Just a Wonder....

2006-12-19T12:58:00.000Z

Do you ever just sit there doing something like watching tele, driving down a road, listening to a boring presentation and suddenly your mind is whisked away to your past and thoughts just suddenly appear in you mind? Please tell me its not just me. I think I have an ability to remember things in the past quite well. Dont get me wrong, I deal with things, and move on and I generally think I dont get that hung up about things, but everynow and again I suddenly have a thought about a person or situation and wonder how if the coin had flipped differently how things would be or if perhaps i had made a different decision at the time. These thoughts are usually about ex boyfreinds, freinds or life situations nothing in particular, but sometimes I just wonder. I think we have all just wondered about ex's and old freinds as that is partly what makes us people who care. You care enough to wonder. You are a person who has feelings. Now dont take that wrong, for I am married and 97% of the time happily married. There are times where I could happily kill him as he sleeps, but mostly I think I have choosen my husband well. He is hard working, tall, strong, good looking (well i think) caring and I do believe we have an excellant connection. He is someone who matters to me and someone who I want to share stuff with. Someone I know will be there and listen to me yet at the same time will being me back to earth and not let me be a pre-madonna. Oohps went of track there, anyway........
So every now and when your in a boring situation and your mind starts to drift off, i wonder what you'll wonder about? enjoy your thoughts, and each day make happy memories for you to wonder about tomorrow x

One Week to go.....

2006-12-18T11:12:00.000Z

Yes one week till Christmas Day. This time next week the big day will be here - CHRISTMAS DAY. and I for one am looking forward to it. There will be 7 of us for lunch and I looking forward to cooking for everyone and and having a lovely day. This year our Christmas day will start a little later then usual at 2pm but that is fine, means we can have a chilled morning and a bit of a lye in!
This week is kinda cool as its the week before christmas and we have a few nightsout planned and getting together with freinds, still a bit of last minute shopping, not to mention wrapping. My works Christmas meal on the 21st and Secret Santa - which I luurve every year. Then at some point must hit the supermarket to get a few last minute bits of shopping for the big day, but lucky I have bought the main bulk online and my waitrose delivery gets delivered between 9 - 10pm! one of the last delivery slots in our area - phew!
After the big day, we are not back at work till the 2nd January, so will have time to chill out, see freinds and be merry.

MERRY CHRISTMAS - ho ho ho

Hello, its me again

2006-12-14T15:59:00.000Z

Hello Bunny Corner readers, sorry I havent posted in a while, been busy doing this and that, you know how it goes at this time of year.

I am nearly done with the christmas shopping and started wrapping the gifts last night - by goodness, its takes ages to wrap dosent it?
We have been doing the old christmas drinks and making plans for christmas & new year. Its a nice time of year to catch up with friends but i do feel the pressure of having to do something and go out. Why is it we all feel like we SHOULD be going out on New years eve, like we have to party? dont get me wrong I love seeing my friends but I am not keen on new years eve at all. So not sure what we are doing, we wont be seeing the usual lot and have been invited to another freinds party so well see. maybe its age creeping in? that means I am not that bothered? oh well

I am Looking forward to christmas day where the family will be coming to us for christmas. There is only five of us so essentially its not a huge hassle to cook dinner. I like cooking and preparing the table etc. I try to do things a little bit differently to how my mum & dad do as it my house and I want to do christmas my way and make my stamp on it. for exmaple after the meal, I like to do tree pressents which my mum & dad never did. They were surprised last year and loved it. I guess its about making my own family christmas traditions. Something that when I have kids they will be able to hopefully like and remember.

We are having a silent fued with out ugly, thick neighbours. Mainly because they are rude, inconsiderate, thick & stupid! they seem to think its perfectly ok to park across the drop kurb to our driveway and making getting on and off our driveway near on imposible! marc seems to think it becuase they are thick that they havent got a clue how there parking affects us! I think its because they are wankers! the ugly sporty spice daughter i caught walking backwards and forwards across our driveway because she was taking a shortcut. when I asked her not to, she was very verbal and insulting to me. the next week a fence went up down the side of our drive, obviously she is so thick she needs it pointing out to her where her parents property ends and ours starts! Tis the season of goodwill to all men - huh!

Anyway apart from that all is hunky dorey, and Im smiling. Not sure if I have any new years resolutions, oh maybe just one - but Im not telling you! - ha ha oh and the usual, eat healthy, lose weight, save money blah blah

Good festive season to each and every one of you x x x

Doing Your bit for the Environment

2006-11-13T15:44:00.000Z

With the Environment featuring so heavily in the media the moment and general talk abuot the fast decline of our world and asking us all to stop and think before using endless amounts of energy. We have already started to make some minor changes in and around the house. for example, turing the tele's off at the wall instead of leaving them on standby. Using two instead of 3 lamps in the evening in the lounge, turning down the central heating (with out freezing).

Yes I do feel slightly guilty having just recently purchased a new car that fits into the sports car category and is such not very fuel economic or cheap to run! However, we will only have it for a year or two and we are trying to over compensate in other areas. we are making a huge effort to recycle, infact if the bin collection went to every two weeks it wouldnt bother us at all. infact today we didnt put our bin out as it wasnt even half full!. I also take reusable bags to the supermarket instead of using new bags every time I go. so we do try.

This year, as a mark to measure our little commitment to doing our bit for the environment. We have decided that we will NOT be putting up outiside christmas lights. We dont normally have the hideous giant santa's etc but about 3/4 sets of white twinkling lights and icles around the house. I think it looks very pretty and tasteful and I generally quiet like it all. But i do think we should perhaps make an extra effort to help the environment and make up for having the car and this is our little contribution.

I do think it would be good, if other people focused on the amount of energy that could be saved around christmas time instead of competitions to see whose house can look the brightest or hold the most decorations. I am not being a bar-humbug, I love Christmas and all the lights. I apprecaite I might sound like a hypocrite and its not my intention too. We are making a compromise in order to help where we can.

Merry Chritsmas x

What NOT to do with bright orange Soup!

2006-10-31T17:04:00.000Z

Drop it all over one's cream carpet!!!

Ouch - the mess, soup goes everywhere and creates one big awful orange mess - Big time!!!

There is was just going to go to work, carrying my lunch through the lounge to put in my bag and i dropped it! all I can say is thank goodness I have a VAX. i maged to clear up most of the mess asap and with some 1001 carpet cleaner manged to limit the damage. There is a slight mark so will have another go with the vax!

we've only had the carpet a few months - eek, thought for one moment this morning I was going to have to claim for another lounge carpet - eek! (note to self, if we had of gone for a wooden floor, then it would have easily wiped up) oh well, all is fun and games, just gotta keep smiling :o)

How much???

2006-10-26T16:08:00.000+01:00

So our Sony surround sound system one day suddenly decided to just stop working! it looked like a power problem, so we (Marc) did the obvious changed th efuse, check the plug socket etc. anyway, none of that worked. so we took the unit in to the Muppet Shop, oh sorry the Sony shop in basingstoke. We were told you can get a diagnosis of the fault for £35 and if we go ahead with the repair they will take it off the over all cost. Fair enough, we took in the big box and the head unit and was told they only needed the big box. Someone would call us in the week to let us know the fault. Ok................. so 3 weeks later we start calling them .....urm hello......oh yes, they repair centre said they need the head unit! - arghhhhhh how annoying, we had the head unit with us the day we took the blooming thing in! anyway, i take in the head unit, rant a little at the muppet in the shop.
A week later they called Marc to say they had diagnosed that fault and it would cost £590.00 to repair - do we want to go ahead??? what do you think? NO NO NO NO apparently a PS something board had gone and as they dont make that model anymore, they would have to make another one! for that price, we wont get it fixed and well buy another system from somewhere else . the thing wasnt cheap to start off with but i have to say being without it makes for dull film watching so I would be keen to get a new one asap!. i might get marc one for christmas!

Anyway, want to know why I think Basingstoke Sony Centre should be renames the Muppet Shop! here goes:- (this is just my observation and interpretation)

when you go in there on a saturday its normally has about 5 or 6 schoolboys doing there saturday. normally the are all standing around chatting and not paying a blind bit of notice to the customes. Erm hello, I want to spend £2000 on a tele !!! when you finally do get someones attention the schoolboys know diddly squat (you dont actaully expect them to know much apart from how much it costs, but then you can see that from the label on the thing anyway) then you have to wait again for one of two blokes who knows something to finish up!
its the same every single time I have gone in there. Also there are a Sony franchise and not a part of Sony, (so I understand) which means why bother?

I have said to Marc that when he decides what new system he wants (i dont have a clue about that sort of stuff - thats boys stuff) if he wants a Sony System, under NO circumstances are we going to the Muppets in town! I dont care how far we have to drive I REFUSE to give them any money, for shoddy school boy customer service!

Taking Peoples name in vain

2006-10-25T17:14:00.000+01:00

My name is L I S A - a fairly short in-offensive name to both say and write. It has two syalballs and is only 4 letters long.

So why is it some people call me Lis - are they two lazy to say the "A"?

Now there are some people - (close friends and family only) who I dont mind and actaully quite like them calling me Lis, Lissy, Lise etc i take that as a term of indearment. it means we know each other on a freindly basis and acceptance each other and therefore shorting the name is accpetable.

However, there are people who just choose to shorten my aleady short name because they just do! now is this me being over sensitive or is this them being rude by not calling me by proper name? I do take offence to near on strangers calling me Lis when they dont even know me!

I have some friends who's name is shorten by their choice or they choose the introuduce themselves using their short name - for example:-

Jessica - is jess /jessy/ jesse
Andrea is Andy /Andi
Richard is Rich
Simon is Si
Robert is Rob

see the pattern????? all these poeple call themselves by the short name there fore it is acceptable to call them that too!

