock over it.

Today was the 25th birthday of one of my favourite Americans - Losure.

He spills everything, and was resposible for covering my kitchen, ceiling to floor, with White Lightening, he makes awkward phone calls and he has a terrible English accent, but we love him!
