Best get comfy, this is a long one!!

Best get comfy, this is a long one……!! The afternoon of my first day back did improve slightly on the morning. The other new Data Quality Officer, who started after I went off sick, kindly gave me something to do, all be it, mind numbingly boring, but better than sitting there all afternoon and all day Friday twiddling my thumbs! It was nice to see everyone from my old work, I went round both Thursday & Friday to have lunch with them! Another new person has started in the department as well, she’s come in on Application Support and it turns out I know her from when we were young! We didn’t particularly get on though! Despite this she was lovely to me, if a bit ‘over the top’… I think she’s a bit of a kiss ass to be honest but, it’s better than being bitchy and bad feeling between us I suppose! I’ve spoken to my old line manager and she’s more than happy for me to go back there if that’s what I want. She’s suggested we have a chat when we’re all back from Annual Leave, which, should be the week beginning 10^th September. Now, I do think I want to go back, but I want the same money as I’m on in this job, also, I go back to clinic about my hand on 17^th September so I’d like to wait and see what the Dr says then, cos if I do end up having to have it operated on, I don’t wanna go back and then go off sick, plus, when I go back next week, it’ll be my first week with the new line manager and things may be different in my new job then. I think I could like it, if there was more variety to it, so we’ll see. I’ll hold back on the decision making for now I think! I’ve got to give it a fair shot, I mean, I was only there 3 weeks before I hurt my hand, it’s no time to make a decision is it? Hmmm… 

I have had a particularly good/interesting weekend! Friday night after work I popped round to Chelle’s as I had a bit of stuff for her, I then had to go to the cash point and pick some chips up for Abigail’s supper. By the time I got home it was 6.20 pm, bearing in mind, I was meeting Sue at 7 pm to go to the club. So basically, I had 40 minutes, to have a bath, bath Abigail after she’d eaten her supper, get ready, get Abigail’s overnight bag pack, get Abigail to Mum’s so she could sleep there! And, guess what? I managed it!!! I got to Sue’s at 7.03 pm precisely… and then guess what?? Sue wasn’t ready!! She’d not even had a bath, cos she’d had a houseful of folk!! Lol!! She didn’t take long to get ready though and we went round to the club. We had an absolutely blinding night! It was a right laugh. We were well drunk by the time Andy and them came up from the Lakeside. Andy was also well hammered, and kept complimenting me on the, ahem, size of my, ahem, cleavage…! Only then, all his mates joined in… in the end every time I got up for owt, they were all giving my cleavage a round of applause…. How embarrassing ay? Me, Sue, Andy, Andy’s mate and Andy’s brother, then decided at 11.50 pm, we NEEDED a Chinese! So I ring them and see if they’ll still deliver and they agreed. We then proceeded to order just about everything off the menu! Every time the woman started to read the order back to me, someone shouted summat else to add on and then we all went back to Sue & Andy’s for that. When the food came, it was in a HUGE cardboard box, that’s how much we’d ordered. Andy then decided to try and barter with the delivery driver over the price. It came to a total of £27.93 and Andy told him he’d give him £25 and do a dance for him! So Andy did this full on, belly dance type thing, on the doorstep and when he’d done the delivery drive just looked at him and said, ‘That’s £27.93 please’… we were all rolling about laughing in the living room! It’ s probably one of them where you had to be there! Anyway, we ate that and we were all sat in the living room, when Andy’s dad came in… He was proper on one! Lost it big style… there is a LONG story but I’ll shorten it down for you… remember I said Sue’s brother in law and his partner had split up… well his Dad has took this quite hard and doesn’t agree with the fact that both have them have also erm… ‘moved on’ to other people, shall we say?? So he whacking Sue’s sofa with his walking stick! We were all just sat there, gob smacked! Then he went, next thing we knew, he’d chucked all Jamie’s stuff out on the street!! All Jamie’s sons old pram and everything, so at 1.30 am we’re dragging stuff in off the street!! It was unbelievable! It was an amazing night, we’ll never forget in, that’s for sure!! I went home at about 2.30 am! I was knackered all day Saturday!! 

