I Lied and now I'm Ranting

Hey everyone,

So I lied about this entry!!  In the previous entry I said I would carry on telling you about my adventures well I feel the need to rant so this has to take priority ;-)

Everything has gone from bad to worse and why is it when you need a damn good cry you can't do it??  Over the past two days I've felt VERY emotional whilst listening to music and wanted to cry but have stopped myself!!  Why??  Well the first time I wanted to cry over Friends Will Be Friends and as I was listening to the MP3 player at the time arriving at work I figured it was not a good time.

Yesterday when I got home from work I turned on my TV.  Channel 4 is fuzzy but there's still a picture and sound, ITV was fuzzy but there was no sound and the same was happening to BBC1 & 2 :(  I usually watch the soaps and eat my tea at the same time and coz I could only watch the picture to Eastenders and not hear anything this depressed me further!!  (I should mention my TV has done this before but it would usually sort itself out in about 1/2 an hour, but not so yesterday!!)

So I log on and visit a few websites - I have a message on Myspace that I wanted to read but kept getting their godforsaken error message so I couldn't read it!!  At the same time I thought I would check out Youtube ~ lately that's been loading in the vids, playing about a minute and then closing down.  Last night I was watching some Foo's videos and during one, felt like crying again *shakes head in disbelief* It certainly wasn't a sad song but I was just feelin' very low at the time I think!!

Today my TV is no better and I managed to have a bit of a cry before tea but certainly nothing to make me feel better :(  Neither Wayne or Trina could cheer me up!!

The moral of this story is I'm cold and fed up!! 

On a slightly happier note ~ if there is one ~ had a thought towards Trina's xmas present!!  So that's a couple of ideas swimming in my head but it's not a great one, but due to lack of anything else I have to go with it!!

Also on a happier note I have discovered a new game on Kafka :)    The packing coloured boxes one into the vans - the downside is it doesn't work fast enough on my computer so I shall have to save it for lunch breaks lol

Right I better go and figure out whether I can afford a new TV ~ I've missed Enders and Holby City tonight - god help me on Thursday when Catherine Tate and Never Mind The Buzzcocks is on I shall be very depressed!!

Well I'm gonna take my miserable self off before I bring you down too.....................

Take care friends xx

Stuff to do!!

Evenin' all :)  How are you??  How true is that statement LOL

Me ~ I'm ok ~ just thought I should do another entry and bring you slightly up to date considering it's a long time since the last one (well before that colourgenics thing ;)

So anyway were to start??  It's cold ain't it??  I actually had a bit of a cold over the last week, started off with a sore throat on Monday and still had that till Wednesday, thought I was gettin' better and woke up Thursday not being able to breath :(  Friday night I didn't sleep very much and Saturday I felt better again - very odd!!  Today I have been coughing well, hey ho.................

Work is going okay ~ same as usual really boring LOL...............actually many changes are taking place which I feel I should be concerned about but at the end of the day as long as the rent is paid I don't tend to care!!  That's probably the reason why when my colleagues are talking about cases I tend to switch off and not pay too much attention (when I know I should)..................I guess it just goes to show that life for me does not start and end at the work place LOL..............I'm thinking we'll see what happens in the New Year and if it get's too bad then I shall seriously consider looking for something else.  Well I have been there for two years now ~ freaky!!

Not been to anymore gigs or adventures lately ~ there are things to look forward to so it's not all bleak on the horizon ;)  On Saturday Trina, Wayne and I are going to see Miss Fairy in one of her plays :)  Should be good fun, then the following week Ga Ga the tribute band are playing in town and most of our mates are coming ~ last checked Trina had managed to get 16 tix for people!!   Then at the end of the month I'm hopefully going to Trina's for the weekend as she and hubby will be in Sweden at an Iron Maiden gig *not my cup of tea to be honest* and I shall be looking after the Devil spawn cat and his brother :) 

I've started calling Dibley the Devil because when I was last at Trina's, I had been playing with him when he lied down and looked like he wanted a stroke.  I said to Trina he's gonna pounce on me and she was like no he isn't so I went to stroke him and he clawed me :(  My wound is still in the process of healing!!  Devil I tell you ;)

I wrote to my aunty the other day and asked her for some information on the area where gran's retirement home is, thinking she would know coz she goes to visit often, plus I don't want to ask my dad!!  I got a letter back the other day saying she had rung Bedford tourist board for me who were sending some information ~ bless her :)  I did get a magazine too ~ so that's something else I should be looking into!!  Bit worried about going all that way on my own but I expect I'll be fine...........

