It's been a while

Sat, 16 Sep 2006 09:56:08 +0200

Had a lot on this week, work has been mega stressful and hubby has had man-flu

Up early this morning as hubby went to work so tidied up, put some washing in and we're off out when he gets back to buy a new wardrobe as the one we inherited with the house is shite and doesn't fit a pair of shoes in it !!

Looked around the house this morning and realised that we've been here over two years and haven't even painted the living room!!! It's a neutral cream anyhow so wasn't like we really HAD to paint and now I'm too afraid as we had cream carpet fitted, even with dust-sheets you can guarantee that paint will get in there somewhere

The sun is shining outside and I have the windows open, nice to have a Saturday (first in a long time) where there are no interruptions and I can do some writing, enjoy a quiet shower, there's not even many cars passing outside ... either that or I'm so chilled I'm not noticing them lol

Everything is quiet on the western front with hubbys side of life i.e. ex and child...makes a change! Sometimes wonder if it is the calm before the storm!!!

Hope everyone is wickedly well..miss you all loads...keep in touch xxx

Lazy Sundays :)

Sun, 10 Sep 2006 18:55:50 +0200

Sunday is now coming to a close and boy has it been a lovely sunny and warm one!

Awoke at 8am for bladder relief, tried to ignore it, but no chance, headed downstairs to see step-son having the same idea although it looked as though he had been watching a dvd in his room for at least an hour already!

No sooner had i sauntered back upstairs, hubby had now appeared from the pit and his bladder was giving him the same jip so headed in the same direction soon after.

Back to bed to enjoy some Sunday R&R and fell blissfully back to sleep until I was awoken by sister growling down phone (and shouting at the kids at the same time!!) saying that the kids had woken her at the crack of dawn to have her try to get the printer working as it had failed the previous evening! She explained how they needed it for their homework and that M had thrown mouse across bedroom in temper and that probably didn't work now either!

Eventually talked her through the process and got it working for her again to the delight of her and the kids, happy in the knowledge that Sunday (it was now 10am) would continue with some sort of normality as she had hoped.

Hubby asked if I would like to join him and step-son swimming, wasn't keen at first given that I had only consumed ONE cup of tea (need at least five to get me going!) but decided to agree and thought it would be good to get out and relax now and again of a weekend rather than stressing over the housework blah blah.

Headed off to pool and it was soooooooooooo cold, thought about retreating after 10 minutes to the changing rooms but I realised that nobody would let me so beared with it and tried to attempt few strokes given that I haven't swum in years! Was quite enjoyable, chlorine in eyes stung and the smell made me want to vomit but otherwise was ok!

Step-son decided to lob his arm-bands off even though we said that it was best at this stage to keep them on and I commented to hubby how he was so unafraid of the water, it wouldn't take him long to learn.

Well..............next things we knows............the little bugger is swimming all by himself!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You'd swear he was my kid the way I whooped him out of the water kissing and hugging him and telling how proud I was!!! Think he appreciated it though, especially when hubby was quick to get in on the action too...poor bugger didnt have a chance with me cos i practically stopped the kid in his tracks I was so dumbfounded by it!!!!

Headed up to mountains then for an ice-cream, did take a pic, but have no lead at the moment so will have to post later. Such a beautiful place it is. Sheep shit everywhere and they pounce on you if they have the faintest idea you may have something to eat!

Lovely day all round really, am now sipping vino collapso and have back door open with pleasant evening breeze seeping through

MMMM what's that smell

Thu, 07 Sep 2006 20:36:35 +0200

It's my cooked stoooopid!!!!!!! I got off my hiney and shoved some pasta in a bowl, grabbed the cook-in-sauce (ok I know I cheated but I'm still graduating in the kitchen department!) then realised that I didn't have enough sauce for the pasta arghhhhhhhhhhh

Time to improvise

Grabbed a tin of tomato's, some worcestshire sauce, chilli sauce, gave it a good mix and it was bloody gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plenty of parmesan and bob's your uncle, meal on the table within half an hour which all enjoyed!

Darling daughter was out 'watching the boys play football' *wink* *wink* derrr those teenagers eh..........and briefly showed her face, think she smelt the grub, walloped a spoonful down her mouth and commented on how gorgeous it was..........then as I wouldn't let her take a bowl of it out into the street, decided that she would now head down the chippy to get something she COULD eat on the street!!!!!!!!! grrrrrrr but no doubt will be in soon with belly growling and sinking a bowl of the good stuff !!

