I'm up since 8am waiting on workmen to come do my kitchen but they still aren't here and my eyeballs are going together.  I hate mornings.

They said before 9am, usually they land at 8am when I don't want them here.

PLEASE DON'T USE HALFORDS AUTOCENTRE

HUGE PRICE  - POOR WORKMANSHIP - SURE THEY DAMGE CARS TO GET MORE WORK

PLEASE, PLEASE JUST DON'T !!!!

It's stopped raining!!  It's actually stopped raining!!  *faints*

we are on day 2 of no rain   and today the sun is shining 

weather man said this morning Summer returns next week 

Don't believe him.  Remember when Michael Fish said there definitely wasn't a hurricane on the way. 

If the summer does come back next week, I hope it's in the afternoon so I can stop at the pub on the way home from work to sit outside with a glass of wine. (It just doesn't feel right doing that, first thing in the morning)

Our ballcock has broken,trying to get a plumber or a plumbers supplies merchant open here on 12th July is almost impossible.

My eyes hurt today... it's all bright outside... (not sunny by any stretch of the imagination, but it's not dark for a change)

The workman removed my kitchen cupboard and found that I had had a leaking pipe for God knows how long and the whole lot was rotted and there was a big stinky puddle  The plumber is on his way though so hopefully they get it sorted today.

Aww Ells ,water and plumbing matters are a darn nightmare,Sunday before Christmas we'd a leak from the tank in the airing cupboard,I was in tears tbh...Hope you get it sorted,when your plumbers finished ask him to make his way to my house and sort this ballcock please.

What's July 12th got to do with it?  Is it a holiday?

 The Spanish inquisition has commenced how the ballcock got broken,I was cleaning inside the cistern as you do and it just came off,I never touched the ball or cock,I never,it just fell down in the water. 

I wore my sunglasses to drive to work.  

Cinds it's marching season for the Orangemen,the place grinds to a bliddy halt tbh.Add to that the expected trouble because they INSIST on marching through catholic areas en route and back despite the parades commission trying to keep conflict to a minimum 

  No, Lee.. as YOU do...  I wish you were my housekeeper.

  If I pay your air fare and a substantial per hour fee, will you come and clean my house.

This is about the same standard as my lackadaisical approach to cleaning.

Sssh,don't let him hear you Kaffy,he'd have a right moan that it wasn't necessary I do things like that and cause problems...Oh gawd now it appears we have an airlock.

Lee, I've never cleaned the inside of the cistern in my life  I'll send you the plumber if you come back up here with him and clean my house.

The place is a mess!  Everything from the kitchen is in the hall and living room  You'd love it!

Cinds when I go to New York I end up cooking and cleaning,I always get teased that I go through the house like a cleaning tornado ....Ells I take the cistern lid of to clean behind it,while there I always give inside a quick clean and every so often chuck in a de- scaling tablet....Any road ballcock is fixed temporarily ,Mr Lee put a little screw in it,hopefully it will be ok until normality is restored after the 12th.

After several failed attempts I managed to the nurses satisfaction to give myself my injection. It did take several attempts to hit the top of the pen,you would have thought I was setting off a nuclear war head  but I did it

Well done you Erin,that is a great achievement imo.....I'm an absolute wuss when it comes to needles,my veins are bad so accessing them is a nightmare,doctor and hospital notes all marked poor venous access,If it's for a blood sample I just tell them go ahead take it from my hand,most prefer not to they think it's too painful,not for me, it's better than all the prodding around in my arms,I have in the past had to have it taken from my foot while in hospital after surgery.

Whoooooo - hoo my sticky birds on a wire have arrived - I'm ridiculously excited - can't wait to get them on the wall. And Lee - it was little Jack who ran to the postie  I was fighting him out of the way - and ......................................I'm pretty sure I have never cleaned the inside of a toilet cistern.

Ells - good luck with your kitch - so relieved mine is done - I was going out of my mind.

And - don't talk to me about plumbers ....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - ours was a nightmare - too long a story but I'd never use him again!

Where are you putting the birds on a wire Sooz?,no post here today but no grandkids either ,it's a holiday if we like it or not.....Hmmm speaking of things for the wall,I bought a gorgeous thing in New York last year,black letters which spell out grandkids and lovely black photo frames that go underneath it,I'll have a look in my *Storage* wardrobe later,it has to be there.

Mr Cinds has just informed me that everyone can see my bra through my top.  I suggested I took it off so they wouldn't be offended by seeing my bra, and that way they could just stare right at my tits.  He wasn't impressed.

 Tell him you'll wear a peekaboo bra next time,

I got a prezzie at work today and it isn't my birthday 

That's nice - what was it?

Bottle of wine and two big bars of Galaxy Caramel

We've had peeps on a four week course that finished today and Jo (the tutor) and myself got a prezzie 

Lovely 

Enjoy

I'm one glass into the bottle already 

Bottoms up Sprout

Only £525 left on my loan of £4k for thirty months, Whoo hoo! Ends in September and a credit card finishing about the same time 

I can afford to buy Christmas prezzies this year  

I've received an e-mail to win tickets through Toshiba to see the Dark Knight Rises. why should I have to visit it's FB page to enter the comp. I don't want to.
