.....An airline hostess, after last minute change of plans and clothes we are partying. Due to reasons the mermaid costume fell threw, could'nt get help with the corsett for rocky horror so im taking you on a ride in my areoplane courstesy of the "drawer" in my wardrobe that even C.B is'nt allowed to open.

Pics tomorow....oh and roasted....your ging to love them.

Hvae a fab night everyone

We are going away (me n a mate) to Dublin next march for St Paddys day, it will be my first time flying, i'm normally fleeing as high as the moon but this time it will be legal. Have to say i am looking forward to it, Carebear is going away to Legoland with Grandma for the week so i'll be on a diet of the good stuff and instead of seeing imaginary leprachauns sitting on mushrooms i'll be seeing the real deal, we are skimping a bit and taking tents with us but i don't really care where i lay my head the fact is i will be facing a fear and knowing there will be a pint of the good stuff at the other end i can conquer it. Plus once i get over the first experience and have my passport then carebear and me can go camping anywhere we want instead of this beautiful country. I always said i would never go abroad whilst i had'nt seen all of my gorgeos Scotland bt i think weve camped in every field, swam in every loch and danced by a fire in every beach.

....My mate last Saturday night when we were out that i would loan her some money when my cheque from the lotto win cleared (this has nothing to do with the post on asking/accepting) To be honest i could really be doing with it being cleared mself as i'm skint but what with postal strike and me having a basic bank accont the cheque wont be cleared til Monday. She text me esterday and asked if i was still going to give her a loan of it, i told her yeah but the cheque won't be clear til the Monday, now she's being all weird with me, i went round last night and asked her wh she was being weird and she told me she was relling on it to buy her daughter a prezzie for her 18th which is tomorrow, i apologised told her that i wold'nt even be going to the party as i only have a tenner to see me and C.B through the weekend. Whilst thinking about it last night and feeling pretty shit that i did'nt have it i started getting really pist off, she's had 18 years to get a prezzie organised bt was rellying on me to bail her out. So now she is'nt talking to me, well she is but not ntil she comes out of this cream puff and lifts her dummy back up to her pram. I have bailed her out so many times over the years and for all she thanks me for it she has never got her act together with finances.

So i was loking forward to the party etc but to be honest i've got my eye's on a new pair of boots (hush puppies foxhound if you fancy a google search) Carebear has her big day next Thursday and i want to buy her a really nice outfit and realy make the whole day special, so i would rather spend the money on her than get pist in a hall full of teenagers. Carebears cool with the fact were not going as she's going out trick or treating with a few friends and then back to mine for a sugar filled night of spooky films and a sleepover.

I do feel crappy that the big yin feels i've let her down but as i've said it's not as if her daughter turning 18 has suddenly bitten her on the arse, she managed 2 weeks in Egupt last month and has put down a deposit to go back over new year so she can't be that short of a bob or two....but i'm going to look fab in my new boots with my brown suede skirt next thursday standing proudly beside my daughter at the Scottish Parlie

Before you hit a fit of giggles this is an honest question so drag your mind out the gutter.

So what is harder, asking for help or accepting someones help?

Have'nt completed al the written work that has to be handed in this morning, i do however have the chance to get it done for next week but as i won't be there i have no wa of changes errors or adding extra detail if needed. I could take the woman up on her offer of meeting up and helping me with it but next week is going to be chaotic and i don't know if i can fit it in.

Last night was a nightmare, i was helping out at the school disco, i hate dance music, 2 hours of the shit i endured even C.B was complaining her ears were sore, mine were bloody bleeding, why can't kids listen to proper bands instead of helium filled smurfs?

Watched XMEN never watched any of them before but have to admmit i was pretty impressed, missed the very end of it though as C.B came down stairs to tell me to turn it down, so whats the ending? And was that Kelsey Grammer that played the blue fur ball? I rather liek him as an actor so i'll be wel chufed if it was.

OOOpppps better get my butt in gear and face the wrath of not completing 3 weeks worth of homework in a week, electrics just cut out too, 3o flippin quid i put in it last thursday it's just not right, will have to phone them, since this new meter has went in my electric payments has went up by about 35% a week grrr

To wh i'm posting these pics, promise it's the last one (well kida promise i can't be defeated in the ass wars)

Now let that be an end to the arse debate

One of the pubs we visited the other night was doing that awful thing where peeps can't sing for peanuts, was over joyed when some dame got up and sang Tenacious D tune...Due to BMG not allowing me to cut and paste this was the best i could find

Had been ages since i listened to them, not really an album to be listening to when you have a 9 year old with ears around

Yip had the asesment on file and polish, another assesment next week and then thats that signed off, i do not have to resit it just do it all over again for external verifiers. I dont mind painting peoples nails but the filing thing i'm not keen on but he ho.

