What a day, dying of boredom, not knowing what to do with myself, I didn't realise that the forum took up so much of my time, if it wasn't for the novelty of having lappy and talking to vikki today, I'd have probably ended up sleeping all afternoon on and off whilst the kids were playing on the PC and the DS.
Euan is bored of the DS now, I'm wondering if he will feel the same way when he has got his own DS to play with or whether he will be able to renew his interest in it because it's a different shape, it's his own and he'll have 200 games to play on.
Bronny has been a bit mouthy again today, no where near as much as yesterday but still enough to get my goat. Yesterday she was sent to bed without a kiss and a hug and some attention because of the amount of mouthing that was coming out of her mouth :( I was sad that I had to but Simon said she is never going to learn if she is not punished for it.
Today has been a bit of a write off again :S but it's my own fault for letting them sit on the PC and the DS all day :( well, since just before lunch which is when I got up again *Blush* I'm going to be dead tomorrow morning and probably struggle to get up on time but it's my own bloody fault. It's now 1:03 and I'm still sitting here wide awake on lappy *rolls eyes*
Simon's locusts are jumping around a bit tonight, they keep disturbing each other they jump on eah other and not for that so the one that got jumped on jumps on another and it's a vicious cycle and a bloody noisy one at that! lol
I've been in quite a lot of pain today which is why I've wanted to do absolutely sod all, though Simon told me off before bed tonight for not cleaning out the hamsters, THREE times today I've asked him to carry them downstairs for me for me to clean them out and he's ignored me. Yet, if I carried them downstairs myself I'd get a bollocking about carrying something like that in case I spasm and drop the cage and so on. I know exactly what he means and I know it's a HUGE risk, but what else am I supposed to do? I'll carry them downstairs in the morning if I'm not overly tired. (being overly tired means definite cage dropping spasms)
I talked to Vikki about the rabbits today, more than once Simon has complained about having to do MY rabbits for me and on bad days when they've needed a proper clearout he's said things like if I'm not fit to look after them I should rehome them... problem is I don't know how serious he is because he might threaten me that but on another day he'll do them without a complaint. I discussed with Vikki about what would happen if the worse came to the worse. She informed me of one option but hopefully with no offence it won't come to that.
Although I don't feed the rabbits or clean them out it doesn't mean I love them any less, I'd like nothing more than being able to clamber into their run and feed them and clean out their toilet and give them fresh veggies and steal a cuddle off them when they are least expecting it like I used to be able to, but I just can't get in there anymore, doesn't mean that I don't love them or care about them, I watch them quite often out of the lounge window, or from Bronny's bed so I can sit on the bed and watch them out the window, usually whilst fussing Oscar who has come in and realised the opportunity for a cuddle. :) In the good weather I've sat outside with them too :)
I think I'll sign out now as I've started to fall asleep and although I've not had the forum to post all my daily crap on, I still can't think of anything to write about :S *blush*
Good Night forum friends :)

An expensive way to go
We have been looking at foolproof software for our new forum and have looked at Vbulletin, it is amazing what you can do with VBulletin it's the best software out there. The only downside to it is the cost.
You can either lease the license for £55 a year, which means it'll be £55 every twelve months, or you can buy the license outright at £100 a year. The license is required to enable software and database updates and back up should something go wrong and if there is a problem with the forum we have support to help fix it.
It really is the best out there and if we could get the active members to donate towards it, we can have a new forum in no time and with VBUlletin on our side, we're laughing. If we can install the forum as it stands in to it too we're laughing even more instead of having to start all over again heheh :)
All we need is for AFMU to help us to remove the dodgy script and then the forum will be secure so there is no back door into the forum. Although I highly dougt a server that charges £6.99 a month would exactly allow a back door in THEIR software.
The only problem is that the majority of our members are absolutely skint so cannot help out any. Especially so close to Christmas if we end up being this side or the other side. Oh bugger. Simon has given up the fight and said that the forum is not worth bothering about and not worth the money that we would have to find. I am gutted that he feels that way I really am :( I don't know what has changed his views on it all, but he has to remember that he is not as devoted to the forum as much as I am, and some of the members as a matter of fact.
We were discussing advertising last night, where the advertiser will pay to have their advert at the top of the forum for a year thus giving us money towards the forum and hosting fees that we will have to pay (there will be a £20 renewal of contract fee every 12 months so that we can continue to receive support and updates)
It's a lot of money for someone who is so skint and doesn't receive much money into their bank but in the long run the forum will be better off with all the things we have to pay for, with the safety and security of a new server and the safety of a database with no back doors or loops in the system.
Hopefully on all hopes the script that is the security leak will be one of the mods that I put on the forum and not a major part of the forum therefore breaking it all and causing it all to collapse around me and be no longer a working database.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Had a really bad night last night and woke up with a headachy head which has now turned into a headache :( I feel like crap and should be sleeping but I don't want to disappoint the children and have them not being able to do anything in the bedroom whilst I'm asleep. Though I have slept before whilst they are playing in here on the PC and on the DS so maybe....
I played sudoku yesterday and I have to say I have really gotten to like it, I never used to be able to play it but now I can do the puzzles, I cannot remember what game on the PC has the best version to play I know I have it on the Brain Training game but there's a version somewhere else on another game which is animated and I cannot remember which bloody game it is on,, I'll have to search through them all to find it lol
Dad plays sudoku and actually has a board where he can lie a situation out manually to help him win on paper, it's difficult to explain but it works for him. He loves playing sudoku :) he needs a nintento and the game sudoku quest or something so that he has lots of animated games he can play instead of writing them out on the piece of paper. Of course Mother could always let him play on hers instead heheh I think she's still addicted to Nintendogz and animal crossing to be honest. *rolls eyes* she's 55 for god sake! lmao
I wonder what games the children will be into when they get their DS's... they should get into something as they have 200 games to play! rofl Though I think that Bronny will but Euan flits around too much to be able to be addicted to one game bless him, I think he'll play footie a lot though because that's the sort of thing he would be into I think. Though he might completely surprise me and be into something totally out of his character and play it lots and lots, but I highly doubt his flitty nature will enable him to do that.
I've just put the Christmas songs on to try and make me feel a tad more Christmassy heheh. I'm sure I'll be in the mood for putting the decs on the tree eventually instead of just letting it sit there on the unit all bare. *sob* I was going to go on the forum and create a show us your Christmas Tree thread :( it's so not fair at all. That bastard MrSaFa should pay for what he has done to my precious baby of a forum, it is one of my children and now it's gone, it nags at my mind every second I'm awake and plays on my mind when I'm asleep so I end up dreaming about it again :(
Right I had better bugger off for a bit because I have a headache and I am falling asleep.
Ni Ni everyone. xx

Today's Ramble 29.11.08
Firstly I want to say shit shit shit shit shit. I cannot be without my forum! That thing is a big part of my life, goddamnit at one stage it nearly split me and Si up! We can't lose it, NO NO NO NO NO. If it's not JOOMLA and turns out to be one of the scripts I installed to improve the forum I am going to go apeshit I really am! Every single one of the installs passed as Test Successful on security.php which would lead the innocent, ie me to believe that it is indeed safe! Maybe the developer purposely left a back door open within the script and chose us to corrupt seeing that our Server also had a back door open. :( It's really REALLY not fair that we have been picked on. I mean why not pick on a nasty forum that is about nasty things, or a forum that is about role playing games online, some shite like that, not an innocent fun loving friendly family style forum that helps each other out when looking after animals etc. I am tempted to just set the new one up anyway just so we all have somewhere to go whilst we are awaiting the crap to be sorted out. Just because they have fixed the server it does not give them the right to put us in limbo on a suspended account until they can be arsed to find out where the problem is. We pay for our server space, we should be getting good customer care not sod it leave it until Monday. Not once did anyone say that they would resume on Monday so I knew it wasn't going to be worked on once they left for the weekend.
I am really annoyed and upset at this MrSaFa, he deserves bloody shooting! Seriously he does! I still cannot believe seeing it that fateful Friday morning, seeing that horrifying message on the screen that we had been hacked. :( I cannot believe the little twat went further and hacked the server too. If they had just hacked our account we would have been in receipt of much more help from the server I believe. I am just gutted.
I am sorry to go on and on about it, but the forum was everything to me, a place where I met all my bestest of friends, without the forum life would be so unfulfilled and boring, like it is now. At least, I suppose, I have my friends, but talking to them via email and on msn isn't quite as much fun as talking to them via the forum. :( *pout*
Oh well, it's probably gone forever now, all that wealth of information that we collected throughout the three whole years of existence. Gone. Vamooshed. :( I have to stop looking into the past and start looking into the future, we have to get back into gear, get new hosting, have forum software and start again. If we can fix the broken bit of the old forum I am tempted to move it across because like I said it is 3 years of valuable information.
Am looking at VBulletin software, it would cost £100 for a license but it really is the best forum software out there by far. We could also look at advertising to get revenue in to pay the hosting fees and the renewal fee for Vbulletin, which would be about £20 a year. Si said if we got the members to help us pay for it cuz we wouldn't be able to afford it all ourselves, we love the forum and all that but we certainly can't afford £100 to pay for it.
On to different matters now
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Didn't get up until lunchtime *blush* I was absolutely knackered and wanted to sleep in longer but I could hear the bellies of my children rumbling away like mad (lol not really but you know) so I had to feed them as they were absolutely starving after not being fed for well, weeks and weeks. *tee hee*
I fed them brunch and sat at the laptop hoping to get an email response from the host, it was then that I realised that they don't work weekends. *rolls eyes* I sat and kept an eye on the kids whilst they wathed TV for a short time, then Euan wanted to play on Sky Games so I paid for a 24 hour day pass for him so that he could play the games and not just the demos or the first 5 minutes of a game and then "pay up chuck" (not literally lol) comes on the screen.
I haven't had a sleep today because Emma told me on msn that she was going to pop round at some point in the afternoon to give the children their advent calendars :) bless her, really nice of her to buy them a calendar, I wish I had remembered to get Si and I a calendar each rofl
26 Sleeps til Christmas! I can't believe it heheh Mum has annoyed me about Boxing Day :( David is having his day on Christmas Day and because she wants a photo of all the kids she's invited him round on Boxing Day ASWELL which I think is highly unfair and stupid, to try and squeeze 7 adults and 7 children in the house is just bloody stupid. Well, I just hope they don't stay for too long because it's not going to be much fun considering my Brother has decided that I do not exist. :(
We're due at Simon's parents house for Christmas Day this year, which I am thoroughly looking forward to, she always puts on such a lovely spread it's really nice and I love the warm magical family atmosphere, and of course the children will not be causing problems this year because they will have their DS's to play with to keep them occupied instead of constantly nagging James or Adam to go on the racing game. James and Adam will probably be nagging them to let them have a go on their DS's lol (joke)
I know I shouldn't but I always look foward to the Christmas Dinner at Simon's parents because for some reason Christina piles so much on my plate, I actually have more than Simon and more than Gary, in fact it is more than anyone else at all! She knows I have a ravenous appetite when it comes to her dinners, they're always bloomin gorgeous! rofl :)
My Mum is exactly the opposite, it's always rations, and as my Sister is there too, I can imagine that we'll have one roast potato each... lol I know that she hasn't got a HUGE oven but still you know.... Though the food she puts on is actually nice even if there isn't much of it. Although there's only a tiny amount for some reason we never come home hungry. heheheh
I'm looking forward to Christmas this year, I'll have a Christmas pressie to open Christmas morning heheh which makes a change, normally I have to wait until we get to Simon's parents or my Mum's but I'll have the secret santa present to open instead heheh woot! I'm really looking foward to it. I know it won't be much, just a token gift, but it'll be nice to have a gift at all :D I'm excited about giving mine to, I think it'll be JUST right, will have to see :D
I have thought of another little thing that I can make out of a few other things and send to her as a keyring perhaps, as she does go out so she needs a keyring for her key/s

