Crispy pancakes

What a shitty day… I hate Tuesdays at the best of times, never mind when I’m the phone to NTL and O2 all bastard morning! I swear I didn’t start working on the stuff I planned to do until after 12. I also ignored my phone which I never do! I might have a word with my supervisor tomorrow about making it so that I’m not on my own every Tuesday, I mean what if I was ill? And I do have the most frequent periods of tummy ache!

On the upside the tickets for We are scientists came today! woop! it doesnt say who's supporting though - nevermind.

Tonight im off to the Talbot, after my tea of crispy pancakes and mash (with peas and carrots) yummy yummy (even if it is the tea of a 6 year old!). It will be nice to see everyone tonight... Carl also says he's going to come down after the gym, I hope he makes an effort to talk to people, he's not rude, its just he's not very chatty, and doesnt really make an effort to talk to people he doesn't know really (which i hate!) I mean how can you have too many friends?!

Oh! one last thing.. I won a dress on ebay that I love! check it out!!!

Hollyoaks

Shit how good was tonight's hollyoaks? So good I broke my one golden rule and watched tomorrow nights early on E4. Ace stuff! no way can i wait until wednesday now!

Im going to watch the Electric Proms 06 tonight on the BBC website, id never heard of such a thing until my mate (who managed to bag a ticket) told me about it today... apparently its a gig that went off this weekend in Camden. The lucky bastard got free tickets, off a friend of a friend who ever so casually know's Kasabian - err WHAT THE FUCK? how jealous am i? of course my new line's going to be... " so a friend, of a friend, of a friend know's Kasabian" hmm I thinks its a bit cheeky to ask for VIP in Dec dont you? Well anyway.. iv been told to watch it, as the set Kasabian did will blow my mind apparently, although maybe he was stoned saturday its still worth checking out i think!


Well im off in the shower now and will get my PJ's on. My tummy's still not right... and silly me thought the super noodles on toast would sort it!

Ebay tastic

Well I can’t believe how quick the weekend goes! Had a really nice day yesterday, apart from getting up early! I woke up at 9 thinking “shit its 9 – how early!” (Especially as I didn’t go to sleep till at least 1.30) then I realised it was 8… bugger. I lolled in bed for an hour or do face down willing myself to go back to sleep.
Gave that up as a bad job so got some coffee and crumpets and got back in bed with the laptop and T4, pretty much enjoyed a lazy morning. I got showered and dressed for about 12, when Carl came round. Had some lunch then set off into town. Had a nice walk round, I brought myself a cute little handbag which is ideal for gigs, and got a couple of bits for xmas, including my cards.

Had a lazy afternoon on my own. Went on the internet and found out id made about £30odd selling tat on ebay! Woop to me!

After tea went into town to LSOM. I aint been for MONTHS! And I’m really glad I went…! Saw Fiona who I haven’t seen for ages (but who always comments on my deathly boring blog!) she said something really nice to me too (Fiona you know what I mean) and it really cheered me up, so thanks for that hunnie! Also saw Olly, Dave, Laura Wardo, Tibzy, HSB - who I now remember I’ve met before @ St John street – no not the clap clinic (that’s ANOTHER story) and pretty much as I was going Wiggy came, (rather late I might add – what was he doing until 9.00?) didn’t really get to say much other than hi, perhaps I might stay later next time (or I might be brave enough to join you all one evening)

Anyway! Left town about 9.30 and went for a drive round…. Ended up in Shirebrook and drove over the little bridge near the train station and it turned my tummy inside out, and pretty much ever since iv felt sick! Ha ha Iv not been able to eat my lunch hardly and I keep getting hiccups which are making the sickness worse! Oops! Staying in tonight, gonna wash my hair straight away when I get in, put my PJ’s on and RELAX. Check out peoples blogs as I haven’t had time at work (plus I really should be working anyway) hopefully I’ll be right tomorrow for work, cause its skiving Tuesdays where I’m in the office on my own, so not turning up is NOT an option (great) I could really go home right now too, and get in bed with a cuppa. Anyway! In the style of that pig with the stutter….

“thhaaattttsss alllll ffooolllkkkeeeesss”

Smile

Lily Allen was excellent!!!

Laura was the designated driver and I was the navigator (a team that had never failed before). I was picked up at 7 (bang on time I might add) and we set off for Sheffield. Took us about an hour to get there, only got a bit confuddled in the city centre but we found somewhere to park (by sheer luck in the end) outside a pub (the plug.com) where a nice bouncer said he would watch the car (woo hoo free parking).

