Apparently the boy got Halo 3 on Saturday. He finished it at 8am on Sunday

His ferret caught a rabbit with meximatosis today I've been assured that his ferret will be fine. The disease doesn't go across species.

Oh gawd they're talking about rabbits on Big Daddy too

I pointed for a while this morning and there were no crashes Sat outside with a friend for a while (gagging for a fag but it's offensive to folk who don't like smoking, to just ignore that fact) Saw my wee pal I (who's just turned 3) ... gave her my Micky Mouse jibbitz for her Crocs cos she's lovely.

Missed the tea by the time I went in so coming home was nice *fag & cuppa*

I'm fairly missing Flicky, since her PC screen went black. I hope she can get it fixed but something tells me that won't be a priority right now

Happy Birthday

my gorgeous friend

I hope these are to your liking

Have a cool day Misseez

Has anyone ever drunk Cherry B?

I bought a pack of 4 small bottles in the Co-op the other day and I've only just tried it. Small sip. It tastes quite strong.

I love Stephen Fry

I don't like slebs but out of all famous people he's my favourite for many reasons. I'm not gonna say what they are suffice to say ... he's a lovely person.

Yes, I'm watching BBC2

Went to town. Bought a bath washy thing, wicker basket and bin liners from Lakeland. There's a sale on

Bought 'stuff' from the chemist still feeling sick after eating.

Bought a massage thingy for relaxing my lower back.

Didn't take the Volarol today to see if it's that causing the stomach upset. It's not, and my back and hips hurt now I can't win.

Spoke to my bro on the phone tonight he'd texted me earlier telling me to google summat. I did and found some pics of him at a festival called Evilstock 2007 ... he was in 2 bands, playing guitar and singing. He doesn't busk now so I doubt if Row would recognise him from strumming on the streets of Chorlton cos that was ages ago now. I copied the pics, so I'll put 2 of them in my media for friends only. Dead proud of him. He played that festival in 2004 too.

He told me to go here too ... http://foodfight/org.uk/evilstock but the page kept timing-out. So I'm sticking the link on here to remind myself to look later

edit - http://www.foodfight.org.uk/evilstock/index.shtml

Still feeling cruddy. Feel sick when I eat, blocked, sore head, raised temp.

I'll go to the doc's on Monday. Could just be a stomach bug.

Going to Lakeland to spend money as I'm fed-up. I don't care about being in debt now. It's not loads.

See you later

Feeling a bit sick and bloated. I don't think my food's digesting properly. Man, I must be so damn tense and I don't even realise musta got used to it and it feels normal now mum was like that too.

Me & the lad have been watching Men In Trees. Most enjoyable. My pal taped the first 3 episodes of it for me, we watched the first episode, then the second ... got half way through and it skipped back to the Sky Box menu (she taped it from Sky) It won't shift from there and we're both gutted.

Meanwhile I'd set my PC telly card to record Emmerdale and Eastenders. It taped the first one and left an error message on screen for me to come back through here to

So, on reflection, it's better to sit here watching things being taped

Me and P had a nice day out today. We've decided not to do lunch any more cos it was getting too pricey ... we each take a turn of buying coffee once per outing now. We did Starbux and Costa today

I wasn't all that tempted to buy anything today. Saw a Ray Lamontagne CD @ £7 then thought "Hmmm A might have that, I'd better check first" and sure enough he has some

It was nice chilling with the lad tonight, he seems quite happy

ABC1 channel has gone

I wondered what was going on, cos it's still marked as a freeview channel in the Radio Times, but I just checked out the website and they're not showing in the UK now! That was a bit bluddy sudden!

Did anyone see 'Stuart - A Life Backwards' the other night? I watched it because of the Cambridge thing but it was very powerful stuff. I live right next to the railway and vaguely remember the station being off limits a couple of years ago cos someone had been hit.

Tonight there's a programme about some tribesmen from Rep of Vanuatu (never heard of it before) coming over to Britain and having a go at the lifestyle. Makes a change from all the Lenny Henry/Joanna Lumley type stuff. I hope they don't take the P outta them.

