There’s a bug going round!!!

Well this weekend has been eventful to say the least. It all started Friday day time. Me and Lee went for a massive shop and it was manic. We did a big food shop and that wasn’t very easy because Leyla was grumpy and was trying to eat the whole contents of the trolley. We went into Sutton after which was a change for me because i normally go into Mansfield. I ended up in Dorothy Perkins and spent £120 which was very naughty of me but i got some great stuff!!

                                   

I went to buy something new because Friday night i was off out to Springwater for my brothers birthday. I love it there normally so i made sure i’d not eaten all day. I can’t remember the last time i went out and had an excuse to dress up, and with my new clothes on i felt fantastic! We met my Mum, Dave, Donna (Lee’s girlfriend) and her son Zak there. We had a great night, the food wasn’t as good as normal but we put that down to it being so busy! The kids were great and didn’t cause any trouble which was a surprise because we were out late! As soon as we got back the kids went to bed and and i got into my jammies. The next thing i’m throwing up!! An i mean THROWING UP!! It was awful. I didn’t get to sleep until nearly 5am. Before i went to bed my brother was joking with Donna and said i must have drank too much, i only had a pint though!! When i surfaced out of bed the next afternoon it turns out that it wasn’t only me that was ill!! Lee was shitting through the eye of a needle and being sick too. I will never eat at Springwater again!! NEVER!

I went into town Saturday night and that was cool. Nel picked me up and guess what he was ill. We pulled up at Mc D’s spoke to everyone and the next thing Nel is behind Walker’s Bingo being sick! I couldn’t believe it. There must be a bug going round!!!

Sunday morning i got up and Moo was bubbly and bright and Donna had stayed over with Zak again. The kids were playing and i made dinner. We had a Sunday roast and it was dead nice. We all sat down to relax after dinner and the next thing Zak is being sick all over my cream sofa! It was so unbelieveable i had to laugh!! I’m just waiting for Moo to be ill now!! There is definitley a bug about!!! Or my house has got the pox!!!

Things are starting to be normal again!!

Well i’ve got lots to write but things aren’t in any particular order so this post will be random to say the least.

Well finally i’m moved in and the house no longer looks like a shit hole!! Its been a hard slog for the past fortnight or so and moving house with a little one to look after just isn’t easy. I’ve managed best i can though and now i feel so much better. When i lived with Mum i didn’t realise how much washing and ironing had to be done so i think i owe my mum a big thank you. I refuse to iron!! I hate it with a passion. Its one of those household tasks that makes me feel like i’m wasting my life!! I have managed to get bits done but i don’t make an effort to go out my way to do it!! Leyla has settled in well which was a surprise. She loved being at mum’s because there was always someone coming round to see her and she had a massive back garden to let loose on. Here at the new place i only have a deck to go out on and i don’t like leaving her out there for long. So she’s sort of been under house arrest whilst we’ve been unpacking. I’m gonna have to think of a big present for her for being such a good girl. Fifi and the flowertotos is always a winner!!

Last week i had to go to the dentist for a filling!! I’ve never had one in my life and i hated it! I didn’t really understand what the dentist was saying because he was foreign and had one of those white masks over his face. I just sorta nodded and said yes in the right places. Well he injected my gum and surprisingly it didn’t hurt at all but i just didn’t realise how long the stuff took to wear off!! My face drooped and i felt like i’d had a stroke. I was dribbling and basically looked like a was having a seizure. I tried to light a fag when i came out but just couldn’t hold it between my lips! It was a task and a half. Oh well serves me right for not flossing enough!!!

On a sad note I had really shit news last week about a friend from school. He was serving in Afghanistan and was killed in an explosion. He was on the front of the Chad and it was a really crappy way of finding out. He was a great lad, one of my best wagging partners from school. I’m just so gutted i’d never kept in touch with him enough. The funeral was on Wednesday but i just couldn’t face it. He left a wife and a 4 year old boy behind. I feel really selfish for not going to the funeral but i knew it would upset me way too much. I just knew that as soon as i saw a pawl bearer in uniform i’d be a mess. Its hard enough knowing Clarkie is in Afghanistan but even worse that Damien was killed at the same place that he’s serving. I suppose in a way it was self preservation, i was protecting myself from seeing it, i’m just sorry i didn’t pay my respects along with everyone else. I will in my own way though.

