ive really enjoyed my weekend with chickadee,we camped in the living room last night,yeah ok i was still on here at th eback of 12 this morning but to be fair i waited til she was asleep before venturing out the tent.
We went out to the edinburgh dungeons,i had free child entry vouches so it kind aworked out a cheap day,when you first go in you are ushered into a 17th centuary courthouse wher random people are brought to trial,i sat there hoping i wouldnt be asked to stand infront of all these strangers,i think the fact chickadee had a tight grip of me was enough fro the "judge" to leave me alone,your then ushered into another room to hear rhe story of william wallace,the story was beaten into me at school at a young age as probably all scottish school children are.You then walk through a labirynth of mirrors oh no got it wrong u walk throughthe mirrors before william wallace,ah the next part of the journey was the fire of edinburgh,i didnt really know much about that as i come from glasgow and the subject has never came up in any discussions.you then enter the anatomy section where it tells the tale of burke and hare,the actor who told the story was great and chickadee got hit with flying intestines which she thought was awesome,from ther eyou go on a dark boat ride to sawney beans cave,must admit i screamed when someone touched my head on the boat from above and managed to frighten chickadee who quickly cuddled in and never let go of me from ther on in,metting with the vampires was good the sctress looked liek a miniture amy winehouse and crept up on chickadee,one of the swanney beans family then whispered in her ear that feart children tasted best,i now have bruises on my arm from where chickadee really did grab me ha ha.and then the torture chamber,wher they showed you all the device they used back then,and can i just say they looked more effective than asbo's.and finally the gift shop,managed to get away with chickadee settling for a pen and note book which still cost a small fortune but hey ho it was a girls day out and i put money aside for it all,oh and we also got our photos taken in the stalks so had to buy that for the memory box,all in all it ws a great day out and the fact it took 2 train trips to get there made it feel as if it lasted longer.
Oh n another thing or 2 i ws so brave this morning and got rid of a huge spider now it really was huge i normally call ickle spiders huge but this thing even made a noise when it hit the bottom of the tumbler,im petrified of spiders so this was a big deal for me -

i read a blg last night about the whole palin-mcain thingy bob about not wanted young children taught about well basic sex education and as its a debate currently over here well i thought i'd have my 2 bobs worth,im all for kids to be taught about sex education at a certain age,not about the birds n bees but basic stuff about where its appropriate to be touched etc so it will bring down the numbers of children who are being molested,i also think it will make kids less self aware when there aproaching the dreaded time when they start playing doctors n nurses or the i'll show me mine if you show me yours,kids are naturally innocent in all this,in other european countrys they teach it from a young age and as britain has the highest rate of abortion and teenage mums i really do think it is a good idea.i was on a train months ago with my daughter she looked in one of my bags and found a box of tampoons so i explained to her what they were fro and how in a few years time her body would go through dramatic changes,the wee old lady sitting at the next table gave me the evils and said she was too young for that kind of talk,i dont want my daughter growing up and these things happening to her and being to embaressed about being able to come to me,and i have answered every question she has asked me truthfully,maybe its not rigt but my daughter asked me how babys were made so i simplified it so she would understand the whole concept but also empasising th epoint that it is a precious thing to have and not to be given out willy nillly.well thats me had my 2 bobs worth