Then, Saturday night, was not so good. We had another ‘Family Barbecue’ to go to. The last one was fine, and a lot better than we expected it to be! However, this was not the case Saturday night! We got there and both my Mum’s brothers were in a horrible mood. Uncle John (Sue’s Dad) was screaming at Max for something he hadn’t even done. So that obviously but Sue’s back up. Then Uncle Frank decided to sit next me and started calling my Dad! How fucking rude and disrespectful ay?? I sat there listening to him and thought to myself, if I say summat here, I’m gonna fly, and I knew that if I went, Sue & Carly wouldn’t be far behind. So I sat there, basically, letting him rip my Dad to shreds!! I’m absolutely livid about it. The only reason I didn’t say anything, was because it would mean there’d be bad feeling at the wedding next week and I didn’t want that for Carly, and also, I know that once I’d let it all out, I’d never speak to them again, including my mum probably cos she was on as well! How dare they… when Mum left Dad, she did it while he was away with my Uncle Frank for the weekend, he basically had no idea, came back on the Monday to find his wife, kids and most of the furniture gone from his home? You’d be a bit indignant wouldn’t ya?? But no, they’re not the ones in the wrong…. My dad is!! Righto!! I was talking to Carly yesterday and she’s as mad as I am about it, I said to her, I’d bite my tongue if they start next week cos of the wedding, and obviously Dad and them have got to be in the same room.  But, Carly said she won’t be biting her tongue if they start, so all hell could break loose, cos Dad’s family will be there as well obviously!! But even if nothing comes out at the wedding, I’ll be having my piece with them, I’m not having it!!! He’s my Dad at the end of the day, everyone is entitled to their opinion and I’m not asking them to like him, but don’t sit there calling him in front of me… That’s just bang out of order!! 

Yesterday was good though, Carly, Drew & Alex came round for their tea and then Emma, Lee, Jack & Kayla came up. It was lovely we all sat in my house til about 10 pm chatting and the kids were playing! As always it was a proper laugh, and even Drew came out of his shell a bit! He’s getting a lot more chatty with the family now, it’s only took nearly 5 years for him to get used to us! Lol!! Me & Carly have decided we’d be better off concentrating on Dad’s side of the family more (apart from our Sue obviously) cos they’re actually nice!! So I think that’s what we’re gonna do! 

This week is obviously gonna be a busy one. Tomorrow, I’m going to Chesterfield to pick the photo’s up from the portrait place, gotta get Abigail a Birthday Cake and Chelle’s coming up in the afternoon! Wednesday is Abigail’s birthday, then Thursday and Friday the nail woman is coming most of the day and we’ve also got to pick the bridesmaid dresses on Thursday!! Phew, I’m getting tired just thinking about it! 

In good news though, Liverpool won 2 – 0 away at Sunderland on Saturday!! Torres was amazing how he ran through the defenders!! And Voronin scored a blinder… and Momo Sissoko scored his first Liverpool goal as well, which was also the Club’s 7000^th League Goal! So he’ll be in the history books now! That’s 2 away wins this season already!! We hadn’t won away from home by xmas last season!! Great start I think you’ll agree! 

Oooh, by the way, lost 2 lb this week!! So still on course!! Yay!! 

Better leave it that…. Boy, that was Looooong!!! See ya Soon XxXxX

Let the Diet (and excercise) Commence!!