On a happier note i’ve started my driving lessons again and i’m dead happy. Its like riding a bike you never forget. I’m just gutted that i didn’t start them earlier because now the theory test has gone up. Its now 50 questions!! i just keep revising at any spare chance i get. I really don’t like the hazard perception though its so pants!!!

Anyway thats all the news i really have at the minute. Speak to you soon x x x x

Nothing To Do

Well today has been so boring i’ve actually thought about shoving shitty knitting needles in my eyes just to see if it’ll hurt!!

Playdoh Is The Future!

Its official i’m obsessed with Playdoh!! My Mum came home from Asda a couple of days ago with three tubs of the stufff. I was very wary at first of even getting it out. Scenarios with trips to the hospital kept rushing through my head, Leyla could find anywhere to get it stuck and ingest a full tub before you could blink. Well anyhow i ventured to get it out and now i’m ordering more colours!! I think i’ve actually turned into a bully! I’m getting really creative and everytime Leyla even thinks about touching my creation i freak. I’ve even held her head at arms reach whilst she swoops and flails abotu with her arms. I know it just doesn’t sound very motherly but its mine!!!!

When i was a kid i had every colour and gadget under the sun that went with Playdoh and i just can’t remember now why i ever stopped playing with it in the first place. The smell of it is enough to take you straight back to your childhood. Its kept Leyla really happy and occupied (when i’ve not been playing with it) and i’m definitely investing in some more. An the worries i had about her eating it are all but gone!! She hasn’t even tried to eat it, that girl never ceases to amaze me!

My Landrover

I’m Moving To Huthwaite!! ARGH!!

Well the past week has been slightly mental for me. Clarkie has been home which has been great. My routine has been all to cock though. Its been really nice to see him though and spend time together!! Leyla didn’t forget who he was!! I was really worried that she would be she’s as bright as a button and the change didn’t phase her at all!!

As you will see from the title i’m moving house!! The plans all started at the beginning of last week. My mum and Dave had a blazing row and everything was up in the air. As you will know until i find a house i’m staying with my mum, Dave and brother Lee. Its cramped to say the least and i think we’re all treading on eachothers toes. Well anyhow i saw my mate Tonks in town and knew he had a flat/house above his shop that was vacant. The rent isn’t bad an the place is lovely!! I’ve even got an en suite in my room!!! The other bathroom has a sunken bath which is massive and the kitchen is just to die for!! Its got a big second bedroom and Lee has decided he’s coming with me, which means i won’t get too lonely!! I’m really happy about it!! Just a shame it won’t be permanent!! Keep looking for pics of the place!!

My Holiday

Well i’m back from my hoilday and this is the only chance i’ve had to write a post.

My holiday was ok. Now normally people come back raving about how greater time they had, me on the other hand think my holiday was just ok. We went away for 2 weeks and out of the 14 days it rained 12. I was gutted!! I was hoping to come back with a mega tan and be feeling relaxed. To be honest it was more than draining at times. When it rained it was like a monsoon because we were staying on a caravan site that was feet from the sea front. To be honest though it didn’t stop us from going out and enjoying ourselves. We went to loads of places, Truro, Mevagissey, Pelporro, Looe, Padstow, St Ives, Charlestown etc. It was better than ok i suppose an Leyla loved it so that makes it even better.

Highlights were seeing Rolf Harris in the flesh in St Ives. That was a bit surreal to be honest. Everyone was making a massive fuss of him and all i could think abotu was his didjery doo!!! (dont think i spelt that right!). Also i went crabbing for the first time in 22 years and i bloody loved it. I’ve been to Cornwall on holiday since i was 5 years old and i was never allowed to go crabbing. So this year i brought my own line and bucket. I caught a crab first time and i was buzzing. But to be honest the crab was disabled, it only had one pincer and only seven legs. None the less i caught him and it filled a lifetimes ambition!!!

Most nights we’d stay on site and go to the club. We all played bingo and had a right laugh, even better one night me and my cousin won £200. That was a nice bonus!!! We all got very drunk and Leyla was dancing the night away until gone midnight most nights. She loved it, we just couldn’t drag her away!!

All in all i’d say it was a great holiday after all just without the tan and a lot of wetness!! I’ll be adding my holiday snaps soon so keep having a look!!!

Nightmares Before Sunshine!

Well the past couple of nights have been awful for me. I’ve been having some really bad nightmares, the kind that wake you up and wake you either want to cry or hit something!! The strangest thing is that the nightmares are about my holiday. Which by the way i leave for in about 5 hours. The dreams are about Leyla and her drifting out to sea and i just can’t reach her. Then all of a sudden she goes under the water. The other dream is her falling over a cliff in her buggy and its my fault because i let go of the handle.

