i really think i might be comin' down with some kinda bug... i feel totally bunged up an' i can't even smell the gloss paint thats been used for most of the day. the bump i had on ma eye has all but disappeared ...and reappeared as a stye... i look abysmal... tired, with a wonkier eye than last week, dark circles and bags big enough to carry a weekly shop :( ...i ache ALL over an' i'm weepy ...a good nights sleep might just help but it's almost 1.30am already ...and another early start tomorrow cus ma dad is helpin' out again with tha decoratin' ...should be all finished tomorrow too ...just a few finishing touches and it's gonna look so glam ...i just wish i could be a bit more enthusiastic right now *sighs* ...tha bottles are calling to me and have been in tha steriliser for far longer than is really necessary but i've ended up havin' a wander around tha net ...i doh know how i end up in half tha places on line that i do but i did hear once that it would only take 5 clicks on links at consecutive websites to end up on a porn site??! only 5 i say ;) ...i've ended up at a 'Daily Double' site tonight [which really does sound like a porn site come to think of it *L] ...it's a simple case of copyin' an' pastin' then answerin' two even more simple questions. simple i can manage...daily i ain't so hot at ~ unless i subscribe to have tha questions mailed to me but am i really that committed?! on tha otherhand if i only head over there once a week then i doh mind sharin' a lil info so here's ma first shot:
Daily [altho' prolly more likely to be a random thing] Double:
1. Apple Juice or Orange Juice? Orange... apple is too bitter
2. Coca-Cola or Pepsi? It used to be Pepsi but now i find there is an aftertaste so Coke it is :) |  |
as for ma Pop Idol viewin' ...why is it that if you have some kinda disability ...are of a certain age ....or mebbe its a weight thing then you are probable for tha next stage of this competition?? Tonight there were 2 good singers who I think should have gone further but instead of Susanne and Hayley we end up with some bloke who i just doh remember from any previous rounds but who suddenly cries at everything and Zoe Birkett MkII ...congrats Marc an' Roxanne *ironic cheers*

ma uncle michael came to visit tonight ...he doh head up this way that often but was in some shootin' comp and thought he would use ma folks as a stop off point so he did tha rounds....poor fella *L ...we don't see him often enough to really know anything about what he does, where he been, where he at etc ... we just waffle on about ourselves and try our damndest to amuse him but its difficult and i think he feels just as awkward as we do in those silences ...why is it that just cus we are family we have to see each other ...i like tha bloke, doh get me wrong but i'm sure he had far better things to do on a Saturday night *sighs* ...he even got to sit thro' Pop Idol ...i doubt he had seen it before but it filled some time ...but Design Wars...tha was a step too far!!
POP IDOL UPDATE: woohooo!! ...tha Westlife/Ronan fella didn't get 1st place ...Kirsty did and as she seemed to be one of only a select few with a personality i am glad she came tops ...shame about Susanne but i got ma fingers crossed for tha Wild Card!

i wasn't expecting company tonight but a lil tap on tha door and 'GayJay' stepped in to keep me amused for a lil while... he didn't stop too long but we had a laugh at some pics on the 'net of overly-proud gentlmen ;) and then drank far more than we should do in such a short time ...hic!! ...that boys a bad influence [thas prolly why i like him so much *L] ...i even got a phone call [an achievement in itself!] ...from a very good friend who i've neglected lately :( ...i never meant to, just good intentions that i never follow up ~ i PROMISE to call over the weekend but i hope you are doing well *bh

i've ended up watching a couple of fantastic films tonight ...the one i saw at the cinema was called Le Divorce and i think we were there so we could be asked questions afterwards as to what we thought about it ...i loved it but i think passing it off as a cosmipolitan comedy wasn't such a great idea ...i think i enjoyed it 'cause i didn't know what to expect and only found out it was meant to be a comedy afterwards, otherwise i think i might have been disappointed but UNCUT gave it 4*s an' they know what they are talking about :) we're goin' again next week to see Young Adam for free ...not sure what the others will make of that one either but i am already looking forward to it *bg ...when i got in Ben, as perfect as he ever is, had sent up another DVD and had a cuppa tea ready and we sat down to watch The Life of David Gale ...WOW ...i don't think i have seen a film like that ever before, it was just..... wow .... but now my head hurts ...ouch  ...too much 'visual'

you've got to question an apparent straight mans sexuality  when he decides for no specific reason to go for tha BSC... tha whole caboodle... back, sack an' crack AND more ...*winces* ...but when you find out that the real reason is because the person in question is going to have it done on a live reality TV show you gotta question his sanity too!! this person happens to be tha same person who i brought to your attention last year cus he appied for Big Brother, well he did tha same this year and got thro' quite a few rounds before BB decided [wisely] against letting him on national telly... seems he knows someone who knows someone on tha production team of The Salon now an' tha poor fella is finally gonna get his 15 minutes of fame [aside from a BB eviction night this year]...i doubt it'll be long lasting tho ...just like the all over body wax!!

