if this isn't a pure example of how my life runs on a day to day basis then i don't know what is: Ben worked all last weekend and to make it up to me he decided to take tonight off work ....only i've been ill [floored i think is an appropriate expression] all day i woke up with a headache...nothing impressive ~ i was hoping to sleep it off ...mid afternoon Ben took Lauren out shopping and Nina was asleep so i thought i would do the same as my head was still pounding but as soon as Ben had closed the door Nina woke up :( i managed to keep her amused for about 10 minutes before she kicked off and i ended up feeding her out of sheer desperation! then the phone rang ...a friend was having a 'HotPot Supper' this evening for his birthday and i was hoping to be feel well enough to at least pop along for some grub and a coupla bevvies ...hic!! i finally managed to grab 40 winks before there was someone knocking at the door [i still have no clue cus i didn't answer it] but after having a lil weep cus of how rough i was feeling Ben arrived back laden with bags... i tried to show an interest but i coulda crawled into a lil hole and cried like a baby at this point :( then up turns a new washing machine ...hurray...altho i could have done without 2 hours of banging whilst it was fitted *sobs* ...it was getting on for 8 o'clock and tha supper was looking less likely by now *sulks* ...i've had tea since and a warm bath in tha dark and am feeling just a tadge better... now i'm playing with ma new toys: a digital camera and a mouse that works ...woohoo!!

if you see me you'd be wise to give me a wide berth ...i'm in rant mode and am not accountable for my actions!!!

i think i am going doo-lally last week tha washing machine definitely broke...i know-so cus i wrote about it on here but today after doing another handwash [an' having hands resemblin' sandpaper ...like ma face *L] i threw some stuff in tha machine so it could sit in tha water and soak for a while but tha cycle completed?! of course i grabbed what i could and threw it in tha machine hoping to get another wash outta it before it realised but its not looking promising as it chuggs away while i type this... i just hope its not like this for too long...if ya gonna break then break but doh hold out just a lil giving me hope! already the school summer holidays are coming to a close, Lauren has only 5 more days before she goes into Yr5 and her new uniform is looking pristine hung up in her bedroom ...wonder how long that will last *sighs*

i'm feeling just a lil stressed tonight... i could do with chatting to a complete stranger and getting it all off ma chest. it's been a long time since i did the chat scene but i might just do that tonight: wander into a new chat... spill ma guts and then never go back... i'd chat to Ben but he's tired and weary, hungry and bored ...it's the final night of Mardi Gras and he's clocked up just over 50 hours since Thursday evening ...only 11 more to go then its back to 'normal' on Thursday

why is it i never manage to get an early night no matter how early i am ready for bed?! i had nothing to do this evening and if it wasn't for my sister calling over on spec then i'd prolly have been ready for bed even earlier. bens working again and ma bro-in-lo' was out on tha town topping up his hangover from last night so ma sis popped in and left with more than she bargained for *L ...yet again [am sure i posted about this sometime last year] my washing machine is on the blink ... put in tha wash, put in tha powder, flick tha switch and it fills with water then...nothing *sobs* ...tha water just sits there, doesn't even swish around a lil bit i've managed to get tha washing out by tweakin' tha dial but since i moved tha machine tha other day its having none of it ...oh, did i forget to mention that i lifted it and moved it *L ...might have something to do with it huh?! ;) well its yet another Bank Holiday so i ain't doing anything about it til Tuesday at the earliest but scraping baby puke off clothes and hand washing them isn't ideal :( i LOVE ma sis... she's taken a bag of essentials and plans to have them back by tomorrow afternoon ...thing is...in tha meantime if you see me, doh be giving me a wedgie cus there ain't nothing to wedge okay!!
i've also been dabbling a lil with my pages [i really need to complete this revamp] but i hit a whopping inclination brickwall and went on a bit of a wander instead for solutions to my problems [as if i could find all those answers in one night *teehee!] i ended up here Codeline Alley - Scripting and Web Resources Message Board [bit of a poncy "alt" if y'ask me ;)] but c'mon ~ update man ...how'd you expect me to crack on if you doh give me tha answers *LOL
one last thing before i get shot: happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Big T!ts ;) happy birthday to youuuuu!! :)
NOTE TO SELF: when taking peoples change of address DO NOT write them on the weekly TV guide ~ doh!!