Having massive problems over the past few days getting into my email so if ive missed ought important i'm sorry.

Away to have erm reheated lasagne for lunch

Need to get my booty in gear, have this assesment thingy today and for all it starts in less than an hour i'm still sat in my jim jams, have lost all motivation. Had a good go at this other corse work and there is no way i'm going to get it all done by Thursday, have visitors tomorrow for the whole day so can't do it then, was at a thing last night with C.B, it's a family cooking course and for all i am a confident cook i thoght it would be nice for us both to share an experience. The cooking thing was in my old work, it's the first time i've been back there and i'm tempted to phone them up and tell them to re hire me as the place was a shocking state. Done a sneaky and took my keys that i never handed in when i left so we could access more stuff like oven trays. Anyhows we made lasagne, not as nice as what we normaly make but it saved me having to wreck my own kitchen. Right i must get up off my boney arse and get washed and dressed. It's also pissing down but hey it's scotland it's meant to rain

I have a rotten, stomach churning hangover, no idea how it happened as i was'nt mixing m drinks, stuck to pints of lager the whole night. Ifact i only had about 6 pints but i do remember having several attempts at walking up the steps outside my house at about 4 o'clock this morning. Well it would have been 3 o'clock i think..i don't know. I will blame it on the fact that several pubs were visited and not just one. In one of the pubs they also have a nightclb and the wee bird behind the bar asked if we wanted tickets for upstairs, Its a foam party you's wil love it, gave it a miss, i don't do clubbing and have no reason to want to get covered in foam on such a cold night. Half way through the evening i remembered i was meant to be at a 40th, oopsies.
Left the last pub at closing time so that must have been around 1ish then back to my mates house just to round off the night, I don't know if her plants are still alive but everytime she left the room they got feed with cider. I can't drink cider, used to in my youth but i just can't stomach it now.
A good night was had, i stayed in my bed til half 4, knowing i had to get up before carebear came home. Asked her what she wanted for her dinner, mince and tatties, there was no way on earth i could have stood over the stove and made that so shes having steak pie, mash and veg. I am on Andrews liver salts. School uniform has still to be ironed baths to be ran and all the other usual sunday night antics.
What is it wih asda? Do they watch people coming in and think oh they look nicely hungover, lets get the person with the most high pitched voice to shout random crap through the speakers, and wh why do the self scan tills shout at you, please recheck item, put item aside, place money in slot, take your shopping. Do these things not have a volume control switch?

...Has arrived, well it came yesterday. Have had plans since last julaugust that we will be going out tonight for a few beers and a catch up. Sat in on my peepod last night exchanging texts with ex boytoy..he text me first. Told him if i had'nt had made plans then i would've came through and seen him. For peeps who don't know we split up because the traveling back and fourth was horrendous, took up tp 4 hours getting home at times. So for all we are no longer together there is no ill feelings.
Big yin phones today to find out what time were ging out at, we decided on half 6, had m shower ironed my clothes, yeah i know i should have ironed then went in for a shower. Made a dinner full of carbs so the alcohol would absorb and i would'nt be mangles on 2 pints. So why the freckles am i still sat in the house at this time? cause big yin is sitting playing solitare on her pc eating a bacon sandwich and chilled out with her jim jams on. I have gave her half an hour to get her act together or else i'm just going to go and put mine on and veg infront of the box.
Now if i was in a selfish frame of mind last night i would've cancelled tonight and went through to see boytoy and stayed the weekend.
I am as you can imagine a tad peeved off

Ok so it's just my opinion. The postal strike is affecting us all. At this time of year we have came to expect it. When i worked for the council we went on strike for better pay, if you have a 1 or 2 day strike the union pay you something like 7 pound a day, if it's 3 days then the union paid you what your daily pay would be calculated as. I will be honest and say after a few one day strikes i came out the union as i could'nt aford to be loosing several days pay here and there. I was called for everything going into work when others in the same job as me were out, but unless you pay my rent and sole provider then don't even go there with me. My theory is that next week the dispute with the postal workers will be sorted to some degree as the union don't want to shelling out millions. With the Royal mail not having to pay the workers for 2 days this week and what they have accumulated in the past 2 days with interest then the workers pay rise is just about covered. The price of postage stamps have recently went up so basically the royal mail will not be running at a lose.

I have also been on many websites over the last few days looking for something and many sites are using private couriers but p&p has gone up by a few quid so even online stores are going to be effected. I am not even going to go into ebay til this dispute is over as i don't want parcels getting lost in the backlog.