I’m pleased to report I am feeling slightly brighter about things now! I think the fact that I’ve had quite a bit to do is part of the reason, and also, I’m rather looking forward to getting back into the routine of work and everything. I started the dieting and exercise in a big way yesterday (I can’t promise how long it will last for, but I might as well go for it while I’m in the mood!) I’ve cut out all the crap that I’ve been snacking on while I’ve been at home, started drinking 2 litres of water a day again and started doing some exercise, which I think is the most important thing! I’ve been going on the strider exercise machine at Dad’s for between 10 – 20 minutes a day, as well as at least 5 minutes of constant skipping (!) and using this tummy crunch jobby that I’ve got. I have to say, I think that’s helped to improve my mood as well!! I’m hoping to lose at least 12 lbs by the time we go away (6 weeks), which, at 2 lb a week is quite achievable I think! Fingers crossed anyway… I’m thinking of adding a page chronicling my attempts, what do ya think? It might spur me on in the times when I can’t be arsed to exercise and am craving a chocolate bar or summat!! 

We all went back to Photo place on Saturday to pick the pictures! I’m really pleased with how they turned out actually. We had the ‘Full Set’ package which consists of 8 10 x 8” pictures and 8 7 x 5” pictures. So we’ve had a full range. Some of all of us together, some of just me, Carly & Leanne, some of Mum with me, Carly & Leanne, some of mum with Abigail & Alex, some single ones of Alex and Abigail, one with Abigail and Alex sat together, some of me & Abigail, and some of Carly, Drew & Alex. Drew’s dad is quite clever with photography as well, he’s got all the software for the computer at home so he’s going to copy some of them so I can have some, Carly can, and we’re going to get some framed for Dad for his birthday (shh! Though cos I think that might be illegal!!) I’m going to collect them next Tuesday, and I have to say I’m rather looking forward to seeing the actual pictures, instead of just on the computer screen! Mum was well impressed with them as well, which is good, seeing as it was for her birthday and all!! 

Pfft…. I don’t even want to talk about the travesty of the Liverpool v Chelsea match! Fernando Torres scored on his Anfield debut, a blinding goal it was too! Excellent start! But then, the mardy gits that Chelsea are, they have to start cheating in order to get anywhere! Every time the slightest thing happened they surrounded the ref appealing for this and for that! Then Agger and Malouda had, what can’t even be described as a collision, Malouda was clearly diving before Agger was anywhere near him, and amazingly the ref gave a penalty!!! Cheating Scum! Only two people in the entire stadium thought it was a penalty, the (blind) ref and bloody Mourinho, who incidently claim his team are ‘pure’ and ‘naïve’ – yeah righto!! As Rafa said “If that’s the case then I’m Little Red Riding Hood!”, TOO BLOODY RIGHT!! So it ended in a 1 -1 draw! The ref has since admitted that it was never a penalty… and he won’t be officiating any match this weekend!! He said his decisions ‘may have’ affected the result!! that’s all very well, but still robbed us of the points didn’t it?? He said his decision ‘may have’ affected the result!! May Have?? I think it bloody well did!!! Grr!!

 <—— How beautiful is he?? Mmmmm…. (drool) 

We went for the Wedding Rehearsal yesterday, after a farce, whereby the vicar didn’t turn up, it did go quite well! It transpires that the vicar thought the rehearsal was at 7 pm, we thought it was at 3 pm (not much difference ay?) so me & Carly had to go to Langwith and track down another vicar who is the Team Rector or summat! We all know more or less what we’re doing on the day now and the kids were reasonably well behaved! Leanne practiced her reading and did really well so all is going well!! I’ve been to the hospital today for my Nerve Conduction Test. It was a little odd having the electric current through my arm (its still tingling now!), but it wasn’t too bad! I can’t get in at clinic until 17^th September, so got a bit of a wait, but at least I can get on with life for a little bit, and get back to normality! And, if Surgery is the next option, it won’t be til after the wedding!! 

That’s about it I think! I’m off to the Dentist this afternoon, We’re going over to see Chelle tomorrow morning cos she’s still not well bless her, she’s not really having an easy time with the pregnancy at all! Hope you’re feeling better soon mate!! Then back to work on Thursday!! 

