Bit of this and bit of that

                                        

                          

Playing catch up again LOL...My broadband started working again yesterday around lunchtime...Presume that BT fixed the alleged problem at the exchange...Funny how everyone else i know on BB with same exchange didn't have any problems...Only me, bloke downstairs (non AOL) and woman in block next door...On fri BT came round and the engineers were up the pole out the back moving around the wires that come to my block and the block next door...We were all broadbandless over the weekend until yesterday...But hey de ho just another thing to add to the catalogue of crap luck of late <shrug>

Can't remember what day it was over the weekend but there was a huge beasite on the inside of the kitchen window...Am still not sure if it was a gigantic moth or a butterfly...I opened the window mega wide and it flew off spreading open these gorgeously marked dark wings...I know it wasn't a tortoiseshell butterfly but about that size and darkness...It was very pretty anyways.

So whats been happening...Well i went out on friday at 5pm for a treasure hunt pub crawl LOL...I haven't been out in town for over a year...Was with a friend and her work colleagues...I felt a bit like a fish out of water but it was good to be out of the flat :o) ...The treasure hunt side was we got divided up into 3 teams...Each team was given an envelope with 8 individual sealed envelopes inside...We had to solve the clue to find where the next pub was...The first 2 we ended up in were a bit old mannie kind of pubs...3rd used to be a good pub and one of my regular haunts but it has now turned into a very studenty type place...I did like the 4th one it was lovely...Nice terrace to sit on out in the warm air and relax...I'll happily go back there :o) 5th was another old mannie one that doesn't have a ladies but me and pal gave it a miss and went to KFC as we were starving...Next was very erm upmarket one in a posh hotel...Then was on to another wine bar type place before we all met up together in a trendy bar...Me and palwished we'd stayed in pub 4 for the whole time LOL...And no i didn't have a hangover on sat LOLOL...Don't get them regardless of how much i have been drinking <smug> ...It did tire me out as am still recovering from the allergic reaction last week...Been thinking about that and i was very lucky really...I hate to think what could have happened if i hadn't spoken to that chemist and gone to the doctors :o(

                                                                  

K went out shopping on sunday with my best pal to try find her something for a wedding she has next week...On monday i went out shopping with her and we managed to find a dress :o) ...I bought myself one of those big bags with all the pockets, zips, buckles that the WAGS and other celebs have (balagencia or however tis spelt)...Well not quite the designer one but a lookalikey in Miss Selfridge sale LOL...Later i had to buy these cheapy purple sunglasses to go with it <ggg> ...All i need now is the hair extensions, false nails, figure and overpaid footy player to go with them ROFL...K went back to edinburgh on mon evening...Missing her fella loads and also living with the boys is too stressfull for her now for long lengths of time...Plus all her friends are down there and not up here so it's mega boring being up here for weeks.

Boys were at playscheme yesterday and went swimming...SHOCK they took them out somewhere that wasn't the cinema or a kiddies playpark...M had athletics this morning and he was doing high jump and javelin...First time he's thrown a proper javelin and he enjoyed that...This car i have just now is a right <deleted> pain in neck...Alarm goes off all the time, it loses power at any speed or gear...I have an appointment tomorrow at Reg Vardy to see if they can sell me one and also i'll have a look in the other car places beside there tomorrow...Gotta run take M to the docs as he's had problems with his ears ever since he came back from bendrigg...He keeps moving his jaw all the time to try and unblock them he says.

That sounds a whirlwind of a time Caff, glad you enjoyed it.  Hope M's ears are ok....smiling because my son does that but usually with his finger stuck in his ear as well.  Hope you have a good weekend and a better car. Rache
