I Don't Want To Be A Huffle-Puff!

Hello there, time for my weekly blog and all starts (as usual) last Monday.

Work was a bit hectic, Dave Aspinall was now away on holiday for 3 weeks so that will be causing us some problems in the near future.

I spent my day doing some filling and general running around for everybody. I was a little fed-up by the end of the day because there had been a few problems due to lack of proper functioning machinery and i had taken some grief for it which i wasn't too happy about.

When i got home Kieron was watching some tv and suggested getting a takeaway as he had had a busy day aswell and didn't really fancy cooking.

So we went down to the chinese and got our food, came back and decided to watch Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. After that we watched skins and then went to bed.

Tuesday was another fairly busy day at work, i was mainly upstairs with the lads as i was printing off and copying drawings for them.

In my lunch hour i decided to take a walk into town as i decided that i wanted to read book 6 of Harry Potter (the Half Blood Prince). You see when the films started coming out i really enjoyed them and had never read any of the books, so my dear friend Rosey lent me the first couple.

When i got home, i suddenly remembered that i still had book 4 (Goblet of Fire) of Harry Potter and i decided that i wanted to read them in order, so i started to read that instead. After reading the first chapter i noticed that Kieron was also reading a book so i looked up and there he was reading book 6 which i had just bought.

So we spent the evening reading and if you have never read a Harry Potter book than i strongly suggest you do because they are really good books. Also some of the things that happen in the films aren't necessarily what J.K. Rowling originally wrote.

Wednesday work had suddenly gone quiet so i was trying to find things to do for most of the day. In the afternoon Harley came in to see if he could get the scanner up and running but still couldn't.

When i got home Kieron was doing tea so i did some washing up. We both then carried on reading before we went to bed.

Thursday work was still quiet although i had to start some planning applications. Even though it was quiet the day flew by fairly quickly.

I walked to the 50 bus stop and saw that the 50 that was waiting was a brand new bus! They are red and white on the outside and on the inside they're blue. They feel more like a coach than a bus but they're very nice.

I got home and told Kieron about the new buses and he seemed very unimpressed by the news (although he doesn't have to get a bus to work everyday!).

Friday ahh at last Friday was once again upon us. My day at work was very uneventful and dull although there wasn't many people in the office (which was good!).

That evening i met up with Emily, Jim and Rosey as i haven't seen them for ages. Rosey picked up at 8pm and we set off for the Reservoir, where Emily and Jim were already there!

We all had a nice chat and a catch up, around 10pm Dan arrived, he had been at Scouts and decided to come and join us.

We stayed there about another hour, before heading off home. Dan showed me the new Mondeo, they're very nice they have a 'start' button which for some reason i find very exciting!

When i got home Kieron had also arrived back as he had been to Steve's. We got in and went straight to bed.

Saturday i got up and put our new nets up in the bedroom. I then did some tidying up before going to see mum, nan and grandad.

We had the ususal glass of wine and sat around having a chat and setting the world to right. Nan and Grandad left about 4pm, and me, mum and Gareth decided to go and have a look at carpets. Mum's living room carpet is really old and she had saved for something better. So we dived into my car and set off to Kidderminster Crpets (which is in rubry).

We had a look round and took the piss out of the nasty looking ones until mum found one that she and Gareth liked. She called one of salesmen over (by shouting Coo-eey at the top of her voice - highly embarassing) and got the price. She liked it and paid for it so it should be coming within the next week.

I dropped them both back home and went back to the flat to find Kieron fast asleep on the sofa. So i prodded him to wake him up as we were going to Steve and Natalie's.

When we got there we were all feeling hungry so we went and got a K.F.C. Came back and scoffed it all and then sat down and watched Knocked Up. After the film it was getting late so me and Kieron went home.

Sunday we got up and decided to get the shopping out of the way. When we got back we had some lunch and then Kieron went round to his mates (Jim) house as he had recently come back from Wales.

Whilst Kieron was out i caught up on Eastenders and carried on reading my book. When Kieron came back we looked at the cinema times for Jumper and there was one in 30 minutes so we got shoes on and over to Rubry (again).

The film is ok, they could have done it alot better. Its about this lad who can jump through to different locations and placed whenever he wants but there is actually a war on between the jumpers and people who try and stop them called Paladins. This isn't very explained in the film and this is whre they could have made it alot mre interesting - but it was something to do.

When we got home Kieron watched some Dragonball Z episodes whilst copying some for Gareth adn i carried on reading my book.

A bit later i went down to nans as usual for some tea and to be delighted to find my little cousin Rachel was there. She was doing some drawings of Easter Chicks to send to people and my brother helped her out.

