Back to reality. Sucks!

Well, I've spent a lovely week back at the family homestead. I have reached the ripe old age of 22, but more importantly, my Dad has hit 50. He was quite cool about this until my great aunt pointed out;

"Just think, you've lived more years now than you've got left!"

I love my family but I've seen sledgehammers with more subtlety.

Being home for some reason brought out an insatiable urge to shop. Resulting in buying so much stuff that I pretty much had to sit on my case to get it to shut yesterday.

The Zombie Computer now knows that its days are numbered. It died about 2 years ago and my Dad managed to resurrect it through what can only be described as luck and probably voodoo, it has never been the same since. It sits in the corner of my room and only promises of human brains can persuade it to open more than one program at a time. Hence, it is the Zombie Computer.

Since being told that it is to be replaced, it has refused to allow me access to the internet. Time to drive a stake through its CPU and bury it a crossroads. Oh wait, that's vampire computers.

I returned to work today to find that not only did I not have a keyboard but that I had 167 emails to slog through. Most of them wanting stuff urgently. Tough. I was on holiday.

Bollocks!

My time management skills are amazing.

Catching train straight after work tomorrow. Spent all of tonight in the pub. Now have to cook my tea and pack my case whilst half cut.

Not to mention get to work on time tomorrow.

Fuckity fuck fuck!!!

How much do I love the Dutch accent?

Loads! No matter how chaotic things our for our Dutch colleagues at work, they always sound so chilled and happy on the phone. Plus that accent is great!

Countdown to my return to Wales! It'll be Fan-TAAAAAAS-tic, plus the rugby is on Saturday. Should be a great match, all together now....

"Sos ban fach..."

May have a few birthday bash related posts, but then who knows!

This is what happens when I'm bored and Boots has a good selection of hair dyes. Family is going to freak when they see it!! 

Time flies, not just when you are having fun!

So, I've been down here for almost 6 MONTHS! Which is most frightening and I appear to be doing the hamster wheel thing at the moment. There is a whole lot of energy expenditure going on, but not a whole lot of forward movement.

I'm going home this weekend, as my Dad is turning 50 and a few days later I'll be 'celebrating' being 22. But I've yet to book my train, or do anything remotely practical about getting home.

I've also get tons of forms to fill in and grown up finance stuff to do, but once again I haven't touched it.

Need to roll my sleeves up and get stuck in, but I'm sooooo tired......

How not to be elegant #4

A double whammy of inelegant klutziness this time folks!

Starting with me uncanny ability to fall UP stairs. Yes, hurrying out of a tube station this weekend, I slipped and fell flat on my face up the steps. Unfortunately, this is London so you have to recover quickly before people just start to walk on you.

After reaching my destination, The Bead Shop, I noticed a box containing exactly what I wanted. I leaned in to see how much the contents was, and simply by being in my orbit, the box slipped through the rack it was resting on, hit the floor with a loud bang and sent beads flying in all directions.

I turned a shade of red never seen before on a human being.

I am so poised.

My inner rock chick

You Are Gwen Stefani! All guys dream about youAnd all the girls want to be you "Sappy pathetic little me That was the girl I used to be" Who's Your Inner Rock Chick? Take This Quiz :-) Though I don't believe I've ever been sappy and pathetic. Crazy and clumsy are probably better descriptions. Hope to have some new jewellery up on eBay soon! Watch this space!!

Things which are not a good idea

1. Pulling jammed paper out of the photocopier whilst wearing a white shirt and brown trousers. You WILL get toner all over you and have to go home in sub zero temperatures to change, as you have an important meeting that afternoon. Also, as you have yet to do the washing, you will have to change into a flimsy skirt and 12 denier tights. Buggeration!

2. Screaming 'I'm too young to die!' as your taxi driver nearly hits another driver on Park Lane. This may be an expected response but will undoubtedly drive the price of your ride up.

3. Drink a large glass of strong wine on an empty stomach after a long day at work, then go food shopping! The CRAP I have just bought!

Oh well, here's to the weekend!

You are so beautiful to me.....

I see you all the time. As past your shop on my home from the gym or a quick glimpse on a busy Saturday afternoon.

Whenever I see you I smile and think wistfully about what it would be like if we were together. Walking down the street and turning heads.

The others gathered around in the window you pale in comparison. I think I might be falling in love....

Oh beautiful Tommy Hillfiger wedge sandals, will you ever be mine?
