Mindless Self Indulgence - Ultra Sex |
] |
Hmmm I dunno I go for weeks without posting anything, then a gazillion posts in one day!
Any way I started to attempt reading my friends page but it scared me. Too many entries. So I went and deleted a whole load. It's mostly communities to be honest, and usernames I don't recognise.
If I've unfriended you... it's for one of these reasons:
1. I don't know who you are from your username.
2. I do know who you are, but I don't think we have anything in common or I just haven't heard from you in a while or something
3. It was an accident caused by my extreme lack of sleepingness.
If you're bothered by being unfriended by me, or you think it might have been a mistake, yell at me and I'll re-friend you.
Probably!

| Visio? |
[21 Aug 2006|12:43pm] |
Hey kids, I have a Very Important Plea for Help...
Is anyone familiar with Visio? Can anyone link me to a site with a good tutorial on it? I mean complete basics, I've never really used it before and now I have to write procedures with it.
PS ha they gave me net access at work. Except I can't view my friends page in case of swears. And I can't view much else cos of good old web washer. Still, some is better than none!
Please help with the Visio thing if you can, I'm stucked and I probably can't get on a training course through work for a good couple of months.

Johnny Cash - I Walk The Line |

I changed my user info page.
I decided it was a bit too gratuitous, with a whole buncha pics of my ugly mug on it. So now there's only one. I think I look rather spiffing in it tho.
If anyone has any ideas for other random shit I can put on it, feel free to suggest away.
Oh god I'm so bored. Why don't I just go to BED?!?!?!?!?

Audioslave - Out of Exile |
] |
I did Body Pump yesterday, they've just launched "Body Pump 58" which means all the routines have changed.
In a noral class you do squats, chest and back, then pick from another muscle group (lunges, triceps, biceps) because there isn't enough time in a 45-minute class, and then finish with abs.
Yesterday we did lunges. I hate lunges at the best of times, but the new lunges track is just mental. And it fucking hurt. Within about 10 seconds my legs were shaking.
Needless to say, I ache like a bitch this morning. My legs are killing.
The new abs track is a bit scary too, so my belly is hurting too.
Still, "no pain no gain" and all of that, I'm off to the gym again this lunch time. My boss goes to the gym every lunch time - classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and weights with one of the other managers on Tuesday and Thursday. I do the classes but not the weights. But the other manager is on holiday this week so I said I'd go with her to keep her company.
I've a feeling this may hurt a bit... or more than a bit. I think we're doing triceps and biceps today. Ouchies.
PS everyone who has Gmail should check out the personalised Google page. I know it's been round for ages, but they've added a bunch more to it and now you can send free sms and have a daily horoscope and sudoku and shit. Rock and indeed on.

Stone Sour - Bother |

I've not been posting very much recently because I am rubbish. Sorry. I don't know where the time goes, but it seems to be flying these days.
I'm really happy at the moment, ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) nita_01nita commented yesterday that she's never known me to be this gushy over someone. Sorry Fran! I'll try and spare you all the vomit-inducing spaff that's making up about 90% of everything I say and/or write these days. Suffice it to say, life is still sweet and I'm spending all my time having fun and being happy.
It's probably quite telling that I stop updating this thing when things are going well, and then go into post overload when things are poo.
Any way, yeah. Life is sweet, I'm all loved up and gushy and mushy. And it's really effing hot out isn't it. Am off to get a cold shower before going out me thinks.

Manic Street Preachers - Faster |
] |
Thank you so much to everyone who sponsored me, I did Race for Life today. At 2.30pm, in what can only be described as blistering heat. The course was pretty horrible, and there was very little shade.
my time was 40 minutes, 6 seconds. I am immensely proud of this, as I beat my managers mum's time of 47 minutes, and I was less than 8 minutes behind my little sis, the cross country champion.
Here's hoping the weather's a little less hot next year!!!

| VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!! |
[25 Jun 2006|02:45pm] |
I am no longer collecting milk bottle tops.
The hospice I was collecting them for has decided for various reasons to stop recycling them.
Please don't send me any more milk bottle tops!
Thank you to everyone who has sent bottle tops until now, it's much appreciated. I am planning on going to Naomi House some time this week to drop off the 4 black bags I have at my flat!
If anyone knows of anywhere else that collects bottle tops please feel free to let me know!
Thanks.

