Raw evil score: 31.11%

Ignore all that.

At least I'm not still flaked out on the couch like the boy is. Poor wee lamb.

Fulla Calpol ... and Earl Grey *smirk* he likes it again. I will influence that boy, I will.

Got a full 5 hours last night, which was ok. Almost a normal night. It takes a while to re-adjust yer sleep pattern, doesn't it?

Remembered to send bro's card. Haven't looked through the desk-full-of-mum-stuff yet. Maybe when Andy's here. Find the pastels I'm excited about looking through that stuff with him. Let's face it ... I'm excited about just sitting on the couch looking at him

Still no sign of the AC adaptor they're cutting it fine and I'm seriously hacked-off about that. Part of me thinks I shoulda ordered 2 bloody adaptors cos if this happens again and my PC isn't working, I'll be climbing the walls. Take nothing for granted.

Won't be doing anything with the tree tonight, I think neither of us are up to it. I'll see how he feels tomorrow *hugging the boy*

Kids are like wee hot water bottles

*tsk*

I've been so careful not decorating till December, that I've messed up the Advent Calendar. Must get some stuff to put in it

Got the ladders outta the shed. Thanked God for the light that was installed in loft 4 years ago. Got manky boxes from said loft. That was no mean feat. The tree box weighs a frickin ton. I had to balance it on my head as I descended the ladder, then winced as the corner of it poked into my arm muscles fat. Slid box downstairs to find ...

... bags and bags of charity shop stuff sitting in hall waiting to be plonked outside the Children's whateveritis shop.

Plopped bags outside ^^^ that shop, went to Co-op, got pissed-off cos one bag of shopping cost £16. Am I going mad? I'm sure you used to get 3 bags of shopping for that. My Co-op vouchers are worth £9 this year. Last year I got £40 ! Really, really puzzled by that. I spend a fortune in there.

It's all weighing on me. I've bought nothing for Christmas except frozen roast parsnips for £1 *sigh*

I've been saving a £5er a week to give Mini some dosh for Christmas so he can go to the HipHop Shop for clothes. Here ye go ... buy yerself some clothes for Christmas

It's my own fault. I should snap out of it, get my head together and be working. Procrastination/fear/whatever.

I'll be ok inna bit so don't go all huggy on me. I brought it all on myself.

Arg! Wanna switch comments off. You don't have to comment. xxxx

Counting down the days is all very well ... when you know the date yer counting down to

Not long now, anyroads. He's updated his website BTW and it looks waaaay better. He was writing code till after 3am this morning ... lots of work. I voted it a thumbs up on Stumble so ... a few more hits per day I miss him on blog. It's lonely here without him but at least he's on IM.

Nearly over my cold. Worst one ever! Have watched lots of American comedy.

King of Queens
Everybody Loves Raymond
Simpsons
Friends
Scrubs
Sex and the City
Malcolm in the Middle

I have to say ... Malcolm in the Middle is frickin great. Very very funny and cool theme tune from even cooler band

Becky/Hayley/Roy have been cheering me up these past few nights too. Especially Roy and Becky. Yer missin' yersel' if you've not seen it

Right, that's exhausted me. Time for a cuppa ...

I think this one thing lifts the other one I posted about.

Sorry it was such a downer. This one is heart-warming.

Jeez. D'you think it's worth $4 off a tee shirt?

see more pwn and owned pictures

Every now and then there's a good 'un

Feel a little bit better. It's all running out of my head now.

*dripdripdrip*

3 and a half hours sleep the other night, woken by Mini telling of cold symptoms.

11pm last night - phonecall from ex asking if Maxi was here. He had a fight with his mum (LW) and was wandering round somewhere.

12pm - Maxi arrives. Texted my ex and said - "he's freezing and I said he could sleep here." He needed to talk. It's hard when there are a few kids competing with each other.

12.30 - Mini hears the deep voice and comes downstairs. We all stay up till 1.30

Ex drove Maxi home earlier. Ex is hanging around their house quite often now, it seems. Good luck to them. I find it strange though, why would you keep putting yer hand in the fire again? I walk away from things that cause me trouble. Obviously, it didn't bother him so much. I feel a little bit hurt but I'll get over it. I learnt a good long while ago that my feelings are just that ... mine.

The good news is that I'm having an early Christmas. Next week, in fact.

The wee yin was supposed to be at his dad's this weekend, he had asked to change the weekend and I said no cos I feel so washed out. In a dramatic turn of good fortune ... I shall be busy next week ... so we've swapped weekends. Ex didn't think his GF would be ok about it, but y'know what? She was stellar. She said ... "if we were having a long distance relationship and we had the chance to be together at the last minute, we would take it. It's only fair" (kinda thing)

I told ex - our partners are nicer people than we are

The house is becoming a bit cleaner and tidier and I've almost caught up with the bills

Christmas come early.

Ah feck, here come the tears!

Highwayman is my bro.

I'd have forgotten otherwise

are divided into geographical groups and get
approx a minute and a half in the Royal presence.
In each group one or two are selected to stand
at the front and even share a word or two with
Phil. Invariably these are the kiddies that
have swum the Atlantic or become a brain
surgeon aged 16. Anyway - the conversation
she overheard went like this:

Duke of E: Well, what did you do to be here?

Kiddie: I became the youngest person to climb
the highest mountain on every continent.

Duke of E: You're a nutter!

(He then swanned out to polite chuckles.)"