Catch ya Later XxXxX

Lonely, depressed… but why?

I’ve got some even more good news about the holiday! I paid Mum £100 of the £300 it’s costing for me to go and then she said to me yesterday that she’d pay the rest of it cos of all the money she’s shelled out for Carly’s wedding! So it’s now only costing me £100 for a week, all inclusive, for me & Abigail, in Majorca! Woo Hoo!! Bargain or what! Bless Mum!! So now I’ve only got to find what little bit of spending money we’ll need while we’re there! I went to Mansfield Wednesday and got almost everything we’ll need clothes wise! I got dress and pair of white linen jean type trousers from Dorothy Perkins and some lovely stuff from Primark including a nice strapless dress for night time! I can also take these with me when we go to Butlins (which is only 3 weeks today!) I’ve got loads to look forward to lately, its Abigail’s birthday on the 29^th, then the wedding, then Butlins, then the holiday! 

Despite the fact that I have all these ‘events’ to look forward to, I’ve been feeling rather depressed just lately. I’ve not really been sleeping, the other night I went to bed at the normal time of about 11 pm but laid awake until 1 am, then got up and watched tv and had a chicken noodle soup thing cos I just couldn’t go to sleep! And I just generally feel ‘down’, and I don’t really now why. Maybe it’s cos I’m lonely? I mean, it’s been a while now, and I just want to find someone that I want to be with and who wants to be with me… Is that really so much to ask? There must be some ‘normal’ men out there somewhere… surely? All I want is a decent bloke, who has his own life and is not dependant on me, but whose company I enjoy… Hello? Are you out there? If you are, please speak up!! 

Yesterday I went with my friend Jodie for the final fitting for her wedding dress. It was lovely, she looked absolutely amazing and the dress suited her down to the ground! I’m gutted that I can’t be there when she gets married! But it falls on the same weekend as Carly’s and I can’t be here, and in Mauritius as much as I liked to be! I hope she has an absolutely amazing time and I wish her & Jez all the best for their long & happy future together (Oh and I’m not jealous at all… well much!). 

I’m looking forward to going back to work next Thursday. I think I’m gonna start back at the gym then too, get into the routine of going at least twice a week. I’ve lost over a stone but I’d liked to loose at least another stone! So need to hit the gym! Plus it’ll be good to get back into the swing of life if you know what I mean? This break from work has been lovely, and I’ve got to spend loads and loads of time with Abigail but I’ll be glad to get back to some sort of normality!! 

Oh, and what a great start to the season for the mighty Liverpool ay? A win against Aston Villa at the weekend and a win Wednesday against Toulouse in the Champions League! Looking good. Its the first time Rafa has started the season with a win, so that bodes well for the Premier League campaign I think! I reckon Rafa’s goatee beard is gonna be the Kops good luck charm this year! If they can turn Chelsea over at the weekend we’ll be away!

Think I’ve rambled on for long enough now! Catch y’all later! XxXxX

Still off work… And HUGE Spiders!

I phoned the hospital on Monday and spoke first to my Consultant’s secretary, who apologised for the delay saying that they are short staffed and my last clinic appointment hasn’t been typed yet so the request for the nerve text hasn’t been sent! Great, so she’s sorted that out and also put on the request to ring me if they have a cancellation so hopefully that won’t be too long now. I asked her if I could go back to work and she said obviously she’s not qualified to say but she said she’d speak to my Consultant. A little bit later he rang me himself and asked if things with my hand were any different, I said they weren’t and in fact the pain is probably worse now than it was, he said in that case I absolutely can’t go back to work, he explained cos they thought it was nerve damage that I could injure the hand further (which he said would be highly likely and easily done with it being my dominant hand) and cause permanent damage and even total loss of feeling to some/all of my fingers… So I said, yeah don’t really want that then! I went to the GP yesterday and he gave me a sick note for another month, I phoned work afterward and explained, I don’t think she was very impressed, but to be perfectly honest if it comes down to a choice between going into work to keep them happy, or permanently damaging my hand… There’s no contest really is there? It’s not like I’m doing it on purpose is it? So the decision I was struggling with at the beginning of the week has now been made for me! In a way I am pleased cos it means I get to spend loads of time with Abigail while she’s off! 

