I'm in shock.

I've just had a Pete in tears on the phone. A very good friend of ours Mark was killed on his motorbike last night. Kristy his partner was on her bike behind him when it happened. They think he may have had a heart attack or an aneurysm and just failed a bend completely. Went straight on.

..and people believe there is a bloody God???

Another one gone. One of the lovliest funniest, happy go lucky blokes in this World. Gone. Even though Pete and I weren't together anymore Mark and Kristy stayed in touch. He and I shared a Birthday and never forgot to text Happy Birthday to one another. I need to go over and see Kristy. I just need to.

I'll miss you, wonderful man. x

I have today off work.
Lots of crap to sort out

Need to get a new top to wear tonight for Donnie's Birthday. Might well be out tomorrow night too.

Rar!

I've moved up the list for the new house, and they are allocating them in three weeks time. :D
Today went really fast, and I came home to a nice brew made for me. :)
I've lost a few more pounds which has just taken me into the realms of 'the next stone down' :)
I think i've become addicted to cereal bars.
I couldn't help but notice this morning on the way to work that it was quite dark. :( Dark mornings bad.

Oh and is there anyone else for This post

I have very fond memories of my Dad's Mum. The wonderful lady who taught me to paint. We'd sit at her kitchen table and she'd get all the oil paints out on rainy Sunday afternoons.
Even though my Dad wanted nothing to do with me, she still spent time with me and we did lovely things together.
Sadly, more recently she has suffered these last years with Alzheimer's.

I've just been told she died this morning.

Goodnight sweetheart, and God Bless.

I just spent over £35 on make up at Asda.
I only went in for oven chips!

Oooops!

Seems it's the Colne Blues festival next weekend. Which means it's 3 years since the night I first met my bestest friend. Damn, it seems like we've known each other forever.
I love how we don't even have to say anything to each other...we just know. We know when we need each other and we know when we need space in the knowledge that we ARE there if needed.

I love you missis. xxx

Have a drink for me tonight! :)

So, not off to the dogs tonight after all. There were no places left in the end. But not to worry there's another meal paid for by work in a week or two, so i'm well up for that one...and bowling at some point too. :D

Hmm..now what do I do with myself this evening?

EDIT:
Woohoo! I'm being whisked away!

..as home computer is b0rked.

It seems i've lost another 8lbs..which makes a grand total of almost a stone since I started doing this losing weight thing.

:)

Being away from home and unable to nibble has helped a great deal.

Tomorrow it's Friday already...and for once i'm not looking forward to the weekend.

I don't get it?

What do men find so attractive about Tilda Swinton?

To ten people.

1. Missing our daytime stuff :/ x

2. It's so good to see you finally happy with someone who loves you very much.

3. You've no idea how much I wish i'd met you sooner x

4. I did what I could to the best of my ability. Sorry it wasn't good enough.

5. Stay?

6. I've loved reading how everything has come together for you. Good luck with your two big upcoming days :)

7. Have a little more faith in yourself. You rocketh muchly.

8. You are *her* loss. Don't forget that.

9. Be happy. After all that's happened for you over the past few years, you've earned it.

10. I knew Fatherhood would suit you. ;)

How did it get to be Thursday already? O.o

There's the heady scent of lilies in my living room, it's really lovely.

Today work let me loose on some of the secure access stuff, and i'm rather proud of myself that I can do it.
I got my wage slip and they've paid me for the training days too, it's rather more than I was expecting so it's safe to say i'll not be struggling anymore, which is such a relief.

*sighs a happy sigh and goes to make a cup of tea*

It's nearly the weekend..WOOT! :D

So very hard to believe that my baby boy is 18 tomorrow.
Where the hell does the time go? It doesn't seem two minutes since I took him for his first day at school...



Today we finished the categorisation at work, and Mat said becuse i'd worked so hard on it, I could go home early! :D
WOOT!

It appears that i've managed to lose 5lbs so far since I started work. This does go a little way to helping me not feel quite so crap about myself :/
Alpen do the most amazing cereal bars, with apple and pear, and peach and apricot. One of these each day is now my breakfast. I have a weightwatchers chicken wrap...(or some such like) for lunch, and I take a piece of fruit or keep a ceral bar in my bag in case I get peckish at all.
But really, i've been so busy I havn't had time to think about being peckish. The day just goes so quickly.

All seems to be working. Let's see if I can keep it up. Or down. One of the two.

I have stepped out into the World of total independance. Whereby I have to rely upon myself completely. There'll be no more help and security nets.. a little scary.

I do however doubt myself sometimes, probably because I get put down so much, so really this is just a gee-up from me to myself.

The weight is slowly coming off...and i've never felt better.
I can do it. :)

YES!!!!

YES YES YES YES YES YES !!!

Rick took me down on the bike to see Mat, and it was basically just to let me know what i'd be doing and hours and such like and ..when can I start?

So YAY!

Who needs the jobcentre when you've got Rick to get you a job!

Rar!

Just back from the opticians.
A little short sighted, and definately borderline for driving purposes. Pick my glasses up in a week.

Hmm...

Bored now.

..and off go another two job applications.

One where I will have to work Saturday afternoons, and one where I won't. I don't care which I get, just as long as I get one of them... :)
Sarah is taking Simon over to Pete's tonight, and as it's a bank holiday i'm more than likely to be child free until Monday evening now...Wahoo!
Drinkies with friends on Saturday!

:D

It's all gonna be great for me this year, i've decided. Fingers crossed for:

New house.
New job.
Possibly a car.
D.I.V.O.R.C.E. :D
New start.

Now I just need a new image and a new name. I think I should dye my hair Atomic Pink and call myself Pinxii Tinklesprocket.

What say you? :D

A frikkin YETI just came to collect a parcel from my house. I kid you not, that had to be the hairiest bloke I have ever seen.
..and being the biker type as I am that's saying something.

O.O

Quick question for you Munchkin-ers. ;)

Are the later games all stand-alone or are they add-ons to the original?
