Friday tomorrow lalalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Today the Project Manager went round and asked everyone to lunch! I've never known anyone who worked for Jacobs to do that, he obviously hasnt been there long enough to be Jacobs-dised yet. What a nice thing to do tho. And it was yum! As usual I got the biggest meal (I dont do it on purpose - it just always happens!), they were all sitting there with their wee bowls of pasta and there's me with a huge toasted ciabatta with breast of chicken, roasted red peppers, mozzarella & mayo, chips and a side salad - mmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Got my payrise today - 5%. That takes me up to £3.5 million.

Whoo My 201st Post!

Got my tea today! Tazo Chai Latte tea. Its NOT like Starbucks. It smells like Starbucks but it doesnt taste like it. What I need to do is become a friend of a Starbucks employee and find out how they make it!!! If anyone knows how to make Starbucks Tazo Chai Latte tea (Starbucks style) please leave me a message!!

Wowser I dont know what's in they teabags but my head is spiiiining!

Tonight I went to mum's for dinner. She made sausages which were suspiciously like Pepperamis. I dont know how she manages it.

Not much else happening, I'm going to work, coming home from work, going to work coming home from work. Tomorrow's Thursday and that's one step closer to Friday so I'm happy enough.

Oh I got my 10-year service letter through today...I get to spend £100 on myself which my company will pay for....what do I buy? Another watch?

Anyway, bedtime with Harry Potter!

Fabby Doo! Love it man!

One Down - 3.5 to go

Monday's over!!!! All in all it was ok day. Got the bus to work almost straight away and I left work at 4.30pm and was on a bus for 4.35 - OMG SHOCKEROONI!

I brought work home with me and now I just need to force myself to do it. I really want to read my Harry Potter book though!!!

And That's It Over

Cant believe weekend is finished already (almost). I cant win when it comes to the weekend. If I stay in and do nothing I feel as tho its waste of days off but if I go out and do things it goes too fast and I always wish I'd stayed in and done nothing!

Anyways. This weekend I bought 2 pairs of trousers for work, a dress, new glasses (drinking not seeing), a teacosy (yes a teacosy) annnnnnnd a wee jacket incase the rain ever stops. Oh yeah and a coat with a hood incase the rain never stops.....which is more likely. And a scarf & some eyeshadow. And 2 pairs of shoes and a pair of boots. And a pair of wee trainers.

OMG what have I done!!

Friday, January 12, 2007

Its the weekend. Am soooooo happy bout this.

I've been getting the wrong bus for the last 2 days. Not that it was the wrong bus, it went where I wanted it to go, it was just a bloody nightmare. It was fine in the morning but at the other end of the day when I was leaving work it was just rubbish. Last night I waited 45 minutes for it, and tonight I waited just under an hour. Kerry's told me bus times, I had vowed not to go into my work email over the weekend but I need to go back in just to look for her email.

When I stepped off the bus today (finally!!!) it was blowing an absolute gale, I nearly fell over!! I had to get stuff out the back of Dave and when I opened him loads of stuff flew out. I'm sure I keep seeing it all flying past my window.

Got another frigging Starbucks tea. I NEED to stop buying this, its both beautiful & evil. The problem is that I have to walk past Starbucks to get to and from Bothwell Street from my office so I have no way of avoiding the damn place. Actually there is another way but I have to walk down a really steep hill and cos my heels are so high its nigh impossible. You try walking down a steep hill on your tiptoes and see how far you get!

Anyway am going to get jammies on and a big blanket and chill oot.

Confession

I started a new blog and never told anyone. But then I felt guilty for abandoning this blog.

Sigh. Blog-lemmas!

Anyway. Colin & Justin's on. Must go and watch with my Quality Street & de-caff coffee.

Oh my god speaking of which, best thing about Glasgow is Starbucks Tazo Latte Tea. I have been having a cup of this every day for my lunch. I love it. But I cant afford it. Will have to make it a treat.

Anyway C&J are calling.

OMG I'm Gone!

Well that's me finished on site, just shy of 5 years. For the last 2 days I've been doing my handover so I've not really been able to keep up-to-date with my correspondence (and by that I mean e-mailing Louise & Kerry!)

Today was nice, I got a wee speech made by John which was v. funny and John took me and a few others out to lunch. I got beautiful presents; a new watch, a wee jewellery box, beautiful roses that look as though they are velvet, 2 boxes of chocolates, 4 cards and £100!



So that's that. Tomorrow I start in Glasgow, I have no idea where to get off the bus, what I'm wearing, if I have a computer and my wee flat is a pigsty!
Some things never change!

Weekend

I broke a nail so cant type properly, its quite a serious break too. It happened when I was putting away my tree and decorations. Am glad to have my living room back to normal, even if it did cost me a nail. Might jump up the RAH later on to see if they can fix it.

I had a very quiet weekend, went over to my mum's for dinner on Saturday then Leanne came over on Saturday night. Sunday, I took my tree down and did some hoosework! Oh and I watched Alison & Chris' wedding DVD, awww so sweet, it was a lovely wedding.

Tomorrow is my last Monday on site. Its really strange how I'm not nervous or anything about leaving site/starting in the office. I'm just kinda numb about it all. We'll see how numb I am on Tuesday though! I'm going out for lunch with Genivieve on Tuesday, wondering if I can just take a sneaky wee half day after it. Dont think it will be possible though. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is doing the handover with the new girl. I dont really see the need for a handover, I've never had a handover in my life and I always managed, its a big huge mega pain in the erse.

Anyway, better do some ironing. I want to get into the office for half 7 tomorrow so dont want to be getting up early and having to iron!

Wednesday, January 03, 2007

What's that comin over the hill? Is it a monster?

