The week before the move

Hello you! Thanks for coming back :-) How was your week? Well mine was.. pretty much a week to be fair!! I had Monday off and I GENUINELY cannot remember what the hell I did on that day. I'd like to think I had a lie in.. OH I think I packed.. I THINK. OH and I also went to get a pizza and a McFlurry with Gem which was aces.

Tuesday was back to work and I will admit.. that was one of the longest and hardest days in SQD so far. I had basically done some audits for customer services and quite rightly had marked down because none of them had asked these people "where are you getting £75k from to redeem your mortgage yourself?"... SURELY that is anti money laundering training kicking in right?? So I agrued and argued the point and it was eventually accepted.. but not that week. The deal was they change the way they question as long as the marks on this audit were changed to not include my CORRECT marking.. grrrr so that took about 3 hours of my time at least to change over all the audits and sit with the team leaders to argue my case.. that is taught in BASIC BLOODY TRAINING!! Grrrr can you tell?!??!

I've done my target for the month though so virtual high 5 woop woop. Let us move onto the weekend as that is muchos more fun! Friday (weekend starts Friday as I had the day off) .. was NOT as it turned out my day off.. I had instead to come in and do my appraisal for work. I hate having to justify on paper why I deserve a pay rise and a bonus when I worked by fecking socks off this year and the evidence is all around.. for example in the certified trainer certificate on the wall.. or the training manual I made in every single folder in Collections and SQD.. or the £65 vouchers I got for going well well well over my target for audits and quality checks. But meh.. had to be done so I gave myself all top marks.. cocky much ;-) well no actually for all the above! YEEEEAH!!

To be fair even though I spent the whole day in work, it was actually a right laugh. I completely distracted Vicky and Scott from their work, came up with a genius solution to Bambi's poor skin and had KFC!! I also came in in my green spider man hoody and when my boss Andrew came over to speak to me, I put the hood up and made him laugh.. but o man his laugh is something else! It's like a childs with a hint of man, seasoned in a woman! Loud, girly and sweet doesn't come close :-D Haha and the whole of our team were giggling like fools when I was trying to explain that my new house is on quite a leafy road. Andrew (commenting on the lack of leafs on trees now) said "well it isn't anymore".. and from NOWHERE like the absolute FOOL I am, shouted back (almost hysterically) "WHY WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THEM??" - Like he went out on his lunch hour to steal all the leafs??!? We had amazing mental images of his car vibrating, fit to burst with leafs hehe. Silly.

Of course Friday was McFlurry day and we went on what can only be described as a road trip to the unknown.. we were driving around in the country (can't say where in case we accused of stalking.. which was exactly what was happening) and she took us down this single track country road.. that got smaller... then smaller.. till eventually we were pretty much just driving between hedges down a foot path it was rate scary! And on this little grass island was a long bin bag that I swear to God had a body in it.. bleerhrhhrhrhffggh. Scary.

But speaking of McFlurrys.. I've decided I will no longer have them. Shocking I know!!! But I am SO tired of waking up feeling so sick and wanting to die simply for some processed ice cream that, lets face it, is only making me fat! So from this day forward I will no longer be having any dairy apart from the small amount of milk I will have in cereal every now and then. And if I have toast, I will allow myself one cup of tea. Good times.

Now.. like Monday I have ZERO memory of Saturday day. I believe there was rugby and football which leads me to believe I was lying down... I cannot confirm this at this point. Saturday evening though was rockin'! I went to a pub I've never been before and not only did they do raspberry sambucas, my fav.. but they did them for £2.45.. for a double!! AND THEN not only did they have double blackcurrant sourz.. they had them for £2!!!!!! Without a shadow of a doubt this will now be my new haunt. O'neils?? NO THANK YOU! I have almost free alcohol a sneeze away!

Oh I don't know why sneeze reminded me of this but my Wii came Monday a WOO HOO! Wanted one for ever so long. YAY.

Sunday.. which is today.. has been an ever such a long day. I first went shopping with Vicky and got new curtains and some candles. I then was joined by Tim and Gem to build my wardrobe at the new place. It was brill but took so long!! And there was burnage also hehe, basically what happened was I was pulling the screw out of the curtain pole to put up the new curtains whilst a candle was burning on the window sill. I completely forgot it was there and immediately felt a burning sensation. Practically knocking Tim out, I threw my arm away and shouted "FIRE!!!" in a rather over dramatic way.. given that I wasn't burnt and there was no actual fire. Close though!!!

And now I am home. I just ate the worlds largest indian and if anyone had seen me they truely would have thought I was raised on a farm and learnt to eat in a trough. I was going for the popodoms like they were going extinct and people were fighting me for them! I had literally grabbed the yoghurt, held the brown bag with the popodoms in it and huddled myself into the corner of the kitchen making small grunting noises of popodom appreciation. OH and the sauce!! I've ordered there on pretty much every day of the week in the year I have lived in Wycombe and can confidently confirm that Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursday are the best days to order a tikka masala from that place, I absolutely adore how processed orange and creamy the sauce is. Mmmmmm - again!

So I'm winding down now, about to stick on Friends series 9 and fall asleep for the last time in Tadros court house. It's been a good house and a wonderful host to several parties. But it is time to move on before I end up doing a stretch is prison for the murder of the man-woman who has moved in... for I hate her quite considerably :-)

Good night people, have an amazing week and catch me on Sunday.. night night x

Ahh a long weekend.. Glorious!