And that's it really so cheerio!

Silly Information Leads To Silly Results

Hello there viewers and welcome back for my weekly blog.

So last Monday work was quite busy, the phones wouldn't stop ringing and i had quite a lot to do, but it was good because my day went by fairly quickly.

In the evening i sat and watched tv while Kieron was playing Fable on his Xbox. He came in about 9pm and we carried on watching the boring telly.

Tuesday work had slowed down which meant i was very bored for most of the day. I also had a blonde moment (although it wasn't because i'm stupid it's because i wasn't given the correct information!).

Basically Dave at work drinks herbal tea, now in the afternoon i started making the drinks and noticed that Dave had run out of his herbal teas, so i asked him what he wanted instead. He replied he would have a drop of milk.

Now what does that mean to you eh?

Well what i did was i got a glass and poured some milk into it and put it on his desk, carried on making the other drinks and took them upstairs.

When i came back downstairs Dave came up to me and said "no that's not what i meant, i meant i would have a normal cup of tea with a drop of milk in it" and then he started laughing at me!!

HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW!!!!

He didn't say that, he just said a drop of milk, i mean really!? Anyway he decided to drink the milk in the end, and everyone was happy(ish!)

I got home and Kieron had made a spag bol - ahhh just what i needed. I watched the crappy tv again for the evening, whilest Kieron played on his Xbox.

Wednesday work was still slow, there weren't that many people in the office which made the day even more slower than usual! I did have some bits and bobs to do in the afternoon but i couldn't wait to get home.

Me and Kieron watched Torchwood, which is getting really good now, next week Martha (from Doctor Who) appears in it so that should be good!

Thursday was a pain in the arse day as it was Valentines day. I don't mind Valentines day but what i do mind is all the stupid shops selling all the crappy shit at expensive prices its just not necessary. But moving on from that, work was slightly busier which was good.

When i got home in the evening Kieron had bought me a chocolate heart from Thorntons (awww!) we had some tea and then went to Blockbusters to see if there were any dvd we wanted to watch. Kieron got Die Hard 4.0 on blue-ray and i bought Transformers and Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix.

Now i know what you're probably thinking, you're thinking how come i've only just brought Transformers on dvd. Or you're thinking why not buy it on blue-ray. Well i can answer these questions for you. Me and Kieron decided to wait to buy Transformers on blue-ray, but we found out shockingly last week that Paramount Pictures are boycotting blue-ray (lord only know why!?) so any film made by Paramount will never be released on blue-ray. So there i hope that answers your questions.

When we got home we decided to watch Die Hard, which is a really good movie and Bruce Willis is a legend.

Friday work was extremley slow until it got to lunch time and then it decided to speed up. Derek Burton was in the office in the afternoon so i was doing some work for him.

I got home and had to get ready as we were going out for a meal with Steve and Natalie. Kieron very nicely drove, so we picked up Steve and Natalie for about 7.15pm and off we went. We decided to go to TGI Friday's just for the laugh.

We got to our table and ordered some drinks whilst we were trying to decide on what to have for a starter.

In the finish i had potatoe skins for starter and steak and chicken fajitas for main. Kieron had chicken wings for start and 1/2 a rack of ribs for main. Steve had the same as Kieron and Natalie had tomato bruschetta for starter and the same as me for main.

The food is lovely although the prices are a little high for what they are but nonetheless we had a fab night and a really good laugh.

Steve and Natalie came back to ours for a bit, we decided to watch Superbad as Natalie really wanted to see it. After the film Natalie ordered a taxi back home and me and Kieron went to bed.

Saturday morning i tidied up the kitchen a little before going down to mums. Nan and Grandad had changed their car, they had a Skoda Fabia estate but have changed it to a normal Fabia because for some strange reason nan didn't like the other one.

We had our little glass of wine and cake and a natter. Afterwards me, mum and Gaz went over to Shed City, i needed to go to Argos to get a phone as we now have a landline, and Gaz needed to go to Halfords to get some bits and pieces for his car.

I dropped mum and Gaz home and went back to the flat. Me and Kieron weren't doing anything that evening as we had already seen Steve and Natalie so we invited Gaz round. He came up so he could have a look at Mario & Sonic at the Olympics which he bought me for Christmas but hadn't actually seen it.

Its not an easy game really most of the sports are quite hard to complete (as Gaz soon found out). After we played on the Wii untill our arms were about to drop off, Kieron showed Gaz a new Dragonball Z game that was coming out.

We had a really nice evening and Gaz called it a night about 12.30am.

Sunday me and Kieron got some washing done although i didn't feel particualr brilliant, we then went to Sainsbury's to do our shopping. We came back and started doing Sunday dinner, we had a nice joint of lamb which Kieron cooked beautifully.

