swimming

I did 30 lengths today...and I been swimming 3 times this week!
I did 10 lengths fromnt crawl, ten lengths backs stroke, and ten lengths breast stroke, and thats an achievement for me, cos I'm crap at breast stroke, and I hates it so I does!

It doesn't look like I'm going out with Sarah on friday night after all. The guy she was supposed to be meeting got in a big strop about it all...basically, he was ok about me going until Sarah told him that she was taking me because she wanted to sleep with me (this was a ploy to stop him trying to sleep with her, she doesn't really want to sleep with me...I don't think). Then he got in a really big hissy fit, started being really nasty and claiming that she was fucking with his head, and that she knew that it was supposed to be a date between them and all this crap..She has no idea what he's on. She knows he fancies her, but they are like best mates, and as far as she was concerned that was all. This has kinda thrown her off balance a bit, cos now she doesn't know whether he was mates with her because he wanted to be mates, or because he thought he'd have a chance at sleeping with her if he was mates with her first. I have never met this guy, but I'm going off him very rapidly. I think i's a case of bruised ego, but he's now not speaking to her, and she's understandable upset about it, so it looks like friday night is off. I'm not bothered either way, just wish men weren't so damned weird lol.
Anna was quite nice today. to be honest she's growing on me a little, I feel kinda sorry for her cos she's a bit weird and that, and I don't think she really understands how she's alienating the entire team. That doesn't mean I'm like her best mate or anything...she has applied for a temporary promotion and we're all praying she gets it!
Haven't heard from Pete since last night, he's not replying to my texts, but that could be because he has no credit. Actually, no, he has 1000 texts that he bought the other week...he's just not speaking to me...hmmm. I can't ring him, my phone bill was nealy 50 quid last month...bastards

stuff

Sooo, I feel like I should write something, but I don't know what.

Whats been going on in my life recently?

Well, some of my friends obviously don't give a bugger. Most of em do, but well I'm fed up of being told of for not making an effort, then when I text em to invite em out, and ring em, they don't reply or answer their phones. Is not just once either..is every week.

Work, yeahh work is good. I'm 20 hours up on my flexi time now, which means sometime I'll be able to take a couple of days off...Woo! And I'm really getting into it now, learning new stuff and all that. I'm enjoying it.
Apart from the Anna situation. She's a pain in the arse, a bitchy, sarky, two faced pain in the arse, and she has no sense of respect for anyone and appears to think that insulting everyone in the team is just 'harmless banter'...bloody offensive harmless banter. I'm learning to ignore her, but sometime she gets to me. And then there is Kirsty who sits next to me, and is constantly bitching about Anna, and pulling faces at her behind her monitor...it seems the sole topic of conversation at the moment with Kirsty is how nasty Anna is. It's driving me mad..between Anna's insults, and Kirsty's bitching I'm slowly going insane. I mean don't get me wrong, I bitch about Anna too, but not to the same extent, and not to the point where it's getting dangerously obvious to Anna herself, and making the atmosphere virtually unbearable. I have noticed that after Jirsty goes home, the atmosphere is a lot better, and after Anna goes it's lovely. I think they should be at opposite ends of the desks. Ahh but what can I do about it? Very little other than banging their heads together and telling em to shut the fuck up.
On the plus side, me and Sarah are getting along very well. She's lovely, and I reckon we're gonna be really good friends. I may be going to be her chaperone o friday night when she goes out with a friend of hers that keeps trying to sleep with her. LOL, it could be interesting, cos I'm gonna have to stay at hers the night, and then we're going shopping on the saturday, and the kray on saturday night.
I have a rooster concert on october 15th.
Yeah, and I'm going to see James Blunt on 24th of feb.

And oh yeah, I nearly forgot (not) BON JOVI on 4th June!!!!!!

Winning

Today I won a prize. It was for a colouring competition that we had in work yesterday...yes, we are all big kids. I won a bottle of wine.

Running

Well done to my bezzy mate Chris, who succesfully ran the Great North Run yesterday! I know it's taken a lot of training and determination. Nice one darlin I'm proud of you xxx Next step the London Marathon!

David Blunt

Soooo, I bought the CD. And I have to say, it's amazing, I haven't found a song on it I dislike. Think it's gonna be an album I listen to on repeat for a few weeks.
Oh and I bought a plant for my desk.
It's a Dizigothica. I liked the name heheheh. It's only ickle at the moment but hopefully it will grow big and screen me from the poisoned dwarf that sits opposite me.