Ey up!! This is my first blog since July 2008 and I am quite inexplicably really excited about it! I seem to relish every opportunity I get to tell the world what's going on in.. to quote my boss "Rowlands Land". So seen as over a years worth of information is quite a big chunk to write about.. and I want people to read this and not get bored.. I think I will stick to just writing about how my long weekend has been so far.. :-)

Well Thursday is actually where I will start.. sorry for the lie there but meh! Thursday was epic because that was the day I got my vouchers from work, all £65 worth WOOP WOOP! Now I know that doesn't sound like much of a bonus but we don't normally get incentives and this one was to recognise all the hard work I put in going well over my target and getting 100% on my quality checks! That's right.. I'm ace. So all of you lot out there who think I'm too harsh well with my marking.. get over it! I'm ace!!

So Thursday was the last I was in work. Friday I had taken off because I had some spare holiday which had to be used by the end of the year and I figured seen as I'm moving soon and all I do when I get home fom work is sit in front of the TV pissing my life away in a pool of my own drool.. I better crack on packing some boxes... which didn't exactly go to plan.. more EPICNESS happened instead!!!!! First off was the lie in.. glorious.. simply wonderful. Then it was email from Vicky asking if I wanted to go to Asda.. now .. I don't know about anyone else but I love a supermarket! Get me in there, get me weighing up the costs and the benefits of the multi buy deals and I'm happy... I love to mock their deals as well such as at the moment, Asda have chocolate milkshake on offer 2 for £2 .. bargin you say?! Correct!!! But then again.. not really seen as it's £2 for 2 of £1 for 1.... I mean seriously why waste a tree to print off a "MEGA DEAL ON MILKSHAKES!!!".. when actually all that has happened is people will go "ooo well I might as well get two...".. oh actually Ihave just written why they do it.. to reel in slow people who are attracted to shiny glossed cardboard.. me :-)

But that wasn't really the epic-ness (sorry just to interupt this bit.. don't go to the Asda in High Wycombe if you are petrified of a) father christmas, b) scarily life sized versions of father christmas, or c) scarily life sized versions of father christmas having an epileptic fit in the door way, blocking your entrance to the store.....).. No the epic-ness was going to get a tattoo I have wanted for approximately forever.. rough guess. It is the tetragrammaton on my right wrist. I adore it it is beautiful and I love it when people ask what it means... I tell them a little bit about it.. they scoff and then I proper go into and they are all "oh.. right, this is actually quite cool". I'm aware.. thank you!

I had that done with my bestest fwend Gem who got the most beautiful band around her arm, it truely is lovely. The woman who did it though.. I'm toying between her being lovely and slightly mental.. For example.. from NO WHERE!!! we started talking about double vaginas?????? Then onto ailments we all had because I couldn't stop hiccuping.. only to discover she has botox put in her bladder to stop constant pissing!!.. Nice to know you're in a potential urine drenched tattoo parlour with needles being dragged across your skin.. good times good times.

The fun of Friday then moved on to the almost weekly ritual of Vicky driving us all around the world to get a Macdonalds, talk shit, bitch till one of us starts to bleeds from the ears and or eyes, and generally try and spot wildlife! One amazing journey once took us to Comedy Dave's house where to start off the evening I littered his garden with a snotty tissue.. hehe.. we then drove down a country lane and in quick succession saw a rabbit, a badger, a rat and then A U.F.O!!!!! And not just one my friend.. TWO!! I took pictures and everything.

This Friday though we had company. Gem and Tim came for the ride too and we had so much fun in Macdonalds. First off was the lightsabre duel me and Vicky had with our happy meal suprises.. then there was Gemma's dry ice milkshake haha, then they all asked me a question and instead of replying like a human, I made a growling burp noise! Honestly my face was one of abject HORROR as it rose through my asophagus and then out into the air! What was weird though is in my head, I knew it was coming and my mental inside voice put on a proper proper polite english accent and said "oh dear this won't be pleasant!" .. safe to say we all rolled about laughing. Our Macdonalds time ended with me nearly ending up with a light sabre in my spine, rocketed through my chest with the force of the collision between Gem and Vicky's fight lol.

There was then arguments over U.F.Os with Tim.. we won't go there though!! But the night ended well and we had a proper laugh! Now.. I have completely lost all trach of time. I am lead to believe it is Sunday but to fair it could be Saturday, Sunday, June.. I really haven't got a clue because I have sat on the same sofa, staring at the same screen and not breathing in any fresh air since Friday.. I'm begining to wonder if my legs still work to be honest!! Imagine ... "Sorry I can't come to work.. I've lost the use of my legs through shere laziness!!"

Actually I have again lied to you.. what in fact actually happened on Saturday is I did some packing.. WOOT! And you know when you are just going through your things and all of a sudden a lost treasure appears?? Well TWO appeared for me. One was my ex's man purse! It is this purple little bad with a gold chain where he kept his hayfever medicine and other bits and bobs. I opened it up and found indegestian pills yay! but most randomly.. his car keys??! How the smeg did that happen and how has he a) not noticed in 2 years and b) managed to sell the car without the keys??!??! I then found the best treasure.. my old Song Erricson, which was ace because I have just really recently got a new Song Erricson so I was able to charge it. Out of this proper old phone came a million memories and approx. 12 thousand videos from uni days! It was simply superb and hilarious to watch them back. That really was an awesome find :)

So anyway.. that pretty much sums up my long weekend so far! I have tomorrow off which will be brill because I really do honestly intend to do some serious packing.. Honestly! If not.. well I will still be here.. maybe watching homes under the hammer.. having a snooze in the afters watching a channel 5 drama :-) .. have a wonderful evening and weekend guys... xxx