Back to work today - dreaaaad. It was pants.

I went into Irvine at lunchtime to get away from it and look for new clothes for my new job. All I bought was a chocolate mousse and Percy Pigs. Suspect any outfit I could concoct from that combination would not go down well with my boss. Met McShandy whilst I was in Irvine. He was walking about with 2 pink scooters. Fair nuff!

Mister Man wasnt in today but thats ok he's back tomorrow, cant wait! Although he paid me a visit yesterday but still. I like him in his shirt & tie, lovely. I just want to bite him and eat him all up, yum yum.

This time next week I'll have finished my first day in the Glasgow office! Exciting! Am going to the Living Room for lunch with Louise. I will need to ask her where that is.

Nobody is texting me tonight, even Derek - I'm a retard!

Kerry isnt well but she's getting better and hopes she will be able to come to our Girls Christmas Lunch on Sunday.

I've wrapped all my Christmas presents and hopefully its all ready to rock n roll. I cant think of one person I've missed out but no doubt come Christmas day I'll remember someone. I've had loads of presents from work, 7 boxes of chocolates, 2 bottles of vodka, gift vouchers, a lovely big box of stuff from Boots and a set from Next. Oh and a pen. James came up tonight and ate one of my boxes of chocolates (and took a tenner) but thats a good thing cos the less I have the less I will eat!!

Today I had my 4th turkey dinner. It was really nice. I had chicken liver pate, turkey with the trimmings and then chocolate orange trifle which I'm going to recreate as soon as I buy trifle dishes.

Mister Man came over on Tuesday night, it was hugely brilliant and he's been soooo nice to me since then. He gave me a pair of earrings and I gave him all his presents. It was cute. And on Wednesday morning when I went in, the second I opened the door to the office I could smell his aftershave and sure enough there he was talking to one of the engineers, I couldnt keep the smile off my face. He had the tie on I got him too but I never found that out until he text me last night and then I felt really bad cos I didnt notice but he had jackets on every time I seen him yesterday. I wish I'd seen it on him though. I did give him into trouble for using all his presents before Christmas cos I know he was using other stuff I'd bought him too but I dont mind cos it was like our own mini-Christmas.

I'm trying to make loads of plans for Christmas time cos I dont want to waste it lying about the flat eating all they chocolates! I'm going out with the girls on Christmas Eve. Christmas Day I'll be occupied all day, Boxing Day through to Wednesday 27th I am freeee as a bird. Thursday I'm occupied.....and then completely free as a bird til I go back to work! I'm going through to Irvine at some point for my birthday dinner (weeks late but I havent had a chance to do anything for it) and I'll need to get up to Kerry's to see her tree and have some chat. New Year I dont even want to think about, its always so rubbish. I would be quite happy ordering a pizza from Dominos and watching Bridget Jones!

Tomorrow is the last day of work and I cannot wait!! We're getting away at 12 and somehow I've ended up volunteering to go and get cheeseburgers for everyone! Hopefully they will have forgotten by tomorrow. I am totally in holiday mode already so I might just go and get them...then go a wee wander while I'm out. But actually I cant cos I'm skint.

Hee hee Simon Cowell is really really funny!

Some loser broke into my dad's van today and stole his whole collection of Rod Stewart CDs, his Meatloaf CD, some money and his jacket. How low will people go? Everything is replaceable but its the 21st December for god's sake. Luckily they never got into the back of his van cos he's done so much work in there making it into a wee transportable workshop they could have made such a mess and he had all his tools there. Horrible people.

Anyway roll on 12 noon tomorrow baaaaby yeaaah!

Monday, December 18, 2006

I am loving looking out the window and seeing all the frost settling. Do you get frost at night? I Well whatever it is, its sooooo Christmassy!

Only 4 working days left lalalalaaaa. I need to work on getting Lou into the Christmas spirit. She is being a little Grinch!

Oooh and I start back in Glasgow on January 10th. I will miss my pals but its time for a change, Mister Man has been telling me for a long while now that I need it and I realise he's right.

As usual almost my whole week is mapped out, tomorrow & Thursday are spoken for, Wednesday I think I'll have to go to mum's with presents, Saturday I'm thinking about having some family over for a visit and on Sunday I'm going for Christmas Eve lunch with the girls!

I really should be in bed right now but I'm waiting on my nail polish drying, dum di dummm.

Here is my Christmas joke:

Two snowmen standing in a field. One says to the other:

"can you smell carrots?"

Its my favourite joke of all time!!!!

Update

Well I confronted one of the guys who was in my taxi (we'll call him Ian) and he said that the other guy who was in my taxi (we'll call him Jim) said that I wasnt going home!

Then another guy (we'll call him Eamonn) said that Ian had told him that he had told Jim that I wasnt going home.

So all the men are lying. But that is no surprise, cos as we all know.....ALL MEN LIE!!!!!!!!!!

Weekend Round-Up

Well the night out went well. I danced alll night and was quite drunk. My new shoes got ruined but I managed to take them back and get a refund - belter! £60 up!

My taxi left without me so Andy and Derek had to put money in and get me a taxi home from Kilmarnock!!! We each put £20 in waaargh! Mister Man says he's going to give them the money back though....I didnt tell him I put money in.

Saturday was a bit of a lost day. Omg though I got the biggest burger ever from McDonalds, it was bloody amazing...a Big Tasty with bacon which was the size of my face! And an Orange Matchmakers McFlurry, mmmmmmmmmmmm.

Today I went to the Fort to take my shoes back, but we got stuck in traffic for over an hour. Luckily I had made a Christmas CD to keep us entertained hee hee. We only got half an hour at the Fort before it closed then went to Braehead which was open til 8, lalalalaaaaaaa.