I'd also like to start my family tree - when I met up with Mum and Meggy *waves to them* the other week, mum and I had a long chat about her side of the family and what she knew of dad's and it sounds v. interesting ~ especially as there is possible family out there that I didn't know about!!  I have no idea where to start though...................I shall have to have a look around and see what I can find out :)

Well I don't wanna droan on anymore so I think I shall leave it here and retire bedwards ;)  Oooooooooooo before I forget Trina's xmas present!!  Last year I did her the year book which some of you may remember coz I wasn't updating for a whole month or so!!  Well I have no idea what to do this year................I can't do the same coz that would be boring but I outdid myself last year and I don't know how to top it........if any of you can think of something please email me and let me know xx  PLEASE DON'T WRITE IT IN THE COMMENTS SECTION COZ SHE MIGHT READ IT ;)  Thanks peeps.............*sorry about the caps*

Well I better had go now...............

Till next time ~ next entry shall carry on with my adventures!!

Take care xx

Results

Hey everyone,  I am still here - stop groaning you in the back :-P  I will do a proper entry at some point - so much more to tell you from my adventures this year!!  Anyhoo....Tonight I've taken part in the colorgenics (I think that's how it's spelt) test and thought I'd share my results with you :-)

 


You have always longed for tenderness, love and a sensitivity of feeling into which you would like to blend. You are a very gentle warm person and responsive to 'All things bright and beautiful'. This personifies a caring person, a person who 'needs' and indeed 'needs to be needed'.

Enough is enough. Nothing seems to be working out as you would like it to and it has got to the stage where you feel as if you can't be bothered anymore. The way you feel is that it would be great if you could be cut off from everything and take it easy - be it only for a short time.

At times one is burdened with more than one's fair share of problems and this would appear to be your situation at present. But you are adamant - you know what you wish to achieve - and by giving a little and taking a little you may well find that the realization of your dreams could become a reality.

You are being unduly influenced by the situation that is all around you. You do not like the feeling of loneliness and whatever it is that seems to separate you from others. You know that life can be wonderful and you are anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to live it to the full. You therefore resent any restriction or limitations that are being imposed on you and you insist on going it alone.

You wish to be left in peace... no more conflict and no more differences of opinion. In fact you just don't want to be involved in arguments of any shape or form. All you want is for 'them' to get on with it - and to leave you alone

 

Speak more soon xx

Good shoes won't save ya this time!!

Hiya everyone :-)  Odd title huh?? It's from the song I'm listening too ........... the line goes 'hair cuts hot but this has got to stop, good shoes won't save you this time' LOL I love that!!

How are you all?? I'm ok thanks for asking LOL........ God what an awful day weather wise. I was woken up at 7ish by heavy rain and by heavy rain I mean like a waterfall out of sky!! I managed to drift off  until my alarm went at 9ish but then we had a thunder storm and the heavy rain continued. It's funny really because they've threatened heavy rain and thunder for ages for the southwest and now we've had the battering!! It appears that there's more to come which I'm not looking forward too...........especially if it's tomorrow morning!! I have to take a big bag to work tomorrow with my clothes for my time away and if I have to take a big umbrella too I shan't be amused!! Keep those fingers crossed for me peeps.....

Yesterday I went to visit mum and Megan!! Whilst I was walking up to mum's house I passed a bloke wearing a Paul Rodgers t-shirt - this made me smile  and I wanted to ask if he was going to the gig in Bristol on Friday but I didn't act quick enough and he walked away!! Megan was cool (everyone say hi to her - apparently she's an avid reader of my journal  :-) Apparently and I have to tell you guys this but she's written about me at school. She had to write about her family and for her sister (that's me ;-) she wrote that I'm silly, nutty and funny  - that's not a bad little write up is it?? Bless her!! We had a good day, went round town (I brought a few things even though I couldn't afford them lol), went back to mum's and played Simpsons top trumps (which I won :-) Then I came on home and managed to catch a train straight away, but it took me an hour and a half to actually get home!! The train ride takes about 1/2 an hour and then I had to wait for a bus into town and I walked home from there. It wasn't such a great idea as it was dark but I wanted to save some money - stupid girl!! Got home just before it started pouring!! Then my neighbours started making loadsa noise and that bugged me coz I was trying to watch Casualty LOL God knows what they were doing!!

