At last, Friday

Firstly thank you Stacy for the song. cubicle song. I might not have you singing You're Beautiful to me anymore, but at this is the next best thing, and so appropriate.

Secondly, tonight I have had a little sweat shop thing going on in my front room. Yes, carnival preperations are underway and I made hundreds of lanterns tonight. It's amazing what you can do with toilet rolls.

Thirdly, I am tired today, and pretty grumpy. But now I'm too tired to sleep. But its payday and the weekend. Which means lots of sleep tonight and shopping tomorrow! Which makes me feel warm and nice inside.

Discovering hidden talents

I have been sooo productive tonight, which is a good thing because I was pathetically lazy last night. I also realised that I might be something of a creative genius. I really think this dragon is pretty fantastic and I did it all by myself in one night!! My carnival float is going to win this year!!

Today was also my lucky day. I realized that I didn't have enough money to pay for parking today, and I was beginning to panic, but then I found a £1 in the bottom of my bag. I remember the days where finding a £10 in my bag was great, now I get as excited over a £1 coin, which is pretty sad.

I am now off to create another masterpiece. By the way, if anyone has a Chinese dress I could borrow for the Carnival that would be fantastic.

Bored

Extreme boredom is the mood of the night. It's not so much that I don't have anything to do but its more that I just can't be bothered. So it's really my own fault. I had intentions of returning phone calls tonight but it just seems like too much effort.

Note: Playing Shocking Roulette by yourself isn't as much fun as you'd think..

Half Yearly Birthday Announcement

I feel that I should be watching the football and getting into the spirit of things, but as much as I've tried, I just can't. I like the whole country coming together and the patriotic thing, but its just overkill at the moment. And those flags on the cars just look ridiculous and American, and lets face it, we're better than that...I admit to a certain sense of satisfaction when I see them lying on the floor after flying off a car. It's especially nice when I drive over them in my car.

Random sackings and 'reorganisation' is still going on at work which is always nice, and I thought it was prett appropriate that I found this news story. santa

I'm in a restless/unsettled mood tonight. I want to do something but I don't know what. I think I just have too much on my mind at the moment. And alcohol isn't appealing at the moment which is my usual calming method, so I don't know what to do. The DVD collection isn't doing anything for me either. Oh what to do.

I've been thinking about having a second birthday each year in the summer, so I get the chance to have a hot birthday. So I would like to make an announcement, my half yearly birthday will take place on the 20th July. I think this should be treated as if it was a proper birthday, so presents and maybe a cake would be acceptable.

I'm surrounded by liars, everywhere I turn..

I'm going through a bit of a job crisis tonight. I feel like I should have this great career and be earning loads of money, but I'm not. And at what point does a job turn into a career? I know that the mediocre job I have now is just a job. I know I don't want to be doing this forever. And then I think at this stage of my life I should be in the job I really want to be doing and working my way up. The real problem lies with the fact that I don't actually know what I want to do. Nothing really appeals to me. And I am on such a sugar high that none of this actually makes sense. It's just rambling drivel. Sorry.

Chocolate pudding from a can is so good but makes me feel so sick...

However, on the upside I've just bought a huge, and by huge I mean 8 foot diameter paddling pool/swimming pool for my garden, which is pretty awesome. Yes, it probably will be one of those things I end up shoving in the shed and never using, but I love the thought of it. Cocktails and sitting in a pool in the summer. Fantastic.

Grad school killed sexylosure.com

It's nearly time to go back to work. Urgh. Although I had a busy and fun week, it does seem like it flew past way too quickly.

Last night I went to Yorkshire to go to a party at my aunts house. It was fun although I was probably the youngest person there, (majority were over 60). My Aunt did the usual matchmaking thing with some work colleague of hers. He was nice, despite the goofy teeth and the stutter. But 'nice' isn't really what I look for, neither are his other assets. Try already in a relationship, or not looking for a relationship, or liar, take your pick. Basically a challenge. I don't make things easy for myself....But the party was fun, and there were 8 different dessert choices, which was amazing. I did try most of them.

I've just realised that I left all my trousers for work in Hunstanton, (I took them home to do laundry). Damn it. I'm going to look good at work this week.

The Perfect Job

I've just discovered the PERFECT, and I really mean the perfectest, job ever. Well, not so much discovered it, as I've done it beofre but didn't realise the full potential at the time. Anyway, my job today was running the carpark, which entails sitting in a little hut all day taking money for people to park by the beach. It really is such a gold mine, I was working out how much you could make in a year from running a carpark like that and it is a hell of a lot more than I make at work, and you wouldn't even have to work in the winter. And I got paid to sunbathe all day which was amazing. I need to buy a field near a beach.

The place to be

The time has come to make and distribute the posters for the event of the year. Yes, the Hunstanton Carnival is back. And I've just realised that there was a reason I didn't take the 'arty' route at school. I'm not quite the whizz with Microsoft Publisher that I hoped I might be. However, reality check, this is Hunstanton and most people here don't even own a computer, let alone know how to use one, so they will probably be impressed by my mediocre attempts. Anyway, for those who are on the edge of your seats with excitement, the date is 9th July. So be there or be square.. Or at least come along and see me dressed up in a costume... At this point I was going to put up pictures of my outfits in previous carnivals, but even I have to maintain some dignity.

Alton Towers

Alton Towers was amazing today. The weather was great most of the time, despite the rain. And the company, as usual, was fantastic...

Learning points from today:
How to create hours of fun with a straw, I learnt that Beavis has an uncanny way of staying dry on EVERY water ride, despite the rest of us getting soaked and I learnt that the I dont like rooms that spin around.

