Dundee? How?

 


The other day I was brushing my teeth ready to go to work (restaurant). I was dressed, wearing my uniform shirt. Hubby suddenly got a towel and wrapped it round my chest and held it at the neck. This was to stop me putting toothpaste on my shirt. Now if you're thinking Ahhh how sweet then stop that thought right now! He was just being a cheeky bugger treating me like a child who is not capable of brushing my teeth without an incident! Now the fact that he's probably right and I could so easily have thrown toothpaste all over my clothing is not the point here! I'm an adult and I do not need supervising. He's so annoying! (I like it really but don't tell him).

Well yesterday I bought a need car. A lovely orange Polo. I got a great deal (with £100 Amazon voucher and bottle of Bailey's thrown in). I was busy signing my life away when they suddenly said that someone in Dundee had bought it. I was sat in the showroom with the keys in my hand and the just test driven car sat on the forecourt in front of my eyes, and yet someone in Dundee had first dibs! Long story short I bought the same car but in blue. And (obviously) squeezed another £400 out of them. But still, beggars belief! Crazy internet world wide web world that we live in now. So much for possession being 9/10th of the law.

I've started my admin job in the care home. So far so good. I like it. There's a lot more sitting down than the other job but everyone seems nice and I'm sure I'll get to grips with it all soon. 

My sister and brother in law are coming today. I'm very excited as I've not seen them for 18 months! I have Xmas gifts and 2 birthday presents for them both when they arrive! Happy days. Though the novelty of seeing BiL will soon wear off. He's teases me no end and when he and hubby get together I get no peace and they are just mean/rude! I live a hard life, you've just no idea. It's good to know that I provide so much entertainment with my issues (my senior/blonde moments let's say - no offence intented to real blondes, it's just a term of endearment).

Life is short, and it's up to you to make it sweet. Sarah Louise Delaney (who?)

Alternative resolutions

Image
  So this year, instead of the usual resolutions - lose weight, exercise more, drink water, drink less alcohol etc that fail in just a few days, I've decided to make resolutions for all the lovely people in my life!  Hubby - 2022 is the Year he wants to be more romantic. Though this is news to him. Romance is a foreign language and he has no clue. However, he does do Google! So I suggest he tries asking "Ok Google? How do I do romance?" I'm confident she can help him. Daughter - this is easy. She just needs to remember that one day she will be me!  Son - I know he can do full sentences so his resolution is to message with more than just fine/ok/good/I guess/no/yes. Also, he needs to be better at replying to messages in a timely manner and not wait all day! Libby - she's already doing a fab job of staying alive but I think it's time she didn't just stare at me when she wants a treat. Libby just ask!  The cats - only wee and poo in the litter tray if you...

Home bird

  Ellie and I were invited to a charity ball last weekend by my work. The big boss bought the tickets which was great. A young 23 year old lad was raising money for a cancer charity - being 5 years in remission himself. It was a chance to get dressed up and have a nice meal with a few drinks. Ellie bumped into my sister in law on the dance floor though her aunt didn't recognise her. Now I'm not saying that Ellie scrubs up well but... We managed to stay until 11pm (I'm sure Ellie could have gone the distance) much to the shock of my sister in law (they got home past 2am I believe). It may not be a surprise to you guys but I realised how much of a home bird I am. I struggle to go out at all, my first reaction would always be to decline an offer. I'm sensible enough to know that never going out would be unhealthy and I always try to ignore any anxiety and just do it anyway! But it is hard for me. I don't mean going out during the day, shopping or out for coffee or lunc...

A storm

Image
  If you're expecting a quick repartee I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. My funny bone is wearing a plaster-cast. My Eeyore cloud has turned into a storm. I've not been coping so well. My house is like a mental asylum. My daughter is doing great but my son is struggling. Even Libby came into our bedroom at 3am Wednesday morning having an anxiety attack! It was one of the alarm sensors beeping due to a low battery. She doesn't like strange noises, and I was panicked because I didn't know what was wrong with her, and obviously any strange behaviour is worrying, incase it's a step closer to her demise. I can't say too much about Isaac, as that wouldn't be fair but I can say his Asperger's is having an effect. He's dealing with a lot of changes just now - coming home to live, getting a full time job, volunteering for National Trust and about to go to a new university to do his masters! And his difficulties and struggles are so hard to watch...
