Can You Die of Boredom????

Hello readers,

Yes i know it's been a little while since i last blogged, but that's because of one reason and one reason alone....


I've done sod all!!!


Last weekend i went to Solihull with my mum as i had some vouchers left over from Christmas and i decided i wanted to treat myself. I had a £40 H&M Voucher and a £30 Marks & Spencer voucher. I bought some new undies from H&M and I spent £10 in M&S on wine and i gave the other £20 to my mum, so she could treat herself. Well that's face it, M&S aren't exactly for the younger generation!!!

We went back to mum's house and i stayed to see my nan and grandad for a bit before i went home, and did nothing. Kieron downloaded the first few episodes of a new programme which started on Sci-Fi called 'Heroes'. If you like sci-fi stuff then watch it, it is really, really good!

Then last week, was boring apart from on Wednesday at work the Partners treated us to a lunch out, so we went round the corner to Henry's which is a lovely little chinese restaurant. Then it's been boring from there on.

Boring, boring ,boring. The only thing that's keeping me amused is the book i'm reading 'Digital Fortress' by Dan Brown. I also have Deception Point to read and High Fidelity by Nick Hornby (which i have read once before, but it is a good book!).

Kieron bought Final Fantasy 12 on Friday just gone, which he is totally besotted with (bless!).

Hopefully my organ should be coming to the flat this weekend, which will relieve me of this boredom phase. I have waited long enough for the organ to be moved, but in all fairness it is massive and it's my grandad that has to move it as the top part needs to be unscrewed and unplugged from the base!!!

This is a picture of the organ i have. This not my actual organ just a picture of one i found on Google and as you can see it's a beasty!!! A Yamaha HS-8!!!

So my fellow bloggers i shall leave you there for now, i shall update you all when i have something better to talk about, but until then if you have any ideas of how to relieve me of such boredomness (if hat's a word!) then leave me a note!!!!

One Foot In The Snow!!!

Hello there dear readers,

Well another exciting week has passed by, the weeks seem to be zooming by, i don't like it!!

Anyway on with the blog, so .....

Last Wednesday evening, me, Rosey and Emily went on a Girly Drive. Rosey & Em picked me up at 8 and we went on our way. We went through our usual places like Solihull, Knowle and so forth and we had a great time, chatting about work and uni, and Emily plugged in her Zen so we had a girly sing-a-long as well!!

After about an hour Emily decided she was thirsty so we popped along to the Reservoir (after Rosey going in a massive circle to get back there!!!)

We all ordered desserts as we felt a bit peckish!Me and Rosey had chocoloate Bread & Butter pudding, which was devine and Emily had a treacle pudding, which she said was lovely but it looked rather sickly!!!

We had some drinks and played on one the games machines, it has many different mini games, first we played a word game (a bit like Boggle) and then we played spot the difference. We had a laugh and soon our glasses were empty so we decided to pop along to Tesco's grab some sweets and go and throw them at Dan (like me and Rosey had done the previous week!) We bought starbursts and Werthers Originals. I phoned dan to pre-warn him that we were on our way, and he was delighted when we arrived.

We sat in Dan's living room what had started as a little play flight with startbursts being thrown and caught turned into a massacre of demolition. There were sweets everywhere!!

We helped Dan clear up and made our way home as it was getting late. It was a good night out and i'm sure Rosey will be organising another one pretty shortly!!

Last Thursday, as i am sure you are all aware, it snowed. But not just a couple of cm's, this was a proper snowfall - 5 inches!!!!

Getting to work was a pain in the backside, at first i decided not to go in, but then i thought well i'll have a go, but if the traffic is really bad then i'm staying put!! So me & Kie left the flat, and he kindly dropped me off at my bus stop, after leaving the flat at 7.35 i made it into the office at 9.30 ( i knew i should have stayed at home!).

Getting back home wasn't too bad, i normally get back for 6.35 and i made it at 6.50!!

Ahhh Friday, at last the weekend was nearly upon us and this was the day the snow caught us out!!

At about 2pm Dave noticed that it had started to snow really badly so he decided to let us go at 4pm so that we could get out of the weather and get home. So i left the office dead on 4, got to the 50 bus stop at 4.15 and waited.......

and waited and waited and waited and waited!!!

The 50 is usually very good, it arrives every 5 mins, but not today!! It arrived at 4.50. I was soaking wet from standing out in the snow (the bus shelter was full!) but i didn't care at that point as i was on my way home......


WRONG!!!!!!!


It was terrible getting home, everyone was having trouble with their cars and vehicles, some people were sliding all over the place. Hats off to our bus driver, he kept our bus in control (thank God!). Moseley was the worst, i think we were stuck there for about 1 hour and 15mins.

So at 7.30 the bus was just arriving at the Maypole, i rang mum to let her know what had happened with the thought "just a little bit more and i'll be home....."


WRONG!!!

The bus stopped, and the driver told us that he had been instructed by Travel West Midlands that the service was closing down!!!!

ARGHHHHHH!!


I had to walk up Bells Lane, which from the Maypole to my flat is perhaps a bit over 2 miles (i'm not entirley sure!!). Gareth was about to take mum shopping (apparantly wythall and so forth was clear) and he told me he had to put some petrol in his car but when he had done that he would come and get me (Awww thanks Gaz!). Gaz told me to try ringing Kieron, so that if he got held up at the garage Kie had a chance of getting me out of the cold!