I am all for the postal workers standing up for their rights as they do deliver a good service but i know with a 3 day strike pending the union bosses will be wanting this resolved even if it means back tracking a bit

I'm not sure if i'm allowed to post this under BCUK rules but i am just going to say a little on last night t.v viewing, i was one of many millions who tuned into BBC last night, i often watch this programme but made a above average attempt to watch it so i could hear for myself the views of one political party leader. He got annialated and rightly so in my opinion. I have no idea where the scots hating the english and vice versa came from, well i do i just don't know how it got installed in my young brain, I have no problems with anyone half my family are english or live there, my grandmother was Lithuanian and my grandfather russian and thats just on my mums side. Glasweigan and irish on my dads side and you all know my ex inlaws race and religion, so really i'm not even a true blood scot. I noticed this particular party leader contiually refered to his party as english even though they are British. I can honeslty say that yes he his taught to a higher education than myself but for life skills well i just got an honory degree from oxford cambridge st. andrews harvard and all the other top scholer universitys, i would not want my child to be taught by any member of his party as my child will not row up to be a repressed hating person. I wonder if he will ask to be put forward for the panel in future.

C.B has been up and down all night, i think my dreadful lurgy has gotten to her, bless her wee cotton socks she's still sleeping. Phoned her school and out of 19 pupils in her class less than half are there at present. Bit of a bugger as i really wanted to go and see the doc this morning, i was walking home from a friends house last night and the lighting is so poor that i did'nt see the uneven slabs, i fear i will have to give up on my little sannies and pumps forever and start wearing something that gives more support. When the icy days come i will no doubt become a hermit for fear of this stupid bloody ankle snapping right off. Stupid things like i will no longer be able to go hiking and such like filled my head most of the night.

Pot of homemade soup for us today i think and blankets not forgetting a box of tissues, vicks calpol.....feck i've got MANFLU

I have missed the last few classes of the Speakeasy course and i have so much to catch up on my folder is bursting at the seems and i have so much homework to catch up on that any hopes of going out for a few sherys this weekend has been put on hold. I really enjoy this course and i did dither yesterday weather to continue it as an intrest instead of going for my certificate. I will plough through as much as i possibly can over the next week and the tutor woman was lovely and said if i wanted she could come through one afternoon and help me if i get stuck or don't understand what i'm meant to be doing. I knew i was running behind in this clas but i did'nt realise i had missed so much. There is only 2 weeks of it left and i won't be at the last one as it's C.B's special da at the parlie so i'll have to do double next week along with any bits of snagging that needs done. I also have homework from the childcare course i'm doing and i have a practical assesment next week for the nail thing too. I have gave up on the assertive course as i have bitten off more than i can chew but i did'nt feel i was gaining anthing from that. Although i'm currently not in paid employment i do voluntry work 2 nights a week and my mornings are filled with various things up at the education centre, once 3 o'clock comes i am full time mum bottle washer skivvy etc. My afternoons are filled with housework ironing shopping blogland etc. I'm still doing my bit and others at the community garden. I will persever til after christmas and then reavaluate what is important and what i can shift around. Right i'm off to get my head in a book and start to weedle my way through all the work i have to catch up on.

..For all you out there who do Yoga...i applaud you, i have just had my first try at it and bloody hell why are there muscles in places there should'nt be? I have now been in positions that i thought were only used in the heat of passion but no apparently not. I am scared to unclench my butt cheeks incase something dreadful happens. I am a pretty fit chick but how do you get your head under your knees whilst standing on one leg and have your arms like your ready to kill an ex with a crossbow. Was good fun though and i might just might get a wee yoga mat for next week.

Wee update, BDA asked me yesterday how the lone parent group thing was going. I'm the kinda person that if someone says they will do it i wont push them but i did today. After finishing the speakeasy course on Thursdays then we can go ahead with it. The town hall will be made available to us aswell as the use of there kitchen so we are planning on doing it at lunchtimes for 2 hours, that way we can have different peeps in and be creative on a food budget. I have loads of ideas rolling round my head for various things to do but please feel free to give me more suggestions. This is going to an ongoing group unlike the other bits and bobs i do that only last a few weeks or months. I will also obviously share any tips i get with you all (see i do like you all) that i think will be of any use.

Hunger has arrived since my vivacios workout so am off to make some chicken fried rice .

Ok so what all of 5 minutes ago i said about being trivial well as a few said it's my space so i'll be as petty as i want.