Got 'the letter' today from DSS.

Income Support is finishing for lone parents with a 12 year old child. They haven't given a date but said 'we' would be told 8 weeks before the last payment.

It'll be Jobseekers Allowance from then on.

Better get my skates on, being ok, then.

*scared*

That's all.

I know loads of us are a bit skint but a leaflet for this was in my Radio Times and it looks excellent.

Just a thought.

Weirdo sleep pattern again. Watching soaps till 2ish, bed till 3ish, up again watching Survivors till 4.30 or summat *sigh*

It was surreal watching Survivors at that time. Hundreds of folk dying from flu! Too quiet and surrounded by Lemsips and tissues  although in my heid I still had red roses all round me

Got up with the wee yin for his brekkie. Slumped back to bed and slept all morning. I hate being ill. It halts all that busyness I normally have going on

I've done no Christmas stuff (cos I can't, I'm opting out this year) and the tree isn't even up yet for much-needed cheeriness.

Still waiting for the AC Adaptor (damn you, Acer) and my hair needs washed

I didn't say it was your fault

I said I was going to blame you

more animals

Been putting it off. Spose I have to go out now before the chemist shuts.

The wee yin was freezing when he got back so I brought his quilt down and wrapped him in it.

Me? Wrapped in double quilt. It won't be going back in the cupboard for the foreseeable future. Unless something HUGE happens in the budget.

*unexciting throb*

That was me heid

Not well. Just a bad cold.

I've messed up organising my medicine in time again so have been without painkillers off and on for over a week. P gave me some but they lasted 2 days.

The result is I woke quite early again. Now wrapped in fluffy black dressing gown and double quilt.

Oh well, I only have to phone a few folk today and collect medicine.

I want to change gym day to a Monday (just the one, mind ) cos on Fridays I can't be arsed doing anything. Pilates is fixed to a Wednesday and it's better to have a day in between so ... Monday or Friday.

Found some Lemsip for my cold. I don't usually bother with those but don't have Paracetamol so needs must ... and because I don't normally bother with them, the date on them is 2005 They still work!

Want to sleep but it hurts to lie down.

Can't complain really though. This is the first cold I've had for years.

I really really really want to be looked after. So tempted to tell the wee yin to stay off school (yes, I bluddy know)

He'd be guff anyway I'm no competition for Xbox Live

*ache*

Don't throw flowers or I'll sneeze on you. On purpose.

Actual Food

Day off.

Walked to Justified a taxi back from Asda for food anything shopping.

Bought bluddy loads. Haven't done that for aaaaaages. Got a game as part of a small person's Christmas pressie.

Taxi back.

*feck*

Left the damn thing in the shop I remember the guy walkie-talkie-ing for the disc to be brought over, remember paying and getting change. Then ... ?

Phoned store. No problem. Collect from Customer Services. Phoned ex (who has wheels) He said he'd do it later tonight. He turned up about half hour later (bless!) collected receipt and got the game. He phoned and agreed to bring it when he's collecting Mini.

*sudden realisation*

There were 'adult-type things' listed on the receipt

Oh crap. I'm not gonna look at him on Saturday - I swear!

It's been a nice day. Met an old friend outside the shop earlier. An ex client. Her daughter's on my Facebook. Lovely to see her again, it's been a very long time. She looks well. But - she asked after ex (she knows we've split) and said she hadn't seen him for about a year. lol x lots. He cancelled picking up Mini one Friday night cos this woman apparently needed him to do work for her!

I always find out

So happy where I'm at now

Has blog.ca collapsed?

It's not showing up at all

Quite a few of these got me today but I can't post anything but this ...

Molty's gateway

Four times.

My PC has frozen four times today.

The first time I think it was summat to do with the bluetooth mouse. The second time ... dunno.

Third and fourth times it was flash player on neopets when I was playing a game.

I. Want. My. AC adaptor.

My laptop never crashed. Not even once.

Gawd. I thought I'd fixed this. I need to become SuperGeek

I wish I had the gift of cheery-uppy.

Mostly all I have is BS and bravado

Doesn't always help.

You, you ones who are feeling so ... low. You have beautiful hearts. I know cos I've seen them working.

Life would be fucking awful without you. Deep down you know this.

But sometimes you need to be reminded that you really do make our lives richer.

I, for one, wouldn't want to be lacking you.

It'll get better (sounds shit but it will) ♥ ♥ ♥

Wish I could bear it for you. Because I could.

They're touring again

I won't be able to go to any but I thought I'd let you know

I didn't sleep too well the other night ... made up for it last night

Sounds good? Woke with lots of pain and lost the whole day, pretty much.

The lad has been a bit sneaky, phoning his dad quite a few times without my knowledge. He wants to persuade him to talk me into cancelling the grounding. Aye. Right.

My happy today is ... there are 4 childhood photos of someone very close (figuratively) looking ultra frickin deliciously cute on my hard drive.

But

I'm not allowed to show them *arg*

Nip his brain, will ya?

I know you think your new scam - to try to get people to mail you - is clever.

It's not.

My comments are moderated. All it takes is a few clicks and you're gone

Then I delete the email. It's the same on both my blogs.

Go away and grow a brain

*YAWN*

I foundededed it

Makes me giggle every time

Anyone else noticed that blog's getting back to normal? It started a couple of days ago. Everyone seems a bit less lethargic and chatty. It's been good. I kinda missed it. x
