i need to remember to get the boy something Will&Grace boxsettish for xmas, someone remind me...

:D

if you know me you know my car is gross inside, im sorry, i neglect it, but thats just me.

but tonight i cleaned it.

no idea why

im on an organizational spree.

if you know me, you know im always a bit of a Monica. infact the boyf takes the mickey on a regular basis.
i like things done only the way i do it.
i like things where i put them.
i like things in order.
everything is mine.
i dont share.
i cook too much food.
i have a closet like she has. that place to be disorganized (until i find me feet in this house thats more than one place atm)


in other news...

i went to Holmfirth Art Week to collect my stuff today!! will put up pics of what i bought, when i charge my camera... dad also took me to meltham to fill my tyres at the petrol station as i went to their house complaining my tyres were creating a noise dogs would hate me for- they were down, really really down to what they shoudl have been, which would explain the screaming and the fact ive been burning petrol!!!

my window still isnt fixed, but should be on tuesday! yay yay there is a man coming to repalce the pane :D

the boyf and i went to Flamborough yesterday, and whilst stuck in horrific traffic on the motorway, i burnt my arm. its horrific sunburn, and worse of all- i was wearing a tshirt so i have a white shoulder cap :( it was the hottest place in Yorkshire yesterday, i cant believe it!

i am currently alphabetizing my dvd collection...

hello

i am just chatting with my lovely friend Felicia and have literally just finished watching Julie & Julia- which i LOVED, it wasnt an up and down movie, no rollercoaster ride here, but it was warm and you felt for both the women involved and it was sweet and the food looked v.yummy! i also have a pile of magazines sat on my lap to go thru before i go to bed! i keep buying them as i used to, well actually less so, but i never have the time to go thru them anymore...

my hair looks so nice when i DO it, but i can never be arsed to DO it. so it looks a bit crap. so no photos. i might do it tomorrow. i think we're going to our fave restaurant. my treat. we havent been in months.
im no further along with the wedding. not really, ive seen som jimmy choos i like but i dont think i can warrant spending the £325 on a pair of shoes just cos im getting married. like really, that could buy the cake tower no matter what we make it out of!

the boyf got all excited and wanted to watch the battlestar galactica (furthermore called BSG) season one box set i bought months before xmas that mum packed and i found a few weeks back in a box... sooo season one, disc one, episode one... "previosuly on BSG..." what? huh? this is the first, how can there be this? wtf? so we watched 2 episodes and nothing, NOTHING made any sense. why? well because they did a mini series and didnt put it in the box set, so really this is season 2 isnt it? as they already did some episodes before, that would be season 1, or season 1 part 1, and the box set i have that starts with '33' would then be season 1 part 2. nothing on it says we should have watched 'the mini series' first. nothing. its made me angry, but its coming from amazon, to work for just £4 reduced from £12.99 (i should fucking hope so for 3 fucking hours for probable shite)

i bought another Ashley Jackson print (this one unframed- the lady in the shop was very miffed i didnt want her shit frame- she had to cut the back off it) Ashley was in his gallery when i went and showed me all the originals that he still has. theyre pretty good, i either love them or im not keen, i bought this one more for the boyf, he has a love of the sea, the beach, lakes, water, i do too but he really really warms at the sight of anything to do with them. so i bought a print of Ashleys Morcambe bay, you can see the mountains behind and the sky is dark and moody as it is. so its sat wrapped in cellophane and sat on my big white painted fireplace in my lounge (the mini print of the moors is sat over the boyf's sofa with the light on the settled water up the moors)

before work today i cleaned the master bathroom, im finding i have to do 'one job' a morning now to get stuff done. else nothing ever gets done, last week one day i did the kitchen, i mean, we clean it down in between, but this was a proper, get everything off, move everything, clean everything, minimalise, throw out etc. same with the bathroom today. in both rooms the only thing i didnt do was the floors, im not good with floors.