We walked the 10 mins to Leadmill and we went in. We found the bar and then went for a scoot around, then found some seats. Sat chatting (through the support) then decided to go to the loo before Lily came on. What a mistake that was. I have never seen anything so vile in my life… there were puddles of what I can only assume were piss on the floor, gross!

We moved into main floor area for about 9.30 and then we were treated to over an hour of musical enjoyment from Lily and her band! It was soooo hot in that room what an error wearing the skinny jeans was, my arse was sweating and I was roasting. Sweating aside it was really really good! She sang great, singing “nan you’re a window shopper” and a couple of others that weren’t on her album which I though was brill. The best by far for me was when she did a cover of the Kooks “naive” and “Alfie” right at the end was fantastic.

We left and got back to the car about 11, where a nice man from the pub pointed us into the direction of a Maccy D’s. set off about 11.30 from there and went home on the motorway for easiness, and didn’t take that long. Got in and couldn’t sleep cause I was that hyped up – so had a cuppa and read for a while. What a great evening.

We are Scientists next week, and im really looking forward to that!!!

Oh and Lily's Sax player was HOT!! yum yum (nicer than bouncer boy lol)

Pics (shit)

And so the shopping begins!

Today is the first official day I have started my Christmas shopping!! Yay to me! Been in town this afternoon with Carl and brought my friend Emilee Freddie and his flying fish. It’s the same game as the elephunk one but £5 cheaper!

I also brought some cards and some money wallets for Carl’s nieces and nephew.

Last night I stopped at my friend Emma’s and had a chilled evening with her daughter Emilee and her friend Georgia. Had some dorito’s and dips and chatted which was nice, not seen Emma for ages, and her daughter is a darling! Were all going to see Disney Princesses on ice on the 9th Nov, and Emilee is going to wear her snow whites costume I think, so I thought it might be an idea for me to wear my princess crown and take my magic wand. Funnily enough I have a pic of the crown!

In other random bollocks… iv found a house I want!!! £98k 4 bed semi-detached, conservatory, downstairs loo, drive way, Rainworth location.. And guess what?!! Carl says “were not in a position to buy at the moment” er!! When did he get the sensible one? Only last year was he trying to persuade me to get his mates old house (which looking back we should of done) but now he’s being sensible?! Okay, so we did agree that we were going to save for a deposit, after being told by the nice money guy that a mortgage of £90k 100% was gonna be about £600 a month, lol but not everyday a house like this comes along… SO… iv arranged to get the details sent anyway! Ha! Hmm only problem is if I fall in love with it!

the house:

Anyhoo! Deal or no deal will be on in a sec, so I’d best shoot. Tonight im gonna chill with Carl and watch some TV, tomorrow have a lazy day, oh and GO AND SEE LILY ALLEN!!!!! Woop woop! Can’t wait! Me and Laura road trip to Sheffield! LOVE IT!! Will take some pics and post them up on Sunday

Laters

Lush!

Shit iv been dreaming about one of these all day...

The new cheesy bites pizza from Pizza hut, looks ace

What shall I do?

Well; last night I had a call from the agency iv signed up with to tell me about a job in Nottingham that might be of interest to me…. It’s an Assistant Management Accountant role which is what I want to be doing, working for a Large Company I have heard of, and it sounds like something I’d be interested in IF it was based closer to home.

I went to try and find the place last night, which is on the Boots Industrial Estate just off Clifton Boulevard. I’m sooooo not too keen about travelling to Nottingham, admittedly I didn’t want city centre which this isn’t BUT it is still gonna take me shit loads of time to get to work, traffic will be a nightmare I assume…? It is for more money, but is it WORTH it? I’m reluctant to leave where I am at the mo as something might be coming up,,,, although this is just words, nothing for sure though… and will I hate adding an hour each way and horrendous traffic to my journey, and to be fair… it took us ages to find the place and at one point we were heading towards the motorway in the direction of Birmingham. So the titles of today’s blog is “what do I do?”

In other news I risked life and limb to get to work this morning…. The baby swans are in the move! They were poddling down my street this morning, and as I rounded the corner to avoid them, they turned round and headed straight for me!!! aggghhh! It will only get worse as the babies get older and braver!! Last year I came face to face with one right outside my house… after it had taken the most enormous shit on the front lawn (bearing in mind I like 4 houses down a cul-de-sac, so they’d had a fair bit of walking to do). I’ll have to get the beak-proof vest out soon. Check out the pic… and note that the car is not parked… he’s just waiting patiently at the top of the street for the swans to do their thang and move on out of his way.

