Dear Santa…

…all i want for christmas is a complete makeover possibly a few £1000 in the bank and a holiday somewhere that seems a million miles away!! BUT if thats too much to ask, a place to go christmas day would be nice!!

Its 2 1/2 weeks till christmas and I still dont know what I’m doing!!! It was bought sharply into focus again this afternoon at Jordans’ christmas play, all the parents were there discussing their plans and I had no idea what I am doing!! SHIT, better get something sorted else I can see myself spending the day alone in bed/climbing the walls/crying into my microwave turkey dinner and generally feeling like its the end of the world! Hmmm!

I think I’ve single handedly started a flu epidemic in my sons school, woke up this morning feeling awful again but realised that the symptoms had shifted from the hangover variety to the more heady cold like variety. My head hurts, my neck is sore, my throat hurts my sinuses are blocked and i feel like shit. I’ve been drinking Lemsip, eating soothers and sleeping on my moms’ sofa untill I woke witha shock and realised it was time to go to the school to watch “The Hoity Toity Angels” our schools twist on the nativity play. I’m sorry to all the parents/teachers/children that came into contact with the shivery/coughing/generally ill me, dont blame me if you’ve caught this cold, Blame James it’s all his fault as I’m sure thats where I got it from in the first place!!

Back to work tomorrow, I really dont feel up to it right now, but this close to Christmas I cant afford the time off so I’ll just go infect the rest of the city of Wolverhampton with my whining and piss my manager off by coughing/sneezing on the customers, GOD i hate being ill, worse I HATE being single and ill, no one to rub my back, make me a hot chocolate or just help put the little one to bed, BAH oh well time to go complain some more at my mom at the very least i can con her into making me a cup of tea!

Not that I had a lot to drink over the weekend BUT…

…I stil feel like I’ve been in a train wreck this morning!!

Every part of me aches, my shoulders, back, legs. head etc.. my eyes are still having a little trouble focusing and although I dont feel the imminent threat of anything I eat regurgitating itself anymore there is still something not quite right!

I want to sleep the rest of the week away but such luck for me, working all week as well as fitting in.. Tuesday is my sons christmas play, Friday is his birthday and Saturday I have to try and find somewhere to take him to see father christmas, any ideas anyone?? December is considerable lacking in Grotos this year…maybe all the elves have gone on strike with the firemen and gas board??

Like an idiot I said he could choose what we did this weekend, he wants to go see santa and I dont think I’m going to be able to deliver hmmm…any volunteers to dress up for me??

Nurofen, Bacon Sandwiches and PLENTY OF WATER!!

The recipe for my Sunday after this weekend!

My head feels too heavy for my neck and my liver is divorcing me and taken most of my spleen, kidneys and stomache as alimony!! BUT I enjoyed getting in this state!!

Friday night went (as i mentioned before) to the Royal London to meet people and although i set out to have a good night and a bit to drink ,which I did with the usual finesse, Ending the night throwing up the pizza I’d just eaten in my bathroom (which is strange for me as I dont usually throw up) and waking with a VERY groggy head and having to catch a train to Birmingham wasn’t part of the plan! Well the train to birmingham bit was planned but just not hungover and groggy.

After spending plenty of Saturday drinking VANILLA LATTES (Hmmmm) and climbing in shop windows (literally, we have photographic evidence) to take photos with James, walking around lots and visiting the German market where I had the nicest mulled wine affair out of a boot (see my moblog soon and James’ now for photos It was a perfect Saturday afternoon) I had to go to a family party…

…I was not looking forward to it. Typically what my family parties involve are uncles ignoring each other, aunts shouting at each other my nan crying because of all the tension me and my sister pissed and wishing we were anywhere but where we are. HOWEVER was I in for a shock!!!!

Last night was BRILLIANT! Everyone got along really well, Everyone also had too much to drink.

We taught my nan and other “older” members of my family drinking games such as “Fuzzy Duck”, “Genna Waves”, “Drink while you Think” and many more, which they embraced whole heartedly. We broke my grandparents, they had to go home early to bed (Grandad + vodka= trouble). I had a very enlightening conversation with 2 of my aunts about the merits of vibrators and the fun to be had with a power shower!! I now also have far too much inside knowledge of my uncles sex life courtesy of his pissed up wife!! Lager, Wine, Black Russians, Dirty Vimto, Vodka and Baileys really does make a lethal combination!!

It was ok, even if today is being spent feeling very sorry for myself trying not to be sick and eating headache pills like smarties. I dont mind not feeling well enough to go anywhere today though, I have a new CD to listen to, James the GENIUS has made me a mix disk and its FANTASTIC , I will have to post a picture of it has what he’s done is so clever!!

Right I’m going to ask my divorce lawyer to plead with my liver for reconciliation, I swear i wont do it agian…..untill next time anyway!! Besides I’ve come to the conclusion its sleep that causes hangovers not drink, (well I always feel fine before I go to bed LOL)

I’m almost there…

After spending a good 90% of the week in an AWFUL mood courtousy of an argument I enagaed in, which actually started last Wednesday and finally came to head this week, It’s nearly the weekend and I’m feeling much better.

I got an apology (which I KNEW I deserved) from the person I was arguing with, I haven’t got into any trouble at work for drinking Jack Daniels on my dinner break (which I KNEW I should have) and I’ve nearly finished my christmas shopping so in short…I’m almost there.

Tonight I’m going to meet Al, Steve and Kelly in town where I plan to consume MANY MANY jack daniels and Cokes, Then tomorrow I’m up bright and early to meet Mr Clarke in Birmingham to behave like a child ALL day round the German Market drinking out of boots, and then I have a party to attend in the evening. So busy weekend ahead, then its Jordans school play Tuesday and his birthday Friday of next week so another busy week then too….Better make the most of the peace and quite while I got it.

P.S Note for Gy who I know reads my blog: I’m presuming from your absence online and around about here that Teresa has finally gone into labour so congratulations, and remember that they dont bite!!! (Not till they’re a lot bigger anyway!!!)