Bored bored bored
Simon is playing a game on his PC, just put kids to bed, now would be the time that I check the forum again for posts and reply to them and have a good old bash with them.
I THINK I managed to get in touch with everyone to tell them the status of the forum, hopefully the important ones will have all got the message, I guess it depends if the email went straight into their junk mail or not. We have done a forum wide pm before when there has been a problem so hopefully they will have already either added us as a contact or at least said that we are not junk.
I'm at stalemate at the moment, I can't get hold of AFMU to find out whether the problem has been fixed or whether we are supposed to be finding said corrupted file, even though we now cannot as we cannot get into our database or information to do anything with it, they've put us on a complete lock down and now that is it, we cannot do anything. They are not open at a weekend anyway so I can only get in touch with them when there is someone to get in touch with which is obvious but I bet they work weekends for higher paid hosting problems.
I am praying that they haven't just locked it down and are going to say, no it's not our responsibility to update files, just start again or something similar. I'm gutted I really am :( totally gutted.
I have sent the members another update with my apologies etc in it and I've not had any complaints yet. I just hope that everyone stays cushty and doesn't have a problem with any of their animals so they have to go and seek advice from other sources like our large competitors and then they find that they like it there far better in comparison to ours and never bother coming back.
I think I'm being to paranoid and dramatic, we will only lose those who were not really interested in the forum in the first place, these members will be reluctamt to leave.
Oh well, will teach me not to update the joomla sofwtare for the front end.
Well, according to Simon I keep falling asleep so I am going to pack up and go to sleep now.

Still no forum :(
I'm getting severe withdrawal symptoms from not being on the forum, other members are rather upset about it too :( It's so not fair and because they do not work on a weekend it's going to be Monday at the soonest before we sort something out, it's so not fair, because it was our fault they are not being too helpful at the moment. I don't know how many members will bother staying with us and how many members will just give up and find another forum and stay there.
I guess it depends on how many of our members are truly loyal to us. I've not heard anything from global gold either, I have paid for the first month in advance and I've not had confirmation from THEM that I now have an account and some webspace hosted by them.
Euan is playing on Sky games and really pissing Bronny and I off at the moment he is so crap at all the games and acts so thick and it's really really frustrating it really is. lol Bronny is doing my head in getting angry with Euan for being such a nob on the games lol
Am now listening to The Corrs, only when I sleep I'm banging my head up the wall now because Euan has no sense at all. I swear he is not all there in the head heheh bless his little socks. I can't believe that he acts so brainy at school yet at home he acts thick as piggy poop *rolls eyes*
Had a bad night last night, kept waking up and the hamsters were being noisy little craps and keeping me awake. Simon has said that when they go to the bridge I'm not allowed any more because they are nothing but stinky noisy little buggers :( bless them it's not their fault that they are active at times when we are trying to sleep. As for stinky as far as I'm concerned, they only stink bad enough for us to smell when they are overdue cleaning out :S erm yes they are a little overdue but it's not going to KILL them to be smelly.
I need to make some more mixture up for the ratties in a moment because have run out of their mix. I use the shunamite diet which is 5 cups of rabbit molasses, 4 cups of cereal and 1 cup pasta and 1 cup dog food. At the moment I am using puppy food because it it usually higher in protein for a baby doggy which is also ideal for growing rats. Said babies really are growing well now bless their little socks, I am sure that Hannah would be really proud of her babies right now, I just need to get them out and give them a decent photoshoot.
Right, that's me waffled on about loads for a while, will leave bloggy at that for now.

At the moment I am using puppy food because it it usually higher in protein for a baby doggy which is also ideal for growing rats. Said babies really are growing well now bless their little socks, I am sure that Hannah would be really proud of her babies right now, I just need to get them out and give them a decent photoshoot.
Right, that's me waffled on about loads for a while, will leave bloggy at that for now.

Today's Ramble 28.11.08
Well, at this present moment in time I do not know what the future of the forum is, AFMU (our host) have emailed me and stated that they think that the breech was via our account and that there must be a insecure script within our account that has caused the breech initially of our account and subsequently the whole server. Even if our account was hacked, it should not have spread to the server, their "security hole that they didn't know of" shouldn't have been there in the first place so I can't be put to blame on this.
I will await another email off them to see what is going on, I have apologised to them and explained that I have not knowingly installed any insecure scripts the only scripts that I have installed of late have been SMF modifications to supposedly improve the forum, none of them came up with an error and none of them knowingly altered the security of the database either.
I really hope that it can all be fixed and that afmu give us our account back at least so that we can have a look at what could have caused the problem in the first place, perhaps we could manually re-install the security.php file if we believed that it was that file for instance that had caused the problem.
Hopefully they can tell us exactly which file was used in the script or something I'm not too sure how it works, but if it's simply a file we can change then obviously dependant on what it does to the database, we will change it.
I just so so so want this to all go away, it's not fair, if it is our account it is not directly our fault that the server was compromised, that bit was their fault. :(
HOPEFULLY we will all wake up in the morning to our forum back up and running -1 days postings, and find an apology in my inbox telling me that it wasn't us after all and therefore we were reinstated. I can only hope. Probably a false hope, but if I go to sleep thinking that at least I'll actually go to sleep.
Nothing else to blog really, kids really enjoyed Christmas Fayre and came home with their faces painted lol, they looked wonderful! :D heheh Euan sang for the first lot of songs but refused to sing for the second lot, so he was racing around being his usual hyper let's find everything self and poor Aunty Emma was rushed off her feet trying to catch up with the little bugger trying really hard not to lose him because she worries about that more than anything because she knows that's my number one fear, her coming back in floods of tears from somewhere (anywhere!) in floods of tears because she has lost him.
Set the Christmas tree itself up tonight, will set the decorations up tomorrow night when I have seen how Oscar relates to the tree, if it shows signs of him climbing it and generally being a little shit, we'll know that it cannot go in the lounge where Oscar sleeps, although there's not really anywhere else for it to go so it would have to be packed away until another year where we have the space for it.
*sulks*
Nothing seems to be going right at the moment, every spare penny I have at the moment has got to go towards the rent which means as far as I am aware there is not a penny for Christmas Presents. Hopefully I can make 2 + 2 = 5 this year? rofl chance would be a fine thing!
Right, it's 1:50 now so I had better bugger off to sleep, kids aren't going to be bothered what time I went to sleep the night before heheh.
Ni ni everyone.