OK need to go write some Christmas cards, time is running out!!!

Other than that, no gossip, no news!

Thursday, December 14, 2006

Palaver!

Well. I am going to the night out. No matter how much I tell him I'm not going he is just not hearing me. He even got his best pal to send me an email

" Hi Kirsty; Spoke with jim tonight,he tells me you might not make our xmas night out,I hope you can manage to come,cause it would not be the same without you,who else could I talk to or have gossip for,will speakwith you in the morning."

I traipsed all round the town looking for something to wear today, I bought a pair of shoes. Shoes that go with nothing I own!!!

So I still have nothing to wear for a night out that starts in less than 24 hours.

Wednesday, December 13, 2006

Christ

I told him I wasn't going to his night out and he hasnt spoken to me since.

Well that's what he gets for railroading me into it!

Scariest Moment This Year.....

..........Barry Manilow on the Royal Variety Performance!

Oh My Word!
Hmmmph I think I'm going to stop talking to a certain person for a wee while. He's the nicest person on earth when I'm ignoring him, and a big ignoramus when I'm nice to him!

The bugger

News

We have the EPCM on the project I'm going onto so I start in Jan! My boss says its up to me when I move!

Waargh!

Saturday, December 09, 2006

Pheeew just ate a big fry up, belly doesnt know what's hit it.

Got a letter in from Bellway Homes this morning notifying me that they are building 202 flats, terraces, semis & detached dwellings behind my carpark. Am very excited about nosying on my new neighbours. Lalalaaaa.

Am wondering if that's why Twirly Girly next door moved out.

Thursday, December 07, 2006

Sore head has gone lalalalaaaa.

PMSL I love Stiffler.

Today at work was RUBBISH. I had to go to reception and back FOUR times in the freezing wind and rain! I was seething.

Sometime in the afternoon McLarry came in with a big Flake cake and Genievieve appeared. She gave me gorgeous presents, that girl just doesnt know when to close her purse! She gave me Benefit Hoola, Benefit Valley of the Stars and a gorgeous wee River Island vest and pants set. I love vest and pants set! Oh and a wee keyring thing like a sandal.

Then I went to my mum's and got loads of pressies and money. Oh and how could I forget, Helen gave me 24 bags of Monster Munch which I havent opened yet.

That is 24 bags of Monster Munch wrapped up in wrapping paper.

So tomorrow I need to get my ass out of work, home get ready, do nails etc etc etc.....I'm scared to actually think about everything I still have to do!!

Nobody is blogging.

They're all rubbish.

Feck

Mister Man just noticed my eyebrows. He is the first person who has spoken to me this morning and he noticed in seconds.

This is NOT good.

Wednesday, December 06, 2006

Round Up

Well I ended up having a really nice wee birthday.

I got lovely pressies from the girls, I havent seen any of my family yet but I am going straight to my mum's tomorrow night after work for cake and presents!
Leanne brought me up a wee cake today and pressies then Kerry brought me up gorgeous necklace. Its sooo me, I love it!

Then we all traipsed to the beautician. I look very evil with no eyebrows but I like my new eyelashes. I'm hoping I will get used to my evil looking eyebrows. Also hoping the guys in work dont notice my eyebrows cos I will never live it down. I bet even Evil George would be scared of me! Mebbe not though.

After beautician we dropped Kerry off who had a lovey chicken stew waiting for her (which she was NOT willing to share!) and Leanne and I went to Subway for the low fat takeaway option. Although Leanne's wasnt really low fat as she got 2 packets of crisps to accompany it. Lucky bugger.

And that was that! The only people I didnt hear from was my wee brother (shocker!) and Mister Man (which I actually am a bit shocked at but if thats how he wants to be then that's that).

I'm now all ready for bed, couldnt put Leanne's new jammies on as I'm about 5 inches too short for them, and knowing me I would trip up and fall through my mirrored wardrobe or something! I'll swap them for a wee three quarter length set at the weekend.

I've now had a sore head for 24 hours. Should I be worried?
I am bored and lonely on my birthday. Isnt that sad?

I'm also all dressed up with nowhere to go. I intended going shopping but I'm sitting here with my boots on all ready to go out the door and I cant face it, I cant face the outside world. I'm going to have to go out at some point as I have an appointment at 6pm with the beautician.

I'm bright orange cos I have 5 layers of fake tan on. Kerry is going to die when she sees me.

And Mister Man didnt even wish me a happy birthday.

Tuesday, December 05, 2006

I turn old tomorrow. Twenty eight years old. 28. How scary is that? I'm nearly 30. 30!

I'm having the day off, hopefully have a long lie, then maybe go a wee donder up Glasgow. Then I'm going to get my eyebrows waxed and my eyelashes dyed for the night out on Friday.

I'm looking forward to the night out. I dont need to do anything except have a good time - shouldnt be too hard!

Monday, December 04, 2006

Jeez my feet are killing me, absolutely pulsating killing me. I'm not used to little heels. Just back from Braehead. I've no idea what I bought. I think I bought about 6 pairs of pants, I know I bought a bag for my mum. I really cant think what else but I know everything was very heavy. I cant be bothered unpacking it all.

Mister Man is being very funny, funny haha like, without meaning to be! He can sit on it and spin. Bloody crawling right up my erse. Well he's too late! I never used any of his vouchers.....still debating whether to buy something for myself with them or someone else. I might need to use them for groceries cos I am skint. S.K.I.N.T. I dont think I could go to his night out even if I wanted to.
I'm off on Wednesday lalalalaaaaaaa

Sunday, December 03, 2006

Retro Weekend!

I have regressed back to a 14 year old (actually didnt have to work very hard at that as not a lot has changed since I was 14!!), I'm loving the Take That comeback! I've watched an audience with Take That twice and I'm now halfway through the concert for the 2nd time. Awww wee Marky.