Had a little change of plan for tonight, I was gonna nip to my cousins tonight to take some birthday cards round but she text me this morning and said she won’t be in so I was gonna be at a loss for summat to do, when Ally texts me… She says that my line manager has got some forms or summat for me (I spoke to her yesterday and she never said anything…) so she’s gonna nip them round for me andwe can have a little goss and catch… Chelle might be coming too, depending how she feels… But she needs to keep her strength up for growing lil’ baby Hough!! So that’s a pleasant turn up for the books! Yay! 

Yesterday, Dad rung me and said he was watching Liverpool v South China in the Asia Cup and did I want to go down… Hell Yeah!! So we went and watched that, Liverpool won 3 – 1 with goals coming from Riise, Alonso and Agger… I have to say the team played well together and are looking really good for the beginning of the season. They’re in the final of the Asia Cup on Friday now against Portsmouth, which should be an interesting match!  

Got another busy weekend coming up, Friday night we’re all going to Frankie & Benny’s for mum’s birthday, Saturday is mum’s birthday so she’s have a bbq all afternoon/evening, then Sunday I think I’m going to the pictures to see Hairspray! I’m reall looking forward to that! 

On a slightly different note… I went in the kitchen at about 11 pm last night to get a drink before going to bed… And there was this HUGE spider on the floor in front of the glass cupboard, it was proper enormous! I pooped my pants!! I took this picture look, just to prove how big it was! I had to kill it all by myself!! Eugh!!

 

That’s it anyway…. Catch ya Later XxXxX

Sooo Tired Zzzzzzz

So I’m still off work… I’m still bored and now I’m knackered as well! I was up til midnight chatting to Nick on MSN… He’s a bad influence ya know! I’m normally tucked up in bed at 10.30 pm!! But we did have a lovely chat though so it was worth it! Then just as my head hit the pillow and I was starting to doze Abigail woke up! She’s not very well so we’ve been up all night! She’s not gone to school today meaning we did get to go back to bed a little while this morning… But I’m flagging again now!! I might see if Abigail’s tired and maybe we’ll get a little afternoon snooze in!! 

My phone didn’t come on Tuesday due to ‘unforeseen circumstances’ according to T-Mobile, so that came yesterday. I LOVE it!! Its so shiny!! So that made me happy!! 

Tuesday afternoon Ally came round to see me as she blagged the afternoon off work with it being her birthday! That really brightened my day up! It was great to see her and we had a lovely chat… Me, her and Chelle are going to see her new house on Tuesday night… can’t wait for that!! Hopefully we’ll all start to see a lot more of each other out of work now, with Ally leaving we’ll have to, otherwise I won’t see her… And that just won’t do! I’ve missed chatting to Chelle this week as well cos she’s not been at work, so we had a lovely chat on the phone last night! It was great to catch up, she filled me in on all baby related news which was great! And I filled her in on the moral dilemma I’ve been having and she gave me some much needed advice as she’s been in a similar situation… So thanks for that mate! I did as you suggested so just need to wait and see how far that gets me… fingers crossed ay?  

Other than that I’ve not done anything this week… which is a little depressing! Watching LOADS of TV cos loads of cool news shows have started on Sky… loving the new series ‘Dirt’ with Courtney Cox in… and ‘Dexter’ with the guy from Six Feet Under in! But I’m lagging behind on BB, I know it’s Nicky & Charley up for the ‘fake’ eviction… I’ve a feeling it’ll be Charley that comes out, gets interviewed and goes back in, but I think Nicky would be more interesting, cos everyone in the house already knows Charley’s a bitch, Nicky’s a bit more sly and people will see her true colours… looking forward to the eviction tomorrow either way!  