Logged in mid morning today to find the forum is gone and that the web host has been hacked. That's it, no Tamed Nature :( it's been gone all day :( I just hope when I log in in the morning that it's all back as normal and it's not just a blank mess.
I'm just devastated, totally devastated I really am I never in a million years thought it would happen to us, I know it's not us personally that's been hit but it still hurts as much because we have no forum to be on.
If we lose any members I'm going to hold AFMU personally responsible :( if and when they get back online. I just don't know how many members we are going to lose that I've not managed to tell about the forum :( I guess they are just going to presume it's gone for good. I wish I'd gotten off my fat ass and updated the member list :( Though if I find the paper list I have I will have more members that I can email. Hopefully all my loyal and long standing members will have already got the message though.
I do not want to say more about it because I am just so upset about it :(

Today's Ramble 27.11.08
Today has been a waste of a day if you ask me, I still have the headache that I tried to sleep off this morning but it's a lot better than it was. I'm falling asleep now though and will probably go to bed when we have watched the documentary about a twin who was born with two heads.
See here
Well, watched and now upstairs and not going to bed just yet, I have woken up a bit, I am only going to blog and then it's bed methinks. Simon has read a little bit of my blog and has decided that my blogs are boring and that I am boring and there must be no-one who is really interested in reading my bloggies.
To be honest even if no-one read them I would still create them because I am not typing them for a certain person, I am typing them for me, as a diary for me, because I have a shite memory and can't remember this morning half the time never mind yesterday or a few days before, in fact I've been known to forget something that has happened within hours of when it has happened and when I query myself I get really confused.
Also I've done things before that are reasonably mundane but have to be done, and then within minutes I'm asking myself whether I actually did them or not, I honestly cannot take my mmind back until the monent that I am supposed to have done that something.
Kezz & Vikk are quiet tonight, I think that they are busy sewing to be honest, they both have quite a stock of bears to make as their Christmas stock heheh I wonder if they will manage to do them in time or whether they will end up running over and having to get other gifts or make apologies, I know they are troopers though, unless the amount of bears that each of them are due to make is an unrealistic amount they won't manage it. Bless them, they have known for some time what they are going to do though so maybe they should have started sooner. It's obviously up to them how they work though innit? heheh

Morning 27.11.08
Just woken up. I woke up this morning after not much sleep anyway yet again, with a headache from hell, I had obviously slept wrong again and my sinuses were blocked too (lmao I just put blogged, I'm addicted I tell you!) which was causing a killer headache which was also making me feel ill. As soon as the children had gone off to school and I had been on lappy for a short time, I realised that I wasn't doing headache any good so I decided to try and sleep it off flat on my back to try and drain the sinuses and relieve the crick in my neck. It has relieved both for a while but I have to be careful not to slouch in the same position which helped worsen the neck in the first place.
I used to have physio on my neck because of the pain I had in it, it was only relieved when she worked on it and removed the knots of muscles, that was a huge relief it really was. I wish that I could be referred back for physio on my neck but I would have to see the doc and seeing the doc is no good and useless.
I just realised it is Thursday already? It only feels like yesterday that it was Monday. lol
I hope Janey poo is online tonight, I didn't see her at all last night, I'm hoping although this sounds bad, that she is poorly rather than dead. EEEK We always joke about not dying before seeing each other again the following evening, irony would be so evil at this point. In fact when she logs in tonight, because she will, because she's NOT dead... I'm going to give her the biggest huggle ever. Just because I will be relieved that she is indeed alive and well.

Today's Ramble 26.11.08
Well, what a day, firstly the night was as crap as ever, not only did I not get a decent night's sleep but when I did go to sleep I had bad dreams which I had to wake myself out of so that was even less sleep and even more being awake, sometimes I really do wonder why I bother jumping into bed. I woke up with a screamer of a headache too, which was because I had a muscle in my neck/shoulders that was cramped really tight in fact there is still two balls of tense pain now, they feel like lumps under the skin they are that knotted up. I think until they go away I'm not going to get rid of the headache I have had all day. I am going to try really hard to sleep on my back to alleviate my neck tonight, not sure if it will work or not.
I would like to go into town to get some real feather pillows from Dunelm if they do them, I noticed that Ikea do them from £6.99 which is good value for a pillow, I just need to hopefully get them at that price from somewhere where we don't have to put petrol in the car specifically to go to.
Simon has told me off again tonight, he has been in my paypal account borrowing money and he saw the Christmas present to a friend and because he knows I spent £20 on Secret Santa ALSO he went rather mad at me, apparently I am just giving money away and I might as well draw it out of my bank and go and hand it out to perfect strangers on the street because apparently the people online are strangers really and not people that I should be spending SO MUCH money on :( I get him in a way but it'd be different if he wanted the money or if he was buying someone something, he says that because they are not family I shouldn't have paid out so much if anything at all :( Simon just does not understand the act of generosity. I have spent in the region of £300 on him over the last few weeks and he has the nerve to complain at me for spending money on my FRIENDS? Just because he hasn't made REAL friends on the forum or probably ANY forum he just doesn't understand it.
WARNING ICKY GRUESOME PARAGRAPH ABOUT SEPTIC TOE
My left big toe has gone really bad again, I had an ingrowing bit in the corner of my toe and thought I solved that with a v shaped nick and pulling out the V, but I must have left some behind as it went septic again, only problem is because it's swollen so much and has been for so long the rest of the nail is growing and cutting into the swollen bit and causing immense pain and infection, everytime I just touch the toe it just oozes puss. I really need it seeing to, but the only problem is the appointment on 9th December is just to assess my condition and see if I need long term podiatry care instead of a one off fix. This has been waiting so long that my toes have had lots of repeated infections and I have been in so much pain, I give up. :( I know that they are not going to help me straight away on that appointment so I am going to have to put up with this pain for a while longer. It's oh so painful and oh so stinky and messy with the puss it's disgusting, I have to put a clean plaster on each day with antiseptic and it's doing NOTHING, it's not getting the swelling down or ridding me of the infection which you would think it would do.
Sorry for that gruesome information, maybe a bit graphic and perhaps a warning would have sufficed up before the entry... hmm.. yes I think I will do that. *done*
Only going to be a short blog tonight really because I don't have that much to report, using new mouse with lappy, it is pretty with pretty morphing colour on it, the label morphs from red to green to blue and back to re again which obviously gives some colours in between, like purple between blue-red, yellowy colour between red-green and a turquoise colour between green-blue which is quite nice I think that colour is my fave closely followed by the purple colour and then the "yellow". It has a setting where you can choose the dpi with the hardware, and then use software on the lappy to change it to the extreme. The good thing about it is that I don't have to move it far across the board for it to go from one side of the lappy screen to the other, it's a bit difficult to get it to click on smaller items though because I have very little fine motor control left.
Have been in quite a bit of pain today, which I wasn't dealing very well with :( I hate the big pain days because I can be quite pissy or have a bit of attitude and that is not fair on Simon or the children. :S
Remembered to order my oxygen woot, and I remembered to sort out the tax credits too, apparently I am entitled to claim all or part of a certain amount of money that was possibly unpaid to us during 2002-2003 tax year. IF it wasn't paid I can either claim it all because Anchor is not with the children anymore or part of it because he has a right to claim the rest, or none of it because he will have already cottoned on and secretly claimed for this. He never gave me a penny during that year ANYWAY never mind the tax credit I was entitled to for the children themselves. Perhaps it isn't worth even trying because I know that he would keep his hands tightly in his pockets when things were needed shopping wise, so if he had it he'll never ever pay my half back to the tax office. That's even if he is in this country.
enough about him anyway don't want more nightmares (I'm being serious)
In fact enough blogging for tonight, I'm not in the mood anymore :( *sob*

Today's Ramble 25.11.08
Nothing much to say about last night only that it was crap again, I find that if I sleep on my right hand side I am in immense pain and numbness down the whole side within minutes, yet if I sleep on my left hand side I face Simon and have been accused of often snoring at him lol so the only position I can really sleep in is on my back, I'd never be able to sleep on my front, I can hardly breathe if I lean forwards never mind actually lying on my front, no way would I even try it incase I couldn't get up again lol
My word next week is December, OH MY WORD!! *panics* I'm panicking for nothing really because we always do the shopping the week before Christmas so I can't see any change in this year lol My only annoyance is that I have spent £80 of the shopping money on grocery shopping, yes we have to eat (according to Simon) but that's £80 that could have bought more Christmas presents for my children :(
Bronny knows that Santa is pretend now, I have threatened her no Christmas if she spoils it for Euan and tells him that there is no Santa, at 6 years old it's a bit young to find out that your parents have been lying to you for the last so many years. That was the first thing that Bronny said to me, "so you have been lying to me all these years" she queried why there is a picture of her with a reindeer in the photographs that I have, I simply explained that reindeer are real, santa is not. I was asked how I know he isn't real I told her that if she wants to believe he is real then that's her choice, she doesn't believe him but she doesn't believe that I've been buying the presents all this time either rofl she's growing up really quickly :S
Isn't it strange how children have developed so quickly compared to when we were children? We were so innocent and knew nothing at the ages that girls are getting boyfriends and getting pregnant now, we didn't even know what it was or how to do it until school lessons taught us, I know that a group of people at our school were rather promiscuous but I didn't think for a minute that they were able to do such things. I'm confusing myself now but I know what I mean. Bronny knows a shit load more than she is letting on to me, I am trying to find out by way of deduction how much she knows but when I try to talk to her directly about it, I get a giggly embarrassed little girl, so out of respect for my baby girl I don't delve any further into her life.
Speaking of Bronny I have to make an apporntment at the doctors for her, she claims to have had a headache for the last 3 weeks running, and when we were talking and messing about tonight she called out in pain and said that her head was really hurting her. Not sure if she's pretending or not, I don't THINK that she is, but if I get her in with the doctors tomorrow night at least I have had her checked over. I'm probably going to be told to get her in with the opticians but she's not long had the all clear on an eye test when we lived in Gnosall :S She faked to get herself a pair of glasses but obviously the optician knew she was faking the results.
Geesh I'm tired tonight, moreso than normal, I keep falling asleep whilst trying to type this lol
Oh, I've just had a power wake, where I am wirde awake for a few moments, but now I've gone all sleepy falling asleep again. It won't be long before I'm signing out and going to sleep.
I hate Tuesdays. Well I don't but I kinda do, it takes me an hour to get the kids in bed from their bedtime at 7.30, Euan has half an hour until 8pm, and then Bron goes to bed and has half an hour til 8.30pm, by which time I've used up the entire talking to Jane time. I then only have 30 minutes with her, whih can be a lot but then again it's not really that long at all, then I'm off to watch CSI at 9pm and that finishes at 10pm, by which time she has signed out for the night.
I need to sort out the childrens' bedtimes actually because with the way they re doing it at the moment Euan is ending up going at 8pm and Bronwyn 8.30 whereas Euan's bedtime is 7.30 and Bronny's is 8. I need to put Euan to bed at 7 so that his half an hour of bedtime gives him a bedtime of 7.30 which is his proper bedtime, then Bronny's half hour goes from then which means she is in bed for 8pm. It would make things much easier and I think Euan would benefit from having an earlier bedtime, especially as he is falling asleep in the daytime at school.
Ooops it's 2am I had better bugger off to bed now :S well, just finish the bloggy wog then I might go ni ni lol
I've been tired all day, even after my sleep this afternoon I felt tired :S it has been a relatively bad day today :( which is quite usual O well, never mind.
Right I think it's time for me to go to sleep properly now I have got to get up early in the morning for school, in like, five hours time lol oops!
My word next week is December, OH MY WORD!! *panics* I'm panicking for nothing really because we always do the shopping the week before Christmas so I can't see any change in this year lol My only annoyance is that I have spent £80 of the shopping money on grocery shopping, yes we have to eat (according to Simon) but that's £80 that could have bought more Christmas presents for my children :(