Drunken Shenanigans

Soooo, I went out with pete last night and got very drunk.
We went to Modo first, and laughed at the girls in the shorts...I dunno what the thing is with those at the moment.
Then we went to the Krazy house.
I met Katey in there, and Pete wandered off with Erin and stole some peoples noses. Don't ask.
So I ended up snogging Katey again. She is a very sexy lady.
And then Pete came back after Erin went home, and he snogged Katey too, and there we were all snogging eachother and being very drunk. It was a weird night.
I stayed at Pete's, and we were rudely awakened by the Gas man at the ungodly hour of 12pm lol.
It was a good night, but I did have a hangover when I woke up. I'm getting to old for it now heh

Weddings

It was wonderful. Caroline looked gorgeous, radiant and beautiful. Her dress was lovely and when I have my pics sorted I'll put some up to show you. My brother was nervous and emotional, but he looked so happy.
The reading went well, better than I expected, which was good. I feel I didn't let my brother and Caroline down on the day which was all I was worried about. When it came to the reception, the meal was lovely, and I was sitting with my cousin Heather and her husband Paul and we had a good old chat, about all sorts of things including our diabetes, my slight gayness and tongue piercings, oh and weddings, there was a lot of wedding talk. Then came the speeches, Father of the bride, then The Groom's speech, and I am not ashamed to say I cried when my brother did his speech, he was emotionall and shaking, my mum was in tears, Caroline was in tears, and most of the bridesmaids too. It was very touching heh.
The evening do was good, the disco man played good dancy songs and got everyone up and on the dancefloor. Unfortunately the drinks at the hotel bar were extortionately expensive...we're talking £15 for two whiskey and cokes! so after the first dance bit, my dad snuck off to the local off licence and smuggled in a half of whiskey and two halfs of vodka so we only needed to buy soft drinks...they were expensive enough but it worked out ok. Id did mean I got a bit drunker then I would normally have done lol...by the end of the night I was teary and emotional again, and had to hug everyone I could lay my hands on, including all of the ushers, the two best men, all the bridesmaids, the girls from Chris's work who I'd been dancing with, various members of both families and a couple of friends of the family who had turned up. Some of them got more than one hug, and chris got a hug every time he went past, and so did Caroline.
It was a lovely day, a brilliant night and I think everyone enjoyed themselves immensely, including the gatecrashers that appeared who were staying in the hotel for a 50th birthday weekend lol. I am so happy for Chris and Caroline, they have gone off to Italy now for two weeks in a quiet little villa, and I wish them every happiness. My brother is a very lucky man, because Caroline is a special lady, and Caroline is a very lucky woman because my brother is the kindest, loveliest guy I know. And I'm not just saying that because he's my brother, it's a well known fact...all the girls at his work and everyone I meet that knows him agrees with me.

up and down and up and down and up and down and up and down and up and down....

So yeah, depressed last night, better ish this morning, then happier, then sad again, I don't know where my heads at this week.
Looking forward to the wedding tomorrow, but I think Chris is getting a bit nervous now, as you would. I will let you know how it goes...

Happy Fucking Birthday

My head hurts, my ears hurt, my eyeballs ache, my mind hurts, my heart hurts and my soul hurts. I'm not having a great day. Birthday blues I guess.

the cure for hiccups

The cure for hiccups....Lots of sex.

Well have you ever had hiccups when you're having sex?

Strange days

So, I did bollocks all today except a bit of tidying up and some card making for Joey's birthday. Then I went for a drink with Pete. Soooo right most of ye will probably think I am mad, and that it's all gonna end in tears, but well we kinda got back into a relationship of sorts. It's not a serious one, just as Pete put it...'best friends that kiss and stuff'. And he said I'm free to go out and do stuff with women if I want, but he'd rather I didn't do it with men, which is fair enough cos I don't want to do anything with men at the moment and if that changes I'll tell him so. He is also free to go and do stuff with whoever he wants.
Ack I can feel the disapproval and concern radiating towards me even as I'm writing. I am probably being very selfish, but it's kinda comforting too. It remains to be seen how it goes from here. Some open relationships go ok, or so I have heard.

Blindness and Lesbians

Well not quite lesbians, went to The Krazy House last night, got very drunk and snogged a couple of girls, Katey, who I have met before and snogged, she's lovely, and Sarah who I work with and have had some great conversations with! They are both very sexy ladies.
And then today I went to the opticians and he told me that I need laser treatment on my eyes again. :-(

stuff

Well haven't blogged for a bit, basically, I've been feeling a bit better, work is going well, I met a friend of mine that I didn't know worked there, Sarah Wycherley who I went to school with. I haven't seen her for years.
Also I'm going to the Krazy House with a girl from work tomorrow. Should be fun
