Early nights and exercise

Where do the fooking weekends go?

It's SO unfair, they pass by in a blink...

2 minutes ago i was sat here looking forward to my chish and fips, now 3 nights and 2 days later my bum is plonked firmly back at my desk and it's NOT FAIR!!!!

It's only since I've stopped going to the pub that they pass in a blur, you think it would be the other way round, memory loss due to the amber nectar taken into consideration.

Friday 26th

Was a wild one, people with social lives stop reading now, as the jealousy could nearly kill you.
AP had the day off, he was ligged on the bed as the sky + was playing up again, i fixed it, we changed the bedding together, i had a bath, then drove him to the fish shop in my clean p.j's while the washer was on with his work/gym stuff.
We ate our take-out........Mmmm! then watched t.v, i sewed Andy's jumper up, did another darks wash and some tumble drying, Big brother and bed at 10.30pm........i told you, you'd be green with envy. You shouldn't have read on.

Saturday 27th

Up and about at 9.20am, i went to the swimming baths after a quick coffee and putting a white wash on, Andy went to check his oil/tyre pressure and called at his Ma's for a bacon butty, i was back at 11.30am, feeling all invigorated......emptied washer, put towels/rugs wash on, bath, breakfast, dropped him at the rugby, then called to see Marlo who was full of cold, nipped to Next and bought some maternity jeans, that are falling down, boo! maybe i've dropped a dress size, since i've given up drinking and my only excess weight is my tummy!?? it's a thought!
Home at 4ish, fell into bed for a 1 1/2hr disco kip..........yeah!!! fetched Andy (who'd changed his mind about staying out and getting blathered wi lads!!??) at 6.30pm.......home, he had a bath, then Ruth and Mark came visiting! yippee! v.nice to see them, we just watched the box, ate snacks, drank tea....etc! i spent all evening trying to get the cats in, they left at 10ish..we had soup and sarnies, then to bed for reading and t.v and asleep before we turned into pumpkins at midnight.

Sunday 28th

Coffee, reading, t.v and t'uther up at 11am, light brekkie.......ligging around, called for the Mother at 1.30pm, Out came Jim with his coat on (who invited him?) tee hee! out afternoon itinerary was walking in the woods with a borrowed Labrador, while my Mother nattered to her Sister about life in the 50's......lovely afternoon, dropped parents at Garden house, moi, AP and Sandy the dog set off up to the deer park, wrapped in our winter togs, traipsing through the mud up past where we camped as Ventures in 1989 and back to the main road, passing Jack and Steve with a chain saw, chopping trees down (Andy's turn to be jealous). Up to the house, bit of baby talk and a brew, said our goodbyes, back on the M62, threw M&J out at home and back to our abode at 4pm for the footie, timing or what?

I bathed while the match was on, then checked the roast, did the veg and trimmings, AP made today's sarnies, washed up after dinner, read the Sunday papers, then we both did some sofa napping before BB finale, up to bed for Trial and Retribution as seems to be the norm now on a Sunday (ganning to bed at 9pm? what's all that about, long ago seem the days of Sunday shandies and the Horncastle £2.50 take-away pizza's).
Threw the cats out of bedroom at 11.30pm, so we could get our much needed shut eye to recover from "mad for it" weekend.


They say your life changes forever once you've had a child, noone mentions the run up.......tee hee!

11 weeks to go

Am trying my best to sound chipper, but I'm bloody exhausted, the more sleep i get the more tired i seem to be.

Quick run down of weeks events, Monday evening...after I'd got the car back (yippee), horrid traffic on the way home, Andy was sat in the living room, with all his woollies on....yes it's cold, that's why i have a scolding hot bath as soon as i get through the door every night.
Unhealthy tea of cheeseburgers (i swear I've started eating more drek since he moved in), followed by 2 or 3 puddings.......joke!

T.V., bed and the usual evening rituals.

Tuesday 23th

RMS's birthday, happy Bday Matt (belatedly)....my day was a whirlwind of gritting my teeth through the inane behaviour of my work colleagues, shopping for tat i didn't need in my lunch hour (1 suede cat bed, 1 hot water bottle, 1 white pram suit, more bird seed), wonder if Next's taking have gone down now I've stopped buying my weekly going out tops and switched my addiction to shopping for baby gear and general household crap? was tired and shabby by close of play, I'd set off to work foul and my mood had worsened throughout the day.

By the time AP had got back from the gym at 7.30pm, i was ready to offload all my gripes on him.
Felt much better to soothing words like, only 1 more payday then your out of there, you know what they're like, leave earlier if you're tired....hahhhhhaaa, I'm such a moaning Minnie.

Chicken for tea, it was dry as a bone, i'd even wrapped it in bacon........(not allowed to do chasseur anymore coz of the weather) it was still foul, veg etc........more cake, for baby! bed at 9.20pm, SO COLD! we were fratching over the new water bottle, Shameless at 10pm, sparko for 11pm.

Wednesday 24th

Was overly exhausted so knocked work, heavenly day :o) (am kidding myself it will be like that the whole time i am on maternity leave....a few differences, i will have NO car, it will be Andy's money I'll be spending, then the small detail of the baby's arrival.....oops!). Anyhow my leisurely pamper me day that was yesterday.

Rose at 11am, side few washing bits, mopped kitchen floor, had a coffee, hot bubble bath, put all heating on full whack, dressed in nice clothes (i.e not work combats, or indoor p.j's) went to Kay's for lunch, she'd made fresh mushroom soup and some random open sandwiches, that had ham, lettuce, coleslaw, tomatoes, grapes and couscous on!!?), nattered for 2 hours, being Kay she told me all horror stories about the birth, she is nutty as a fruitcake........hopefully she won't be round all the time, telling me how to bring up my child (that's what Marlo is for), she went to get Wills at 3pm from School after telling me he was in the retard class for his maths, i left and called in Tesco's to get Ap his spring water and a French stick, bumped into Mother, who was buying random shit she didn't need (that's where i get it from), she told me she'd bought so many bottles of comfort, bleach, airfreshners etc that were on offer, she'd no room in the house for them and she's started storing them in the garage...........is this what I've to look forward to in my old age?

Anyhew, she made some comment about Andy and his bottled water and that's why he was so skinny (this is the boy, who's eaten a full box of Bakewell tarts and a box of Yorkie ice-creams this week and thinks nothing of having three puddings, to finish off his high in protein, low in anything that resembles a vegetable dinner). She called for a coffee, just as the heavens opened, stayed an hour, having her JPS and a piece of our M&S chocolate cake, washed down with nasty fine blend....yak, that aint real coffee!!

