Im a wee bit mental today...

Thus far I haven't done much about my New Years resolutions- however it isn't really New Years yet anyway is it?! Tomorrow it shall start!

However I'm rather worried about my habits as of late......

For example I was up till Middnight knitting (I've started a tradition of knitting one scarf a year- this year is a lovely deep red....)

But then was awake early this morning and was cleaning the oven by 8.30am!

And now I'm baking biscuits- although thats not necessarily abnormal as most people will tell you.....

Very odd indeed!

Oh and resolutions

Further to my post: Here are my New Years resolutions:

  1. To eat more fruit and vegetables
  2. To be more ladylike and curb the old belching
  3. To drink bottles of beer instead of pints- then I won't get as drunk, as giving up alcohol is just not feasible, sadly....
  4. Also the usual bollocks- to loose some weight blah blah that just never happens.

I wonder how long this is all going to last?!

Dreams part 2

Having awoken from my afternoon nap I also had a wierd dream that I had moved into this really old crusty bedroom and whilst moving my wardrobe rack it broke, and I discovered that there was a colony of ants living in the poles. I woke up feeling like I had ants crawling over my hands. Thanks to Ian for his call on my mobile, which consequently woke me up from my impending nightmare!

Dream dream dreams

I don't know what on earth they put in my Tasty Turkish last night but boy did I have some odd dreams. Actually its the second night I've had odd dreams.

Last night I dreamt that myself, Celeste and Megan were travelling around the states for a reality TV show. That might have something to do with recent discussion.

However Im sure my meal last night somehow spurned these doozeys:

1. I was going out with the fabulous Zac Braff from the fabulous programme scrubs

2. I was back working at my old lizard job in Essex and came across a dog that had been mutated by some chemicals used on the site and this mutated dog looked like a hairy worm of sorts. Very wierd!

Divuka is a fat bastard

I went to my third Premiership game last night- Middlesbrough vs Fulham.


Im sorry to say that Boro sucked. Useless defending etc. However it was a good game, and the highlight was the announcer calling Mark Divuka scored. Hehehehe. And then the whole throng of Fulham supporters calling him a fat bastard! So funny!


Heres a typical football pic- cest being like 'Carly lets have a photo!' and Me going 'nah I'm watching the football baby'!


Christmas business....

Busy busy busy!

Firstly, on a sad note, I missed out on my work Xmas do because I was still sick..... very annoyed.

Did the 12 pubs of Christmas (only 6 of which I actually remember). Ill post some pics soon.

This is really just a fillerinner post until I can be arsed writing something meaningful!

Life swap

Looks like my deadly germs have been transferred via the internet! mwahahahahahahaha!

Sorry Jo for some reason I couldn't post on your blog!

Its so funny that Jo and I lead opposite lives (not sure if thats the best way of putting it??) I want to have a nice warm lovely Christmas in NZ and think Jo is mad wanting to come back to England for a cold dark winter and she thinks vice versa!

If any Tv executives out there in internet-land want an idea for a reality TV show how about doing an overseas life swap with myself and Jo starring. I don't think I'm at all equipped to deal with a husband and 3 kids in my singledomness, but it would be quite hilarious! Come on it would be way better than the Simple Life or whatever that rubbish was called with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie?

From my sick bed part 2

Still off bloody work (mind you at the insistence of my housemates, quite rightly so) even though I was planning to go today. So bored, but thankfully Michelle has stocked me up on magazines and dvds. Ah bless. I missed the fecking rugby yesterday too : (

Anyway I have a couple of questions to pose to ya'll

1. Why are Mens pyjamas always cheaper than womens ones?

2. Would you buy condoms from the £1 shop (or the $1 shop) coz you certainly can at the Ealing Broadway store!

Just more random shite from my sick bed..................

Just one other thing!

NZ football supporters- Does Chris Killen get much of a mention?? I notice he's the second highest goal scorer in the Scottish Premier League for Hibernian!

From my sick bed.....

This is the first sick day I've had off work in a whole year! Apart from when I had to take a day off to move.... everything seems to be taking me twice as long coz all my muscles are achy. And British day time telly is shite. Wheres Bold and the Beautiful and Days of Our Lives when you need em?! At least Xfm is playing some rather good music today.

I think I'm just a bit bored I HATE BEING SICK!! Nevermind I have to go to work tomorrow coz I'm going to Twickenham with school tomorrow for the Varsity game. Apparently former Wallaby Joe Roff is studying in Cambridge and will be playing.

How typical- I've woken up early this morning, not only with a hangover but also a cold : (

Not happy about that, especially as its my work Xmas do on Thursday (and if last year is anything to go by I need a install a bucket in my room and hide my slippers and camera charger.... hmmmmmm) and then my Xmas dinner with my housemates on Saturday. I hate Xmas and Im sooooooooo broke!
