Dodgy Dreams

I’m a little late with today’s blog entry! I’ve been a busy little bee at work…. Well I’ve been busy some of the time and some of the time I’ve been e-mailing Ally, anyway.. I’m here now which is the most important thing! I can’t believe it, but I actually managed to overlay AGAIN this morning! It was 7.20 am when I opened my eyes! I nearly had a bleeding heart attack! Somehow I managed to get dressed and everything and leave the house for 7.35 but it was 8 am by the time I got to work and I was all flustered by then! I’m seriously gonna set about 72 alarms in the morning so I get my ass out of bed!! I’m gradually waking up later and later, I’m convinced that by next week I won’t be waking up until about 3 pm!!  I didn’t get to watch the start of the new CSI series last night, our Sue came up and we had a girly chat and glass of wine which was really nice! So that’s my plan for tonight… to catch up on some telly watching! As I said been e-mailing Ally today at work… She’s been making me chuckle all day! (You’re a life saver mate, keeping me sane when I was all by myself in the office) The funniest thing is, our offices or on the same floor, so we could quite easily chat to each other on the corridor or in the kitchen but instead we have this e-mail banter going… Love it!! We’ve decided when Chelle gets back to work we’re all gonna meet for lunch… Can’t wait!!! So to explain the title – I’ve been plagued by these dodgy dreams just lately, in them my beloved Grandma (who sadly passed away 18 months ago) is ringing me and in the dream I know that she shouldn’t be able to ring me and everything and I keep saying ‘so are you back then’ and she keeps replying ‘no darling, just listen to me, I need to tell you something…’ but I can’t remember what she tells me… How weird… can anyone offer any insight into this??  And on that bombshell (Top Gear’s back can you tell..) I think I better be off! Catch ya later xxxx

All’s well that ends well…

Happy to report I managed to get to work in one piece today! And my Dad took my car out for a spin last night and he says the breaks and everything are all working fine so it looks like Mischa (as Chelle named her) the Micra has survived this adventure! She’s got to go for her MOT soon anyway so if anything is wrong it’ll be picked up there!! It’s been a really busy day today, I’ve been in and out of the office all day at various meetings (how important do I sound?) but I was a little gutted because while I was out at one of these meetings our office fire alarm went off and everyone had to evacuate and the fire brigade came and everything and I missed it!!!  Ally kindly took some pictures for me (cos she works in the same building as me) so that was some consolation! All the exciting stuff happens when I’m not there!!  

Then, when I finally got my dinner at 2.30 I ate it and as I was taking the rubbish away I spilt crisp crumbs on the floor. So there I am bent down picking up these crumbs with my arse in the air when this twat from another department who I immensely dislike comes round the corner, sees me and just pulls this smug/smirky face… I could have punched him in it!!!! That’s about all I’ve got today… We didn’t get to the gym cos Chelle is still poorly with her back (stupid people that can’t drive!!)…  So, I’ve bought some work home with me to do so I’m offski!!Catch ya later X x X x X

Great start to the week!

Driving to work this morning, some incompetent buffoon decides to pull out of a lay by, onto the dual carriageway without so much as a cursory glance to see if there was any traffic coming. I had to slam the breaks on while doing about 50 mph causing me to then skid all over the road to avoid hitting him… I swear to God, I don’t even think he realised what he’d done. The car behind me must have seen what was happening cos he managed to swerve and avoiding running into the back of me, but still quite a scary experience and my neck is thrashing from breaking hard and where the seat belt pulled. I think my cars ok, there’s definitely no damage to it. But my Dad’s gonna take it out for me later just to make sure it’s driving ok… cos I know absolutely nothing about that sort of thing! So as the title says… what a great start to the week! I didn’t want to come to work before this happened so I certainly don’t wanna be here now! 

I’m in turmoil again now… my line manager has just been in and has given me some top secret news that may lead to further prospects within my current role and more pay. So now, I don’t know if to bother with this interview… I mean the only reason I’m dissatisfied here is because I couldn’t see it going anywhere but now there is hope on the horizon… We’re supposed to be having appraisals soon so maybe I can hang on til then and see what happens? I’d love to continue in this job with more responsibility (and ultimately money) because I know what I’m doing here, I know the people and I can do the job! Why can’t life ever just be simple and straight forward? 