I know a David who hates being called Dave, so therefore you call him David, otherwise that is just being rude!

I am LISA - as in LISA ..............

Now the dilema I have is a new person at work has started calling me Lis, which is really getting my back up! how do I tell him to please call me LISA. ? I dont want to upset him, yet at the same time I really think its rude of him not to call me by my proper name. I dont know this person, so why would he assume its ok? no one else in the office calls me Lis. I really dont want to make a fuss about this, but one day I could turn round and smack him with a large folder right across the face! this might seem a tad over the top, i admit. but how I do i gently ask him to start using my proper name! before my wild side takes hold of me!??

New Car

2006-10-23T14:13:00.000+01:00

So after a His n Her trip to the dentist on friday came the exciting bit of picking up or new car on the way home. As I drove our little Puma, I did feel a bit bad and a tad guilty as she has been a very good car to us and there was no reasonable reasont o get rid of it, just us wanting a more sporty car. We justifed it to ourselves that if we dont have a little sporty number now, it will a long time waiitng until we are in the right position to have it again. At the moment it is just the two of us and when little feet come along well get something more family orientated.

This is she, the new car beast. It positively growls along is very nice to drive! I've never had a car before with so many buttons and gizmos!
we are very happy with and just need to get use to it now.

As for the Puma, the garage said they are going to repair the damaged paint work were someone keyed it and do a couple of other minor dinks, give it a good clean and sell it on the forecourt. (no doubt for a huge profit) Whoever buys it will have a very good car and I hope they treat it with a bit of love.

On another note, 6 of my fav cd's are stuck in the cd changer which marc took our of the Puma and forgot to take the cd's out first. with no way of powering up the unit with it being hooked up my cd's are trapped! muppet! never mind, if I have to I will get a hammer and break into it - ha ha

Tuesday 17th October 2006

2006-10-17T11:56:00.000+01:00

We live in a 3 bed detached house in Basignstoke, Hampshire. I Woke up this morning at 6.25 to go the gym, but couldnt get out of bed so decided to sleep for an extra hour instead! Marc my husband got up and left the house for work in London by 5.45am. I finally got out of bed at 7.45, had a shower, got ready or work, fed the cats, got a few bits for lunch out of the fridge and left home at 8.40. I arrived at work at 8.53ish (only 8 mins late today!) i work very close to home, so really I should'nt be late at all.

There are only four of us in the office today, which isnt bad as its all people I like and we all get on very well. My job as an office manager is very varied and today I have been deciding on a new stationery supplier. I shall open some project files and update the company handbook on new policies and procedures. I have also had a look on the internet and gone onto my bank online, I am in the process of changing bank as my one have annoyed me for the last time with their incompetance! I also had a daily look at the BBC website to see whats going on in the world as well.

At lunchtime, I will pop into town to do a few bits of shopping. we are having a fancy dress vicars & tarts party at our house on saturday so I need to get a few bits for my costume. I am going as a naughty nun! its just good freinds we are having round and Im looking forward to it. A couple of freind will stay over and we shall jsut all chill out on the sunday.

I had a yoghurt for breakfast and I will have some fruit (pineapple, grapes, grapefruit) and another yoghurt for lunch. I have also eaten a low sugar chocolate bar and a few yoghurt covered almonds too! Not sure what I will have for dinner yet, marc is going to have last nights left over roast chicken and I will prob have something quick & easy. I have a appointment at the gym tonight for a body anaylsis. this will say how much body fat you have and where you carry it etc. I am about a stone more then I want to be,but i do work out 1 - 4 times a week so try to keep fit. hopefully this might incourage me to stop eating the junk food! I cannot eat anything before I go so will have to make sure I have eaten by 2.30 today.

After I get home from the gym, I will have a shower, watch tv for a bit then go to bed. My favourite tele show is on tonight - CSI on channel 5. i love it, so I will watch that as marc will prob be in bed by about 9ish as his job is phyiscal he gets very tired during the week.

We are getting all excited about our new car which we pick up on friday. its a sporty little Audi TT. we thought while it is just the two of us for the moment, we might as well have a bit of fun. we will start trying for kids in the next year. then we will have to get rid of it and get a family car intead.

The weather today is a bit cloudy but not to cold for October. We have only had to turn the radiator on once or twice so far, but will try to keep ot off for a bit longer.

Others things I have done today are:

I contacted our online organic vegetable delivery company to give them our details for payment as we will be getting a organic delivery every two weeks. Again we have changed supplier to try this new one.

I got an email from Cats Protection today asking me to help cover a stall for a chirstmas fayre in november. I like to help where I can and I shall help.

Spoken to a couple of freinds on email.

Blogging for history

2006-10-17T11:47:00.000+01:00

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6048392.stm
I cam across this articale on the BBC website. its quite interesting as the national trust is incouraging people to write in their blogs today and submit it to there site via a link so it can be recorded. the idea is to get a snapshot of daily life and today is a ordinary day. so in future times people will be able to look back and see what a typical day in the year 2006 is alll about!

I shall post my day above

It's my Birthday

It's my Birthday......

It's my Birthday......

Sometimes a moan pays off!

2006-10-11T10:19:00.000+01:00

After my post last week about how a simply trip into town turned into a nightmare and put me in a deep fowl and dark mood. I was delighted and very surprised yesterday when a gift turned up completley unexpected as an apology.

I had been into Barclays Bank to try and pay in a cheque made to me under my maiden name. I had my marriage certificate with me but in typical Barclays unhelful mannor, they refused to cash it as I have been married for over a year! (i know other banks will still bank cheques under maiden names) its just Barclays are so unhelpful over just about everything and I am sure go out of their way to annoy customers! so anyway, I have over the years been throughly unsatisfied with Barclays and their arrogant attitiude to customers and just how difficult they are to deal with. I promptly came back to office, let off some steam - literally and looked online for a new current account. I had a look on money saving expert and he reccommended an Alliance & Leicester account. after a bit more looking I decided to go with this option, I quickly popped online and within 10 minutues had opened an account with them. They look promising and after receieving the welcome pack I have high hopes.

So yes, anyway back to my surpirse package. When I got home yesterday there was a note form a courier saying they had left a parcel next door. I knew I wasnt expecting anything and checked with Marc and he wasnt either. So I went to collect it, still no clue and when I opened it up it was a hamper from Barclays Bank apologising. You see in my height of fury I had fired off an email to Barclays customer services explaining that after 20 years of banking with them I had now for the last time had enough and would be closing my account in the near future!

The hamper was a nice gesture and contained some lovely things, fudge, biscuits, cake, jam, chocolates tea, coffee etc but I'm afraid it's a bit like closing the gate after the horse has bolted, to little to late. all I wanted to do was pay money INTO an account. So I shall enjoy my little gift but alas I wont be a Barclays customer for long. Well as long as it takes for the switching of DD etc to go through! Just hope it goes smoothly (fingers crossed)

Still a nice surpirse at any rate!

This Country gets worse by the day...

2006-10-06T09:40:00.000+01:00

And it makes me sick, I really want to leave England more then ever. This is no longer the same country with the same values when I was born 30 years ago. We are the joke of Europe and as a white, middleclass, british person this goverment is really taking the mick out of us. I really am beginning to have enough of it!

Only see the news today!

Cold

2006-10-05T16:51:00.000+01:00

Greetings... I would like to official announce the start of autumn/winter 2006.

The warmth of summer has now well and truly disappeared and we are now firmly in the winter months? how do you know i hear you ask??? well I know becuase its turned cold and wet and I'm freezing pretty much 24/7. I really think the medditerrean blood in me beckons to be in a envirnoment of no less the 25 degress. Ideally I would like to either hibernate all winter long until April/May time or failing that move to the med for 6 months. This is a option I migh thave to start considering as long as I can be assured the mortagage is paid back home.

Oh and I have started sneezing, no doubt due to the cold ***shiver*** ***shiver***

I do like the beautiful autumnal days of clear sky, crispness in the air, the leaves on the trees turning and long country walks welcomed home by a bowl of hot homemade soup and crusty bread and a cuddle from a beloved. however, today is not one of those days, its just simply cold & wet. And for as much as I try, I cannot find anything positive to say, oh righ twell maybe except that the rain is going to fill the water reserve a little, but apart from that nothing else.

I am debating about to turn the heating on, and when talking to some people, some say they have already and others are a no. As of yet we havent turned the heating on and instead decided to put on a extra jumper! to be honest I am a little reluctant too, but no doubt it will only be a week or two tops, till it goes on.

So everyone, enjoy the coldness that is now upon us. Have a brolla handy (ideally keep it in your handbag) check the car tryes have enough tread for winter (that reminds me, must find a spare half a day of my life to sit in Micheledever tryes asap) and openly enjoy the wonderful British winter that awaits us

(saying all of that, the lure of the Carribbean is calling me..............)

