Roller Derby in Diary
I had my first roller derby session yesterday. I loved it and can't wait to go back. Everyone was really friendly, helpful and patient and I'm surprised how much I learnt in a short space of time...
Long weekend in Diary
I've had a busy day today. Before I'd been up two hours I'd put in a load of washing, cleaned out my birds, had breakfast, washed up, had a shower, took my car in to have some work done, walked h...
Diets and Politics in Diary
I've started the 5:2 diet again. I did it before we went to Florida but I've put on about 7-9lb since we came back six months ago and have a bit of a podgy belly. I don't know what the actual amo...
Skater Baby in Diary
I've got a date for my roller derby newbie day, it's going to be on Sunday May the 4th; Star Wars day! They say they can lend us skates and pads for four weeks and we also have to wear a mouth gu...
I had a lovely long weekend with my family and we were busy every day. I have to make the most of it as I only see them three or four times a year. Good Friday, 18th April On the Friday, we all...
Tickets please! in Diary
So I've been greedy this year at work and asked for tickets for Download Festival, Sonisphere AND British Summertime Festival. Well the line ups for all three are pretty epic and I couldn't choos...
Week by Week in Diary
Today I started reading a book I'd bought ages ago called "Start Your Business Week by Week." It goes through a list of things you should be doing each week in the run up to going live. It has 26...
Stuff and Things in Diary
I've had a busy time since I got home from work last night. Dog walked, birds cleaned out, windows washed, house vacuumed, washing up x2, laundry x3, car vacuumed and washed, new headlight bought...
Happy List in Diary
I finally made it home 2.5 hours after leaving work and 12.5 hours after leaving the house this morning, including an hour creeping along the motorway for 20 miles. What a bloody stressful day it...
Insert title here... in Diary
So I need to come up with a name for my company. If I'm going full time in four months I need to start putting things together; get myself registered with HMRC, get the marketing planned and rea...
Appraisal and Wedding in Diary
I finally had my annual appraisal at work on Friday. My boss told me I was too quiet and need to speak up more when I have a problem. Also that I need to be better at filtering sales calls. I tho...
"Morally impoverished" in Diary
Ha, I was just sorting out some old emails and I found this one from Pete, which he sent to me about five years ago when we were going through the very long and arduous process of splitting up. ...
Frustrated in Diary
I had a lovely weekend just gone which I keep meaning to write about but I just want to vent for now. I have my annual appraisal at work today and I'm bricking it. Not because I've done anything ...
The equinox was at 16:57GMT today. Spring is officially here! Although it said hello with a whole day of torrential rain. Great! Everything is budding, though, which is nice. All our plants that ...
Yeah, we went to Amsterdam last weekend to meet my friends from Loughborough. Me and Jay chose a flight that got us there just after lunch so we would have more time, but everyone else didn't arr...
I've had to separate my zebra finches. The male has been chasing and bullying the female. I separated them for a few days a few weeks ago and, when I put them back together, they seemed pleased t...
We had our New Window Party on Saturday. I invited all of my friends from Loughborough. They all either declined or ignored my invitation. Except for Abi! She was going to come and we were going ...
101 Things in 1001 Days in Diary
I found it! I searched the notepad version of my Open Diary that I took and found my massively out of date list in there. The deadline is actually TODAY so I'll have to tidy it up and start again...
Well, as predicted, I didn't get my shiny rock on Valentine's day. Maybe I should just accept that I'm going to die a childless spinster, then if children or marriage does happen, it will be an e...
Haha, I had a dream the other night that Jay proposed when we went out for our Valentine meal. Well, he didn't actually propose, he just gave me what was obviously an engagement ring (and it was ...
I found a national dog walking and pet sitting website that's looking for employees so I sent them an email offering my services. I think being employed by a national company might offer more sec...
Me and Jay are having a New Windows Party. It was his mate Rob's idea, and who are we to turn down a party? He invited all his friends and I said I would invite all my friends from Loughborough, ...
I am so bored of work. Every day I do exactly the same thing. Raise purchase orders, book hotels, book flights, consolidate credit card statements, transfer phone calls. Is this really what life ...
So I suppose I should jump on the bandwagon and mourn the loss of Open Diary. To be honest, I gave up on it months ago. I was still cross posting over there since I signed up here in the vain hop...
New windows in Diary
I've spent the last two days ensconsed in a single room in our house, with no heating save from a small oil filled electric radiator with me covered in blankets. Seeing as though there are workme...