I need to sort out the childrens' bedtimes actually because with the way they re doing it at the moment Euan is ending up going at 8pm and Bronwyn 8.30 whereas Euan's bedtime is 7.30 and Bronny's is 8. I need to put Euan to bed at 7 so that his half an hour of bedtime gives him a bedtime of 7.30 which is his proper bedtime, then Bronny's half hour goes from then which means she is in bed for 8pm. It would make things much easier and I think Euan would benefit from having an earlier bedtime, especially as he is falling asleep in the daytime at school.
Ooops it's 2am I had better bugger off to bed now :S well, just finish the bloggy wog then I might go ni ni lol
I've been tired all day, even after my sleep this afternoon I felt tired :S it has been a relatively bad day today :( which is quite usual O well, never mind.
Right I think it's time for me to go to sleep properly now I have got to get up early in the morning for school, in like, five hours time lol oops!

Today's Ramble 24.11.08
ooops I've been complained at for not writing a blog yesterday lol I didn't realise it was that popular! I thought my blog was bleeding boring rofl
Anyway, today's blog is here, I'm starting it now lol
Last night was horrible, I kept waking up not knowing where the hell I was, I kept thinking I should have been in one of the very many houses I have lived in before, was really strange, I know that I was waking up because I kept needing the toilet and I had not as full a bladder when I got up this morning as normal.
Euan was in a wonderful mood this morning, I was just doing the last button up of his shirt when I remembered that it was non-uniform day, lucky because they would have been REALLY pissed if they saw someone in non-uniform on the way to school they'd have a tantrum and insist they were not going to school unless they had no uniform. They went off to school happy though which is the main thing, no flids at all from Euan which is a big thing. :)
I went straight on lappy when they left for school and apart from my sleep I haven't been off it since :S rofl I'm so bad lol I'm so addicted to my lappy :( maybe it's a bad thing heheh, I'm sitting here on it whilst I'm watching TV with Simon and I don't think I've actually spoken to him apart from asking him for a cuppa. :S *blush*
I had a sleep this afternoon and I don't think it revived me AGAIN sometimes my daytime naps can give me a power surge but other times they make me feel worse.
Spoke to Argos today, the amount of money they will give us off the new bed that we want in replacement for the bed that we have now is dependant on which bed we want to replace it with, I guess they have a guideline pricelist of what they are allowed to deduct from an item which is why they need to know what we are looking at before they can say like "look for the inconvenience which has now occurred twice, we will give you £X amount discount off the bed you are now looking at. Was given the address for where we need to send the cheque in to pay the difference on the bed, need to dig out the paperwork again so that we can type up a draft letter to get the cheque sent in to get the bloody bed sorted, I'm sick of having one thing after another wrong with it, I fear that it would continue out of the 1 year warrantee period so we would end up with a duff bed and no way of getting money back or getting another replacement.
I have to say though that I am very much looking forward to sleeping on a REAL divan bed which has a sprung base and is very comfortable compared to the pile of shit we are sleeping on now.
Was supposed to have ordered my oxygen today but I forgot so I have to put it on the "to do" list to do tomorrow, if I don't Simon will have a go at me because he's been reminding me for days now. I'm going to ask for two cylinders because the one cylinder wasn't filled to the top when it was given us it was only just in the green which is crap because that's a good few hours of oxygen missing, just because some prat at filling level decided to move on to the next one or give up work that day when the oxygen wasn't filled up. We were offered the new concentrator and conserver combined but to be honest although I liked it and wanted to try it, Simon didn't like it and didn't like the idea of how noisy it was for the portable side of things compared to how silent apart from the breathing pfft noise the cylinder is. In the end I suppose it IS up to him as he is the one that has to carry it around as my carer as there is no bag for it so it would need to hang loosly off the wheelchair with some kind of contraption made for it, or a rucksack as there is no bag made especially for it like there is the cylinders + conservers. Also when on a cylinder with conserver it gives about roughly 6-7 hours of breathing at normal rate on it whereas this new fandangled machine would need charging after 3 hours maximum. It can be charged by a car but only one with 10V charging points, but the car is a 12V system. *rolls eyes a lot* basically it's just not a good system. When they improve it's carriability and manoeuverability (sp) and the time that it holds charge for, I might be interested.
Well I've waffled on about a load of crap tonight haven't I? rofl
My ears are not right today, with the constant mucus running down from my nose down my throat etc, it has caused my ears to be all blocked up and mucky, and I cannot hear very well, actually my hearing is shite! rofl my god are my ears itchy too EEEK really itchy I'd easily itch them with a scalple they are that itchy :S
I have had episodes the last few days where I HAVE to close my eyes, I am still conscious of what is happening but then I'm suddenly out and I'm woken up by my head dropping to one side of me or backwards or forwards, the jolt of my head wakes me up heheh. i've done that a few times in the last hour or so but I don't actually feel tired inbetween episodes.
That's it from me now I'm going to end up waffling about dreams and daydreams in a moment and I won't want to finish what I am saying.
Ni Ni.

Today's Ramble 22.11.08
Was naughty from lunchtime onwards and let Bronny and Euan on the PC and DS instead of doing their homework or occupying themselves or watching television, tomorrow I'm going to sit downstairs with them and help them to do their homework so that at last we can get back into the routine of homework every weekend, we also need to get back into the reading routine, with the novelty of lappy taking over I am neglecting the childrens' chores of a night and of course they're not complaining or they'll moan that they've not read at bedtime when it is too late anyway. I cannot record Bronny's reading as her reading diary got soaked in the flood so now she has none because the school have replaced her book but not her diary.
Euan was a little bit naughty tonight, he just constantly wanted to go on the PC, the DS is becoming mundane and boring for him and the novelty has now worn off, he'd rather play games on the PC, I can understand why the novelty of the DS has worn off, it's because I only have like 3 games that they can play, Bronny can get stuck in with the zoo but she would rather be on the PC too *rolls eyes* hopefully when they have their OWN DS's at Christmas they will play with them a long time with 200 games to get through it would take them all Christmas week to have a good look and try that many games! rofl Hopefully they are all playable and worth playing, I'm not thinking they will be duds, I'm actually meaning the actual game play of the game really.
Asked some more questions on the froggy forums about dart frogs, hoping that if there are members that use all the forums I am cross posting on that they don't get pissed off and blart out that I have asked the same question on other forums because I have been careful to ask specific questions on each forum, the more help I get from one forum that will be the forum that I choose as my base for information. Bit of a jack way to do it really but that is the way I am playing it, I know I'd be pissed if I found someone was doing that on our forum, but I'm staying unknown in these forums, so if they do get pissed off they are just pissed off with the member and not the person, they can't really attack me the person. Besides you can bet a pound to a penny that is what other people do.
Some twat is letting off fireworks again at this time of night (22:54) though I suppose it's better than the midnight they were letting them off the other week.
A few of Simon's spiders are out of their hiding places tonight, some of them are truly beautiful, a lot of them look the same to me, the untrained eye, but looking at the colourings they are GOING to be really pretty spiders, I'm guessing Simon wouldn't have bought them if he didn't think they were going to be pretty. heheh
Simon is trying to persuade himself that he wants a banana milkshake now, we have banana milkshake mix, we have milk and we have vanilla icecream so now he is off to get some. Hopefully the concoction he makes will taste nice otherwise it'll be a bit of a waste of money. *waits and sees what he says about it*
lmao he's just come up with a pint tankard with a banana milkshake with a big dollop of cornish icecream in the top. Cornish Icecream is thicker so has floated instead of melting quite quickly into the milk making a McD famous Milkshake heheh I'm sure we could name it something to match it's description. Banana float perhaps, or Cornish Banana Float heheh
What am I doing, naming a bleeding milkshake! Jebus I am getting sad in my old age lol. Speaking of old age, haven't seen rabbit John popping on the forum lately, I talk to him occasionally in pm but I don't really talk to him as much as I used to. Never mind as long as he is well that is all that matters.
I know my blogs are getting shorter, but that's it from me tonight.. cannot think of anything more to put and my imagination is on a go slow tonight so I'll leave it to sleep with the rest of my brain, just enough is awake to allow me to physically and mentally do this lol I wonder how much brain is actually active right now, would be fun to find out.