Peeping Tom - Sucker |
] |
I took my wool out last night.
( I feel nekkid! )
Last night I hated it, but I put some coconut oil in it over night, and put some random products in it this morning, and actually I quite like it now! I bought some dye last night but I wanted to give my scalp time to recover so I've not used it yet. At the moment I have fairly long roots, but i think the reddish colour actually goes well with my tan.
New wool at the weekend I think. Meanwhile there will be swimming while I can!
In other news, my Peeping Tom album finally arrived in the post yesterday and I am loving it! Since I broke my TV at the weekend, I spent all last night listening to it. Mmmm We ♥ Mike Patton and his mentalness.

Peeping Tom - How U Feeling? |
] |
The only bad thing about my weekend was that the heat seems to have caused a lot of the elastic bands holding the wool in my hair, to snap and fall out.
My hair has therefore been tied up since Saturday morning, and I am scared to untie it, in case all the wool falls out.
Tomorrow evening will be spent (depending on how I feel) either replacing elastic bands, or just removing all the wool.
I was planning on removing all the wool next weekend any way, and then roping music_isnt_dead into helping me put some more in. Maybe I should take it out now, and give my head a few days to breathe - avoid my hair getting into the sort of state it was in before!
Problem is, last time my hair was cut was January, when I went at it with the clippers. Any removal of wool could lead to a bad hair day of disastrous proportions.
Ideas, anyone?!
Just so that this isn't a text-only post, and because I'm in the process of uploading photos from the weekend:
me looking special in the restaurant on Friday night.
Expect many, many more of these - Ben had hold of the camera for most of the weekend, and the result was about 150 pictures!

Fantomas - Simply Beautiful |

This Post secret warms my heart.
I had a truly magnificent birthday, and even though my shoulders are sun burnt and I'm knackered, I'm smiling from ear to ear. Life is getting sweeter by the minute.
There will be photos once I've edited them...

| hands up who's a bit tipsy then... |
[02 Jun 2006|09:42am] |
Well Ben woke me up at 5.30 this morning with lots of hugs and kisses... then we realised it was only 5.30, so we went back to sleep until 6.30, when I was awoken with even more hugs and kisses! Ben gave me loads of presents, blew up balloons and let of a big glitter streamer in the bed as well, then gave me champagne for breakfast!
He gave me: a Spongebob rug, a Spongebob lunch box tin, a cuddly Spongebob that talks when you hit it, some Hugo Purple perfume, a pink and blue bag (matches my hair!), a bright blue underwear set, some Baileys truffles, and some Belgian chocolates. He also fixed my shower when it wouldn't work and I was stressing, and then tidied the flat while I was getting ready for work! *swoon!* I really didn't know what to say, I'm completely overwhelmed by the whole thing. I feel truly spoiled!
My brother and his family gave me some JJB vouchers, and my sister gave me some Clinique facial toner - the bottle she bought me for Christmas in 2004 had just run out so she replaced it! I came to work and my team gave me a big play do set (complete with cutters!) and a pretty black and purple spangly top.
Am off out for curry tonight, then getting up early tomorrow to go camping. Sarah has also managed to persuade our friend Jacqui to come out - she's skint so wasn't coming, but Sarah is lending her the money so she can come to the meal.
I came to work tipsy, gave out sweets and cake, and sat down and grinned. I'm having a really great birthday, everyone is being really lovely - life is sweet!
PS if anyone is going to Download this year, Ben has just been told he's doing the Guitar Hero showdown thingie - he'll be on the Gibson stage at 9pm - he'll be the incredibly sexeh one!