Oops I brought a coat

Hell yeah I did! A little funky number from Topshop! Black with “this seasons” tube collar style jobbo…. Oh yes!!! A bit of faux fur is what everyone needs!! Now I got to pray for some cold weather to wear the bastard! Unlucky for me were having an unnaturally warm October…. Bollocks. Also on the subject of winter wear are fingerless gloves ok? S;potted some funky green ones I kinda liked today.

In other news… Iv been getting back to my youth listening to my Five CD’s…. Doing the little moves in the car, getting strange looks from manky ladies in Micra’s “love have you never counted down from 5 before on your hand?!” well I have, and I cannot wait for these bad boys of pop to make a comeback! Fuck making new records I want the old stuff!!! Only in a Five record do you get pop, rap and a dance routine!!! Kids these days don’t know what their missing, I mean im partial to a little bit of McFly (well Danny) but there nothing compared to Five, Take That, NKOTB, and I hate to ass East 17.

Oh and I have a slight crush… okay maybe not a crush… but I was reading a mag today and came across a pic of Lindsay Lohan, and thought she looked pretty fit… there’s nothing to worry about though… I don’t think im a lezza! Ha ha or am I???



On that note I’ll leave it with ya!!

Closet chav?

I MADE TWO WEEKS!!!!!!!!! I haven’t had a fag for 2 weeks… how frikkin ace is that?? Im really proud of myself, hopefully the next week will be easier... I found it pretty stressful at work this week.


Well!!! I don’t feel like iv done anything today but already it’s like 5.40! madness!! I cleaned my car this afternoon which took the best part of 2 hours and I aint even polished it. I gave it a thorough inside clan, clearing out all the fag ash (there was even ash on the parcel shelf) and I cleaned all the windows proper with window-lean, its amazing how much scum gets on the inside window from smoking inside it. I think I might even invest in some proper leather cleaner for the seats… I washed them down with soap suds today and im pretty sure that’s going to knacker it before long!

Iv been on the internet for hours ebaying some random shit, and in the process of searching my room for stuff to sell I found my Take That mug from the concert I went to 10 years ago!!! Fantastic! Might have to take that bad boy to work!!!

I think I might be a closet chav… Jay’s always getting on at me, calling me a chav, and today iv found….. Bench belt, Golddigga jacket, and some Adidas tracksuit bottoms! What the fuck?! They’ve gone on Ebay anyway.. in the hopes that some chivvy kid will buy them!! Iv also found some blue suede shoes!! No kidding! There actually Reebok Classic trainers! Ace! I wonder how much they will sell for?

Anyway! Off to Carls tonight, got “The Hulk” on DVD to watch with some Doritos and PLEANTY of dip! Yummy!!!!

PS isn't this the cutest photo of my cat? lol

Emo?

Finally it’s Friday! I feel like I’ve been working non-stop this week! I’m looking forward to a restful weekend. Got to get up early tomorrow to post some eBay shit that I’ve sold. And finally my blue shorts have arrived!!! They are fantastic!!! A little shinier than I anticipated but its all gravy! Gonna look pretty funky with my shoobs and a black top… I’m thinking polo neck for the winter??

Works been okay today, bust as usual but my supervisor is off next week, which means that I’ll be able to concentrate on my work 100% instead of sitting with her ½ a day to learn this new work. It also means that I can work my ass off and impress her to fuck for when she gets back…. That way if anything job-wise comes up at work I will be considered for something higher.

It’s been 2 weeks tomorrow since I packed up the fags and I don’t think I have put any weight on at all… I am going to weigh myself tomorrow, but my trousers are still as baggy as they was before, we’ll see for sure when I go back to the docs in another 2 weeks… I dunno what I’ll do if I haven’t I DEFO wont start smoking again, as to be honest my tummy pains have been so leff frequent since I quit, now im not sure if that’s connected at the mo, I think its too early to tell, I’ll give it another couple of months to be sure.

Plans for tonight are to chill at Carl’s with the quality TV. And tomorrow I will mainly be downloading music… I have to do a “five o’clock hero’s” album for my brother whoever the hell they are, and im going to do myself the “Panic! at the disco” and “my chemical romance” album too. Been talking to the girl who’s at my place on work experience today and she reckons that the music I like is “emo”. This term short for emotional, and as the urban dictionary describes as:

Genre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who dont smile, high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts with tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, black square rimmed glasses, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least 3/5 ths of the face at an angle

Usually I wouldn’t be worried but its not the first time that this word has been mentioned to me… I don’t think I am, or look like an Emo, does wearing skinny jeans and listening to punk/indie make me emo? I HOPE NOT!!!! Oh to add salt to the wounds Carl thinks I look like Russel Brand when I wear my black jeans? If you agree i'll cry!