Now enjoying a peaceful glass of wine, tapping away on this and watching that programme where they try to sell shares in their business to a panel of men and women...........god they're brutal!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This afternoon continued

Thu, 07 Sep 2006 20:25:01 +0200

So off I heads to my next place of work to help them out..........never seem to have any myself but there you go, was an opportunity of catching up with me old work mates and having a gossip.

Bessie mate from work said how she hoped I'd get something else work wise as I had plenty more years of working and it was time I found something I enjoyed as life is far too short to hate going there everyday, and she's right.

Was a rather enjoyable afternoon and I found that my stress jitters were non-apparent and i was smiling and laughing with my work mates, something I haven't done in a long time and can't wait to go back tomorrow for a couple of hours.

Have returned home and spoken to hubby about my appointment with nurse and explained how I really need to bring my stress down, he's always there for me but tends to get a little het-up when he feels he can't help me He's always the one who hears my moans first hand and for that I thank him, he's always the one to cuddle me when I'm down and for that, I love him and he's always the one who makes me belly laugh and for that, I adore him.

Time to let things go that I don't need to worry about and start building my life how I want it, not how I would wish for it to go.

Where am I??

Thu, 07 Sep 2006 19:51:11 +0200

This is a question I ask myself a lot lately.

When I open my eyes in the morning, when I get dressed for work, when I drive there, whilst I'm there, when I drive home and during the quieter moments of an evening.

Today bore no real difference from another, other than I got to leave work for two hours........one for lunch and the other to pay a visit to my docs for my three year check (the girls know what I mean) involving something resembling a metal sugar dummy and a lollipop stick!!!!!! OH JOY!!!!!!!!!!

THIS MORNING

Atmosphere much the same in pokey-hole but the sun was shining which made a little bit of a difference. Post remained on stairs for an hour today until I moved it in a westerly direction towards Myrtle's desk but not actually on it...beats me why I'm scared of just putting it there like she does but there ya go, never one to cause trouble and I'm crap at putting on a fake smile!

Low and behold only half an hour after it was placed on cupboard, did she pick it up and actually do it!!

AFTERNOON

So off I trots to the GP and am quickly greeted by my usual nurse who ushers me straight to an available room and we begin to chat about things in general, tests are done quickly and we carry on with our chat. Thought it was now time to take the opportunity of discussing with her the way I was feeling at the moment and how I've been suffering with what can only be described as 'the jitters'. Told her how I suffer most days and my heart races, I get breathless, flutters in the throat and generally feeling under the weather. She agrees that she's certain it's panic attacks but that it's not normal for me to be suffering on a daily basis and that I should make an appointment with GP for them to carry out an ECG to rule anything nasty out. Asked her professional opinion, what did she really think it was, and she is certain that it is stress related but nevertheless, something else could be causing it which needs to be checked.

Dont know if I feel relieved or worse!!!!!! But I know that I need to reduce my stress levels, not that certain situations are going to be easy to change but I have to make some headway because I'm far too young to be suffering like this, I want to enjoy my life without the constant fear that today will be another one of 'those days' wondering when the next attack will strike

The job front

Thu, 07 Sep 2006 00:19:51 +0200

Well as some of you know I applied for another position but I regret to inform you that it is no longer to be

Unfortunately, as this country decided to refrain from teaching welsh to its communities some god knows how many years ago, then the welsh language has practically vanished and thus I cannot have this job

It was, you see, bilingual of which i am not and only know a little of my mother tongue....little now being the operative word for the language and not my tongue..arghhhhhhhhh digging a hole there

Wrote them a nice mail nonetheless to say how deeply disappointed i was and to keep me in mind in the future...looks doubtful..am sooo sad!

Ah well onward and upward, my debut into media will have to wait......perhaps they're not ready for me anyhow!

Are you wearing any knickers???

Thu, 07 Sep 2006 00:04:54 +0200

Yes I know you're probably wondering about this title too...again the same shall become apparent.

Didnt want to write it all in one blog as you would be snoring at half way point!!

Gets home sooooooooooo stressed out from work that I have been suffering intermittent panic attacks and palpitations and as I have doc's appt tomorrow, am going to discuss this with him as i really don't want to feel like this and don't believe that I should have to suffer any more than I am with these symptoms.