That’s all for now folks… I’m absolutely knackered and I can’t be arsed to think anymore! Think I’m off to the gym with Chelle tomorrow… if her neck/back is ok?!?! But for tonight, I’m going to have some tea, and then have a red hot soak in the bath which will hopefully relieve some of the pain in my neck/back! Catch ya later! xxxx

Decisions, Decisions…

So, following a conversation will Ally online yesterday, I’ve decided the best course of action is to not tell my line manager about the interview. As Ally rightly pointed out, it could cause unnecessary hassle, because if I don’t get the job or if I decide not to take it I’ve still got to work with these people. So I’m just going to book a days leave and say nothing until I have to…. i.e. if I get the job and take it. It will make it all the more sweet to just hand my notice in anyway, then I won’t have to explain myself and I won’t give a poop if no one talks to me cos I’ll be working my notice and I’ll be outta there! I’m really quite nervous about the interview. Well not the interview itself as such, more about what happens if I get the job. I mean I’m so not happy in my job and I want a change but it scares me to start all over again… with new people and a new job! Is that normal? I mean as much as I dislike my job, I know what I’m doing, and I know everyone there (even if I don’t like them all) and what if I get this other job, and I dislike that and the people just as much, sometimes it is just better the devil you know surely? BUT it is more money so I suppose if I do dislike it as much as the job I’m in then at least I’ll be getting paid more! I just don’t know! Of course I am worrying about something that hasn’t even happened yet! I might not even get the job! 

Also on Ally’s advice I have to tell ya about this…. I was sat on the sofa yesterday, chatting to Ally on MSN when an Interflora van pulls up outside my house, the woman gets out with this gorgeous bouquet of flowers, and I’m sat getting fully excited, thinking that they were for me, but, no, they were for the woman next door!! I don’t know who I thought was sending me flowers anyway! 

Anyways… best be off, Abigail’s having dinner at Mum’s and I’ve gotta go pick her up! Catch ya later…. xxxx

Exciting News…..

Morning all, I’ve had some fantastic news! I’ve got an interview for one of those jobs! On Thursday 1 February! Isn’t that great, I’m really excited and nervous! It now means that I need to talk to my line manager though which I’m not looking forward to! I think if I just say to her that it’s not that I don’t wanna work there (which is obviously a lie) but if I say that and say that I want something new with better prospects then I can’t be fairer than that? Advice please…… I had a fantastic night last night, went to my cousins for the Chinese and wine! The kids were playing upstairs my cousins husband was out so there was just me and her, we drank two bottles of wine and had a really good chat about all sorts! It was lovely. Then it was so funny when her hubby came home and he was slightly drunk as well and we were just messing about and having a proper laugh! The Chinese was nice too, crispy duck and pancakes… mmmmm!! We didn’t get home til gone midnight though, Abigail went straight to bed and by the time I went up she was sock on asleep…. She looked so cute…. 

But we had a mint lie in this morning… Abigail didn’t get up til 10.30!! So I’m still sat in my pyjamas now! I’m gonna get dressed in a minute though cos I’ve got to go and do the dreaded food shopping!! I really hate doing that!!

Oooh, in other exciting news… read in the paper that Steven Gerrard is getting married on July 16^th …. Gutted about that!! And two of my other favourite programs are back on this week! Top Gear starts again tomorrow… I love that and my all time favourite… CSI: Crime Scene Investigation starts again on Tuesday… I absolutely love that, I worry myself at times though cos I get that into it, I do think I am a CSI!! Scary! Plus…. The new series of Lost continues on 11 February and when I’m not thinking I’m a CSI I think I’m on that Island…. Hold on, I think that’s the men in white coats at the door for me!! 

Suppose I better make a move…. Catch ya later! xxx 

What a Day!!

Hi ya! Me again! I’ve waited all day to blog on my new new!! (A little bit sad I know!!) I’ve had a disastrous day, I forgot to get up again this morning!! It was 7.15 when I got out of bed this morning which considering I usually leave the house at that time, it was not a great start. I was so late, Abigail got dressed at my mum’s, I literally grabbed her, wrapped her in the blanket and chucked her in the car! She thought the whole thing was hilarious! She was laughing at me running around like a blue arse fly!! So I then got to work at just before 8 am which is not too bad since I didn’t get out of bed until 45 minutes earlier! Once I got to work, my manager decides to tell me that he hasn’t sorted out the papers for this really important meeting on Tuesday and could I do it as he was in a meeting all day! So I move into the photocopy room to copy the papers and get them ready to post…. And then he tells me, that cos we’ve (we, like I was involved in this complete screw up) left it too late I couldn’t put the papers in the internal mail, I had to hand deliver them to all 20 meeting attendees! This in itself wouldn’t be too bad except that all the attendees are scattered at the four corners of the hospital!! Now had I known I was going to be going on this hospital safari I would have worn my flat shoes, but since I had no frigging idea I wore my heels! By the time I got back to the office I was in agony, I had to take off my shoes and then proceeded to wander around like a cripple for the rest of the day! They still hurt now! I’ll be so glad when I get a new job it’s not real. One of the company’s I’d applied to tried to ring me on my mobile today but I missed the call so I’m hoping I’ll get a letter or something with some good news!! 

I’m very excited cos my new Debit card has come and it’s Gold! (Not as cool as Ally’s pick card but still I’m impressed! 

I’m off down to my cousins tonight for the customary Friday night wine and Chinese which I love! The diets pretty much blown out of the window today… but I think I’ve been doing really well so I deserve a little treat! Then I’m really looking forward to a little lie in, in the morning!!

