Went to the tip yesterday and had a result. Said I would look out for a campinggaz 907 bottle for a fellow camper that I dont know. Was going anyway to get rid of rubbish & a helium bottle leftover from my daughters party. So I went investigating around the gas bottles. there were all shapes and sizes. Eventually found one and thought nothing ventured nothing gained so picked it up and walked past the man in his shed - he diddnt notice or diddnt care..(they normally say no or charge I think
Yes hes a boy -quite an agressive one at that - Im the one he comes to for a cuddle and Im the one he attacks for no reason - he likes to draw blood while im on the phone by biting inbetween my thumb and finger - i am trying to disway this behaviour with not much sucess as yet - i may have made it worse by not stopping him sooner as he did it with me right from the start but their teeth and claws get sharper and sharper that i dont find it fun anymore. Hes quite good with Trudi at the moment
Yes we are seeing the the wood - Darren has had a job offer and its through in black and white - money quite good, distance not bad, car allowance and they called him to see if he wanted a business trip to Rome for a few days in December - So things are looking up!! We were not going to cancel Christmas but we were going to dive into our last bit of savings and keep our fingers crossed for next year so this really is a bonus. I'm very proud of him. We may still have to get at the savings as he
I have been having a pivotal day - Its funny my Chinese friends are on the move again (maybe to Wales) as its not worked out here due to a horrible man in the kitchen working with the Husband. So basically he has been very nasty - taking his money, blaming him, making him do all the work in the kitchen and probably even damaging what little property they own. My new friends are the salt of the earth - I don't see why or how some horrible people can be like this - I know power has a lot to do wi
Just wrote a little entry 3 paragraphs of rubbish put add entry and managed to lose it all - so Ive gone off it now already - you can tell i have lots of patience - so this time I'm keeping it short and sweet - cause I ain't playing if it disappears again!
List form this time
1. Darren ( Me husband) gets made redundant Next Thursday - so hes a little sad/ apprehensive
2. Friday We pack up the Trailer and head for Sixpenny Handley - so that will be exciting (Must shop for some booze food t
Yep we ventured to Fruitstock by car - on my say so - nightmare traffic left at 2 got to Regents park at about 5 but it was great when we got there - very busy thou. Mother in law enjoyed her first 'festival' all the sights and sounds. She says she wishes she was 40 years younger - indicating to me that she thinks you have to be teens early twenties only. But shes wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.
Darrens cousin was over from Canada too so he came along - dont think it was his thing but Trudi en
Trying to do a picture - just copying others here
these are just not a good idea are they - i hate being in photo's anyway - prefer not to be in any and def not to display - may just put ones of old spud and 'baby' patoto in.
We killed our last camera in Disney Paris so this is a cheepo disposable camera scanned in - not the best quality - no megapixels here - maybe just as well!
Haven't been doing much but washing/drying clothes and sleeping since we got back on Tuesday. Endorset was really my kind of festival - I like reggae/ska n stuff - but was a little chilly for my condition so as it got into the evenings i needed warming up so Trudi and I would head back for Hot drinks and waterbottles - how sad is that! Darren went back for more usually. Really liked their little healing area - keep meaning to go in for a massage but I know once Ive sampled id be wanting more t
Well this would have been a blog saying how beautiful Cornwall is. We had a great time - met up with friends and the weather was much better than I expected but i was getting so stiff towards the end that I was also wanting to get home to me own bed. Boy am I in a great state now - even going to have to start on some medication again that I don't believe in in the hope that it might help - make sense of that
Ive been having terrible trouble with my puter since we got back. A whole week ago a
well I'm sitting here typing with one hand and kitten in the other. Yes we have a new member of the spud family yesterday evening- Trudis pet so Trudi named - its Sasha I say it as the fellow we got it from said he was 90 percent sure it was girl - which is what we wanted. so will get it checked by a vet this week - shes bonded with us all already - i think she was one of the runts as she is tiny for her age (9 weeks) but we will soon feed her up. I'm in love. if it turns out to be a boy it wo
Im starting to come out of hibernation - and looking forward to it getting warmer. I cant wait to sort my festivals out - im supposed to be organising a trip for the 3 of us over to USA but it really doesnt fill me with excitment like the other trips do. My brother in law moved over there last year and with no sign of them coming back over here its down to us to get there. So Trudi can see her cousins, uncle, aunt - I am also going to let her see the big eared mouse (as that would have been the
Yes went to see them - had lots of beer - must remember those seats for future ref as we had our very own bar (twas above the stairs) Good night - fell asleep on the train luckily only by 2 stops - so taxi home and not too expensive a mistake! just like the old days - had the house to ourselves - Daughter stayed over with Grandparents ... thought all was well
Called in the morning with our hangovers and my baby(6) was sick all night/ high temp no medicine - I wish they had phoned me and bro
I'm thinking this is a good thing Ive been spending too much time at the computer and without echoing everybody else. Starting to get a bit panicky - bear in mind though i have missed out for 2 years! I tried to keep away only to miss something?? this morning?? Typical! Nerves are kicking in now. Anyhow Me old fella got 2 free tickets to see this tv show its got bill bailey, p jupitus, Milton Jones, Markus Bridgstocke, Harry enfield?! and Jo Caulfield with Madness thrown in. So i'm hoping it wi