Nat’s coming up to see me tonight… Really looking forward to that too cos I’ve not seen her for ages… It’ll be nice to catch up! It’ll be the first time she sees me with my sexy splint on!! That means I ant got to cook tonight cos we’ll have a takeaway!! 

In Liverpool news… two more excellent signings announced this week…. Yossi Benayoun coming from West Ham and Ryan Babel from Ajax… Babel is particularly exciting… world class player! That puts Rafa’s spending at £35 million this week, equal to Ferguson’s spending at Man Utd (spit) but he’s got quite a lot of that back cos we’ve also finally off loaded the liability that is Craig Bellamy for a cool £8 million to West Ham, Lucia Garcia has gone to Atletico Madrid as Fernando Torres came from them to us and Djbril Cisse’s sale to Marseille was finalised after he’d been there on loan for 2 seasons… So we’ve had quite a clear out too.. I think it should be a really exciting season! I had to laugh the other day as well…. Jamie Carragher has retired from international football after spending 8 years fighting for a place in the team and constantly being over-looked, he said he wanted to concentrate on making Liverpool Number 1 which is great news for us… But then Adrian Durham called JC a ‘bottler’ and said he ‘didn’t have the stomach for the fight’ live on TalkSport Radio, so JC does no more than ring the radio station and puts Durham straight live on air!! Love it…. Ya don’t mess with JC… No nonsense Scouser!!!

Think that’s about all for now, I’ve not heard anything from the hospital yet (shocking I know) about my ‘nerve test’ so still no closer to an answer about my hand and when it’ll be better! Catch Ya Later XxXxX

Bored… Yep thats me!

Morning Peeps! Its me again! You’re probably starting to get the gist that I’m slightly bored as here I am, blogging again!!  

While I was in town yesterday I picked Abigail some new stuff up. I got her some new shoes, sandals, slippers and wellies as her feet have grown! And I went to the Debenhams sale and got her 2 t-shirts, a vest and bolero cardigan set, a summer dress and a t-shirt and trousers set all for £20… bargain or what? She’s going on a trip with school today to Creswell Craggs and she was so excited this morning bless her. She’s wearing her new wellies, even though the sun is actually shining today!! She’s took her Dora the Explorer back pack with her packed lunch in and her £2 spending money! I took some pics of her in her new pick fluffy slippers last night and in her wellies ready to go this morning… Plus her posing! How cute?

    

In Liverpool news… Fernando Torres has finally signed! How exciting… I was really hoping he’d come to Merseyside! Not only is he a fantastic footballer who can definitely help us make a mark on the League this year… but also, he is FIT! I mean phwoar! Him playing up front with Peter Crouch… dream come true! He’s been given the famous Number 9 shirt… but personally I don’t think he needs to wear a shirt… I know who he is! Lol!! But no, in all seriousness, he should bring some much needed goals to Anfield! 

I’ve heard a song a couple of times recently, in both The OC finale and ER series finale and then once on one of the music channels. It’s Jeff Buckley, Hallelujah and its really really good. A proper special song! I think I’m gonna order the album with it on which I think is called Grace… unless anyones got it and can copy it for me?? Lol! 

Last night, cos I couldn’t sleep I watched Déjà vu with Denzel Washington in… It was AMAZING!! I really really enjoyed it! It proper messed with your mind at times but it was worth it! If ya get the chance WATCH IT! 

Catch ya later X x x X

On My Own…..