Catch ya later! xx 

 

More new new stuff….

Hi all, only me again… okay so I’m showing off now, using my new toy to blog twice, but I have further exciting developments… my new connection thingy for my phone has arrived so I can now post a picture of Abigail which is my main reason for posting right now… 

I was a good girl and went to visit my Grandma! It wasn’t as bad as I’d anticipated! My plan of taking all the children seemed to have worked and the flowers that I’d got her went down a treat so I think I’m back in her good backs!! I really should make more of an effort to see her regularly… she is my only living Grandparent after all!  Not really done anything exciting today, had a mad afternoon…. Between picking Grandma’s flowers up and going to visit her after picking Abigail up from school it was 6.30 pm when I got home so we had a chippy tea! I haven’t had a chippy tea for ages and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it, it isn’t particularly good for the diet, but one treat can’t hurt can it? I really don’t feel like going back to work tomorrow now though, having one day off has made me want more!! Plus Chelle’s not at work now til next Thursday cos of moving (very excited for ya mate.. Good Luck!) which means my days are gonna be so much more boring! But it is Friday tomorrow so that’s a bonus! Anyways better be off now I suppose! Nighty Night all xxx

How clever am I?

How clever am I then…. my new lap top is here and I’m all hooked up to the old tinterweb at home now!! Yay!! So I’m currently sat on my sofa, updating my blog, I am so fully excited it’s not real!! I had today off work so I was at home to receive my delivery as I could not get anyone to wait at my house for it (that’s family for ya though)! Although, since I woke up feeling worse with this cold than I have done all week, it’s probably just as well I’m not at work!!

Today is not a good day for me though, I have to go and see my Grandma Vi later (my dad’s mum) as it is her birthday tomorrow, now I’ve been a little naughty of late and haven’t been to see her. I did venture down on Xmas Eve only to find out she’d gone to Skegness for christmas.. so she didn’t get my xmas card! I’m now in her bad books and it’s fell to me to take EVERYBODYS birthday cards down! I’m going in armed with Abigail, Alex and Leanne to distract her slightly so hopefully I won’t get shouted at!

I’m going to enjoy the rest of my day off in peace and quiet while Abigail is at school! And also get the most out of my new computer before she gets here and claims it as her own!!

Catch ya all later xxxx

Bloody School…

Morning… How is everyone today? I’m feeling slightly better this morning, still bunged up and that but I’m feeling better ‘in myself’ so to speak!

I’m preparing for a fight with Abigail’s school! I was told last night that the ‘School Council’ (Which is made up of some of the kids) is going to be searching all the children’s lunch boxes to make sure that the contents are ‘suitable’ and are in line with Healthy Eating! Now I’m not against Healthy Eating at all, but Abigail likes to take a small chocolate bar and a bag of crisps in her lunch box and if I let her why should the school decide that this is not acceptable! Also what if it’s some manky, scruffy kid?! I don’t want them touching Abigail’s food! So I’m just waiting for it to start and then I’ll be down!! I’ve already had issues with the school in the past when Abigail was 3 and they inept Nursery staff managed to let her escape and my sister found her wandering up the main road!! Yeah, that did not go down well at all!!

Now, according to my scales I’ve lost a further 2 lb meaning a total weight lose of half a stone now…. Very pleased with myself… I’m starting to feel a difference with my trousers and that now as well! Exciting!

No exciting plans this weekend I’m afraid… Quite a boring weekend ahead! May watch the Chelsea v Notts Forest match on Sunday but that’s it…

Ooh, ooh and my Laptop has been dispatched so that should be here soon!! Yay!!

That’s all for now folks… xxxx

Forgot to get up this morning

Morning All, I’m still feeling all bunged up with this snotty cold and I barely slept at all again last night but I somehow managed to overlay! I didn’t get out of bed until 7am and I normally leave home at 7.10am so needless to say I was slightly late for work! I have to admit, I was very tempted to ring in sick when I realised what time it was, I wouldn’t have been stretching the truth that much either as I do feel quite ill!  I’ll soldier on though… I’ve dosed up on painkillers so I should start better soon. I hate it when I overlay it puts me in a bad mood for the rest of the day. And, I’m in the office by myself this morning which I hate, so I’ve got the radio on for company and I’m singing along!

 Nothing much to report for last night, I watched Sunday nights Trial & Retribution which I loved! I recorded the second part last night cos I was too tired to stay up and watch it, so can’t wait to watch that later!  

Bit of a boring entry today wouldn’t you say? You see this is what I was worried about when I started this blog, my life can be very boring and I don’t have anything to write about! My laptop is currently winging its way to me and should be here by the middle of next week at the latest…. Also I’ve ordered a data cable thing for my phone so I should be able to add a few pictures to my blog soon…. So you’ll all get to see my beautiful Abigail! Exciting!!  

Anyway… I’ll be off now…. Catch ya later xxxx