Although i diddnt think much of the last album this was a great gig if you like a gig to be fun - This guy Boothby Graffoe? warmed them up - fantastic - real good fun apart from the girl just infront (we were seated) decided that she wasnt up for fun(shed had a few) was going to make our life hell- everytime Darren hooted she went mad - mostly at her partner - things came to a head and her fella told her to go away - so we all had a good time after that. Wish they were doing the festival scene t
We got back last Friday but I've only just returned to some normality. We are all worn out in fact Darren probably is the most as he had to push both of us round at some point. He had to drive all the way from Orlando to Nashville and back too. We visited his brother and family who we haven't seen for nearly a year and a half - They have an even better lifestyle over there than they did here now they have 2 big houses and a boat - they are trying to tempt us over but despite having a bigger hous
Still cant believe that we got to Glastonbury and that I got to do almost everything I wanted to. I think the Weather helped to a degree with regard to me not getting so tired well apart from when the mud got so thick and tiring on your boots/legs. Have to say my decision to purchase a trekking pole for me and Trudi really was a good idea and kept me going and Trudi upright in the mud when she couldnt hold my hand. Was a little dissapointed that we left early (cause it was suppose to be my night
Just in the last week Darren's hearing has taken a big dive so much so that I've made him get a Doctors appointment. Every time hes in the house the volume of the Telly Im sure is at maximum now - so much so I cant stand to be in the same room - so hes watching telly upstairs and I'm trying to have normal volumes downstairs or vice versa - I go up if hes watching/listening to something downstairs - and communicating - forget it unless I'm facing him and speaking loud and clear and then he thinks
Just found out that Reg Dwight is coming to our village - yes very Vicar of Dibley stuff. I almost want to get a ticket just to see to believe. The Good news is I hope Mercedes Benz world do more acts (that I want to see) it would be great to be able to walk to a venue and not have to worry about getting home/or travel far but it really is a shocker to me. This is the area that we used to kick about in when we were kids/ making camps and ropes down the race tracks to climb and get chased by secu
Although she is the most important thing in the world to me she also gives me most of my worries - It is so weird to enter parenthood and to try and get everything right to do things different to the things that your parents did that you thought were not right and in doing so still coming up with problems? No ones a perfect parent and no ones a perfect kid. Some personalities are easier than others but both of them are tough jobs...(being a kid or a parent that is) I am resorting to go and visit
Well i have made the decision not to go and see Jools Holland with other half as he needs to know in time to get someone to go with him - I am in no fit state to do it at the moment - it is so frustrating when this Fibromyalgia gets the better of me - I woke up feeling worse than I went to bed again today and I cant even sit for long hours let alone stand in one spot for 3! so i will have to forget about it - I cant even type today - every muscle and I mean every pretty much is in a locked up sp
Really pleased with myself - I did camping in the cold and didn't get riggormortis! I wouldn't say it was the best night sleep - but I did get some and I was able to walk in the morning so I see it as a result. The Bearded Festival was great and laughter always helps - so thanks to my buddy we laughed all night and that seemed to help alot! I am trying to convert her - (she was a raver in her day) there is hope would be really good if she came to Glastonbury. I will leave the tent at home and st
Hello
Well it has been - (The lonely bit is a bit of an exaggeration but you always want to put a good title!) No I come out of my slumber round about now and I'm coming out ready for 2010 this time. The whole family is - we are still poor, have no car, just got a washing machine again finally - but none of this matters we are happier in our skins - we have detoxified from the "toxic" friends and I am of proud of my 9 year old (shes not perfect but we are working on it!)
Any way without g
Having a Good time - Shuang our daughters little Chinese friend with us for the time being - mine having strops - am I cruel or what letting a playmate stay with us?? I am completely shattered but you only live once right? I think this sharing torture is good for mine but im doing my best to be fair to all parties! There is a chance that Shaung will come to Glastonbury with us this year . She doesnt like music or too much banging drums and likes too keep scrumtiously clean - Pilton shouldnt be a
Well first can I give a little catch up we went to Glasto with daughter and friend and it went well ... I think - was tough in places but I much prefer having to deal with Heat than Mud/Rain . Trudi's little Chinese friend Shuang left us at the start of the summer holidays - She is back with her family and although its not perfect for them (at the moment anyway) I think it was best for us and Shuang. Trudi seemed to get increasingly uptight and it was going to ruin their friendship - Turns out t
Everybody has him on their minds - everybody knew they would - its been a strange couple of months - Things like this can lay you bare / expose you if you are brave enough? You let it happen and hopefully get through it - I am not depressed and I am surprised at that but I also know that any time that old devil can sneak up on you and this is the time it tends to happen.
Instead of getting him (Joel) a £20 in a xmas card as it would have been if he hadnt been taken from us - Instead im gettin