After dinner Kieron played on his xbox a bit before joining me in the living room. We decided to watch Transformers as there was nothing on the telly.

After the film i went down to nans as usual but still didn't feel to well when my IBS decided to really kick in. I managed to stay at nans for just over an hour but had to go back home to get my medicine.

I got my hot water bottle and lay on the sofa whilst Kieron made me a cup of tea!


So i think that's about it for now so cheerio!

Just Switch Off and On Again!

Hello there peeps and once again i'm back with my update.

So last Monday work was ok, i got through the day by dealing with lots and lots and lots of problems. So i was feeling quite stressed when i left work in the evening.

In the evening me, Kieron, Mum and Gaz took Nanny Evans out for a meal for her birthday. We all didn't know what to buy her so thought that the meal was a much better idea and she was thrilled to go out. We took her to the Hollybush where we have been many times before. Me and mum got some drinks in whilst everyone was trying to decide what to have.

In the finish mum and nan had gammon, Gaz had Scampi, Kieron had a curry and i had steak, all of which was very nice. We had a good chat and a laugh whilst we were there. After we had finished dessert it was getting quite late so we decided to call it a night. Me and Kieron dropped nan home and went back to the flat. We sat and watched a bit of tv before going to bed.

Tuesday Harley the I.T guy came over to help us sort out our new photocopiers. The day was filled by doing some filling.

Tuesday evening me and Kieron sat down and watched the first episode of Lost series 4, we are once again slowly downloading the series as we don't get Sky One!

Wednesday work was busy i had lots to do in the day so my day went fairly quickly. We were still ahving a few problems with the photocopiers but nothing too serious. I also had to learn how to change some of the toners and drum cartridges in the photocopier down stairs but it was all straight forward and i did it with no problems.

Wednesday evening Kieron did some nice Salmon steaks with salad and new potatoes which was very nice. We chilled out whislt watching tv, we watched Torchwood and Gordon Ramsay and then went to bed.

Thursday work became quite slow. I hadn't got anyhting really to do so i was pottering around the office doing bits and pieces. It was like that for most of the day so i was glad when it was time to go home.

Emily and Jim decided to come round in the evening, I text her during the day to see how she was to have a catch up and hey weren't doing anything in the evening so they decided to come over and join us for a takeaway.

We had a chinese which was very nice and was delicious. I will be texting my good friend Rosey in the next few days as i haven't seen her for a while so i must arrange a meet up with her aswell. (Me typing this out is a good way of remembering to do it!)

They didn't stay too late because they had to get back home ready for work in the morning. Me and Kieron cleared up a bit before going to bed.

Friday and work was a manic day, we had more problems with the photocopiers so Harley had to come in again to help us sort them out. He was at our offices for the morning before going back to Sutton Coldfield.

The phones kept ringing constantly which made my day difficult, so i was glad to leave at 5pm. On my way home i picked up Kieron's new game Devil May Cry 4 for the Xbox which he had been waiting for.

During the evening i watched Kieron play his new game, the graphics are absolutly brilliant! I watched him for about an hour before watching some tv. Kieron then came and relaxed with me for a bit before going to bed.

Saturday was a good day, me and Kieron tidied up a bit and put some washing on. I then popped down to Sainsbury's to pick up some bits and bobs before going down to see mum, nan and grandad. When i arrived Gareth and grandad weren't there as they were getting a new tyre for Gareth's car (please see my brother's blog for the full details!).

They were soon back and and we sat down to have our glass of wine. I stayed until 3.30pm and went back home as we were going round to Steve and Natalies, but before we went round Kieron decided to make Spaghetti Bolognaise to take round with us for something nice to eat (and because he wanted his ego boosting by Steve and Nat telling him how wonderful it is!)

Kieron also took round Devil May Cry to show Steve, so while the lads were doing that me and Natalie were talking about tattoos. She's already got two small ones and has decided that she wants another one, i also told her i wanted a tattoo but i'm too afraid to get one.

She's going to get hers done at the end of the month so hopefully i will have enough courage to get one myself! (Apparantly if i don't get it done with her Kieron is going to drag me back until i have it done anyway!)

I decided long ago on my design which i really like, the link below is the website upon which i found my tattoo so if you go to this page and scroll down to the one that says Tribal Armour Band - that's the one i will eventually be getting.

We had a fun night playing games and having a general laugh like we always do. Me and Kieron left just gone 11pm as we were both tired.

Sunday me and Kieron went and did our shopping in the morning, and had a little break beofre going down to his mum and dad's for dinner. Maria had done beef and it was really lovely!