Things I HATE - right at this moment

2006-10-03T15:32:00.000+01:00

BARCLAYS BANK
Indian call centres
Wanky college poof kids, standing right in the doorway, chating bollocks on a mobile phone
Sales assistants bulshite
Foreighn immigrants - THOSE THAT TAKE THIS COUNTRY FOR WHAT THEY CAN AND DO NOT GIVE BACK! not the nice people who work, pay taxes like the rest of us and join in our community! (that bit is for Richard, Beth & my Mum) :o)
Dole scroungers and people who refuse to work
Council house mentality - and people who thing they are hard done by under the "social" and its against their humans rights unless they have 48" plasma screen in their lounge. How else can they watch Trisha and all that other daytime tele, whilst they rest of us are bloody at work paying for them whilst our sodding taxes go up and up!
Kids - i blame them and their parents - somebody should take a grip on the goings on of this country. why are kids so rude, arrogant, nasty, vicious. Political correctness and human rights and all that other bulshite goverment policies have a hell of a lot to answer for.
Basingstoke - today more then usual it seemed to be full of "scum" people - hate them all, (normally I quite like the place)
did i mention Barclays Bank - I have now had enough and I am definitley going to change banks - wankers!!!!
Cold callers - go on, try your luck this afternoon, give me your sales talk rubbish, and the way I am feeling righ tnow I will reduce you to tears and make you want your mummy - anyone brave enough???

and breath, feel slightly better for blogging that out!

still, I am seriously thinking about leaving this sodding country, I am really beginning to hate it hear. its so full of political bulshite. We have no commitments here, no kids to tie us to basingstoke or this country. for once, I think My stupid ex boyfriend has a good idea about leaving this place and buggering of to Oz. not that that is where I would want to go at all, but somewhere in europe would be nice. might start giving it some thought

Glasses

2006-10-02T16:17:00.000+01:00

As some of my avid Blog reading fans might have guessed, I had abit of a early mid life crisis when i hit 30. infact I turn 31 next weekand it took me 10 months to get to the point where being 30 seemed cool. No dont worry I'm not about to go nuts again when I'm 31. However, I am (we all are) getting older and at the weekend, just to confirm this small act. The lovely lady at the opticians told me I need to wear glasses. Now this didnt come as a huge shock as I already wear them for driving but it seems I have something called astigmatism and i need glasses for just about everything expcept going out and getting pissed! - he he so when i watch tele, read a book, drive, work etc I need to wear glasses. basically any task that requires me to concentrate!

oh well, cant do anything about it, will look into getting some contacts when I get use to the idea. But on saturday i was really very upset and it bought a tear to my eyes - :o(

oh well, its not the worst thing that could happen, I have ordered some rather cool glasses, thought if i have to wear them, then I would at least have a designer pair. so in approz a weeks time, I will be wearing a pair of pink armani glasses. And before you think I am going to look like Ddame Edna Everage in pink glasses they dont look as bad as they seem and are infact rather funky!

here's looking at you kid!

Wicked Tune

Truly a most wicked tune that makes jsut want to dance and dance. If you havent heard it you are missing out. Get a copy, put it on and go to that place - Enjoy :o)

Ever want to read someone's mind???

2006-09-29T11:45:00.000+01:00

ok - so I wrote a nice long post and for some stupid reason it hasnt published it - most annoying indeed as I cant be bother to type it all up again!

so in brief if had the abililty to read others people's mind for just one day - would it be a good or bad thing?

Ho Hum

2006-09-28T12:40:00.000+01:00

really sums it up I suppose - the famous Pooh Bear used this expression quite a lot. Its not a cross or upset reaction, its more of a sigh reaction.

Ho hum literally means Ho hum.

It can be used in many different situations for a variety of things. Normally where you cannot change the result or outcome and you just have to deal with the sitaution in hand. Its not to say the sitaution bothers you or you want it to be any different then to what it actaully is, its more of a ok then, a Ho Hum.

The same goes for people. People can be a constant source of disappointment, a therefore provoke a Ho Hum reaction. You cant change what people say/do or dont say or do but you can change your reaction. (This I have learnt after spending a few hundred on hypnotherapy) so when people disappoint you, dont get upset or angry, this is life, just Ho Hum

There is alot to be said for theories behind Winnie the Pooh. I once saw a programme that investigated the theories and practices of many of the stories. There are some beliefs that the stories and charactors are based on real life sitautions and how one can deal with people with an open and general mind to perhaps become a nicer person. for example Winnie the Pooh, doesnt become angry or cross when Tigger jumps all over the place and says stupid things, he might get frustrated but he talks it out and they remain freinds. such is nice Philosophy onlife, maybe we should all try to adapt to some of Winnie the Poohs mannerisms.

Either that or you can try sticking your head in a Honey pot!!!

Nationality Sterotype?

2006-09-19T16:13:00.000+01:00

Having receently had a wonderful blissful week away in Greece, where the sjy was deep blue with not even one fluffy cloud and the temp was consistently 30 degress. It did occur to me that out of all that nationalities that were staying at the hotel, why is it that one nationality sticks out as being by far the rudest and most self absorbed by far. I am not going to mention which one as I dont want to upset UK foreign relations. However they are the ones who get up mega early to put towels on the sunbeds, they are the one whoose men folk choose to wear "attractive" speedo style swim wear (please - david beckham only just got away with wearing a pair this summer) why would a 40+ man with a huge round belly possible think this is a good look? they are also the ones who expect you to move out of the way and never so much as mutter a please or thank you!

why do they all promote themsleves so badly when abroad? is it that they are really like this? or do they just put on this act for the benefit of the british tourists? either way, all it does it make me think that they are rude and I have no intention of ever going to their stupid country to encounter more of them. As far as I can see the only good things that come from there are a couple of makes of cars!

Apart from that holiday is rapidly becoming a distant memory and could happily go again tomorrow! role on my next holiday

No - it's to early .......

2006-09-18T11:09:00.000+01:00

Please please, Christmas is on the 25th December, so why the need to start forcing it upon us gets earlier and earlier each year? it is truly ridculous. who needs to be eating mince pies in September! i was some what amased that my local sainsburys is selling mince pies already along with chocolate santas and some other festive stuff. Also, I went to my local garden centre on sunday to get some beddign plants and was greeted by the christmas trees and lights and decorations, please, for the love of chrsitmas, keep it speacial and reduce it to months Novemeber and December, not the four or five months starting in August/September.

Dont get me wrong i am not a humbug and I do enjoy christmas, but after having it around for four months by the time the actaul days comes, I want to take my tree down on Boxing day and after seeing so much of it! this year I have decided we are not going to decorate and put the lights up or the chritmas tree until the 2nd or 3rd weekend in December! Christmas is nice and a speacial time of year, why ant we keep it that way instead of commercially exploiting it? I suppose this is modern life!

Blogging

2006-08-31T16:27:00.000+01:00

As I hope by now, I may have one or possible two readers who follow my blog. I wanted to write about blogging. I saw a online chat about blogging and links to other blogs as this week is international blog week and I came across this one http://girlwithaonetrackmind.blogspot.com/ its a good read and not for the faint hearted. The interesting thing here is that her blog has been picked up by a couple of national newspaper and serialised. she has subsquently got a book deal out of it too. So blogging is not just useless rambling it could be a potential way to earning a Million!
so I wonder if my blog will get picked by someone (weirdo's need to not read, infact just blog off)

And now we are 30...

2006-08-29T11:20:00.000+01:00

Now the last of my old school freinds has turned 30, the realisation that we are all now 30-sometimes has hit home. After my intial blip and a few months of going slightly mental after turning 30, I am now cool with it. Maybe it was because I was one of the first (birthday in october) to turn 30 that it hit me hard but its all ok. Andy & Scott had a big party in saturday and we all got dressed up and helped welcome them to their 30's too. so here we are class of 1992 all in our 30's now. It great that I stilll know and see and like so many of my old school buddies. life moves on and time goes by but that fact we are all still freinds is amasing and I feel privilidged.

I have now decided that being 30 actually has some benefits that I might have not realised over being 20. Ok so we are all slightly older, abit fatter and for some wrinkles are already if not then they will be soon. But there are others things that being 30 has going for it. For instance, i think we all know who we are. We know our thoughts and feelings on issues and are proud to be oursleves. Pier pressure isnt like it was, having to fit it and do/say the right thing. 30 is about being an individual and expressing ourselves in ways that make us happy. Its ok to have hobbies/interests that others dont like because are all indiviuals and that makes us the people we are.
Money, is something we are generally have more of then when we were in our twenties. ok so most of us have mortgages and other financal commitments but generally we have enough spare to have a good time.
Kids, now only a couple of us have kids at the moment. but i guess between here and 40, more are going to po pup somewhere along the way. Give it another few years and we'll see how many of us are parents. No doubt life will totally change then. and by everyone I know who has kids says it is different but also better - we'll see
Love, not really sure how much this differs. what is life without having someone to love? and i know that all relationships have theirs ups and downs and sometimes we all need to work that little bit extra. I guess being in your 30's you stick at things where's maybe in your twenties you would have just given up? however things do and can get better, just work at it.

Anyway, goodbye twenties x x x

Hello 30's

My Old straw hat !

What to Blog about?

2006-08-23T11:15:00.000+01:00

After having a read of some other blogs, it occured to me that people blog about things they are passionate about or have a hobby about etc. some people blog about music, others sports stuff and some write about IT and church and all various bits. It then occured to me "What do I blog about" is my blog just full of useless ramblings, do I actually have anything to say or write about? What does my life consist of to blog about that might be in someway interest others to read about it? or should I not be concerned with what others want to read and just blog away to my hearts content about things that matter to me. this is after all MY BLOG!

so..................

I think today I am just going to ramble.......... if you dont like it then tough, stop reading now.

In two weeks time I go on holiday to Kos with Marc for a week. we are both really looking forward to this and both deserve a good relaxing holiday. its been a bit of a tough year but we are coming to the end and some time away together is just what we need. I love greece, the greek isles and anything greek. I am looking forward to sunbathing my the pool, reading my trashy novel(s) having a swim and then having a afternoon drinky by the pool. before getting reading for a nice meal out in the evening and spending some quality time with my husband. cant wait..........
Now if only I could find a blooming sunhat. I have been searching the shops for a simple straw style sunhat. Believe me when I say I have looked jsut about everywhere now. It would appear that because its mid-august, we must start buying wooly jumpers and coats and forget summer until next year! it really is most annoying. so it looks like I will have to take my beloved old hat, albeit a bit out of shape and wobbly, but still it keeps the sun off my face and maybe if I treat it to a new scarf around it, it might look quite shabby chic? (or it might just look shabby - who knows?)