Anyway! Iv gone on long enough... im going to give Hollyoaks my full concentration.... Justin is a lieing piece of shit! lol

Death

We’ve been talking about death this morning at work, not the serious side of it (what do you expect?!) but like do you want to be buried or burnt? My choice would be to be burnt, I think it’s a lot nicer – the thought of rotting away in the ground turns my stomach, and I also think it’s cheaper! Apparently you have to pay for a plot of land to be buried in, how shocking!!! I don’t like that idea!!!



We also discussed if you could find out when you were going to die – would you?? I think I would…. That way you could get all the things you wanted to do done. Like flying around the world, streaking at Wimbledon (not my life-long ambition, purely for example purposes you understand!). Some people at work said they wouldn’t like to find out… but what if you didn’t get the chance to tell people certain things? Wouldn’t you feel like you’ve missed out?? I fully admit I want to go out with a BANG and cause as much destruction as I can before I go! I want to be remembered, whether people remember me in a good or bad way I don’t care, at least I’ll be remembered! And people call me Vain?!! Mind you writing about your life each day for all the world to view is hardly the act of a private person is it?

Have a think, and if you’d like to share your views id be dead (dead geddit?) interested in hearing what you think.

For Chelle

So far there is nothing of interest to blog about today…. So why the hell am I blogging??? I’ll tell you why…. To say a big hello to my friend Chelle who reads my blog everyday bless her (and yet has only commented once!) Chelle I think you need to get a blog m’dear! Tell us all the random crap that goes off in your life like I do!!

Went to the pub last night, was trying to persuade Laura to come into town with me on Saturday (you know you want that boots catalogue), common!!!!! Im not too proud to beg!
Had a shitty day at work… well not shitty, good cause iv been learning loads of new stuff, but LONG, and tiring. I haven’t been out for lunch for two days, feel’s like iv been in the office for 2 days straight (which I have I guess!) im going to make sure my work FRIEND Nic Nic comes with me and does something Friday… maybe Burger King??!! Nic if you’re reading this HINT!!!!!

Off to Carl’s tonight, im really looking forward to it, I haven’t seen him since Sunday afternoon. He dropped in at the pub for a short while last night wearing a “STATUS QUO” t-shirt of all things, what the FUCK!! He’s going to see them in December for the 2nd time ha ha ha and what’s sad is he wont even be embarrassed by me sharing this. GOODNESS I am!!!
Anyway ~ im off to get my tea (bangers and mash) and then my pudding which today consists of a toffee apple (thanks mum)

Smell ya later!

Skinny Tuesday

Well I stayed in again last night as Carl has a guitar lesson on a Monday. I Chilled, watched TV and chatted on MSN to my new mate Wiggy. I say that cause I have only met him twice and yet we’ve been chatting on msn for some time now. He’s shouted out to me in his blog so I think it’s only fair I do the same!

Watched Vincent last night and it was brilliant! Really enjoyed it! Then watched Graham Norton and went to bed (thrilling).

Well Were back to Tuesday again and I’m on my own at work, I have loads to do though so that’ll keep me out of trouble… lets see how many skinny comments I get today – Yesterday someone at work came up to me and said “gosh how skinny are your arms” and felt the need to touch the top of my arms and really get a feel for the skinny-ness by trying to put their fingers round the top (thanks), I coolly replied, yes they are skinny compared to yours aren’t they? (ha! 1-0) And so far this morning someone’s walked up to me and said “oooh I thought you were eating” (I was chewing a bubbly) I’m like “yeah course I’m eating – why?” they said “well I just want to see you eating that’s all”, so shall I invite you round to mine so you can stare while I eat my fucking tea, is that what you want?

I’m sorry, but you don’t walk up to a fat person and say “shit, just look at the size of your arse, you wanna cut down on the chips luv” so why do people think it’s acceptable to come to me pointing out how thin I am? It’s exactly the same, well exactly the opposite but you get me?! I’m sick of it, I know I’m thin, of course I’m eating (other wise id die you thick fuck), think for a moment before you speak that I (like a fat person) might be a little unhappy about my size, and would appreciate it if people didn’t point it out.

