Monday Madness: ...its all in the timing!
1. What time is it right now? ...9.54am
2. What are you usually doing at this time on any given day? ...normally i am sat at the puter checking online accounts/eMails etc ...i'll have finished giving Nina her brekkie and she'll be happily amusing herself so i check out whats going on online whilst i have the opportunity
3. Is there a day of the week that time seems to fly by faster than the other days? ...probably Sundays... i like watching the football at 4pm but there seems to be no time before it to do anything, after it its time for tea and the whole rigmarole of bathing and bed and getting ready for school tha next day
4. If you could make ONE hour of each day twice as long, which hour of the day would you choose? ...it'd have to be either between 8am and 9am so i could lie in a lil more each morning or it would be between 1am and 2am so i could stay up a lil later without thinking it was too late *L ...now if i got both, tha'd be perfect :)
5. If you could make one DAY of the week twice as long, which day would you choose? ...Sundays, see Q3 above
6. If you could make one hour and/or one day HALF as long, which time of the day, and which day of the week would you choose? ...thas a toughie as there is nothing in particular that happens on a daily...ah... hang on.. mebbe tha hour when putting Nina to bed could be cut.. then it wouldn't seem to take so long trying to get her to sleep ...tha'd be great :)
7. Do you agree with the following statement? "The older you get, the faster time goes by."? ...i doh think so... on a day to day basis i am surprised how quickly January and February have gone but i doh think thas down to age.. i think its more about what you do and how busy you are
8. What do you usually do during your 'down time'? ...down time? is that 'my' time? if so then i cat nap, watch a film, read a book... do nothing :)
9. What one thing do you spend more time doing each day than anything else? ...waiting for 'net pages to load up... i can't believe how slow this puter is nowadays :(

i finally gave in this arvo and booked an emergency appt with tha doc about my face... apparantly i got an infection in the skin on my cheekbone and altho tha doc was sympathetic and somewhat impressed with my appearance he was more concerned with tha swelling and what underlying damage it could be doing :/ ..he had a bit of a fondle around ma head and figured my glands were all bunged up and that tha headaches wouldn't go away until tha swelling had subsided ..eurgh!! he was overly concerned with tha swelling on my eye and what damage it could be doing to tha optical nerves...ooooooh!! he wanted me to go back on Thursday [tomorrow is his day off ..typical!] ..he wants to keep an eye on matters ...teehee!! geddit?! an eye... keep an.. no? *giggles* ..keep an eye... pah .. forget it *sighs* ..i did get some pictures but for now i doh feel much like uploading them to tha 'net.. i feel like i gotta droopy eye, an Elvis top lip and that my nose ain't quite central on my face.. so all in all... i'm as pretty as a picture ;)

Monday Madness:
This week, using the letters in your name (real or screen name), list places that you've been to. Be creative! Have fun! =) ...here goes:
T ...Tenby in Wales; went there as a lil kid and stayed in a chalet. I remember the swimming costume i was bought, metallic rainbow striped and i wore it EVERY day... i musta been no older than 7 :)
I ...Isle of Man; in my mums tummy *L ...she tells me the ferry ride there was a seasick/morning sickness induced vomit fest *LOL
L ...London; I went there with the Girl Guides prolly 18 years or so ago. We stayed in a converted Victorian house where there were 4 bunkbeds to a room... we had so much fun even in the house... it was like a maze. We ventured out tho, went to the Tate Gallery, past the Palace, up The Mall and past Nelsons Column in Trafalgar Square... and even sat in St James Park having lunch with the sparrows one day. I can't remember how long that trip was, prolly only a couple of days but thats my only experience of the big city :)
L ...Llandudno in Wales; hasn't everyone been to Llandudno? I got relatives there so we used to go every summer at least. It phased out once i left tha 'rents home but i'd still love to back sometime.
Y ...York; i LOVE York. Its such an old town.. i remember my dad walking on the city walls with me and venturing down cobbled street looking in the tinyest of shop windows...we'd go there on days out in the summer holidays from school... i haven't been there in prolly over 20 years now but my sis goes on a coach with a friend every now and again and says it hasn't changed one bit *L

Monday Madness: something a lil different...
First of all, choose a letter of the alphabet.
Now, choose a number 1-10...
Got a letter? Got a number? Here's this week's challenge: Using the letter you chose, write down 2 things that describe the current season where you live:
I got Ben to choose 'cause i'd already read tha whole of tha above so i got L and 2; Lacklustre and Lazy! ...now, personally it'd be Lonely and a Liability :/ *sighs*