To summarize

This week has been pretty hectic so I haven't written for a few days. Now it's too hot to write and my laptop is sitting on my knees, heating up and not helping the situation, so I will make this quick.
My week pretty much went like this:

Wednesday:
Leon came round for a meal, which resulted in us going clubbing, on a work night.
Thursday:
A torturous day at work, probably due to the 5 hours sleep from the night before.
Friday:
Pretty excellent as it was my last day at work for nine days.
Saturday:
Busy day, a birthday/wedding party. Then work, then I actually watched the England match, and enjoyed it. And to top off a pretty fun day I sat on the hotel lawn and watched the sun go down. With some random guy who like to imitate 'jungle' noises.

And that brings us to today, pretty uneventful, but oh so hot.
Tomorrow is Alton Towers, which is amazing!

And now I actually think I am melting. So goodnight.

Hostess with the mostess

It's got bad that my crush on Grant Mitchell has progressed to dreaming about him. Thing is, when I look at him I can't see anything attractive, but there's just something...I digust myself a little sometime..

Leon is coming for dinner tonight. I was trying to get everything prepared but as yet I haven't seemed able to move from the couch to the kitchen...ah well. I think spaghetti bolognaise is on the menu, purely because its the only thing I can make without having to go shopping for ingrediants. Well, almost, Leon is bringing an onion. I'm an awesome hostess...

06/06/06

It was so nice and warm today, I even had an ice lolly at lunch and sat in the sun, which was amazing. On the bad side I forgot to park my car in the shade and I burnt my hands on the steering wheel.

Rachel is now Mrs Collins as of 12 o clock today, so congratulations to my best friend!! It sounds so old to be married with kids!

Especially as we act like five year olds when we are together, yes ..we were playing dress up with my mum's hats, and yes it was only a few months ago.

I like todays date - it's so easy to type.

Pacman

As seen on Break.com

This is hilarious! Stacy, thank you for introducing this to my life.

My eyes, it burns, it burns...

It took me an hour to get home from work today, which is not good as its 50 minutes longer than usual. Stupid people crashing their cars. It made me realise why I wanted to sell my car before the summer, the lack of air conditioning, and the fan blowing out warm air is not good.

I'd just like to thank a certain someone for exposing himself to me last night. The first time I've ever had a conversation with someone using a webcam and he thought it was funny to get naked! The nightmares! It made me want to gouge my eyes out with a spoon. (Only kidding... you looked hot!)

If only you knew the power of the dark side...

I've decided that I need a new nap blanket. I have a few that I use but neither of them really 'work.' I mean they keep me warm and all, but neither are long/soft/fluffy enough to satisfy. And after reading about Stacy's amazing new blanket, I have been so jealous. So the deal is: send/buy me a fantastic nap blanket. That's it, it's not so much of a deal, more of a demand.

This weekend was pretty much a write off socially. After almost having a heart attack after checking my bank balance on Friday, I made the trip home and spent the week working. I love, love cleaning toilets. Figuring that I can't actually afford to eat/drink/breathe for another 3 weeks until my pay check comes through, I made the most of raiding Mum's cupboards, and generally hinting that I needed money. Which was pretty profitable. Thank God for parents/grandparents!

Role Play is the Bane of my Life

God I'm looking forward to work tomorrow. We get to do a role play. I LOVE role play. It's like a legal form of torture.

By the way, can someone offer me a job where I don't have to go in every day, I don't have to answer phones, and I can hang around by a pool in the sun all day? Please? Oh, and it needs to pay a pretty good wage too. Thanks. I'll just sit and wait for the offers to come flooding in.

My kitchen is starting to look amazing. I think I need to get some minor celebrity to officially open it when it's finished. Seeing as Big Brother's on now there will be hundred of wannabee celebs queuing up for this job I'm sure.

Entertain me.

Gone But Not Forgotten

Happy Birthday Hot Mark!

Well, maybe not so hot, not your best picture...

Rhiannon's birthday night out!

Highlights of the night:
Learning that Rhiannon can't tell the time on a 24 hour clock.
The amazing food at the Mexican restaurant, and the amazing hats!
The helium balloons, there's nothing funnier than singing happy birthday with a high pitched voice.
Good times.

Constructing a Fort.

Today I was set the mission to build a fort over the weekend in my front room, which was a pretty awesome idea. So now, after a few vodkas, I have decided that it is time to try and decide how to build it. The initial problem is that I don't have removable cushions on my sofa, which means that I have to fashion a fort out of blankets and boxes. And I only have two small boxes. hmm. suggesions please.

Working Nine Til Five

Today I was almost mugged at lunch, well, that might be an exaggeration. The 'mugger' may have been about 6 years old, and his 'weapon' may have been a dirty sewing needle, but even so... Stupid pyke kid. Apparently he wanted my necklace and wasn't going to let me pass, and was going to stab me with this needle. I especially liked the fact that his dirty, scum parents just sat and watched him. Actually, they probably encouraged him.

Anyway, work wasn't good today, random sackings never really do the paranoia any good. Lets hope its not me tomorrow!

But despite of all that, its Friday tomorrow, which is sweet.

Happy Birthday Rhiannon!

Happy Birthday Rhiannon!

Decisions, decisions.

I lost my battle against Big Brother. As much as I hate it, I am now pretty much compulsively watching it. The people are absolute idiots. the biggest freaks ever, and yet I can't stop! I can't decide which to watch though, the British Soap Awards are on too and they are pretty amazing. Aww, choices.

Day out

The hire car I had today really made me question why I keep my battered old corsa. I didn't realise just how slow and awkward my car is, yet for some reason I still have a sentimental attachment to it. I actually feel guilty about thinking about getting another car. Although there is NO way I can afford one now, so this rambling is really pointless. Sorry.

