Halloween 2009

We had a bit of a halloween party on Saturday for Kyle and a few of his wee friends... I got a handful of pictures, but here is one of my Godson Kyle in the Iggle Piggle outfit I got him to wear - I thought he looked adorable.

Bad Day...

So the day started fine - got up - feeling a bit on the side of dreadful cause I've got a cold that won't quit since Sunday - but meh, it's fine... I watched a movie with Jo and Dale, went across to say cheerio to her Mum, Dad and Kim's sprogs and then Dale took me to the bus stop...

*First* my bus was late, it should have arrived at 1310 - we saw it coming around about five mins after it was actually due, but it never came to the stand... then they said there was a fault and I had to wait for the next bus 20mins later... fine, fine, I wasn't worried, it shud only take an hour or so to get to the airport, no problem... except... which was then twice as full as it typically is... which meant twice as many stops... and the idiot driver kept letting people with prams on on even thou there was no room for them because the bus was *full* apparently the concept of full was beyond him though, because he kept making us move and shuffle around to make space for prams... seriously, the only way I could have made more space was carrying my suitcase on my head!

So the journey I've done several times suddenly became a nightmare - and meant that I got to the airport at 1500! About 45 mins later than I should have done... then of course there was a queue to check in - with families, with kids and ten million suitcases... and people who were only half doing their jobs - by the time I checked in I only had like 15mins to get thru security before we were supposed to board.

This would be an issue on a good day - today, not a good day - today, there were at least 200 people queued up to go through security... I so didn't have time, so I decided to pay the extra £3 and go thru the fast lane - goes to the machine, puts in my pennies - and it won't do anything, it won't give me the ticket, won't give me my money back... and the person who was supposedly 'in charge' of the fastlane was all like 'oh um. i dont know what to do' so she goes off to ask someone else! The someone else apparently told her to let me thru - with only *5 mins* to go before boarding!

So I get to the actual security thingy... I take my laptop out of my bag, say to the guy that I have a dvd camcorder in there and do I need to take that out too, because you know... electric... 'oh no no you dont need to worry about that' he *lied!*

First, I got bloody frisked when I stepped through the arch thingy... then when I go to get my bag and laptop... they *take my bag!*

The woman who is searching the bags is the one who frisked me and so I said, you know i've had a damn awful time getting to the airport and my flight is supposed to board in *5 minutes!* and yes there is a dvd camera in my bag which I told the guy at the other end and he said it was fine - did I mention he *lied!* Thankfully, she took pity on me just opened the bag, checked that there was indeed a dvd camcorder in there and let me go on, I barely got to the gate before boarding started - just long enough to sit, call Jo for a minor rant before they call for boarding.

Now, baring in mind, I forgot my motion sickness tablets when I left last week for Liverpool - I was already feeling sick - so flying wasnt going to be fun either way - but, because the universe hadn't done taking the piss, I ended up with a screaming child and an idiot who felt the need to keep kneeing me in the back directly behind me... and just to top the afternoon off - there was turbulance and we had a really bumpy descent and landing...

So I got home, finally, had coffee died quietly while watching an ep of NCIS - thinking, well SGU is on at 8pm - I'll watch that and chill out - but dispite the fact every other channel that I don't want to watch right now is *fine* Sky 1 is being hissy and didn't record SGU and is giving me a 'there is a technical fault with this channel' notice - because you know, the day just needed to get that one last kick in the teeth in before it was done with me...

Day Zero Update... the lazy version...

I know, die of shock right...

I've not done masses lately and I'm not going to go through everything, but since I last updated, I've completed one task and gone 10 days (24hr periods) without watching any TV! Watched all of How I Met Your Mother. Watched some more movies and read a bit - just read John Barrowman's latest book, 'I Am What I Am' *highly recommend it*!

I decluttered most of the house, only my own bedroom and Mum's to go, but she can do her's alone - and have thrown out a lot of stuff, also spent this last week *painting* most of the house, did living room, kitchen, bathroom, granny's bedroom and the back hallway, only mine and Mum's room and the front hall left to paint.

Now... to chill out and relax for the rest of today, because my week of peace wasnt very peaceful and Mum is back at work tomorrow so if I don't take advantage of today to relax, I won't get chance at all.

Peeeeeeeeace!

Peace, glorious peace, wonderful peace...

Got the house all to myself for a week *is gleeful* admittedly I'll be spending a lot of time doing a deep clean, because I'm strange like that and I can't do it properly when anyone else is around, but it's still peace, no mum, no granny, my friends have been warned to provide only minimal interuptions and I have PEEEEEEEEEEACE!!!

Weeeee

Sucess! 30 Days of posting fiiiiiiiiiinished!

I didn't have a clue what to post most days but I did it!!!

Weeeeeeee!!!

Finally Got My Laptop Collected...

After a week of piss assing about with idiots on the phone, I got my laptop collected today for them to go get my webcam fixed. They said it should be back in about a week, so that's okay, as long as it's back before I go to England for Kim's wedding thats fine.

Was going to kill my grandmother earlier though, she was bein really rude too everyone *grumbles*

Marcus is down now, so I shall has him for the next couple of days... now I just have to try not to kill him, lol.

Is Flucked...

Went to my friend Laura's house for dinner tonight and another friend of her's was there with her two kids, so I was playing with Laura's son Kyle (my bug) and Stacey's two kids, Grace and Callen and now I'm flucked, lol, was a lot of fun though.

Now I'm going to chill out and not move for at least an hour!

Completely lost track of time today...

So I almost killed my nano-month, but I caught it in time thanks to a timely reminder from Sarah.

I have no idea what I did today - I popped up to Laura's for an hour but other than that the day is a misty haze of I'm sure I did something but I have no idea what.

Currently I'm watching How I Met Your Mother Season 3 I *heart* this show... mostly I *heart* Neil Patrick Harris, but yeah, awesome sauce!

I Be Brain Dead...

I have been trying for the last half hour trying to think about what to post and I haven't got nothing...

So this is me, posting about nothing...

And throwing in a complaint about there being frack all on TV! *mutters darkly*

The World Is Ending...

Okay so it's not really, but I have nothing interesting, or even vaguely interesting, or even not entirely boring, to blog about today.

Should I tell knock, knock jokes? I don't think I remember any... I could dance, but no one wud see... and Marcus is in the room and I see no need to embarrass myself emmensely.

I suppose we will just have to leave this being boring... oops - oh well only 5 more days til this month is over and I can mark another thing on my 101 list off!
