Have updated fotki a bit more!

( And under here is his first painting from nursery, where he had fun eating the paint! )

I've just had a bath and am toasty warm. Going to chill and watch Charmed methinks.

Drinking my White Zinfandel (which is pink! very girly) and am feeling relaxed. I doubt very much I will be going out as it is cold out there, and I am enjoying having some time to myself now. Finally!

As much as I love Logan having time to myself is good too. Especially as we don't pick him up till late on Sunday evening which means Sunday is the only time I get to spend as a couple with Fed.

I might change my mind. But I think having my warm snuggly PJ's on soon may swing the vote in favour of staying in. Next week I will hopefully be out.

I have a work social night at the casino in the Printworks, but I have to see about babysitting as on the Sunday, Fed and I are going to the Crowne Plaza in town for Sunday roast lunch. So if I skip the casino and have regular babysitting night of Saturday I will be out on Sat and on Sunday have "couple time" with Fed.

Am well looking forward to next Sunday. Mmmm red wine gravy...

is anyone up to anything tonight??

as I can only generally get babysitting for a Saturday - tonight is my free night. It seems like everyone went out last night tho!

Sorry I missed Bod & Sams anniversary night. Would have liked to have played out too.

xx

Friday was fun spending time with Logan.

Saturday went to RW with Joan and lots of ppl. Even tho its generally the same old music every week it was fun. It would be a bit better if other White Zombie tracks were played and other Tool tracks...But Killing Joke and The Dead Kennedys were played so am happy :) Need to get some stompy boots so I can really let go again

Sunday went to see Elektra. I really liked it. Very comic book esque.

Black Monday - back in work. Did a 2.6km run in the morning. Could've done more but wasn't going to push too hard and I had less walking time inbetween running :) We also had a dress down day as it is the most miserable day of the year. Luckily Support got the colour Black to wear! YAY. That was easy. Plus cos it felt like our normal Friday (which is dress down) we got to go half hour early (like on a Friday) too.

Logan is not as ill which is good.

God I love the smell of Karvol. My nose is stinging cos I rubbed it on it!

Been watching Smallville season 4. Oh my god - how good??? We are currently downloading up to episode 10 right now! Plus our SVideo to Scart lead should be here tomorrow so I can link directly from my graphics card to our telly to watch everything I download. Double yay.

Lex gave me Lush Bath Bombs today. I have already used one! Off to bed methinks. Swimming tomorrow to give myself a rest (ish) day.

Even if I don't always reply to people - I do read your journals (no matter how far away you are) and you are on my flist for a reason.

I hate the fact I have to ask!

BUT...what do people know about downloading stuff like films and burning them to dvd?

I have downloaded a lot of div/x stuff .avi, have figured out that it needs to be encoded to mpeg format...

BUT what programmes do ppl use? What does ISO mean in relation to dvd??

How do people normally go about it? Nero is ok but I feel spassy that I can't get this on my own!

Ordered Curry for my tea!

Can't be arsed making something and I have spent hundreds the last few days. Thats what I HATE about Christmas that it really is a big money making machine for Retail.

I would prefer to give presents all through the year rather than at Christmas.

Some people in this world are total liars. Whether they know it or not. Subconsciously or consciously, whatever.

Badness involves all or most of the following:

Lies, maliciousness, vindictiveness, irrational behaviour, self destructive tendencies, neurosis, hypocrisy, double standards, selfishness (which isn't always a bad thing), self centredness (everything revolves around them), envy, psychosis, bi polar (probably), unable to deal with reality, manipulative, obsessive compulsive (in some way)...I'm sure there is more.

I have had my fair share of this myself, but astonishingly have found these in seemingly normal people in extreme measures!! It still astounds me that more than a few can be found in one person, but there you go *surprise*

It really bugs me when people get so far up their own arse that they become like this. What made them so fucked up? I used to try and "fix" people (a la Joannie), but it was too much stress. People don't change unless they want to. Why would anyone want to have so many bad qulaities? Or maybe they just can't see them...

I don't know!

I guess when someone has so many lies to tell initially that you believe them, the rest just bowls you over when you realise you actually believed the lies because they TOLD you it was that way, when the actions are completely opposite and extreme.

I always believe actions speak louder than words. I tend not to believe words anymore and I don't often go wrong.