Not done much else this weekend, its been too wet and miserable and I havent been feeling that great, v. sleepy, I suspect from dinner on Friday night. Ordered some more Christmas presents yesterday. Only a wee bit of my Dad's and James to do now and I think we'll just go out shopping for his together whenever I can find a spare minute when its not raining outside.

Today I've been tidying the flat except it doesnt look any tidier than it did when I started. I dont think the flat will be tidy until Christmas is by, I've got boxes of stuff and presents all over the place. The boxroom is like a coup.

I started writing out Christmas cards for people in work, I managed 2 before I got fed up. And they werent even for people on site, it was 2 people back in the office. Think I'll just take my box of cards into work and write them out only when someone gives me one. I know its mean but I dont care, quite frankly I have enough to be thinking about. Like organising taxis for 20 or so people by Friday 8th December, I dont even want to think about that right now, I feel a bit sick at the thought of trying to find a company willing to take it on.

Right now I need to think whether or not I have everything I need for the night out on Friday as I only have one free evening until then, and that is tomorrow night!

I have booze, I have a dress, I have shoes....what more do I need?

Saturday, December 02, 2006

Just paid my Ross & On-The-Fiddle factor's bill. So that's me skint for Christmas.

I HATE them, horrible nasty evil company. Charging us for work that none of us even think has been carried out. Exactly WHAT was powerwashed and why did it cost £452.50? Was there 10 men power washing whatever it was that was so dirty??

Feckers.

Friday, December 01, 2006

Ooookay

Exactly how did Matt win I'm a Celeb??

WTF happened there??

Confused!
My hair is rubbish! It was perfect and beautiful before I went to hairdresser. When I came out it was fluffy and wild!

I should have listened when Mister Man said "it looks fine to me" when I told him I was leaving early to go to hairdressers. In man speak this is a huge compliment dontcha know.

Oh yeah we're speaking again....slightly. I sent him a nasty (but deserved) email which he never replied to so he may not be speaking to me. I'm enjoying this now!

Here is my tree for Louise.

Class in a Glass

Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Letting me go
And I just can't look its killing me
And taking control

Home Sweet Home again

Am finally home....but dont have time to enjoy it.


Today managed to get Jennifer's card & vouchers down to her. She sent a thank you email so I know she got them, good stuff.


Went out at lunchtime to Tesco (pre-fall) and topped up James' birthday present (car mats which look metal....but aint, not very pretty but he seemed chuffed), got wrapping paper, couldnt get James a card, however did get 4 'happy new home' cards (3 of which are already assigned) and one christmas card. Got myself a purple shirt dress and yet another flaming Christmas gift bag. Hopefully thats the last of the bags I need. I bought a 'happy new home' card for girl next door but she's taken her nameplate (see photo - is it illegal to take photos of someone's front door?) so I reckon she wont be back. God I'm sad bout that actually.


Got my fairy lights and a million other decorations from my mum's, omg I need a whole other tree. I cant put them up though cos its a dreaded hair night and I havent even started to dry it.


Still not speaking to Mister Man but part of his Christmas came today. Pfft I dunno what to do with it, and all the other presents. Well the other ones I can give away but this one is personalised. Not to worry, I'll find a use for it. I'm just glad we fell out after I got him to fit my windscreen wiper hee hee.

Why, when I insert photos into my blog does it make all my line spacing frigging double lined spacing, which I then have to go and fix. I WISH I'd never changed to Beta....there's not a frigging ounce of difference. I've been meaning to have a rant about this for ages, I DONT GET IT!


Anyway, need to go dry hair, and deal with Christmas decorations and car insurance documents and a million other things.


At least I've done Jennifer, James and another tiny bit of Christmas. We'll get there in the end!


Calm calm........
I just FELL! Outside in the wind and rain!

I'm Louise!!!!

Hurted my hands, wrist and legs.

OMG it hurts to change gear. Should I phone in sick??

Wednesday, November 29, 2006

Pheweeeeeee.

Am puffed oot!

Been on the go since 6am and just looked at my clock and it says 20 to midnight (I havent changed my clocks yet).

I got new shooooes! And I heart them.


Ok so that photo is mince but they're here if anyone's interested. I hope they go ok with my dress cos if they dont I will need to find a new outfit as its impossible to find shoes. Dont even get me started on underwear!


I got part of Senman's Christmas and ooh I just remembered I got more smellies for my drawer. I got Jennifer's 'New House' gift (vouchers - but in my defence of buying vouchers I never see Jennifer and its nice and easy to put the vouchers in the internal mail so they arent entirely thoughtless.....).


I got a crazy new top from Topshop that I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with so I think I'll just be taking it back. I got it from the midget range. It may be a dress actually. I just dont know.


Oh and on my way into the flat tonight, Twirly Girly came out and told me there's a guy moving into her flat, he's here 2 weeks and away 2 weeks, although I prob shouldnt be publishing that for all and sundry to see. He works as a welder in Norway. He will be rich. Maybe he'll pay my Ross & Liddell bill.....I dont think anyone's that rich though. Flaming cowboys.


So I think that's that, still to take my make up off and calm down a wee bit. I hate Christmas Stress.


This time next Wednesday I'll have gorgeous eyebrows & eyelashes and new hair! Yaaaah! Oh and hopefully some pants to wear under my dress. That would be good.

Tuesday, November 28, 2006

24 Days Til We Finish Up for Christmas!!!

Lead me not into temptation.......for I cannot say "no". (This doesnt mean what you think it means......)


Mmmmm Apple Bacardi.

Oh gads the Christmas stress is beginning. The good thing is I lost soo much weight last year from the Christmas stress.

