I shall call him Shiney and he shall be mine and he shall be my Shiney. Come on, little Shiney. [stung by jellyfish] Ow! Bad Shiney, bad Shiney!

Hello.

I am Mittz.

Today, I am mostly eating....Granola...

Haha, thought you were going to say that she rang and then hung up to make you call her back because she didn't have any credit

Right, must go and do something.

Trills

I've so far had a bowl of sugar puffs for breakfast & a bowl of bran flakes for lunch, I ate so much at the weekend that I'm trying desperately to balance it out! Spag bol for dinner & I'll do a salad with it to bulk it out a bit.

I've still not done much though, well apart from curl my hair

Glad Shiney's been in touch, even if she did call you an arse

Trills how's things moving with the house?

House is ours - references have checked out - they still haven't given us a list of what furniture we get though (listed as 'part-furnished'). Get the keys on the 18th. That's it really.

Curls are fun aren't they Norma? :)

Yay, all going smoothly then? Fab stuff, hope they tell what furniture you get soon, a pain having to wait around!

They really are, I've always had straight hair & been very of people with lush curls. My sister showed me how to curl my hair with my straightners so the last few days I've had fun playing

of people who can get their hair to hold a curl.

As a matter of interest Bella.. does DS listen to the full on Eminem or the 'clean' versions?

DS sneakily downloaded all his Dad's Eminem onto his phone. I am a big fan, especially the new album, although not all appreciate it or understand his angle. I think he is very very clever.

I like the word Arse.

Have had a wobbly 24 hrs as DC's are testing and their Dad is being a bit weird and I suspect controlling. Probably because I have been a little better. Now he is very emotional.
Someone put the phone down on me, long story but I really didn't deserve it and then a dog cr*ed on the drive.

So I went to bed. Now I need a hug.

And a cup of tea.. it is like morning all over again.
I have a gorgeous black and white coffee set of my Gran's in storage.

I dreamt I was being seduced in a very old fashioned manner

Your family and you looked gorgeous Norma.. you are so radiant and even in photos have a very positive aura xx

We are having Egg and home made chips for tea.

I might have Corn crackers and philly light as I have just eaten 500 cals worth of cake before going to bed

Miss BoF and shiney too xx to them if they lurk. I think BoF is whipping up s storm on the boards, I her attitude.

Oh and the woman who put the phone down on me said.. 'you are the girl with the curly, strawberry blonde hair'.. so I said she might not have the right person, I had died it a year ago but it was now a muddy blonde with IMO no curl. But I am wrong. I have strawberry blonde curly hair.

I am probably only 5', afro carribbean with a prosthetic leg but just didn't realise it

Mittz - he listens to the "uncut" versions and has the new album too >

Apparently my new straighteners can curl hair but I would probably make a hash of it.

Scones in the oven, bolognaise bubbling away on the hobb.

When I worked as a cook, My two failings were scones and dumplings and the residents use to say they used my scones and dumplings to sink the Bismark lol! I have scone envy..mmmmmm.. just warm, slathered in butter with black currant jam Om nom nom

bugger. Just found out Junior doesnt go back to school on Wednesday as we thought, tis next Monday. So, all the mad dashing about for school shoes, new bags etc. could have waited. I seriously need mini to go back asap though, as I she has well had enough of the holidays

Bella it's so easy to do honestly, if you type how to curl hair using a straightner you'll get loads of videos & it's just finding the one that works for you. I'm useless with curling tongs but seem to have the knack with the strightners now.

Mittz sounds like a long & trying day don't blame you for grabbing a nap don't worry about the cake, it's good for the soul once in a while.

And thank you for the compliment :) I've not put the fat photos up but sadly other people have

Mmmmm have just tried the smallest scone - you know where you don't have quite enough dough for the cutter. Was delicious.

I will google Norma, thank you.

Tell me it is normal to get cross and shouty lose one's patience a little at this stage of the holidays, because I feel glum that I am not doing so well with the DC's.

So I know what you mean Jet.. we have until a week on wednesday to go as they finished so late... And now you have done it all though... xx

It is normal Mittz

oh i get cross and shouty even when it isnt the holidays

i have palmed mine off on the parents, he is sleeping over

chicken fajitas for tea here, i have home grown peppers (from mums green house) to put in them

Vinnnnnnnnnnnnnny

Is this your second week off work or have you had both weeks? >

its my second week off

but i have to go in to work for the day on Thurs, then back off again Fri as i have hospital appointment

i could happily work one day a week forever more

i want scones, with cream and jam now mmmm

Going into work on Thurs is a bit of a pain Vinny.

I have got jam to go with the scones but no double/whipped cream only single, which the boys got to go with their choc fudge cake we we bought yesterday. I am trying to ignore the scones and the mars bars

if u were a camera where would you hide?

Vinny you sound perkier after your break from work. how are you feeling these days?

Bella - you must have the will power of a saint. i would have caved and eaten both.

im good ducky, feeling much better these days thanks

the finnster has cried off his sleep over and come home, he is sat on the couch eating an ice pop demanding a i 'get him a chocolate biscuit or he will give me a cold cold muckle sandwich'

hes going to bed early and im getting the port out

I am in too minds about whether i skate tonight. If i dont i will get a load done. But I think the real reason is that I have skated on a monday since I became part of the gossip rather then watching the fun from the side lines I am not sure i want to go back to skating monday nights.

Going to do bedtime and se how i feel. Have a good one!

Plus I really want to find my camera so that i can post the picture of my finished project!