I drove what seems like a million miles today, following the AA route directions. I just love the way they are so accurate then all of a sudden seem to miss out three roundabouts and you have to guess the right way until they pick up again. It's like some little joke the evil AA people have created. Personally I prefer I Spy. However, I'm proud to say I didn't get lost which is probably the first time I can ever say that. Gold star for me!

'Special Lunch Time Trip'

Lunch today was really 'special.' The trip to Halfords for oil, was diverted to Tesco when Richard heard that Tesco do Value Oil for 93p. Despite the fact he's on twice my wages for the same job, he still feels the need to buy Value Oil..

But then comes the real treat! The travel shop at the shopping centre is themed with a big boat down the middle, a Hollywood section, and many other 'novelties.' It also has a cinema at the back, which is made to look like the inside of an airplane. The cinema shows holiday films. So at lunch Richard and I introduced Paul to the cinema, where we watched a very nice film about the Algarve and ate lunch. I don't think Paul fully appreciated this...

Anyway, the countdown to Alton Towers has started! I'm soooooo excited!

Vodka good, wine bad.

Today marks the first day of my giving up wine mission. After the other night, and more importantly the next morning, I have come to the decision that I need to stop drinking wine. So today, whilst in the pub for lunch, I decided it had to be done. Or more importantly, it was suggested to me that it was a good idea...
I've also learnt that I need to stop drinking in work night outs when managers are present. And also that I need to nominate someone to stop me talking when I lose the ability to stop myself...

So anyway, wine is out. I did play with the idea of not drinking for a few weeks but that's not really realistic, and as wine tends to affect me more than anything else, I decided that this was the sensible option.

OK, cocktail hour now.

Happy Birthday Stacy!

Happy Birthday Stacy! Today one of my favourite americans turns 24!




















To my only friend to set herself on fire, whilst she was sleeping, it was the funniest thing I ever saw. Happy Birthday!

To drink or not to drink, that is the question

The last few days I've been MIA due to a work thing in Plymouth. I've just got home and I'm exhausted! The drive is sooo long and as I get restless after about 10 minutes in a car, lets just say it wasn't an enjoyable experience for anyone in the car with me. To top it off I had the worst hangover I've had in a long time. So trying to make small talk to clients today and stay awake during the presentation whilst at the same time trying not to pass out was a real accomplishment. When will I ever learn?
My roommate at the hotel did think that me stumbling into the room at 1.30pm, and then trying to shush my phone when it beeped with a message was pretty hilarious though..

I am toying with the idea of giving up the drink for a few weeks. Toying. No decision has been made yet.

I never realised how rude rainbow was!

Nap time

Last night turned into an unexpected pub crawl around the 'boro which was fun! So now, after going into work for a few hours overtime, I am planning on napping for the rest of the afternoon. So much for the productive weekend.

The icecream van just went past, which is amazing. I Love, with a capital L, icecream vans. They really make a summer.

I am in the middle of brokering a deal to get cheetos sent over here to me, but if anyone else wants to send me cheetos that would be amazing.

So Close to Friday...

I went to Kent today with work which meant that I had a 5am start this morning. Consequently I am not a nice person to be around right now. Not only was the early start a killer, I had to spend the day sounding interested in boring, miserable, old people. Actually they probably weren't that bad but I'm tired so they seem so much worse. Bed at nine sounds really good.

I've just been reminded that Big Brother starts in 10 days. As much as I hate that show and the annoyingly stupid freaks that they put on it, I know I will have to fight really hard not to get sucked in yet again. I object to the fact that for a few months after we have to deal with these self obsessed wanabees and it seems to clone more and more of them. I also feel that I am better than most people who watch it. But even with all of that going on in my mind I know the constant showings will break down these barriers. And if nothing else is on TV, what is a girl to do?

I want this T-Shirt..

I win, I win

Mum has given me a trip for two to Amsterdam which she won but hasn't got time to use. Which is amazing. So I am going in 3 weeks! So tonight I have been looking up all the details about Amsterdam on the internet. I've been before but memories are a little blurry. I know I got drunk, stoned and then lost for three hours. It was a fantastic time but I'm looking forward to doing the more grown up version of Amsterdam this time!

I went out to do the garden today, aiming to mow the lawn, but it was so long that I ended up taking a strimmer to it! I have big plans to mow it tomorrow. And paint the fence. Big plans.

In my effort to save money I have cut down the going out, which means it's a Saturday night and I'm trying to find something decent on the TV. I'm failing miserably. Which means I now have to peruse the DVD collection and try and find something I haven't watched a million times.
Oh my God! I just remembered! I have Mario Kart! I completely forgot I had that! Fantastic. The night just got better.

04/05/06

The date today is cool, well unless you're American when you write it all the wrong way round..I'm looking forward to the 06/06/06, the next big one.

I went round to the next door neighbours tonight, and after five minutes in their house I think my lungs have died. They are really nice people but I have never known anyone smoke as much as them!

Tonight Mum gave me a trip to Amsterdam, hotel and flight, for two. But it has to be used in the next three weeks. So I have a spare ticket.

Interview tomorrow. So fingers crossed. I have to go read my CV now and find out exactly what I told them I've done...

Dirty Old Man

The dirty old man who lives across the road is standing in his window, stark naked, playing with himself. It's not pretty. He's sooo dirty. Its horrible!

Tonight was a DIY and cleaning night. In between moving all my pictures around and hammering MORE holes in the wall, I found this little gem. dumbdinosaur.

Todays Likes and Dislikes

Today I am NOT liking text messaging, or to be more accurate, thinking you are texting one person, only to find out it's the wrong person. Not so great...

Today I AM liking the response to the pictures I put on MySpace Me. Apparently I was a cute child...I think its the princess dress that scores the points there.

Funny, but it's so wrong.

