Toblerone


I was well tired today! Lack of sleep as per usual. I stay up to watch Torchwood, even though it's dire, and it makes me uber sleepy every Monday morning. Going to dye my hair again tonight, it should be all dark and lovely. I have one of my school meetings tomorrow so I can showcase it there. I've been faithfully promised that there'll be food at it this time, instead of manky chocolate biscuits like there usually is. At my meeting this is, I sort of made that sound like it was something to do with my hair. I don't think I have a great deal to say today, which is dull. Sorry about that. It's cos all I've done today is speak to mardy farmers and sleep inbetween doing reports. Ooh, apart from when I went to Costco. But I go there every week so the excitment factor has worn off. I can tell you that they have the world's biggest Toblerone there for the bargain price of 40 squid. If you like that kind of thing.

Going loco


Today was a good day! I am recovered at last! After a crappy week, I woke up today feeling pretty fly! Hefty and I watched Saturday Kitchen in bed whilst drinking fresh coffee, then we got up and went to get Hefty's hair cut. It's a bit of a drive, but he won't go anywhere else and I'm happy to take him. While he was being shorn, I looked round some funky shops, and bought some Christmas presents for him. Then we came home, had lunch, and I had a snooze whilst watching Poirot. Bliss. And now I've just got back from Chiquito's, a Mexicany restaurant, where we went with my best friend Kattya, her boyfriend C, her sister (and our friend) Squiz, and my little bruv the Jonotron. Hilarity ensued, as we spent all evening trying to take amusing photos. They were VERY amusing, down-right hysterical to be honest, but describing them to you would be none of these things, so I'll simply say that I haven't laughed that much in ages!! We were pissing other diners off with all the flashing apparently (the camera flash that is), but who cares?! We don't all meet up very often, and you don't go to that kind of restaurant for a quiet, intimate meal. Hefty is currently attempting to get the photos he took off his phone and on to the G5, but he reckons they're not very good. Let's hope Squiz's are!! She had a proper camera though, so they should be!! I say proper camera, every time I tried to take a photo the bloody thing turned itself off. I'm not much good at these things though, it has to be said. Oh, and West Ham won today!! Brilliant! We're 15th now, bad, but better!!! Tomorrow I'm going to dye my hair again. Did I mention that one weekend I just randomly dyed it really dark brown? It looks AWESOME!!! I thought I'd look horrendous (but did it anyway, as you do), but it looks wickedace. Very Lacuna Coil, which is the main thing. Mocha Brown is the colour, it's nice!! Have to do it again though cos it's faded already, and I want to keep it looking gothy. We're also going to Starbucks tomorrow for Gingerbread lattes!! At last!!! And then we're going to Toys R Us to get some stuff for my niece Biz. Can't wait for that! Toy stores are wonderful for immature folk like me! What I really want at the mo, is a talking Nev toy. Nev, for those of you who don't know, is an awesome blue bear thing from CBBC. He's now mainly on SMILE, the CBBC Sunday morning thing. He's well cool, says really random things, has half an ear missing, and is blue!!! I really want one anyway, but they cost £30.00 which is a right rip! Anyways, I'm getting a bit sleepy now, had a busy day! Ooh it's my birthday a week tomorrow, yay!! Next weekend is going to be even better! Plus, we've booked Friday off to put up the Chrimbo decs! Ooh I love December so much, it's the best!!!

