I was offline for a couple of days last week while I painted my ceiling.  When I returned to cyberspace I had a message on Facebook from one of my uni housemates inviting me to her wedding on 30th May.  It was a bit of a suprise as I wasn't aware she was on Facebook!  It is also pretty short notice.  I received a text message from her last year ( Read more... )

In tonight's exciting installment of verucca watch I can reveal that I took the dressing off last night and the offending toe now looks awful. I'm hoping this is a sign that the treatment is working and not that my toe is about to fall off or something similar ( Read more... )

Today I went on a family tree related trip to Buckinghamshire with my parents. The idea was to have a wander round some of the villages in which my mum's ancesters lived back in the 19th Centuary. Sadly, the weather was not on our side ( Read more... )

Tuesday night is Brownie night so I have to stay on the bus for a few stops more than usual. The traffic almost ground to a halt on the way into town. Normally when this happens it's because of a problem at the airport or on the M3 which has had a knock on effect on local roads. Tonight was different. The Police had cordoned off the top end of ( Read more... )

My work colleagues have been let off. Two noticed my new glasses without any prompting.

Work itself has not been let off. I had such a busy day. I'd rather be busy than bored but I was really glad when it was time to go home. Even though it was half an hour later than planned ( Read more... )

Today is my 27th birthday. I'm trying not to get too depressed about the fact I'm waving goodbye to my mid twenties. All in all I've had a pretty good day. Lots of cards in the morning, cake and pressie at work, many texts and loads of attention on Facebook. Slighty disturbed by the fact that CB thought it was my 29th birthday but I will ( Read more... )

Each week a staff bulletin is produced by the marketing department of my workplace. The bulletin features useful information, such as the canteen menu for the week, alongside articles about things which are perceived to be of interest to people working for the organisation. Next week I am one of the featured articles. I was interviewed about my ( Read more... )

No sign of my exam results yesterday but my letterbox did contain a leaflet inviting me to the regional conference of the Jehovah's Witnesses. Maybe they pre-empted the misery I fear I will experience when my results finally do arrive. In fact I'm starting to worry slightly. That was the third leaflet I'd been given within the last month urging ( Read more... )

This evening I watched my first episode of Big Brother 8 since the opening night.  I hereby declare that I don't like any of the housemates.  Not a single, solitary one.  The atmosphere in the house at the moment reminds me of Guide Camp.  I didn't enjoy Guide Camp very much.  Way too many female hormones in circulation in too smaller an area.