If you haven’t got anything nice to say, then please don’t say it, for the sake of your nose (I’m assuming you like un-broken?) not that I could break it, what with my skinny arms, we can assume I’ll get someone to break it for me.

Shoob's and Sausages

Whilst waiting for my optician to pull his head out his arse I went a walk round ASDA, and brought the most bizzarr item... now iv seent the celebs wearing them, and iv seen some people in town sporting the "shoob" (for those not in the know the shoob is a cross between a shoe and a boot) I never thought of myself as a shoob person... well anyway at £10 i couldn't damn well resist so what do you think??




Im REALLY not sure, and want people's opinions please!! Im thinking either denim skirt and thick tights? the cute purple dress im gonna get (scroll down to previous blog) or my new blue shorts? Rather dissapointingly they dont go with my skinny jeans, or maybe i just need some skinnier ones???

Oh yeah, on the way back from ASDA I called in at the chippy and asked for a big long sausage to accompany my chips.... lol WRONG

Random Dream

I had possibly the weirdest dream last night.

There was me, Princess Nikki (of Big brother fame) and Harry Potter and we were playing Quidditch! We had to put our hands up in assembly and be chosen for the team (I can’t think what position I was chosen to play) but we were flying on our broomsticks chasing a giant lion who was sniffing the ground in search of “him”. As the lion started digging at the grass I woke up.

Oh and I distinctly remember being in Clinton cards at some point in my cloak.

I never usually remember my dreams, do you think someone could analyse this for me? Or will they just say im WEIRD?

The Birthday

Well what a great day yesterday, it started off by me going to see my made Jade who turned 21, giving her her presents and seeing what everyone else had brought her. I then had a pretty chilled afternoon in preparation for the nights celebrations.

After debating whether leggings are wrong (I decided not) I met Jade and everyone in the Mucky Duck about 8.00, had a quick catch-up drink and then went to Charters, which is a new pub ~ it used to be Roumers. Had some champagne in there and boogied with some old and new songs…. We won a pocket radio for answering a song-question right (this is relevant), and saw some old mates which was great. Jade was getting more drunk by the minute and me craving a fag more and more. From there we moved on to the Swan, it was pretty warm so we stood outside. Jade was pretending to be a TV reporter with one of the free-radio earphones in her ear, she was going up to random’s and interviewing them with topical questions such as “so your in Mansfield – what do you think?” lol frigging hilarious! Well.. You know me, not to be outdone I had the other ear-piece (don’t ask why they were separate, we don’t know) and then me and Jade started pretending we were police or bouncers of some kind…”6 o’clock… yeah u see him? GO GO GO” lol you get the gist im sure!! Awesome. And yes, I am one of them annoying drunk people in pubs, I hold my hands up!

From the Swan (after a lot of dawdling in the centre of town) we went to Cheeky Monkeys, que cheesy vengaboys moves and lots of cider! We went into the Bowl in hand for a swift one (where I actually had a couple of drags on a fag).

Then on to Mathas, where quite frankly I had the best time…. We were on the dance floor, getting the DJ to shout out to Jade every 5 mins, requesting all our fav songs. He gave us a free bottle of champagne (well.. I say champagne) and then the DJ left the box… what happened next was a blur…. The next time I look up Jades behind the box with his headphones on with her arms in the air like she’s in Ibiza!!!! The DJ comes out.. Clearly not bothered puts his arm round her and they are both at it, with their arms in the air! Ha ha ha the group did get a few strange looks…

The evening was finished off an bar 19, which was pretty chilled as we only stayed downstairs, had some chips, beans and cheese and then went home.

Quality night, and im gutted my camera’s flash wasn’t working… cause the pics would have been hilarious! I did manage to get one of Jade’s DJ’ing antics on my phone though.

Today, im going to have a lazy day, go up to Carls this afternoon, and then im seeing my mate Emma tonight, which will be ace as I haven’t seen her or her daughter for AGES!

Oh and if anyone asks the couple drags on the fag didn’t count. And I think that actually the first night of going out as a non-smoker and only having a couple drags compared to the 20 I used to smoke when out, is pretty damn good… don’t you agree??? So im going to count that as 8-smoke free days so far.

The party

Well!!! I had an absolutely fantastic time last night at the Ann Summers party!!! Cheers Chelle for the invite!!! I met loads of new people who work at my place, just different departments, and they were all so lovely!! I was a bit nervous going on my own, as sadly Laura and Jade couldn’t make it, but it was sooo much fun!