Off she toddled to put her veg on at 4pm, after 1 hr of moaning about Jim......i tinted my hair, then was happily watching Paul o' Grady when worker boy came in from his job, to change into jogging stuff, then off he went... running through puddles at high speed, to make damn sure every bit of his attire would be covered in mud on his return for slave girl here to wash said items....lazy pamper day over :o( after a quick shower.

Put the tea/washer on, followed by sandwich making, tumble drying, scrubbing the hearth with a stiff brush, wringing clothes through the mangle, making pastry with one hand and skinning a rabbit for tomorrows dinner with the other....oh!!!??! I'm mixing my life up with that of a 23 year old Marlene, the way she goes on.
All chores done and dusted, wet washing on airer, water bottle filled and Bedfordshire for DHW'S...Andy felt the baby kick for the 1st time..........v.cute moment!!
Both of us asleep before 11.30pm, after all the excitement.

Thursday 25th

At the midwife for 9.30am, another nice lie-in, i could get used to these!! everything fine and dandy, BP, heartbeat, size etc, only.........Baby Breech....if it doesn't shift it's bum by 36 weeks, they'll try and turn it at the hospital, or I'm in for a C-section............oh me!
Saw Miss.Hind, with Amber and Elliott, cutie.......then shot to work, was tired and moggy all day, it seems to be an eternity away until i break up.
Nice email from Matt until he called me Sad, Old and pregnant...........nice!
Ruth maile, worried about my whereabouts......I'm here, in body and part time at the most but never the less.
Think I've only seen Ruthrack once this year, not seen Steven at all........since boxing day, mind you i can count on one hand the friends i have seen since Xmas, yes i know i don't go to the pub anymore, but no fucker ever txt to see how we are...yes i know coz you're all reading the blog, i know your game....righto got that off my chest!
Bought the cats a new loo at dinnertime...don't ask!, fannied around at my desk all afternoon, and home for 6.10pm, AP fast asleep on the sofa, awoke him to go on our weekly jaunt, to the supermarket......how exciting? not!

He was dragging the wheelie bin up to the top, when he got accosted by the long haired yettie from NO 1. about the note I'd left on his BMW telling him to leave us more room to get out, tee hee! seemingly he was very apologetic, yes i should think so.............get some Vosene on your locks..........while your at it! you greaseball!!

Morrison's was all the joy i expected it to be, Andy insists on paying, think it's his male bravado...like he's caught the meat or something! anyhew it's fine with me, he unpacked as per, i bathed, then we had tea, soup for moi, chicken for him.......felt quite contented and chilled by the time BB came on at 9pm, watched Skins on E4....couldn't take the "cool guy" seriously knowing that a few years ago he was the geek in "About a Boy"....had a lovely nights sleep.

Friday 26th

Luth was miaowing at the door at 6.30am, wanting his wafer thin turkey, he'd obviously realised the time, Andy...no overtime, was having a much needed lie-in.
Like the cat cared!!!
Friday...that'd be today I'm quite chipper, the baby hasn't stopped dancing since approx 7am, lazy day...both Paul and Leigh out, David is being really nice and compassionate.
SO glad it's the weekend, have absolutely NO plans, other than fish and chips for tea.........swimming in the morning, then that's it! hoorah.........I'm sidestepping all the washing that's awaiting, cooking the joint etc.

Have emailed all the girls to try and arrange an eating night out at Aldo's, Sarah is probably home 9th-12th.........so can we pencil in Saturday 10th?
Let me know girlies, baby's hungry!

Meet the parents, swim, flicks and the AA

Thursday 18th

Went and bought the babies car seat in my lunch hour on the company credit card, reight do, how good is David?
Put garden back together at t.time (retrieved BBQ and bird feeders and storm damaged furniture), unloaded car seat after Andy had got out of the shower, then off to Morrison's (bocker store, give me Tesco's any day, you only spend more in bigger supermarkets) Andy was £85 lighter by the time we got home at 7.30pm, ( i rest my case), and we were laden down with shopping bags full of meat and cornettos mainly.

Unpacked..him, bathed..me, fish for tea, bed by 10pm, nookie, t.v., magazines and asleep by 11.30pm, that's a late night for us, but he'd no overtime the next day, so we were living life by the seat of our pants.

Friday 19th.

Lovely day, Andy was wide awake and the cricket was on at 1/2 8, everyone at work in high spirits, as is the case when David isn't dieting, few last bits purchased for buffet, home early as i needed to take Paul for his Z4 (it had been at the garage getting a new tyre, as the other had a screw in), Andy was ligged on sofa, all cats running riot, i could have cried for him, he's so cute, he'd draped all the clothes that were in the washer over the airer, thinking he was helping, only he'd forgotten to use soap powder...........bless!
Once i'd bathed and Andy had vacced up, we set too making the running buffet for our parents........eek!!! major pressure, G&D arrived at 7.30pm.......my parents were late as Jim was watching Question of Sport, anyhew on the upside the food went down a treat, it was all very serene, power ballads playing on the stereo, the cats behaved and my Father never stopped talking.. for 3 hours, mainly about himself.......struth! poor Gill and Dave couldn't get a word in edge ways, the baby (1st grandchild) was never mentioned, just shite like LCD golf balls, paving slabs, painting and decorating, the church, that horse that won Cheltenham back in 2002......oh i was cringing, the Caffreys was making him more hyper, you'd think he never went out!

They dispersed at 1/2 10, Dad insisting they had a lift so he could talk some more at them, I'm burying my head in Andy's shoulder he's washing up while chuntering "appearing for 1 night only, Jim and his incredible one man show"..........oh jeez!! bed 11pm, jiggered, drained, glad it was all over, but full as a butchers pup........none the less.

Saturday 20th.

D.Turton txt at 10am, to say rugby pitch was waterlogged, so plan B was put into place, off to the Gym for him and the baths for me, he was back an hour later than me, so I'd filled feeders, changed bedding, showered etc and the full English breakfast complete with hash browns was well underway.
Next was lots of sport on the t.v, 2 rugby and 1 football match i recall.........don't mind me, I've 6 1/2 hours of washing, tumble drying of clothes, bedding, rugs, towels etc to keep me busy.........watch what you like......grrr!