If anyone reads this, you may recall that I wrote about a new car. we are still very much thinkig about what to do in this matter. We have now decided not to get a BMW, decided that we will lose to much money considering we are only talking about having it for a couple of years. so we have dedcided to posssible go for a Honda S200 - incase you dont know what that is, it the 2 seater sports car. We decided they keep their value better and we can run this along side the Puma and have both. after all although the puma dosent have alot of boot space and it is squashy in the back, it has considerable more space then a 2 seater. so that my frieinds is the current plan of action at the moment. although this could all change again the next time the wind blows from the south! Hopefully will start looking in the new year.

we really have not done anywhere as much mountain biking this year as we would have liked to. Last year we did loads and now the summer is fast fadign away our chances of biking are going consierable less and limited to weekends. Hopefully we will be able to get out on bank holiday monday and have a good ride. I am realyl looking forward to it and am quite happy to go whatever the weather. Infact it would actaully be quite fun in the rain i think - refreshing!!!

So with the las bank holiday weekend approaching before the long stretch of no extra days off before Christmas. I hope everyone will have a lovely weekend. We have a 30th B'day party to go to. The last of my school friends to turn 30, eek and in 2 months I am going to be 31!- double eek! so I'm looking forward to that, should be a good night.

And........ I did find something to blog about......ME! my life and things that matter to me. I have decided that a blog is really a channel of self expression and therefore you blog about what matters to you. dosent matter if noone finds it interesting or not, they have a choice in reading it, noone makes them. so to end that, I wont taylor my blog to fit in to sit under a umbrella of thought, it will remain as it has always been.... ramblings by me about my life and things that matter to me

Enjoy :o)

Dream Dinner Party

2006-08-08T13:02:00.000+01:00

Ok - so i have just been talking to a couple of guys in the office about if you could have a dream dinner party for 6 and invite anyone famous who would you invite? here is who I would invite and why....

Johnny Depp - obviously because he it the most sexist thing ever. I would also request that he dressed up as Capt. Jack Sparrow, or at least bought it with him ;o)

Posh Spice - becsuse she fasinates me, I would also ask her about hair, beauty & clothes tips.

Sean Connery - because older men are good entertainment, they have lots of stories to tell and its refreshing sometimes to here about life from an olders point of view. Plus he is someone what (for an older guy) and I would love to here about all the James Bond films he has been in

Joan Collins - how does she still look so good? again beauty tips and tips on husbands would be nice, how many has she had?

Peter Crouch - because during the owrld cup i did think there was something very sexy about him. i know I'll say no more.

6th Person - me! :o)

so who would be your dream dinner party guests and why?

no mushy replies please. this is purely fantasy, of course in reality a dinner party for 6 would consist of me, Marc, jjays, Andy & rob - and frequently does!

famous person waved at me

2006-08-04T15:24:00.000+01:00

he he

there i was sitting at my desk very busy as per usual ;o) when i looked up and a person getting out of their car. I noticed becuase this person was dressed very nicely is casusal clothes and drove a porshe! (how could a girly not notice hey?) anyway as he was getting his golf clubs out of his car, I did keep looking because I did wonder how he could fit them in his car, (911 porshe) anyway upon closer inspection i said to my collegues that looks like Ian Wright and they all said yes. so Sue & I decided we have to go to ladies room which is right by the front door and gues waht we bumped (literally) into Ian Wright. he was walking right in the middle of the corridoor so we have to move over and said oh excuse me - he he

Then when he was leaving we had a look out the window and took a piccy on the phone and he saw and waved at us and then i waved back - ha ha ha how girly and how girly pathetic i know but hey, so what???

makes a otherwise dull friday go quicker

Dedication to Johnny Depp

2006-08-02T09:17:00.000+01:00

After seeing Pirates of the carribean 2 twice, and still wanting to see it again AND i get the dvd the minute it's avaliable. I felt compelled to write in my blog just how flipping wonderful, fantastic, lovely, cool and very very sexy Johnny Depp is. I KNOW THIS VERY SAD OF ME.... but tough - don't care. I am writing it because a part of me is in love with him or with captain jack sparrow any way. I love the Pirates films and think they are brilliant, jack sparrow is somehow so super sexy that he makes you want to melt! - ohhhhh arghhhhh (pirate)

Anyway, brilliant film, already looking forward to the third one coming out.

Green Grass?

2006-07-28T10:26:00.000+01:00

As this summer so far has been quite wonderful with lots of lovely warm days where the temp has regulary been hitting over 30 degress. The gardens and general countryside and landscapes have been suffering from lack of water and a hosepipe ban. So the green grass isnt all that green more a dead brown colour.

As with everything is the grass always greener on thte other side of the fence? if your neightbours lawn is still green and yours is brown, could it be that they are in fact watering it in the middle of the night with hose pipe? so while you wish your lawn looked like theirs, you are infact really chuffed when they are the ones with a £1000 fine and your not! so the green grass really dosent matter. I guess we just have to be happy with what we have. Although green grass is appealing, the fact of the matter is if you had it you prob wouldnt really be happy and then you'd still want more an dit to be greener. So the morale, I guess although I am no expert. stick with your own grass, see the summer out, treat it with a bit of TLC and when the rain returns and it wil start to grow and you again will be happy with it and love it again. Let the others get on with their grass and you stick to yours. Its ok to look and admire other peoples grass and every now and again go over and see what its like. But for the whole stick with your own and you'll be better of all round. As in the pink floyd song, the grass was greener, but is wasnt really better!

Phew

2006-07-27T14:07:00.000+01:00

I went to write something in my blog only to discover that the front page had changed and i couldnt get in as I couldnt remeber my p/word or id. after a few moments of thinking I would never blog again I pressed the "help" button and hey presto! as if by magic I can blog again

When explaining my feelings of horror ot my so called freind Andrea, all she could do was laugh at me via msn. So to Andrea - huh I'm back in bitch face!

To buy or not to buy

2006-07-10T12:59:00.000+01:00

A pink Nissan Micra C-C?

is so cool, not only is it pink, its a convertable and its just cool. I have a test drive booked and if it feels nice to drive then look out......... I'll be the one in the pink car.

OR

do I just go for a black beamer???? they are ultra sexy and sophisticated. marc coudl drive it too (has already siad he wont drive the nissan) have wanted one for ages and decided they are nicer the the Audi and performance wise have more to offer.

so the question is do I go for a Pink Nissan Micra or a Black BMW?

cast your votes now by leaving a comment

Pink Nissan Micra %

Black BMW %
Ideally it should be a Black BMW M3 - just seen one second hand for £36k. So which one of you lovely people is going to lend me £20k to save me from driving around in a pink bubble? rememeber, i can give you all lifts in it ;o)

Andrea

2006-07-10T11:58:00.000+01:00

This Post is for Andrea............she hasnt got a appreciation for my blog and she said some very hurtful things about it, such as its boring and full of rubbish! These hurtful comments made me cry. Andrea is gernerally very nasty to me, infact she picks on me quite a bit and calls me all sorts of rude names.........

HA HA HA no infact Andrea is one of my bestest freinds and I love her very much indeed. she is a complete TART, and can normally be found clucthing a bottle on Pinio in one hand and plastic cock in the other - HA HA HA

So if your reading this balchy, do not ever say my blog is boring again! I think you are just jealous that I am clever enough to start one and infact you are even more jealous of me then ususal because not only am I more beautiful and sexy then you but I also have blog!

Now a song for Balchy

Give me a B
Give me a A
Give me a L
Give me a C
Give me a H
Give me a C

Answer: BALCHY !!!!! ha ha ha

Heatwave

2006-07-04T15:42:00.000+01:00

Were having a heatwave ! (sing it)

Hope everyone is enjoying the heat, its delicious so dont flipping moan about it all the time. its summer, it gets hot, these things happen, dont be so surprised.

I just love all the advice on the news and tips on how to stay cool. always useful things such as, stay inside, avoid midday sun, put suncream on etc etc. Do they really think we are that thick? oh ok, so some people are, because you do see the odd muppet walking around like a lobster but the majority of us are more careful.

Here is my TOP TIP for those who lke to moan about the heat...........

Go to Iceland (the shop) go to the freezer bit, climb into the freezer, (you can choose which one, but suggest the one with theice lollies etc might be more interesting as you can eat them, unless you like to eat frozen peas) and sit there in the freezer in iceland, until your cool enough to climb out and stop moaning - or until a iceland secuirty guard throws you out. Te he he

I guess it's the Mediterranean blood in me, but I need the heat -bring it on...........

Emmerdale

2006-07-04T15:41:00.000+01:00

why has it changed time to 10.00pm??? was this due to the world cup? really hope it goes back to normally time of 7pm, very unsettling to ones evening routine.

get home - gym - get home - make tea & watch Emmerdale........

World Cup

2006-07-04T15:37:00.000+01:00

Oh well, we didnt get through never mind, it will be here again in another 4 years. Thought it ws really sweet when david Beckham cried after hurting his foot. Why did Rooney do that? and have to say for some bizarre reason one of Englands most sexy players is Mr Crouch! dont ask me why, but there is something about him I quite like :o)

Twas fun whilst it lasted and im not normally a footy fan but there is something cool about seeing your country playing.

cue to all the muppets who area still driving around with flags plastered all over the place - take them down now.......