Morning Ramble 22.11.08
Am listening to my Christmas music at the moment, Walking in the air by Aled Jones is on at the moment, and to think what he gets up to now, such an innocent boy lol
Had a really crap night's sleep last night, I couldn't get comfortable at all :( also my nose kept getting blocked up and I kept waking up feeling like I was bursting for the toilet but when I sat up ready to go, I didn't need to go so I had to lie back down and struggle to get to sleep again *rolls eyes*
I think I've scared my friends off from reading my blog because it's no good now I'm talking about my health in it, I try not to "moan" about things and I think I succeed, I just say it how it is without emotions, that way it's more bearable, if I'm all woe is me I would want to punch me in the face never mind anyone else (wanting to punch me, not the other way round lol)
Euan is playing on my PC, Bronny is on the DS, they've both got homework to do so we need to be getting on with it really but I don't feel well I feel like I'm in need of a sleep actually. Simon has gone out to meet the lad that is buying his exoterra cube with light their gps sent them into the middle of the back of beyond so Simon has suggested to meet at the Orbital retail park because that will come up on their gps so they can find him.
It's a bit out of place for both of them really considering they are only down the road but I guess it's better to meet somewhere where there will be a few people anyway heheh. Hopefully they are genuine people.
I'm no closer to getting these frogs than when I didn't even know I wanted them, apart from I now have the exoterra sitting on my desk, Simon should really empty it so that I can start building, but I need that substrate that goes under the cocofibre apparently whatever it is. If I must have real plants instead of fake ones then I want to get it right and I hope that they are not pants that grow like mad so that I am constantly trimming them back. Whatever I go for I HAVE to have at LEAST one flowering plant in there to make it look beautiful.
I have asked if I can just use cocofibre because I have never heard of the stuff that I have been advised to put in there first underneath a gravel tidy and then the coco fibre? Perhaps it is something that creates drainage to keep the roots from sitting in a pool of water.
Well, that's it for now :) huggles

Today's Ramble 21.11.08
Well I suppose I had better spare the time to write up about yesterday and then change the time so it comes up as yesterday's posting and doesn't confuse anyone.
Have you noticed that a lot of words that used to be joined up not that long ago now have to be separated? incase is now in case, anymore is now any more and there are loads of other's that I cannot remember quite now but they have been changed in recent "dictionaries" especially ones that are made for firefox and other applications, it's not as if they are wrong either every internet dictionary corrects me and even dictionary.com corrects me!
For some reason it doesn't recognise words such as wouldn't and shouldn't or doesn't - any apostrophed word all the time either, perhaps that is a bug though.
New series of the IT crowd started tonight and we missed it, fortunately channel four also have a player on the internet to repeat programmes that have been missed etc.
I notice that I'm not getting any or many comments on my blog any more, perhaps my blog has become boring and my dearest friends do not read it any more? :(
I really enjoyed our conversations with both Charlene, and Kerry and Vikki last night we had a right laugh, I think it was because I was playing around with them, they like me when I'm hyper rofl Vikki and I were singing Christmas songs and stuff lol Kezz thought we were terribly nutty lol
I don't actually know what made me so hyper it must have been the tablets rofl, it soon died down though which was sad really because I soon became boring lol I wish I was hyper all the time it would make life a hell of a lot more bearable heheh.
Well I know I've not said much tonight but I want to go to bed now so I'm going to bed now.
Ni ni.

Today's Ramble 21.11.08
Firstly OOPS, I just typed "Today" in the title and accidentally pressed enter, so until I publish this edit, I have Today as a title and a blank whatsimajig rofl
Am in the middle of singing Christmas songs with Vikki in WLM at the moment lmao how sad am I? rofl poor Vik, I've got her doing it too lol mwahahahah I will send everyone as fruit and nut loopy as me!
I am so hyper tonight, at least I was, I can feel the effect of my meds kicking in slowly it's like a curtain of mongedness falling down on me heheh
I'll finish this tomorrow, I'm already making lots of typos.

Morning 21.11.08
I'm going to give up on going to sleep I think, the only time I manage to get a couple of hours without waking up is daytime. :(
I had a really bad night's sleep again last night, I kept waking up and was in pain, or gagging on the mucus again a couple of times that I woke up I ended up having to nudge Simon because he was grinding his teeth.
I'm wondering whether I will sleep remotely better on a new bed? I'm going to call Argos later on and see what they say about the bed price because the one we have at the moment has a catalogue price of £239.99, and Argos are saying that I bought it at £209.99 so that is what price I'm getting towards a new bed, but I can't remember if I added some money towards it to get the different bed when I replaced the faulty bed this time.
Well we'll have to see, I can always work out the replacement date and see online banking and see if I did pay a little bit extra towards the new bed, I'm sure it wouldn't have gone up by £30 in a matter of 4 months if that?
Oh well, off out soon, Simon has agreed to meet someone in Tamworth and is selling her one of his exoterra tanks, that's at 12pm so we'll be going out just before 11:30am. I'm planning on dragging Simon to Matalan afterwards so that I can use my vouchers that I had last Christmas or for my birthday off Simon's parents lol
Ta ta for now.

Today's Ramble 20.11.08
Well, what a day, I'm exhausted because I've not had a sleep, really regretting it now :S I wish I'd ignored Simon and gone to sleep instead of letting him disturb me with his fiddling and faffing, instead at 2 something I got up and went on my lappy bearing in mind that I'd only gone to bed just after 1 lol so I'm really knackered and in need of bed already and I think it is going to be some time before Simon decides that it is bedtime :S
Made some more ratmix up tonight and added a handful of sultanas to treat them :) that's probably one per scoop but that's good, as long as they don't all end up in the same bowl feeding the same rat rofl
By the sound of the way they are drinking i'm going to need to change their water before I go to bed so I don't have a reoccurence of the other day when they all were pretty buggered with no water and drank for a good 5 minutes solid each when I actually gave them some water.
Just sprayed some foot deodorant in the bathroom and had to shut the bathroom door so that I do not end up killing Simon's frog with it, I can bearly breathe now I inhaled most of it and it wasn't very good I tell you it was like standing right next to a dry ice machine and inhaling that, only it doesn't taste sweet like icing sugar it tastes like bleeding soap. I'll know not to use that again in a hurry, or do tinsy winsy little squirts so that it doesn't blow so much gas and powder out instead of deodorant liquid, perhaps the powder is to deodorise, if it is I won't be using it again as it will just clog up on the feet if they are sweaty and then there is room for infection to set in bleugh (my feet get infected with the slightest of things, I have what looks like a wart/verruca (same thing?) on the tip of my big toe at the corner where skin meets nail? well, underneath that was a mass of big thick green puss last time I tried to treat it.
I have my actual appointment for that coming up on 9th December, must remember so that we actually go to it and don't miss it, I'm not cancelling this time for any reason, I postponed the last one back in October for Simon's filter delivery to come and it turned out in the end that OK we were lucky that I did but that isn't the point, I'm not missing it again this time.
I have my rheumatoid appointment too but that is with a different consultant than the one I thought I would be seeing so I'm thinking that there is a chance I am not going to get the answers that I really wanted to get... Although as long as said person believes in FM, if I have it then he will agree that I have it and then and only then can I be referred to pain management again to see if we can get me out of bed these days.
Simon seems to be really understanding or non=caring about me being in bed for the last few days, hopefully he is actually OK about it. We are off to Tamworth tomorrow for Si to meet the woman that is buying one of his tanks off him. She's coming from Nuneaton. I want to go to Matalan to spend my long awaited vouchers too, so hopefully he won't mind mooching around Matalan with me. I need a couple of new tunic style tops, some casual stuff and perhaps another pair of going out places trousers or maybe even a nice long skirt, will have to see what is on offer tomorrow.
My ratties really are attacking that water bottle, I'd say it'll definitely be empty before we go to bed so I will remember to top it up before we go, I normally check on them very last thing anyway and I would notice that my babies have no water.
Water done, time for bed now, going to have an early night tonight.
Good night blog.

Made some more ratmix up tonight and added a handful of sultanas to treat them :) that's probably one per scoop but that's good, as long as they don't all end up in the same bowl feeding the same rat rofl
By the sound of the way they are drinking i'm going to need to change their water before I go to bed so I don't have a reoccurence of the other day when they all were pretty buggered with no water and drank for a good 5 minutes solid each when I actually gave them some water.

Morning Ramble 20.11.08
What an utterly shit night's sleep, it started by waking up at 3am this morning ,bearing in mind I'd only gone to sleep at 1am ish was the last time I looked at the clock, I woke up in absolute agony, real agony, crying pain because I had obviously spent the last 2 hours in the same position which is not good for me, I had sore points all over, my right hand side was all painfully numb and I was just a bag of shit, I also had a bad head from sleeping with a crick in my neck.. because of this and not being able to get comfortable on my left side, I lay on my back, and no word of a lie - the millisecond I decided to do that I had a stream of mucus running down from my nasal area down into my stomach from then on, and I had indigestion from the apple juice and apple eaten before bed (one of my stupidest moves yet) and I was just shitty shit shit, I couldn't get to sleep, I kept gagging on the snot but unless I cleared my throat and hoiked it up every five minutes, I had no choice but to lie quietly and swallow (mucus is STILL flowing freely even now!) so, lying awake, headache from a cricked neck, gagging on mucus as long as me arm, and not having fun at all since 3am this morning, I should have given up and got up, at least every time the apple repeated it wouldn't have been able to wash it's acid up into my throat if I was sitting up. Not sure whether Simon would be too impressed with me going on the laptop at 3am though, to be honest I'm wondering why I ever bothered going to bed at all. To this effect I have immediately, upon coming back upstairs from sending kids off to school, changed my pillows back to the 30 year old feather monsters instead of trying the new fandangled hollowfibre shit that feels like I'm not lying on a pillow yet manages to give me a crick in the neck and make me sweat a great deal. Bronny can have one and the other be left for spare.
I thought that this morning was going to be hell, Euan was being constantly riled by Bronny, constantly beating her up, mouthing off at me, having a go at me, I thought yep, another morning that Simon takes Bronny and I have to bed and plead til my face bleeds for him to go back again and take Euan... but come time for getting off to school he was absolutely golden, put his coat and gloves on put his PE kit on his back and carried his book bag and went off on his way.... needless to say it was Bronny that was having the pissy fits this morning and she ended up starting to cry about the way everyone is always horrible to her at school, usually this breaks my heart and I cry with her but I'm afraid it received a very cold, "oh whatever Bronny" this morning *blush* well, I ask you, every blinkin day she's moaning she wants to move schools etc etc.. I keep telling her every single school she's been to so far has been the same. Problem is that all the other children have been to camp together and made bonds, all the other children have been at the school since they started school so they've built bridges and made good friends, Bronny is still relatively a newbie so she's got a lot to live up to.
Anyway, here I am now, on the precious lappy when I really should be catching up on sleep from this morning, but I don't want to waste the day, although if this headache, which I've not medicated myself for yet, gets any worse I will go to bed. To sleep, as I'm propped up in bed as I type this ;)