Tea of soup and sandwiches, quick change and off to the flicks at the showcase cinemas Leeds........Smoking aces, okay but not brilliant.....we should have listened to Ruth.
Home not too late, stalling the car twice like a clumsy pregnant woman buffoon type driver.
Straight to bed as all this staying in never socialising with anyone takes it out of you you know.

Sunday 21st

The plan was to have a power breakfast (so as not to feel over full for our Sunday roast), nip to look in the Mama's and Papa's in Bramley, have an hours walk round Shibden park, home not too late so Andy could go meet his friends to watch the footie in the pub. (at my insistence, geddout from under me feet).
What actually happened............., SSMS, coffees, fresh fruit, toast jam and banana for AP, quick chat to RMS on the blower, put the lamb in at no.4, then 1/2 way to Bramley.... the STOP sign came on the dash, saying we'd to contact the Citroen dealer, ooh fook, decided to risk it home.
Called Citroen assist, they sent nice AA man, who said engine was 122%, it was too dangerous to drive and he'd tow us to the garage, i volunteered Andy to steer my car while i sat in the breakdown truck chatting to nice man.
We were home with 4 mins to spare, he was in the shower like Jack Flash, John picked him up, i phoned my boss and asked him how i should get to work today, making it quite clear i wouldn't be getting on any bus, he said to come in late and make my own way in, as he'd no one spare to fetch me, plus being Jewish shelling out £20 on a joe baxi was out of the question.

I intended to watch the Devil wears Prada on DVD while he was at the pub, but by the time I'd tidied round, phoned Mum for a lift this morning, prepared roasties and all the veg, bathed, made today's sarnies, he was back.......a bit fresh, but happy as Larry trying to get Maisie (who he calls bulldog, due to the excess weight she's put on in the last year, she is stocky as fook.....bless her) to break dance.
Sunday roast was outstanding, (the lamb having been in for 6 1/2hrs), he washed up, then asked me if i wanted some pudding, showed me what he was having....a Mr.Kipling bake well tart with ice cream topped with revels in the same dish......i passed, we put the DVD on until it went a bit fuzzy 1/2 way through, so up to bed to watch the 2nd half followed by Trial and Retribution...very good and can't wait for the conclusion tonight, then laid chatting a while as i could have a lie-in today yippee!


Monday 22nd

Andy didn't want to go to work at 6.30am today, he felt a bit sick........off you go, you lazy article, that's £100 for baby, what i actually said was he'd feel much better once he got there, in my best Gill P molly coddling voice.
Me and the moggies went back to sleep till 9.30am, quick phone call to the garage, Mum came to pick me up at 10am, so I've heard all about Steven moving back today, Ruth's pancakes, Auntie Margaret's operation, Martyn's washer, the dolls house.....etc etc all before my 1st cup of coffee.
Spent all morning blogging, then David unplugged my computer to change 4 gang for a 6 gang adapter so he could plug the heater in, so i lost the entire master piece....grrr!
But on the upside, Andy's felling much better, they've put a new sensor in the car, it's fixed, I've been to fetch it, called at M&S for Dave and Morrison's and the bank, am blogging again, had an email from Clare who lives in Germany who i used to work with so I'm going to reply to her and Matthew.
Then it'll be home time nearly, no plans for this evening........ :o) heaven!!! so that's my news, not as dull as usual, but relying on the car to break down and your father to show you up is a bit of a poor do, if that's all the gossip you have.........cest la vie.

Midweek wine (that's a moan, not the bottled type that gets you pissed).

There's nothing wrong with being boring.....i have decided!

Everything is back to normal at work as the show has finished, we did very well, sold a lot of drek and some new stock too, all money in the bank.......Leigh commented that he hadn't seen David that happy in 5 years.

It's blinking cold in the office though, i had a sneezing fit at 2am today and hope to god I'm not getting last weeks cold back.

This week has been tame, busy on the shopping and domestic front but otherwise quite uneventful...but then it's only Wednesday, anything could happen.

Monday lunchtime, Morrison's for bananas and brown t.cakes, then the Crown point, i want a cream coloured changing mat and can't find one...boo! nipped to get his lordship more navy poloshirts....£2.50 Primark...glad I'm not wearing them!, I'd forgotten Andy's bank card as he said he'd buy the £80 baby monitors, so i put that job off for another day.
Monday evening, bid jack shit again...Andy at the gym, i bathed, made pork chops for tea (i wonder how much protein the boy actually consumes in 1 week?), i had pie (for baby), then made a howge mistake of having jam Roley poly and custard.........the double pastry helping properly did me in, i was popping Rennie's like nobodies business and moaning like an OAP till v.late in bed, While AP was trying to watch the conclusion of trial and retribution.

Tuesday was a nice day, David caught me looking on the Internet at baby gear and instead of bollocking me, offered to buy us the car seat (how kind is my boss??), Went spending in the lunch hour, v shaped cushion, changing bag, blanket for car seat, sun parasol for pram and some kind of harness thing for Andy to put child on his back while he plays cricket in the summer.......also purchased the monitors on his card and some other random bits, like bird seeds and a scrubbing brush (as he's been using the nail brush to clean his rugby boots).....grrr!
Kay txt to invite me over to lunch (accepted as mates are thin on the ground at present, nobody bothers with me now I'm dull....sob sob!!), Hells emailed in the afternoon to say she's been spurned by some Spaniard bird she fancied and she'll ring one night this week (I'll phone her tonight as she'll forget).

Was exhausted last night, home for 6pm (having put 2 full days in at work) 40 mins in the bath, Andy hadn't gone running coz of the rain, left him sorting the cats out.......by the time I'd done a midweek wash, tumble dried the fooker, made tea (he didn't want the chicken, coz of wind and could he have steak?) what is it a cafe? made today's packup and Andy had washed up it was 8.30pm when i sat down, was siding clothes from airer at 9.50pm, donning on the wet stuff and trying to get under the duvet before Shameless started, I'm really struggling keeping up to all the washing etc and feel a failure as Marlo had 5 kids, & washed for 9 of us including when G&G Denham got old.
It will all be okay when i pack in work, only then I'll be fatter than ever..constantly exhausted and will be struggling to get out of bed............oh me!!

Anyhow Shameless was good, i used my new v shaped pillow to prop myself up like a cripple, Andy was farting and tormenting the cat, then both of us were making "urgh" sounds when my boobs started leaking (we do this every night now, it's like a ritual).......fast asleep at 11pm, till i awoke to sneeze and wee at 2am......6.30am, was up again to wee, then as AP was getting dressed he started to have a full conversation with me, as i was 1/2 awake, he's jabbering "could you get me some elastoplast's today"..........jeez!!!