this morning i burst into tears. the oven did it again. it winds me up. it burns and destroys my food. I CAN COOK. i can, i make great food, i made amazing things when i lived at my mum and dads. cooking on their AGA. this gas range we have? its horrific. it never lights, it takes forever to warm up, it burns everthing, its not constant. the aga was constant. i miss the aga. so i burnt my amazing american bacon. and the second set of eggs i did over cooked. its a good job le beau was there else id have dragged it out onto the street and smashed it with a hammer. i would. i despise it. he calmed me down and cooked my food for me while i then played games on facefook (intentional 'f')

my cousin Sally and i took her daughter to Eureka which is an AMAZING childrens museum. i shall post some pics of Florence having the time of her life. afterwards i droves us to a cheap shop called B&M Bargains (i only go such places with my cousin Sally- she is a bargain hunter extrordinaire!) i got some duster mitts and some tealight lanterns and hit Florence on the head with a basket (she walked into it- just the right height) and then we went to ASDA which is where the SCUM OF THE EARTH do their weekly shop. i have a 3 door car and it had its first ever baby seat in (containing Florence) so we needed a parent and child space so we could get her out. it was sunday, ASDA was heaving. we drove round and i spotted a man loading his kids into his car. score, pulled in, indicated. then the guy 2/3 cars a head did the same and he put his reversing light on. i asked Sally if i should just drive in, she said yes, i did, then there was a smash on my window and an f-ing and blinding man screaming and shouting at me for stealing his space and how he'd been waiting for 'ten fucking minutes' and what the fuck did i think i was doing? i had to get out of his fucking space now and i was a fucking bitch- he ranted for 10 entire minutes all the time with 2 year old Florence and his 7 year old son (no need for a parent and child space) watching and listening. i mean. really- what. the. fuck. Sally i think is still fuming. and its Tuesday night. shes a police officer and couldnt do anything because she was wearing Fitflops and had Florence with her. we watching him drive round 3 or 4 times. i expected to come back to my car and have numerous horrific words carved into the metal work. tosser.

why why why havent they put Grey's Anatomy on box set for season 6? why why why, ive had season 5 forever. and we're nearly finished. i cant watch it online. the boyf wont do that. he'll get tetchy. arnt they on season 7 now?

anyway. this isnt getting my pile of magazines read and its 1am on Wednesday the 5th of May, for all those that read this and are still on tuesday time- May the 4th be with you! (happy Star Wars day)

um...

im not gonna put this in paragraphs cos i cant be bothered

-i now have the same color hair as this



which what im aspiring to have by the wedding, length, curls and color.

-we've managed to get thru all my greys anatomy box sets, we're 2 discs into the last one now. we've past whats on terrestrial tv. woop. i have no idea whats left after this. a full season? 2? it think 2.

-our bed has developed a severe squeek. so much so that we had to stop cos i was giggling my ass off at it, which made Glyn start.

-the shelf in the kitchen, which had loads of plates on, about 10 bottles of different types of oil, jugs, tupperware... collapsed. the kitchen was built on the cheap, (the insides dont match cupboard to cupboard, in either kitchen) but anyway they used cheap plastic things that hold up the shelves. they bent. they dropped. we were in the dining room and heard a crash. it took a while to work out what it was as nothing visible happened as the cupboard door was shut, nothing was broken tho. thankfully. annoyed tho.

-2 of my 3 orchids are dying. i dont know what im doing wrong. i might try special orchid food, but some of the flowers are dropping off :(

-im sick of doing washing. im sick of cooking. im sick of cleaning. im sick of looking at piles of detritus, unfinished rooms, and im sick of needing another set of drawers and 2 bookcases from ikea that we A) cant afford and B) cant fit in my car even if we put it on my credit card

-my back hurts, my neck hurts. i hurt. i have so many knots in my back, i cant wait to see my physio on thursday.

-we started watching The Informant. the boyf turned it off, it was boring, we didnt even get halfway thru

-i bought a Swarovski crystal oyster with a pearl set in it for my mum and dad for their 30th anniversary. im amazed cos mum actually loved it. dad had me get her flowers from him. so i did from my new fave florists. she liked them, yet still had a little complain. it wouldnt be her if she didnt. theyre beautiful tho. whether she whines or not.

-more and more ideas are formulating inside my head. for the wedding. not just general ideas.

-crazy weather today, it was very warm, lovely and sunny, and then we got an amazing rainstorm, so much so i set off from my house in the sun, and nearly had to pull over on the way to frannys cos i couldnt see out my windscreen

-speaking of windscreens. mine has a chip in it, the boyf and i were off to Trafford Centre (due to me seeing smoke plumes near the motorway and me wanting to find out why) and anyway, something hit my windscreen, hard, it shook the car, if whatever it was would have gone thru id now be a widow.

