Saturday 17th April 2010


Hello!

Well its finally the weekend - and a weekend that I am not working woo hoo!! Hope you like the picture of my girl-twin... lovely aint she? lol

I just finished a few earlies which I hate! although it wasn't too bad - Stu who I work with keeps me entertained! We get on quite well and he makes me laugh - my only problem with him is that he has got a really high score on my phone on the game doodle jump and I'm never gonna beat it and its really annoying!

The weather has gone quite nice - so we decided to have a BBQ, we were gonna invite girl-twin and boyfriend, and eldests' girlfriend and Yvonne (even tho she insults me :-)) and Stuart...but nobody other than girl-twin and boyfriend could come so it was just the four of us but it was nice to get in the garden.

I bought insecticide to get rid of the pretty beetles on all of my plants today - felt a bit guilty spraying them and girl-twin called me a murderer, but they are killing my plants!

We somehow ended up to agreeing that girl-twin's boyfriend could stay over tonight, she is 16 and he is 15, so that is dangerous territory. He had better stay in eldest son's bedroom if he values his life!

I had a few too many Pimm's so I went to bed at 6pm-8pm, we are now ordering Chinese take-out. I was supposed to be good diet and alcohol wise but hey ho....

I did a fitness test at the gym the other day, It was 1000 meters on a rowing machine followed by 1.8 miles on an exercise bike, and then a 2km run on the treadmill - he said a good time would be 20 minutes, an average time would be 25 minutes and a rubbish time would be anything over 25 minutes! Immediately after the run you have to do as many push ups as you can do in one minute and as many sit ups as you can do in one minute. This nearly killed me - especially the running! I did the rowing, cycling and running in 21 minutes and 11 seconds. So I think that was quite good - but the object of the fitness test is to be able to beat the time in 4 weeks time as a sign that you are getting fitter. I cannot imagine being able to do it any quicker!!

I am a bit fed-up tonight because in Manchester all my family are having a get together because it's my Nan's 80th birthday. I wanted to go and was thinking of getting a last minute flight but all the flights have been grounded due to volcanic ash from Iceland. My eldest has gone and he called me earlier and I could hear all my family in the background having loads of fun! I am the only one not there and I really wish I was there! I wanna see my folks and brothers and sisters, and nephews and nieces - and my eldest! oh yeah and my nan, but apparently she went home at half eight! lol. My cousin is there too, and I don't know who else but maybe my aunt and uncle :-( It wont be the same without me there tho!

Just watching Britain's got talent - it should be called Britain is full of weirdo's!

Okay the OH just made me a cocktail so I'm off....