Now i’m normally not one to get nervous abotu travelling or going away but this time i am!! I can’t think for the life of me why???

Well i’ll keep you posted and let you know if anything terrible happens whilst i’m away!!

Rain , Rain Go Away!!!

Well lets just say that my last couple of days have been absolute dog poo!! No wdon’t get me wrong a little bit of rain doesn’t hurt anyone but this amount is just ridiculous!! Not only is it depressing but it also means that my social life struggles and that me and Leyla can’t go out and spend money. If i take Leyla out she stays bone dry because she’s got a raincover, i on the other hand come in looking like a drowned rat!! An it would be just my lick to catch the flu days before my holiday. Which may i add is on Friday. We leave in the early hours because we have a 5 hour drive, which i am not looking forward to with a 1 year old! I’m really excited though. Lots of us are going so there is always gonna be something happening and they make the best hols.

Spoke to Clarkie just half an hour ago and he’s fine. Well in fact he’s more than fine. He’s staying at a base in Kandahar at the moment and there are a lot of Americans there. They have Xboxes, Playstations, poker tables, pool tables, a cinema, coke machines. Pizza Hut and Mc D’s. Ita a special requirement they make before they go anywhere!! So he’s being spoilt at the moment. Not for long though because he’s being moved to a place the size of a warehouse and nearly 500 bunks in it. Not a lot of privacy and lots of farts and smelly feet. I do that women also share this warehouse thing and that thay are kept at one end and are surrounded with a sort of fence. An trust me i have already laid the law down there.Ive told him if he so even thinks about trying to get a quick look or even a quick feel i’ll chop his bollocks off. Its bad enough that i know they watch porn 24/7 and that he will be wanking himself silly over the porn stars. I draw a line at real birds!!! Even if he does tell me there ugly it makes no odds because be honest girls we know wht men are like and we know the have no morals when it comes to the crunch!! So anyway thats my rant done and just to recap, clarkie is fine.

Well i’m gonna go now. I think maybe i’ll have a shower or just stand on the backyard with my shampoo and shower gel. See ya!!! x x x x x x

Update

My night out on Thursday was great. I had a mint time. The beer was free the atmosphere was dodgy and the night went well. When i say the atmosphere was dodgy i mean that it was rough. I went to Kimberley and its not the quietest of places. To say its a tiny village with  a few pubs its pretty rough, an i loved it!! Me and Lucy were absolutely wankered. Her dad runs the doors of the only night club therte so we stood at the side of him asking anyone better looking than us for id and basically being bitches. It was great i got rid of a lot of pent up aggression. Russ Is Lucy’s dad and he is just as menatl as us. He just let us get on with it. The reason he invited us was to catch birds doing coke in the toilets so we were like sniffer dogs all night. Up until the point we got hammered that is. We just both had a massive blow out. Got mullered and collapsed into her dads car and taken home. I will definitely being going there again.

Today is Sunday and i didn’t get out of bed until 2.4opm. i was being a bit lazy. Its definitely something i miss, Clarkie would get up with Leyla every weekend and i could sleep in. With my mum its different, she’ll watch Moo when she feels like it so today was a treat. I made the most of it for sure. I had my Sunday dinner and then went to see my cousin Kirsty. Its her birthday today so i went to take her card and present up. She was in a happy mood but that could have been the bottle of Taboo she was maikng her way through. We had some cake and did a bit of gabbing and now i’m at home. I’m ready for a bath i think. I’m gonna get clean and get into bed with Moo. We’ll watch a dvd and pass out for the night.

Night Out

Well today has been miserable. The weather is absolute dog shit and its depressing. I’ve spoken to Clarkie today so that has cheered me up loads. He seems in high spirits so thats reassured me loads.

I’m off out tonight. I can’t remember the last time i went out on a Thursday night and i’m quite looking forward to it. I’m going out with my friend Lucy. Her dad runs the doors on a pub in Kimberley. We’ll get free beer all night so i’m well happy.  I’m getting picked up at 7pm and its nearly 6pm now. Its hard trying to get a bath and do your make up with a 1 year old up your arse. Leyla’s problem is that she doesn’t like to play with toys and occupy herself. She would much rather be putting make up on with you. it does drive you mad. Nevermind though because at 7pm i shall be handing the reins over to my mother and enjoying a baby free night.