In seriousness though i was up at a mates having tea this afternoon, she had no coffee and i could'nt be arsed going to the shop so i had tea. She was telling me that a few times when she's been taking her youngest to nursery she has seen carebear running down the steps after the school bell has rung. Since going into P.6 i have let her walk to and from school herself, she leaves the house 15-20 minutes before the bell goes and trust me it takes less than 3 minutes to walk to her school so she has plenty of time to mess about. Lately she has been going in for one of her friends but even doing this she should still get there in plenty of time. I went to meet her at school today just because my mate stays close to it and i thought it would be a nice gesture. Then i thought nah, i will just go into the office and find out how often she has been late since August. School secretary told me she will get a copy printed off and send it to me. Now if it had been a few times then i reacon Mrs whatsherface would have said but no i'm getting a full print out. Ickle me thinks i might just have to start walking her up again in the mornings as i don't want her getting a reputation of being late and at the end of the day as a parent it's my responsibility to ensure she is at school on time.

I read lots of posts on here and my problems are rather trivial compared to what others go through. My moan today was getting my nails cut but yet there are so many of you who face daily struggles. I guess what i'm trying to say is, well 1 a big thank you to all who take time out to read mine and leave lovely comments and 2 i'm really sorry to all who have deeper problems and i am of no use to you

Got this health and beauty course thing this morning, i have to decide if i want to continue after being told my nails need cut. Ok i know it does'nt sound like a big deal but it is to me, Trivial things in life get to me more than serious things. To be fair i know my pinky ones are to long as they are starting to curl a wee tad at the top. These are my pride and joy, when i done the self defense the guy told me i had natural weapons, ah know what...fuck it i'll get the tutor dame to do them all nicely shaped for the parlie visit. Then again i might just keep on my gloves so she can't see them, or i could just go back to my kip and try and get rid of the last of this lurgy.

I was toying with the idea of spending the night in Edinburger after the parlie visit, idea was go to parlie check into a travel lodge have dinner then go watch the fireworks at the Castle. Hotel i can get for 20 quid if i book it this week, eating out is'nt a problem as i know lots of cheap and cheerful places in Eddie. Thing is firework display is'nt til the 7th!!! So new plan-After come out of Parlie go to the dungeons or Queen Marys close, arrive back in Glasgow for 6ish go have dinner then go to the green and watch the display there and go to the carnival for a few shots on the rides before coming home. I just wanted to make the day as special as possible for C.B and i will do my best to ensure the whole day is fab.

If anyone else wants to come to the Green well the more the merrier

I am admiting to this only once...C.B is addicted to that stupid programme X Factor so unless i can busy myself i have to watch it. Ok i don't have to watch it and i do find Simon rather amusing...Oh btw the we guy who got kicked out last night, well we used to stay round the corner from him. Anyway what i was wanting to ask was , what the hell was Whitney on last night? I know she had a heavy pepsi habit but her eyes did'nt give the impression of pepsi, was'nt alcopops either, so what the hell was it. I wonder if she will watch it back and gringe or give herself a pat on the back? Thinking of it i think it was maybe a wee speedbomb (smack and speed), have seen the signs of that many a time but not for years, no doubt it will be in some tabloid today (pops open a new page at the daily hun)
Well that was all i wanted to say just now.

When we were away, to stop listening to ex MIL i was taking my anti d's and valium early so by the time 9 o'clock came i was so tired i coud escape her bullshit. Thing is because of that i've been waking up at silly times, went to bed late last night, thought i would sleep til maybe 10 this mrning as i took a couple of night nurse along with everything else....i've been awake since 7 o'clock. It's sunday (i think) i should be in my kip heavy zedding it.

Beofre i went away a friend gave me a bag of erm dried tomamto leaves and i have no idea where i put it, I'm convinced my mum has been in the house whilstwe were on our travels and lifted it, She does'nt smoke it but at same time does'nt like me smoking it either...i wold like to say she's doing me a good turn and in her eye's she probably thinks she is but mother dearest if you read my posts..stop touching my stuff or if you do tell me so i'm not ripping the house apart.

Do you ever have those "dreams" you know the ones that when you wake up you just want to jmp someone and get satisfied? well i've been having those dreams of late...probably to do with all the sleepers i take. Thing is it's always the same bloke and he does'nt rock my boat when i see him, infact he's the complete opposite from my type, so instead of waking up like a dog on heat it's disturbing...want to know who it is? you'll know him as he's on a rather famous english soap. MMmm actually might not tell coz you'll all piss your pants with laghter.

I don't really want to do a post full of moans and groans so i will do my best not to but no doubt a few will spill out so feel free to ignore it now

C.B had a fab time and at the end of the day we really went down so she could see her family. As i said she nw has so many aunties that i will need to find a shop in Glasgow where i can buy EID cards from to send down to her new found family. I have no idea how we managed to get home without breaking our backs although by the time we got in last night my whole body was shaking just from pulling cases and holding weekend bags.

Have also decided as has C.B that next time a weekend will suffice, a whole week was just to much, saying that since we came back C.B has been really good at picking up after herself.