10 minutes late for work today...........as is the norm, was so late yesterday i even saw Rach, leave work, we both start and finish at 9am, i was in Cleck instead of Leeds at the said hour................arrrrr! neigh bother!
Turned on computer and Gabe had sent me a mail to see whether we wanted Ethan's old cot..........bless, not seen them since Dawn got ill, but hopefully will be able to catch up soon, now her Chemo/Radio is all going well.......he sounded in quite high spirits, can't believe Ethan's 4 next month, where does time go?

As usual I've managed to drone on inanely, brushing aside the fact i had nothing to say, I'll sign off now, need to go to M&S to get some nice grub, having the parents round on Friday night......eek! I hope to god 1. Jim's not pissed, 2. the cats don't jump on the buffet and 3. i don't poison the in-laws.........I'm going to do salmon!

Other weekends plans, after Friday evening is over and done with (we won't need to invite them again before the birth), i intend to take it easy..........I'm so tired! i do need to mend the patio heater though, the top blew off in last weeks winds, instead of retrieving the nuts and bolts and reassembling it, Andy put a bin-liner over the top...........yeah! that'll fix it!!??!

I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, as i really want to do something that'll make the weekend worth while, but I'm so exhausted...once I've done all chores, the big shop, swam, been to the flicks and made a Sunday roast....I'm done in, it's Sunday night..........i feel I've wasted the last 2 days. But what else is there? baby Porray and i need the rest, getting pissed and smoking fags in town like the old days is out of the question, i guess I'd just like to see more of my mates, but it seems the tectonic plates have shifted and all our friends who are in the same boat as us, live further afield...........what's a girl to do???

I'll stop moaning now, ungrateful bitch that i am, i have everything i could ever have wished for and more and I'm still wining like a mule......tut tut!!!!

Don't bother reading this if you've anything better to do.......... like pick your nose

It'll be a quick one, seen as I've done jack sheet!

In fact i might elaborate everything to make me sound more exciting!

Thursday night was obviously really wild, i was home early due to a power cut at work, i'd called at Mothers for a chinwag for an hour and used her phone to book our Ante natal classes while i remembered (2 x 2hr sessions, 1 on labour, 1 on feeding and bathing, very strange........i had it in my head they'd be 1 hr a week for a couple of months and i would meet loads of new mates who wouldn't find me dull as fook), middle brother was at the Mother's talking nonsense for a change!!!.........5.30pm.......erm Andy went for a run! wtf? he wouldn't wait for me to get changed and went without me, so i chatted to Sarah on the phone in my pyjamas for 1/2hr, we slagged Dan off as he is a Moron!!!
Fish for tea, i had seasonal veg, AP wanted chips with his, smothered the whole lot in ketchup and made butties.................he's so classy!

Early to bed and early to rise.................boring!!!!!!

Friday was going to try my best to put a full day in at work, the 1st since Monday.......only me and Leigh in as the others at the show still.
Nice day, we did a quiz in the morning, White rose at lunch, got Andy some work tops and baby a Winnie the pooh cord coat, which i didn't realise said Pooh in big letters across the back.........poor chav baby!

Andy phoned in the afternoon (he finishes at 11.30am, if he does overtime on a Friday), well he'd been to his Mother's for a sandwich and was phoning for no reason other than boredom (put the washer on you lazt fecker), he phoned a 2nd time, saying he'd lost Luther.......as he'd been out for 2hrs.......i left at 4.30pm (having nearly made it till t.time).............home for 5pm.........Luther was sat on the table looking very much alive and well..........struth!!!

Friday big shop at our local Tesco's......didn't need much this week, Andy paid.....good, (most of it was his meat anyhow)!
Home to unpack, bath...p.j's, cheese burgers and chips (healthy) for tea and did a wash to save me one job on Saturday, changed the bedding, which looked far too inviting and tragically we were both in bed well before 10pm (wondering if the girls... Tina, Beth and co. would be out in town in their vest tops drinking voddy and lemonades).................same excuse as last week, Andy up at 6.30pm, moi! lazy fat fooker!!!!

Saturday i had a heavenly lie in till 11am, Andy was back from work and i was frantically trying to pull all the curtains back to make it look like i'd been up hours, it didn't wash........had one hour to come round and make coffees, more washing of oily work togs, sort cats, then dropped Andy at the rugby....and off to swim for me, it was rammed, managed 45 mins without drowning some bocker from a nearby estate, then called at Ruth's on the way home to collect nursery pictures and have a quick coffee (made by Reilley who lives there I'm sure of it). Didn't stay long they were enthralled in Malcolm in the middle and hangover cure butties!

Home for 2pm and spent the next 5hrs.....doing a further 3 wash loads and tumble drying it all, put sealant around bath and sink (bag yourself a bloke and still end up doing all the man jobs yourself), put up new nursery pictures, cleaned big mirror in living room, vacced all upstairs and threw away old cat baskets and put new ones out, all tidy and spick and span, snacked on pies all aft to keep my strength up, collected squiffy boyfriend from rugby club at 8pm, we had hotdogs and Pringles, him to soak up the Stella, moi because gypsy food is the way forward to more spare tyres!!!
Bed at 10pm.........oh me!

Sunday, didn't intend to strike a bat......until Andy decided we should go out and get some fresh air after breakfast (a brisk walk around Shibden park i thought) not...fooking shopping, i can do that in works time, not my weekends.........boo!
Went looking for baby monitors, changing mat, more crib bedding and a Radley changing bag, Birstall retail park, Batley Mill village and Argos, couldn't find anything we wanted, so came home empty handed!!!
Called at Ma's for a brew, Ruth there borrowing the washer, chatted for 1/2hr, then back to cosy abode, p.j's back on, checked on joint, put the Yorkshires and roasties in, read the papers............yippee! this is the life!

Football and afternoon sofa naps, ate our Sunday roast, used Grandma's old meat slicer, which was ace, made today's pack up with leftover beef, both bathed, we watched last weeks East is East (after we'd phoned Sky for the fooking pin number)??!!
We had a pirate copy of Dirty sanchez which would only work upstairs, so we went up to bed at 20 past 8, how bad is that?
I read till 10pm and was sparko, Don't know what time his lordship was up till, he was making meat sandwiches in the night and wriggling about in bed........the bloody fidgetter!!!