I may have indirectly caused a little car accident yesterday. And by may, I mean I did. There I was, driving along, I pull over behind a parked car to let the car coming in the opposite direction pass and as I pull out I hear tyres squealing and a thud. I look in my mirror to see a motorcyclist hit the car behind me and flop to the side of it.To be fair, it wasn't actually my fault, the car behind me had been stopped a while too and the motorcyclist had obviously not been looking where he was going. But I still felt a tiny bit of guilt, before I drove off. Oh yeah, I just drove off. And to make it worse I did find it a little bit funny. Which makes me a little scared of myself.

Relief!

Lobster magnet has been found again. (Thanks Stacy) All is good with the world again. lobster

Stupid Americans.

I love the fact that even chimps hate Americans, haha . And it's even more funny that it's American tourists, possibly the most annoying group of people in the entire world.

What's the deal with all the lesbian stories in soaps at the moment, eastenders, emmerdale, whats going on? Why are they suddenly all using the same storyline. And why (in the case of Eastenders) are they using the most unattractive girls in the program? It's not pretty.

Is it wrong that I find this man attractive?

Confused...

Is it really wrong that I want to go and see the Take That tour? And does anyone want to come with me?

Fun fun fun...

Tonight I went to a candle party, which I had every intention of saying no to, but my mind went blank when I was asked and I just couldn't think of an excuse. Don't you hate that! So, yeah, a candle party. No, not the kind of party I usually like, and because nobody else really showed up, the pressure was on us to place an order. These weren't the cheap candles I like to buy, IKEA specials, no, these were special, and by special I mean £30 for a candle holder. So I picked the cheapest thing and left asap. Why, oh why can't I just say NO!

To top it off I bought a bottle of wine to the party, which was promptly put in the fridge, whilst I was offered lemonade or coke to drink. All night that bottle of wine was tormenting me...

The fence panels are up!!

How good a driver are you?

This kept me amused for HOURS ...drivetime

site meter

And once again the site meter has re-set. damn.

Pathetic

I had a Bridget Jonesesque moment tonight in the supermarket. I got to the counter, a hugely overweight woman was serving me and gave me the pitying look. I looked down at my purchase, to see that it was obvious to all that I was in for a night by myself rather than a Friday night out. The purchases consisted of: A bottle on Pinot Grigio, an add water and microwave pasta meal for one, Cosmo, washing up liquid, and a loaf of bread. Even my shopping was boring. I don't like being pitied by people that by right should be pitied by me.

I am VERY worried that I can't get onto the lobster magnet website.

The genius that is Losure

It's amazing what I've found on my computer tonight! sexylosure

Love Story

A boring Friday night, with an upside. It's given me time to find more funny, but random internet treasures! fun

Drinky drinky?

It's a Friday night, it's 7.39 and I'm already bored. The problem with staying in Peterborough for the weekend is that I only know Monday - Friday 9-5 work people. Which means that I have NO social life at the weekend. I made the mistake of a few drinks after work, which means I'm in the mood for drinking and partying, but with nowhere to go. So the choices are : sitcoms and random tv; or drinking myself into oblivion and sitcoms, which has the upside of making the tv viewing sooooo much better. Off licence, here I come.

Embarrased!

Work wasn't too bad. I've spent most of the day blushing, (which I haven't done since I was about 10) as drunken Charlotte story after drunken Charlotte story was shared. Which as you can imagine was fun! Apart from that, I've been told a few more things and I'm gradually piecing together those drunken lost hours. I'm still not entirely sure what happened but I have a good idea and I don't seem to have offended anyone!

Even better is that I am going to Alton Towers soon! Just a select few from work, (the only ones I like) are invited, and we are going overnight which will be a big laugh! Yay, more alcohol induced fun!

Sleep is good

What Your Sleeping Position Says

You are secretly sensitive, but you often put up a front.Shy and private, you yearn for security.You take relationships slowly. You need lots of reassurances before you can trust.

What Does Your Sleeping Position Say About You?

Child actors make me hurt

So, after an awesome day in Southampton, and by awesome I mean incredibly awkward, following Thursday night...I made it through my first day back at work after the four day weekend. It hurt. But not as much as tomorrow will when I'm back in the office, spending nine hours a day staring at a computer screen. Fun!!

However, the mystery of the black spot on Thursday night has been solved. I guess moving onto cocktails after wine and vodka may be the reason...not my best idea.

The weather is bright outside and I want to be on holiday, enjoying the sun. I could go for a walk, but Eastenders is beckoning.

I need a drink...

Last night I fake tanned, with the cheapest fake tan in the supermarket. Maybe not the best idea, I hear you say. Yeah. So now I have orange hands, and slightly streaky arms. But at least my face isn't too bad.

Urgh, work tomorrow.

Hot Mark has left the BPIM

And the night out pictures, pretty much summerise my entire night from about 6 onwards, blurry.






I'm sure someone was pole dancing in this one...

Happy Easter Egg Day

I have the urge to drive all the way back to Peterborough, a day early, just to play Mario Kart, or Sonic, until my head explodes. But I'm pretty sure Mario Kart will win out, cos it always does.

I have 5 Easter Eggs, all unopened, and I don't want them. Which proves the theory I have about myself. If I can't have it, I want it and I lose interest if I can have it. Chocolate/men, its all the same.

Last night I chose to be the sober one, or the taxi if you will. Sober not by choice, but by necessity. My body still hates me. It made me realise that if anyone wasn't drunk on Thursday's night out, and had the unfortunate experience of talking to me, then I probably pissed them off. Sorry. Well, not really because that would indicate that I'd be making an effort not to get wasted again, and we all know thats a lie. But if it makes you feel better then believe it.

Anyway, Happy Easter Egg Day.