Bring it on baby!

Monday, November 27, 2006

Argh

Trying to sort out car insurance. Thought I had until 30th November to sort it out but I dont! I need some for tomorrow lunchtime aargh what a stupid date to have to renew car insurance. The 28th! What's that all about??

Am trying not to think about dinner. I will not eat I will not eat. Must lose half a stone...at least. First (and only?) night out's in 11 days waaaagh!

Oooh should I buy something gorgeous and extravagant with my shiny new credit card? Haha, no I must behave, tempting as it is.
I've taken 10 painkillers in a 24 hour period. The box says not to take more than 6 in a 24 hour period.

I just want it noted incase I collapse or something.

Its unlikely.

Sunday, November 26, 2006

Saturday, November 25, 2006

Just had to open door to what looked like a 14 year old postman whilst wearing my pyjamas.

I think I've scarred him for life.

Christmas present buying has come to a standstill. I bought some stuff for my mum when she was there yesterday so there wont be any surprises for her. I might sell it back to my dad so that he wont need to go shopping for her and it will be more of a surprise when she doesnt get them from me....if you know what I mean. Also got a few other bits & bobs. I keep buying things for people then changing my mind and deciding to give them to someone else, and in quite a few cases I'm keeping the stuff for myself! Yesterday I bought my uncle a Yankee candle, there's no way I'm giving him it, I'm keeping it hahahaa. I'm rubbish!

Genivieve and I are now definitely going to the night out on the 8th December, its my birthday weekend so that can just be my birthday night out. 100% not interested in my birthday, I'm very interested in the cake though! I'm still not sure what I'm doing about the other night out. He wants an answer for Monday but if he's going to rush me then the answer's going to be 'no'.

i'm off to wrap more Christmas presents and not think about bloody nights out.
I did this last night.


(Its the photo that's squint, not the tree).

It still looks like that this morning as I cant find my fairy lights. I'm hoping they're at my mum's! Although a tiny wee bit hoping they're entirely lost so I can buy new white ones! I woudl love little bright white ones.

Friday, November 24, 2006

Uch. I bought soap from Lush today.

I just realised its called Bob soap.

I hate Bob.

Oh Dear, My Poor Belly

I'm just back from dinner.

Oh my dear god. It was absolutely delicious. I wish I could get the menu online to describe what I had but I'll try my best, although I will never be able to get across how lovely it was.

Firstly we were brought a basket of bread with the loveliest butter, olives and that oil stuff. For a starter we shared a plate of garlic bread strips with cheese on top and accompanied by a selection of dips (sweet chilli, sour cream and guacamole type stuff). By this time I was a bit full up as I'd eaten most of the bread and most of the garlic bread too.

The main course came and we both had breast of chicken stuffed with ayrshire black pudding on a bed of shredded potato with roasted vegetables and a leek & cream sauce, OMG I ate THE LOT. Seriously not a crumb was left.

Then we left it 10/15 mins before looking at the dessert menu. OMG was it worth the wait!!

I had chocolate cake, with cherry ice cream. The chocolate cake was crunchy on the outside and soft and squidgy in the middle. Helen had Baileys cheesecake and she couldnt stop talking about how lovely it was.

I never wanted it to end. I might suggest Tam Cowan goes there.

I decided to take a different route home after dinner as the back road is really really scary at night, its never particularly busy but anytime after 6pm is totally deserted. So I went the other route which was just as scary but had more cars on it. Its not a road I'm familiar with so not very nice on a dark rainy night! But hey, I'm home.

I have such a dilemma about a night out. I cannot make a decision. There's about 3 decisions to be made re. the one night out. I really want to go but there's at least 2 things holding me back. Oafffffft.

Why do I over analyse things?
Hmph. Nobody is speaking today. Except Helen cos we're very excited about dinner tonight.

The Site Director is coming down here at 3pm today and we're all supposed to tidy our desks. Haha aye right, I'm sure I'll be doing that. Maybe if its a raging mess I will get moved.

I've switched my phone off too. I'm not in the mood today. Everyone in here can leave me alone.

Nobody so far liked today's song. But that's good cos it means I cant really go wrong with tomorrow's song!

Should I...Should I Not? Should I.....Should I Not?

I've had this saved in my 'Favorites" since god knows when, maybe June! Its only £179 and I heart it.

If its still online next June then I definitely will purchase. Definitely Definitely. I could tell Mister Man to get me it but then I'd have to explain to people how I've suddenly acquired a new bed when I have a factors bill & car insurance to pay. Hmph, the problem with secrets eh!

Hey if anyone wants to get me it for Christmas, I wouldnt say no!
Just out bath. Been in since half 6. Currently trying to delay the dreaded task of drying my hair. I HATE it. I hate drying my hair. I hate taking my make up off. I hate doing my nails. I hate it all. I wish I was famous and had plebs to do this stuff for me - I dont want the fame though, just the plebs.

Tomorrow is my Friday. After work I'm going a bimble round a big shop in Irvine (NO, not Tesco!!) to try and get some Christmas gift bags as I refuse to wrap tins of biscuits (although I might just use cheap wrapping paper and shove them in the gift bags) and then I'm meeting Helen for dinner. Yuuum I love that place.

I better go and send tomorrow's song out, cos I might just go to bed after I've dried my hair. It tires me out!!!

I'm getting on a bit you know!
How gay do men with brollies look!

I'm So Excited...And I Just Cant Hide It!

I'm off Thursday & Friday!
To help my uncle pack boxes.
But still....I wont be in work! Lalalalaaaaa.

And I'm going out for dinner with Helen on Wednesday night, the perfect start to a few days off!

PMSL Smoooooth


PS

Fixed my heating!