I eventually got hold of Kie who siad he would come and get me. I didn't do too badly getting up Bells Lane but finallyKie arrived. Just as i got in the van Gaz rang me to see where i was, so i told him to carry on to Tesco's.

I eventually got home and it was 8pm. I was a little bit miffed but at least i was warm again - stupid bloody weather!!!

Saturday Kieron wanted to go to Town to look for some new games, so off we went. We were only there an 1 hour, he didn't see anything interesting so we came home. Nan & grandad popped up for a bit, and so did mum.

Me and Kieron had been invited round to Steve & Natalie's house, so we arrived at about 6pm, Steve's brother Andy and his girlfriend were there too. We had a lovely evening, filled with booze, food, music and card games, but it was almost 1.30am before we left!!!

I was very tired, we dropped Andy and Becky home as they had got a taxi before, and i finally got into bed at 1.50am!!

Sunday, was a lazy day, went to Tesco's to do the shopping and then sat and watched TV. Then finally i went to my nans for tea.


It's nearly the weekend again and i've decided i'm goign to have a quiet one (unless i get bored!)

See you soon peeps

:)

Another One Gets The Bug!

Hello there readers

Well then, not alot has happened this past week (i can't always be exciting!!!)

Tuesday evening Me and Rosey went out for another one of our Girly drives, its just great to go out to random places and talk to your hearts content (although i naturally do that anyway!). Rosey filled her car up with Petrol, as i sat and helped her with one of her Suduko puzzles and bought some Starbursts (which made us go very hyper!!) So we set off on our journey, and to be honest i wasn't paying any attention to where we were, although i do remember going on this really long straight road which lead us back to Dan's house, and we passed a garage could mini-man(a -i'm sure you can guess what he does and b- no he's not a mini person!) Rosey let off some steam about her stupid tutors at Uni and i was talking about general work and so forth.

During the evening we dropped by at Dans House (where i threw a purple Starburst at him!) and we sat and had a natter in the kitchen for 5mins before heading off to Maccy D's to get Hot Chocolate - yummy!!!

After collecting our goodies, Rosey dropped me back at home! I had a great night so we planned another one!! (which is tomorrow and Emily is joining us!!!)

Thursday was a very busy day at work , it was Audit day *plays dramatic music* It was a very busy and stressful day for all of us but mainly for Peter, Paul and Myself. Peter and Paul are in charge of the system we use so if it doesn't work then it's their fault, however this time round the Audit man (who is another Peter!) was picking up on the filling system(which is my area of expertise!!!!) However, it went fairly well and by the end of the day the Audit man still seemed impressed. Although the next one is in November - BOOOO!!!

Friday was a nice relaxing day. Most people were out of the office and the phones were nice and quiet, which i think was well deserved!!! Also Peter had an email come through from the Audit man telling us we had passed - how delightful!!

That evening me and kieron sat in with a couple bottles of wine and we sat and watched the new series of smallville (which kieron is downloading as its not actually out in the UK yet!!)

Saturday was a great day - It was time for Kieron's first ever Ski lesson!!! We got to mum's house for about 9.50 and Gaz was all set to go. We dived into his car and off we went. We arrived at the Snowdome at about 10.35, so we went in and got Kieron ready for his 11am lesson. After Kie had gone into his lesson me and Gaz finally got ourselves ready, i got some blades and Gaz was on skis. We had a great 2 hours although it was very busy and the snow wasn't that great, it was very iccy which meant my blades were flapping all over the place. We had one fall each, but nothing major. We watched Kieron as we went up the lift to get to the top of the slope - and to be honest we were very impressed!!!

After our 2hr session, we met Kieron at the bottom of the slope where he had just fallen over for the first time. One of his skis got stuck into a pile of snow and he went over - Bless!!

We all had a great time, and decided to continue the fun by stopping at a local pub for a bite to eat and drink. I had pasta with a creamy sauce and tomatos, bacon and oninons diced in it. Kieron and Gaz both had Steak, which they polished off nicely!!!

Later that evening. About 7.30 Gaz and Adam came round the flat, which Adam had never seen and i think he was impressed. We sat watching a couple of episodes of Smallville for abit and then headed off to Stirchley bowl (as Rubery was packed!!) We arrived at about 8.15 and the next lane was at 9 so we decided to waste the time in the arcade, we played a bit of pool, kieron and Adam played a couple of shoot 'em up's and not too minutes later our lane was ready. We scrambled around for some bowling balls as there were hardly any and Kieron, Gaz and Adam struggled to fit their fingers into the balls as the holes weren't big enough.

We played 2 games (i came 2nd and 3rd) and we decided to head back to the flat, where we put on the Wii. We created Adam a little character and away he was playing on Wii Sports until GAz decided to freak him out with Warioware. About 1am Gaz and Adam left and i dived into bed as i was knackered!!!

Sunday we went and did our shopping as we couldn't do it Saturday, we quickly popped into Kie's mum and dad's to see them and Tony lent us some DVD's. Later me and Kie went round to my mums for Sunday Dinner, she had done Pork chops with roasties, veg and gravy - it was fab!! We had a chat and a sit down after and then decided to head back home.

Kieron played on Chrome hounds for a bit and then we decided to watch the last downloaded episode of Smallville we had got. Still being fairly bored Kieron had a look at the DVD's his dad had lent him - and he decided we would watch White Noise: The Light (which is really not my kinda film!!). Being the brave person i am, i watched the film and it wasn't to bad. It was a really good story so if you're bored one evening go out and rent it!!

Well i think i'm about up-to-date with everything at the moment, so i will leave it there!!