Funny cos it's True

Your Job Dissatisfaction Level is 92%

Your job is a disaster - it's surprising you've lasted this long.You need to quit if you can, even if you don't have another job lined up.As far as stressful work situations go, yours is off the scale brutal.Almost any job would be better than what you've got!

Should You Quit Your Job?

Ah, beer, My achilles heel, if you will

Jesus Christ. How can I still have a hangover? I even tried the hair of the dog this morning, which worked until about ten am. Maybe drinking wine with breakfast isn't the best idea I've ever had...but it did take the edge off the flashbacks.

So, work night out didn't entirely go as expected. There's a big gap in my memory where I'm not quite sure what I did, although I'm pretty sure I'd regret it even more if I remembered. The flashbacks make me want to curl up in a ball and die. I feel so, so sick when I think about going to work on Tuesday. THIS is why I don't do work parties.

Anyway, congratulations Mark, you escaped! Me next!

hurt

so hungover, soo so hungover, flashbacks...not good.

One Day Left

One day left until we say goodbye to Mark, forever...well maybe not forever, hopefully we'll all stay in touch! Tomorrow night is party night in honour of Mark, so I'm looking forward to a few drinks!

There seem to be a lot more ugly people on soaps these days.

The sun almost came out today. Hopefully it'll be HOT soon. I can't wait to make use of the garden and sunbathe.

Work gave us an Easter egg today, which doesn't help the growing stash of chocolate I've acquired in the last few days. Overbuying on Easter eggs really wasn't a good idea.

2 days to go..

Only two days to go until we lose Hot Mark to the big smoke! Altogether now, aww.
Good news is that its 2 days until 4 days off work. I love Easter. I also love the deals they are doing on Easter Eggs at the moment. I think I've 'accidentally' bought too many this year...YUM.
Another good thing, I've managed to get my weekly shopping down to under £5 per week. Sure, I might have to eat some out of date food, but at least I should be able to meet my bills!

Today I am liking this game. fun

Soul for Sale

I wonder how much I would get for my soul... http://uk.news.yahoo.com/05042006/323/chinese-man-tries-sell-soul-online.html

Comments please, how much would you pay for my soul? 1 owner, low milage, but slightly tainted.

I miss HeMan, but this version has the effect of destroying any childhood dreams... I can deal with the gay cowboy film, but not the gay HeMan film. http://youtube.com/watch?v=UKeDWCLajQk

I always wanted to be She-ra. She was the ultimate in coolness. And she always looked good, even when she was fighting Hordak and his evil minions. To top it all off, she had a horse. Although I wouldn't have called him Swift Wind.

Nearly Friday

ONE MORE DAY! It's nearly Friday! And tomorrow is a special Friday, it's Hot Mark from work's last Friday, which means its our last cookie day together. That makes me pretty sad.
But on a happier note, it's Jen's Birthday, and although she won't be there, I 'm planning to have a birthday drink in her honour.

Happy Birthday Jen!

By the way, I changed the settings for the site meter, not realising it would set it back to 0. Which means that it looks as though nobody has ever read this. Which makes me look pretty pathetic! That's not really the case, well as far as the site meter goes.

And...

Whilst perusing the aisles of the supermarket, I discovered a little gem for the Sims fanatics/computer nerds of the world (aka, Stacy and I). I found a game where you can build you own hotel and run it. You get to watch what the customers do and what they think of the hotel. It's FANTASTIC. I managed to drag myself away from it, but chance are I'll go back tomorrow and buy it. However, if anyone wants to treat me, please feel free.

Feeling Good...

Today I learnt that there is nothing funnier than a midget on a motorcycle. Especially if it's a child size motorcycle. It really was the highlight of my day.

Tonight I was is a crappy mood, for various reasons, so I decided I needed cheering up, so I went budget food shopping. I managed to buy: a punnett of strawberries, 3 bottles of diet lemonade, 6 bread rolls, and lime cordial, all for the fantastic price of £2.77. For those who know me, you may realise that the lemonade and lime cordial was the actual reason for the shopping trip....I had actually decided to drown my sorrows with some vodka...

Anyway, today's lesson was that strawberries, vodka, lemonade and lime with novelty shaped icecubes and long, brightly coloured, loopy straws really DO make you feel better. That and the midget...

Ha ha

I don't know why but I find this laugh out loud funny. It's not that clever but give it a try!

Apparently my name should be Charlotte Cynthia Caligua CrackWhore Wyllie!

Freebies

I got a parcel in the post today and the thing is, I have no idea where it came from. It's was a cardboard drawerset, and I really don't know where it's from. But although I don't really want it, I like the idea of freebies just arriving in the post.

I did more gardening today. I even used a strimmer, which was pretty cool, although probably dangerous for me to use it...and I planted 2 trees. I feel so grown up.

The new kitchen is still sitting in the kitchen, the boxes just staring at me. I still have no inclination to make the cabinets yet. Maybe I'll go move furniture now.

Feeling so worthless

I've just realised, from reading back over recent blogs, that my fence panels arrived nearly twenty days ago, and they're still where the delivery man left them. Wow, that's bad. No wonder my neighbours have been giving me evils...

My Space V The Sims.

I'm totally addicted to My Space. It's actually taken over from the Sims, yes, unbelievable, but true. Up until now I was randomly checking it once a week at most, but now.. I'd say at least three times a day. Crazy! I also love, LOVE it when people leave comments on it for me....hint hint.

Anyway, Kate I'm glad my birthday present for you arrived, although two months late. When do I get mine?

My kitchen arrived today! Now I just have to put it together, rip out the old one, get the room plastered/painted/tiled and get someone to fit it and move the sink! I thought I would feel happy it was here, but now I feel scared that there is SO much to do, and so little money to do it with. This is where I start thinking about pimping myself out to kitchen fitters...anyone?