Today's Ramble 19.11.08
Simon's parents are asking the impossible on the bed, they want us to complain and try and get a more expensive price out of them for the bed that is now more expensive but we cannot do that, I know that we'll not be able to do it, I think that if he wants a higher price bartering he should do it himself to be honest but I don't think that I'm going to get anywhere because they won't put me through to the customer services manager for a start. *rolls eyes*
I will have to talk to Simon about it tomorrow because I paid £209.99 at the time there's no good me arguing about getting the higher price that it is today as a credit note, because 1 they don't do credit notes for damaged items, though they will replace the bed with the same bed which happens to be at the new price of £239.99 so Simon's Dad is trying to get me to barter them to allow me that price of a new bed, I can see where he's coming from but firstly trying to get through to a customer service manager is impossible and then when we do get through to him we have the problem that I have to be strong enough to argue what I want without the customer service manager telling me to fook off.
Geesh this laptop is running hot tonight, it's really making me overheat, though saying that it has been running since about 6pm :S poor thing getting battered by me like that rofl
Have managed to transfer everything apart from the music over to the new lappy, I'll do the music tomorrow I just couldn't be arsed today.. don't think I'm going to be able to transfer the videos as I think they might all be too big will have to have a look, only have a 2gig flash drive which I thought was enough but merely my documents took up 31 gig of space, that was fun, transferring it across 16 times to get it all :S rofl it took me forever!
my pictures took me forever too, I've not looked how many files I have in there
Health wise been in a LOT of pain today, my feeties have hurted from walking on them and my bones in my legs feel bruised, I have been stuck in bed for most of today thank god I have a laptop now. I'm just thinking it's a goodjob that I upgraded to a usb mouse because this lappy hasn't got a slot for a ps/2 mouse heheh.
Simon is looking at buying an ethernet printer for us to use, it will be an all in one printer scanner copier and even a fax machine, fax is good there have been times when we've had to fax something through and we've not had the facility to do so, now we will have. Will save on postage if it is something we can just whack on a fax
Simon posted his millipedes out today, cost him a bit of money but I guess it was worth it, he has been paid by paypal and they're off on their way to their nnew home, I can't get over how different it is in the none furry world, no one bats an eyelid when you rehome something in the none furry world, it's normal to swap and change what you want to do, all his mantids have gone off to their new homes too, I can't believe Simon has let everything go for such a cheap price though, I think he's mad. He's impatient though, once he wants something done it has to be done there and then, he won't wait months to get the right price for each millipede and earn over £200 he'd rather get them gone at a lower price which was DE|FINITELY Less than £100
Virginia sells her pedes out at £10 a throw with £8 postage, that's £18 for one millipede, that is bloody expensive, Simon could have cut in and sold them at a cheaper rate and still managed to make a decent price on each one, for all he knows he could have sold them to a person that has no intentions of keeping them but merely to sell them on for a lot more than he sold them for.
Rabbits were hungry today, Simon fed them this morning and they practically threw themselves at him with pitchforks to get the food, and they were still munching a good hour later. They get two bowls of food to last them 2 days which is more than enough because the bowl is full to overflowing, maybe they should be getting a little more while the colder months are upon us though, I might find another food bowl to be filled up for them til it warms up again, don't want them getting FAT though.
Hammies are getting on abit now, gotta start preparing myself for the dreaded you know what, although they might live longer than average, saying that what am I talking about they are only 1 year old rofl, how long do they live for anyway I cannot remember.
ffs I swear I just saw something move in the shadows over the other end of the room on Simon's desk, it wasn't anything really small either, the locusts didn't get freaked out though so either it wasn't visible to them or I imagined it, I am hallucinating a lot lately, visual AND audio hallucinations :S I think the audible ones are worse though because I honestly think I hear the think but it's not possible, like a ting of a dainty bell at gone midnight and things like that.
Right that's me done, going to have a game of mahjonng then I'm off to bed peoples.

beds beds beds
You guessed it, we need a new bed again, bought the new bed in May, replaced the knackered bed in July and now it's buggered again and we need to replace it. The mattress is absolutely fucked and the draws on the base are knackered too :( stupid bed, stupid stupid.
We're hoping to get a sprung bed, one with springs and upholstery on the bottom part of the divan and a memory foam mattress on top, unfortunately our bed was less money than we thought it was so we don't know whether we have the funding for it :( probably not :( which means we're stuck in having yet another cheap shit bed that will undoubtedly break again. *rolls eyes*
Why do beds have to be so expensive? To get the bed we actually want we're probably looking at £500odd :( stupid stupid.
:( *sulks*

Today's Ramble 18.11.08
What a wonderful day today has been!
Lappy arrived today :D woot. I've been on it for ages, first I went on it when it arrived but then I got tired so had to put it down, I wanted to play on it all day but I knew that it was going to be a mistake if I did that so I behaved.
I've been on it practically since the kids got home from school this evening, they of course went straight on the pc and DS, it's becoming too much of a norm I think I'm going to have problems when they can't go on them :S
Though in a month's time + 1 week they'll be playing on their own DS's and not wanting to use the PC (hopefully) lol so it'll be pretty much redundant unless I go on it to do a gimp image or something that I cannot do on here, though saying that I'd be able to just put a mouse on here should I decide that I prefer to use the laptop over the PC.
Health wise the laptop will do me good because I'll be able to keep my legs raised instead of them hurting because they're in the down position, I exercise a little bit by moving my legs every now and again to stop them going stiff, but at the pc desk I struggle with position I can never get to sit straight and look at the monitors face on so I'm always in an uncomfortable position.
Euan was well behaved tonight and actually agreed to come off the pc and go to bed at bedtime I nearly had a turn he was being that good about it, only trouble was after I'd settled him in bed was that I'd left the door open and left the landing light on for him as he was scared and had been thinking of scary things which obviously cause tension and upset before bed which also leads way to bad dreams. Simon closed his door and switched the light off and Euan swiftly became rather hysterical especially as he knew that I was going downstairs and not staying upstairs. I had to calm him down, leave his door open but agree to come back upstairs shortly which I did but he was asleep poor little man he got really worked up about it bless him.
Cockroaches are being ever noisy, it's actually quite freaky listening to them moving around, scurrying lil horrible creatures that they are, I hope that his spider that is still eating them hurries up and eats them to get rid of the bleeding things.
Hamsters better not keep me awake tonight lil craps rofl, my pet name for them is called Pompoms because they look like the little pompoms you see on the end of tassles for a furry coat or something or tied onto laces on eskimo boots rofl. Incidentally, High School Musical slippers have pompoms on them too.
I'm blank for bloggin tonight so that's all you get out of me i'm afraid :P
Nite nite
Afternoon Ramble 18.11.08
Well lappy arrived today with plenty of time to have a play on it before I went to bed :) I'm loving it, actually being able to do something whilst the kids have my other items of electrical fun and no I'm not talking vibrating either lmao *what?!*
Euan was naughty this morning on the way to school, he was a little way behind Simon and was shouting at Simon and basically showing off with the girl that he was walking to school with. He had a time out in his bedroom for that, Simon does not like being made to look a fool by anyone so Euan was punished, I would have told him off in front of his friend thus embarrassing him personally, but whatever, it's Simon's choice how he does things.
I still have to install various other pieces of software, I haven't installed office for a start (open office) and I have to install a dictionary for this laptop for firefox and I cannot remember how the heck to do it.
*goes off to fidget with bits.*

Good Morning 18.11.08
Up earlier this morning so I'm downstairs by 8am just in case I am first on the list his morning, chance would be a fine thing but you can always hope :S heheh will get the kids downstairs in a minute and sort them with breakfast, have just asked Simon to get the children up out of bed and down for breakfast.
Typical, on a weekend morning the kids will be up earlier than the birds but on a school morning they have to be woken up *rolls eyes* I long for the day when they are up late at weekends and I'm complaining at them to get their asses out of bed, I actually long for the day when they are old enough to be trusted to get up and go downstairs and make their own breakfast and stuff like that. I love them to bits but I'd love them to be partially independant too rofl
This waiting game is horrible, I WANT MY LAPPY NOW! rofl though I've waited an absolute decade for a laptop (slight exaggeration there) and I am sure that I can wait for a few hours longer. lol I have wanted a laptop ever since laptops came out! ;)
Right, now to start getting ready upstairs on the pc, getting bookmarks stored and stuff ready to just get sorted on the lappy. Laters gaters.