So it's Monday morning again, the weekend has passed in a flurry of well, you read it! in my defense I'm 27 weeks knocked up, am carrying more timber than i know what to do with, have only spent £3.50 all weekend, saying plenty cash for more pies and cakes.
I'd like to say once the baby is born I'll be back to my old party party self, but we all know that's not the case, this is my new persona for evermore.

A clean living, chubby checker with zero personality!
Mwahhahhaaaaaa!!!

Nothing to say

Thursday already......it's amazing how the working weeks fly..especially when you're only putting in approx 3 1/2 days a week........hee hee!

Haven't done anything to write home about (for a change), Monday, had a nice day at work, went into town at lunch, called at building society and took out the interest i'd accrued last year and went on a spree......found some sale maternity bras in Boots, reight do.......they're Sooo attractive, bought two as they were a bargain.
Bumped into Jake and Kate with baby Joe, was nice to see them, had a right good old natter....Joe was 5 1/2 weeks early! cripes. so is only the size of a 2 week old baby.
Kate went into graphic detail about the labour, c section, bladder problems etc...blah blah! stood ages talking babies, who'd have though me and JC would be in the same boat, 12 years after splitting!!??
Monday evening was home at 6pm, Andy had been home and nicked off to the Gym with John, non-descript evening of Chicken, CBB........inane waffle and laking wi cats, Andy goes to bed before me and lies there bellowing "Megus" till she goes up onto the quilt then he can torment her..the boy's unhinged!!!
So to bed the pair of us at the usual hour, moi reading, him channel surfing!
I was straight out being a lazy lump, awoke for my obligatory 2.20am wee, he was still awake tossing and turning and wanting to chat, i asked him if it was wind keeping him awake (i.e 70 miles an hour weather in back garden), him: "yeah i think that chicken chasseur sauce was too rich for me"...........struth!
He's a liar anyhew as he's had it at Whitter's.
Next he gets up to the loo cursing loudly, knocks the clock off the wall.........swears.
Then once i am fully awake, he drifts off............Meg had obviously thought of something really important to tell us at 3.15am as she was scratting at the door, so all in all i was awake mebbe 4 hours in the night...............greeeeeeeatttttt!!!


Tuesday 9th

Was like a zombie at my desk, was really faint and dizzy through lack of shut eye, felt SO unwell, unlike AP who'd nicked off to work his 10 hour shift quite chipper on only 4 hours sleep.
David said " you better get yourself off home" i was out of here as fast as my Dawn French physique could carry me and slept soundly from 2.30-4.30.......yeahhhh!!
Was up and about and all energised when sleepy worker came home, had a nice night...made him steak and chips as a treat (£5 for 2 pieces of steak.....wtf?), i had chilli later on and made a sausage casserole for Weds. after i'd washed and dried a midweek wash........... What a boring fucker!
Early to bed to watch the new series of Shameless..........yippee do!!!!
Then could i sleep? could i fuck! Laid and laid then started coughing, really coughing could hardly breath, nearly in tears..........still awake at 4am after several trips out of boudoir for cough linctuses, halls mentholyptus, glasses of water, wees.......bag of shite!!!!!
Andy was off at 6.30am, couldn't even remember comforting me in the night and had slept soundly, i got up, fed cats, txt Leigh and went back to sleep till 11.00am.....no intention of venturing to work.

Had a nice day, vacced downstairs, AP phoned at 1pm, then as i was looking like a scruff bag in old joggers, went up t'Asda at the top of M606 (where noone would know me)........after i'd sneaked to Metcalfe's for pies.........yummy!
So did an intermittent shop, Benylin top of the list.......another 34 squid later..(he likes his meat!!!!) home to unpack shopping, pork pie and fruit salad, leisurely bathe with Xmas bath foam, then started book.........read 1/2 of it before lights out!!!
Another normal evening, feels like he's lived there forever!!! we like :o)

I made tea while he was at the Gym, i also had a 28 minute chat with RMS, Mother phoned too, not to see how i was, to ask me to tape Vicar of Dibley as hers was recording Bill.
Nights don't last long enough, as soon as tea is over it's seems to be bedtime, mind you Andy does go up at 9.30pm coz of Sky multiroom.
Joined him at 10pm, Desperate Housewives....my favorite, he was in the land of nod at 11pm, i read till midnight............then we both slept till morning! Praise the lord.

Back to it today, Ruth has emailed piccies of the house they have bid on and it's been accepted, she's v.excited.........it looks lovely.
I'm holding fort today as all staff at the Harrogate show, David has attacked my desk with a big hammer and taken some chunks out...........grrr!
They're looking for a Wej bird to replace me in 7 weeks (one with big jugs) how long she'll last is anyone's guess.
Andy just phoned, he's working all weekend again............Noooooo!, he's off for a run tonight and can i get him 3 new navy polo shirts for work! what wild lives we lead????!
So that's my lot, no news, no plans.........all nowtness! dull, dull, dull....( apart from tiny, ickle baby growing inside me which is the most exciting thing that has ever happened in both our lives).........brushing that aside!
Can't even think of anything i want to do, Andy suggested we go out on Sunday for some lunch, i thought "what a waste of money it'll taste nicer if i make it".........i am a fully fledged pyjama girl who wants to stay indoors in the warm at all times.
Can't wait to leave work..........now there's a happy thought!!!!

Freaky Friday

Someone has secretly swapped lives with me, wait while i get my sticky mits on the culprit.

I've no idea who it is, only clue is she must have been a boring feck in her mid 40's and her favorite hobby was washing!!

Whoever it is who's now leading my life, has been out this weekend chain-smoking and drinking and having a blast, being really popular and funny and stuff! grrrr!

The weekend i have led............hang onto your seats folks.


Friday 5th
Bought a Radley purse in my lunch hour from Debenhams, which i swapped with old purse immediately so Andy couldn't say "what have you bought now" when i arrived home at t.time, i do spend at least £100 a week in my lunch hours which is slightly barmy, but i never go out anymore or buy fags.......most of it's on baby things or essentials from Morrison's...............well okay ...cake mainly.
Andy phoned me 4 times in the afternoon to ask important things like can he let Maisie out, he makes me laugh, i asked him to get his pine storage box from his old bedroom, then we could use it as a blanket box and wang the tin trunk, he phoned to say he'd taken the one from his parents bedroom as it was in better nick...........eek!
Anyhew home at 5.30pm, i was a tired bunny and insisted we did our "Friday big shop" straight away before i sat down, one hour later (due to AP chatting to his cousin, Aaron's Mum and other random's), we were home laden down with more meat than would feed 50 Vikings at an elaborate banquet.
He likes his meat..
He unpacked and sided, i bathed and put on p.j's, we had soup, French sticks, kettle chips and M&S Belgium chocolate biscuits (which i have realised he takes off me when I've had 8 and puts the tin away).
With it being Friday night and we need to make the most of our baby free days, we erm......read the Spenborough Guardian (ooh Rabbit, has got engaged to that barmaid our Steven shagged in Marlo's back garden), watched CBB, Andy went to bed at 9.30pm to watch t.v and i joined him at 10pm with my Woman's own...........how tragic? in his defence he'd overtime Saturday morning at 6.30am, my excuse....I'm a lazy fat fucker, with chaffing thighs and a pot belly any darts thrower would envy.

