the ultrasound was clear and i now need the surgery to find out whats going on inside thats causing so much drama but isnt showing up. the ultrasound didnt show up jack tho- proof is that i have a cyst on an ovary and it couldnt find it- how they get pics of babies from them is beyond me!!!
im now on holiday for an entire week but it will be far from relaxing, i have like, 40 mags to read thru as i havent had time in the past two months to get thru them, i need to clean the house i need to go to brighouse to see emma about my blinds for my house, i need to computer shop, shopping with izzy, id like to see georgi- georgi are you paying attention? i have a ludicrous amount of washing to do due to my lights being off downstairs, but now dad has piggybacked that circuit onto another so all is well lit again! id really like to go to manchester, im going to harass my parents, i want to go to ikea and might be able to take a friend with me also cos i know she needs to go to get some stuff for her kitchen, i need to go thru my attic, ive turned it into a tip. winter and summer clothes need swapping over also.
i need to go to the farm and to see my family at some point!
sigh. no rest for the wicked

where i live
[ the following sentences starting with # are cut and pasted from the panning permission to secure the following recreational area]
where i live is a predominantly asian area. a lot of Muslims, some Sikhs, some upper class and some student white English and this past couple of years, a new little group of Polish people. it is truly a mix! where i lived with my parents was predominantly white families that had been in the area forever with a few Muslim families.
B is nothing like SC or N (well im not gonna give you names lol. N is where i grew up, SC is up the road where i lived with my parents more recently and B is where i live now with the boyf.
this side of B has always been relatively crime free and nice and visually appealing. the lower half has always been rough, and last year there was a shooting and a man that was beaten to death. majorly shocking. this past few months we've been oblivious to whats been happening on our own street.
the street we live on is shaped like a ] but longer, and each arm connects onto a main-ish road. in the centre is some tennis courts and a bowling green. this is what our house looks onto. including a little clubhouse.
we've been oblivious because, from just around the time when our window was smashed, cars have been broken into and vandalised, items stolen and tires slashed also-
#The decision to erect a new fence has been made following a series of problems with vagrants sleeping on the land and also youths occupying the courts late at night and generally upsetting neighbouring properties on Ashfield Road. There have also been isolated instances of theft. The local Police have been aware of these instances, however, it is difficult for them to take action unless a disurbance is actually taking place. We understand they have also increased patrols in the area, but again it is difficult for the Police to prevent any issues because the club is for private members and it is not the Police's job to manage who uses the facilities.#
which, quite honestly is upsetting and rather scary.
Background
Oakfield Tennis & Bowling Club was founded in 1911 and is still situated at its original site, tucked away in
a picturesque, leafy square in Birkby, Huddersfield.
Oakfield is home to a bowling green and three tennis courts, two carpeted and one painted tarmac. In
addition, a tarmac singles court/practice area has recently been installed.
Tennis courts are generally playable all year round, due to our all weather courts, and men's and ladies
practice sessions continue throughout the year.
The club house dates back to the early 20th century, and whilst it has been updated over the years to
include modern amenities, it still retains much of it's original charm. It also houses a half size snooker table
available for members to use. Ladies and Gent's toilets are situated underneath the club house.
Oakfield’s well-maintained facilities and friendly atmosphere have helped it to flourish in recent years, and it
now has over 200 members. Oakfield prides itself on being a friendly club and is popular with families,
beginners and experienced players alike. New tennis and bowling members are always welcome, and there
are regular opportunities for newcomers to mix in and share a game with existing members.
it celebrates its centenary next year!! im amazed by this. and cant wait for my kids to have lessons! i kind of want to play bowls... and i cant see a problem with the fence. i totally understand the need for it, id rather it be secure

caaaake
i just made a bloody amazing cake :D
polenta, ground almond and rice flour based with 5 eggs, with ground cinnamon and orange and vanilla essences (and m&s dairy free spread)
i just tried a slice and its gorgeous!
p.s. it had sugar in too, but not much as the almonds make it sweet

i've been in the garden...
... and dug up 5 archemilla-mollis! and a tree, i don't know what the tree was but it had been cut back and was a foot high bunch of root and sticks and i thought i may as well get it out when i was there... we're redoing that end of the garden when i have our garage replaced so anything i hate can quite happily go! i have another few archemilla-mollis to remove and a dead mahonia
if you dont know what an archemilla-mollis looks like--- its this innocent little looking thing that breeds like wildfire...
our mahonia should look like this... but is this in dead as it was cut back and we got a random frost that killed it