Today I've not been doing anything but trying to catch up on journals and every other website that I have been neglecting like the paul rodgers forum LOL........I've also been listening to some really awesome bands on myspace - it's free and you get to hear some good stuff!! Let's see what've I been listening to?? Well......Queens of the Stone Age, The Automatic (who listed Queen as an influence......how cool), Nirvana (lol @ funny Wayne story regarding them.....Trina will know what I'm talking about but I can't tell you as it would embarass him lol), Yeah Yeah Yeah's, Placebo, Muse, Foo Fighters, Taylor Hawkins and the Coatail Riders, and tons more!! The tons more where the poppy ones that I just won't mention lol I definitely recommend those bands that I've mentioned though and I've started a list of albums I really should get, will come in handy when anybody asks me what I want for xmas LOL

It's funny really but I'm lookin' forward to seeing Paul :-) that I completely forget we're going to see Paddy tomorrow and I have to pack for that too!! I've added a few Bad Company and Free tracks to my MP3 player list and I'm enjoying them - especially Bad Company definitely becoming one of my new fave songs!! I have very little collection of Paul's but I can't wait for the gig and to see some friends who are all gonna be there - it's gonna be great!!

Well I guess I should really go and pack instead of wasting time lol not that I think writing my journal is wasting time - far from it ;-) There's one thing I won't be packing is the Q magazine I brought on Saturday!! I won't go into this hatred I now have for that mag but let's just say that Q and my own stupidity don't mix!! We'll leave it there before I fly into a rage of despair at myself LOL

Right not gonna bore you with my non-news anymore!!

Take care peeps - have a good week and I warn you I'll get very behind with alerts again sorry about that!! Should turn them off really but I don't wanna miss a thing lol - bye for now xx

Edited to add I forgot to tell you about the woolworths woman - Megan and I were moaning at each other like we usually do and I picked up a mug and said 'this is what you make me feel', on it was written Stressed.  LOL and a woman who works there walked passed and said 'Ahhhh that's not very good you making your mum feel stressed is it'  - well that was it Megan and I were in fits of giggles!!  LOL silly woman!!  Thought you might like that!!

Lot's of stuff

Hello everyone *waves*  How are you all??  First off I was gonna moan that I couldn't access my comments but I can so never mind about that lol

Well I shall start off instead by saying:

to our dear Sandra for getting the job at the garden centre :-)  I knew she could do and I love this animation and felt I should use it in this case - well done girl xx *hugs*

Right I promised to tell you what I was up to next week - actually I'll leave that till the end of the entry for something to look forward to lol ;-)  Mind you I don't know what else to talk about!!

Trina and Wayne came round last night - I actually haven't seen them for a couple of weeks *shock horror* and we all had CHIPPY tea :-)  It deserves a mention in capital letters lol...........It was a good laugh too bless 'em!!  Next time I will see them is Monday wohoo (more later lol)

My week has been pretty good - that case I was moaning about in my last entry well her rep has rung and said she's paid some money - not enough but it's a start and she's adamant it's gone from her bank account - we can't find it!!  On any system anywhere - good news is team leader is now dealing with it *evil laughter* *phew* LOL   The rest of us have got to the stage where there is no work and we've still got tomorrow and 4 days next week before the accounts arrive.  But I have two days off next week woohoo (more later ;-)

P is a star she's made us muffins coz apparently the mix goes out of date soon lol..........mmmmm..........they were nice and I think we have more tomorrow :-) 

I'm going to see mum on saturday and i worked out my finances earlier (good news I can log into my banking again *yay*) and I don't think I can really afford it but who cares??  I wanna seemum and Megs!!

What else is there to tell you about??  hmmmmm...............oh yeah next week lol

On Monday Trina, Wayne and myself are heading to Plymouth to see Patrick McGuinness live :-)  *jen's looking forward to that and will try for a pic *girly giggle* (Note to those who are interested I had an email today who says Peter Kay will tour soon whether this is true I don't know - I'll keep you posted ;-)  On Tuesday Trina and I are heading to London and the Royal Albert Hall to see Paul Rodgers live :-) He won't know what's hit him during this tour I swear - so many Queen fans are going - bless him.  We're staying with Jamie and meeting up with lots of friends I think - should be good.  (Note to Debs if your free Wednesday do you wanna meet up?  For a tea or something??  I would say coffee but I don't drink it LOL)  On Friday Trina and I are to Bristol to see Paul Rodgers live again and the whole of the 2nd/3rd/4th or something row is taken up by all of us - it's gonna be insane!!  On Saturday we're all heading up to London and the Dominion to see WWRY AGAIN!!  LOL Brian and Roger said they would turn up but I doubt if they will!! 

You see everyone brought tix to the show for the Saturday viewing coz we were informed (wrongly) that the show was finishing at the Dominion on that date.  Now everyone's brought the tix and they decide to run for another year but did promise they would do something special anyway - we don't wait with baited breath lol

So that's it - my travels for another week LOL  when P asked about my two days off she said 'where's the concert this time?'  I said 'London' we laughed - Trina reckons they know me so well now LOL

Anyhoo I think I've bored you enough and there's other stuff I wanna do!!

Take care everyone xx