Peeping Tom - Kill the DJ |
] |
For those who are interested in these things, the plant Ben's mum bought me is Dracaena Marginata, otherwise known as a dragon tree or something like that. It's a magenta one, which means it's pretty and two-tone. I love it.
My mother is on holiday on the Isle of Wight this week, she called me the other night to tell me she'd seen some band I'd never heard of. I'm going over her house tonight to mow the lawn for her. I'm good like that. Also I ordered some stuff that's being delivered to her house.
Am going out for a meal tomorrow evening with a bunch of people - Emma, Charli, Sarah, Kate, Arthur, my sis and her new bloke, my lil bro, Iain (who lives with M, oh dear), Anna, her boyfriend who I've still barely met. We're going for curry but after the shenanigans of Saturday night none of us is really up for a big night out in town. I'm sort of looking forward to it and sort of dreading it. I hate being centre of attention, especially when people are giving me presents. I told them not to buy presents but a couple of them have any way.
Ben is taking me camping in the forest at the weekend. No idea where, and the forest is quite large. Should be fun though. Bless him!
My sis is meeting me for lunch today too, we're going to Pizza Hut. Mmmmmm pizza. Am a fat bloater recently and really should not be eating pizza, but I like it. The healthy eating starts again on Monday.
( here are some photos to keep you sweet. )
PS EVERYONE should go out and hunt down a copy of the Peeping Tom album cos it FUCKING ROCKS. I am in love with it. mmmmmm Mike Patton.
That is all for now.

( here are some pictures of my hair... and some other random shite. )
I think I just got chatted up by a police "man" who looked about 18 and used the "F" word about 5 times in 10 minutes. I feel old!
In other news - I am slightly apprehensive about tomorrow morning, being as it is Wednesday morning and weigh-in/measuring day. Over the weekend I managed to consume a curry, a Chinese, several banoffee pie chocolate digestives, and half a tub of Ben & Jerry Cookie Dough ice cream. And a load of other stuff I can't even remember! Oops! It was so worth it though, I had the best weekend for a really long time!

Crowded House - Distant Sun |
] |
Went swimming tonight. Only did 12 lengths, cos the pool was so crowded. But I walked all the way there and back - which is up and then down a really steep hill.
While I was there I ran into a friend... well, I say I ran into him - I can't see shit without my glasses, so he yelled and waved a lot and I finally recognised him. We went and sat in the jacuzzi and chatted for a bit so that was nice. He lives near the leisure centre so has promised to come and cheer me on when I do this race.
My boss is being really great, giving me tips and what have you. She lives in Bath, but she said she might drive down to support me in the race. She runs races like this all the time - I think she's doing a 10k one this weekend. Recently she seems to have been racing every weekend. It's nice that she's helping. Well everyone is helping really, everyone has advice and tips and offers to come out training with me, so that's really handy.
Right, well I'm knackered so I'm off to bed. Am hoping to get up in the morning and do some exercise before work. Ooh, get me!
PS I love this song, Crowded House are so underrated.

Have I told you guys lately just how great you all are?
This is a begging post...
For some bizarre reason, I've signed up to do Race for Life this year. I can't even run down stairs to open the door and let someone in... and I've just promised to run 5 kilometres. Oh shit.
Any way. Please, Please PLEASE PLEASE go here and sponsor me.
You don't need to give loads and loads of money - whatever you can afford will be really appreciated.
And for people in Salisbury - feel free to come down and cheer us on on 2nd July. I'm running with my little sister in the 14:30 race.
Wish us luck, I've a feeling we're really going to need it!
Thanks everyone!

| Anyone got a van? |
[02 Apr 2006|08:29pm] |
So my uncle says i can have his 3 piece suite for less than Faye wants, so I'm going to have it...
One problem - he lives in Wilton, which is about 3 miles away. I have no way of getting it here.
Does anyone have a van or what have you, and would be willing to come and help move it? I will of course pay for petrol and beer expenses...