i am so crap at remembering to blog, i am sorry! nothing much to report. infact im not sure theres anything to report...
hmmm
...
i got a new swimsuit. we're of to centreparcs in september and i plan on going on the waterslides and such. i have never ever been on one before. i am shitting bricks!
also there i shall be doing archery!!! and G will teach me to ride a bike all over again (the last time i was on one was 17 or more years ago, and saying it ended in tears is an understatement. we have a photoshoot booked (corny i know but i want to see what they can do) i have a spa session booked also (to give G some time to himself to read or whathaveyou. so yeh. i have a spotty coral swimsuit :)
i framed loads of pictures and cards and such and hung them on walls and placed them on mantles and such, and the house now looks more home-like, which makes me more relaxed and for some reason, it doesnt look as cluttered now theres stuff everywhere, the clutter blends in... haha :D
i also cant get both my adult bridesmaids in the same place at the same time. and i also might have found THE wedding shoes. theyre purple and G and felicia dont like them and im wondering if theyre too low, but cos i got them at schuh they have a 365 day returns policy and i get married in 11 months so im all good or taking them back if i find others more suited, even if i leave it til after im married!
i went shopping the other day, i bought loooooads of stuff, but, in my defence, some were clothes for centreparcs, some were xmas presents (i am ORGANIZED!) and some were a leaving present for Kristiana Marie, who i shall miss like an arm. some were also little things for me... in my defence, one was a useful diary (cos i dont like my hugely expensive filofax) and some were notepads for work.
that is all. i suck. kthnxbye!
p.s. i have almost fully sorted my study!
p.p.s the living room is PERFECT
p.p.p.s i appear to be getting fatter
p.p.p.p.s glyn has my car cos his has broken (AGAIN!) and it is PISSING it down outside, it is horrific.
hmmm

i like things where i put them.
i like things in order.

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!

Hi, I don't know if you know me, but... I hoard. I do, I collect everything, I have a quirky sense or style and am a bitch to buy for, but ultimately, I hoard.
I just sat down in my bathroom and for the second time this week had a route thru the 6 drawers in there. And now have an almost full bin, mostly of out of date products. And stuff I don't need. Stuff that cream with me from mum and dads house. From that bathroom cabinet I had that was filled to the brim with stuff. And that shelf that looked fit to collapse. I always knew where everything was, it was brilliant. but I have just thrown something away that expired back in 2007. I'm slightly ashamed. Its a job I love to do, have a clearout, I'm just better at doing it to stuff that's not mine, like mums kitchen, helens wardrobe, and god I wish I could have had a crack at izzys room. That would have been heaven.
For I love to tidy, everything has a home. clean and organize, and as the boyf repeatedly said to me earlier whilst watching friends. I am. Monika.

the outside world
sometime after ten... my lover drove me into town, and dropped me off at... the pub!
yes me, i went out, im not working all weekend so go me! ive had half a tequila sunrise (way too strong mr berry) and 2...3(?) sex on the beach. id have drunk the water i bought but it was from a tap and tasted funny, after seeing a dozen people i have missed for so long, we went to camel, where i saw my friend lisa, the dj, who i have been missing, and since i wore killer shoes i couldnt dance so i looked glum, then Pete started proper dancing with me and here i am, on my sofa, in my lounde at 2.44am, listening to a helecopter sweep about (not an uncommon sound, here in Birkby)
so thankyou Lala (i cannot wait for your birthday party on friday!!!) and Franny (i hope your ulcer heels. pillow under knees. pillow under knees) and Pete (you are too touchy feel and were pissed but you couldnt help it, youre sweet. Roo (yaaaay skinny minny! ive not seen you in so long!) and Ash (haha blagged your head!)

post 200!
is depressing! check out my living room window!
it has smashed the inner double glazed pane, you can see the stress point (in the middle to the left if youre unsure)
there are tiny tiny shards everywhere i have just vacced up, but as i can still hear it moving and 'chinking' then i guess i shall have to do the same tonight. we have NO IDEA what has caused it. ive never known it happen before. thankfully it is only one pane. and it wasnt a malicious attack or anything! its covered in decorating tape and if i can im gonna get some sticky back plastic today to hopefully stop any more chinks falling out before it is fixed!

i cut my hedge. with shears. snip snip. all of it. Debbie from 2 doors along came over and asked if i was 'seriously' going to do it all by hand. i did. when i got to the other side, right to the end, someone from 4 doors along came down and asked if i would like to borrow his electric clippers... i asked the boyf if he wanted to do it and he lost some of his sulk and cut back the hedge even more (i liked it fluffy, it is now a box) preluding all this the boyf got in a mood with me because i wanted to do it by hand... and he wanted to do it by electric. we dont own electric. i told him if he wanted to, he could go buy one. he said he didnt have the money for such a thing. he said he couldnt understand why i kept rubbing that in. i said i couldnt understand why it couldnt be done by hand.
oh well. its done now and the man 4 doors up says we can borrow the clippers whenever we need to :)

