Today was pleasant

2006-09-07T17:10:39+02:00

It was our 9th wedding anniversary, we have been together 16yrs mind, but it took me a while to get the cuffs on

we werent sure what to do, he had the day off and we didnt want to spend it sitting around the house all day, but we had limited time as we did have the tumble dryer coming at 2pm and so we decided to go to the Anglican cathedral inliverpool and whats more we were goign to do the `tower experience` which involves 2 lifts and 108 steps,

it seemed such a good idea when we first thought about it, lovley clear day see for miles etc, ut 20 steps up i was wondering if the ambulance was coming 50 steps up i looked like a beetroot, and 70 steps up it suddenly dawned on me why i was dying the diet im on has the sum total of under 500 cals a day and i had used all of them and my body was screamng for mercy,

but when we arrived at the top, and i had my breath back, the views were spectacular, although i suddenly remembered i was a little wary of heights, lol a little late when your 500 feet above sea level, but none the less a great experince,
the inside of the cathedral was stunning i have always loved architecture, i knwo buggar all about it other than i like to look at buildings. you wonder how they make these fantastic arches and ceiling,

while we were there i spent the whole time whispering lol its an ingrained thing about not speaking out loud, mark reckons its cos i swear too much and was scared of being heard, he may have a point,

im crap at bloggin

2006-09-03T12:28:47+02:00

well the saga of the tetras is over really as now they are installed intheir tank and looking hapy, although one has disappeared, down the gullet of the other 4 no doubt, and the water is clear and lovley, but my other tank has gone weird lol and has lots of little things in the water and is cloudy, so thats being treated as i type,

The diet is humming along nicely i have lost a total of 3 st 1lb in 7weeks, and although i was a teensy weensy bit disapointed with the last two weeks as i lost 4lb on each week, i slapped myself for it as over all its a fantastic loss, and with the end in sight im actually thinking of moving my goalpost further away and going for another half stone to put myself in a position of safety so that if ever i put on a few pounds i will be ok and can afford to get rid of them with excercise,

im trying to do crunches and failing dismally though i should point out this isnt me being lazy i do have old neck injuries, as in i broke it in `82 and shouldnt really do crunches but i need to work on the flab on my belly which ok has shrunk a lot but will never go , i hate the idea of a tummy tuck, a, cos i cant afford one, and b, cos i should imagine it hurts and im a coward

im soo lookng forward to wednesday when my son goes back to school he is so bored and driving me mad, i think he has been grounded so many times this hols for being cheeky that it is standerd now, although he is very handy when we go shopping i wont miss having to explain why we cant buy 12 different cereals,

hope your all happy in blogland

Still no tetras

2006-08-25T10:38:52+02:00

Im no further in with getting fish for the new tank, i now have a `bacterial flourish` which has made the water go very cloudy, im assured it will clear, but im releuctant to put fish in there in case a) they bump into each other int he mist and b) it probably wont be good for them, and now added to the othere crap the light stopped working, first we replaced the bulb then the starter and still it wouldnt work so in a hige tantrum i ripped it all out and bought a new unit, which we fixed in last night and lit it all up, loks very pretty if a little cloudy still, its just pissing me off now,

and as if to mock me, my other esablished tank with puffer fish in has developed a problem, there are millions of floaty bits in it, and having tested the water there is nthing wrng int he levels, so i took some water to the local aquatic shop and we are puzzled, as we cant work out if its floaty bits or teeny bacteria, so i might rip out the plants today and replac them with false, they never ate them anyway so they wont miss them as a source of food, and they are pretty well fed, im waiting on a phone clal from the guy who owns the aquatic shop he wasnt in yesterday and im hoping he can shed some light on this,

Diet is going well, more and more people stopping me and commenting how much weight i have lost, and then there is always the `oh but that cant be good for you losing lal that weight` to which my standerd reply is ` but being grossly overweight is god for me? ` they usually say oh yes i suppose,` or they say i coudlnt do that, to which im always tempted to say ` yes well i bloody am dont be so negative` but i resist the urge,