A blast from the past...*shakes head and feels sorry*

So - dyed hair blonde (ish)

Just have to wait a few days - maybe a week for my hair to re-settle and finish it off. Damn red hair dye takes ages to come out!!

Finally Fed has settled on a car - we are getting a Titanium Silver Mondeo 1.8LX so he can have mirror tints...We should be getting that tomorrow. We can sell it in 6 months if we want to and get a better car as we can change insurance companies and have 2 years no claims...but there is no rush right now. Should last us for the forseeable.

Had a silly argument this morning that exploded into seriousness, have decided on not being so jumpy and he has the next week while I am in work to see what can change. At the end of my limits though. We have talked loads. We both know where we stand.

Logan has started to turn over but doesn't get he has to push his tummy off the floor so looks like he is swimming!

Work is good, everyone is really sweet and friendly. I feel lucky that I work in such a laid back atmosphere with such good people.

We haven't got the MG ZS as the insurance group is too high!! Fed would be paying 1.6K per year to drive the thing. Back to Autotrader!

My mum went to hospital today she has two blockages in her legs which is not helped by her thyroid problem so has to go in for surgery, but because of her blood problem (mylodysplastic syndrome), she can't be knocked out fully, so she is not happy! But at least it means that she won't be such a demic and will be able to do simple stuff again. Which is good! My mum proclaims she is not ill. Bless.

Worried about her though a lot. I don't like my mum having "turns" or getting older and more ill than just her terminal illness. I have always lived with the thought she could die easily, and parents getting older always brings that nearer. I can't imagine losing her. I *won't* imagine losing her.

Logan is being clingy at the moment and hardly sleeps through the day anymore as I think he is worried that we won't be there when he wakes up. It upsets me a bit, but I need to work. We need the money. Simple as that.

Saw Charl today!! So sad that I missed her birthday night but I was steaming with illness and no fun at all. But hopefully Joan and I will hang out tomorrow with her which will be very cool.

Have to make my tea and try to do this Ebay treasure hunt with John on MSN. Yes I am vaguely on MSN LOL, but am to-ing and fro-ing as I have houseowrk to do and Logan will wake up soon and I need to be there to make him feel safe.

Just so everyone knows what happened...I sent Joan, Helen's DJ post. Shitty or not that is the truth.

It is not something I am proud of, or likely to do again. But there were specific reasons (which I will explain below) as to why I did this.

Helen made a really intense entry (which I am not going to post here) in which she said some extremely *nasty* comments about Joan and their situation that she was not going to tell to Joan at all. If someone feels that strongly and nastily about someone else and then plays the "everything is ok and wonderful" card when they speak to them, what would you do?

It was not something done lightly. It was done with much thought and consideration.

They did not break up because of my actions, or indeed the DJ post. It probably didn't help but in fairness, if someone advocates "all the info all the time" and makes an entry THAT serious and then leaves the other person in the dark, it is undermining the relationship.

I know everyone has dark thoughts and feelings sometimes and I must stress that this DJ entry was *beyond* that and in one comment in particular it was very cruel and heartless, I could not believe that someone would even say such a thing that awful about someone they professed to love.

If she really wanted to keep her entry private then filters are there for a reason, and it was not just me that had something to say about this entry! So if Joan had not been told by me, she would have by someone else (and in fact was).

I have nothing to hide and think of me what you will. I don't care. Their relationship is not for me to judge, but I cannot stand by and not tell one of my best friends in the world something that dark and ugly.

I'm sorry Helen if you feel deceived or anything else. But in fairness I could not let that go past. If the situation was reversed I would do the same for you. This isn't something I am proud of, but I felt too strongly not to. I am not a passive person who will let things happen or be said. At the end of the day you should have told Joan no matter how dark you felt, she can handle it.

Everyone can see this and comments are NOT screened.

Fell asleep for two hours snuggled up with Logan.

No better place to be :)



So there you go!!

I'm so glad that Jenn has had Millie finally @ 7.03am!!

Bad to hear about the stitches - Good to hear epidural worked (kind of) LOL

I really want to go and see her but I know how tired you can get after birth and she has a lot of adjustments to make - but YAY big YAY

First day of work went well (I think!), Emily is a nutter, but a good one! Shame she is going. Think (I hope anyway) I will be ok, but I have a dazed bunny in headlights approach going on. Was really dizzy in Asda before.

TIRED out *yawn*