Happy iP

Poorly

Well, the evil cold type thing I developed, finally took hold of me yesterday. I went to work feeling lousy, but from 3pm onwards I just got worse. My eyes started watering excessively, my hilarious colleagues decided to give me marks out of ten for coughs and sneezes, and when hometime came, I honestly thought I was too ill to drive home. But I did, and was forced to eat something by Hefty, even though I have NO appetite. Bit of a rough night, am ridiculously hot which didn't help with the old sleeping, so I woke up this morning and just thought "ugh." So I spent today at home, mostly sleeping, but I decided I'd have to get up and try to get going, cos I hope to be okay tomorrow. I can usually work with a cold, it's not nice but I manage, however this has been different and really knocked me for six. Hopefully this means I won't be ill for mine and Hefty's birthdays and Christmas though, which will be a vast improvement on last year!
We never made it for gingerbread lattes on Saturday due to the onslaught of my cold, so I'm going to have to make a special effort this weekend instead! Still got some Christmas presents to buy, my organisation this year has astounded me. Ooh, but I still need Christmas cards and an advent calendar! A proper one, not a gay chocolate one with crap pictures. I'm a traditionalist when it comes to these things. I'm off to have a look then, on line of course, as if I'd move from my seat!

Hopeless


I have had such an odd couple of weeks. I've been ill on and off with random headaches, sickness, the beginnings of a cold, I generally feel crap. Last night, I slept HORRIBLY, the worst I have ever slept, so I now have a right blinder behind the eyes, the eyes themselves being puffy as hell. Maybe I have S.A.D. Though I'm not sure it makes you feel like you have a cold. Oh the wretchedness of it all. Needless to say my motivation to do anything has been at an all time low. I apologise for my lack of blogdom, I can't write it through the day really, and when I get home at the moment I just want to go to bed.
Today Hefty and I are going to go to Starbucks to sample the Christmas range they do. Will have to purchase some of their Christmas blend for home too, something we do every year without fail cos it rules. I always tell myself to get a gingerbread latte because as much as I love the egg nog ones, they're always sickly as hell. The gingerbread one tastes like a pudding or something, it's nice. As Borat would say. I'm writing drivel here, but I thought I should make my presence known again in case anyone does still read this and has been disappointed by my recent lack of committment to it. I have sneezed all the way through this, and am sick of blowing my nose. Oh the torment. I'm going to sign off now and make an attempt to record the day's events later on. After I have taken medication. And gingerbread lattes.

Happy Scotch Egg Day!

Happy Scotch Egg Day people, hope it was the stuff of dreams. It was for me, until I'd eaten mine and wished I'd bought a spare. Still, life's full of disappointments. I'm just going to have to make it more of an event next year I think. Anyway, exciting news on the Tony Hart Day front. I went on Tony's official website and apparently you can book him!! Wow! Now that would be cool! Also, he has an online gallery, and you can submit your pictures! Bonza!! So we're going to try and submit the winner of our competition in the hope it'll go up there! Fingers crossed!
I have overdosed on Maoams again. We bought loads for trick or treaters but were only visited by one, so now I'm duty bound to finish off the rest of the blessed pumpkin pail. Ouch. My gums hurt, but I can't stop eating them. Curses.

Scotch Egg Day - 1st November


I have decided to start a new 'day'. Along with my previous invention of Original Rod Hull Day - 3rd August, I am now proposing that the 1st of November be Scotch Egg Day. I tried my first one on Friday at our Halloween Party, and couldn't believe it! It was pretty good, so tomorrow we're all eating them at lunch time. Hefty is joining in at his office, but he's not convinced it will be as much fun. They don't have an instigator of all things random and unlikely there, I'm truly one of a kind it would seem. So, if anyone wants to join in, please do so!

On another note, I have now created Tony Hart Day, which will take place in December some time (haven't decided when yet), and will involve everyone in the office making a masterpiece for the 'Gallery' next to my desk. The winner will receive a grand prize. I intend to sculpt Morph and Chas characters out of plasticine, and do some other cool stuff that I also haven't yet thought of. I can't wait!!

iP - looking forward to tomorrow when my breath is going to smell of gas!