Polly and Lynne the Chef are goin' too an' we always have a riot when we meet up so i'm really lookin' forward to it... i really need to make it 'my shout' next time so i'd better start lookin' out for my own freebies ;)

how tha hell am i s'posed to get ma daily fix of BBusa if E4 think its bright to start showing the Salon all day instead??! i wouldn't mind but there are only another coupla weeks to go before tha end of BB now and it was making for fantastic viewing in comparison to tha normal daytime telly [and our attempt of BB this year!] ...and it is really necessary to run a second series of the Salon only 5 months after the first one?? i'da thought it was longer since but i remember watching it day in day out stuck in tha hospital so i'm not mistaken ...looks like Ricardo & Co's 15 minutes are over... your time is up... your replacements have been found!

 Now if i could just get my living room to have any resemblance of this picture then i would be laughing as that is the suite i have purchased today ... hardly bought on a whim as i have been over and over the pros and cons of each type of sofa for months now but i think i have settled for the right one... not too expensive [so i can build towards buying my tan leather sofas in tha future ;)] sturdy enough for tha kids, the right colour [cinnamon ~ its not that red in reality] not too fluffed up etc etc etc ...its exactly what i wanted :) now all i gotta do is go out and get tha right colour paint to decorate ...eurgh!! ...besides landin' maself in debt for however long it was ma mams birthday today and she was on top form [i s'pose when ya get that old it ain't worth worryin' about no more *teehee!!] well i bought her a radio and she loved it ...opened it up straight away and tuned it into tha football commentary ...might not seem much to anyone else but that really made my day :) ...of course now i gotta dash cus Pop Idol is comin' on and altho i would love to tell you that i doh really watch it ...i can't; i'm hooked and have already chosen who i want to be my new Pop Idol ~ i put ma metaphorical money on Will last year but where tha hell is he?! ...*disappears chantin' "Michelle! Michelle!"
UPDATE: wooohooo!! Michelle and Chris are tha first of tha final 50 to go thro' to tha next round... c'mon Michelle...do it for us biggies :D

i get the strangest post some days :o? i must be on every mailing list going and i get sent some awful things but this morning i think i got the most bizarre one ever!! with the opening line of the acompanying letter starting with "apparently we've got about 15 seconds to whet your appetite before you lob this in the bin as just another piece of junk mail. Oh the pressure!" ...worked on me *L ...and it knows exactly who it is marketting: "I Want One of Those" is really a lil mag full of executive toys but if you like your gadgets then this is the place to head. It can be found at www.iwantoneofthose.com and altho i haven't checked it out yet i might just pop along to see if they have anymore crazy ideas like the ones they previewed in their brochure... i never realised just how much i wanted to own a Twister duvet set ;) or my own remote control blimp *L a breathing fake cat mebbe??! or indeed... my very own ant colony *hahaha ...it might just revolutionise this years X'mas tho' ...the tagline of 'stuff you don't need... but you really, really want™' hits the nail on tha head :D

oooooooooooh...September 11th ...2 years on since the World Trade Centre bombing ...prolly not gonna be much going on on tha telly today then huh ...eurgh!!
posted by Tilly @ 12:08 AM ~
what a fuckin' awful day... it didn't start out as i had hoped... waking up after going to bed on an arguement is never a good thing but normally it just passes like it never happened.... not today :( ...the atmosphere was heavy and there was nothing i could say to make it any better... i spent most of the day chatting with my mam and looking at properties in Greece where she is hoping to move to sometime in the near future. i'd love to be completely happy for her and my dad but i'll miss them prolly more than i could ever bring myself to say to them until they are actually gone ...i wish i could be a lil more open with them about it before then! i did a mad shop before the footie came on the telly tonight and bought completely the wrong gift for ma mams birthday on Saturday so i have to go out tomorrow to rectify that before i head into town to look at suites that i can't afford only to get more miserable altho the one i do like i can afford just not right now ...Laurens room still needs decorating ...just another expense i could do without but since i was intending to do it around March time and Nina arrived i should really MAKE the time to do it now before Nina moves into Laurens room... then theres the living room, if i am going to spend a fortune on a suite then i ain't putting it straight into that room as it stands at present ...its dowdy/drab and needs a complete overhaul ...yet more expense ...arrgghh!! i'm even considering getting someone in to do the decorating in the living room cus tha thought of it is stressing me out and i'm not sure how much i can take on my shoulders before they buckle under the strain of recent events :((

i'm tired  and as much as i would love to crack on with some of the ideas that loiter in ma head i'm really considering getting a very early night ...there's so much buzzin' about in ma 'ed and i need to put some of it into practise otherwise i'm gonna start forgetting what it was that i wanted to do anyway! i'm not sure i got ma tech'ed on regardless cus i could do with catching up on some Zzzz's ~ i might be able to grab the occassional 40 winks during tha afternoon but nothing beats a full nights sleep and as i've hardly seen anyone i know on line for ages now its not like i'm gonna end up on here all night ... i s'pose folks circumstances change *sighs* ...mine too really, but have we all really gone in seperate directions?! i hope not ...but big thanks to tha "Will Cox" for keeping me comp'ny into tha wee small hours of tha mornin' ...i couldn't have done it without you ;)
well, if ya knockin' about and fancy a natter BUZZ me ...i'm here for a lil longer :)