Saturday 6th

He was off early doors, i got up, nipped to loo, fed cats and turned all lights OFF.
Next time i looked at the clock it was 10.10am......reight do, no swimming as still streaming with cold!!! spent my entire Saturday washing and changing bed clothes, tumble drying works oily togs, Gym stuff, bedding, towels, the list was endless, also sorted new blanket box, emptied baby trunk and found new homes for all things child like hoisted over the years.
Dropped Andy at rugby at lunchtime, called to see Mother had a nice natter until Dad came in kitchen spouting shite and sounding like father Jack, left hastily, home quick sarnie, fetched Andy (they'd won...........5-0 against Selby) he'd brought me his filthy rugby kit home to wash..........yeah??!!!, watched You've been framed, then we went to the Showcase and saw "White Noise - the light" ...very good, we took our own sweets and water as it's 25p a bottle in Tesco's and £1.85 if you buy it there, the rip off merchants.
Home around 10ish, no Parkinson........lawks a mercy!
We went to bed at the same time, with reading matter and the sky remote respectively, even though i'd slept 4 hours longer than him the night before........lazy pregnant person.
Watched the box and chatted till 11.40pm, then straight to sleep like Dick and Liddy.

Sunday 7th

Awoke at 10.10am, John was picking him up at 10.30 to go watch Deano play footie, should have seen his face when he realised he'd only 20 mins to get his Sunday morning nookie in (it was like shagging Clark Kent).
I was shuffling around in dressing gown with beans spilt down the front (not really), when he got back at lunchtime (a certain persons fooking mutt had jumped all over him, caking his coat and jeans in mud...........for ME to wash).....deep breaths!!!, bacon and sausage butties and mugs of tea, footie on the box......put the joint in, made a chicken chasseur for tonight's tea and prepared 2 days veg and today's pack ups, Andy came in kitchen with his special key and unchained me from the kitchen sink so i could go upstairs and have a bath.

Had roast beef and Yorkshires at half 5ish, then spent the rest of the evening in a happy contented glow..watched "the pursuit of happyness" on pirate DVD.....(v.good, i cried and blamed it on my cold that was making my eyes water.....obviously). More footie, darts and other man sports on the tele (i was reading up on being 26 weeks pregnant and wondering if 76 babygros is enough for our new baby). Bed at 9pm (yes you heard me) for him (i stayed up till the 10), then up the stairs, where we chatted for 1/2 hour, then he sat bolt upright and announced he was off to make a meat sandwich and did i want one?.............i'll pass thanks).

Both sound asleep by midnight.

So that's my lot.
Hours spent in bed...36
Units of alcohol...0
Cigarettes smoked...0
Pounds spent... £26 (1/2 of shopping bill and pop at the flicks).
Wash loads...5
Times ventured out of the door...5
Txt or calls from friends and family...0
Hours dressed...6

Is this my life from here on in?
Tee hee.

A Woman's work is never done

Feeling v.tired and shabby today, want my bed.

I can do housewife or i can do pen pusher/work shirker............but not both.

Haven't done anything of note this week.

Work's been heaven as David hasn't arrived back from Barbados..he's due in any moment though........boo!
Saying work's been heaven, what i really meant is getting the internet back after a 10 day break, also being nearer to the shops is bliss (healthy hobbies, shopping and surfing'net), plus routine is good, a proper bedtime after a full days work that's made you tired, keeps you in order.

Funny Andy being at home all the time......we like!
Still getting into a routine, trying to grasp that the food bill is now howge......washing can not be kept for just the weekend and the fact that i wear combats and jumpers does not mean the ironing pile is non existent.

Also is it all boys who think that wet towels belong on the floor, when you've opened a new toothpaste it's ok to leave the empty box in the bathroom cabinet, it's fine to put all the lights on at 6.30am and have a full conversation with the cat instead of getting dressed in the spare room, guffawing loudly to "one foot in the grave" at going up to midnight ,while your girlfriend is 6 months pregnant and trying to get to sleep at the side of you, is also acceptable behaviour!!!!

Still, i wouldn't swap him.

But i need to be at home if i am to maintain my bright eyed and bushy tailed persona while being heavily with child, plus a domestic goddess.
Tic tic tic, not long now until i leave this funny farm i call my place of work, hand the car back and lose my pay-packet along with my identity and Independence.

Anyhew.........Like i said no news this week, am struggling for what to make for tea every night. So far have rustled up steak filled Yorkshire with veg, Cheese and bacon burgers with chips and tonight it's fish.
Any suggestions would be welcome, quick dishes containing only plain food, that can be made in under 20 minutes....but look and taste like something Nigella has prepared obviously.
I'm even more tired now, always more sleepy after lunch, probably eating too much, to maintain my Porky pig look.
But i am deffo not doing anything tonight, i'll make tea, Andy washes up and takes bin to mainroad....but that's my lot, i overdid it last night.

Was still streaming with cold, (that's a week I've had the sniffles now), so Leigh asked if i wanted to go home, i wasn't waiting for him to ask twice off i went...............laden down with Mothercare and Asda bags with my buys from lunch (another £50 on unborn child), made it home for 3pm.

By 8pm i got to sit down........my back was fooking crippled, i don't even know where the 5 hours had gone.....well i do, making tea and preparing the next days pack up, ironing a certain persons 10 designer polo shirts and jeans and shorts, then washing their work togs and trying not to scream when he returned from JJB brandishing sweaty Gym kit, this is all after i'd ironed and hung the new nursery curtains, bathed me and sorted the felines, washed and dried BHS quilt cover and the works towels....i need to cut myself a bit of slack, but i've always been a bit Bree Van de camp.