It seems the Champions League Glory that I craved was not to be. Gerrard & Co put in a sterling performance and to be fair, they didn’t deserve to lose on the night. They played really well in the first half, then A C Milan went and scored that flukey goal in the dying seconds of the half, and I’m sorry, it has to be said, call me bitter and twisted if you want, the ball came off the strikers arm…. That’s a hand ball!!! Should’ve been disallowed!! Anyway…. Liverpool seemed slightly disheartened in the second half. They had a couple of good chances, but then Rafa started making some very odd changes… I don’t like to question Rafa, cos, clearly the man knows more about football than I do… but bringing Harry Kewell on, really?? The man has played about 45 minutes of football all season… Why would ya risk it in the final, he’s worth a goal for the other side every time he steps on the pitch! So I almost recovered from that shocker, when he then takes off Mascherano, who, all game had done an amazing job of shutting down Kaka. So he comes off, and guess what, Kaka makes a devastating run through and… it’s 2 – 0! Great!! Then, 4 minutes to go, 2 – 0 down, what does he do, bring on a shocking defender… to what? Defend the 2 – 0 deficit we have going on?? Just what we need! Liverpool did get one back, and I think if we’d just had a couple more minutes we’d have equalised! But, what will be will be, there’s always next year! Poor Stevie G was gutted though… Bless him!! 

In good news though… The Washers Sorted!!!! It seems the idiots at Currys finally got their acts together and it was delivered today. All that’s left to do is try it, so fingers crossed… But surely after all the crap I’ve been through with this washer, I must be in for some good luck now!! 

Still not heard anything from Twathoop, I’ve been thinking about this whole mess all day and I’ve come to the conclusion, I can’t deny my feelings, you can’t chose or control who you fall in love with, and even if I could, I’m not sure that I’d want to, I mean, where would the excitement in that be? So it’s time to refer to another of my favourite Musical Songs that I’ve been singing to myself all day, this one is from ‘Les Miserables’ and it about sums up how I’m feeling about the whole situation at the moment: 

On my own…..Pretending he’s beside me…..All alone……I walk with him til morning….Without him, I feel his arms around me….And when I lose my way, I close my eyes and he has found me 

In the rain….The pavement shines like silver….All the lights are misty in the river…..In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight…. And all I see is him and me forever and forever 

And I know it’s only in my mind….That I’m talking to myself and not to him….And although I know that he is blind….Still I say… there’s a way for us 

I love him…But when the night is over…He is gone….The rivers just a river….Without him, the world around me changes….The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers  I love him…. But everyday I’m learning….All my life…. I’ve only been pretending….Without me, his world will go on turning….The world is full of happiness that I have never known I love him….I love him….I love him…..But only on my own Like I said, that pretty much sums up how I feel.  Nat’s coming over tonight, so hopefully I’ll be able to talk to her about all this, see what she makes of it! Should be a good laugh again. I’m still hoping that maybe twathoop will come round seeing as he’s off work but I doubt very much he will. I’ve come to realise that I can’t predict him!! Anyway, Catch Ya Later X x X x X

Champions League Final Night

Well, the big night has finally arrived. That’s right people… It’s the Champions League Final tonight!! I’m so excited to watch it it’s unreal. It’s only 11 am and I’ve already got the butterflies in the stomach! I am quietly confident that Liverpool can pull it off though, although I do fear it will come down to a penalty shoot out, meaning me, and Dad will be on the verge of a heart attack!

I’ve seen several ‘likely line ups’ in the papers over the last few days, including, Crouch & Kuyt up front, Kuyt up front with Gerrard playing off him… Bellamy and Crouch, Bellamy and Kuyt… So I reckon Rafa’s keeping it close to his chest. I hope he plays Crouch & Kuyt up front, or Crouch with Gerrard playing off him. This seems to be the formation that’s got us where we are, so why change now. Although with Rafa, ya just never know. Rafa’s also quietly confident, and Stevie G has been loudly confident! Rafa thinks that AC’s desire to right the wrong they think was done to them in 2005 will lead to them getting frustrated and making a mistake and I think he could be right! I hope it’s an interesting game (not like that poop at the FA Cup Final on Saturday!) but I think it might be a boring 0-0 draw, cos the teams will cancel each other out. Hopefully we won’t be 3 – 0 down at half time like 2 years ago though!! Abigail is sleeping at Mum’s so Dad and me are going to the pub to watch it. I’m really looking forward to it, I’ve been a bit down lately (as some of my friends will know) so I think a good night out will perk me up a bit! And, when they won in 2005 I went out to watch it and the atmosphere was amazing, so hopefully it’ll be the same tonight… got my new shirt to wear so I’m all kitted out!! Bring It On… The Cup’s coming back to Anfield where it belongs! So make sure you’re all cheering on the boys tonight… whether you’re Liverpool fans or not, they’re an English side in the Champions League Final… Give them your support!! 

