Just Me!! The Butterfly effect

This first bit is for Landers & Brad and Jake & Sarah, I am a 70!!!!! Got my flying mount and everything

Right now the important bit is over

I had quite a good day yesterday, my bartering skills were at full tilt and I managed to get my Son the bargain of the month, he has been looking for a preowned psp for his son for his birthday, money is a bit tight and most preowneds come with memory card and game. We had gone last friday to Game because they had advertised a psp with game for under a £100.00, except of course when we got there the deal had changed (in less than half an hour mind?) he could have a psp lite with no game and no memory card ( the guys actual words were 'if there is one in there then you have one if not you dont, good customer service or what!?) We decided not to get it as they wanted £115.00 just for the console!

So yesterday I went for a wander on my own ( I know I am getting daring

I wandered into this shop we have locally called cash converters, I was looking for something that I didnt find However what I did find was a psp with four games and memory card for only £109.99 now it was just the standard one and it was black, so after asking if they had white (Gold dust apparently in the standard one) I bartered with him and in the end came away with a psp lite in white, with five games and a 1mg memory card, for the same price Am I on form or what?

And I got a free teddy bear from another shop for spending too much money over ten pounds

Quite a positive day for me then.

Anyway now I have to go and get ready for work.

Have a great day

A visitor to a lunatic asylum asks the head doctor how they decide who are the sanest and who should stay or go.

"well" says the doctor "We fill a bath with cold water and give the patient a choice of thimble, spoon or bucket to empty it"

"Ah, I see, so a sane person would choose the bucket as this would empty it faster?"

Erm Actually,.............................................. a sane person would pull the plug out, where would you like your bed, near the window?"

Everyone seems a bit down and fretful lately, and we haven't had much of a summer so far (she says as she watches the rain bounce off the sidewalk) so Landers and I have come up with a little plan to try to help boost morale and make people smile (we hope)

We have set up a Summer Writing Compettion. Short stories of no more than 300 words, they can be about anything but must contain the phrase 'a sunset on the beach'

To enter the competition you go here http://writingforfun.blog.co.uk

Rules and other bits of info including prizes is there.

Pop along and have a look and remember this is all for fun, and I hope that many of you will join in as you do with Secret Santa and the Bloscars.

It has been raining most of the night, again, and it looks like it is set in for the day too, I wonder if we will actually get a summer?

It is wednesday, the middle of the week and only two days from my day off, which does mean I have to work saturday but that doesn't bother me at all. I am looking forward to having a day off this week because the day I am having is pay day!!!

We have been paid the six months back pay that we were promised though once the tax man etc had taken their bite there was not much left of it, still it does mean that I have a little extra money that will hopefully pay for a couple of things that I need like my passport, and maybe give me some money in the bank for a change. Still have things to pay out, and I have to live and eat etc, though dont qoute me on that one

The year seems to be flying past, it is almost the end of June, where is the time going?

I need to be making decisions about my next course for my study, though maybe now is not the best time, we will see.

Anyway off to make myself look something like presentable for the day, have to make a good impression on the newbies

Just a quick post to say good morning, running a little late this morning as I was trying to do so many things at once and I have the new starter today so I have to concentrate on that as well.

I will be back after work to visit awhile.

Have a great day and dont work too hard

My lovely friend Landers was good enough to let you all know that the beginning of my blogging sabbatacle was due to a family emergency (Before the almighty cock ups by BT!!)

I never got a chance to thank you all for the lovely messages he passed on to me, and which thankfully I was able to pass on to the family member when we finally got a chance to talk to her again, something we didnt think we were going to be able to do, ever again. It was very much a battle against time and all that, what with repirators and heart monitors and so on and so forth, scary things when you see them shallowing out I can tell you.

Scarier I think because this was no aged and wise aunt that was lying there having lived her life and seen many things and in so doing experienced many things.

No this was a 21 year old who has seen nothing and experienced little, I am not going to go into the details too much, suffice it to say that she is now up and about and trying very hard to be strong and pick up the pieces and start all over again. At 21 you should be out having fun not having to visit clinics and take medication because you failed in trying to opt out of life.

Many people laugh at me when I say that what is meant is meant and that fate will intervene when it isn't time for things to happen, well it intervened this time and when I think the time is right I will tell you how.

Right now, thank you for being there, it was a tough time for all concerned and knowing people are rooting for you is a very big help.

Good Morning to all.

I had it planned to write this long and boring blog about all the stuff that has been happening over the past weeks, but, apart from the fact that I wish to keep the little credibility that I possess, and dont want to bore everyone to death, I decided that it doesn't really matter, the stuff that has happened that is.

Crap happens we get through it and then it becomes past crap, and that is where it is going to stay, in the past, I cant change it by moaning about it or dwelling on it.

So apart from the fact that I miss Molly, my life is getting on track, sort of, I take up my driving lessons at the end of this month and hopefully will have passed my test by the end of the year (dont hold your breath on that one though ) and I may just manage to save enough to do the November meet

No new job yet, but, that does not mean I am not still looking and you never know what is around the corner.

I have not yet managed to catch up on everyones blog, I worked this weekend and had numerous other things on the go, like a uni assignment, but I am sure that I will be able to eventually get around to visiting everyone and saying hi.

Right now I have to go and wash my hair and various other boring things, to prepare for the day ahead.

Catch you later, have a good day and all that.

Ahhhh its good to be back

Sssshhhhhhh *whispers* My broadband is up and running, but I dont want to say it too loud just in case those gremlins are hanging around still

OK enough of that, Yes I am back, and ready to pester the life out of you all again. Be prepared (after the eviction of course) to be brought up to date with the happenings of the past few weeks, though I have to warn anyone with a low boredom threshold that they should go find something more interesting to do

Back in a little while

Due to several almighty blunders by BT I have been offline for um, quite a while now. The good news is that I am due to be reconnected on Friday the 13th (Yes I know that I said the 5th Paddy, but BT sort of messed that up!) anyway, fingers and toes and anything else that can be crossed needs crossing because this is now the fourth reconnection date!

And how is everyone?

I feel like I have gotten so out of touch with everything that is going on here, oh! What if you dont remember who I am?!

Anyway a trip to the library was in order to let you know that I have not forgotten you, deserted you or married a millionair and run off into the sunset

I will see you soon (I hope) so be good
