Oh dear. Its all come to light. I am officially a woman.

I finished work this evening and came home and made my dinner, which I followed by having some raspberry ripple ice-cream with added sprinkles and marshmallow bits.
Then I decided I'd have a nice long soak in the bath. Without a second thought about it, I ran the taps, lit a million candles and grabbed a book. I looked at how girly the room looked but then just flicked off the light switch and slipped into the steamy bath.

I'll just point out at this point that its very rare for me to have a bath, and EXTREMELY rare for me to read a book (I think its been about 6 years since I read a proper book).

An hour later, I get out of the bath and decided to fake tan (it makes my skin look clearer and its summer!). So I'm sat now, greased from top to toe in my special spray tan, watching the repeat of Loose Women.

So, if you see me blubbing or biting someones head off over the next few days, ignore me - its probably just my time of the month...

First a quick whinge - My biggest pet-hate is bad customer service so when given the opportunity to improve things at work I will put forward my suggestions. Briefly, in March I put forward a few suggestions to pre-empt some problems we might face and was advised not to worry and my advice was ignored. Now we're dealing with cr@p as a result of it and its costing lots of money to fix. Grr. Its hard to bite my lip sometimes....

So after having that whinge, I'm going to move onto something that isn't quite what you might expect (especially after my previous whinge). This past week has been such a huge event for a lot of people in the world. Thousands of people have died or lost family/friends in China's earthquake and also in the Cyclone in Burma. When we hear about these events on TV in-between episodes of Eastenders and Coronation Street, it is easy just to glance at it and not pay attention - reality and fiction tend to merge on tv. The combined deaths in these 2 events alone were more than 20x that of 9/11. It wasn't terrorism and it wasn't war. It was nature.

I'm not about to ask you to donate money or preach to any of you, I just wanted to put some perspective on some of the drama's that infect our lives compared to what others are going through and remember that a natural disaster can happen ANYWHERE. No-one knows their sell-by-date. So don't waste time on hating/arguing. Sometimes its healthy to have a quick whinge but don't dwell on it. Work on good relationships with good friends and cut out all the dead wood until you're left with nothing but good. Life is short - improve its value x

Roarr I finally got on here! I don't know why but every time I actually remember to come on here I get errors but it ok now, dry them tears I'm here to make it all better.

Soo, following on from my last post, I got sent to some clinic for an ultrasound - I was hoping I was going to make medical history by them discovering a baby but no Its all good though - no problems I had started to feel better by the time I got the appointment so I wasn't too worried but its good to have medical confirmation

I went to another 30th Bday last saturday - I was really looking forward to this one as not only was it an asian party (which means being force-fed with lovely food and not feeling guilty when you shovel it down - it's rude to say no!), she had also arranged a bouncy castle & sumo suits! Now I haven't been on a bouncy castle since I was about 11 but I never realised how much energy it took to bounce on them things! So between bouncing and laughing hysterically I think I managed to burn off the BBQ food quite well!

At this point I should edge towards comments about my diet or something sensible like looking at my debts in a constructive way instead of adding to them each month but no, I'm merrily dodging them subjects and will end on this note... its nearly FRIIIIIIIIDAY!!!!!!!!
