Work work work and friends!

Ok now the year has started with a bang, and great big work bang. Away from home, living in hotels and flying around the UK. If that wasn't bad enough someone has nicked (sorry Americanise speakers)stollen my easyJet speedy boarding label for my suitcase and the business lounge was closed at the airport. In the great scheme of things that's really pathetic isn't it, and of that's all I have to complain about I am really a shallow cow.

I have nothing to moan about in my life, great friends going through some really awful times, things I can't imagine coping with, and I wish I could spend more time helping them and giving them my love and support. But work just gets in the way, and I'm sorry for not being there. But please know my love goes to you all, and you are always in my thoughts.

Love you x

Beaten by a better team

Ok, so my first visit to a football match and the team I want to win loose by 4:0 lol what can I say, obviously they do not need my support! But what a fab adventure, a lovely day out with good friends, a lovely Italian meal in a fab little Italian restaurant, then off to the match to see Portsmouth get beaten then in to the pub for a few glasses of wine and then home with my lovely. It was a great day, one of the best, and must be remembered.

So what's this week got to offer me, work, work, work and away from Rich, not good! I'm getting a bit fed up with being away from home, I need to reorganise my diary, and get home more. It's strange that now the kids have finially left home it's lovely being at home with Rich, I don't want to end up night after night in hotels, I don't care how nice they are, I would rather be at home. So guess I've got to do some planing and ensure I can get home more.

That's nice though, after nearly 30 years of marriage I would rather be with Rich than anyone else, guess I've got a goodenn best keep him to myself, not into sharing. Just love him to bits.

Hope your as lucky xxx

At last its Friday!



And I'm going to make the most of it, visiting friends, shopping, eating, going to the pub and something I've never done before, I'm going to a Football match !!!! Chelsea V Portsmouth. I'm a bit scared, I have no idea what to expect, at least I do know they both wear blue. Gosh that makes me sound like an idiot and shallow, the only thing I know about football is what they wear!! My images of a football match has been tainted by a book I read called Smoothies, it was about a gang of young kids who would go down to Fulham for a kicking, all tooled up! nice. And the newspapers with pictures of fighting yobs.

But as I'm going with Professor Richard and his family I think it will just be a fun day out, with masses of wine & Italian food, not really soccor huligans, thank goodness.

Love xxx

Who has my brain?

Help it's gone, someone has stollen my brain, or I've sneezed and lost it! I do not know how I managed to function today, my brain was replaced by cotton wool, and there was no connection from mouth to ears, oh I was crap. Talk about bullshit, I think I should get a phd in BUll SHIT as thats all I talk these days. I was so bad I put off a long drive to Liverpool as know one on the M6 would be safe, and tomorrow's training session would of been pants!

Why does that happen, a normal functioning human is replaced by an idiot, now that would be good on your absence sheet at work, 'Replaced in sleep by a body snatcher, now a blithering idiot' how long would you have off work for that? How long does it take for your brain to restart, or perhaps it's just it goes offline and has a temporary error message. Now that would be a much better excuse " synapse error, will be offline for the foreseeable future , please contact IT services". Hummmm that even makes me sound intelligent!

But, ok i will stop moaning, it's only a cold, hey it could be worse I could have man flu! Opps I'm not a man I'm a girl, I don't qualify xxxxxxxxxxxx

Day 3 and 'BACK AT WORK'

OMG when my alarm woke me at 6:30 this morning it was pitch black, pouring with rain and the wind howling, I felt sure my phone had gone mad. Isn't it bad enough to get up early after a holiday but to extreme weather conditions, frankly that's taking the **** and the joys of standing at Stevenage Railway Station in the wind and rain waiting for a computer train, a stark jolt back to reality, not to mention the travesty of my wild hairstyle!

It's ok it got better, a jumper on the tube meant delays and over crowding, that's it no more moaning! I'm boring myself.

Oh the joys of eating up all your work colleagues Christmas treats, so much for starting a new year diet, I now know why lent is so good. But on a quick audit of chocky stocks held by Rich & I think we will need 40 weeks before any dieting can start. Never mind after 4 weeks away from the gym, Alan our trainer has told us we have banked oodles of extra training days in the gym, so at least we can work off all the extra chocks we have to eat.

What a dicotame, having a stash of chocolate and masses of gym sessions!!!

Two days into 2012

Oh what a fab start, Rich asked me at 11am when I was tucked up in my duvet in my fluffy over large pjs what did I want to do today and I said "I'm doing it!" so there are I stayed, snoozing until 2pm, watching our new flat screen 3D TV, Rich scoured the Internet for streaming 3D porn!!!! But hey the price for living in the countryside is poor internet connection, hehehe.

Never mind Rich perhaps 3D porn will go on sale soon in those smutty little shops you like :)

So after dragging myself from my pit I ended up on the sofa, watching a cheesy Christmas movie hoovering up the remains of the Christmas treats, one large tin of celebrations and a tin of quality street. Well I have to give my trainer a nice big challenge, so my wobbly thighs, and expanding waist line will be at his mercy from tomorrow night, and the regime of reshape Jacky starts again. Oh for the two weeks of Christmas I've binged on chocolate, toffees, biscuits, cake and any other banned substance I can get my hands on, so now it's rehab for my sweet tooth. Wonder if they do patches for that !!


Lots of love xxxx

New Year 2012

Well another new year, oh please please be better than last year.

So far it's been great, a lovely New Year Eve's mini party in the Rising Sun, turned into Cafe Rene with all the locals dressed as Allo Allo characters. I was Michelle, Richard was Lft Castairs of course, sporting official moustache and flying goggles. Daphne went as Grandma, I mocked up a bed for her. It was a lovely evening with locals and friends, we welcomed in the new year with bubbles and songs. Then lite chinese lanterns with special messages on them. I wrote a message to Andrew, but it was difficult to get it alight, when it eventually did it Flew into a tree, and the tree caught fire, that's says it all Andrew is staying with me, god bless him. It made me cry, and remember how sad I felt last year, as it was a year to the day we heard the news that Andrew had cancer. But despite my sadness it was a lovely evening, I really enjoyed myself, but ended up sleeping on the floor as my bed was spinning.

The first day of the new year was fabulous, we went to Tony & Val's for lunch with all the old crowd. Oh it was lovely to see everyone, 4 generations from Val's mum to Saddie, Gemma's beautiful daughter. How lucky I feel to have such special friends, and it makes me realise how I must make time for my friends in my busy life. So we've decided to make a dinner date night once a month to ensure we make time for each other. As we all know friendship is like growing plants, leave them alone they wither and die, feed them, talk to them and spend time with them they grow into something beautiful that you love.