I'd even brought the blanket down to have a nap on the sofa which Meg had utilised......pah! Fat chance........

Bed for 9.30pm, with the intention of watching 1 episode of DHW's, ended up watching both then chatting, i need more than 6 hours sleep, i think he secretly does too and the novelty will wear off, then baby comes along and 6 hrs kip will seem like an eternity.

Can't win, but i'm so going to lie-in at the weekend :o)
No plans at all for this Friday, Saturday or Sunday....funny how no one can be arsed to do owt after Xmas is over, everyone's either detoxing, shattered or skint.

Fine by me, bring on the heating turned up full, clean p.j's and bedclothes, chick flick on DVD and a box of Belgium chocs.

Happy as a pig in $hit!!!! i will be.

What a freak

Happy New Year one and all!

Well the first thing I have to say of course is Happy New Year and the second is that blogging has changed. This may mean that I am able to blog a bit more this year but we'll see.

Hope you all has a nice NY and a good Christmas. A summary of my festive period will appear later this week.

It's 2007

Just to check my memory isn't completely shot...just yet! with the pregnancy hormones, here are the last 12 days of my Christmas.

Thursday 21st Dec

The buffet/tea party with the in-laws went very well indeed, Gill was more than pleased with the home her little boy is now living in and was over the moon with nursery for her 1st Grandchild, we all ate plenty, the salads and chilli went down a little better than cold meats and stand pie, it was a mega chilled out atmosphere, leading me to believe that when the 6 of us have been together in a pub environment, or at G&D's or John and Claire's it's moi who is on pins, but am mucho relaxed playing the hostess...........ooh I'm a funny bugger.
Let the cats out of bedroom after we'd eaten and Ma P tried not to be too horrified when they wreaked havoc and Andy and i treat them like children.........hahhhaaaa!
They all departed at 10.30pm, we washed up and fell into bed Morecombe and Wise stylee and slumber well before the 12.


Friday 22nd Dec

Was SOOO glad i went to work, the warehouse lads were clearing out the empty offices next door and came across a brand spanking new silver cross pram in it's box ............it was in my car boot in 5 seconds flat.....reight do! i'm going to miss this job!

Being preggers, i was allowed to go at 12 instead of 1pm, nipped into Marlo's...stayed an hour drinking coffee....gave her Grandma's present to deliver, then home to disco kip, Andy was up late & had left the bedroom untidy, i'd just restored whole house to it's usual tidy splendour, when he came home and insisted on showing me all his Christmas buys for his family, we had a bit of mid afternoon nookie, then i wanted to sleep for 2 hours........unfortunately i needed to wee (as i do every hour) but one of Alan's cronies was painting the outside of the house, he was at the bathroom window....being with child i couldn't wait and had to go in the washing up bowl in the kitchen.....guffaw!!!
Up at t.time, called for RMS, delivered his pressie and chatted to his lovely parents, he was asleep and had forgotten i was collecting him, but all was forgiven, we headed for the comi where we plonked for 5 hours in the snug for R Woz's 30th..........Jesus Mary mother o' god it wa loud, nice to see Sarah though (she hasn't changed), Ruth, Rach, Spug and Dean showed up late on......Sis rather squiffy as she'd been drinking all day.......so mad Friday.. was just that.
The wags made more noise than the whole pub put together, shrieking like I've never heard, me and Andy dropped Matt and Sarah at their parents homes at midnight and headed home ourselves, leaving our smoke damaged clothes in the garden (not really).

Saturday 23rd Dec

Up early doors for swimming, left Andy moving his stuff in...spent the rest of the day peacefully vegging in front of t.v, wrapped all his folk's presents......then do you know, i can't remember what the hell we did next...i presume, eating, reading and a lot of t.v watching were involved.

Sunday 24th Dec

Awake just before dinner, both bathed & got ready to eat our Sunday lunch at the Porray's cooked by Gill........it was very nice indeed, the 6 of us sat around till 4ish chatting and watching t.v.
Dropped Andy at spoons to meet Deano and his brother at 5pm, i collected Katy at 7.30pm and we met RMS, Sarah and MJW in the Obadiah for Xmas eve beverages, 2 in Spoons, 2 in the Commercial where we bumped into Andy, the cricket lot and all the wags, the rest of the evening was very pleasant, plonked in the Old house at home which was very quiet and we hogged the karaoke, everyone bar me were quite pished, i took Sar and MJ home after 12 (o'clock, not pints)....it was a really good night and my 1st sober Christmas eve in 21 years.......cripes.

Monday 25th Dec

Xmas day, i was up and about at 9.30am, bathing, letting cats out and feeding them, Andy was up at 10.55am, we'd to be at his Mum's for 11am.......bundled him in the car...no sympathy for hangover boy..bacon butties all round at the in-laws, we all swapped presents, i did v.well.....Radley handbag and a pony from G&D,Tigi bedhead stuff from Claire and John, sweets & a tenner from Grandad and countless Next homey things from his Aunties...ace! Dropped C&J and Claire's parents in Gummy, then me and AP swapped pressies at home and watched a bit of t.v, again i did well, Channel perfume, dressing gown, p.'js, slippers, socks and chocs.
Got a wriggle on and up to Marlo's had a lovely day, Martyn, Steven, Ruth and Mark all present....exchanged gifts and had Xmas dinner in 2 sittings....more presents including random ones from Mother.. New triv, novel, album, molton brown bubble baths, book, money, more perfume, chocs, storage boxes??! and i can't for the life of me remember what else i got from Mum but it was v.random.
Steven took great delight i taking the piss out of my frock all day, we watched Monsters ink them off we toddled home for sofa napping, Mum and Dad came up at 8pm for a spot of supper and Vicar of Dibley, then left at 10.45pm.........so a lovely Christmas day was had by all, without booze or any fisty cuffs for that matter.

Tuesday 26th Dec

Boxing day, we slept for England, Andy missed the rugby...oops!, after breakfast i dropped him at the club while i changed bedding and did 3 wash loads before i joined him at 4ish, it was very busy and full of boozy folk, we stayed till 7.30pm, chatting to Spug and KF, Andy having had 7 or so pints..........nipped in home, got Megan's present and some beers....then to Ruth's for a buffet and party games, very nice time....Steven was in his element with the ready made audience, Andy started on a bottle of Stella.......took the top off, promptly left it and asked for water.
Hardened drinker or what? unlike my father and Brother who were slowly getting merry on Boddingtons, strong lager, red vino and magners...tut tut!
After party games, we departed home for jimmies.....about the same time as the Denham's and House's arrived.
Bed lateish after too much buffet fodder and cake........happy in the knowledge that there were 6 holiday days left.