Things are conspiring against me

2006-08-22T14:49:18+02:00

i got a new fish tank, a lovley hexagonal one, bought it for £30 off a friend who assured me the filter (a reasonable good one ) was fine and ready to go and the heater was great too, so i thought yup £30 is a bargain,
I already have a big tank with my puffer fish in, who are like two little lap dogs lol, and i have always wanted a smaller more ornate tank for some neon tetras, which i think are so beautiful and schoal sp? beautifully, so i assembled the tank, bought some lovley purple grit and some nice ornaments, and then realised the filter had no insides, so i bought the bits inside which cost about £8 for the two types that go int here, (could have bought a new fluval2+ for a few quid extra :-(" class="middle" border="0"> ) put that in and then the heater which started practically boiling the water, no matter how low i turned it down, so that went in the bin and a new heater was bought for £12, now the piggin light wont work, and im seriously considering buying a complete new light unit as the one thats with it is flurescent and although i have replace the starter and i know the bulb hasnt gone cos it does flash on now and again, i dont knwo whats wrong with it, so im lkley to have to buy a new light unit which with bulb is gonna cost int he region of £15, coupled with the gravel and everything this bleeding tank has cost me about 75 quid already and there isnt a bloodey tetra in sight yet,

I ate!!!!

2006-08-17T15:36:00+02:00

i had my birthday meal, well i laughinglycall it a meal, in my previous life as a one woman food eating machine it would have been a sandwich filler, i had some green salad with a teeny time amount of beetroot and some chicken, and it was yummy, took me about half an hour to eat it, and when i did i had t lie down lol felt like i had eaten a full banquet, and i had terrible indegestion, but im back in ketosis this morning, although i forgot to test last night to see if i went out , and i have a mild headache which im wondering if it had anythign to do with the few carbs that were in it,

and i dont feel any inclination to eat anything else, luckily, and have gone onto my soups again quite happily, so all in all a success,

Its Today

2006-08-16T08:27:27+02:00

Its my birthday !!!! yayyy happy birthday to meeeeeeeeeeeeeee

and what a birthday i have had so far, and its only 8.15am. the flaming dog got loose, and we were scouring the neighbourhood at 6am for him, eventually found him in next doors side yard, we dont know how the hell he got out, as we put netting up all over the very tall gate and somehow he has got thru it, and then he got through trellis fencng and more net, the dog is a reincarnated harry bloodey houdini,! i remember looking out the kitchen window about two years ago and wondering what the hell was climbing the chicken wire and there he was a little yorkie six foot up the chicken wire making a bid for freedom, i wouldnt have beleived it had i not seen it with my own eyes,

so that was the start to my birthday, then i was up sipping water sparingly cos i have my weigh in at 9am, and water adds pounds lol, so until im weighed i cant do more than sip,

after that im going to boots to see how much my gift card my lovley bruv has given me has on it, bloodey daft things these new gift cards, you have no idea whats on them till you go to the store and ask the to run the card thing through the till, i like the old fashined gift vouchers, still it was a present and im not ungrateful,

then we need to go to homebase and see what kind of stuff we can get to stop the dog climbing out, hubby suggested a lump of concrete tied to his collar but i think thats a touch extreme, although it would work, im at a loss though and hoping for insparation, you wouldnt think a farting little yorkshire terrier could get out the places he does,

the rest of the day i intend to spend doing nothing, although i will be having a meal of chicken salad, this is a birthday treat and will be the first food i have eaten since july 11th, im not ecpecting it to stay in my system very long lol as i have heard it shifts through you quite quickly when you on this diet, and i havnt been doing add a meal week either so it will be weird eating real food,

i just remembered i got a new cycle machine for my birthday so i will be doing a few miles on that as well today, every little helps,
anyway have a nice day everyone

bloodey doctors

2006-07-11T08:54:34+02:00

why is it when we visit the doc we turn from normaly confident and in control women into a gibbering servile wreck ? or is it just me, ? i had to visit mine this morning (8.2am appt was a bit of a shock to my system) to get him to sign a form for me to start the cambridge diet, (see my other blog `the cd thing `under my friends ) and although this wasnt a form for permission it would have held up my start day for my diet had he refused to play ball,