So True....

You Are 94% Evil

You're the most evil person you know. The devil is even a little scared of you!

How Evil Are You?

Yay!

I REALLY love Amazon Jersey, where else can you get the New Harry Potter movie for a fiver less than anywhere else! I am sooooooo excited.

A little rant, well more of a pissed off rambling.

Today I am not liking the clocks changing. I know they changed yesterday, but as it was Sunday yesterday I didn't feel the effects till this morning. I'm pretty sure that helped to contribute to the fact that felt crappy and called in sick at work. (I'm feeling a bit better now but I'm too scared to leave the house in case they have someone spying on me, and think i'm faking. I have this whole guilt complex about not being at work when I should. )

Anyway, the clocks went forward, which I'm pretty sure means that the East coast USA is now 6 hours behind instead of the usual 5, well, for a week anyway. And I feel like somebody just took time away. I feel cheated that an hour of my Sunday was stolen. And it was Mother's day, so Mums all across the UK had an hour, of the one day a year dedicated to them, disappear. It's not right.

And another added to my Hate list..

So...another company goes on my HATE list. What is it about Argos workers? They obviously hate their job, but maybe, just maybe, they might find it a tiny bit more rewarding if they were helpful. They might actually have HAPPY customers. My washing machine broke down after 2 weeks, three months ago, and I still can't get it replaced! Word of warning, never shop at Argos!

BTW, I actually do have a Hate List, I keep a note of all the companies that have pissed me off. And then vow never to use them again. Unfortunately its getting pretty long now, so I don't know what will happen when I run out of companies. However, I can assure you that Argos is at the TOP of this list.

So for now, still no washing machine. Which means weekly trips home for laundry or using the laundrette, which I really dislike. It's smoky, dirty and cold. So home it is.

Cheap and Easy - just like me...

I've just discovered the joys of Jersey Amazon, which is about 70% cheaper than UK Amazon. So Happy Mother's Day Mum! I love buying cheap presents and then treating myself to some cut price goodies at the same time!

I've done nothing tonight. I really haven't. I have nothing to say.

Good luck Hot Mark for tomorrow.

Happy Belated St Patricks Day

I've finally recovered from my St Patricks Day celebration enough to make sense. To be fair I wasn't all that hungover, more tired and just generally feeling crappy, rather than the usual headache and mouth tasting of vomit.

Anyway, it was a good night out. We predictably ended up in O'Neills. The live band was fun, even better when Loretta got up to join the singing, and then taught us all Irish dancing. Pictures will follow. At the moment my camera is claiming 'battery exhausted', rather than the usual battery low. I don't quite know what to do with it, and have no inclination to try and fix the problem at the moment.

Yesterday afternoon was spent lying on the couch, watching one chick flick after another. Last night I spent 4 hours playing SIMS which was worrying.

Today has been a bit more productive. I bought and wrapped birthday presents. There seems to be a LARGE number birthdays at the end of March. On top of that there's Mother's Day. And to make my finances even worse, Nicola is moving out, which means I have a spare room, so if anyone wants to lodge with me....

This week I'm loving:
Orson No Tomorrow.
And I've watched the film Wimbledon 3 times in the last 2 days.

This week I'm hating:
Work/work/work
And the space bar on my laptop. Which has meant that this blog has taken twice as long to write.

I started to write this blog, and then re-read, and deleted it all to start again. Basically work is awful, but I'm not going to bore you with it.

Tonight was productive, to an extent. I called three call centres, and as yet haven't actually got anywhere with any of the problems, but I tried, and it feels like I've achieved more than I actually had. I paid bills and sorted out out paperwork, and had a bit of a tidy of the house. And I wrote some letters. Wow, its like being at work...

There was a hint of Spring in the air today. I can't wait until its warm again. It'll be amazing!
I am so excited about the weekend. I have big plans for my garden. I have some seeds and bulbs I am going to plant and try and grow!!

St Patricks Day on Friday, and also a half day at work, so by 3pm I am hoping to be wasted! I miss afternoon drinking.

Green Fingers

My new fence panels arrived today. I don't know why that made me so happy but it did. Although I haven't put them up yet, I'm actually to short to reach which sucks, and no doubt will have my 16 year old, 6 foot 3 brother cracking up. He already addresses me as Frodo, so I guess I've got it coming.

I've really gotten into gardening. Six months ago I loved spending a day wondering around clothes shops, now I spend my Saturdays, and sometimes Sundays too, wondering around DIY shops and garden centres. And I love it. Today I bought a tree and some seeds for some cool looking flowers. Although I'm pretty new at the whole gardening thing, I have a feeling I might be a natural. I mean, I've had 3 Cacti and a red plant for almost 3 months now and they haven't died, so I think I'm pretty good. And I have a new lawnmower, which is bright yellow and pretty cool. I was so pissed off this morning when it rained and I couldn't use it! Maybe tomorrow!

It snowed today! Just a little, and when it was really warm out, which was odd.

I have to go get an early night, I'm going to a gardening centre tomorrow!

Argh!

What the hell is going on in the world!! Why is Harry Potter, an English film, being released in America before here! Stupid Americans.

Help me

After a detailed discussion with Stacy, I have been convinced to buy the Sims University game. I was so close to weaning myself off, but Stacy, you ruined all the bad work. I just can't get enought of controlling these little people, This must be how God feels.
Can't talk, must play.

Thanks Stacy!

I've been MIA the last few days. I've re-discovered the joy of Sims, thanks to Stacy reminding me. Which means that after weaning myself off, I am now back to spending whole days immersed in the little world inside my computer.