Wednesday 27th Dec

Off i toddled mid morning, swapped Andy's pressie from Mum at JJB and got him an Adidas polo shirt, resisted going into Birstall retail park...........queuing? pah! had a quick Mccy dee's, then collected Mother to go nursery curtain shopping, what a rubbish day, trailed round Skopos mills, Dewsbury, anyhew the upshot was, i came home empty handed and despondent and mum had bags of purchases including lots of new things for her doll's house.........don't ask!Collected Ap from the sofa and dragged him round tesco's for the weekly shop, £78 later (how much are razor blades?) Home again, Andy and his Dad had moved his drawers and wardrobe in, so i rearranged it all.......so you could actually move in there and i could get to my beloved clothes airer......more washing, jogging, t.v, noshing..........blah blah.
Cats like Andy more than me now as he plays with them...........grrr!
Fell into a happy but late slumber.

Thursday 28th Dec

Up 11ish, didn't bother showering as we were in a rush..........we were off to the seaside! no time for breakfast there was no stopping us, by 1.30pm, we were well and truly plonked in busy bees.....eating like kings......Mmmm!
Mooched about town, parked the car by Spa {flashbacks of a cold Nov evening queuing to see Beautiful South, with sea mist splashing over the harbour wall :o) } we walked all the way to the south shore and back, have realised I'm less out of breath bearing howge bump than i was back in the days i was fagging it......dear me! lovely day, felt all invigorated.......home M62 way and back not too late, bath, p.j's..soup and sandwiches and Xmas t.v....heaven!

Friday 29th Dec

We both woke with streaming cold (bloody East coast fresh air), Andy was off to the Gym to sweat his out, i laid under the duvet like a wounded animal, up at lunchtime and made him a breakfast, i had banana and cereal....then put a leg of lamb in the oven and off we headed to the sales, Crown point retail park and the White Rose..how brave?, purchased new mattress for crib, nappy wrappers and nappy bin, bath guard, steriliser and some other baby stuff.
Unpacked all shopping into nursery, made veg, roasties, Yorkshires etc, ate like locusts, followed by an evening of chilling, DVD's, books..ya di ya.

Saturday 30th Dec

I was in the mood for shopping, Andy wanted me to go watch Morley play rugby with him and Grant and Katy (it's raining are you on glue?), passed Ma's and saw her little car so nipped in, had a coffee and she tagged along, we did HMV, Mama's and Papa's, Next and DFS, she was tired so dropped her home, then i went into Leeds and also called in Batley, Tesco's and the video shop...spent £105 which wasn't bad, i could've done better.
Me and AP arrived home at the same time, he'd nipped darn club for a couple of Stella's, another blissful evening at home in pyjamas, we ordered take out as a special treat, i had an Eastern Spice (1st time this year), He had a Spring bamboo, we had to ring Ruth for the number (she has it on speed dial). Demolished fodder, then watched the worst DVD i have ever seen in my life, Live Feed (don't get it, the 1st half is soft porn, it says on the cover "Hostel with snakes", it had 1 snake in, honestly I've seen better actors in the Spen Valley gang show), bed early to read, I've gone through a dozen crap mags as Andy has needed to watch every darts match possible.

Sunday 31st Dec

New years eve, poorly snivelly cold, Andy went walking early doors, me, Meg, Maisie and Luther stayed in bed, we're not daft.
Got dressed only to take DVD back and complain, got the "break up" out for free and watched it in the afternoon, all much of a nowtness, chops for tea, got ready against my will for Hogmanay celebrations.....booo! "But it's cold, i'm pregnant, i've got the flu, there's good tele on"........it wasn't washing!
Glad i went though, met Katy and her Sister, Grant and Craig in the not so Commical, 2 in there and onto the Whickam, chatted and drank my squash all of us huddled, in the pool room, then we drove onto the Sportsclub, poor Club and organisers, very shoddy turn out, noone prepared to support them on the biggest night of the year.
Still we made the best of it, Karaoke (Andy sang with Dave T...cripes), Mick's curry was very nice, everyone in high spirits, at midnight, lots of cheering, party poppers, new year kisses (Mick tried to slip tongue in............not ideal), i had a little bottle of white wine and even danced to some cheesy tunes with one v.pished boyfriend, one mullered Katy, & Blacky and Waitey also showing us thier dance moves.
Home for 1am, streaming with cold, but quite hyper, i read till 2.30am, Andy watched the end of True lies and was soon snoring like a wild boar.

Monday 1st Jan

I was fighting fit earlyish, one hundred and 1 jobs to do, left poorly boy sleeping off his Stella head, while i dismantled tree, wanged cards, sorted cats, washed, tided, we'd bought 4 pirate DVD's from a random chink in Whickam last night, so i started watching Little Children (Andy showed his face briefly, was struggling to be alive, i love him SO much, but he's such a baby), off he toddled back to bed, finished watching my film, made a roast chicken dinner and chatted to Matt on the phone, next news G&D arrive, then get this..........his Mother goes to check on him in bed...WTF? he's got the runs and he's barfed, but he's 30 next year, he's had a belly full of Stella, he's a big boy........get over it!!!
Anyhow off they went, i made him get up so i could wash the bedclothes, told him in no uncertain terms he was going to work today, he managed some soup, felt a bit better and we watched Dead Clever.........quite good,up the apples and pairs to bed at 11pm, both asleep before 12.
Not a great nights sleep, coughing, up 3 times to wee, tiptoeing around, trying to blow my nose quietly.

Tuesday 2nd Jan

Awake with Andy at 6.30am, morning chatting...wtf?
Me and cats soon dropped back off for 2 hours, once we heard him lock the door, so that's it, all holidays over, done and dusted for another year...my 1st sober festive season in 2 decades, possibly my last.
Nice day at work today, despite the cold, only me, Leigh, Paul and warehouse lads present, been to Mossy's, washed the car, blogged, had lunch and spent Andy's Xmas BHS voucher on a new quilt cover, now we're co-habitting, i'm opening his eyes to a whole new world of soft furnishings....tee hee!
No i'm liking it, it's just the same really only now i get to wash his clothes too, oh and cook for him, which i like........ i hope he's happy too, if not it's tough titty, there's no going back now........Mwaaahhhahaaaa!

I have him in my clutches!!!

Happy new year everybody.