Update

2006-06-22T11:22:00.000+01:00

Ok its been a few weeks since I updated my blog but after having alittle chat about it with some friends thought I had better update it incase they read it........ so.................

IOW
went to Iisle of Wight with Marc, Rob & Andy and the Jjays for 6 days, had a really fab time. The boys particulary liked the Lavender farm and Blackgang chine and for Jason the cable car at the Needles. he he We had a bbq and burnt two tree stumps. I found out all my friends are crap at playing cards and get upset at the smallest bit of cheating! - boring, how's a girl suppose to win? Also we were jammy enough to have the best weather and meant we could sit in the Crab Inn in Shanklin villiage, try to eat a Huge Ploughmans and watch the world go by in the sun - bliss - same time next year???

Photos will at some point follow when I can be bothered to downloads the piccies and put them on flickr.

Football
The world cup has started. Now I'm not normally into football but there is something about watching England Play in the World Cup that's get you into it. So far we are through the first round. next game on sunday 25th - good luck. Owen is out and that is a bit of a concern ( like I know - hehe) It's funny but watching the last game, I think Crouch is somewaht attractive !!! forget Beckham.
The footballers Wives & girlfreinds are all looking good and gracing the glossys. Although Posh does look a bit too skinny if you ask me. (jealousy speaking of course)

Other stuff
Entered the Basingstoke Big Wheel on Sunday 16th july. Cycling 24 miles in aid of St Michael Hospice. I had better start getting in some serious training. Compared to last year havetn done that much on the road cycling but have been doing more running and think that is helping to strenghten my legs! lets hope so.
Been drinking lots of wine with Balchy - he he, whoops there goes a bottle of Pinio....

Carpet Fitted

2006-05-30T13:52:00.000+01:00

Our new carpet got fitted last friday. It's so soft and wonderful, even the cats paw prints leave marks in it - it's that soft. Only trouble now is it makes our bedroom carpet look poo so we are going to replace that too. Which also means giving our bedroom as make over with new wardrobes. Its good and have since we havent really done anything to our bedroom since we moved in, it could do with a lick of paint and bit of TLC.

As for the carpet, its shoes off and lots of care so not to drop anything on it. So far the cats havent tried to scratch it and are busy using their re-vamped scratch post made up using the old carpet. As long as it stays that way. We also have enough left over carpet to do the downstairs toilet as well - double bonus.

All is well that ends well

The Da Vinci Code

2006-05-30T13:44:00.000+01:00

Went to see this over the weekend and thought it throughly entertaining. I had started reading the book and got about 3/4 through it and then went to see the film. The was in parts VERY different to the book and missed out loads, so when I got home I quickly skipped through the last quarter of the book to see if the film had missed much out and again found it had.

I like the story and think it is hidden of conspirously theries etc. I am not going to get involved in saying it is right or wrong on based on be-littleing the church etc. It dosent mean that much to me. however as stories go it is entertaining and has an interesting theory behind. I personally wont be going out to search for the Holy Grail. I'm quite happy where it is thanks very much.

Also since it has been about 2 years since I last went to the cinema, I was quite pleased at how quick and easy it all is. I rememeber having to queue for what seems like a life time years ago when we all use to go the Warna cinema. this was easy book tickets over the phone, go there collect them and watch film. Although next time I will order them online as we were very close to the front. I have to go soon and see the Pirates of the Carribean 2 film. That I really cant wait for - bring on them there Pirates - oh er!!!!

Where

2006-05-22T15:02:00.000+01:00

IS THE SUNSHINE???

it's May very nearly June and I would like the weather to please please start behaving like Summer :o)

Paintballing

2006-05-22T14:55:00.000+01:00

on Satuday, 13 of us went paintballing to help raise funds for Cats Protection.

The day started early and was a bit damp but we were lucky and the rain held out on us - just. We were spilt into two teams and were teamed up with some squaddies on a stag night! After the safety talks and kitting up the games began and the fun started. We only played to lunchtime and the calling for the pub took over.

I managed a fantastic shot and and crept up and shot someone in the bum from about 15 foot away. Only to find out after he was shouting in pain that I was on the same team as him - whoops Ha Ha. The purple team (my tea) lost every single game to the yellows - wonder why? the squaddies took it all a tiny bit to seriously but all in all were ok, just a few that were bit loud and overbearing. But that didnt stop us having a good time.

In the evening party back at out house and more merriment, infact some of us never actually made it to bed on the saturday!

It was nice to see everyone and i think everyone had a good time. Already saying that we should oragnise another event - maybe go karting next time!

Cake Business

2006-05-09T09:25:00.000+01:00

One of my passions is Cake - no surprise there, but I like to make cakes as well as eat them!

I have been making cakes and decorating them for a little while now and the more I do the more I enjoy it and want to learn more. I have recently been to Squires International Cake School and learnt lots of new skills that I am keen to put into use.

I have a long term plan that I would like to set up a small business from home and decorate cakes. I have been looking into the setting up a business idea and waht is involved. Because it is food there are various things I need to consider, I need to get round environmental health to inspect my kitchen, register as a business, take out insurance etc etc. this all is fine and necessary but to begin with I am just going to do this in edition to my full time job. However I cannot advertise or promote myself without doing all these first. I was initially planning to start next year but we'll see. For the moment I am just keen tom make as many cakes as possible for freinds and family to help get more expierence.

So if you want any cakes just see me :o)

David Blaine - Complete nut???

2006-05-03T11:37:00.000+01:00

With David Blaine going into a glass water filled sphere in New York for a week in another crazy media attention stunt. One cant help but ask why??? and is he a complete nutcase??? just seems so weird that all his stunts are so over the top and dangerous to himself that why would anyone in their right mind put themselves through it?

As I read an article about how he is being feed through tubes and has air pumped to him, and how his system is "empty" so he wont need to toilet etc, I could help but wonder about his skin? You all know that if you stay in the bath too long your skin goes all wrinkley like a prune, well imagine what his will be like after a week? - urghhhhhh surely it will drop off when he comes out? again urghhhhhh dont even want to give that one to much thought.

Or is he a very clever person who can trick the whole world into thinking he is doing the crazy stunts. Everyone knows that magic is just really very clever tricky, is David Blaine really an excellant magician and his stucnts are so clever that we really dont understand them? Maybe, but I think I go with the Nut camp and see what happens if and when he makes it out of this ok!

Carpet

2006-05-02T10:48:00.000+01:00

We have had a minor domestic diaster, the washing machine exploded and approx 2 cms of water flooded the kitchen and managed to soak through to the dining room. Consequentley the dining room carpet got completley wet through. Called Direct Line our home insurance company and they advised that instead of cleaning up the mess to leave it, so the insurance assesor can view the damage first hand! seems weird not to clear up a mess but hey ho that is what they said. So we have a lovelt putgent smell coming up from the damp carpet that is now happily mouldy away. Its a decent quality deep pil carpet and as such is not easily leaving a water mark as a short pile one would do.
My biggest concern is that the insurance assersor guy is going to come round and say"oh it not that bad", pay to have it professional cleaned and we will end up with a sub standard carpet.! not sure how these things works and how easy / hard it is to deal with insurance companies. so well see, we still have another two days till he comes round so hopefully if it starts going mouldy he will have to say a replacement is due. I wont get too excited and start choosing new carpet or wooden flooring just yet!

To be updated after his visit.

Oh and the washing machine got fixed very easily and cheapily. Thank goodness. £25 call out fee, the guy came, reconnected the main hose inside the machine, cleaned out a bit of limescale and were on our way again - whoo hoo
And apparently Calagon is a waste of money because it dosent stop the limescale when the machine does the fresh water rinse at the end!

*** Updated ***

Well the nice man from Allied Carpet came and he gave us a new carpet yeahhhhhhh, no quibble about it and the most fantastic thing is that because the carpet on the stairs and landing is the same and it all flows we are getting that all done too! FANTASTIC, so we are delighted. We go to the shop at the weekend and choose our new carpet/floor.
I have to say they sound very flexiable, we can add to the amoutn of money the give us, which is based on a new for old. And since our carpet is long pile and fairley decent we should be able to get a decent amount of money per sq foot. However since the real wood is a proberly a bit more, if we want to add to it we can. What we will prob do is have wood in the lounge and dining room and then go for a more modern creamed textured carpet up the stairs and landing. alll feel so excited now. We will have to pay the excess on our home insurance policy which is £50 but that's nothing really considering how much it would cost. Well since we have always paid our home insurance and pay the extra for the "accidental" cover and this was a reall accident I feel justified in making a claim.

Got It!!!

2006-04-20T16:54:00.000+01:00

I have managed to get hold of th eright version of Reflex "Need to feel loved" song. and its totally brilliant.

