waaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!




Its the end of the world...



I can't cope without Doctor David dammit!!!!!

I'm off to put my head in the oven...

How old??



My little boy is 7 (yes I said SEVEN).

Where the hell did that go?

a few moments ago I was bringing him home from the hospital and now he's a monster sized 7 yr old with an attitude!!! I gave birth to a skater boi!

Did you know I am "Mummy-man" now and Rich is also more commonly known these days as "Dad-dude"?

7 years gone in a flash and if the next 7 go as quick I'll have a strapping 14 yr old on my hands by tea-time!!! Thats a scary thought....

Anyway, I know one day you'll read this so... I love you, even if you call me "man" and "duh" and I hope your 7th birthday was everything you wanted it to be... I know you haven't put the DS down since 7am yesterday morning so at least I got the present right!! nub loo. xx

Sssssshhhhhhhhhh though, don't tell Rich, I'll never live it down if I balls it!!!

The case of the missing tv remote

The tv remote is missing again :(

I hate it when the tv remote is missing. It's annoying.

First of all Rich has the digital hooked up to the tv through the video and the dvd player and his stereo and various other electric appliances and maybe his left nut for all I know and I'm sure he does it this way to confuse me for shits n giggles. He says its because we don't have enough scart sockets but I have no idea what that means so it could be true or it could be total bollocks and either way I would have nooooooo idea...

so anyway when I turn on the tv I then have to find the actual television remote control to put it on the 'av channel' before the digital will work, otherwise I just get that fuzzy snow stuff that is really boring to watch...then I have to find the digital remote to start changing the channels...and of course then the phone rings and so I have to go back to looking for the original tv remote to turn it down because Virgin Media are the devil and purposely made shit remote controls that don't turn down Toshiba tv's just to piss me off...

So..turning the tv on is traumatic, especially when you consider that we then have a video remote and a dvd remote as well as the remote for the ipod docking-thingy and I struggle to find any of them!!!

I have had a bit of a revelation lately though, it seems that the tv remotes only go missing on the days that Richard is home, like today for example. This weekend has been no problem, we have a system running the children and I, they hid the tv remotes and I give them jammie dodgers to 'find' them - its a system that works well for us, the only time it fails is on Daddy's day off....

Suddenly the tv buttons are missing and no one can find them!! Angelina is most stressed about this, she loves her biscuits dammit!!! She can't cope with not being able to find the remote and so she randomly brings me other things instead... like the hair brush or a shoe and then she stands with that expectant "You're going to get me a biscuit now, aren't you?" look on her face and I have to disappoint her...for I cannot find the buttons either.

I phoned my husband at work this evening to shout at him for being unable to find them again, this has not happened since his last day off I realise and so I called to tell him. "Oi Twat" I say... "Ou est le tv buttons? yer bollock-faced get" (or similar words to that effect...) he cannot tell me, for he does not know.

Oh no... that would be far too easy!! If he were to remember where he put the tv buttons then my life would be far too simple and this is in direct conflict to rule no.1 of the husband's handbook for dummies 'Thou shalt make things as difficult as possible, as often as possible for t'wife!" in fact I'm pretty sure there's a sub section in there about losing the tv remote on purpose "thus making her throughly miserable and unable to watch EastEnders" <---- see!!!!

Anyway, I have no tv buttons and I am resigned to the fact that I will have to get up and turn over the tv ever half n hour for the rest of the evening... well until he gets home and then I can make him do it instead!!!!

That's it!

I'm done!!! I'm off to hide under the bed until 2009 before anything else goes wrong!!!

Rich's Dad was taken to hospital last night with a suspected heart attack. He had a HA about 3 years ago and made a good recovery but this week he's been having 'funny turns'. So yesterday Liz insisted on ringing an ambulance and they took him to Redhill hospital in Surrey. Chest x-rays and blood tests etc were given (all come back clear btw) and they decided to treat as a HA even though they actually suspect its more likely to be Acute Angina or that maybe his stent has moved etc.

Any way, he's home now but damn, he gave us a bit of a scare.. he's a truly lovely man and I have a huge amount of love and respect for him and his wife Liz.. apart from the fact that they both fookin hilarious they're genuinely loving people, towards each other and every one else and the thought of another loss this year just fills me with dread, I don't think I could cope with anymore.

Also add to that the tosspot that knocked over my garden wall last night and it had been a truly harrowing evening.... think I need a bottle of Vodka and some cheesecake under that bed with the dust-bunnies and me....

I would like to...

officially declare the year 2008 over and I propose we now move on to 2009 as soon as possible please, preferably Thursday the 30th October before those buggering trick or treaters arrive and comfortably after my son's 7th Birthday on the 29th for which I have already purchased the much desired red nintendo ds lite and games etc... can't be wasting money now can we??

Anyhoo, its been a really REALLY crappy year and I feel it should now be over and as there is only a few weeks of it left, I am forced to wonder...would anyone really miss it?

I have drawn up a list of pro's and cons to support my idea, hang in there with me... its not complicated.


CON.
anyone who has a birthday between October 30th and Dec 31st would obviously have to forfeit all presents. Sorry.

PRO.
Anyone who has a birthday between now and Dec 31st will officially always be one year younger than they actually are...which is great for 39 yr olds. YAY

PRO.
Halloween would be cancelled.

CON.
I see no 'CON' with the above statement, I hate trick or treaters and I hate going trick or treating. its sucks. end of.

CON.
Christmas would be cancelled.

PRO.
Christmas would be cancelled and we'd all be a lot less skint!!!!

CON.
We'd miss Bonfire Night

PRO.
Fireworks would not be onsale again until next year, thus allowing us all plenty of peaceful nights sleep, which is an instant winner for me cos I hate fireworks.


PRO.
I will not miss dark nights or dark mornings, in fact I think we should hibernate as a species anyway... much nicer and cheaper too.

CON.
Again, I see no 'CON' about the lack of darkness... it can only be a good thing!!


So you see, it is actually a rather good idea. So who's with me on this? feel free to add anymore PRO/CON's you see fit... lol

Get well soon Lou!!!

I'd just like to give a shout out to me old mate Lou 'Stun Beam' Gillard.

Lou and I have been friends for a whole load of years although we lost touch somewhere in the middle for a while, anyway we met up again this year at my Dad's funeral, Lou was kind enough to come and support us even though it had been such a long time since we last saw each other and I appreciated that so much.

She's not very well at the moment, and after an operation and a short spell of 'parole' from the hospital to home she's had to go back in due to a spot of pneumonia.

I'm making light of this cos well....thats just what I do isnt it? but in all seriousness I am worried about her and her lovely hubby Rob and kids (Emily and Xander) and so I would love for any readers I have to send her their good juju vibes and I know you all will.

It could be a while before she's fully recovered and allowed home again and that's going to be very difficult for the kids so I send them love and wish them well and hope that Rob knows if he needs any extra help that we're always available.

Love you lots Lou!!