Rabbling on
@ 2008-09-19 – 19:36:11
because al my pals have ditched me tonite to go to a birthday party that im unable to go too as i have a mother and daughter weekend planned,so if this makes any sense i'll be well chuffed
1-im a bad influence-apparently my little cousins girlfriend thinks im a bad influence on him,she cheated on him a few years back and he kicked her out the flat and me n him became thick as thieves once more,last year i asked him if he wanted to go to a charlatans gig n i would get the tickets,after getting them he texted me n asked if i'd get one for her but as i'd already left the ticket shop and just spent £60 on them and £40 on other tickets i told him that i'd need to do it nxt wk as i had no £ left,she went in a stroop and said it was because i didnt like her,i really wouldve got her a ticket but she was rude about it and i told her that if she really wanted to go then she'd need to get her own as i was busy the following wknd,so little cousin came down with a ticket for a diffrent gig for me tonite,im the only girl going and he told me not to tell her i was going as she would throw a wobbly because im a bad influence,i dont have much time for her,talking to her is hard work,one word answers etc,i think its funny to be honest,but i really should make more of an effort for her to like me as me cousin are more like brother and sister than cousins
2-got my tumble dryer on at the moment and just realised that the back door is shut so there is damp marks all over my wallpaper in the kitchen and one bit in particular that looks as if its ready to slide off the wall,also the posters i have in the kitchen are going that crimpled damp way which isnt good (must remember im no longer a student and take down posters)
3-im taking my daughter to the edinburgh dungeons tomorrow,blowing boytoy off for the weekend and having quality time with chickadee instead,she goes to her dads most weekends so hardly see her never mind do stuff with her,yes ok we go swimming once a week.go out for dinner once a week and either play a game or read to each other each night but i feel that i dont see much of her and as its coming up to santa time (if she still believes i'll be well amazed) need to start saving for what ever 8 year olds want.
4-being doing a bit of over time at work,i was forced into it,was told that i had to do it and as im doing that im leaving one job at 11 running for a bus starting another job at half 11 leaving ther at 2 and running to another job for haf 2,i get home roughly about 6 o'clock so from half 7 til 6 im not eating anything and finding that im loosing weight,im only 8 stone as it is and if i drop below 7 then i'l and up ill,told work i needed time off to see the doctor to get my iron levels checked,the bastards laughed and said im being silly.
5-its friday and im enjoying a nice glass of vodka,all washing has been done for monday morning,chickadee is at a friends for dinner so i can relax infront of the stereo with a book i dont normally read-Diary of a demented housewife,i prefer dark books with a few juicy murders and a decent storyline but im finding this very light hearted to read.
6-chickadee has just came in to tell me her mobile phones all sticky and stuck it under the tap to wash it,hilarious,told the sperm donor she was too young for one but he says "well how else do i contact her" er try phoning the house or phoning my phone
7-just spent longer fixing typing errors than i did typing the whole feckin blog -
Missed But Not Forgot
@ 2008-09-16 – 17:43:11
After spendng the day yesterday running around without seeing the news reading a paper or being anywhere near the net i cannot explain the feelings that ran through my blood this morning when i heard that Richard Wright had passed away,only the other week i had a conversation with a friend about floyd reuniting,i never ever get my hopes built up when i hear these kind of rumours,Mr Wright brought us one of the best albums that floyd done (well in my opinion) he will be sadly missed by all floyd fans,i only hope that his death may be the time that Mr Mason,Mr Gilmour and Mr Waters can put there diffrences aside as they did when Syd past away.I am in no way trying to convince myself that they will reunite,Led Zep split after Mr Bonhams death and i think they sould have left there history of music where it came from the same as Pink Floyd should

My Weekend
@ 2008-09-14 – 16:28:50
Went through to see the boytoy on friday after work with the intentions of getting back cd's n dvd's and any other bits n bobs i had through there,well i came back with the cd's but left the rest as i do think that i'll be going back through,i think not to sure yet but i do think that im only continuing this weird relationship because were going to a few gigs together that are already paid for and its bands i really want to see plus i want to check out the venue thats opened through there.So Friday night a few drinks and a smoke,saturday,well i wsa ging to go home a si had a few things to get done but ended up so stoned that the thought of actually asking fro a train ticket scared me as the most i could say was goo goo gah gah,had an ealy night on saturda and up n dressed early to get home before the grand prix,which ive just realised ive missed because my cousin came down and i done my ironing when i was speaking to him.no one tell me the result i'll watch it later on some channel or other.so thats been my weekend,boring but with some good sex thrown in for good luck maybe its the sex i keep going back fro and not the fact we have tickets for random bands,not sure may need to sleep on it and try n figure it out

Vegtable Soup
@ 2008-09-09 – 18:06:56
Took my pain killers that the doctor gave me last night and was in bed within half an hour as they made me feel quessy,so had a fab plan this morning as i had no bread for toast and you have to take these tablets with food i decided that a bowl of vegetable soup wsa in order and that by the time the soup went down and the tablets kicked in i would be in work and running to the loo and hear my boss shout at me to go home,but no it never happened,yes i did feel sick and i was rather green around the gills,boss told me to go do a stock take so the kids didnt see me and if i was to be ill then to make sure i cleaned up after myself. Last week i was loaded with the cold and battled on this week its my dodgy shoulder and im being made to battle on.