One of Aunties friends came to the station with us and gave us both a present, c.b got loads a beautiful writing set and cup from Disney store and cards from Fatehias family and i got a gift card for waterstones..oh there's so many books i want at the moment that i'm spoiled for choice.

Grandma has always been good to me so bad mouthing her seems rotten but after a week of being belittled, worst being in a shop when she said an off the cuff remark infront of the till operator regarding my financial status, i am a bit of an act now think later and the thought of fuck this i'm going home tonight crossed my mind. Obviously we stayed but that was more dwn to the fact that i had took my valium with me lol. Oh and appaerntly La Senza is a cheap tacky shop and there's no way i'm a 32 b in bra size...can i add that i have been fitted in m&s, la senza and by my mum.

Grandma is a fantastic cook i have put on 4 lb in the past week and my skinny jeans are now sucked onto my legs. Honestly you should have sen the state of me trying to get them off last night, it would have been a hit on youtube.

On Thursday night i was really sick, could'nt keep anything down, i'm assuming it was because i was a greedy twat all week and my stomach could'nt hande anymore grub. I now have a bad case of the lurgy and i want to cut my nose off, not to spite my face just because it really is'nt working.

My worrys regarding christmas has been put to bed, i do a lottery sindicate with my old work place and apparently we came up trumps 550 quid each there's 12 of us in it, even though i no longer work there i still send in my 2 quid every week. It is such a bonus c.b will have a great christmas and i can decorate my bathroom and buy us both a really nice outfit (not from primark BDA) for the Parlie trip next month. Oh and i will also get another 100 euros for c.b's Greece trip next year.

Right i think i done not to bad slating anyone even though i was bursting too but that would have made me a nasty person, as i said the good outweighed the bad.

Still glad to be home and no need to thank me for bringing back a bit of sunshine

Soooo glad to be back in my ickle nest, did have a nice time and the good outweighed the bad. C.B had a fab time, totally spoiled rotten , no need for santa to visit here this year. She made loads of friends, went to birthday partys bowling cinema mosque.

Going to my kip now as i'm totally knackered, washing has been put in machine, house is clean and tidy so can have a lazy day tomorrow , will do a proper post tomorrow with all the highs and lows. Just so pleased to be in m own bed tonight and never again will i complain that i need a holiday.

Ni night peeps

I read somewhere that a company has advertised for staff to translate glasweigan for anyone outside scotland so i'm going to do part of this post in weggie.

Alrighty me muckers ra morra a will dae ma best tae catch up on aur yer blogs, if a cannie then am sorry ra noo bit whit wi o rats bin goin oan a migh struggle a wee tad. Am sure ye a will lit it pass as am noo a bad dame n i dae trie ma bestest.

Be happy peeps tis nearly ra weekend x

My name is TrulyFab and I will no longer tolerate online stalkers.

I will not feed their fire by responding to their comments or posts except in three ways:

1. I will choose to delete their offending comment if I can
2. I will ignore their comments/posts on another blog
3. And then, I will move on.

I will not give them blogging space or another thought for there are many other people here that deserve my energy and attention.

May this blogging community regain its blogging spirit and take back this community from stalkers and claim it as their own.

If you believe this as well, then copy and post this on your blog with your user name.

That is all.

Think S&G sum up how i'm feeling

Also decided no point stitching my tounge back on as i'd need to bite it several times before we get the choo choo tomorrow at 1715

Even C.B has had enough

...Trump trump trump, yip the auld body is getting a detox with all the spicy food i'm consuming. I love my currys and spices but not for breakfast lunch dinner and supper.

Went to Trafford centre yesterday, bloody hell it's huge. Went to Nando's for lunch then to the cinema to see Up and Away in 3d, was funny and sad, c.b loved it and Auntie had a wee cry. Came out of there and c.b spotted a soft play area so went in there, us grown ups were allowed on and it was hilarious crawling through holes going down mad slides and basicly falling over the mats every other minute. Was very resonably priced 2.50 for the lot of us for 45 minutes, one of aunties friends came with us so c.b was in her element and she got spoiled rotten.

C.B now has umpteen new aunties down here as my SIL has been taking her round to her friends houses and they have all fell heads over heels in love with her. She was away to a house last night as one of aunties friends had organised a wee get together for her with all neices.

I'm convined that MIL is full of shit, caught her out so many times with porkys but being me i'm just nodding my head and getting on with it, i'm sure all her wardrobe is from primark and she just goes into harvey nics and lewis's to unpick the labels before putting them on her clothes lol.

Town today, and i'm rapidly running out of £, have enough to treat them all to lunch and buy a wee gift for one of aunties friends who has been so good to C.B.