and after i left i was angry with myself for how gushing i was in my gratitude that he signed it, and yes ok he didnt charge me and he could have, cos they charge for everything these days, but why is it when i go the docs i get so servile, i always have, and it always annoys me later, but the minute my ass touches the seat in the docs room i become this in awe person, and although they are learned professionals and all that, they are just humans after all, i have spent time in buckingham palace windsor castle and sandringham while i was in the army and the royals were there and they didnt elicit the slightest feeling of anything other than disgust at their wastefulness, so why do i do this at the docs??

In future im banning the hubby and child from the house when its eviction night on bb, the pair of swines were in the other room until five minutes before davina announces the evictee and suddenly decided to watch bb with me, then had a arguement 30 seconds before she announces it,
i could not belive it i had to throw a major wobbler to shut them up, god help them next time one of their programmes is on, im gonna be dancing in front of the screen,

its cooler tonight

2006-07-07T00:32:46+02:00

but i still cant sleep, im soooo bored of this weather, im also sick of seeing men in shorts socks and sandels, it isnt a good look, why do they do it ? they look horrendous, my own hubby attempted to do it a while ago and i nearly lynched him, and he honestly couldnt understand why it was gonna look awful,

i was his only bit of taste

lea`s face was a picture heheh

2006-07-05T22:50:44+02:00

i just nearly peed me pants when i saw lea`s face on BB, hehehe i just love this show,

johnathon didnt look happy did he ?

i have to say BB really screwed this one, talk about milking it, i bet they were rubbing their hands in glee,

and then he didnt even get a proper eviction, i dont know why im surprised by BB doing this though as they have to think of worse things to do to them each year, and they have had it pretty easy this year,

we need them to fail all their tasks and live on crackers for a week lol im wicked me lol

Sunday Afternoons

2006-07-02T13:36:29+02:00

relaxing in the garden ?

having a quiet afternoon in the deckchair ?

cooking lunch whilst glancing through the window at the birds feeding fromt he table ?

wrong

Our sunday afternoon is listening to the witless half breeds that live in the culdesac behind us, screaming like banshees, swearing like sailors, and we used to think `how do their parents allow his` easy we found out they are at the pub and when they come home not only do we have the kids screaming we have the adults fightng, i have actually had to brng my kid indoors as the language they were using was making me cringe and i can swear with the best of them,

There is no point calling the police as `its a civil matter` which translates into `we cant be arsed as there is no point they are banjo playing idiots and anyway we are busy getting out tea from the chippy and using the sirens to get back to the station so they dont get cold`
And the council tell you to keep a log, and neighbours around who have done that and sent them in get their windows egged, it goes quiet for a week then suddenly it starts again,!!

I have lived here 6 years and every year his happens, and no-one appears to be able to do anything about it, its ridiculous that they get away with it, but the law seems unable to do anything, i now have a camera on the back of my house as well as the front, in the vane hope it acts as a deterrant, i rememnber when an englishwomans home was her castle, now it seems nothing is safe,

Well thank f*** thats all over

2006-07-02T01:35:17+02:00

i was at the hairdressers this afternoon and said to him, i sort of hope england go out today as im sick of bloodey football, and hey presto they went, i wonder if i say the same about me arse and me belly hmmmmmm

ok i wanted england to do well in a way, but i hate footie its so boring, well since david ginola left it is and there is no dishy men in the england team, and no i dont think david beckham is that good looking, and wayne rooney well he looks like bleedin shrek !!!

so now it is over all those stupid car flags will hopefully disappear, and we can get back to some normality, the only positive thing i can say about the footie was it was a fab time to go shopping when they were playing, no cars on the road, car parks empty, and the tills sat quiet, bliss,

