Again I have been working silly hours this week, over 65 hours not including the stuff I brought home. I had to go into work yesterday and I am not very happy about it. On top of that we are moving offices next week, so another busy week.Hopefully things should calm down in the next week or so. Hubbie may have to go out to South Africa, so it will have to.Going to take a few odd days off and spend some quality time with my son who has been missing me recently. Although he has done very well and
Hurrah! The weekend is hereMega busy again this week, didn't leave work until after 6.30pm last night but managed to avoid having to go in today, so it was worth the extra effort The weather is dry and sunny, if a little windy so I think I better get out and start mowing the lawn soon (it seriously needs a hair cut - as I do)Although I may get hubbie to do it because my kidney has started to grumble again and I don't want to be unable to work next week. I think the stress of work has contribut
At last the Bank Holiday is here I'm looking forward to doing some overdue work in the garden (if the rain stops). We've had some trees and branches cut down from next to the house and now the garden is covered in wood chippings.I'm mentally drained at the moment, working flat out at work 8am - 6pm most days and bringing work home. Hopefully it will get back to normal in 2 weeks but in the meantime I'm just wacked Going to try and get some time off in June and go to London for the weekend or
Well had a 8.10am appointment to sort my tooth out :blink: They managed to save my tooth by doing more root canal work (without an injection :o )Mega, mega, mega busy at work. Took work home last night and finally had tea at 9pm when I had finished The sun is out and hopefully the forcast is good for the weekend
Hubbie had two sebacious cysts removed from his head today I'm not normally squimish but found it really.....well, put it this way I had to clean the blood out of his hair before tea or I would not have been able to eat tea There's me with a 6 inch mega scar down my side and I'm feeling funny about a 2 stitch cut on hubie's head
Blimey - what a week Been working 7.30am to 6pm most nights and also brought some work home for the weekend - am I nuts (don't answer that)Looks like the weather might be nice for the weekend so hopefully will get a chance to get out and blow some cobwebs away Got told off tonight cos I got the giggles when reading little one's story. He has a really strange way of saying Coaches, sort of Co-orches (sort of East Yorks accent) I was in tears laughing, with him saying "it's not a funny story mum
I feel like all my energy has been sapped today. Mowed part of the lawn and had to give up I was totally wacked I was so tired this afternoon that I had to go to bed this afternoon, I think the long hours at work are catching up with me. Little fella has been running me ragged, he's suffering from Grandma withdrawal so is an attention junkie. Bless him, he's really good though and has the wickest laugh that no matter what he has done just cracks you up. He was messing about eating his lunch an
Dispite my advancing years I still have a baby tooth (new one never grew)It's been causing me lots of bother recently and I had to go back to the Dentist today. Events tried very hard to prevent me getting there. Broken down lorry on Sutton Bank and Diesel spill Then gridlock on White Horse Bank. Got there 10 mins late but still not too late to have root canal treatment He didn't manage to get all the stuff out so I have a "temporary" dressing (looks like a bit of chewing gum to me) and hav
Well we are truely getting into the Year end thing now 7.30am to 6pm Not helped by a bloke being off with a "man cold" So I'm doing all his work as wellI'm really looking forward to it all being over and taking a few days off.Who knows I could have a excursion over to Cumbria on a stealth Goon mission
Went out deep into the Moors today. Dispite being just on the edge we seldom enjoy it Went to Malyen (sp) Spout in Goathland (where they film Heartbeat) and scrambled over rocks to see the "spout" (waterfall). The last time I went I was expecting my son and I can't believe I did that The weather has been kind, sunny with a bit of breeze. Many people seem to have had the same idea as us and so the roads have been very busy. Well back to work tomorrow. Not long to the next bank holiday (that's
Well had a boring day wandering round the Designer Outlet with Mum-in-law and Little Man. It wasn't boring because I was with them but I just wasn't inspired to spend a small fortune on clothes that I didn't particularly like Went to the Cadbury outlet shop though Bought some fruit allsorts which I have never tried before....strange I think the jury is out as to wheather or not I like them. It's cold and wet outside so I think tonight we will just keep warm and watch the telly. Bought a