Flexo


I have decided to call my new car Flexo. It suits him, and you can't beat having a Futurama reference in a situation like this. Well I currently feel like shit. Our neighbours came round last night and I haven't stopped sneezing since!! They have cats you see, and I'm highly allergic, but it aint wearing off! So I have an uber sore nose and just want to go to bed. Then we decided to brave IKEA today, just in case they had anything we wanted. Surprisingly, they did, but then we were all evacuated!!! WTF? No idea why, but it meant we couldn't buy anything. Never mind, we bought plenty from Habitat yesterday, that'll put us on for a week. Hey, West Ham are one up against Blackburn at the mo. We SO need a win, but I'm not holding my breath. Oh I need to go to bed, I really do feel dreadful. I love cats, but damn them!!

Alas


Tis a great shame, but the skeleton gloves were far too small for my man hands. I suppose they are meant for kids, but I thought they'd have a bit of give. Surely some kids have man hands too? So in the end I bought some fangs for 49p. They'll do. Along with some Haribo halloween mix things, chocolate pumpkin lollipops, and Doritos for a nice savoury change. I posted my letter which cost 8.95!!! I don't have a pound sign on my Mac cos I got it from America but I mean 8 POUNDS 95 PENCE!!!! It's for that delivery before 9am thing though, so I guess it's worth it if I can pick up my car tomorrow. My Mum phoned me to say that I should pick it up next Wednesday (1st November) because otherwise they'll back-date the tax to the end of September, so next year I'll essentially lose a month's tax. And, when I have to get an MOT in 3 years I'll have to have it done a month early so I can get my new tax disc. It's all kind of annoying, but I reckon he's taxed it by now so I'm not sure what to do. I'm not THAT bothered, prolly cos this is the first time she's mentioned it so I've clearly lost out on all my other cars, but she only found out because someone told her when she bought her Mini, so now she knows ALL about it. I might ring em, but I've worked so hard to get it done for Friday that I can't be arsed. I'm insured now, I'd have to ring my insurance company again and sort that out, what a faff. My insurance isn't due to till March anyway so it's going to be faffy for me whatever I do so I might just leave it. Might ask him about it tomorrow though, see what he says.
I'm hungry, some food and a cup of tea might be in order. Though I was going to do some house work cos our new table and chairs are coming next Friday. Very exciting! Got 20% off with a voucher in some random magazine I got free through the door. And, because we saved over 200 squids, we can then go and stock up on other Habitat goodies with the cash we've saved!! Yay! How I love Habitat, and filling my house with it :0) So that's all good. Not much on this weekend thankfully, we can do as little as poss, bliss. Ooh eck, my stomach is rumbling to kingdom come, I'd best get some fodder. Ciao for now peeps, keep on keepin on. And all that.

The genius of Ford

Well, Ford has surpassed himself, and totally made up for becoming a maths teacher (no offence dude, but it's not a position stacked with credibility). He has constructed a Star Wars Lego Chess Set!!! It's totally awesome and I now want one! Alas, the pics he sent me are huge and kind of blurry, so I need a better one to put on here, which I shall chase him for. But it's worth waiting for. I took today off to look after my friend but she's still in hospital cos her blood pressure dropped beyond the realms of belief. I feel sick as a dog myself, so we're not doing too well really. I'm going to go out in a minute though to post off my car gubbins, and buy some Halloween stuff for the party we're having at work tomorrow. Bit more conventional than Rod Hull Day or Rainbow Day, but it had to be done. I'm going to get some skeleton gloves that I saw in the co-op for 2 English punds. And some other gubbins, maybe fangs, but I don't want to over-do it. Usually I ALWAYS over-do it, but on this occasion, I think less is more, at a time of year when everyone else is going to over-do it. When I return I shall inform you of my wares.

Blue leg


My friend had her op today, it seems to have gone well, she was emailing me 20 minutes after she'd woken up! What a techno fiend!!! She might have a blue leg for a while because of the dye, which is rather exciting. She could be in an Intel advert if she wanted to! Anyways, seeing her tomorrow all day so hopefully all will be well. Not sure if I'm going to get this car on Friday though, the loan company are being random. It's all rather annoying!!! But hey, it's not the end of the world if I get it on Monday. Especially not if the weather continues like this, it's horrendous!!!! Absolutely miserable and depressing. And cold. I might go to bed. And eat Chinese. Mmmmmmmm....