There’s been some proper mint flags on the Liverpool website that the fans are taking out to Athens… Here’s just a few of them….

     

In other news, still at War with Currys. The incompetent imbeciles were supposed to be sending me the paper out for my new washer so I can arrange the delivery, but have they? Have they fook!!! So looks like I’m going up to the shop again tonight before I go out… they’ll be in for it though.  

Unsurprisingly, I haven’t heard anything from twathoop, I know for a fact he ant got no credit, and things with the happy couple next door to me have been worse than ever so he’s not been up to train. I know he’s off work now until next Tuesday so hopefully I’ll see him at some point, he did say Saturday that he’d come up tomorrow, but he was drunk at the time so we’ll see! That’s all for now, hopefully I’ll be blogging in the morning with pictures of a victorious Liverpool and Stevie G lifting the cup!!!

New Page Added

Just a quickie to say I’ve added a new page. Its quotes from Liverpool’s history that I thought were quite good so decided to share them with ya!!Also, been reading the match reports and that from last night and what sort of a tosser is Jose Mourinho, he says the best team lost on the night (righto!), that Chelsea were the only team trying to win it in extra time – funny how Kuyt scored that goal that was disallowed then and hit the cross bar… And he said Chelsea did well against a side that were only playing for the Champions League – obviously Liverpool aren’t in the premiership then! Tosser. Loved Stevie G’s response to him calling Liverpool a little club though…  He said he thought it was disrespectful of him to say it, but for a ‘little team’ they’ve not done bad to get to the Champions League final twice in three years!! Loving it!!

The Road To Athens

Liverpool are in the Final of the Champions League… How utterly amazing is that?? What a match it was too! Daniel Agger scored in the first half making it 1 – 1 on aggregate… Then that was it… it was still tied at full time, so into extra time it went! I was a bag of nerves, A Champions League Semi-Final has never been settled on penalties, Then in the second half of extra time Kuyt netted one, but the blind lines man decided it was offside… which it clearly wasn’t! So it was still 1-1 at the end of extra time, so it was penalties, I HATE it when Liverpool/England matches are decided on penalties! I get so nervous, I was on the edge of my seat, sweating, pulse racing… madness… First up was Zenden, netted it cool as a cucumber, Up comes Robben for Chelsea, Reina saves it!!! I was on the phone to my dad, who was at work listening to it on the radio so he heard it before I saw it…. Which was a little odd… next up for Liverpool, Alonso, once again, netted it. Lampard up for Chelsea… he managed to score (amazing I know, I was beginning to think Lampard had forgot where goal was!) Gerrard was up next… and obviously cool as owt, netted it! Up comes Geremi, and once again Pepe Reina saved it… So, next up for Liverpool it’s Kuyt, if he gets it, it’s all over… and he does!!! I was literally dying at this point… my neighbours must’ve wondered what the hell was going! I was running round the living room, jumping about, screaming and shouting!! So it’s off to Athens we go!!! Be interesting to see who else gets through tonight, either Man U or AC Milan!!! Gotta go and buy my shirt for the final now!! Dad’s gonna treat me to that, so I think I’ll get ‘Crouch’ on the back too!!

Still waiting for official confirmation of the job, but hopefully not be long!
