Fridays........
Fridays…… I find that Friday is the best day of the week. I’m sure most people must feel the same but I have to say that it is my favourite day generally. I feel that I am far more productive Friday morning because I know the harder I work I the quicker the day will go but after lunch I find myself counting the hours and minutes until the clock strikes 5. Friday night is like no other night of the week, no matter how tiered you feel from a hard week at work you can always muster up the energy to get yourself out. I have found myself on many of an occasion driving home from work on a Friday thinking how tiered I am and just a night in front of the TV with a glass of wine would be lovely, but when that all important phone call come from a friend asking you to go out, you just spring into action and get yourself ready for whatever the night may bring. It rarely matters how tiered you are on a Friday night because you can always have a long lie in on Saturday morning.
I am looking forward to tonight because I have a poker evening planned at my brother’s house. Myself, my good friends Sarah and Sophie are going round have a game or two. It may sound a little cheesy but it is great to finally have a group of friends who like to play poker. My brother and I have been playing on and off for a couple of years now, even though I am no means good at the game I really like to play. At the moment we don’t play for money but I think eventually we will make it a little more interesting and add a little cash to the pot!
I had an awful day yesterday; I really did not feel well at all. I managed to stick it out at work until about half past ten but I gave up at that point and went home to my bed. I had a really bad headache, stomach pains, heart burn and to top the list of nicely my leg (Which is broken and still in a cast) was giving me a lot of pain. I felt very sorry for myself. But having the afternoon in bed did me the world of good. I feel a lot more alive today and most of my ailments have subsided.
I’m not sure if any of you want to hear about this but I feel I must tell someone because it is something that is really ‘doing my head in’!! I started my first period in 5 years the day after Boxing Day. I was on the contraceptive injection from the age of 18 and after starting reacting badly to it I decided to stop having it about 4 months ago. The Dr said that it could take up to a year for my periods to start again and regulate themselves. So when it came I was a mixture of relieved and disappointed to have it back. Well, it’s coming up to 3 weeks now and I am still ‘on’. I knew things would be a little weird to start with but I didn’t realise it would last this long! I am very sorry, I am sure this is far to much information for you but I have to tell someone and if anyone has any advice please feel free to let me know.
Anyway, enough of the girly rubbish and back to work I think!
Until next time…

Good Intentions...
Why do the best intentions in the world never work? I had the best intentions last night to do many of the things I have been putting off all week. I finished work a little early and went home with the goal of doing some washing, tidying the sty I am living in at the moment, making some nice but healthy tea and writing another Blog update. Well, Things didn’t go according to plan. My fatal error was that I sat in front of the fire at about 5 o’clock for a couple of minutes to warm up and relax. It would seem that I relaxed a little too much because the next thing I knew it was 8 o’clock and I had been past asleep for around 3 hours. By the time I got myself out of the chair I was really ready for some tea and didn’t actually get around to doing any of the jobs I had planned. It looks like I am going to have a busy night tonight!
After finally dragging myself from the chair I went to make myself something to eat, by this time I couldn’t be bothered to cook anything so I ended up just having some cheese and crackers, which by the way was very tasty. As I was preparing my culinary delight, my mother came in with a bottle of Champaign, there was no special occasion, someone had just bought the bottle for her as a thank you for something. Well the next thing I knew she had poured me a glass and we were sipping on Champaign. I did feel very posh!
I tried to get to bed relatively early in order to get as much sleep as possible so I could get up this morning feeling a little more alive than yesterday. Unfortunately this didn’t happen either. I lay awake until about 1 o’clock, and then woke up almost every hour after that. I am not the best sleeper at the best of times I have trouble getting to sleep and I usually wake up many times in the night, but I generally go straight back to sleep relatively straight away. However last I had a very restless night and lay awake for a while each time I woke. This morning when I woke for the final time (this time with help from my alarm) I came round to a very bad case of heart burn, it felt like someone had poured petrol down my throat and thrown in a lit match to follow. I had the feeling today was not going to be the best day of my life either. And it seems that Champaign with cheese and biscuits are not the best mix of evening meal for me!
I was chatting to my friends Kel yesterday; she started her Blog this week and has put lots of photos of her life on her site. I was having a look through some on these photos and I stumbled across a very dodgy picture of me and her. It was taken about 3 years ago on a holiday to Newquay. Myself and Kel decided to join her uncle and his partner for a week of fun and sun down south. Only a day or two after we arrived there we both thought it would be a great idea to go and get ourselves pierced! I had my lip done and Kel opted for a more subtle nose stud. Don’t get me wrong I loved my lip ring so much and the attention people paid me because of it was great. I wished I could have kept it in forever, but due to my parent hatred for anything pierced I knew this was not an option. It was a little silly but for that week it was great. My lip did swell to a very large size, drinking without the aid of a straw was not easy and I had to clean it with salt water around three times a day but like I say I loved it! We had a great time although we did have a rather large argument one night, but this was swept under the carpet after a little girly chatting and a sobering night’s sleep. The picture on Kel’s site shows me and her one morning looking a little rough and I’m guessing we had been out the night before for a shandy or two! We have made plans to go to the lakes for a weekend in the summer for a re-enactment of our Newquay experience! It should be fun, I’m looking forward to it and I hope she is too!
I hadn’t realised I had written quite so much, I better stop typing now or I will get less done today than yesterday.
Until next time…