High Drama.....And I Missed It!

I wonder what happened!


Calling Central Heating Experts.....Help Needed!!

Bad news this weekend. My central heating's gone and I got a factors bill in.

Am also pretty sure Kerry cancelled on me again cos I was wearing stiletto knee highs boots.

Saturday was spent wrapping Christmas presents, cleaning the flat and doing washings. On Saturday night my mum and dad came up so my dad could have a look at the central heating. They left after X Factor and I had dinner and watched the telly. My electric fire is reaaaaally warm thanks goodness....bit worried about the electricity bill though!

On Sunday I was up nice and early to get ready to go and see Sen Man. I thought she had the same boiler as me and I was going to borrow her manual. But she doesnt have the same one so that was a wasted trip. After that I went to my mum's to kill an hour before meeting Kerry. However Kerry was locked in Gavin's again (aye right who's that stupid??!!!) so I went to my Gran's and ate hunners and hunners and cleaned my Grampa's bedroom.

Once I got home, I chapped the man downstair's door to ask if he had the boiler manual as he's been living in the builidng since it was built. He wasnt left the manual but had had the same problem as me. And it was fixed with WD40. I dont have WD40 but I'm wondering if I could use baby oil or vaseline.

Using Kerry's pink screwdriver and torch I found the valve that I think the problem lies at (going by the man downstairs). But my dad's told me not to touch it until he's spoken to my Uncle Plumber.


The Problem Lies Within




This is the Problem??

The Weekend Starts HERE

People are just RUDE! I am still in a stressed out bad mood. Cannot be doing with it today. Thank God I left work early.

I'm going to put my thinking cap on and think about Christmas presents. The more I can order just now, the better.

Iiiiiiiiits Friiiiiday!!!!

That's my credit card paid off.....my new one's already in the post!

Lalalalaaaaa, I have 0% interest on new purchases for 12 months!!!!

Unfortunately I'm only using the card for my car insurance then cutting it up, but think of the damage I could do!

Anyone fancy New York for Christmas shopping??

Thursday, November 16, 2006

All in all its been a blimmin stressful day, from start to finish...or not as it hasnt ended yet. No major stresses, just a whole load of silly little things.

It all started with the drive in this morning, I left the flat really early at 6.50 thinking I'd have an easy drive in cos it was so early. But I was wrong. It was a really annoying drive, getting stopped at every traffic light, nearly run off the road by an HGV (either I was in his blind spot or he just didnt check his mirror....or he felt like running Dave & I off the motorway), then being stuck in a wee trail of cars which were all stuck behind a lorry on the back road, we're all just trundling along at 45-50mph which was fine I wasnt bothering, until some guy decides to overtake me...WHAT IS THE POINT? There's loooads of us stuck behind the lorry, he's not going to get anywhere. So I was stuck behind that eejit until we got to Irvine. Then I got stopped at EVERY roundabout. From my flat to work there are 9 roundabouts...7 of which are in Irvine! From the back road to site its about a 5 minute drive.....basically 5 minutes of driving around roundabouts.

Once in, I had a few hours of relative calmness, as much calm as there can be working with that crowd. Late morning I decide to go to Tesco. The minute I got in the car, it started raining....heavily. I gets to Tesco and cannot find a parking space, this is an absolutely huge Tesco, its 1130am, there's like a million spaces, but can I find one? No. Eventually gets parked a few miles away (or so it seemed in the peein rain).

Bimble around Tesco, the usual few mini rages about pensioners and people who cant control their trolleys, but all in all was ok. Top of my list was 40 watt small golf ball bayonet cap clear lightbulbs and a spicy chicken pizza, (see my previous post for photo of that), oh and some sandwiches for lunch. Got a few messages, left Tesco, the sun was shining and it was dry.....as soon as I stepped foot onto the carpark the rain started. Found Dave, chucked the shopping into the boot, started driving back to work.

On way back to work, tried to phone Bellend a million times to tell him I'd got him a sandwich and a few tins of soup, couldnt get him to answer the phone for love nor money, this particularly gave me the rage (I really like Sugababes new single btw - entirely unrelated to this paragraph but its my blog, I'll do what I like).

Got a hold of him when i got back into work, fed him, fed myself and had a rubbish afternoon. At one point, I left my cabin to go over to Jacobs...guess what happened the minute I stepped out the door? It rained. I swear I had a wee rain cloud following me today.


I'm sooo bored in work just now, I was really busy this afternoon but I was bored out of my brain. Thank God for Kerry & Louise that's all I can say! Was held back til 5.30 cos I wasnt given the Safety minutes etc until 4pm....I dont know why he gives me these minutes on Thursdays, he holds the flaming meeting on Tuesdays, I'll be saying something about this in the near future, from now on he'll be writing the minutes out on Tuesday afternoons! So this gave me the rage too, because its a hair night tonight. I'm only just finished doing my hair, I cant afford to lose an hour on hair nights!

I'm not even going to start about D.

So I got home, (stress free drive home yay!), had beautiful low fat pizza thing, ran lovely big bubble bath, got in with my book, washed my hair etc....then gets the bath heebeejeebies and have to get out halfway thru just after I'd put the conditioner in my hair. I ended up sitting in an empty bath with my head under the tap, another fine mess I got myself into.

After hair is dried and straightened and I'm just about to collapse with the heat, I decide to change the wee lightbulb with the new bulbs I bought in Tesco. But no. I bought 60 watt screw cap bulbs. Not 40 watt bayonet cap.

So I'm now in bed, with an apple Bacardi (this stuff is amazing, its not an alcopop, its 40% or something), Eddie the Teddy and my hot water bottle trying to de-stress!

Lets hope tomorrow goes better! It has to......its Friday baaaaby!!!!