For all i'm really enjoying being away just now i really want my own bed, i can't settle in a strange bed so most mornings i've been awake since 5 and being in someone elses nest i don't want to start making coffee and walking about.

Oh i've been leaving comments off as i can't really access the tinernet and my inbox is already bursting.

One more quick groan....staying with a muslim family means so beer and i would'nt mind a wee bottle of bud tonight, not to worry it's just another thing to look forward to when i get home.

...nearly missing the train into town, we finally made it to Central sation in plenty of time to have lunch and watch the board for our departure platform. Journey down was'nt to bad, c.b was happy enough to watch a dvd while i read my book and listened to my ipod. Phoned MIL to let her know our eta and she told us that because NF was at the station Auntie would'nt be able to pick us up, Auntie as you know is asian and with her collecting two scottish milk bottles she thought we might run the risk of some abuse. We ended up getting off the train a station before and jumping a taxi...which i was totally ripped off with, i really need to learn english as scottish is obviously a foreign language to taxi drivers, hey ho we got in the house and had a steaming hot coffee waiting on the table.
C.B and Grandma are away out for the afternoon so i'm going to go have a bath and sit in the garden with a erm coffee and wee chekky smoke and noise up the students. It's fab nearly half 2 and i'm still in my jimjams.
Went to the circus last night, was funny as, i was in stitches with the clown and some of the acrobats were out of this world, C.B enjoyed herself face painted programme sweets, you name it grandma got her it, i have no idea how i am going to manage to get home with all the stuff she has accumulated over the past couple of days.
Trying to change conversations alot as i don't wnt this week turning into a bitch fest but i have learned how to count to ten and take deep breathes without being noticed. I think the world of ex MIL but ffs i don't care how much this cost and where it's from, i am happy shopping in sales and primark as far as i'm concerned that top out of Harvey Nics would feed my family for a fornight. Oh i'm being nasty but needed to vent a bit of frustration as i have no mates here and i can't really phone home and let off steam as i'd be heard.
Trafford centre tomorrow with Auntie and one of her friends, can't see me and the purse strings doing much retail therapy but i have the perfect excuse...i can't get anything else home..window shopping will do me and i've never been to he trafford centre so it will be nice just to get a feel for the place for shopping next time were down.
Not much more has been happening, oh you would think though with this being studentville i would be able to get a wireless connection but nah, using aunties PC whist there all out.
Anyway peeps hope your all feeling fit and well...loadsa a love from Madchesta

G'nite peeps, well if i don't get a signal whilst away over the boarder...you do know that technically being scotish i am leaving the country, going abroad but without a passport
We'll behave and if your not be sure to let me know all the details upon my arrival. Saying that we still have to get there yet, lost the tickets ..found the tickets..was convinced it was 1.15 we get the choo choo at but no it's 1.00 so if i had'nt checked we'd have missed it.

HAVE FUN PEEPS I'M OFF TO WHIP PICCADILY

magicfreebiesuk......another freebie site i came across the other day, new stuff added daily. I think my postman hates me as nearly everyday random stuff is being delivered and can say that i have a nice wee assortment of odds and ends that will suit just about anyone as a wee toen gift.

Ok so i've washed ironed and packed clothes for our adventure, even put in bounce sheets so my clothes keep that nice smell. Thing is i have ran out of clothes to wear, i admit to having 3 wardrobes crammed with clothes of all varietys but most of those are going out clothes not everyday wear. I'm meeting Trintrin for coffee this afternoon and i'm going to turn up in god only knows, so please accept my apologise in advance if i turn up looking like i should be holding a cup outside the savoy.

It's actually ridiculous the amount i've packed, MIL owns a washing machine so it's not as if i need a different outfit for everyday. C.B needs nothing as MIL has bought her clothes and have been told to bring nothing for her. I have 2 suitcases, one for clothes and another for shoes and my toiletries. Maybe i should re evaluate how much i really need to take.

Ah well at least i've still got enough clean knickers to get me through the day

I have been on the register for several years, this is the one and only new years resolution i have kept. Unfortunatly i could'nt give the full quota today as my blood began to clot but they still managed to get a good bit. Whilst having my choccie biccie and orange juice i picked up a leaflet for THE ANTONY NOLAN TRUST. I'm seriously considering putting my name down for bone marow and stem cell donation. The only draw back is that if choosed then it would have to be a london hospital i attended but what a great thing to do.