Dreams...
Why is it that dreams can determine your mood for the entire day? I find a very strange thing to comprehend that the dreams I have in the night can have such in impact on my state of mind. I found myself this morning waking up in an awful mood. I’m not going to bore you with the details of my unconscious activities but I will say that my dreams were not full of fluffy clouds and Care Bears.
I went to bed last night in a very positive mood but awoke this morning feeling depressed and downhearted. This is affecting my working day, I’m feeling lethargic, unmotivated and I am sure that the clock has started to tick backwards!
"Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake?"
Leonardo da Vinci
Although I had some not so pleasant dreams last night, I do consider myself one of the lucky people who remember a lot of their dreams. I do love the feeling of waking up in the morning after a night of wonderful visits into other worlds, when you get that feeling of contentment that can only come from feeling truly happy. Even if this feeling only lasts for a couple of minutes when you wake, you keep getting little reminders of it during in that day and this is a pretty big determiner for your mood for the that day.
All the good thought you try control throughout the day can come to life uncontrollably in your sleep and transport you to places your imagination could never take you. Dreams are very powerful and although I will probably never understand them I look forward visiting them most nights.
Now just by writing this post today I have managed to turn my mood around. I feel a lot more positive about my day now. Some times it just takes a little cheesy talk to turn things around!
Untill Next time....

Looking Forward...
Well it's been a while... Christmas has come and gone, I had a great Christmas. I was surrounded by my friends and family and we had a fabulous time, despite the fact that my leg was (and still is) in a cast! I received so many great presents none of which i can remember as soon as anyone asks the question "so... what did Santa bring you this year?".
I spent nearly my entire Christmas with my good friend Sarah, i know i may have mentioned this but she really has been a brilliant friend to me since i broke my leg. We went to a few parties, chilled out and had a good time.
I had a party on boxing say which was better than i expected it to be and ended up having one two many glasses of wine!!! Oh well it is Christmas after all!
New year was OK but it is never as good as i feel it should be. i went to a party with my brother and his wife, i didn't really know anyone there but it was giggle.
Anyway looking forward to the new year! I am determined to have a great year, i have some pretty big plans and am becoming increasingly excited about them as the day go by!
I am not planning to move far away from home, i would be really quite like to stay in village i live in or not to far away from it. This may sound a little unadventurous but i actually like the area, plus i work very close and a lot of my family are here.
I have to pay some money i owe back, which i am planning have all paid up by April and then start to house hunt! I did make a very large mistake the other night, i just thought i would have a look on a couple of websites to what kind of houses and prices were around, i found the perfect house, at the right money, in the right place but i just can't afford it yet!! Sod's Law!!
Well anyway, that's all for now, lets hope this year bring good fortune and happiness to us all!
Until next time...

- First and foremost i am planning to have this cast off my leg!!!!
- I am continuing my CIM course (Marketing qualification) which is very hard work but hopefully lead to bigger and better things work wise this year.
- I am going to Paris for a few days to expand my cultural horizons in February, I am very excited about this and can't wait to get out there!
- My parents are going to the south of France for a month in September and I very kindly offered to keep an eye on there yacht on lake Windermere at the weekends, It's a grueling task but someone has to do it! Plus i am planning on spending quite a few weekends there throughout the summer months also!.
- I am looking forward the festival this year, although i only attend two, I have recruited many more people to them and will hopefully have a wonderful time.
- Finally, probably the most exciting thing is that I am planning to buy my first home this year!