No sooner had I flopped on sofa than my phone was ringing and was colleague from work who from the tone of her voice, i could imagine her huddled in dark alley-way complete with black mac, shades and a trilby for disguise as she said.......

"i'm going to tell you something but i swear if you repeat it i'll deny all knowledge of the same!"

Told her that as usual she had not only my undivided attention but also my assurance that i would not divulge the source.

Turns out that no sooner had I left head office, 'someone' was phoning and complaining about me from pokey-hole. If that wasn't enough, not long after, senior partner was also phoning and asking of how much sick leave i had taken since a couple of months back!!!!!

As source said, she is not entirely sure if the two are connected but it is one helluva coincedence and given the atmosphere when i returned to pokey-hole, i confirmed that information is probably correct at time of gossiping!

Well look out all you trouble-making, back-stabbing louts as you are...........I have friends in high places and all of whom will back me up and agree as to their attitudes and rudeness

I remember not so long ago being stood by fax machine and asked by a certain someone (of the female variety) if I had any knickers on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She had been staring at my rear view and wondered why I had no knicker line!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahem.........doesn't that count for sexual harassment????

Does in my book kiddies!

Faxed up

Wed, 06 Sep 2006 23:57:05 +0200

You're probably thinking ......."what's with the title?"..........it will all become apparent after I explain as to the day I've had.

Wakes up with a very fluffy head, literally one glass too many last night and instead of getting out of bed at 7am or even 7.30am come to that, I emerged from duck 'n' down around 8am thinking "OH SHIT AM GOING TO BE LATE" then concocting thoughts of how i could possibly get out of going to work AND sound feasible

Decided that there wasn't a good enough excuse and remembered that I had to visit another office this morning to pick up a working fax machine as our two had gone kapputt and as i was the only one who drove in our pokey hole, then I was designated gopher. Didn't mind so much as I got to see the girls I used to work with and have a lil catch up. Had already been ordered by senior colleague that i was to be at this office half hour before my working day began so that I would then be able to get to pokey hole by 9am!!!!

Ummm yeah right love....i start work at 9am and that means I ain't picking owt up til then!!! Staggers to office and swigs a cuppa with the girls and nit-picks over who's the worst person to work with lately.........I WON HANDS DOWN....all because Myrtle's name is now synonamous with any reference to what being a pain in the arse is actually like! Everyone knows her for her rudeness and for being so obnoxious and I have now been crowned St.Lola in office as I have the patience of one obviously for sticking the stress so long

Heads down to pokey hole by around 9.45am.....ok the tea went on for a while :0 and had to carry fax machine through village, in the process pulling muscle in shoulder

Gets to office and tries to hook up contraption only to find that it has no cartridge!!!!!!!!!! Phones head office who say that I will have to return at lunch time to pick it up and by now am panicking as to how much work i can get done by my deadlines

Heads to other office at lunch and picks up pie & chips for me and hubby to enjoy a very rare dinner break together then flies (not literally!) back to pokey hole to get this baby up and running.

Was a no go situation

Fax refused to work, point blank, no messing, was having none of it! By now my temper was extremely frayed and I had tonnes of work piling up.

Remembers the post which hadn't been opened as Myrtle had decided to deposit it on my desk by time i had returned (for some reason this has been happening a lot this week) and for which I refused to open as I was far too much of a busy person today, there it remained for rest of day until all went home and I saved my pride by doing it once they had left

Myrtle being her typical painful and annoying self got on my nerves so much that I told my boss I was handing me notice in, can take no more I said, and need to debunk the stress of it all. She has advised me not to make any rash decisions until she returns and assures me she shall sort situation....i'll believe it when i see it!