Several years ago i lost my nephew in a house fire, it was'nt the smoke that got him but a heart attack because he was so scared (excuse me while i dry my eyes) His heart was given to an elderly man who had a small frame..even though it was a heart attack his heart was healthy enough to be transplanted, his liver went to a young baby who would have died, his lungs and kidneys to erm i dunno. The only thing that family did'nt want donated was his eye's. Donation is a great thing and if it can help improve someones life then i'm all for it. What i don't understand is even although i'm on the donor register if i die say tomorrow my mum can over rule my wishes which i think is wrong.

I also (unless it's religious grounds) believe that if it came to it would you refuse life saving help? well would you?

In Scotland the number to phone to find your local point is 0845 30 17 2 70....or www.scotblood.co.uk.

A big thank you from me if you have'nt done it before but after reading this consider it

Never been one for it, i am me and you are you. I don't hurt anyone with my way of life. If i think it's right then it is if i don't then no-one will tell me otherwise, i listen to opinions and respect other peoples just don't expect me to change my ways or myself.

I have been told to cut my nails for this course thing i'm doing, it's so i don't scratch peeps when doing mini facials. This is not a career i'm planning on taking up i'm doing it out of interest and to give me somethng to do on a Tuesday morning. My nails are my pride and joy i think there roughly 2 inches long and i love them to much to take a pair of clippers to them. I have worked in the catering industry since i left college and never had hastle as i wear gloves and keep my nails very clean.

The woman who is our tutor has told me to get them cut down so the edge is about 5 mm above the nail bed. It ain't going to happen. Ok one broke last week but thats easily fixed by a trip to the salon and getting an acrylic put on til the nail under grows. I love my whacky colors i wear on them, there my weapon if anyone dares attack me. I know it al sounds so petty but i will not comform or is it conform to standrds of another. Rant over

Ok i'm exagerating a wee tad but it certainly has dropped, the temperature that is. I'm usually cold because of this bloody swinging brick but today i'm really feeling it. I am sitting here, heater and fire burning the lecky meter to death, have on my thick camping socks and my fluffy boot slippers and 2 cardigans. I'm contemplating closing the curtain at the front door over but feart a wee spider might drop down from the folds, (just realised it has'nt been washed in a while) all the windows are closed but i know there's air creeping in somewhere.

Got to go to the bank with C.B tomorrow and i can't find her birth lines anywhere and i'm not paying 20 quid for a new set when i know there in here somewhere. Can find her passport so hopefully they accept that.

Anyone know any good online (not downloads) sites for hidden object games? i'm fed up with the sites i'm using in other words they are no longer a challenge and they have'nt put up new ames for ages

Carebear and me were having a chat last night about various things, whilst staying at numbnuts he let her watch a scary scary she asked what would happen if both of us died. She was really upset, told her she would go stay with Granny (my mum) and that i had made sure if anything happened she would be financially fine and Granny would make sure she turned nto a beautiful young woman, also told her i was'nt planning on gong anywhere soon. Last year boytoy and i donr that stupid death clock on the tinterner....i don't wantto live til i'm 87 but that's what my result was. I'm wondering if she read my blog the other day about finances and with watching that stupid film it's put ideas in her head. Calmed her down, infact i'm sure she wanted me to drop down dead just so she could go live with my mum lol.

Then she dropped another bombshell, she no longer wants a bike for her christmas, don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with the one she has and it's of adequete height to last her another few years bt i've been saving halfords vouchers for it. Might still get her one but you know those ones that fold down and fit in a handbag....a handbag not those weekend bags the majority of you women carry around with only a lippy purse and keys in....why do you do it?

Can safely say peeps it is rather chilly outside, not snowing as i previously thought just bloody cold with a wee icey snap in the wind so wrap up warm unless yor just jumping into a car to take you to starbucks

I don't mind Mondays to be honest, it's Tuesdays that kill me. Alarm went off and as i sleep with the blinds up a bit to let lot's of air in through the night my first sight this morning was.....wait for it.......stop skipping past the full stops......i'm getting to it.....SNOW. That white cold stuff that makes the perfect man and does'nt mind that your hands are cold whilst touching his pack. That thing that was invented for sledging down the hill. That stuff that turns to slush then into dreaded ice. Well it turned out my eyes had'nt completly focused and it was the white flats across the road. Golly bet you were all thinking no it's only just October lol x

not literally but my facebook has so if anybody here is on my f/b i apologise for weird msgs etc. Had to do a password reset and i'm still trying to figure out how they tipples my password in the first place. Also last few times coming into blog i've had to enter all my details even though i have it set to go straight into blog. Well it's only me and c.b who use the lappy so no need for passwords everytime im online.

c.b's dad has found out (not that i wsa keeping it secret) that were off to his Mums for a week, he has been overly nice..me in my usual manner whilst tolerating him closed the door in his face after thanking him for bringing her home earlier than he said he would.. I was watching the footie and had a few drinks but knew if i had no more after the game i would be composmentos for her arrival home at 6, i was half cut when she appeared just after 3.

