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)

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!!!)

Today it came, and then some!!

It snowed for hours and in typical British fashion everything came to a stand still, 1 hour 45 minutes I had to wait for a bus to get home tonight, AND THEN it took another 45/50 minutes to complete a journey that usually takes 20. The queues at the station were MILES long, I did have my camera in my bag and contemplated taking some photos BUT I then realised to get a decent shot I’d have to loose my place in the queue so decided against it!

Never mind I did keep everyone in the bus station amused even if I couldn’t feel my toes anymore. We laughed and joked the hours and minutes away. The lady in front of me (Hello Bev!!) actually thanked me when she got off the bus for keeping her spirits up, her words went something along the lines of “Thank god you were there tonight I think I’d have cried if you weren’t, Thank you” and another man did ask “Why are you so happy?” my response….”No point in complaining about something I can do FUCK ALL about.”

It did help that I’d been bought a box of choclates today from another “satisfied customer” at Ernest Jones, and I shared them with the people at the front of the queue, who’d been waiting the longest with me! They were less impressed when I tried to instigate a sing along, Nobody appriciated my rendition of “Let it Snow” Not surprising considering the circumstances really!

One of the women/girls who I was joking with in the station sat next to me once we’d finally got onto the bus and as we pulled away from the stand we grinned and waved at all the unfortunates who there wasn’t enough room for on our bus, we couldn’t feel too sorry for them as they hadn’t been waiting as long as us AND there was another one coming along any minute…I’m sure!!

So bring it on Mother Nature give it your best, you cant break my spirit! Give me frost bite in my toes maybe….but I’ll still be smiling when they all drop off…

…oh and for anyone catching the 559 tomorrow night or any other bus at the adjacent stands come to think about it, you bring blankets, I’ll bring the whiskey and the Trivial Pursuit, if it carries on snowing like this we may be there a while!

Look at some pretty pictures instead!!

The rest of them are at my flickr page, see my links section!

I have decided that living alone and being single ain’t all its cracked up to be. I’m bored I have no one to talk to, I have no one to watch telly with and no where to go.

70% of my friends are in relationships so can’t come out and play like they used to.

The remaining 30% live too far away.

90% of my friends are male and aren’t allowed out to play with me now I’m single, their girlfriends are fine if i have a boyfriend but apparently he/me/we cant be trusted if I’m single (fucking possessive morons).

Since I split up with my ex I have found out who my friends really are, It turns out that in reality I know lots of people, LOTS of people but actually dont have that many people I can say are friends anymore. I have countless numbers in my phone but very few people who I can actually call….

…That is a very sad state of affairs to be in!

…what a shame lets all stand and give the man who pissed his talent up the wall a minutes silence…

…

…Or maybe not!!

Now not to be disrespectful to the dead BUT the bloke knew what he was doing to himself, He’d been in and out of hospital for years. Everyone warned him what he was doing but he didn’t WANT to help himself and threw away a second chance at life in the form of a transplant, that SHOULD have gone to somone who would have appriciated and NOT abused it, so Mr Newsreader/Anchorman/Sports presenter now he is dead please let him, AND the rest of us RIP stop putting him on a pedestle that he doesn’t belong on!

I’m spending a ridiculous amount of time alone just recently so am watching more news coverage than I normally do, hence the reason I think I am being more vocal about the media than I am usually.!

Yesterday I went into Birmingham, nothing new there for me, spent the whole day drinking coffee wandering around and eating fish finger sandwiches and wearing MITTENS i have new green mittens and they are COOL. I REALLY REALLY wanted to go ice-skating on the open air ice-rink BUT nobody wants to go on with me or cant because of health reasons and its only fun if you have somone to giggle with on the way around and laugh at you whan you fall over!

I took some photos of the wheel all lit up in the dark and some scary ones of the spooky santa on the german market and some pretty ones of the lights on the helter skelter, I will endevour to post them onto flickr soon!

I’ve been stood up AGAIN…by my darling sister!!!

Tonight I was supposed to finish work at 3, meet her for coffee then go back to my moms for food and help her look for a PSP on the internet. I finished work to find a text message telling me to meet her at moms’ only she was running late. So I went to my moms and waited, and waited, and waited, finally I get a text message telling me she’s not coming as she’s going out with Toby (her boyfriend).

I’m a little upset to say the least, I’ve turned down invitations for tonight so that I could be here to help her as I’d promised to, and now she lets me down again! I missed out on coffee, I have yet to eat and now I have no plans for the evenning!!

THANKS EMMA!!!

BUT it would all be ok if it would only SNOW and snow LOTS.

The man on the telly promised it and its still NOT HERE, My uncle from up north has lots of snow and friends in random places have snow so WHERES MY SNOW!!! a foot deep and HUGE flakes to run around in like a child, throwing snowballs, building snowmen and making snowangels, I want it to snow and then I’m going to (time permitting) to phone EVERYONE to enjoy it with me!!!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!!!!