Throw life at it


I am returned. Shameful I know, but my absence was necessary, if not intentional. First off, it's been a tricky couple of weeks cos my best friend was diagnosed with skin cancer. Consequently, I have been spending my evenings trying to make her feel better and ease her worries - not that easy!! But we're making progress and are all feeling very positive. She's having an operation on Wednesday to remove as much of the dreaded lurgey as possible, and, all being well, it might be the only op she needs providing it hasn't spread too far. Then, I was referred to a specialist because I might have an exciting ailment called endometriosis, which could make me infertile!! And let's not even get on to the subject of West Ham and their apalling series of losses recently. Pards reckons we're playing well so it's encouraging. Hmm, not that encouraging Alan, this is how we ended up getting relegated a couple of years ago......
Anyhoo, in light of all this tragedy (my niece was also hospitalized but is thankfully okay now), Hefty and I have decided to buy a new car. He wants a Lexus, I'm too scared to drive one in case I prang it or worse! So I've made the executive decision to let him get an IS200 when he's learned to drive, and in the meantime, I'm going to get me a sporty Suzuki Swift. I'm loving Suzuki as (so far, touch wood) their customer service is second to none!!! And I like the Swift, cos it's pretty cool and has won loads of awards. Plus it's got loads of cool stuff in it. 6 CD player thingy, keyless driving/door opening, air con, alloys, seats that go up and down as well as backwards and forwards, and the best boot in the world! Seriously, it's big as it is, then you can move the seats back and sort of fold them over each other to make this HUGE chasm of a boot that you could fit a lot of stuff in! Can't think of a big thing that I'm likely to put in there at the mo, but I will do! It'll be good for when we go to Costco at least, cos we always come back with shit-loads of stuff from there. I'm waiting to hear from the loan company and if they do a Del Monte, I'm going ahead!! Thinking of getting it in Galactic Grey, cos it's a trick colour, and has the obvious Battlestar association. This has made me wonder what to call the new addition to the family Pandah. Aollo is my fave character from BSG, but I have already named SuperSaz's car Captain Apollo, because it's a Polo. See what I did there? And Starbuck is out cos people will think it's coffee-related rather than sci-fi. Adama just sounds wrong, and as good as Boomer could be, she WAS a Cylon, albeit a good one. So I was thinking Bender, as it's sort of the same colour, but I'm not sure. I'm sure something will come to me, hopefully along with a loan approval.
Tomorrow I'm going to a Christening. I will know about 5 people out of the 40 going, and that includes the parents and baby. But it's cool, Hefty and I can raid the buffet table, which is sure to be a good one. Oooh, did anyone watch Man to Man with Dean Learner? Inspired, finally something decent to watch on a Friday night. Apart from QI which is also spanky fab. So that's been my life for the past couple of weeks. Nothing too exciting to report (sorry Pawpads), but sometimes that's just the way of things. I'll try and regulate me blogs from now on, but I'm still trying to help my friend, and as she lives opposite me, there'll be looking after to do.

Be seeing you.

Oops

I know, I haven't blogged for aaages. I'm sorry, I'm a bad Pandah :0( It's just been very busy, hectic etc. so I simply haven't had time. I apologise. I'm not going to blog now either, not in a lengthy way cos I want to go to bed, so I'm sorry AGAIN. But I will, at some point, I promise.

