    Under my desk is my sanctuary

    I'm so tired!!!  Date on Friday night, working for dad all day Saturday, party Saturday night, meet old uni chum for Sunday lunch and then end up getting totally smashed with the Essex Young Farmers.  It was random as you like.  I did get a wrist band attached to me and I was going to be smuggled into the ERC but I realised I was really rather, er, off my trolley and strolled (wobbled) home before the situation became more dire...  Needless to say today I feel awful!  It was a brilliant day though - one of those that you couldn't plan for if you tried. 
     
    Now, however, I need to crawl back under my desk.

    100 reasons to not do what I need to do

    I've bought some work home to do (I can't say I did a huge amount today so figured I ought to do some at home) and now I'm finding a hundred reasons to do something else. 
     
    100 reasons to not do what I need to do:
     
    1.  I have to write a blog obviously.  Or else, um, cyberspace will, er, crash.
    2.  There's this really good book I've just rediscovered on my shelves and I think I need to read it immediately.
    3.  I ought to ring my mum really and see how her decorating has gone
    4.  My flowers have died so perhaps I should go to the shops and replace them.  After all it was my new years pledge and I would just be letting myself down if I don't...
    5.  I have to sort out copying files on my PC so that I don't lose them when I get a new one (hopefully this weekend)
    6.  I have to sort out a returns package for Next Directory because the t-shirts were too big
    7.  Um.  It's such a beautiful evening maybe I should go for a walk while it's not raining?
    8.  I ought to have some dinner now
    9.  Ok I'm bored of this now.
    10-100: erm, I have to pick up, er, 90 pins that I'm about to drop.
     
    I can't believe it's Thursday already.  Where has the week gone?  I got some photos back from the night out Sam, Mai and I had at Easter and some pics from speeddating.  I've stuck them up on Facebook but will also put them on my MySpace.  Very very funny evenings.  Needless to say I didn't find love at speeddating and the search goes on.  But that's fine because the summer's on it's way and Torquay is a haven for buff men.  Actually, hang on, they're generally holiday makers.  Hmmmm.  Maybe not then.  One suspects my boat has sailed!  Well, I always wanted a cat anyways!
     
    Ah crap, I've got cramp in my foot.  Gotta go xx

    Insomnia Sucks

    Insomnia sucks.

    But on the plus side I've decided to buy a new computer tower on Saturday courtesy of Egg Card.  Best I find out what my pin number is... If you're feeling even the tiniest bit glum, go buy something expensive.

    Does anyone have a saw I could borrow pls??

    Hello fabulous friends!  Does anyone have a saw I can borrow please?   I dismantled a shelf unit on Saturday and smuggled most of the wood in the bins but have some long wood I need to chop up before I can dispose of it.  I could take it on the bus to the tip in Paignton but...  Someone, anyone?!

    Writing a book is a better option right now...

    It is.  It's dull.  And I'm bored of it now.  I've got a whole heap of stuff to chuck out though which is quite satisfying!  But haven't really gotten anywhere which isn't too good.  Maybe I'll just write a book instead.  That's gotta be better than hoovering - although polish smells good.  A new favourite smell perhaps?

    Random Fact

    A typical woman can speak up to 24,000 words a day compared to a man who usually manages 7000 to 10,000 words.
     
    It says it in Take A Break Magazine (11/01/07 edition) so it MUST be true!  Haha!
     
    p.s. It was a hand me down, I don't buy Take A Break.  In case you were worried for me for a moment there.

    A girl can fantasise right?

    Ach it must be nearly the end of the week already surely?  I’d quite like to pack a bag and have a few days break.  Maybe just go somewhere and just sleep?  Hmmm that sounds good.  Go down the coast a bit book into a b&b, no, hang on, this is a daydream I can be wild and extravagant.  Ok, book into a five star hotel.  I’d go for a sauna and spa and swim.  Then have a snooze.  Obviously this hotel will have a wonderful view of the sea – or even of Dartmoor, I don’t care so long as it’s remote.  I can sit in the summerhouse (because it’ll have one of those) which will be warm because the weather is sunny) and just relax.  I think that George (I’ve gotten to know one of the staff already) arrives on cue with a tray of tea and crumpets followed by a telegram that arrived for me at reception (I’ve always wanted a telegram).  It states that my landlord has decided that on my return to Torquay he wants to offer me an upgrade to a new luxury flat with no increase in rent.  After tea I go for a walk in the woods (which conveniently happen to be there) and then dress for dinner – after bouncing on the bed simply because I can.  Oh yes, and the wardrobes have been stocked with fantastic clothes handpicked for me.  And I’m allowed to keep them.  Hmmm what else?  The bar is all-inclusive and there are bowls of Cadbury Crème Eggs on every table.  And the cellar has a doorway which links directly to a Metro station in Barcelona.  Now I’m just getting carried away…

     

    So maybe with a long weekend coming up I should put some of that into practise!  Although the brain can’t distinguish between an elaborate fantasy and actual reality so I could just daydream some more.  I think that’s slightly more affordable.

    When did it all get so complicated!

    I seem to have a stupid amount of profiles online and it’s all getting a bit complicated so I've decided to sort it all out.  Right, I havea profile on MySpace, where I blog often, a Bebo Profile and now a Facebook profile.  I was 'Tagged' today so that's ANOTHER profile.  I'm on MsnSpaces (well, obviously) but also have a Friends Reunited profile.  It's all getting a bit much.  Sooooooooooooooo I've decided that my images are generally going to be on Facebook or MySpace (or both depending if I can be bothered) and I'll probably blog on MySpace and import the RSS link to here.  I'm likely to close down my Bebo account as I've not looked at it for ages.  Oh and Faceparty.com too!  I'd forgotten that one!  I think that one can be shut down as well! 
     
    Oh my god, when did it get so complicated?! 
     
    So if you want to see images etc come and find me on Facebook or MySpace (links on main page).