Then there's that thing about Belle De Jour on later ... Billie Piper as a call girl

Waffling, trying to ignore the fact that my body isn't behaving well

It'll be nothing, but I have to admit to being nervous. Shoulda let the doc examine me ... stupid embarrassment

Saw the doc ... blahblah ... he wanted to give me an internal. I declined. Don't look at me like that. He gave me medicine anyway and says he's not happy about it and if it happens again I have to have an internal.

I'll get the medicine later this afternoon. It's fine

I think my stomach must have bled with the Volterol

I'll let you use yer imagination as to how I know this

feck

Always a good way to start a post.

I've moved the telly and futon from Mini's room, into mine, but he wants it downstairs for one night only

He's going to sleep on it tonight, so you were right as always xxx

I was wondering why I was feeling so iffy earlier. Mibbe the whole packet of couple of dark chocolate biscuits I ate or ovulation (how many times per month?!)

I just realised I musta taken the 2nd Volterol too close to the 1st one

*div*

here is the news story

here is the blog

This is really nice

proper frilly pants ... sshh!

hahahahaha

Have been out for lunch with ex. Mainly cos he agreed to drive me with the bin back to Argos and swap it. Talked about Christmas but didn't actually decide anything Ah well.

They exchanged it with no problems, the new one works

Got dropped home.

*quickly grabbing a towel for the boy and dry clothes*

Cuppa tea ... hot water bottle. He was totally soaked ... wee lamb (ba-aaa)

He helped me move the desk downstairs. We turned it upside down and slid it, almost throwing me backwards with my super-grippy Crocs stuck to the stairs

It's settled in the PC room now behind me. Not sure what to do with the huge useless guff telly right now. Then the single futon has to go to ex's house.

The boy's dead chuffed about the bean bag it's nice to have summat to look forward to, innit?

I'm not really materialistic y'know ... I'm just bored and wanting to change stuff

I feel ... disappointed in myself

Mumsy

Frumpy

Ugly

and

have a sore head

I'm ba-ack

Bussed to Mini's school to order 2 school jumpers for him, bussed to town for lunch mmm Starbux

Bought summat frilly that I couldn't find last month

Stood at bus stop to go 'somewhere else' then to Argos, watched a bus go by on the other side and who was in it? Well? Go on, guess

lol

My sister in law. It's been a loooooong time since we last spoke. After the ridiculous shouting match at work I only spoke to her once when I phoned her house to get hold of ex.

Had a right old gab, sitting at a bus shelter, for a flippin hour lol

I've been invited to have Christmas dinner with them, their family, ex and Mini. I don't know. Planning far ahead has always been tricky for me. I dunno what I want to do next week never mind 3 months time. Well, Mini says there's no way I'm spending Christmas alone again this year. Says if I don't go with them then he's not going. Hmmm. Unless I'm going out with friends or summat.

*aaaaaarg*

Anyway, it was nice to have a catch-up Life's too short for grudges really.

Didn't have time to go 'somewhere else' so went to Argos and bought one of those bins that opens on touch. It's half price. I ordered a bean bag for Mini. It's huge so they're delivering it on Wednesday

Struggled home with the bin ... feck ... the bin opens all right, it just doesn't frickin shut!

Have to go back tomorrow with it.

*bleugh*

P.S. Thanks for all the proffered cheeks earlier I virtually kissed all of them *snigger*

I'm off out inna bit. See you when I get back

lol

Should I kiss you on the cheek too, before I go

I'll try to stop moaning about my ex, cos he's really not that bad.

I quite enjoy moaning now & then though

Forgot to tell you ...

When I got back from Tesco yesterday there was a leaflet through the door.

"Say NO to Tesco on our doorstep!"

They're gonna plonk a Tesco about 200 yards from my house

Yes, the local shops are cool etc but they can be quite pricey and come on ... the co-op's extortionate!

That'll teach 'em for upping the prices

I found it quite amusing after my wee jaunt anyhow

What on earth happened to 'this is my year'?

Stoopid cow

Still does to a degree but I'm battling ...

*meh* ...

LINKY

Lazed about all morning trying to find summat to motivate me. Then it came to me

*ping*

memories of Mini whining saying there's nothin to eat.