i've been totally lazy today. Ben left at 10.30am, and I jumped back into bed for another 30 minutes before kick off [Man U top of tha table already *bg] Nina slept until after the football had finished an' then myself, Nina and Lauren all went for an afternoon nap *haha ...we crawled outta bed this time around 5pm an' decided on take-out pizza for tea :) ...no cookin' :) hardly any pots to wash :D ...perfect! 'bout Ben working Mardi Gras tho' ...he thought he'd spotted an old friend tonight. at first he said he wasn't sure cus she looked dog rough but he didn't get a second look so couldn't be positive, he just rang me and explained tha reason he couldn't spot her in tha crowds was cus she had gone into tha bar he was working at *L ...he walks in and she's sat there...and he's introduced to her girlfriend you see the hubby had an affair, left her an' tha kids, got someone else, had another kid, didn't take her shit ...altho' he was just as bad as she was ...it musta hit her harder than we thought *LOL ...you might think that LOLin' about it ain't too nice but then...neither was she ...weirdly, i'd go so far as to say she was once my closest friend, and i missed her like crazy when she first changed... i couldn't chat to anyone like i could to her... about anything from tha price of a pint of milk to tha latest goings on in tha government ...she was bright...but she got bitter and nasty :( she used folks, didn't keep to her word and went a lil off tha rails even! needless to say she wasn't pleasant to have around and i told her so in the end when she rang outta tha blue and said she wanted to catch up an' could she stop here tha night. i was looking forward to it, it was great having someone to chat to who wouldn't see their arse if i didn't agree with their opinion ;) well that night never happened [she only wanted someplace to kip for tha night] and i didn't return tha mails either...i just didn't see tha point! an' i never did understand takin' an 8 year old to see Marilyn Manson in concert an' mebbe at that point i shoulda realised that we'd just gone different ways but..... *sighs* ...no ta!

i keep seeing adverts on tha telly for a programme called 'Masters and Servants' and its prompted me even to have a wee rant about it ... i watched the first episode last week and was looking forward to it... simple as: two families, one week, one family the servants the other the masters for first half of week then vice versa ...or so you would think. i missed the first 5 minutes of the programme but was trying to weigh up the pros and cons of being the servant or master first ~ how wrong was i??! i figured that if you were the servant for the first part then surely you could get your own back in the second part if your master was totally OTT with you...right? well, from what i saw there are a few flaws in this as the first family to be servants [Family A] were used and abused by their masters [Family B] who lived in a mansion no less. Family A had to arrange a party for 30 children and supervise that whilst serving afternoon drinks to the parents of those 30 children and on top of that had to cook and serve for a dinner party ...using a camping stove as the AGA cooker had gone on the blink, and on their own Family A's 2 young boys were made to polish the wooden floors by hand *sighs* thas not on i'd say, so you'd think when the time came to change that the servants [or slaves as i got to call them] would have a chance to get their own back ....WRONG!! Family B now had to move into the property owned by Family B ...a largeish Victorian terraced house...hardly a comparison! the previous Lady of the Manor decided that she wasn't cut out for cleaning and moved back home after being asked by her Master to run him a bath *LOL ...incredible *shakes ma 'ed*

i'm absolutely drained ...it's been an emotional few days, more so than normal, and i've just got back from tha 'rents house where we had a lovely bar-b-que in tha garden, sat around chatting, eating great food lovingly prepared by ma dad who's request to be known as chef for the evening didn't pass us by ;) Ben had to leave early to go to work for the longest shift ever due to Mardi Gras week sneakin' up on us so he was grateful of a variety of meat products and a can of lager in the meantime. food scoffed and the rest of us lazed in the garden and caught up on tha latest ...Nina's sudden growth spurt :) Lauren's sudden growth spurt :( ...tha fact that ma bro-in-lo' is being shipped of to Dubai for 3 weeks, the general nastiness of some folk and finally tha 'C' word: Conservatory ...but doh mention that to ma sis, she doh need anymore of a headache about her neighbours home improvements and we had a laff at her neighbours expense after the eyeful ma dad got when he went into my sister's garden for a smoke an' peered over tha fence to see tha sorta thing you'd normally only get to see if adult movies :o *rotflmfao!! It started to get a bit chilly so we headed indoors an' ma dad, who was trying to figure out how to get a counter to show on his video recorder, was about to show me The Who in concert that he taped off tha telly [new TV with dolby etc ~ he's impressed, bless him *L] when we remembered The Premiership was back on tha box with Des "Wine 'Em, Dine 'Em" Lynam *giggles* ....oh how i missed ma boys on a Saturday night *sighs*

i was sat around doin' absolutely nothin' earlier [ma girls were both tucked up in bed an' no one was comin' out to play] when i got a BUZZ on ma 'puter from ma "Money Makin' Man" ...i was considering loggin' off an' havin' an early night 'til that point but ended up chattin' on tha telephone instead ...we've only just done chattin' an' prolly could have gone on for a lot longer if he didn't have to get up for work in less than 4 hours ...oops ~ sorry its great that after 3 years, mebbe almost 4 now, we still keep in touch after we first met on line in LD back in tha day *sighs* ...whats even better is that we seem to be on tha same wave length about most thing but whats truly great about him is that it wouldn't matter if we weren't cus he doh mind if we doh agree... and we're both prepared to listen to tha others opinions and it ain't gonna make us fall out if we doh happen to end up thinkin' tha same way ....oh, ain't it nice to be an adult with a lil depth .... *gasps* shallow i heard you say ...tut tut ...thas not very nice now is it *teehee!! ...ooooh miaaoow!!

it's amazin' what chattin' on tha phone to someone who makes you feel appreciated can do *vbg
