Too hot

The sun is shining, the cats are sleeping, it's too hot for anything except ice cream which is not great for the old diet! Actually mini congratulations to baby cat #1 as he caught his first mouse today...aww bless
Plus people are annoying - it's official! Supposed to have 9 people on a course tomorrow now have 6...arrghhhhhh
Sorry not a very enlightening post but today has been one of those 'can't be arsed' days and surprisingly I even got away with it and can't say I've achieved anything of note at work today.
Must get butt into gear about moving to London, tis all a bit big and scary though...baby steps, baby steps....

*** Ooh website is now registered on first page of hits on google but have completely confused MSN staff with a query regarding their results pages and they haven't spoken to me in a week as trying to figure out the problem...just try this for me (maybe it's just me). On msn set your settings so that you get 50 results per page and then do a search for something that will have loads of results, say Nicole Kidman for example. Then click to page 5 of results, then try to click (using next or the page number) to page 6 and see what happens. I keep getting the same results and no matter what page I try to click to (14, 20, 86 etc) it won't go any further than 5! If it happens, send MSN support an email, lets bombard them with it til they sort it! Alternatively you could do what MSN staff do anyway, and just use google *g*

Mad cat

Think the cat is going to get spongyitis as I've just caught it drinking the water out of my foot spa! hmmmmmm

Hi ho Hi ho

and back to work go. Ok so the weekend was fine, had the house to myself on Saturday night which was bliss. Did all the girlie things like, 40 mins on the cross trainer (bloody hell my thighs hurt), lovely bubbly bath (plucking my ever increasing eyebrows whilst I was at it), then settled down to tea (which consisted of 4 x Laughing cow light triangles, yoghurt with fruit coulis, 2 glasses of wine and 4 tiny bits of fair trade dark chocolate - bizarre I know) and then watched the fabulous Sword of Honour. However didn't actually realise it was a mini series and over 3 hours long, so was a bit surprised that I was still up watching it at gone midnight, however it was worth it and I strongly recommend it to anyone who enjoys Foyles war and the like.

Sunday was spent lolling around reading the paper, updating websites and dragging out my foot spa as I realised my feet are in a bit of a knackered old state (its my age you see, everything's beginning to droop or ache or crack....)
Oh yes and Mummy cat is quite mad, she seems to have decided to 'provide' for the kittens (even tho 2 have left home and the other 2 are 5 months old) so far she has relocated the following items: Scrubbing brush, chicken bones, flips flops, my Frank n Furter rubber duck and several worms (now deceased) - odd little thing. Plus black and white kitten decided he was going to come in from outdoors whilst I had the window open, however his perception must have been slightly askew as he ran straight up to the window, smacked into it and the slid down the outside just like a cartoon sketch. He was unharmed, however I nearly had to be taken to hospital to have my sides stitched up (funniest thing I've seen in ages, still laughing about it now in fact).

Mini milestone

Ok so I think I've turned a milestone...
Last night I opened a bottle of wine...and wait for it...it's still open. Yes that's right I actually only drank about 2 glasses from it which means its still sat in the fridge for tonight. That might not mean a lot to you but to me it's like turning a new page in a book as I was very much with the school of 'once you open a bottle you've got to consume the lot'. I can only assume that this strange behaviour is what resulted in my even more strange desire to go for a run this morning. And this I did - yes me, at 6am this morning running round the fields, well being honest it was kind of lollaping, strolling, lollaping a bit more.... but I was the only person in the fields at 6am (the wellie brigade not having roused their cocker spaniels from their beds yet) and its a glorious morning so apart from getting a blister and being covered in bits of hay, it was alright!

Parting is such sweet sorrow

Ok so I officially feel like the biggest bitch in the world. A very nice couple came today to have 2 of the kittens and although I know 7 cats is waaayyy too many I just felt awful having to give 2 away. I know the couple so know they will look after them really well and even managed to maintain my composure but how do you pick which 2 are supposed to go. Its not helped by Mum wandering round looking for them...I feel awful.....
On the plus side the chap I was chatting about yesterday wandered past me at lunch and made a point of saying hello and smiling. I was of course with said friend at the time so I have to say there was a little imp inside of me doing a little jig and pulling a na na na nah nah, I told you so face!