Today's Ramble 17.11.08
What a balls up last night! I typed my usual nightly essay up on here, the DS an although I knew I was nodding off I didn't bother saving the essay, I then jolted up sometime around 1-2am and looked at the screen and there was a few vvvbbcbb on it where it looked as though someone had crawled across the bottom of the keyboard so I must have managed to select the whole text and put those few leters there instead. To say I was pissed off would be an understatement, however I bit my cheek and closed down and went to sleep. No point starting again as when I went to the loo before closing down I was falling asleep standing up never mind when snuggled back down nicely in bed lol
Today has been strange I've been REALLY poorly but in exceptionally high spirits because tomorrow is receiving of laptop day :) WOOHOO lol I'm so stupidly excited but then if you saw me struggling to sit at the PC you would understand. If you saw me upset and sad because I can't communicate with my friends you would too. It also means that I can sit and watch TV when Si is watching and still be able to log in and do stuff :)
Of course if I had a life none of this would bother me, I'd be out working and having a great time with my family when I'm not working.
Euan was naughty at school again and in Choir practice he got kicked out too. This is VERY VERY unike Euan to be naughty at school he is normally golden boy. I am going to get him back in at the doctors because this behaviour has only been really bad every day, opposed to once a week, since he had that nasty bump to his head :( I know of someone who had an unchecked head injury and their personality greatly changed and after various doctors and hospital appointments it turned out he'd had a bleed on the brain which they had to sort as it was causing pressure on the brain incidentally he died about a month later, never knew if the stories were true or what he actually died of either, saying that the bit about the personality was true.... *thinks*
I'll be so relieved when Simon has got rid of the noisy cockroaches and starts feeding locusts again, I wouldn't be remotely perturbed to find a stray locust like I'd be scared to find a stray cockroach, I'd scream the house down if I found a cockroach in the bed for instance. *shudders at the thought*
I would probably feed the fwoggies pinheads actually and woodlice and springtails are on the list too although looking at Simon's issues with springtail explosions (population) I won't bother with them I'll probably find a way of storing and feeding pinnies to them
Fwog will be fed locusts :) that is if he gives her up to me :D although I don't think there will be space for Fwog as well, though, if I gave up one of my monitors..... lol when I'm used to working with the laptop screen, I will probably more willing to give up one monitor to just have one then I will be able to fit more creatures on my desk lol (I'm getting as bad as Simon!)
hmm what does a tropical setup look like? heheh *will have to look at pictures of set ups to give me some ideas, I have some ideas in mind but will have to think, an absolutely ideal set up would be with a waterfall and either pump or reservoir in it that I would fill up now and again therefore giving a constant flow but then again how would I remove water from the bottom without a pump on a continuous flow.? HA I'm so stupid rofl nice ideas in my head though just shame I can't put them into practice would like to have a shallow water dish as well as a pond like area so that they have somewhere to lay spawn should they actually have any not quite sure what I would need to do if they actually bred though heheh
I'm really excited about getting my bumblebees though as you can most probably tell, need to find out from Simon if eco-earth is coconut fibre or not as that's what we're used to well Simon is not me :) the set up has to be absolutely perfect and maintain a steady 80% humidity before I even order the fwoggies.
I could have typed this 3 times already, in the time it has taken to type what I have now, on the laptop *rolls eyes* tonight is the last sleep heheh, this time tomorrow I'll be shutting up shop and going to bed as I'd have already typed my daily ramble. heheh
I'm off now as fallin asleep and, as I nag the kids when they are excited about something.. The sooner I go to sleep the sooner I'll be waking up for morning :D lol

I am going to get him back in at the doctors because this behaviour has only been really bad every day, opposed to once a week, since he had that nasty bump to his head :( I know of someone who had an unchecked head injury and their personality greatly changed and after various doctors and hospital appointments it turned out he'd had a bleed on the brain which they had to sort as it was causing pressure on the brain incidentally he died about a month later, never knew if the stories were true or what he actually died of either, saying that the bit about the personality was true.... *thinks*
I'll be so relieved when Simon has got rid of the noisy cockroaches and starts feeding locusts again, I wouldn't be remotely perturbed to find a stray locust like I'd be scared to find a stray cockroach, I'd scream the house down if I found a cockroach in the bed for instance. *shudders at the thought*
I would probably feed the fwoggies pinheads actually and woodlice and springtails are on the list too although looking at Simon's issues with springtail explosions (population) I won't bother with them I'll probably find a way of storing and feeding pinnies to them
Fwog will be fed locusts :) that is if he gives her up to me :D although I don't think there will be space for Fwog as well, though, if I gave up one of my monitors..... lol when I'm used to working with the laptop screen, I will probably more willing to give up one monitor to just have one then I will be able to fit more creatures on my desk lol (I'm getting as bad as Simon!)
hmm what does a tropical setup look like? heheh *will have to look at pictures of set ups to give me some ideas, I have some ideas in mind but will have to think, an absolutely ideal set up would be with a waterfall and either pump or reservoir in it that I would fill up now and again therefore giving a constant flow but then again how would I remove water from the bottom without a pump on a continuous flow.? HA I'm so stupid rofl nice ideas in my head though just shame I can't put them into practice would like to have a shallow water dish as well as a pond like area so that they have somewhere to lay spawn should they actually have any not quite sure what I would need to do if they actually bred though heheh
I'm really excited about getting my bumblebees though as you can most probably tell, need to find out from Simon if eco-earth is coconut fibre or not as that's what we're used to well Simon is not me :) the set up has to be absolutely perfect and maintain a steady 80% humidity before I even order the fwoggies.
I could have typed this 3 times already, in the time it has taken to type what I have now, on the laptop *rolls eyes* tonight is the last sleep heheh, this time tomorrow I'll be shutting up shop and going to bed as I'd have already typed my daily ramble. heheh
I'm off now as fallin asleep and, as I nag the kids when they are excited about something.. The sooner I go to sleep the sooner I'll be waking up for morning :D lol

Ramble 16.11.08
This is not here because I fell asleep after typing a whole blog last night and my DS battery died and shut down so it didn't save. At least my laptop arrives tomorrow though which means no more losing blogs because I'm a willy wonka rofl
Sorry.
Sorry.

Today's Ramble 15.11.08
Why oh why?
MSN/WLM whatever they want to call it these days causes me nothing but problems, I'm always pissing SOMEONE off, I wish I never installed the bloody thing, especially the stupid new beta version that doesn't work properly.
----------
I have received a massive bollocking off Simon tonight, for spending £20 on my secret santa, he is angry that have spent that much on my SS when they are just someone online when I could have spent £20 on my parents. It's always a waste of money when it's not for him though!
Christmas shopping is going to be soooo much fun this year, especially as I can't control the trolley as well as myself.
Ffs it is 00:14 and someone is letting off a whole bunch of fireworks! Are they insane?! Trouble is if you phoned the police to complain the police would say that noise pollution isn't in their jurisdiction any more, phone the council and obviously the council is a 9-5 place *rolls eyes* which basically boils down to "shut up and put up it's nowt to do wiv us" there is no justice these days, no justice at all.
----------------
Speaking of no justice, in the Baby P case the first report stated that the biological Dad saw him often, how come he didn't notice the weightloss and the injuries, surely he would have witnessed SOMETHING?!
--------------------
I'm looking at getting a couple of dart frogs to live in the taller one of the exo-terras that Simon has up for grabs, I have tonight joined the reptile forums to ask advice and information on them according to Simon I posted completely in the wrong place and will get far more replies and therefore advice that's needed

Today's Ramble 14.11.08
Oh buggers has today been a sod, I've been in pain a lot and Euan had a day at school where his teacher said he had been "horrendously behaved" which is very very bad for him, normally he's a little sweetheart at school. Looks like it's getting far worse, we've had bad behaviour EVERY night this week with putting him to bed, perhaps it's building up to something, it took me a whole hour to put him to bed tonight after him threatening me, throwing things at me, swearing at me, shouting constantly, even Simon threatening he'd smack his bum didn't work (because he knows he wouldn't *rolls eyes*) I'm at the end of my tether with him now, nothing worked, even me trying to calm him down didn't work he just kept getting all angry again and ignoring him made him even angrier and he started trying to attack Bronny, poor Bronny was almost in tears because of him. She gets scared of him and she worries about what he's doing to me, she panics that he'll kill me, not with hitting me but by making me all worked up she thinks he'll kill me one of these days, I keep telling her that won't happen but she doesn't believe me, she just gets upset to the point of tears and often in tears when he "flids"
Today has been a day which has gone really slow, I want it to be Tuesday NOW lol I want my laptop here right now lol I can't understand why they are going to take so long to deliver it, from yesterday when it said with courier, til Tuesday, I guess that's a 48 hour delivery excluding the weekend, pretty crap really but I guess it depends what Dell have paid for the delivery. Another annoying thing is that they have now knocked another £20 off my laptop and a free colour upgrade (casing) is on offer on the laptop I have chosen, why couldn't they have done that 2 weeks ago? grrrrr?! rofl
*stops complaining*
Simon is struggling to get the Ubuntu live CD to work with his PC a the minute because he wants to show it to his Dad and persuade his Dad to go for it to keep him protected from viruses as he is quite often falling for scams in fake emails and ending up installing a virus *rolls eyes* I'm just glad that my Dad isn't as daft.
Mum is apparently flying back from Germany this weekend, not that it makes a difference as we'll probably not see her until Christmas anyway *rolls eyes*
I just thought, no-one has asked me what to buy the children for Christmas yet, so I presume they are just getting whatever they think is suitable. They're not going to be overly bothered with lots of toys anyway because they'll be playing with their DS's until the novelty wears off and they're fed up of them.
I am going to get them a watch each, one that Bron will actually bother to wear! I'll probably get them an accessory set for their DS's like I have with the spare styluses and the carry case and stuff and the game storage containers, that and various other gifts :) lol I just looked at the price of beds in Tesco catalogue and I'm not going to be able to get them a new bed each for Christmas :( though Bronny only needs a new mattress, it's Euan who needs storage and will do as he is getting older, though we're looking at £3-400 to get a decent hi sleeper and then he will have to quickly grow out of attention at bedtime as there is no way I'd be able to get up to give a kiss and cuddle, in fact how on earth would I change the sheets?! lol
I spoke to Angel via email today because I wanted to order a couple of soapies from her as I'm down to my last one from my stock of Angel soapies I have ordered 2 baked apple and 3 carrot and orange cake and 1 mango :) mmmmmmmm they will last me a good while, indeedy they will :D
I am trying to remember whether I dreamed going round to Julie's house and sitting in the conservatory or whether I actually did go round and sit in her conservatory lol because i cannot remember in the slightest whether I went there or not. Julie being my neighbour back at Brooklyn Road. I often imagine what life would be like now if we'd stayed in that house whether we'd still be able to afford the mortgage or whether the house would have been reposessed, most probably the latter so we'd probably be where we are now only financially worse off.
Am off now ni ni x