My Healthy Dinner



Only 3.9g of fat per pizza!!!!!!!!!!
Am stuffed!

Ooh Err Poor Postman




I will be giving him a huuuuuuge tip this year!!

Hee Hee This Makes Me Laugh

Kirsty,
Three parcels came for you today.(At a wild guess I think two of them are skateboards).
Dad.

Tuesday, November 14, 2006

Haha A Lifetime On The Hips Indeed!


I swear there is not as much chocolate on these as it looks!
I went shopping at lunchtime. I was going to buy underwear but after trailing round a crap shopping centre I ended up at Lidl to buy Louise’s lasagne.

I got out Dave and I could hear this whooo whooo whooo whoo noise which I figured was just a car alarm. But the next thing I hear is this automated female voice saying “Help, the driver of this vehicle is under attack, please call the police, help the driver of this vehicle is under attack, please call the police”.

I had a wee look inside and the guy sitting in the driver’s seat was just sitting there pressing buttons, so I’m assuming he’d pressed the alarm button by accident. I hope.

He was still there when I came out of Lidl, if the van was being robbed it would have been long gone…..wouldn’t it?

I made Mars Bar cake. Again.
Mars Bar cake is evil. Pure evil.
Loads of butter. Loads of Mars Bars. Syrup. Dairy Milk bars.

But the guys like it.....and the guys get what the guys like!

Jeez

OMG I AM SO BORED

OMG soooo pretty!

People!

Some bugger threw an apple at Dave today......and it hit him! It hit him hard, poor lamb. He still has some of it on his window. What has Dave ever done to hurt anyone! Ok he has done some things, but they're mainly my fault. I dont see why he should be punished.

So i took him for a big long drink to calm his nerves.....after I'd taken myself for a new pair of brown slouchy knee high boots - £40 for leather boots, belter!

Also went to see Leanne's flat, looks brill, I think she's gonna love it there! Couldnt see the inside but it looks safe, quiet and a fair old size. I think she hit the jackpot!

Need to go lie down now, just ate a Mars bar in about 3 bites and its not going down well. Oafffft.

Made a Start!

Ooook, just done the bulk of my Christmas shopping. After saying I wasnt going to buy anything online that's exactly what I just done! But you can do it in your jammies, in bed, whilst drinking tea so....

Online shopping has its pros and cons. So long as I dont want to send anything back then I'll be a happy chappie. I hate sending stuff back, its a total palaver.

Anyway just need to think about the rest. I have noooo idea what to get parents and grandparents. Everyone else is DONE!

Comfort Food, Dontcha Just Love It!

I thought this macca cheese was a goner, it didnt seem to be going as smoothly as previous attempts.......turns out it was the best I've ever made!

And easy on the tongue too, yum yum, am stuffed!

I didnt eat the whole tray....but I could have!!!



Time to settle down and watch little Eton Road - I heart them!

My Tongue

It appears I have an infected tongue.

This is causing much hilarity in my little world however it is actually bloody sore and I am missing my food!

Everyone is asking how I ended up with an infected tongue....I entirely blame Mister Man. But I cant tell them that, can I! So I'm putting it down to too hot chilli, a spicy pizza, too much chocolate, and biting my fingers too much. Its not Mister Man's fault at all though, I just like trying to make him feel bad. And one of these days he might!

Friday, November 10, 2006

I'm just back from the shops. I bought 48 toilet rolls and a duvet and 2 pillows. I'm having a pillow overload now! And a toilet roll overload too!

Leanne put an offer in on a flat yesterday and it was accepted - yeeeeaaahhh!! We're all responsible homeowners now! With the exception of 1....but she's trying. If she's not got at least a grand saved up by March I'll have something to say about it!!!! She could be married by March though.

My cosy Friday night in has been ruined by a very sore ulcer on my tongue, it is so sore that I actually thought I was getting the dreaded tonsilitis! Am wondering if alcohol will soothe it. All day I've eaten a baked potato with beans & cheese and I couldnt even enjoy it. I was hoping to be tucking into my bag of Flaming Hot Monster Munch by now but I dont think that would be very wise.

I'm going to put my new duvet on my bed, and maybe have a wee lie down for 10 mins, heehee.

Something in the Air!

Everyone is being very durty today!

Thursday, November 09, 2006

Oooh gads I want to bite him.

Hubba hubba!!

Thursday

I still hate work. I don’t actually hate work, I hate the bitches and I hate my desk.

Alison is leaving at 3pm today so at least I will have an hour and a half of peace. Yesterday she broke her tooth on a Snickers. Her boyfriend is a dentist so she went to him to get it fixed. She now has a big Madonna style gap in her teeth. OMG I just burst out laughing thinking about it. I know where I wont be going if I ever have a dental emergency!!

Have decided I would now like a leaving night however I don’t want any of these people there. So it would be just me and the Contractors. And Genivieve. Och maybe a few of my own people and a couple of client people. Max. 2 client people (not including Genivieve). But that would be it.

Ohhhhh god get me out of here.

Oh most definitely. When I worked in The Nimrod Partnership my boss went to one. He loved the ducks in the canal outside and he came in one day ranting and raving saying "I knew it, they know, they flamin know". I asked what he was on about and he said he had duck for his dinner the previous night and when he drove into the car park a duck jumped onto the bonnet of his car - he said it knew he had ate duck.

Sugar Bum Fairies

This place is getting worse as the days go on! I cant even ask for a day off cos my bossman is away to Amsterdam til Thursday.

That bitch Alison, god, after I got moved to the shitty desk they said I could have screens to give me a tiny bit of privacy, well I got the screens but they were second hand and temporary. The new ones finally arrived today but she's sending them back! I'm not even going to attempt to argue with her. She can sit on it and spin.

