There’s so much going on this week, what with Rob going away, my head shave, driving lessons.... Rob has emptied his room pretty much. My dad came today and took his couple of boxes, a few bin ba...
Driving lesson. in Hello.
Had my first driving lesson today. I expected him to show me the inside of the car, take me to a quiet spot, move off, come to a stop, that kind of thing. But no, after driving around the school ...
Conversation with the boss: (Edit) in Hello.
Me: “I’m going to get all my hair cut off.” Dawn: “Really? Like, how do you mean? “Really short. Like Allison’s (colleague), but shorter.” “Wow. When?” “Some time in the next couple of weeks. It’...
The Final Countdown. in Hello.
It’s 10 days till Rob leaves home. He’s got everything he needs apart from bowls, kitchen knives and a frying pan. Everything else is sorted. Last night he came home from work with a load of bee...
Sitting here listening to Rob play a medley of guitar intros in his room. I’m sure the neighbours are loving it. So far we’ve had Enter Sandman, Stairway to Heaven, Toxicity, Killing in the Name ...
Weird Week in Hello.
It’s been a strange one, that’s for sure. I’ve got my second wig. It’s amazing. It’s exactly the same length and style my hair is now, only it’s in my natural hair colour. I am waiting for my glu...
Well, this is nice. Just John and I sat in the house. Rob is working, Bel is at my cousin’s dance class and Eleanor has gone to Laser Quest for a friend’s birthday. John is playing Skyrim, a rare...
And then the downer *Edit in Hello.
I was dead happy with myself for deciding to shave my head. I mean, it’s been something I’ve been tempted to do on numerous occasions because sometimes I’m just so fed up with my hair. Don’t get ...
Talking myself into it. edit: in Hello.
I am almost certainly going to shave my head for Macmillan. It’s a no brainer really, I’m just really scared! Pros: My hair is in terrible condition. It will be great to get it all cut off and to...
funny old days. in Hello.
Yesterday and today have been slightly out of the ordinary. Yesterday at work, my cousin, Moira, came in with her daughter, Jodie, and grand daughter, Sophie. They walked straight over to our dis...
Hoe gaan dit met jou? in Hello.
So I got my tattoo last week. It’s still scabby and ended up being bigger than first thought, so it’s not quite finished. The receptionist hadn’t booked me in for long enough so I’ve got the outl...
Better Stuff in Hello.
Got the day off work to go get my tattoo in less than three weeks. That sneaked up on me! I want this tattoo to be one of a pair on my calves, but haven’t found one suitable for my other calf yet...
This week.... in Hello.
Dealing with Craig and his funeral. There’s been tears and laughter and boobs. Craig was well known for his topless selfies, the group have been honouring his memory (with his sister’s blessing) ...
Lindsey, the lady I spoke about in my previous entry, is in hospital after taking a massive overdose. I’ve asked her daughter to keep me in the loop. I’ve had a couple of texts from Lindsey, assu...
For the love of Foo in Hello.
I’m well aware I haven’t properly updated for a while. My PC is being a dick and it’s a pain typing a whole entry on my Kindle. Last time I wrote, I was about to go and see Foo Fighters. I have t...
Exciting times! in Hello.
So in less than 48 hours, I’ll be in Manchester waiting for the Foo Fighters to come on! I’m so excited! I was going to travel down on the coach on my own and meet up with some fellow Foo Fans fr...
Good times in Hello.
My Foo Fighter ticket arrived day before yesterday! I was starting to panic because it was only three weeks to the concert, so I’ve been on cloud nine ever since. The plan has always been to go a...
I’ve just had a tuna steak for my lunch. I wanted to like it because that shit is expensive and I thought it was special or something. It’s not. Tastes exactly the same as the tinned stuff. But I...
I've been busy! ETA in Hello.
These past few weeks have been hectic! Shellie has been here at Easter, I met up with a school friend I haven’t seen for 20 odd years, we’ve been to Keswick, Carlisle, I’ve been out with another ...
Survey, because I have nothing else to write. in Hello.
DO YOU LIVE IN A HOUSE OR AN APARTMENT? I live in a first floor flat, have lived here for 3.5 years. WOULD YOU SAY IT IS BIG OR SMALL? It’s about average. 3 bedrooms, garage, no outside space. ...
It’s Sunday and the sun is shining. Eleanor and I are watching cartoons, Bel has gone to visit her cousin’s family and the boys are still in bed. My dad is doing his annual 32 mile sponsored wal...
Scribblings in Hello.
Have you ever noticed how people will constantly judge you, whether you’ve spoken to them or not? I like people watching, it can be interesting. But I’ve done experiments. We all have days when w...
Scribbles. in Hello.
I’m useless at updating here. I’m working most days, that’s going great. I’ve gained enough confidence there to make sure I’m always kept in the loop. Now I get the gossip, the bitchiness, the ni...
Harum scarum in Hello.
Before I start, I know we have some mutual friends, but those of you who don’t know my sister probably won’t know that she got engaged on Valentine’s day, then got offered a new job on the Monday...
My stomach is still giving me grief. It’s cramping every time I am hungry, then cramping in gratitude when I eat. I started taking Buscopan on Angie’s advice, which helps a little bit. But my hea...