Today's Ramble 13.11.08
Our mattress is broken! There's a nasty spring sticking up out of it I actually stubbed my toe on it, it sticks out that much! AND there's AT LEAST hole in the spring structure right by where my feet go when I sleep on my back! it's well and truly knackered and we've only had it for months not years! I've never known such a crap bed and mattress, seriously it's wank! scuse my language! rofl will have to phone Argos tomorrow and request a replacement as it is still under warranty thankfully. Stupid crap bed! With the problems we have had I'm wondering if it is probably worth our while to get the extended warranty for the bed at least we'd be covered should something else go wrong :S I wish we could have had a decent decent bed on credit, though we'd still be paying for it now.
My dream bed would be an adjustamatic but Simon reckons that it would be too big for the bedroom.. who said anything about getting a double bed? lmao
Simon made me come to bed at 11pm and he is still pissing about even now! *rolls eyes* he's atrocious. He keeps calling me a lesbian just because I keep farting! Straight people have gas too! lol
Euan had more than one flid today but thankfully he had a short one this morning but I still managed to get him off to school, the worst one was getting him to bed though, I could tell it was coming because he pissed around in the bathroom whilst cleaning his teeth, thus getting even more toothpaste on the carpetted floor in the bathroom. Then he went stupid and majorly hyper and being really rough with me and hurting me, he turned nasty when I accidentally hurt his leg when I was trying to get him back into bed he screamed "I hate you" and that was when he started screaming, hitting me, throwing things at me and generally being awful I left him to it as he was still shouting crap at me and I went in to see Bronny to give her her 30 minutes attention and about 15 minutes into Euan came out and said he was sorry I told him I'd settle him down when Bronny's attention had finished, all in all I came into our bedroom at 20:44 which means it took 1 hour and 15 minutes to get them to bed, a new record :( If I JUST put them to bed then I wonder how long it would take ?
Anyway, Ni ni from me lol

Today's Ramble 12.11.08
Another poorly day for me today, so bloody painful a couple of times I have felt really sick from the pain, when I broke my ankle, when I was in labour with Bronny I've not felt so much pain as I have been feeling of late. I am hoping on all hopes that this is a bad flare and not now the norm. I will try a bath tomorrow and see if that helps in the slightest, although bathing quite often gets me all hot and bothered so that I feel worse, I wonder if Si will clean it for me before I have a bath lol otherwise I will be cleaning it and then needing to go to bed lol
I'm definitely missing Charlene lately, maybe she has fallen out with me, perhaps it's just because I have not been on as often, I don't know I just hope that she is OK and that she's not too stressed out bless her. It's not fair that she has to go through so much stress on a daily basis.
Have said a few silent words on behalf of poor Baby "P" today, what a sad and painful existence he had, those Social Workers that failed him and condemned him to death by giving him back to the BITCH of a Mother when it was blatantly obvious that something was a miss most especially after the case of Victoria Climbie bless her little soul RIP which they were also responsible for heads should roll for this, there is no way that they should be allowed to still continue watching over children that are at risk, the Supervisor responsible for authorising the return of Baby P to his Mother should also lose her job. ANY Official body that was involved in the case should lose their jobs and the ones in the thick of it should have a question of was it neglect hanging over their heads. Now most seriously as a Mother, a Mum/Mummy (Mum to Bron, Mummy to Euan) I cannot percieve in the slightest how the hell that bitch could have obviously chosen to care for the needs of her sadistic boyfriend over her own doting Son, someone who 100% relied on her to love, honour and protect him, how could she stand by and watch him being slowly tortured to death? Now, I love Simon with my heart, mind, body and soul, I would even die for him. BUT if he layed one finger on either of my children, in ANY way that was inappropriate, he would be out that door so quick that he wouldn't have time to pack a bag, I would NEVER cover for him. EVER So this is why I am soooo confused as to HOW OR WHY that bitch could cover such dreadful injuries up? I am so cross and I know I'm not going to be the only parent that would like to get their hands on any of the trio of barstewards and give them some of my own justice for little baby "P"
Rest in Peace little man, he can't touch you now, you are safe and the angels will look after you and play with you now "Daddy's Little Soldier" that you were.
"Amen"
-------------------------------
Well, not sure what to say now, so much emotion right now, sorrow, anger, disappointment.. happiness (that I know that my babies are safe) guilt (that I'm happy), dread (that there's more little children out there being severely abused by someone they look up to and they are "slipping through the net of the system" because of decisions that people (who are paid a fair whack to do what they do) are making)
*Sigh*

I confided in someone something I've not told others today and I no longer feel alone as they have the same thing too. Feeling very relieved now. Not going to say any more as nothing more needs saying.
My Kave and corner house came today woot I'm going to add the corner house tomorrow. :D
I'm thinking of transferring my blog to googlespaces or whatever it is called, the only problem with that is I don't know whether or not I can hide it away from general public, if I can't do that then there is no point in changing over
Well I'm done now, tis 3am and I keep fallin sleep.

Today's Ramble 11.11.08
What a day I am having :( Putting kids to bed took me an hour as usual, but it's supposed to be 7-8 not 7.30-8.30, my fault for forgetting that I get Euan in bed for 7pm to have his 30 minutes of attention not 7.30pm, normally when he's in bed late and demanding attention I take the time away from Bronny but tonight I allowed her the full 30 minutes because I felt it was unfair to take her time AWAY again, shame she was more interested in playing Brain Training on my DS she doesn't like more brain training, she only likes version 1 lol
Simon is doing my head in at the moment, he's trying to make me laugh and I don't want to laugh which is really annoying me because he is reminding me of really funny things that have happened to me or him in the time we have been together and now I'm really narked because he succeeded and made me laugh, he used the most hilarious but humiliating of me, memory we have, I won't bother typing it up now I'll just say Tesco supermarket in Stafford and the day I had a stomach bug. *sniggers*
I checked my order status online with Dell and the laptop is in production stage :) woot! closer still! At least on days like today I would have still been able to talk to my online friends because I was in bed because it was too painful to move not because I needed to sleep. I miss everyone a lot when I'm not online and I am especially missing talking to Charlene on msn, we normally have a right laugh.
Euan has been especially naughty today, he had a flid and hurt Bronny this morning which got him threatened with bed when he gets home and then when he came out of school Simon told him off for wearing trainers, then Euan complained that he couldn't carry everything Simon told him to put it all in his bag and he threw it all on th floor and then himself or something along those lines, of course when I calmly ask Euan what happened I got a completely different story. I obviously believe Simon anyway especially as otherwise Bronny would have piped up with "no it/he didn't"
One of the problems is that when irked already, Simon and Euan rile each other further so Euan ends up in a flid, sulking or crying and Simon is pissed off. The biggest problem in my eyes is that 1. Euan gets irked by the slightest of things. and 2. Simon threatens "Bedroom!" for the slightest of things.
My ideal world pennies in a jar and timed time-out on the stairs failed before it even took off. The pennies scheme worked but time out didn't even take off properly, my fault entirely but there we go.
Bronny talked to Jane tonight on msn I would have set her up talking to a few people but I was worried that she'd get confused and Bronny especially likes Jane as there is only 5 (1/2?) years difference between them and she's heard me talk about Jane lots & lots or seen me talking to Jane for the longest. Maybe next time I'll set her up to talk with Kezz and/or Vik, if they don't mind of course heh :)
Arrrggghhhh I just had one of those damn travelling itches but over my scalp eeek I hate them! I may aswell confess that I have caught headlice from Bronny again. To be brutally honest against myself, I don't think we have ever truthfully completely eradicated them so when one of us gets clear the other infects her again. I am going to buy some prioderm as that is the stuff that kills eggs as well and Bronny's headlice problem was eradicated with it, whereas everything else we've used the damn things have been immune to it. We're going to zap both of our heads at the same time so there's no prisoners or survivors left alive! Then every time Bronny comes home from school I'm going to run the electronic detector comb over her head to ensure there are no new visitors in the household.
What I should to is cover our heads with that ecg gel (Electronic Conduction Gel) and zap us with the maximum electricity we can survive and kill the fookers all in one go! heheh if only it were as simple as that sounds *rolls eyes* you never know, electrocution may even cure me! rofl you know what they say "kill or cure" rofl ;)
Starting to drift off to sleep now and don't wanna lose all of this so am going to stop now and Publish the post to Bloggy.