Billy took me out for lunch, I had a biiiig cheeseburger with chips, coleslaw, side salad, tortillas and a diet Coke. It was delish. Unfortunately I forgot I made a pot of chilli last night, I dont know how I'm going to manage dinner on top of that lunch.

When I came in from lunch Gary McLarry gave me a big choc chip cookie from the canteen too. Am scared for my belly.

Am loving Kerry's pictures on her blog! Keep it up yaaaay!

Louise is still off work with her sore lucy. Last I heard she was eating ice cream so her gob is still in full working order.

Am quite busy today but still dont really feel I'm achieving anything. I need OUTTA HERE!

Oafffft

I got lost on my way to work this morning.

I swear to god I added an extra 15-20 miles onto my journey. I ended up in Kilbarchan, Kilmcolm, Lochwinnoch, and some other places that I dont know the names of.

Am traumatised and have a sore head. The main thing is I got here in the end.

Monday, November 06, 2006

Uh-huuh!

Yuh so this is why I dont go to the shows:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/6119632.stm

Ha! Oh how I would have laughed had I been there holding the coats as usual! Actually I wouldnt have, I would have panicked big time. But laughed afterwards perhaps.

How much weight has Darren Day put on! I'm shocked.

Lordy I'm bored. Must not Blog when I have nothing to say.

Will do a trawl through Ebay. I need hair stuff.

Sorry for boring you and making you read this mince!!!
OMG ouch just hugely burnt my tongue!

Work was soooo boring today. Louise went home today with a sore lucy so that was me one entertainer down. Bellend didnt send me one email. So I had Kerry and Helen for entertainment. Kerry's email is rotten so that left Helen!

I was sooo lonely. And I dont think Louise will be back tomorrow.

"All by maself......dont wanna be all by maself aaanymoooore".

And that I'm afraid is all the news I have.

Am going to get my box of chocolates in the hope that they will soothe my burnt tongue.

OMG Hubba Hubba!


FFS!

Some people are just plain ignorant!!

I dont know why I bother trying to eat lunch at this stupid desk. Every time I attempt it I am continually interrupted.

I Give Up!

Sunday 5th November

Just home, shoved baked potato down my throat, I feel i bit hyper, need to caaaalm down maaan. What did I do today? I went out with Kerry, we got through a fair few shops in a short space of time. Her flat is beeeyoootiful and she should be very proud of herself for pulling it all together. I certainly couldnt have done it, I am hopeless when it comes to things like that. My problem is I'm too use to having things done for me. Which wont get me far in life! Anyways. Evil George was less scary today. I think he's too big to pounce now, he seems to have mellowed.
Once I dropped Kerry off I went straight to my mum's. They were having a wee display, I thought I'd miss it but actually they had 2 boxes so I got there in time for the 2nd box.



Went to Braehead. I got my favouritest chocolates EVER! Two boxes! And a Lush has opened in Braehead so I got a couple of things. Kerry paid for everything which was stupid.




Bellend text while I was in my mum's. I dont know why he text, it was entirely pointless. If he would stop texting maybe I would be able to get on with things a lot quicker. I told him everything that comes out his gob is a big fat lie. Needless to say he didnt reply to that one.

Anyhoo am off to put my new face mask on (above) and eat chocolates (also above) and hopefully forget about work tomorrow!
Oh.My.God. My belly is going to explode.

I just ate black pudding, square sausage, 2 links, white pudding, fried egg, a huge big roll and 2 mugs of tea. I dont know how I'm going to make it to Kerry's cos I dont think I'll fit in my car.

And last night I had a Chinese for dinner, it was disgusting, I mostly ate chips dipped in sauce. I had no lunch or breakfast so hopefully I'll get away with it .

Jesus my diet is absolutely awful.

Saturday, November 04, 2006

Today I woke up with a sore head. And I've still got it almost 4 hours later.

After giving it a bit of thought I've decided its because I cant remember the last time I had a piece of fruit or a vegetable. I've been living on cake and Supernoodles this week.

So, later today I'm going shopping for said items. Also gonnae get Christmas cards and wrapping paper yaaaay! There are only 51 days until Christmas and I only have one proper wage left, I need to get my ass in gear!!

Last night was quiet, Leanne came over and we got a chippy, I was knackered as usual on a Friday night so went to bed as soon as Leanne left.

I'm actually back in bed right now, cant muster up any motivation to get dressed. Also Mr Postman just delivered this month's edition of Glamour mag, so I'm peeking through it, looking at all the lovely things I cant afford! I dont know why I subscribe to this magazine, I cant afford a single thing in it. Well I could maybe buy one thing but it would use up all my savings. Perhaps if James paid me back the £230 he owes me I would be a little closer to buying something. When will I learn my lesson when it comes to that boy??

I need to get up and dressed, people to see, things to buy....not from Glamour magazine though!

Friday, November 03, 2006

Its Fridaaaaay!!

Someone bought me these today:




















I cant wait to get stuck in, I flaming love dark chocolate.

Am on couch in jammies, just finished a cake and having a cuppa. Lovely.

Took huge Amazon box round to post office so that gets rid of the hair trimmer and straightners!

Roll on bedtime, cos I'm tired.

Yes I am old ok!

Thursday, November 02, 2006

Look Who's Baaaack!

Reunited and it feels so good
Reunited cos we understood
There's one perfect fit
And sugar this one is it
We both are so excited
Cos we're reunited, hey hey!


He's back!!

He came back all shiny and clean. And I immediately got him covered in sticky cake and crumbs. I'm rubbish, I know.

Wednesday, November 01, 2006

Wee Lappy




Look what he's been through!


Hope he's ok!!