We then went with Tony and Maria to bingo as we really enjoyed it last weekend. We had a good night although i was 1 number away from winning £2,000 but someone called it before i had a chance! But it was still a good laugh.

When we got back home i dropped Kieron back at the flat and i went down to my nans for tea as usual. We watched part of the Bafta's although it was a bit dull but it was the only decent thing on telly.

I dropped Gareth home at about 10.30 and then went backhome myself. I sat and watched tv with Kieron for a bit and then we went to bed.

And that's it for now so cheerio!

"Seriously I'm Like A Mum to These People!"

Hello once again, time for my blog.....

Well I have already blogged last Monday so I will carry on the week with last Tuesday. I went back to work having been refreshed from my couple of days off.

I had quite a lot of 'little jobs' that needed doing which had been left for me during my time off. I had only been back in the office for 10 minutes and everybody wanted me to do something for them. People wanted me to find folders, or a letter or something which they couldn't do whilst i wasn't there. Seriously i'm like a mum to these people!!

I got the majority of work done during the day which i felt please about. When i got home Kieron had cooked a lovely meal. He'd cooked some fresh salmon stakes and did salad and new potatoes. We had bought a griddel on the weekend specifically for fish, steak etc so i think he wanted to try it out!

After we ate our tea Kieron decided he fancied something sweet so we went down to Sainsbury's and picked up a Bailey's Hagen Daaz. We alos bought 1408 on DVD.

So we got back home, put the film on and ate the ice cream. If you haven't seen 1408 then i advise you do so because it is a very good film. It stars John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson. John Cusack plays a writer who goes round staying in the most haunted/scariest hotels or places and then writes about them. He then hears of room 1408 at the Dolphin hotel. Samuel L. Jackson plays the hotel manager.

They both play really good parts (John Cusack especially) and i won't go into further detail becuase i don't want to spoil it. Although i will say that at the end of the film are left with some questions which i think the director should have answered.

Wednesday was a good day at work i got some filing done and more sorting out was accomplished.

Wednesday evening me and Kieron sat and watched tv. We watched a new programme on E4 called Reaper. This lad is the Devil's bounty hunter (because his parents sold his soul to the devil) who sends souls back to hell. But its very funny how he and his friends go about doing it.

Thursday work was fairly quiet so Peter got me to walk up to the RIBA library to get some more contract forms (which we have to fill in for every project) so i had a nice stroll our of the office for 30 minutes.

Thursday evening i went and had my haircut at Liasons. When i came back i ate my tea nad then my mum came round for abit. She brought a very welcomed bottle of wine and some Galaxy Minstrels. We had a nice chat and she left about 10.30pm.

Friday work was again quiet although i had some more filing to do which kept me going.

In the evening it was my nan's 84th birthday so i went down to my Aunty Jans where she had done some tea for us. My dad came down and also Lydia was there. I haven't seen her for ahile so it was really nice to have a catch up. Aunty Jan had done nan's favourite - Spaghetti Bolognaise which was very tasty indeed!

We sat and watched tv but then me and Lydia left about 10pm so we could get home.

Saturday was a busy day. In the morning i tidied up around the flat. Kieron then decided he wanted to go see Cloverfield at the cinema so we checked the times, and there was one within the next 20 minutes. So we quickly got changed and headed for Rubry.

It was a very good film which again i suggest you go and see. If you want to know what its about and what happens, click here. I'm not saying anything about it because my brother wants to see it!

After we had watched the film we went down to mum's for a bit for a glass of wine. We didn't stay too long because we were going out to Bingo!

We have said for the past few eeks we would like to have a go and Kieron's mum Maria plays every weekend adn she offered to take us.

We got down to Tony and Maria's for just gone 5pm and set off over to the Mecca bingo in Acocks Green. Maria told us what to do etc and we were soon in the hall in our seats.

You do have to wait a bit in between playing games but apart from that it was really good fun. Maria won £50 but me and Kieron didn't although we were very close, only needing 2 or 1 number.

When we got home it was quite late so we went to bed.

Sunday was another good day, i watched some tv whislt Kieron played on his xbox. I then had a shower and tidied up before going to do our weekly shop.

We came back and started doing our Sunday dinner, which was chicken. Whislt we were doing that Kieron checked whether he could download any of the new series of Lost, he found 1 and started downloading it.

We ate our dinner which was delicious and carried on watching the tv. A bit later we went round to Steve and Natalies. Me and Natalie went upstairs to watch the tv whilst the lads played on the Xbox.

A bit later we went and got a chippy because we were all hungry. Me and Kieron left about 11pm as we were tired.

And that's about it from me, so for now cheerio!