It rained today, which was a nice change. It's strange how much you miss it when it doesn't rain for a while. At least rain is warmer than ice. I can't believe I was actually happy to hear that the temperature in Peterborough would hit 6 degrees today. I was sun!

The event of the weekend had to be gardening. I finally have a lawnmower, and seven months after moving in, I got to mow the lawn! Well, half of it, the grass was really long. But give me a month or so and it'll be presentable. Roll on the garden parties.

I've just realised that apart from Sims and the garden, I have nothing left to share, which is pretty pathetic. Oh, I cooked Mussels last night. I realised that although I love them, I can't bear to cook them. I think it was the label on the bag saying 'live mussels.' I didn't realise they were 'live' before and then I felt like a bad person for putting them in a pot and boiling them. Although I think I might have lessened the pain for them by adding a bottle of wine for the sauce. I'm sure I heard them scream though...

I'm glad tomorrow is Wednesday. It means its nearly Thursday, which is nearly Friday which is the start of the weekend. Good.

I'm too tired to think of a title.

I really need to go to bed, but it involves a long walk up the stars which just seems like too much effort. And the computer resting on my leg is warm, and my room is not, ah decisions.

Today I don't like drivers who think they have to flash their lights at me to tell me a back light is out. Because blinding me in the rear view mirror is really gonna make things better. It's only one light, its not like you can't see the car! In Losure terms, screw off. (for those not 'in the know' Losure sees himself as a budding film maker, but didn't want to include swearing in his ninja film, so used the term 'screw off'. I guess you have to see the film to understand this, or find it remotely funny...)

Today I like the fact that its Thursday, which means tomorrow is Friday, which makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It also means I can have a drink on Friday, having battled the cravings since Monday night...
Today I also like the fact that random people want to be my friend on My Space. It's my new obsession.

I've been having the strangest dreams the last few weeks. I've dreamt that friends have died, I've had one of those dreams where I'm hooking up with a guy I know, which then makes me feel all weird around them. Especially when I know I don't like them in that way, but it made me wonder for a few days if my subconscious was trying to tell me something, I'm pretty sure it's not. I've had dreams about work, and probably more that I can't remember. Its just been a strange few weeks dreamwise. I thought I'd share.

Tonight we worked on starting a band, a Beaver Band. Yep, over the next few weeks we're getting the boys to make instruments from elastic bands, shoe boxes, jars, bottles and toilet rolls. And then we're going to somehow play music on them, which could go really well, but in all honestly will probably be awful.

I've found the perfect combination of bedware this week. As the temperature's dropped to minus something outside, I've added on to my sleepware again, (see the hot picture of me a couple of weeks ago). I had managed to get 2 layers off, but its gone on again, along with gloves, and a hat. Yes, I look good. Maybe this is why I'm single..But it is soooo cozy and the only time I am ever warm in this ice box of a house.

I love my hot water bottle. Night.

Happy Losure Day!!

24 years ago, a baby unlike all others came into this world. This baby was LOSURE! And 24 years later we are still dazzled by the greatness that is this man. Well, kind of.

In honour of this occasion I have compiled my favourite Losure moments/quirks, a brief snapshot if you will.
1. Losure opening a bottle of White Lightning in my kitchen, dropping it and it exploding all over the walls.
2. Stacy wearing the pumpkin on her head, lying in Losure's bed and jumping up to scare him. He screamed like a little girl.
3. His 'power hour' mix tape, consisting of Hanson's Mmm Bop and not much else.
4. His obsession with Teenage Mutant Ninga Turtles, or TNMT for those in the know.
5. The hair cut I gave him, I probably should have told him I was drunk.
6. His unbelievably awkward phone conversations. The long pauses. The silences. It's painful.
7. The fact that he calls me through his computer.
8. Drunken Losure in York, who was found puking in the campus toilets by the cleaner.
9. Running through the sprinklers at Union. Many times.
10. His general, obsessive anal behaviour about germs, cooking food, and fear of all illnesses.

I miss you Losure, Happy Birthday.

The Good Ole Days

For some reason my space bar has stopped working for some random reason today,so I apologise if some words are alljoinedtogether. Just like that. Wait, I think there might be food underneath it. Yep, all gone now. Anyway...

I got a comment on My Space today from Molly, and it reminded me of all the good, and by good, I mean drunken days from Union. Stacy with the pumpkin on her head, the Frat parties, drunken Losure, Molly and I sitting in the hall finishing all the leftover alcohol from Losures room at the end of term, running through the sprinklers. I'm trying to find the picture of Stacy with the pumpkin, but that might have to wait, because walking upstairs seems like a bit effort right now.

I am sooo full, my stomach isn't sure what's hit it. It's Pancake day, which I think might have some kind of religious reason behind it. Maybe Jesus ate pancakes today or something. Anyway, it means I get to eat pancakes, sprinkled with sugar and lemon, They are amazing. There's nothing better than batter and sugar. ahhh.

I was driving along the motorway today and all the lights came on as I drove down it. It was awesome. It made me feel like they went on just for me. Cos I'm special.

Time to lie down and recover from pancakes.

boomboomboomboom

I celebrated my 4 days off work with a night out. It was one of those nights where you expect it to be a meal and a few drinks and you end up in a club, dancing the night away. Which is always fun. Maybe not for Nicola, who reminded me the next day that I called her at midnight, (bear in mind she has to get up at 6am). For some reason I decided to call on the taxi ride to Lynn. I don't think she appreciated my rendition of 'If you want my body and you think I'm sexy' or my vengaboys, 'Boom Boom Boom Boom.' Not many people have the pleasure of hearing my drunken crooning, so I think she should be grateful. She also got to chat to new people, apparently I made her talk to the Taxi Driver, who I believe was called Paddy.

Anyway, good times.