After discovering I already had it on CD after I had ordered another cd, I was somewhat gutted to find out that all three versions I had was the not the one I wanted. The Seb Fontaine and Jay P version was poo, the other was a chilled out version and albit very nice to chat over while sipping a chilled chablis and talking to freinds, its a bit diffcult to go mental over and dance your head off to it. So I ordered the single version and it had 6 remixes on it and thank goodness one of them is the one i wanted. So i have promptly downloaded it to the Ipod, stuck the CD in my car and away i go, tune banging away. It really is excellant and makes you feel lighthearted and you can do the impossible - ok so that might be a tad of over the top - but it's wicked tune

Oh yes the version I wanted was the 12" club remix

LB in the City

2006-04-19T15:55:00.000+01:00

I went up to London today for a MODAF seminar which we were putting on, for various customers. My role was to carry out registration and be onhand for any administration duties required. I half expected to wit there bored out my head and they waffled on and on about stuff I have no idea about. As the day began I grabbed a copy of the course material and much to my astonisment I actually enjoyed the subject matter very much. I found it interesting and was picking up on terminology that gets floating round the office a far bit but I was understanding what i tall meant. So watch this space, there is still time for me to re-train and become a developer as such! I did mention this to Cathie & Robbie and they agreed that given I was interested I could indeed be their next brainchild and be re-trained. At this rate i'll be on project work in two weeks time! :o)

In all seriousness, I could do with a chance and total change in career might just be a good thing. I like what I do but really need to be challenged more. To use my skills and my head more rather then just MSN freinds all day and internet shopping!!! I did mention during my appraisal that I want to get more involved and enjoy project work. However, I have said for the past 5 years that I have the potential to do more and nothing has ever realyl be done about it. The office move was great becuase I was in charge and in control of the whole project. The bad side is that unless we move offices every six months, I am unlikely to have such a meaty project again for quite some time. Maybe I should listen to a couple of freinds who have said that it really is about time that I got myself another job - ho hum, well see.

Going to London was easy. I got the train from Micheldever station instead of Basingstoke. This really is alot easier then going across town, parking up and joining the hurds of people at basingstoke. It proberly quicker to drive to Micheldever, park up for free and get the train there. I had a strok of luck on the way back and when I got to the station my return train was only a 4 min wait and on I hopped. I have since learned that trains to Micheldever are about 1 an hour, so this really was lucky.

I didnt do any shopping whilst I was there and still have the Tiffany voucher to use. I will get round to one day.

London is Ok, but really not my cup of tea.

Longggggg Weekend

2006-04-18T09:57:00.000+01:00

:o) are great! why cant we have more of them? if would be nice if someone decided to tag a friday on the may or august bank holiday weekends to give you a whole four days off. That way you can do a lot more and have more time to relax or recover (depending - he he)

Although I didnt really do many of the jobs I had planned to do over the weekend, most due to late nights and hangovers I did get a few done. At the moment life is about having fun and the if the garden fences get painted a week or two later then origianlly planned then so be it - they are not going anywhere are they? Surely one should just enjoy the moment and live a little or a lot ;o)

After speaking to a good freinds over the weekend, and him saying about having a life plan, I did wonder how many people do this? Is it a good thing to plan your whole life? what happens if you dont achieve what you set out to do by a certain age? have you let yourself down and do you react to it badly because you have failed? As much as I like planning parties and events and I am in general a very organised person, I havent written a life plan and dont feel the need too either. There are things I want in life but I am not going to put pressure on myself and have it written that by XX age I will have done this or that. On this particular subject I am going to be a free spirit and just see where the wind takes me and where I end up. At least this way you cant be disappointed for not having done anything but you can be pleased for the achievements you have done.

Crumpet Cat

2006-04-13T14:55:00.000+01:00

We have two cats - Crumpet & Schuey. Crumpet is soft and gentle and Schuey is more tempremental and has more passion so to speak!

About once a year, usually around autumn Crumpet gets a sort of allergy and starts ripping out her fur and had big bald spots which she scratches as look very sore. Because it has happened around autumn time the vet before has told us that it is harvest mite. Anyway she starting leaving chuncks of fur around the house and sure enough her coat is looking abit dull and a nasty sore bad spot as appeared. I wanted to take her to the vetst to get it checked out as it usually dosent happen at this time of year and on sunday she started limping on on front right paw. The limp has now gone but she just isnt looking to happy to me.

The vet said she has an allergy to something (couldnt say what) he gave her a steriod injection and she is now on anitbotics for a week and we have to wash the area and apply cream with a latex glove! All easier then said. I am a whose and cant just shove a pill down her throat. So I have to crush it up and hind it in her food. Trouble is Schuey normally butts in and finishes Crumpets food which means she gets the antibotics and not Crumps. I think I am going to get some catfood pate which Crumpet loves and try to disguise the crushed up pill in there.

Crumpet was very good going to the vets. We go to The Barn and I think they are briliant up there. I particulary like the like balck fluffy cat that belongs to one of the vets and sits on top of the counter. She/he looks at all the animals coming in and I sure says " its ok, the vets here are nice " to them! well I like to think so, either that or she is laughing at them!

Oh yes, and the day before i had half a chewed mouse dropped by my side of the bed at 3.30am from Crumpet - she was bringing me a present - delightful!

Frankie Wilde

2006-04-11T09:42:00.000+01:00

The amasing Legendary Ibiza DJ Frankie Wilde..... or not

Having watched the film "It's all gone Pete Tong" and being taken in to believe the character Frankie Wilde was a real person. The film done in a documentary style with accounts from real believable peeople about how Frankie was one of the top Ibiza DJ's having it all, only to be struck with a cruel blow of fate, going completley deaf at the peak of his career and then making a come back sitting on speakers to "feel" the bass and vibe and then mixing a perfect set, better then before he was deaf even. The idea now even seems ridiculous when you look at it written down but it quite believable in the film. I guess the fact that after his great come back he disappeared off the face of the earth forever - infact in hindsight should make you believe its not really a true story.

Having done a internet search on Frankie Wild, and finding no real pictures of him, only the person in the film and most of the Frankie Wilde sites are from the film all indicate that this is infact a great idea to put one past us. If what I have read is true, Frakie Wilde is really the real Legend Pete Tong, I guess hence the name of the film.

All in all, the film is entertaining, the music is excellant and picks you up and puts you on the beach in Ibiza/Greece, with the sun setting and the beats just taking you away to the next place of a higher level. The best song for me is just as the film ends and the titles start rolling, a track called - Reflekt feat. Delline Bass - Need To Feel Loved (Horizontal Mix) - its truly excellant and makes you feel good inside.

This film makes me feel the need for a holiday so badly. I need to feel the sun on me and to dance all night.

Right:- down to the travel agent for me i think........

Mindless or Malicious?

2006-04-04T10:31:00.000+01:00

So, both our car and the van have been keyed! is this just a bizarre coincident or has someone got it in for us?

The key mark on the car was discovered on Thursday and the mark on the van today. The van has been in the garage being repaired after someone went into the back of it and it was only picked up on saturday so the damage must have been done after then. The van always lives on the drive when it has work tools in it so that means that someone would have had to walk down our driveway to scratch it! the car gets parked in hte layby or drive, depending and so it was thought the car was damaged whilst parked in the layby.

The big question is why? who? why?
We are not aware of having upset anyone. one automatically thinks of someone in the street as it seems to much of a coincident that two vehicles from the same house could be damaged in such a way. We hardly speak to the neighbours let alone have a fewd with any of them. The only ones we speak to are Danielle & Mark but they are friends as well as neighbours. Just cant think of anyone that would want to do it. it might not be a neighbour, but then who want want to drive out of their way to key our cars? the whole thing is most bizarre - just cant think why?

Of course it could be a 1 in 100000 coincident. Marc's van gets driven to London everyday and he works on some dodgy council estates so it is possible that the damage could of happened there. The car however dosent really go much out of Basingstoke and immediate area so it seems more unlikely to happen but never the less still possible. Could it really be both vehicles were damaged in completley different circumstances? or is it more likely both were damaged whilst parked up at home? I know which situtaion I think? but just cant fathem why? I am completley at a loss.

Anyway both crimes have been reported to the police. It wont really do much, but might be worth reporting it incase they do pick up someone, but only if they are caught doing it to another car. The police suggested we ask any neighbours to see if they have had any damage, of course it migh tbe someone who is doing it against the whole road and we are not alone. So will ask around. In some ways i dont want anyone else to have their property damaged, but it would be be comforting to know that it wasnt just us and someone didnt have it in for us!

So after spending the weekend looking at shiny new audi A4 avant's, and deciding to go for one. I am slightly reluctant too at the moment. Although I was gutted that the puma got damaged, it does have some little dents and scracthes that we are going to get repaired so just took that on the chin. The van is a white van, I have no emotional tie to it, but Marc quite likes it, although it is purely a work vehicle and NOT for social purposes. However if a £20k audi got keyed, I would be beyond furious, if necessary I would park it in the lounge to protect it ! So maybe we should hold off our new purchase for the moment.

And if there is someone who has a problem with us - come talk to us, we would really like to discuss this situation with you........

Blogging is a serious matter

2006-04-03T16:26:00.000+01:00

I found this article on the BBC website with regrads to blogging

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4865540.stm

Apparantly Blogging is something this can be taken bery seriously and indeed writers or Bloggers are being acknowledged for their written work and creative master pieces. I think its rather nice that the cookeryBlogg came out on top. As something I like to do I was pleased that such a subject got people interested enough and has won an award.

Long may blogging and blogger continue

A nice Sunday Out

2006-04-03T12:20:00.000+01:00

I enjoyed a lovely Sunday with my friends Andy, Rob, JJays (julie & jason) and My Hubby Marc on sunday. We all met up for a rather imprompt Sunday lunch and then a trip to a couple of Antique houses then a drink or two down the pub. It was lovely to see everyone as it wasnt planned and really relaxing. Infact I had thought I'd spend the day painting but that was much more fun instead. Andy & Jubee are my bestest bestest mates and I love them both dearly. Each has indivdual qualities which I apprecaite and find some endearing about them.

I bought a lovely little pale PINK cake stand for my afternoon teas! Andy bought a lovely mirror and Ju bought a coat hook but alas couldnt find the dresser she wanted which was why we were there in the first place. I had'nt been to the pack house before and its really nice. full of lots of different antiques and some other funky new stuff too. There is a nice little coffee shop there which does really nice CAKES - yum yum so I think a return trip there soon.