Had a buzy old week last week trying to sort things out for Year end at work.My big boss burst into the office yesterday (he's a big guy) and said "I hear congratulations are in order" What ? "Balancing the cash last week" Oh right, for a second there I thought he meant something else Then later on my line manager locked me in the office by accident and I had to break out It's never dull being an accountant
Well today was nicer than expected Hazy sunshine which certainly attracted the bikers enmass (to the town not my house) Little fella is already exploiting the fact he has his grandma looking after him for the next 2 weeks and is milking every chance of attention We had a bubble blowing session this morning with him using the lots of bubbles blower and me using the MEGA bubbles blower (size of ballons unbelieveble ) anyway one of our +80 neigbours came out and gave me a stern look as it t
Well I had to wait in at home yesterday morning for a bed to be delivered so managed to get some painting done to the dinning room (no more bright orange). I'm hoping to finish it off today so we can get back to normality.I raced off to work after the delivery men had been. There was nothing on the radio, just Jo Whiley wittering on about some band which were dreadful so put a CD on. So there I am singing my heart out to Tears for Fears as loud as I can without a care in the world. Then I notice
When did I last see the sun? It seems like weeks ago Really busy at work and will be for at least the next 6 weeks but then I am going to have a short holiday - nothing exciting just time at home with little man I'm really looking forward to the longer nights and time in the garden/conservatory, it feels like there is so much more time in the day when it's lighter at night.Looks like Baby Chat is a big success on NW, seems like we are having a bit of a run on babies at the moment
Why is it that in the age of polyphonic ring tones on mobile do Ice cream vans still have that awful plinky plonky music, I find it quite demonic and scary (too much Chitty Chitty Bang Bang)I've finally had enough of the orange dining room and decided to attack it (well it's Easter and DIY is traditional activity at Easter) Hubbie has red/green colour blindness and decided to paint it when I was 8 months pregnant. He knows things are a certain colour just not quite how much of a colour they are,
Well I got some vouchers for my birthday so went off to spend them yesterday.Bought Jem - excellent CD, as hubbie said "more like Dido than Dido" and Prince, which is long overdue to be added to my CD collection. It took me back to my mispent youth when I got told off for writing the lyrics to 1999 in maths "yes Katie you were dreaming when you wrote this" So me and Milo were dancing around the kitchen to Let's go Crazy and the neighbours thought I was
This should have been posted on Friday but I didn't do something correctly Well got up early to try to beat the crowds at Tesco, unfortunately a few other people had the same idea Headed off to York only to find the road shut as they had discovered the body of the missing girl from Hull. It 's very sad and makes me shudder to think I must have driven past her body umpteem times in the last few weeks My thoughts are with the familiy, who at last can start to grieve properly. Got back to fi
Well I am finally getting over my cold, not a nice sight My 3 year old is a constant source of strange observations. His latest profound statement was (and after a long think about it)"Dogs don't like jam" Well what can you sayHe also insisted he had his goodnight kiss. I told him I couldn't cos I had a cold"You're not cold, your warm" aww...bless him I never considered myself as a maternal person but since he started to get his own personality I just bore everyone to death about his lates
Well another year past and another year older but am I a year wiser Had a mixed old bag of a day with certain family member deciding to forget etc Not that I expect tons of pressie but 50p on a card is not too much is it ? Anyway, full of cold I braved everything and celebrated with a medicinal bottle of CAVA (must have bubbly on your birthday) Got lots of smellies for my birthday (do I smell ) and Natasha Beninfield CD (v good) Many thanks to all who wished me birthday wishes
Well I thought I would treat myself to a Blog for my birthday (I really know how to pull out the stops )This will be the start of the inner workings of a bored accountant's mind - I hope you can all cope with the excitement. Not sure now what to write but enjoying being 34 for the last day Tomorrow is the first day of spring and my birthday. I will try to fight past the mountain of cards from friends and family I will try to think of something exciting for the next installment of "Account