Madness


Today is so random, it may as well be a Terry Gilliam film. I was sat in bed drinking fresh coffee and reading papers until 12pm. During the course of this session I learned about Deb balls, twins, women who eat every meal of the day in a restaurant, Chanel Sublimage cream and an Australian woman called Lorelei who likes to wear table cloths. Now, I am sat in our beloved Mac Suite wearing a Superman cape, because it's a tad chilly and I'm too lazy to go all the way up to floor three for a top. It was the only thing I could find in here to wear. It was given to me by a lovely Danish lady at work called Lotte, who got loads of free Superman goodies and knew how much I liked him. She didn't want them so I ended up with stationery, a mug, some coasters and this cape. Tremendous. Sadly she left the company some months ago because they decided that someone else could do her job as well as their own instead. We haven't heard about any of the products she used to market since so clearly that was a stroke of genius. On Thursday we got a schedule emailed to us telling us when all the new Cravendale adverts were going to be on. There's two different ones apparently. Great. As if I give a shit. Everyday I resist the urge to email the Cravendale brand team to ask them if they don't think it's a little freaky that cows want their own milk back because they want to drink it themselves. I wouldn't want to drink my own milk. Plus those 'strawberry' cow adverts they put on were akin to some kind of messed up Evil Dead/Omen type film. No, they don't look like strawberries they look like they've escaped a Hammer Horror-esque slaughterhouse where they revelled in rolling about in the blood of their brethren. And don't get me started on the Anchor adverts. What a waste getting Stephen Fry and Tony Robinson to lend their voices to a couple of cartoon bovines so innovatively called 'Cow' and 'Moo.' These people get paid to roll out this crap. Still, I guess they top that highly irritating Frosties advert by miles. Or the Sheila's Wheels one. Or that GHASTLY Picture Loans one where the man so casually checks with his wife that it is in fact 25 grand that they want to borrow. I know I often decide I need a loan and then think, how much did I want again? Before discussing football with a total stranger. But then, the people at Picture are "so easy to talk to."
On Wednesday, we went to see Clerks II, which was a triumph. I knew it was going to be good before we even went in, when the guy who tore off our tickets said "Screen 8 for Clarks Eleven." Bless him and his lack of knowledge about Kevin Smith. Mind you, noone at work had heard of it either, bunch of un-cultured swines. It's people like that who are responsible for programmes like 'Robin Hood' being made. Thank god for the impending return of Futurama. My sanity is in need of saving. By a robot and a pizza delivery boy. Told you. Random.

Grrr

Well finally I have managed to get back on here! This is starting to annoy me!! Have been trying to blog since last Friday but no, Blogger decided otherwise. I'm still convinced it's a Mac attack >:0( What pissed me off more though was one of my 'friends' saying, "You can get Windows stuff for Macs now you know, Office, IE and all that, maybe that will help." Er no!!! If I wanted Windows I wouldn't have a Mac, it's crap!! It's not even the PC I object to, as Linux is a triumph on one, it's Windows. I'm just ranting now, I'm not going to have a PC/Mac debate with myself, it's hard enough trying to avoid them with other people. Especially the ones who continue to send 'WMV' files with a "Watch this it's hilarious!" comment in the subject box. Anyway, I digress, basically I can't get on to it from work either, where unfortunately, Windows is everywhere. So that doesn't really prove my Mac attack point. Oh god. Confusion abound, this is all too random. I'm off whilst I'm still sane. Hopefully I can get on again soon when I have something to say that makes sense. As if that'll happen.