-smoke plumes were from horrific moorland fires in nearby halifax

-the boyf is taking me to NYC for my 26th, but it will be his 40th 2 months later, i might incorporate that into it, if i can

-im getting fat

and now im off to sleep, goodnight x

this may be a mega long post me thinks...

1) IVE FOUND A DRESS!!!!!!!!!!!
A FREAKING WEDDING DRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its gorgeous :)
and ivory
which scares me
i didnt want pale
but its sweet
and short
and 50s

2) ive got the boyf addicted to Grey's Anatomy. he loves it so so so much

3) im loving my Blackberry. its taken a while to get used to but im comfortable with it now, only the alarm is bugging me. and its message tone. and the expensive applications.

4) i came home the other day and the boyf had put a second coat of teal on my study walls and then yesterday we put part of my desk together. he's told me hes going to touch up the paintwork on monday as he has 4 days off for the holiday and then we can put together the rest of my desk and we can get the two Billy bookcases i need from ikea to go in the room and i can start to set the room up and then maybe, just maybe i can go thru the ridic pile of shite im harbouring in the room next to it!

5) ive almost gotten thru the washing. it just seems to build up!

6) the plant i potted up outside are looking sweet and make it look more homey

7) the planning permission for our garage has gone thru :)

8) im bored with my hair, i want it long again

9) as we speak the boyf has just dropped cheesecake on our sofa and it trying to spray it with vanish. i dont think it will work but im clueless as i dont tend to drop stuff on sofas...

10) we have a tall cupboard unit in the the kitchen and its been a bit of a mess, i pulled out all its contents the other day and tetris packed it :)

11) we got a delivery from my mother, she sent my fridge freezer and my books by removal man. instead of now haveing a tiny freezer and a tiny fridge we have 2 spacious of each! hopefully this will stop our mini fridge freezing everything now it has more room for the air to circulate

12) well i cant just leave it at 11. im reading a book on dogs atm. its brilliant. factual about why they do the things they do. i had a break after reading the first 6 books by Debbie Macomber in her Cedar Cove series, the 7th doesnt come out in this country til august i think it is. i cant honestly wait.

im just settled in bed

listening to kerrang on my tv (not done this in ages) and loving the metal!

have been sick as a dog in bed all week, before this morn, the last time i slept was sunday night! the doctor came to see me on thurs and declared a nasty chest infection, and told me i had to stay home and not go to work, ive gone thru so much kleenex that mums cleared out nearly 2 bin bags full of tissues! there was a point i ran out completely and had to use loo roll, and regualar non-balsam tissues and its ruined my nose! its aqall scabbed and crusty now, very very gross. the antibiotics seem to ble clearing up most of the snot tho, thankfully. theyre the size of horse pills tho and i have to take 4 a day, so im glad theyre doing something my lips are cracked and bleeding and bloody hell, can i sneeze!?! my nose has been bleeding for about 12 hours now (not much tho) and about 6 hours ago after dinner i sneezed and something cracked, which freaked me out, i think i snapped some cartilage or something cos i have a mini headache just to the left of the top of my nose where the crack was! :(
mum and dad have been waiting on me hand and foot *much love*

the boyf (fiance!!!) also has a bad cold, so hes been told by his doc too and now mums coming down with something too :(

whats upsetting me is that my mum and my auntie have sent me some gorgeous sets of flowers, and theyre in my dinerkitchen and im in bed at mums. so i havent been able to see them :(

while ive not been sleeping, but have been coughing/choking/sneezing/dying ive been trying to get thru the pile of books that lives in my bathroom, that contains the ones im reading, there used to be only about 15 but a while ago it got over 25, which was a bit crazy, its now under 25, as ive finished 3 this week (yaaaaaaaaaaay)lets see how many i can get thru before i move! i only have one in progress at my house.

the house which i HAVE to move into this weekend. and my cameras packed up so i cant take pictures of here, which i had planned. *sad sarah*

ive also been watching TNG again after that incredibly long break of not watching any, im not into series 7, the last of TNG :(

The Next Generation

ok. i found out he boyf is a bit of a trekkie.
amazon have a sale on box sets, so i bought the entire of Next Gen, ive started watching it from the very beginning, and im really rather liking it!