Oh do youu know, even though were not off for another 6 sleeps i have my case packed, C.B needs nothing as grandma has bought her half of m&s, should maybe take a spare case to get her stuff back home. Oh on the thursda were having a party, and weve to dress up so whilst carebears away with grandme i'm ging to run up my mermaid costume as were fancy dressing it for the party.

Right i'm away to check my myspace, bebo and badoo and see if any of them have been hacked.

...being a tim that's all i'm saying regarding todays game. Great to have the big yin back from her holibobs as it means i can watch the footie in her house instead of begging peeps to watch there sky. Seems her hols was a great success, i got this amazing keyring off her that has a fifty year calender on the back of it and it's only about 2 inches in diameter. So i get a keyring and she gets herself a 25 year old boytoy.

This time next week we shall be sitting in a big circus tent watching the Ukraine circus dudes doing there stuff. Have a full week of adventures planned, well c.b and grandma do so i'll make do with being on my todd in madchesta, have checked out a few gig venues so might see if i can swing a few guest list places from this end before heading down.

It will just be nice to get away for a week, leave the cobwebs at home and have a bit of fun for a change

I get asked that question alot, simple really Joy Division. They only came to Glasgow once and i was 3 so no chance of getting into see them and at that age i did'nt even know who they were. I reacon i have seen the majority of bands who have been around in the past 20 years. Wen to see the film CONTROL when it came out with an ex and for the last half our sitting in the cinema i had hankies at my eye's waiting on the dreadful ending. I pre ordered the dvd on amazon and still watch it on a regular basis and well up. Before puter went on the blink it was coming up to the anniversary of his demise and i had this great idea for a blog...i will save it for next year.

So peeps who would you have liked to have seen but never got the chance and will never get the chance?

That's what my lunch was, i was out with the woman i had met on one of my course, don't know if you recall my sad life bt she was the older woman who i clicked with. Anyways we had a very nice time and i listened with both ears as she told me storys of her life and family. She really is a great woman and unknowingly i have gained a sense of inspiratin from her. We have decided that we should met up at least once a month for coffee and a chat.

This afternoon i was up at C.B school as they had an open da where you can go up to the class and see there work, all very informal unlike the parents night. The classroom was roasting and as there painting the whole school it felt almost toxic. C.B looked as if she had been crying but when i looked at the other kids they were all the same. Teachers were very nice even thogh i have a dislike for one of them after a run in at an event i was helping out at but thats been swept under the carpet and we showed each other mutual respect. I can't get over the work they do, C.B should really be in p5 but was considered able enough to start a year early even though i disagreed with this. She is coping well but i wish she would take more time with her handwriting as it's a tad messy and she does write beautfully when at home as she does'nt rush. Looked at all the little projects the are doing which was fab as it gives me ideas for days out that not only will she enjoy bt also edcational.

She's due home in 5 minutes and she has a letter waiting for her from the Parlie with the invite in it...i'm dying to open it and read it but it's addressed to her so i will have to wait til she pours over it numerous times before i get a swatch.

Have got her making the beds when she comes in from school so she gets pocket money but today i set up a new bank account for her which i want her to start saving in. I have a few savings accounts for her but they all have stipulations of when she can access it so at least this way she will have her own wee book and can see for herself how much she has saved etc.

My garage is now being used by my Mums partner as the winter is coming in and his midlife crisis car can't cope with the cold. Thing is my garage was full of stuff that either needs chucked out or sold at a booty. Phoned the cleansing peeps and they tod me to leave it outside. Er when you live in little bosnia, cocrete jungle, iraq in a good day then i'm alwas a bit feart to put anything flammable out but we needed the space so out went the sofa someone was meant to come and take weeks ago. Left it at the bottom of the garden, well if the wee twats round here were going to fire it then at least it was near no wooden fences or more to the point leaning against the house. It's gone, vanished, away to a new home by 3 guys who have moved here from somewhere. Weird thing is i was ging to ask them if they wanted it as i keep seeing them walking by with frniture beds etc so i came to the conclusion they had heyhaw. The language barrier stopped me asking but hey at least someones getting the use of it.

Having a nice day today going to met a friend for lunch, have told the woman at the C.E.C that because of me having a minor blip i'm giving classes a miss this week but will go up to the garden and help get it in order for the cold snap. I don't want to be around large groups of peeps just now, Tablets the doc gave me are making me silly as in i get half way through a sentence and forget what i was on about. Just so blinkin tired during the day to function. I'm going over to see a friend tonight and get a bit of pot just to get a sleep before 5 in the morning and see if a bit of weed can help me get back into a sleep pattern.