Bloodey Tarmaccers Wives

2006-06-30T15:01:22+02:00

Well you must have heard of footballers wives, will this is similiar but with headscarves and cheap trinkets,
They knock on your front door in the middle of the afternoon and ask ` do you want to buy a charm from a gypsy` my retort is usually ` why do you know one,` which doesnt go down well, after much huffing and puffing from them about how they were descended from gypsy rosa lee thee times removed, i inform them that my ex mother in law is in fact married to the son of an actual romany gypsy, and that a real gypsy didnt travel round with tarmaccers and if they dont piss off back to their luxury caravan i would ring him and ask for a curse to be placed on their 4x4`s parked under the motorway bridge alng with their hubbies trucks and vans,
soon shifts them,

the most pain you can have with your clothes on

2006-06-30T01:52:50+02:00

Just had my eyebrows waxed the other day and the girl who did it was about 4 foot high, never in my life have i ever allowed anyone to inflict that much pain on me without nutting them, and i lie there and whimper, well actually i shout fuck ever time she peels the cloth off, the pain the pain, sob she knows me so its ok, she knows im an absolute jessie, and she doesnt mind me swearing, which is just as well as i have tourettes which only appears whilst im being waxed,

i think i might do a beauty course just on waxing, must be fun legally infliciting pain on people,

new obesity drug

2006-06-29T12:17:18+02:00

Rimonabant released now, and get behind me in the queue, although i suppose it will be no different to the raft of other shite that doesnt work, and before some smart arse comes on here giving it `if you ate the right food and excersised blah blah` well we know that you stupid sod, but we are past that point and im sorry but unless you have actually been huge and lost a shitload of weight then im not interested cos you cannot possibly have any idea of the myriad of reasons people put weight on, cos just eating too much is not the only problem,

see if it was just a case of we ate too many pies then that would be a peice of piss to solve, but you only have to look around to see the numerous eating or non eating conditions there are to see we as a a society have a fucked up attitude to food and while we allow junk food to be cheaper than healthy we dont stand a chance,

if food was taxed on fat content and healthy food cheaper and given subsidies it would help a section of the community who can only afford to buy certain foods,

then we need to provide real help to people with eating disorders, not dismiss them with anti depressants, ok imnot sure what the help is they need, cos i think its different for each and every one, but we need to give them help to overcome it,

and it needs to become socialy unacceptable to make comments at people about their weight and that includes slim people, people who makle derogatory comments to fat or thin people need a good slap, dont you realise the harm your causing, probably not cos they are usually too concerned with how they look,

bitch over im off to flint to see me mate,

its as well i dont have tickets i suppose, i would probably be far too bitchy and end up with my own channel 4 show

Schools

2006-06-28T18:17:42+02:00

They do my bloodey head in, i gets an irate call from my sons headmaster today, asking me to collect my lad as he has been fighting, now he has been told off for fighting in the past, but i have never had to go in cos of it, and it was all normal boy stuff, he is 11 after all,
the head says to me on the phone ` i am at the end of my tether with him` so i said when you say that does it mean there have been other incidents i dont know about ? no he says its just all the boys seem very rumbunctious right now, ok i said i will come in,

gets to school and the headmaster tells me that although my lad was fighting he never started it so he is only getting a days exclusion and it wont go on his record, the other lad who started it is getting a few days as he hit him first,
thing is when i get mylad home i cant punish him cos as he quite rightly says mum if i had walked away when he hit me and told a teacher i would have everyone having a go at me, i cant just stand there and let someone hit me, and he is right, for a while in primary he was bullied and he one day stood his ground and has never looked back, and letting yourself be hit is going to cause problems,
so although we have had words with him about scrapping in the classroom, there isnt going to be a grounding or punishment cos i cant bring myself to,

i cant wait for him to leave this school in a few weeks time, some of the teachers have been lovley but some are right little hitlers who are on a power trip, and the head i have mixed feelings about as mostly he is ok, but sometimes he is so bloodey arrogant,

so thats what i shall be doing here, moaning a lot about about things, people and situations that piss me off on a daily basis, as rather than bend everyones ears im going to write it down and hope its cathartic (well we all purge in some way lol this will be mine,)