Here's to all you girls if you're feelin a lil bit shitty at the moment

Sometimes I see her down by the river
The water dances on her skin
She can captivate to hit the ice
But she never lets you in
In the dark she lingers
Like a tear without a soul

And I what a lonely girl
Trying to find her way
In this mixed up messed up world
And I see so many faces just like her
So many broken hearts in the world
And I what a lonely what a lonely girl

He said lately she's been watching the weather
The weather doesn?t know what to do
cause sometimes when its cold outside
That?s when she?s feeling blue
But I see through her sadness deep into her soul
All she's wants to have is someone she can love to make whole

And I what a lonely girl
Trying to find her way
In this mixed up messed up world
And I see so many faces just like her
So many broken hearts in the world
And I what a lonely what a lonely girl

Isn't it regrettable?
Oh isn't it regrettable
She finds her love and then she lets it go
And I see so many faces just like her
So many broken hearts in the world
And I what a lonely what a lonely day

And I what a lonely girl
Trying to find her way
In this mixed up messed up world
And I see so many faces just like her
So many broken hearts in the world
And I what a lonely what a lonely girl

And I what a lonely what a lonely girl

We're here to help?!?!?!? Part 2

Tue, 05 Sep 2006 18:48:25 +0200

Well i've just got off the phone to them........52 mins after waiting! and they've told me that I was £108 in credit with my gas account!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get this...........they advised me NOT to be refunded the money as they feared my gas account would go into arrears during the winter period....blahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Stayed on phone and bloody told them that I couldn't give a shite that their prices has increased by 100% this year and I wanted my money back! Poor guy tried and tried to get me to leave it there "for my own benefit" but I was staunch and said NOOOOOOOOOOOO

I said "its my bloody money and i want it back, if my bills go up in winter so be it but I want it back NOWWW!"

Suffice to say that it's on its way to me bank and British Gas are not making an inch of interest on MY money this month.......check yours people cos they're making money off us left right and centre for their callcentre workers to have bloody vouchers for this and that and bonuses! No wonder they've made huge profits!

Another job well done for SOOOOOPER-BLOGGER!!!!!!!!!

We're here to help?!?!??!

Tue, 05 Sep 2006 18:19:27 +0200

Like hell are they!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn you British Gas!!!!!!!!!!!! I have arrived home from work and decided to phone the buggers to sort this crap out. Telephoned at 5.45pm, by 6pm I decided to stay on hold and take a shower, phone on shelf on loudspeaker in shower with me! Slipped in the shower as I was sliding from shower to shelf as phone went rather quiet and Verdi's Messiah (or whatever shit they were playing!) had cut out only for me to hear about energy saving tips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quite ironic really cos they were telling me how cheap having a shower was compared to a bath!!!

Am now out of shower and sat with phone on lap on loudspeaker still waiting for some moron call-centre worker to answer the bloody phone!!!!!! It's an 0845 number so no doubt I have already spent about ten quid on this call so far.

Am tremendously pissed off at this point and have a feelin that it is going to get no easier when they tell me that I HAVE to pay this amount, if this is the case I'll be stopping my direct debit and moving supplier.

Trouble is.......someone told me yesterday that because I've signed up to the 'no increase' then it is in the small print that I can't get out until 2010!!!!!!

Think we will be freezing our parts off this winter for fear of going bankrupt and losing home in the process!

Havin a whinge - politics

Sun, 03 Sep 2006 23:49:28 +0200

Ok this is me like it or lump it but I'm having another whinge

A friend asked me for some information on housing benefit and stuff about rentals this evening and as she doesn't have the internet I said I would do her a favour and have a look at what she may be entitled to etc

Job done, provided her with info then decided to let curiosity kill me, so to speak, and inputed details of 'someone' just to see if I was right about my previous ranting etc and also how much I would get if i were to be a single person on my actual wages.

Here are the results.........

If I was single person with two children working 18 per week I would have (on national minimum wage)for a house rental of £500 per month.........a housing benefit of £75 per week and a council tax benefit of £6 per week

If I was a single person with one child working for 37hrs per week I would have £5 housing benefit and a nil amount for council tax benefit

To say I was dumfounded was an understatement.

If I am a single person working MORE hours, then obviously I would have MORE outgoings as far as travel was concerned therefore should have a little more help. I would obviously be paying MORE National Insurance and Income Tax and having LESS Working/Child Tax so surely would need MORE help???????

As it is, my argument is no different, single parents are better off working less hours as they are receiving on average for two children (based upon national minimum wage and working 16-30hrs) £140 per week for doing shit all!!!!!!!!!! AND THEY KNOW IT!!!!!!

The government must surely be aware that people like this are working the system yet they are the ones enforcing such systems and letting them get away with it.

I am currently aware of someone who is claiming everything under the sun and having a bloke live with her whilst doing so and to say I am ticked off is an understatement.