Great Ideas
@ 2008-09-08 – 17:48:25
Oh what a night Friday turned out to be,after convincing myself that a quiet weekend was in order i went on msn to chat with a few friends after an hour i was on the train and heading into town,i had totally convinced myself that i wasnt going out to play but it was the weekend and i did have a few narcotics in my possesion that were crying out to be consumed.Well as you may or may not know the best ideas are always made when the mind is in an altered state.As you may know my cool ickle rock chick of a daughter experienced her first festival so to make it totally memorable i took a photo of her muddy wellies and sent it to a friend who does my ink work and weve decided that it will look amazing etched onto the side of my leg,i kinda recall saying that i was stopping ink work getting done but this is just to good an idea to put to the back of my mind and the fact i even remembered on saturday afternoon is a total bonus.
Oh yeah doctor never gave me a sickline instead i got really strong pain killers that means i cannot drive or use machinery!!! and now for the ironic bit,i do not like taking any form of drug while im the sole responsibility of cool rock chick child,oh well never mind she goes to her sperm donor ooppsies her fathers on friday so i think it wil be a quiet one this weekend as i'll be as stoned as an elephant in front of the t.v. -
Monday Morning Excuses
@ 2008-09-08 – 10:11:56
After a bit of a wild weekend i woke up to the alarm clock going off and at least 5 excuses entered my head for throwing a sickie,but after realising i wouldnt get paid from 1 job for being off i dragged my ickle ass out of bed and went n got washed and dressed then woke up the grumpy child,im a morning person she a night person.Anyways after getting her breakfast sorted and putting her uniform out i went to wash my hair and oh happy days pulled my shoulder and im now in terrible pain,i have pins holding my shoulder and back together after ripping the muscles when i ws a teenager so there we go shoulder popped out then quickly went back into place and basically im only here til the doctors appointment at half ten,fingers crossed he gives me srong pain killers and if he offers me a sick line i'll take it and then consider if i'm in a fit state to work,my job requires alot of heavy lifting so well i might just have to be skint for a few weeks til it gets better.
Moral of my story today....dont wish il health on yourself for an extra hour or 2 in bed. -

Just need to get my CD'S & DVD'S back before i tell him,last time i heard from him was last sunday and to be honest even though i have a multitude of tattoo's i dont have one that says dormat.I know he has manic depresion but by not even texting is a bit harsh on me,i really am a nice person but when someone close (allagedly) treats you like poo then a bit of that niceness get staken away and i dont want to be a bitter person who thinks that the worlds out to use her

So Impressed
@ 2008-09-01 – 20:24:53
With the hydro connect festival,its a very family friendly festival,i havent stopped raving about it all day to people in my work,there were no neds (chavs) no throwing of bottles or cups of wee,there was a bit full of picnic bences,a whisky bar,an oyster bar,2 stages and numerous tents pls a spa,they even gave us ponco's when we arrived as it was raining,how lovely and sweet the place was,ive never beeen to a civilised festival before.you didnt have to ask people to move as there was plenty of space it really is a great place to take kids too.
Didnt see alot of bands just mainly the ones we went fro although we did watch a few in the unsigned stage (my apologies there was 2 biggish stages and an ickle un) and watch another few in the speakeasy cafe,which at night when the music finishes turns into a comedy tent and they sold real filter coffee and none of that rip off powdered crap.
Even though it rained through the day it really didnt put a dampner on things we laughed at the kids wellies getting stuck in the mud so they didnt get frustrated we climed trees (not allowed to do that apparently) My daughter got high shoulders and she rocked ive never seen her so overwhemled and excited at the same time,and as fro Gomez well there her new favorite band of all time.
Had a bit of an upset with the boytoy though,on the way up he was speaking about plans for his 30th and told me that he was going to have a party the saturday before it,i had asked him ages ago if he wanted gig tickets to dirty pretty things for that date and he said no so i just got tickets fro me and a mate so when i reminded him of this he went in a bit of a strop,last week he told me how he was going out for a family meal around about teh time of his birthday and he mentioned loads of peeps apart from me but i was mature about it (well in frot of him anyway) so as he was kindly telling me how let down he felt about me going out with mimi i gently reminded him thta the previous day we had spoke four times on the phone and nevr once wished me a happy birthday,thank god the bus took an hour and forty minutes as the stroops were out the way by the time we got to invarary.
But honestly peeps its a great place to go if youve got kids and love music the atmospheres superb and every one is very very friendly.