I AM a star

Turns out Nicola's mum has been thinking about intermingling our families. Apparently she is having my dad, or my younger brother, my nan and nics dad will get together, Nic can have my other brother, and my aunt and Nic's step dad can get together. Somehow nobody is with me, which makes me sad but also a bit relieved... I'm a bit worried that she's put so much thought into this. And I'm pretty sure that I DON'T want Nic as my step sister/step aunt/sister in law.

Anyway, today I went to my slimming class and was given a certificate for Slimmer of a week, and 2, yes 2, stickers, the other for reaching a half stone loss. Wow, I am a star. And people clapped for me and I felt important.

What else, I have the rest of the week off work, which is fantastic. Its ALL good.

Are YOU A Valuable Hidden Treasure?

Oprah is coming to England! Finally, life makes sense again. So in honour of her appearance on this side of the pond I thought I'd share a few Oprah words of wisdom. 'Love is a lesson worth learning. This month, feel it, show it, and make love matter. Ah, Oprah, only you can make crap like this sound credible. Now we will learn the answers to all of life's mysteries, like just why that boy was raised as a girl, why the twins were separated at birth, and how skydiving cured that woman's blindness. TV is good again.

I miss those days...

Old people sex on Eastenders put me off my dinner

I have decided, after an awful day in the office, that people shouldn't have to work, and by people I mean me. I think that I should just be paid for being me. If fact, if I was a 'lady of the night' I would get paid for staying in bed all day, which would be pretty fantastic.

Recently I have become addicted to the Eastender website, especially the games. And the ones where you dress the old women in short skirts and knee high boots. It makes me giggle. I don't seem to have time to do the things I need to do, but I can spend hours on the internet doing this...

And to cheer everyone up.
'A man accidentally shot by Vice President Dick Cheney was in stable condition Wednesday after suffering a mild heart attack when a shotgun pellet in his chest traveled to his heart. '
When a sentence starts with 'a man accidentally shot by Vice President Dick Cheney' you know its going to be good. And David Letterman wins the prize for the best commentary, "We can't get Bin Laden, but we nailed a 78-year-old attorney."

OMG, ITV just advertised Peterborough greyhound track during prime time evening viewing. What is going on with the world. Nothing seems right anymore.

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines to all of you who didn't get a card/flowers today. And to those of you who did, stop feeling smug.

Happy Birthday to My Favourite Brother and Leon

Turns out my two favourite men share the same birthday. My little brother and Leon. Happy 16th Birthday Stuart, Happy 25th Birthday Leon, a quarter of a century! You're old!

I have tried to post the pictures I made for each of them, but it keeps messing up, so here are some pictures of the cuties instead... Nic - leave my little brother alone! You're too old.

Hot Mark from work is ill...

Neighbours was just on TV. I cried like a baby during the funeral. I'm not ashamed to admit it. Well I am a little, but for some reason I keep writing.

Today we had a training day at work. It involved role play, sharing, and teamwork, those being a few of the 'key words.' I learnt about 'feeling' words, impact and influence, understanding people, and how to build relationships with team members. What I really learnt was that I hate role play, I have an unbelievably short attention span, the trainer's shoes didn't match his suit, and I'm pretty sure he was gay. I spent most of the time looking to see if he was wearing a wedding ring.

Now back to American sitcoms and wine. I love Fridays. Tonight might even by DANCE MOVES TWISTER night. Pics will follow...

PS. Mark has 'man flu'. Apparently its worse than usual flu. I hope its not bird flu... Feel better soon Mark. You missed a FUN week at work.

So itchy.......

For those who care, the rash has now spread to my stomach, arms, neck and hips. It itches soooo much. For those of you who don't care, tough.

PS. Nic is a whore. Two attached men on the go...not bad.

the man in black

Last night Jen and I went to see Walk the Line. It was fantastic. The guy was hot. I would definately recommend it. Thats the end of the film review.



It was bonus day today at work, which almost made the last few months worthwhile. Almost. I was suprised by how much it was, seeing as how tight the company usually is with money. Not many others seemed impressed, apparently a bonus is something you can demand, rather than a reward from the company. I might not like my job but to me it was a lot of money! Enough to get my measly bank account back to £0. The first time in 4 years. No longer will I be scared by the dreaded ATM.

Today I have mostly been listening to Johnny Cash, which brings back a lot of memories, nice but confusing.

And tonight I will be indulging in a glass or two of wine, a gift from a nice customer, and watching meet the parents. Ahhhh...

PS. I have a rash all over my arm. It itches and its pretty gross.

all over

Thank you to Losure who alerted me to the 'end of the era.' www. hamstersex.com has been blocked. Awww. On the upside I'm pretty sure midgetsex.com is still going. There is a God after all.

sooo hot

I keep having these moments of profound thoughts which would make a pretty great blog. But then I forget them and you end up with the usual rambling, pointless stories that you've become used to. This one is no different.
Friday night I got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. By chance Nicola got up at the same time. Meeting in the hallway, half asleep, she took one look at me and doubled up laughing. I had no idea what was going on. Finally I realised it was my sleep atire that had caused the fit of laughing. Having no need to dress nicely at night, I have taken to wearing the warmest clothes possible due to the fact that my house is a little ice box. I had been wearing this outfit for a while but Nic had never seen me in it before. So I decided to treat you to a hot picture of me. Bear in mind that the fleece top (and matching mini skirt) came free with something and turned out to be incredably warm. And every layer helps. And so I'm not the only one looking bad, here is Nic too, in her sleep wear. I wonder why we are single...

ode to losure

I completely forgot to thank losure for the FANTASTIC and may I say wonderful piece of arkwork he sent me for my birthday. I especially like the fact that George Bush is dead. Impaled upon the American flag, ahhh.

and the birthday pictures.

Aren't we special...