The party leader Wendy was excellent, really got the mood going well… and its so surprising how a group of women will open up (even when I didn’t know anyone) I think I know more about some people there last night than I do my best friends! Ha ha but that’s the brilliance of it. I’m still scared of the rabbits!!! Although Wendy did persuade me to touch the “ears” yuk!! I don’t know what it is about them that scare me so much… I’m not a prude or anything and I’m not scared of other toys, but the rabbits really give me the creeps!!!

ANYWAY… moving on….. Tonight I’m seeing Carl, and I have £5 for a pizza… hopefully he will have a couple of pound to put to (I can’t cope with being skint – this saving malarkey is crippling me). Saturday I plan to have a nice lazy morning, and then go and see Jade to wish her a happy 21st!! I can’t believe she is going to be 21 tomorrow… its such a special day for her I hope she has a wonderful day. And then were all out Saturday night to celebrate…. Should be a right laugh, I’m out with the girls who we go out with on a Bank Holiday Sunday… mostly Jade’s and her sisters friends, but I think Laura was planning on coming tomorrow (although she has been ill so might not make it).

Right, back to work Ciao for now!

Thursday

Totally didn’t get a change to blog yesterday! Was mega busy at work!

My team had a meeting yesterday and its been decided that all the stuff I currently do is to be divvied up between 2 other members and I’m going to learn some new more “challenging” stuff. Great you might think? NOT! Were all on the same grade, so I’m feeling a bit put out. All my old work has been taken off me, and I’m to teach the other members how to go on… and then I get harder stuff from our supervisor so she has more free time for urgent stuff, but I don’t get any extra money for it. Not the greatest idea is it? So was on a bit of a downer yesterday.

On the up-side I’m still off the fags, and I actually didn’t even think about having one this morning until I got halfway to work, which is an achievement. My Tummy’s also been pretty good this week although now iv said that I’ll probably jinx it.

I think iv upset one of my colleagues this morning already…. They text me last night asking if id sorted some work I was doing and I text them back saying we’ll speak about it in works time… oops, perhaps I should of phrased it a bit better than that, but STILL… I aint thinking about work at 6.40 in the evening lol

Well! Got loads on today! And tonight im going to Chelle’s house for the Ann Summers party!

Xx

PS I can’t think of a more imaginative title than Thursday today

Urgent my arse

Today has been a big struggle. I’m in the office on my own every Tuesday, and it’s easily the worst day of the week for me. Work’s been hectic; everything is “urgent” today grrr…. I love that people throw around that word without thinking about what really is “Urgent”, so im running round like a blue-arsed fly sorting people's shit out and it turns out its not even that urgent! *grumble*

It’s a shame I haven’t got much planned for tonight. My Mum’s cooking tea so I hope its something nice… I had pasta, salad and coleslaw for my lunch today and there was proper loads, iv also had a huge flapjack this afternoon, and feel a bit sicky now :-p

I’ve actually got a fair bit to look forward to this week, tomorrow is Chad day where I might find a new job (and also I will see the pic I put in there for my mates 21st! – can’t wait for her to see it!) I’m off to my bud Chelle’s Thursday night for an Ann Summers Party which should be fun, Friday night in with Carl, might suggest Domino’s as I get 50% discount! OH YES! And Saturday night I’m out on the town for Jade’s 21st, which will be quality! It’ll be mega hard not to smoke, but I have a funky lil’ outfit planned and I’m just gonna have a drink in each had and dance all night to forget about my craving! Yay.
Then Saturday I’m off to buy that lush dress from Red Herring!! (Which is going to go perfect with the shoes I sneakily brought yesterday to cheer myself up!)

Right, well gabbling has made me feel better and taken up a little bit of time…. Gonna make a cuppa and enjoy the last hour at work :)

Magic Monday

Will I ever get through the HELL that is today??? I think my colleagues are purposely pissing me off!! Lol (still no fags if you hadn’t guessed)

ANYWAY, to cheer myself up I ordered some lovely black pumps off ASOS this afternoon, and im planning on making a nice tea of pasta, sauce and salad MMMMM

Last night went for a drive with Carl. We actually started looking at little areas and nice little places where we would be prepared to live. We found a nice new estate near Sutton Junction which was very posh! (It has street names of Willow Drive and the like! How cute!), we went up on the new estate in Shirebrook and I have to admit it’s rather nice…. We did discuss living there (as its cheaper) but we thought about the schools and the shopping facilities and agreed that we’d like to be more Mansfield way and like to have nice shops/pubs in a relatively short distance from us… And then we finally went for a drive round Rainworth! MMMMM I love it there, id really like to live there if I’m honest! Either there or Forest Town.