Flippin people

So back to work today as felt much better but kind of wished I hadn't bothered. I have a friend who's going through a bit of a rough patch at the moment so I'm being my normal sympathtic self trying to encourage to go out more, being a shoulder to cry on etc and I don't expect her to be happy or cheerful or anything, but when she can't even say nice things to me it makes me wonder why I bother! She couldn't even muster a well done when I said I'd lost 3lbs (which she knows is an uphill battle for me) and then when I mentioned some chap that I fancied and made of joke of the fact I could try and get him to ask me out, her response was 'Well that's never going to happen is it!' Bloody cheek if you ask me, I mean she might hate men at the moment but does she really have to piss on my parade too!
Sorry min rant over and done with now.

ughhhhhh

So am feeling slightly sorry for myself today and feeling all yucky with bad head and stomach. Think I may have a bit of heatstroke, even though I didn't really venture outside yesterday I think I must be really dehydrated. I elected not to go for a walk last night but got out my lateral thigh trainer and did a rather intense workout for nearly an hour (burning approx 400 calories) felt quite good but extremely sweaty and smelly afterwards. Then came up with a great idea for a new website and spent all night thinking about it, meaning I didn't get to sleep until about 4am, which means I'm now trying to get back to sleep but the heat and builders are preventing me from doing so! On the plus side did lose 3lbs this week which is excellent as I thought I'd put on a pound.
Off to start tinkering with website....

Sunday Happy Sunday

Sunday's are fast turning into my favourite day of the week. Today is yet another hot one, way too hot if I'm honest. I'm sat here in shorts and t-shirt and literally everything is sticking to me, the cats are unimpressed too. Am pleased with myself though as got my arse in gear and went for a walk last night, then came back and even though I'd switched the PC off I switched it back on again and actually carried on with the book for 30 mins. Have done the same again today, so yep I've done a full hour's writing and am fairly pleased with what I got down. I suppose I should explain a little bit about it.
Have always wanted to write a book and believe I'm one of those 'everyone's got a book in them' people - although I don't really believe it because if that were true everyone would've had a book published by now and some people can't string a sentence together in a conversation let alone on paper. Anyway have had some half hearted attempts at it in the past more for my own practice than anything else. But have taken heed and have decided to write about what I know about so am kind of writing a handbook for the 30 something female. Well the first chapter which I'm having no problems with, is all about alcohol and considering that at the age of 31 I managed to throw up all over the kitchen last Saturday night due to way too much lemon schnapps, I think I'm quite well placed to give advice :)
Have also had a lovely lazy day reading the papers and chilling out...must do tarot reading in a bit.....

my so called life

Ok so my day so far consisted of, tidying up, arsing about on the pc, chatting to my mate who came over to get her laptop fixed by my housemate (to no avail), having a cooked brekkie at 3.30!, watching a bit of TV, avoiding anyone who has anything to do with football, going for a walk and then just possibly having bath...god its an exciting life I lead isn't it! Did start looking at jobs in London and rewriting my CV, if anyone's got any good tips on how to sell myself please advise. I mean know I can do the job and I'm committed and all that I'm just crap at selling myself and tend to be too modest..and yeh I am conscious that, that sounds really egotistical as well...ack you can't win

Wake up its a beautiful morning

Ok so its a glorious morning here, the sun is out and the cats are all lazing about as its too hot for them.....so what does the day hold...not a clue? Spent the night watching a comedy vid and consuming too much wine, have literally just got out of bed after spending an hour trying to extend my fantasy dream about a certain celebrity...didn't work as my mind always seems to take over with mundane details like I need to go and do the washing, have to wash the car, need to go for a walk as didn't go yesterday....ho hum