Excellant Comment of the day came from Rob. As we were wondering round the PackHouse, turned to Marc and Said "this place is like an Alladdin's cave......full of shite" the way he said it was so funny that I just burst of laughing - ha ha ha He didnt mean it horrible or anything, its just I think they would have rather been down the pub!

Anyway nice sunday x x x

Turning Into a Geek?

2006-03-30T16:23:00.000+01:00

I am concerned that I might be turning into a Geek - albit a Pink one at that.

It suddenly occured to me that on my desk at work, I have my nice new (PINK) Ipod, which requires you to upload and download music & pictures & stuff. My PDA, which again you need to upload info to. My Mobile (PINK) ok not so complicated to use, but never the less an important method of communication. My laptop (not pink, although have tried on many occasions to ask for a pink one but for some reason they just keep ignoring me) an essential tool for business and of course social purposes. And lastly, this my Blog - which is PINK.

So when I sum this all up, am I getting more Geeky or has the world turned 21st century and everyone, even the non-geeky people are using technology because its the only way?

A question for you to ponder over your morning cornflakes i think.

Answers on a postcard.

(by the way nothing wrong with geeks, some are very lovely)

Jobs for Spring in the Garden

2006-03-30T10:12:00.000+01:00

Spring - The clocks have now gone forward and we are now official on british summer time - yeahhhhh. oh at least it would be yeah, if the weather was cooperating. Climate change is indeed moving our seasons around and the poor seasons dont really know whats going on. We should be seeing gardens full of lovely bright yellow daffodils and spring bulbs, however due to the cold start to the year the bulbs are still hibernating and waiting for the first warm rays of spring to fall on them and make them grow. Hopefully now the clocks are forward and we are nearlly in April, things will start moving on. I think everyone enjoys seeing the signs of spring around, it brings with it anticipation of the long warm sunny days that summer is going tobring withit just round the corner. So when our spring is delayed and the winter extented, i think it easy to see why some people can get upset and depressed at the end of winter.

On a related issue, I have some seeds that I bought that I would like to plant directly in the garden to make a summer herbacious border. The packet says to plant April time, but after seeing the weather report this morning for next week saying that the start of the week will be cold and expect frosts in the morning. EEK - poor seeds, they wont be able to grow in that condition. I think to play it safe I will sow them in trays in the conservatory and plant them out towards the end of April when hopefully it will feel more warm and sunny. Although this will mean more faffing around, as will have to climatise them before planting in the ground and making sure the cats dont trend all over them whilst they are growing indoors. I have recently bought a min greenhouse thing, so I might try leaving them out in that and seeing if that is enought to protect them. Although it is dishearting after going through the effort to sow them when they dont grow!

I really need to make some time over the coming weeks to get out into the garden. There are lots of jobs to do to make sure its looks nice for summer. As well as preparing the soil and cutting back some shrubs etc. I want to plant some new rose bushes and move some plants around as well as planting seeds. Garden fences need painting to but will have to wait to a relatively warm and sunny day. As the idea of standing outside in the cold for a day is not my idea of fun. The job is boring enough as it is but worth doing as i personally feel it makes the garden look all the better.

To me there is nothing quiet like sitting in your own garden during the height of summer when it all looks pretty and smells lovely, drinking a nice glass of chilled wine and relaxing. It makes all the hard work worth it and that is the biggest reward.

Stolen

2006-03-27T12:20:00.000+01:00

my hairbrush! it's gone...... it's been stolen, someone has broken into my house and stolen my hairbruish from my bedroom. It's shocking!

It was there on friday morning when I got up, had a shower and washed my hair and by the time i got home on friday night from work it had GONE!!! i have searched all over the bedroom and it's simply not there. I asked Marc if he had hidden it from me (he's not allowed to touch my stuff or my pillow) and he says he hasnt seen it. I have asked the cats and they just looked at me. so they only conclusion I can come to is that someone has broken into our house, managed to beat the alarm system, stolen my hairbrish and left the house. They took nothing else, just my hairbrush. How bizarre???

Maybe somebody want my DNA for something, or they are going to leave traces on my hair at a crime scene and fit me up? why would somebody want my hairbrush?

Whoever it is, its bloody annoying so give it back. I have looked all weekend and just cant find it. I am having to use my hand bag hairbrish which is not really on. so whoever or whatever you are give it back, because if i go and buy a new one this week then you put it back in room like it never disappeared I am going to be peed. So you have one chance give it back NOW!!! and I wont thump you!

Clocks going Forward

2006-03-27T11:16:00.000+01:00

is bloody stupid!

why? all to save a poxy hour in the daylight..............

They should stop it because all it does is make you feel like poo on the monday you have to go into work and pretend to be wide awake when it is infact an hour earlier then it should be!

I would quite happyily join any campaign to stop this rubbish happening every year and mucking around with our body clocks. it dosent prevent car accidents, infact it is more likely to make people have them when they drive to work half asleep the after the clocks go forward!

End of cold, wet, miserable, early, monday, moody morning rant!

Feeling a little Down?

2006-03-24T14:59:00.000Z

Just think F-it, and go shopping!

Clothes, shoes, handbags, belts, chocolate, make up perfume, plasma screens, fast cars

Hell why not!

Harry Potter - Goblet of Fire

2006-03-21T09:48:00.000Z

Having just seen this film now it has come out on DVD, I wanted to say how excellant I thought it was. This was my favourite book when I read it and the film in my opinion does not disappoint. I liked the way the charactors have evolved and thought the humor was excellant, even evil Prof Snape showed a mildy funny side. I think some of the funny bits were aimed at adults and hence some of it was quiet dark but all round the best out of the Harry Potter films. I even cried when Diggory got killed at the end!
This was much better then film 3 which was too dark and the director had moved the castle etc so it was all to different from the first & second.

Oh yeah, don't think I am a Harry Potter Geek or anything!

Getting More Techy

2006-03-16T11:38:00.000Z

Because I now have a nice new shiny Ipod Nano !

It's very tiny and it black but in my true fashion I have put a pink cover on it to make it look pretty!

So here goes with the techy stuff of downloading music to it and keeping track of it all. So far the software is useable but would help if it came with a proper instruction book because at the moment it mostly trial & error. Saying that I have managed to put a couple of CD's on to it so Im chuffed, just need to work out how to sort it all out so it's useable. Next work out how to put photos on it, but for some reason it seems to want to download everything all the photos and not just the ones I want it too! oh well, I'll get there.

So I can now go to the gym and look really cool with my Ipod - :o)

Cake

2006-03-15T14:36:00.000Z

Having read on another blog about what is a blog for, is it for useless ramblings etc? I say yes it is and so today i am going to waffle on about CAKE ! :o)

Cake is lovely, Cake is brilliant. There are hundreds and hundreds different flavours of cake. Some are wonderful, some are just plain ok, and others are damn right disgusting.

Some of my favourite flavours are:-

Coffee & walnut
Lemon
Fruit cake (the sort of one with icing & marizapan on it but not very often)
Victoria sponge
Chocolate cakes are ok, but the over rich ones are vile and make you feel sick!

The most digusting flavour cake for me would have to be Banana cake. Dont EVER serve it to me unless you want me to have a violent reaction and thump you. Because I will, bananas have that effect on me and they are a totally stupid fruit that isnt even a proper fruit - blahhhhhhhh no wonders monkeys are so stupid if they eat them all day long!!!

How to make a decent sponge mixture which can be adapted to suit your needs

4oz butter
4oz caster sugar
4oz self raising flour
2 eggs
little spalsh of milk

note: this can be easily be adjusted for larger cakes by going up in 2oz per 1 egg, you can add falvouring and other ingrediants to it as you wish. If the mixture gets to hard add more milk and to soft and more flour and generally it comes out ok. The slower a cake cooks the better. although put it in the oven on a high temp for the first 5 mins to encourage it to rise nicely.

If you would like some lessons on how to bake cakes, please contact me for private lessons at HQ for Bunny Corner Creations Inc.

Believe in...........them?

2006-03-14T10:14:00.000Z

Do you?

they are tiny, perfect little people just like you and I. They have little hands and feet and little bodies too, the main difference between them & us is that they have wings and magical powers. So the question is do you believe in Fairies and the Fairy Kindgom? .......... I do.

If you want to encourage Fairies into your garden, best to set an area aside for the Fairies to live. They ideally like an area which has lots of shurbs and something of interest such as a water feature or potted plants or ornaments. They also like pebbled areas too. In order for the Fairies to know that yours is a Fairy freindly garden, you can always put up a few Fairy ornaments, this lets the Fairies that its a safe area.

The Fairies dont come over night, that would be too risky. First they "test" you and your garden. If you see Toadstools in your garden after the rain then it means there are Fairies around and they are looking at your garden. If you let the toadstools grow then go away by themselves then the Fairies might decide to come and live with you. but you'll never know until they move in. You can tell when they have decided to move in as your garden will grow really well and they will be lots of pretty summer flowers growing all summer long. BUT..... just because they are with you one summer dosent mean they will be there the next. The trick is to encourage them each year by making it appealing for them to live.

So do you believe in Fairies and if so do you have them in your garden?

New Season F1

2006-03-13T10:46:00.000Z

Well the new F1 season started at the weekend with Schuey taking Pole from the new style qualifying only to be just beaten by Alonso after the second pit stop rounds during the race. A good more exciting start to the F1 season and hopefully more interesting then last year which was a rather dull season with too many rules and regarding the qualifying last year. At least this years new format qualifying makes it more interesting from the start.

Schuey (not my cat Schuey) had his 65th pole and has now equalled Aryton Senna's record. Think this will prob be Schueys last year racing as the younger drivers such as Alonso and Baby Button are driving hard and fast and giving him a run for his money. So make the most of Michael this year.