That did it.

Bussed to Tesco with my Molly Trolly

Stopping in town for a XL hot dog with sweet chilli relish

Well I kinda saved money by not going in Starbux!!! Su therrrrr

Clected stuff and went for the bus again.

Standing on the main road with the sun beating down on me, I flashed back a month ... aw man ... temptation. Brand new Starbux built on the shop estate.

Will I? Won't I? I've come this far without spending a fortune on wasteful luxuries ... aw hang on, sometimes that's food innit lol

Gritted my teeth and strode past the Land of Luscious Latte *phew* close one.

I'm so NOT embarrassed by that trolly now. A woman got on the same bus as me, went into town and changed buses onto the same bus as me again and got off at the same stop ... she had about 8 bags of shopping and she was really struggling. Ok so I didn't get a 'full shopping' but still, waaaay easier.

Home *phew* unpacked and lay on my bed yapping to the genius of love™

Fuckin bliss!

Strange how crappy shopping and avoiding nice stuff can end in bliss when I talk to yooooooooooooooooooo

Gawd I sound manic

The first one is seriously bad. I couldn't see the pattern through the vellum cos it was thick. The 3rd and 4th cards were from a pack that came from USA, that you make up.

Go me!

I managed to send a picture from my PC to my phone using blutooth *woohoo!*

Yeah I know it doesn't sound that difficult but I don't know much about this stuff and when I tried to send an MP3 to it, it refused

(yes my phone is supposed to play MP3s)

Anyway, yay!

*happy me*

it's the little things that tip the balance

Have a lovely day, beautiful

Went to my friend's place today instead of us going to town. Grabbed 2 Sweet Almond and Poppyseed cakes from the Black Cat to take wi' me.

*bus* bleugh but it's gotta be done.

Coffee was ready when I got there

*munch munch*

Made some cards. She's got loadsa stuff for doing cards to make them look all professional and all that. I still managed to make mine look like a 9 yr old doing freestyle

Lunch was a singapore noodle thing and posh biscuits

Didn't hear Mini phoning me on the way home *Zen in ears*

Got back just after he did.

Horrible phone call from ex. Well, he wasn't being horrible but the news was (last post) *pointing down*

Chat with A then he vanished! PC giving him gyp.

It's been a mixed day. I'm ok about it now. The news was pretty much expected. An infection in the brain. They did well to keep him for so long. My faith feels shakier so I could really do without all the blah blah bloggers and their blah blah I-hate-christians. I've been struggling for a while.

I could also do without the bullshit twisted re-writing of history involving 'the blog argument' going on at the moment. I stopped getting involved in this kinda thing ... till I saw the utter bollox being written and quite frankly my blood boiled

I've followed misguided loyalty before when folk were doing bad stuff round here. I decided (eventually) to right the wrongs and speak up.

No, I'm not two-faced. If you're wrong you're wrong. End of.

LINKY sound familiar?

There will be no misguided loyalty again. If I see summat that's bullshit I'll get mouthy about it. That's why I've joined in the 'debate' in the past couple of days.

Oh look, I've gone all ranty ... haven't done that for a while!

*fneugh*

I made 4 cards and me & pal had a nice 3 hours. And A is back. Phew.

To tie up the loose ends ...

Paul died a wee while ago.

I'm fine. Mini's gutted but fine.

No sympathy. Keep his wife in your thoughts.

xxxxx

Stumbled on this picture and love it ...

*giggle*

Please watch and be sick

ok mibbe a bit unfair, but it's very very unusual

Life.

To me it's about relationships. Learning how to relate better to folk. Developing friendship skills.

That's why I love God. It's what He's about. Reconciliation and love. Sharing things and being vulnerable to create bonds with folk.

I've always had problems relating to folk. Always. But I'll keep trying to improve. I can write on here yadda yadda but being a good one-on-one with someone is different.

Everyday I learn something new about myself or about others and try to work it better into my being. Often I fail (eg. my marriage being one huge failure ... but it's not all mine). 'Stuff' gets in the way. Ego, damaged bits, misunderstandings, etc.

We have to keep trying though, don't we?