Warning, this post contains information of a sensitive nature

Today was interesting. Went to the doctors for some quite minor medication query, and I had to see a Nurse Practitioner as all the doctors' were booked. NPs are pretty much the same as doctors apparently, but not quite as qualified, and they probably earn a lot less. Anyways, she was very nice, but because I only recently registered and I hadn't had a routine check-up, she asked if I'd do one then. No problem, all was well, weight, height, do you smoke, all that kind of thing. Then she wanted to do some 'feminine' checks. What the hell I thought, the older one gets, the more used to doctors and nurses poking about in your bits one gets (it has just occurred to me how many men read my blog and are currently thinking, NO, I can't read this, I don't want to know! Fine, you were warned initially). I wouldn't normally divulge this kind of info without any good reason, but my good reason is that it was a comedy moment, and it would be selfish not to share. The first thing she said was "I'll pull the curtain round you, but shall I close the window?' I looked at the window, it was slightly ajar. "Is it very draughty on the examination bed?" I naively enquired. "Not at all," said she, "It's just in case you thought anyone was going to look or jump in." Look? Jump in? This disturbed me. "Does it happen a lot?" I asked, "Oh no," she laughed. What I probably should have said was, "Has this happened before? How many times?" because once I'd laid down I started to think how her response didn't necessarily mean that just because it hadn't happened for a couple of weeks, it wasn't going to happen today. So she was getting on with whatever it was she was doing, and then she said "I'm just going to insert the speculum." This, for those of you not in the know is a metal device that looks like a sort of gun, and is used for a more widescreen picture of your....ahem. Well, I've had this done before so I wasn't particularly bothered, but boy was she aggressive. She jabbed it in, kept twisting it around, and all I could do was lie there and think "Is this what having sex with Bender would be like?' Clearly my two days watching Futurama had not been in vain. I kept squirming due to her violent wielding of this evil instrument, and she said "Goodness love, keep still, you're nearly off the edge of the bed." "Well I'm just not used to this," I whimpered. "No, I don't suppose you are," she said. Don't suppose? What did she have to doubt? Does she think I do this all the time for fun? Maybe it's common in that neck of the woods for people to bring their own. A bit like when you go ice skating or bowling. There's always someone who has 'brought their own.' Anyway, it was finally over, but I was so conscious of keeping my eye on the window that I put my jeans on backwards, which then made me think of 'Spaceballs', where the president gets beamed somewhere and ends up with half his body the other way round. He grabs his arse and says "Why didn't anyone tell me my ass was this big?" This in turn made me laugh, so I then had to pretend I was coughing, as I didn't want her to think I was deranged. Anyways, she wrote me a prescription for the reason I'd gone in the first place, and off I went, feeling violated and amused. There's not many days when you feel like that, now you see why I had to share it. When I got home, my Sainsbury's order arrived, and the delivery man proudly told me how everything was exactly how I'd ordered it, no substitutions or anything. So then I felt surprised. Violated, amused, surprised. Interesting. I should do this more often.

There can be only one


I can't believe it's Tuesday evening already, this week seems to be going a lot quicker than last. We did indeed go for a walk on Saturday, through the big field behind our house, but we had to stop when we got to a footpath blocked by cows. Working in the dairy industry (and the company responsible for those evil cows that want their milk back), I know better than to a aggravate a bovine, so we turned back. It's not that they're aggressive, but they can crush you without realising, never good. On Sunday we went to this shoppingy place with a Habitat and Heals, which was pretty good, but we didn't see anything we wanted to purchase. We were ripped off royally in the cafe thing there though, they charged £18.35 for two sandwiches and a couple of pomegrenate juices!!! It's not often I think to myself, 'It's cheaper in Starbucks.' It was nice, but still. Yesterday, I went to see my highly entertaining niece, and was set upon by the hounds as soon as I got in. I say hounds, they're tiny little white Maltese lap dog thingys. They're lovely and cute, but rather excitable, so I now have a huge claw mark running down the top of my chest. That'll teach me to wear a low cut trendy top. I look like some kind of fetishist. Or S&M superstar. Then Biz kept dropping books on my feet, so now I can't wear any nice shoes until the bruising has gone. Today I went to see my immortal Grandfather. The man has had four heart attacks, three strokes and a hip replacement. You wouldn't know to look at him, I have a feeling he's secretly a MacLeod. He'll outlive us all, he doesn't even lose conscienceness whilst all these strokes and attacks are going on. I hope I'm as strong. Though obviously there can be only one, so I'll have to cut his head off at some point. I'll leave it a bit, I haven't got much time for The Quickening at the moment. Though tomorrow, I am planning on having another Futurama Day. But I'm not giving that up for anything. His time will come, and all that. Tomorrow is cinema night, though I'm having the Will Ferrell Wiggins. I want to see the Ricky Bobby film, but I'm thinking of seeing something else because I have this Will Ferell Wiggins thing, where I start panicking that every film I see with him in is going to be as bad as Anchorman was. I might have to re-consider. Clerks 2 is on next week's agenda, cos we have to watch the first one again before we go, which doesn't leave much. Maybe that Queen film. It's supposed to be brilliant, but I'm not sure how much I want to see a film about the Queen. Still, a good film about Her Maj is better than a bad film about racing. Hmmm.