Aside from splitting on them, (and let's face it, it's rare that they even investigate these things) I am at a loss as a british citizen as to how I can make a difference and change the way our government allows such benefits. If the children are at full-time/part-time school/nursery then I fail to see how these parents are unable to go out to work for the time the chilren are not in their care and how the government see fit to pay them for literally doing NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Something has to give people, I don't know about you but I'm sick of paying for those that don't deserve it and it's about time each and everyone of us take a step in reporting the above or simply not using their vote at the next election. It seems whoever we elect to run our country, nothing is done apart from privatisation of the industries that MADE our country what it is and look after those who do shit all for it in the first place.........and that includes immigrants who see fit to walk in and not work! Sorry to sound racist, but I'm glad that the government are now enforcing the new legislation that if you choose to come to our country then you must hold some sort of qualification or ability to work and pay your taxes!

Working dilemmas

Sun, 03 Sep 2006 21:55:32 +0200

got to thinking bout an old friend from work tonight.

I moved offices a year ago, we relocated to set up a department in a different location and on the day I left for the move, my mate from work had a tear in her eye and lots of hugs and said how we'd both miss our chats even though we could still converse over the phone it wouldn't be the same.

She was right, we hardly spoke and tended to phone eachother of an evening to catch up on how her office was and mine etc. I had a sort of disciplinary the other month due to the fact that my work was shit and they were kicking off about it but didn't bother to realise that we were one staff down (there is only two of us secretarial where I am now) and I was having to handle three jobs in one!

Unfortunately for her, my old mate, she had to type the nasty letter to me given to her by the boss which until now I never even considered. It was only after a couple of months of her not answering my calls through the internal office line and when she did, was 'always to busy to chat' that i thought about it tonight and wondered if it was because of THIS LETTER.

Got to chatting this evening and she did in fact feel very bad about what was written and how she didn't agree with any of it. I explained to her that I really didn't hold her responsible for any of it and could understand entirely how she must have felt awful and thankfully we have aired our views on the current structure of the office politics and how she hopes that I do get another job as this place doesn't deserve half of us.

Was nice to catch up and realise that no matter what, us lot will always still stick together and realise that there is a "Them and Us" situation where we work and that no matter how hard we toil everyday, shit will be our thanks and no slight error will go un-noticed however the good stuff never has any light shone on it.

Such is life..........but i'm glad we got to chatting again

Going to take it easy today as am still aching like a dog (not sure how a dog aches but there ya go!)

SS due any moment so the peace that I have enjoyed most of the weekend is to be broken any second as is usual!

Have donned my comfy clothes and only going to attempt some light housework for the rest of the day, have the rest of the week to get stressed and tired in the hell-pit so I'm going to spend my weekend relaxing, something i rarely do! Am sure the hell-pit has Sick Building Syndrome due to its mustiness of the cobwebs not dusted away since 1900 and the fact that it's a Health and Safety Inspector's paradise for all the trailing wires which I have tripped over numerous times jolting my back! The lighting is shit and gives off a yellow tinge to everything rendering me dizzy most of the time.....that reminds me, must get my glasses fixed this week.

Ah well, off to finish my tea and enjoy the next five minutes as from then on, my day shall be one of children's laughter (hopefully) and the sound of Scooby Doo blasting from the t.v.!!!

Had my hair done

Sat, 02 Sep 2006 18:02:14 +0200

its now brown with highlights, felt that it would be more appropriate to have it dyed a normal colour rather than 'smack you in the face' red should i be fortunate to get an interview!

incredibly tired the last few days and have now developed pains in my knee and calf and in the side of my hand. tried to dispel the fear that it could be DVT (dad had it a couple of years ago) and think that it may be the fact that day in day out i have to use an audio pedal and type a million words a minute, this cant be doing me any good and is probably why i have had a headache for nearly four days on and off (must get reading glasses fixed).

Now have hot water bottle on my feet as they too are as freezing as me hands, back is very sore too so this is definately work related given that the other month I was off for three weeks through back problems due to work. Typical really, was only thinking the other day how well my back was doing lately........spoke too soon again

Having a relaxed night in, hubby is doing his thing and i'm doing mine...must move about soon though as bum feels like someone is booting me in cheek with steel toe cap.......not a nice feeling!

Contemplating wine consumption but to be quite honest am very tired and think that I might enjoy a little cat nap...yawnnnnnnnnnnn