Anyway… roll on 4.00. iv set myself a target and at 4.00 I’m going to make a drink and have a jammy dodger (iv got to give myself something to aim for)

No smoking day 2

Shit I can really feel the lack if nicotine today. Im in a really foul mood, mind you it doesn’t help that my fathers a fucking twat. My Gran went to A&E this morning, and after my mum went to work I took her home. My dad’s a nob; he made such a meal out of putting on her coat, locking the house up and getting into my car. I actually had to stop myself from taking a swipe at him. Grrr Sorry, for those who aren’t my brother will just think im being a mardy cow, but my dad really is that bad and sometimes I can’t bear to be in the house with him…. I can’t wait to move out, he’ll be out of my face everyday.

Went into town this afternoon, to try and clear my head. Was pissed off cause Carl said he would come then he said he was too busy, and I wanted him to help me choose a new winter coat. I didn’t find a coat, but I found a dress, that I think im going to treat myself to, when say I get to maybe a week or 2 weeks of quitting….!

Cute hey? :














After town Carl came to mine and we took Max and Paddy (his mum’s Kings Charles Spaniels) round the rez… they were really well behaved actually, and cause they are so cute everyone kept stopping to “awww” them, I was running with Paddy through some puddles, and his mum is going to freak cause he’s filthy! Tee hee.

Here’s a pic: Max is on the left and Paddy is on the right
















Not sure what im up to tonight.. Carl was going to go to the gym - if he goes I won’t see him till Wednesday, which im annoyed at… BUT my mate Jade’s coming round tomorrow…. She’s going on Holiday next Monday and coming to nick some stuff…. Hats, bags, that sort of thing. She’s also going to dye my hair for me. I might post a pic tomorrow as I had it cut yesterday day too.

Anyway, im off. I picked up the new boots Xmas catalogue today (Laura are you jealous?) and im going to drink my (now cold) tea.

Stopping Smoking

WELL,,,, im back from the docs. basically he's told me iv got to stop smoking. Its non negotiable. Cigerettes supress your appetite, and doc reckons i will have 200/300 more calories a day by stopping smoking. I have to go cold turkey too.. no nicotine patches/gum as they have the same toxins in them that will surpress my appetite.

Im not sure how hard im going to find it...im feeling quite down about it.. i know if i stop and I put on more weight it will be great, plus I will save loads of extra cash for the house, and I wont smell like an ashtray blah blah blah, but its the habit, and a lot of my friends smoke, its going to be a bumpy ride, what makes it worse is my mum will gloat. she's been waiting for the doc to tell me to stop for over a year now..

Fuck it, i gotta do it... doc wants me to go back in 4 weeks with a gain in my weight!

So to all my friends... I apologise in advance if im a ratty, unsociable, scranny cow but its doing my health the world of good so please be supportive!!

TFI Friday

Well, it’s Friday!! FINALLY!!!

I’ve not been up to much these past few days so not a lot tell… mainly watched TV last night (there is some great comedies on BBC2).

I’ve had such a horrid week at work though. I’ve been so so busy, which usually I don’t moan about but iv not been very well this week. I’ve had tummy ache pretty much all week, and I’ve finally booked an appointment at the doc’s at 4.40. Hopefully he can sort out my bad tum and we can address the weight issue.
At the moment I’m chomping through a mars bar (284 calories) I cannot believe people eat these things on a daily basis… but my mum said that they give them to under-nourished people so I’m forcing it down (literally) yuk

Looking forward to the weekend, mainly so that I’m not suffering at work, and I can just lie in bed with my tummy ache… I’m off to the Pub Saturday afternoon to watch the football, which is something to look forward to, and I plan to go into town on Sunday to get a new winter coat – iv received £50 from college today for completing my AAT course in August, so I’m going to spend it on something I need!

Iv been pretty annoyed with my brother today, and its difficult falling out when he’s in Manchester… I accidentally opened a parcel of his the other day (we both share the same initial and the same surname) and he flipped out. I explained that he should get parcels delivered to Manchester if he was worried someone else would open them (it was only a CD) or include another initial on his delivery address so that I know they are not for me (it wasn’t addressed to Mr or Miss), well anyway… funny thing is he always asks me while I’m at work to check his ebay and hotmail for messages as he hasn’t have internet access at work, and doesn’t have his own internet connection at home. For months I’v been checking them, and today iv flipped. He’s been very demanding, asking me to respond to ebay messages for tickets he’s selling and expecting me to start cancelling his auctions he has running and set up a buy-it-now auction for someone… and im like NO WAY! I’ve e-mailed him telling him he’s taking the piss, and I had enough. I did go a bit far and threaten to open all his mail at home whether it said Mr on or not! Ooops, perhaps I should apologise?

