Frustration! in Hello.
Sometimes I seriously wonder about my sanity. I’m the kind of person that doesn’t like to just blindly think what I’m “supposed” to think. It really actually frustrates me that some people live t...
I know other people’s dreams are incredibly boring, so please don’t feel obliged to read or comment, I’ve just put this here for my benefit so I can try and figure out what it’s about. I don’t be...
I didn’t get the job in the shop. The first I knew about it was when there was an article on the front of the local paper about the new department that was opening, with a photograph of the two n...
I love the weekend. The girls are good at getting themselves breakfast, so I usually stay in bed as long as possible listening to the radio. This morning I only got up to make us a cup of tea, th...
Very quickly..... in Hello.
Just a short entry because I’ve just bought a steam mop and I want to go play with it. (Got my back dated Tax Credits, and the mop was down from £150 to £50 in Argos. I’ve been wanting one for aa...
It’s most definitely autumn now! A couple of weeks ago it was still t shirt weather, now it’s gone really chilly and the leaves seem to have changed colour overnight. The heating hasn’t gone on y...
Day by day in Hello.
It looks like autumn is finally here. It’s been uncharacteristically warm these past couple of weeks, which has been great because Rob is off sailing all week. This morning the sky is grey, it’s ...
Group hug (I hit save too early! Massive edit.) in Hello.
John’s dad is in hospital. They’re not 100% certain what’s wrong at the moment, only that his kidneys aren’t functioning properly. Apparently he’d stopped eating and drinking, was “spaced out” an...
Work related stuff: edit in Hello.
I’m continuing to do as much voluntary outside work as possible. Last week I went on a practical session, which will hopefully lead to more of the same kind of work. As a thank you, in return the...
Just a stupid rant...edit in Hello.
Argh! That son of mine! I could throttle him! He lets his room get to disgusting levels. Yesterday his floor was covered in dirty clothes, dirty cups and dishes, empty food cans, all topped with...
Busy times! in Hello.
The girls went back to school this week, Eleanor into juniors and Bel starting secondary school! They are both enjoying being back, just a bit emotional through tiredness and starting a new routi...
Stuff and stuff and pictures in Hello.
Hi. There’s only Eleanor and I in the house right now. John and Rob have gone to work and Bel is away in Wales, after being invited (very last minute!) to go along with Katie and co. It seemed to...
For the love of God, will folk from the USA stop saying a British accent? It bugs me no end! It’s like saying a North American accent when you mean Canadian! You probably mean English, but Britai...
Long time, no write. in Hello.
Quite a lot has happened since I last wrote.My parent's dog had to be put to sleep a couple of weeks ago. My longer term readers will remember the Border collie, Meg. She was their baby, she went...
Resting bitch face in Hello.
Bloody hell, I woke up in a stinker of a mood this morning. Like psycho, bitchy, nasty, horrid type of mood. I even woke several times in the night angry. That's new. I tried counting my blessing...
Summertime and the living is easy in Hello.
The kids have been off school a full week. It's been fairly hot too, I don't function well in the heat, only going out when absolutely necessary. I mean, a couple of BBQs and a picnic is differen...
More excitingness! in Hello.
Today I went to the induction of the family event leader. It's a brand new venture, free and open to the public. The brief is that it's aimed at little ones aged 7 and under, with information for...
A title you say? in Hello.
I still haven't started my spinning. I'm bad, I know. I need a drum carder to be able to do it large scale and they're just so expensive! So I have an idea to raise funds. I've done it before and...
That's how long I've been out of work now. One week already! It's kind of flown in really. I know I need to hunker down and get started learning how to spin wool and all, but, you know,I decided ...
Lady of leisure Edit* in Hello.
Edit* It appears that I have omitted to add a lot of my friends on here. It IS just an oversight, I don't get on here very much. If I haven't added you, please give me a friendly prod. If you've...
Nice things. in Hello.
On Friday I went to Woolfest with my friend, Susan. Susan is a member of the Allerdale Red Squirrels group, she owns a garden centre and cafe and usually has loads of red squirrels running around...
Nice things. edit. in Hello.
I've put on a lot of weight recently. I got complacent about my portion sizes, ate a shed load of crap and stopped going out walking because of work. As a consequence, none of my summer clothes f...
There's more! in Hello.
Bit narked I'm not at Download this weekend. I mean, the line up is shit, I'm not bothered about the music, but Shellie got me a free ticket but I couldn't go because of work. :( Love the festiva...
Today I handed in my notice at work. There are a couple of reasons for this, and none of them are because I don't enjoy my job. First and foremost, Rob has got a job that will turn full time once...
Interview schminterview. in Hello.
I don't know why I bothered. What a complete waste of time. They were interviewing an internal candidate. Who is already doing the job. In that branch. I found out at the start of the interview f...
