Bah Humbug?

Helloooooooo!

So, due to extreme pressure from a certain Miss Matthews, I have decided to update the ole blog!

Here's the latest:

I got my first Christmas present recently.... A chest freezer from my Mum and Dad :| Its a sad time when you get to the age where white goods are an acceptable gift! However, it was extremely useful and I shouldnt really complain!

Archie has started to make his descent, and will be here in no time :) After a scary false alarm on Sunday, I'm extremely happy that he's still in there, as work aren't very undertsanding :( but hey ho!

Christmas is here once again, and I only have one thing on my mind: How will I EVER remember to put 2012 instead of 2011???

My desire to be creative has kicked in again after seeing Kirsty's 'oranges' post.... But I can't be bothered to go and buy stuff to be creative with :( Being lazy is a massive hinderence to my creativity...

I'm off guys, so until 2012, I bid thee a fond farewell!

Week From Hell

Soooooo after almost completing the week from hell, I feel the need to explode my anger somewhere. Here, to be more precise.

This week, for the first time everm I was almost sacked. Must admit, its one of the worst feelings ever! And so typical that it happened when I WASNT in the office! I had an appointment, so worked from home on Wednesday afternoon, when I got a phonecall from work. Turns out that I'd been using live data to test (a real existing email address that I hadnt created) and the guy who owned it phoned M-care to complain about receiving a million emails! Obviously I didnt know it was live (who chooses an email ID like web.cycle??) but was told that this is usually a sackable offence! Sad times :( I managed to keep my job though, for now....

Aside from that, I also have to work all weekend :/ We were supposed to be doing a photoshoot this weekend, but I had to cancel because of weekend work, again. It seems I dont get any time to o anything anymore :( Bleeeeeh I want a mediocre job with no responsibilities!

Something that cheered me up muchly recently, Facebook stalking a former schoolfriend of ours! I challenge you to guess which one.... Look on her profile for a game wall post and see a guy attack her for leeching off of the state :D Is that too mean that I laugh??

I feel marginally less grumpy after writing this, thank you please.

My First Ever Post!

I guess I should explain the reason why I've decided to write a blog. There are a few, so see the list below:
1.) Boredom
2.) Desire to be a tad more creative
3.) Feeling a tad guilty about not keeping up with my close friends blogs....

Off of the back of this, I should probably say that I'm very sorry that I havent been keeping up with your blogs :( I've been tres busy at work, and when you sit in front of a computer all day long, the last thing you want to do is do it when you get home too. So, the theory is, if I have a blog, I'll be able to get updates on what you guys are doing... Provided someone tells me how to use this properly!

Here goes....

So, after our outing last weekend, I got rather sad. Miss Matthews was off to Wales the day after, and although I know you'll be back every now and again, it makes me realise how much time has gone past since school, and how none of us are just down the road from each other anymore.... Saying that, Lucy, you are just a 2 minute walk from me :P
It feels like only last year we were in our school uniform hanging around outside the music block (Kerrys perm pops into my head for some reason?). But now, we're all grown up, and moving away or moving on with our lives, and it feels a little sad :( I knew it would happen one day, but that day just sort of.... happened... without me even realising! It makes you realise how important friends are, and how important it is to make the most of your time with them when you do see them :)

In other news, I just thought I'd mention that Patrick starts his first ever job on Monday! In Iceland....
Strange to think that I have a stepson who has a job :|

Speaking of work, my annoyance of this week at work has been that my keyboard appears to be giving up! Everyday, I lose the use of another letter! So now when I'm writing emails and things, I cant use "r", "t," "1", "2", "h" and "s".... Thats the order they died in :( Is there anything I can do to remedy this??

Back to the personal life of moi, its only 10 weeks now until I meet my son, and until you all become AUNTIES!! :D Myself and Anton recently started attending antenatal classes, and I think this whole birth thing has hit me like a brick to the head.... I guess it cant hurt that much, my Mum did it 5 times, so why do it if it hurts that much? Not saying I have plans to do it 5 times :|
I'm also getting scared about the actual responsibility... Being a Mum is a huge thing, and how do you deal with the everyday things that happen to children? Like if he gets picked on at school, or if he gets into a fight, what do you do about it?? I know you shouldn't physically threaten 5 year olds, but does that mean you CANT do it? I guess I have a lot of time to consider it though...

So, thats the end of my first ever blog! I hope I did it right.....

Ciao for now peeps!
