This Life of Mine — Life in a nutshell

God I feel terrible at having such lazy weekends!

Have a ton of house work that needs doing but I just cant be bothered to do anything - right now I am working my way through all the Harry Potter films, whilst Lee is on WoW  and also im on my second load of washing with about 2 more to go! Ultimatly this doesnt feel like a Sunday - probably because i have been awake since 9:30am!! And I was even awake before Lee!! What are the chances of that?! lol

What have I done this weekend??

Hmm let see —- not much, went food shopping yesterday and spent about £100!! Cant believe the price of stuff at the moment, oh wait we got 6 bottles of wine for £20 so that was our splurge buy I suppose. Then we went to look at new beds on the way home - again cant believe of beds and mattresses!

Then have just been watching films all weekend :D

totally boring and random post my applogies!

Off to go make some lunch….

Ok I have been trying to do my first unplugged for over a week now, but with various things i havent been able to switch off.

We have had film fest all week so its been virtually impossible to not be techy. I was going to have my unplugged day on Wednesday but that didnt happen so had it Thursday instead!

I have set the rules for myself as follows:

  1. No Phone
  2. No computer - that included the laptop
  3. No WoW or other games
  4. No DS-Lite
  5. No TV*

What I am including is my i-Pod as i can work about the house and disover all the songs that i didnt know existed on it and also i am including watchin movies -which i know falls under no tv - but by that i mean no crap shitty shows that suck the night away before you know it. At least with movies me and the other half Lee can snuggle up on the couch and had “us” time on the same token.

So thursday i was all techy until about 8pm - i got chatting to old firends on messenger things but decided it was the night i would dye my hair. So switched off - late in the night i know but that was me until this morning - and i need to get out of that habit.!

Anyway decided i would try a new kit that is made escpecially for dark hair to lighten and dye red. 2 bottles later and almost and hour or rising my roots had gone orange/red and the res of my hair (which is black) was virtualy untouched!!!! Damn you black hair! So will have to make an appointment with a salon neat then end of the month to get the black stipped and all over red for the autumn - want to have nice red hair for the wedding…. which isnt until next August so can either grow the roots out myself and save £100 or blow £100 and get it done now… think the grow out and wait option is the ideal one but i want it changed now and become very impatient when it come to my hair.

So anyway when i was waiting for the dye to work its (non)magic i lay on the bed and read my book.

A very boring unplugged first night and sure it can be classed as one or not at it was well after my limit (5:30pm) so think will make this uplugged practice night instead =)

Lots of “ness” flying about this blog at the moment lol

Have had such a lazy day that it is kinda dragging in -got up at a modest 11:30am today, ok still a long lie in but a little earlier than yesterday.

The whole night I kept hearing what I thought was my mobile virbrating, though when i checked it there were no messages or missed calls… weird. So I had a pretty restless night sleep as the vibration happened about every 2 hours from 11pm right through to 6am. Still have no idea what it was, and no as certain people might think it wasnt the vibrator under my bed - the batteries are done in it :P  (ok to much information! even for me - but im in a kinda werid mood)

I did venture out this afternoon - headed off to the shop to get potatoes so we could have bangers and mash for dinner - I much say they turned out really good, Im really getting the hang of this whole cooking malarky! I am not the best - kind cant cook wont cook kinda person, Just cant be bothered with all the hasseld of preparing etc. I like quick stuff like spagheti bolognase of chicken korma - they are easy open a jar and mix with meat, nothing else to it.

So will see what other things i might try my hand at.

Had a tottaly geeky idea earlier on today its to do with fimo, WoW characters and cake toppers. I have in my mind the geeky idea of having both our main characters from WoW made into our cake topper, just to deviate from the norm - and even if just for a laugh think it would be great as its something we both love. Have been trawling the internet to see if anyone could possible make them but didnt come up with anything =( so thought I might make them myself - or might enlist the help of Lisa as she is uber crafty and has used fimo before.

Ok that is really geeky but not impossible to do.

Watch this space.

Anyway think im done for the day - trying hard to make a start on this unplugged thing but not managed to get of the starting line yet - aim to have first night on Wednesday!

God I am so shattered today - was about write this morning but since its 1:30pm on a Saturday afternoon I have only just woke up an hour ago!!!

Lee has been up since the crack of dawn - I dont know how he does it! At the weekends I could sleep all day but then again dont want to waste the weekend in bed (all though that wouldnt be such a bad thing if had company lol) not that we do much at the weekends - but I like it, Iike doing nothing during the day.

I have been so busy at work that its a welcome break!! Seriously I go in a 9am (or 8:30 depeding on the rota) and before I know it have sent a million emails and trawled the internet procuring parts and boom - its 5pm!

Think this is best thing i have done in a long time and so glad I put my name forward for the postion.

Funny story - I am so busy and not bored in the slightest - i have no time to be bored! But someone who shall remain namless, is telling people that im bored and probably wont be in the job all that long!!

Where did they get that idea from??

A status thing on my facebook profile that said

Fiona **** is bored with this palce

Its funny how things you write can get taken out of context - in this case i was bored with FACEBOOK! not my job which incidently she thought the comment was wrote during work hours when in fact it was well after i finished and gotten home.

=) its so laughable to know that this person thinks this and its going to be great stirring shit up - already have a staus on Facebook saying Fiona is ready to throw in the towel.

Will see what rumours start with that! =)

Ok I went off on a tangent and got distracted by the TV, forgot what else I was going to write about in this random post.

Thanks for all comments on my last post  - I would recommend it to anyone even if not doing it for charity. Lee is planning on taking me to a place in Ratho, Edinburgh that does indoor climbing and more Zipslides - so I can get used to heights =)

Well I have been awake for almost and hour and half so think its time for some breakfast - of should that be lunch?