At last!!!


Well, hello again. I haven't been able to get on to my blog ALL week!!! It just wouldn't work!! But it wasn't a problem here cos everything else was working fine. Probably some kind of Anti-Mac attack, perhaps blogspot aren't fans. Punks. Anyhoo, it's working now! Have been off all this week which has been tremendous. It has mainly consisted of trips to Starbucks (or Starbuckets as my friend's son calls it, bless), shops (but not shopping as in clothes shopping, I HATE that), sleeping, lazing about, seeing some chums. I've also been ploughing through my Futurama boxed sets. There's something extremely satisfying about spending a whole day watching Futurama. It's all good really, and I'm still off next week, wahooo!!! Going to see my niece on Monday, looking forward to that, she always provides valid entertainment. Speaking of which, went to see The Black Dahlia on Wednesday afternoon. RUBBISH!! Completely in-valid entertainment. I think the most annoying thing (aside from Hilary Swank), was that it wasn't really even about the Black Dahlia murder, which is just bizarre! It seemed to be a sub-sub-plot to a load of other crap, which was nonsensical and stoopid. In short, don't bother. But this week, we're seeing the Ricky Bobby film, which I'm hoping will be super, and then it's Clerks 2 the week after, which surely can't fail!!! Right, I'm off, going for a walk or something. Can't remember, maybe it's lunch time? Who knows.

Regrets, I've had a few....


Today, I have mostly been regretting my rip-off hair. As good as it looks, I can't stop thinking about what I could have spent £77.50 on instead. The Howling Bells CD I've wanted for ages, the new Imogen Heap album, the Burn In Silence one, not just CDs though, new trainers, have needed some of those since about June. Tickets to Lacuna Coil in October, or the Russell Brand gig in November. Sigh. Damn my relentless quest for dark hair, it'll be blonde again in a week. I am such a fool.

Home Shopping


It's been another busy week, but thankfully I'm now off for a fortnight, yay!!! The weather has been rather dramatic of late, and on Thursday, the traffic was so bad it took us an hour to get to Sainsbury's. When we got there, it was closed due to flooding!! How random! It's a mahoossive store, how can they be so un-prepared for a bit of rain??!!! Consequently, we decided to have a go at online shopping. Much easier, arrived today, job's a good 'un. So we're just going to do that from now on. Yes it's lazy, but who cares, I AM lazy. Today, I went to get my hair done at the local hair dressers. Very nice inside, very nice people, very nice what they've done with my hair, very frikkin EXPENSIVE!!!!! £77.50 for a colour and cut!!! That'll teach me. I could have had some Vans for that, RUBBISH. Oh well, at least my hair looks kickin. Yesterday we had Rainbow Day at work, which was pretty cool, but nowhere near as big an event as Rod Hull Day. There was as much food, though a wider variety of E numbers this time, but because everyone has been so busy this week, and because we were STILL busy yesterday, it was rather understated. Nevertheless, it was good, and I got to eat Maoams. Tonight, Hefty and are going to eat chicken goujons with beans and mash for dinner. Not terribly gourmet, but we rather fancied it. Then we'll watch Jeepers Creepers whilst scoffing Butterkist. Mmmmmm. Tomorrow, his folks are coming up to see us, so really, we should have spent the day tidying. Wish I had too, could have saved my self £77.50.

Nil

Not one single close up of Nettles's talons last night. Tres disappointing. Severe lack of clues though, maybe next week he'll pick up picture frames and bits of paper like he usually does. It's always the same, when you're looking for it, it aint there.