Anyway, that’s my day so far! Wish me luck at the docs!

Ciao!

Xmen 3

This film RULES!!!!!! Watched it last night, and it rocks. Was really exited when it got delivered. It’s a mint film, some great effects and a great plot. I love the X-men films.

Just ordered the Fantastic four DVD off Play.com – getting right into the superhero films now

Bently Man

Ha ha ha just driving home from the Talbot tonight and noticed i was driving behind a Bently... Pulled up next to it at the traffic lights and start checking out the car... The guy clocks me and i look away. Embarrased i casually start looking at the car again and see him look at me... and get this.. he smiles.. AND waves!! Not that im not happy with Carl like, but HELLO?!! guy with a Bently!!!

Interview Feedback

I’ve just come back from a meeting with the manager who interview me last week, and turned me down for the post of Management Accounts Assistant, and I have to say I feel a little better. I’m still so gutted I didn’t get the job BUT the manager said that I interviewed great, she was impressed that I was chatty, friendly and bubbly, and I wasn’t afraid to ask when I didn’t understand something, its just that’s the person who beat me to it has more experience in a finance environment (whereas I work in IT doing a finance role)

She said she’s actually spoken to the Assistant Director about me, and that if anything were to come up in the future she would want them to know I would be interested and I would be a good candidate for employment. So I guess in that respect, iv gained the fact that they know who I am, know I’m keen, know I interview well and would be a good person to employ, so that gets me ahead of the game slightly!

So feeling slightly positive, I’m gonna get some lunch!

Cio!

Weight gain and the X Factor

Sick of being stupid skinny iv decided to start a weight gain mission. For the time being im going to aim for a stone… and see where that takes me (up to 8st 10lb’s im hoping!!). The plan is to eat more food (stuff that generally people leave out their diet) but I have to be careful as with my IBS I will get tummy ache with certain foods! *grumble*

BUT not to be put off today for my lunch I had a ham salad sandwich, a pack of dorito’s, a pot of coleslaw, a sausage roll and a yoghurt and im fit to bust still (at 6.00pm). Not to be put off im going to make pizza and chippies for my tea…. Hoping to see some weight gain process soon!

I think it’s about time really.. having lost a stone and a half (in about a year) through illness, its got to the point where my bones are all visible, and after losing a further 3lb’s the other day you can make out my ribs (sorry that’s hanging isn’t it), it’s the final straw and hopefully it will cheer me up if I put on some of the weight Iv lost. Im almost ashamed to say the jeans a brought were a size smaller than the ones im currently wearing.

Also as a note more than anything, im SICK TO DEATH of people talking about the fecking X factor with me. I don’t watch it, I don’t care about it and I don’t think so and so should of got through instead of whoever!

Rant over!

Are you warm enough?

Im not going to make a habbit of posting a million-billion times a day BUT jesus.... why dont people just say what they frikkin mean?

Since the weather dropped a little cooler, evey night when I've been eating my tea my parents have asked me "are you warm enough" each day replying, "yes, im fine thanks" progressivly getting more irritated as the weeks go on... What iv cottoned on to today is that- they dont actually mean "are you warm enough" they actually mean "im cold... please can you put the heating on"!!!!!

It's angered me rather a-lot and I'v flipped out at them... ha! serves them right the lazy buggers! :D

1st Blog

Well... Blogging seems to be the thing to do nowadays so i might as well join in and ramble on about my day here instead of boring the pants off Carl!! lol

I talk a lot of shit, but i doubt many will view this so it doens't matter really does it??

Im a Senior Finance assistant working for the NHS... iv just recently applied (and failed) to get a Management Accountany Assistants role in the Finance Dept at my place, which im still really gutted about. I really needed this job for so many different reasons... I dont seem to be getting anywhere career-wise which is getting me down big time.... im chuffed that all my friends are getting on well with their jobs, but its hard when they keep getting promoted and i don't (we've all got the same qualification for god's sake!). I also want a new job to be able to MOVE OUT! after being with Carl for over 6 and a half years its the natural next-step for us... and also it SUCKS living at home...

Well thats pretty much what this blogs going to be like.. hope you like it... if not... why are you here?!!