The new Bahrain circuit looks good on its second outing and the time difference means you dont have to get up at a stupid hour to watch the race live.

NB, my poor cat Schuey does wonder what is going on when her name is being screamed to"go faster"... fortunatley she is used to it now and I rather think she likes the attention as she is always around when its on tele!

Howards Blog

2006-03-10T13:04:00.000Z

After asking my good freind Mr Durdle how to Hyper-link so I dont look like a total muppet in the world of blogging. I thought it only just to include a link to Howard's site in my new found hyperlinking way so here goes hope you can get it!

Howard use to work with me at Hi-Q but has since gone on to pastures new and leaves me all alone!!! so there is no one here for me to chat rubbish to, meditate with on a boring friday afternoon, make naughty suggestions to and overall help pass the day nicely. Since we are a little company and now we are all open plan, chances are we would never have been able to do half the stuff we use to if he were here now, so prob best he has gone on to be a hotshot consultant techy bloke doing whatever it is he does!

So it is really thanks to Howard that I can now hyper-link and I shall make sure I make good use of my new skill! for those of you that think this is nothing new and exciting, well it is to me!

Sister HH

2006-03-09T13:19:00.000Z

This Blog is for my Sister HH, because I said I would blog about her.

My Sister HH is my sister Vicki, who I love loads and loads and loads. she is very special to me and is my very bestest freind. When we were younger we use to be very nasty to each other and proberly actually hated each other for a period of time. But as we have grown older, we are best buddies and i dont know where I would be with out her.

Crumpet Cat

2006-03-09T12:59:00.000Z

This morning as I lye in bed I heard a familiar cat noise and thought "oh no" went downstairs and sure enough there was Crumpet cat with a bird in her mouth. It looked like a thrush of something. I did try to get it out of her mouth and after chasing her a good 5 - 10 minutes with a wooden spoon she finally ran outside with it. I did follow her out side and spalshed her with a bit of water to try to get her to drop it but she was off over the fence and Im sure she ate the bird.

Now I am not to bothered about the bird (fact of life, cats eat birds) however I am concerend about the effect the bird might have on her. After hearing about cats in Germany getting bird flu I am concerned for Crumpet's health and ours as well.

I had already said that if Bird flu were to break out then they would be locked inside the house permantley. So I was really just waiting to see what happens. With Crumpet bringing a bird in today and I know she has eaten it I am worried about whether to keep them locked in now or wait to see if anything does happen. As of yet there is no bird flu in the UK so Im hoping the bird she caught today would be bird flu free. For the moment though, I am not going to let them in the bedrooms and keep an eye on her closely as well. I am not sure whether to call the vets, or if they mgiht think I am a tad crazy?

I would suggest that all cat owners give some thought about what to do if bird flu breaks out and letting their cats outside!

Bird Flu

2006-03-09T12:48:00.000Z

Well I suppose the subject had to be mentioned at some point. Half of me believes all the hype about it has been over hyped by the media doing a wonderful job of scare mongering as only they can, and infact we are all going to be ok. The other half of me is the "what if" half and surely its better to be prepared for all eventualites?
I apprecaite the other epidemics of last century killed millions, but in 1918 there wasnt any medicine and people lived in such different conditions that surely we of today with all our technology and medicine and anti-bacterial everything would stand a much better chance? OhI dont know, thats it and nor does anyone else know what is really going to happen, wasnt SARS suppose to have the same effect a few years ago? arent we all at risk from potentialy everything we put in our mouths anyway. Every other a new study says eat this, drink this and it will cause the big C. so who really knows. I guess we have to try to live each day the best we can and be happy.

I have however taken a few precautions and bought a supply of bird flu masks, googles, gloves and hand steriliser just in case something did happen and a mass outbreak were to occur. But having recently got a chest infection, I do wonder if by the time something did break out if half of us would have already been exposed to it anyway? I guess its the comfort of knowing that I have tried to protect myself and my family.

Getting Old!

2006-03-08T16:21:00.000Z

I know it happens to us all but I have to say I am amased at the rate it is happening. As I am lucky enough to say that most of my very good freinds and people I go out with are those that I went to school with, its fair enough to say that we have all know each other for nearly 20 years, and some more then that. We have seen each other go through puberty, exams, first loves and losts, more exams, uni, jobs, houses, cars, and for some marriage and a few kids. So its far to say that all in all we all know quite a bit about each other. And so the hitting of 30 somehow seems to be a occasion mark in the path of life. No longer are we twenty somethings but instead we are thirty somethings and there is a difference - a big one! As I am now thirty by nearly 5 months, I am one of the oldest from our year at school and it does make you feel old. I see young girls in the street and who think they know it and laugh smuggely to myself - you dont!!! I saw a young couple holdinghands in festival place and though "bless" a first date and remebered back to my school days and what a big thing it was meeting a boy outside of school at a weekend, it meant you were serious! - oh the joy of looking back and remebering the innocence of how we were and the stupidity of some of our mistakes as well. I look at my husbands neieces who are 11 and 12 and remember back to school and what was important, what boys we fancied, who had snogged who and maybe gone the next step etc. Oh I fondly I now look back and remember the good old days a Robby Mays. I am just lucky that I still have my very good freinds who we can get a bit tipsy and share our memories of our younger years. As well as be there for each now.

To my bestest pals - love ya all.

A photo from Andrea's 30th birthday celebrations which was excellant. Photo show us all looking nice and neat before the drinking and dancing got a hold of us.

And Calm

2006-03-07T16:53:00.000Z

After having a look at my previous Cold Calling post, I just thought I would write a quick snipet of the benefits of calmness. I was concerend that it may have read like I had steam coming out of my ears when infact I was all rather calm and just ranting about cold callers.

I have discovered that calmness, postiveness, and being a optimistic can be truly benefical to one and help in one's mental attitude and phyical well being. Although saying all of this is actaully easy the difficult part is achieving it and to achieve it requires you to put some time aside and dedicate the time to being open to the calm suggestion and making it work for you.

We all have our little mantra's and mine is Calm, happy, healthy, positive..........

I must put more time into listening to my hypnotherapy CD and helping myself to become the happy and calm person that I am deep down.

I would really reccommend hypnotherapy to anyone that might feel they can benefit from a little gentle help in helping the become the person they want to be. Go see someone who can talk to yuo, understand you and together help you achieve te things you want. I can reccomend someone in the Hampshire area who I think is fantastic.

Anyway, enough rambling for today, stay happy and healthy and keep true.

Cold Callers !!! - arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

one simple question?

Why dont you ALL just piss off and die???

You are are useless, irratating, annoying, twats. Cold calling by phone is so ancient and such a unprofessinal way of doing business in this century. Why oh why with all the technology that we have do companies still think that picking up a phone and calling someone or company who dosent want to know about you or your stupid services and hassling them with useless info is a good idea???

I HATE COLD CALLERS

I HATE COLD CALLERS

I HATE COLD CALLERS

espically the ones that think they are clever, try to make out they are important, or bigger then me and ones who speak with a foreignn accent. arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

if this is your profession the tough luck, get a ew job, cold callers suck!!!

ha ha I am speaking Bunny face, I have always had the amasing ability to speak Bunny french its a mixture of french and by own language. When I went to Paris last year it came in very handy and I even sang in Bunny french as I walked down the streets of the Champs Eleeyes and fitted in like a local! (although at this point my wonderful companion, did decide to stop holding my hand and tried to distance himself from me) can only think this was because he didnt want to take any of the limelight from me and wanted people to know it was me with the truly wonderful singing voice not him - ha ha

Oh well, that's it, if there is anybody reading my ramblings, please let yourself be know

Cough Cough Cough

2006-03-06T10:49:00.000Z

Hello, I have mostly been coughing for the last fews days due to a nasty chest infection. Would just like to say how wonderful anti-botics have been in helping to clear it up and i could really feel the difference after a day taking them. Still another 3 days left to go so I hope it moves all this shite for good. I didnt feel to bad about taking it as I havent had the need to take any for about 7 years so I didnt think that was to bad going.

So back to work today and lots of this and that to catch up on. Just deciding whether to go home for lunch or to pop into town (which is so easy from our new office) only trouble there is it makes spending money so much easier! and I dont want to be doing that! espically since a new Matthew Williamson Handbag has my name written all over it and Im not sure if I should buy it or not - hummmm on the dilemma, but it is soooo nice in a lovely pale pink colour with nice handbag charms on it, ohhhhhhhh what to do what to do?

My Sandwich

2006-02-27T12:40:00.000Z

Well today I bought a sandwich from the bun van at work. Due to a serious hangover from a excellant night out on saturday, sunday left me iincapable of getting out of bed and doing any shopping so when I came to my lunch to day I had to use the bun van. Anyway the sandwich I choose was a ham, tomatoe and mixed cheese on granuary bread - doorstop styley, i dont normally go for such unhealthy sandwiches but after eating very little yesterday and being so ill from the over consumption of alcohol I figured a little of something naughty would be ok! Anyway the long and short of it is, its tastes yucky!!! its gunky and to thick and stogy! dont like it much at all. I have eaten half and will prob eat the other half for hte only reason is that it is money wasted if I dont. (bit tight like that) I can offer some advice, homemade sandwiches are much nice in my opinon. So its off to sainsburys after work to get something for my lunch tomorrow!

Whoo Hoo this is my first blog post ever! - cool

now for someone who is not very techy at all I am quite impressed with myself for even wanting to do a blog. But I have been quite compelled by reading other blogs to start one. So here is it - Bunny's World, and the things I want to blog about and share with you all.