the return of... fatbag!
i got fatbag out of the attic, fatbag is actually 2 plastic crates and a bag some pillows came in... packed full of stuff! i keep all underwear, swimwear and delicates in the bad, and jeans, shirts etc all in the crates. seasonal stuff gets put in as well as the stuff thats too big or too small, so i got lots of summer stuff out for this weekend, and.... shock freaking horror, i did something i never do... i had a clearout- i threw out oh-so-many pairs of knickers ive never even worn cos theyre a stupid size, shape or material- i tried them all on... i mean, why do i want underwear that fits me so oddly i get camel toe? or knickers that are really low on the ass that i have to pull up all day...? i also gave probably 15-20 bras of variying sizes to the charity bag! speaking of charity, i have a massive bag going now! woop! tho we also have a sizable stack of books in the basement- should i sell them? does anyone want any of them that reads this?
another thing, i went to The Gap just after xmas and bought loads of sale knickers- they have now become me faves and i cant stop wearing them, today i went back to a pair i used to wear pre-gap and i spent the day fiddling with them cos they dont feel comfy anymore... i have LOADS of Floozie knickers- i cant just bin them!

today
well i got to work less than 10 minutes late, which i was amazed by, the boyf got here so fast!!!!!!! minutes before he arrived i was doing laundry and my parents walked thru my front door... i was all wtf!? but they were bored and came to do my garden. im just sat talking to the wonderful fantastic Felicia whilst drinking midouri and pineapple juice, im on my second (healthy pour)... if you dont already read Felicia's blog, you should, she has too sweet little boys and is getting married rather soon! sadly she lives in Canada else she'd be one of my bridesmaids!
Friday, 14 May 2010
yay
i got a gorgeous bouquet of flowers of the boyf sent to work today :)
sex this morning (tmi maybe? :P)
to play with my dogs
and the area manager came to work and loved Kristiana's section (kids) and mine (travel, religion, philosophy and MBS- mind body and spirit) she thought they were kept at a high standard, well presented, tidy, looked after, she was please i knew my figures, that my shelf offers had done really well (some of the best in the entire store last month) and she was happy i knew my stock and customers. she also liked my honesty, i admitted i was new to using Product Group reports but found them interesting and she was happy i was prepared and passionate. so really really positive and we had a good chat about travelling and Glee...
the only low points of my day were my pounding head and the fact i didnt get any banana liqueur when i went shopping the other day as it means i cant make a bahama mama!
tomorrow i shall be going to specsavers to tell them theyre useless wankers and to get money back off them. to physio for brenden to see my back, to my farm so glyn can buy a pie and we can buy something for tea! to holmfirth to see my pottery clock which is exhibited at the local tourist information office there and to look for a sweet shop and to buy some creamed tofu and palm oil 'butter' from the health food shop
hopefully my hall will loose some of its horrid brown, untouched ikea boxes containing furntire. we NEED to finish painting my room so we can put up the shelves in there and finally get the rest of my desk put together. tho tomorrow we might just maybe manager the set of drawers for our bedroom (chorus of hallelujahs please)
mum and dad have said theyre coming over next weekend, i need dads strimmer for the garden and he wont let me put up the 2 mirrors we have. when all of this is up i think it will actually be done. we shall be finished. finally.
except for the little bit of painting left to do for the bedroom and the ensuite... and the fact i want all the bathrooms carpeting cos im sick of almost breaking my neck whenever i want to wash myself... which is at least once a day, sometimes twice...
i also sponsered my boss £5 in her race for life on sunday, only i dont know if she will know its from me cos i only put 'sarah' on and im sure she knows many. hmm. should i mention it or no? will she figure it out? we shall have to see!
ooh i got a PJ Tracy book today! yay! their 5th has FINALLY been released, its only been 2(+) years! i also bought the boft some boring book on the renaissence to do with his doctorate. *yawns* right, im off to bed now after i put my next load of washing in! york on sunday with izzy and georgi! yay!

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.

-ive got the boyf addicted to greys
-ive been to 2 garden centres today and bought loads of things; ceramic planters, herbs, spring plants, food, pretty beach themed things for the bedroom
-lisa and i went to ikea where i bought more things; a lamp, a desk, a shelf, a picture frame, some tupperware, a jug, a toy for my cousins baby, and... er... a chair! um... i also scouted for all the other things we need, its taken forever to get this much- when my front bedroom/my office is finished at least i can get my desk in there...
-so lots of painting has to be finished this week!
-mum has orgnised for my fridge-freezer from my old house and all my books to be delivered this week also
-i planted up some stuff from the first garden centre this morning and tomorrow i plan to finish some more!
-i have 6 loads of laundry to do. ugh, it never seems to go down, we'll have to see how much i manage tomorrow
-im getting used to my Blackberry
