Little Miss Average

Whilst we were away for the weekend we took the boys to a Victorian Extravaganza in Llandudno for the day. One of the sideshows was a "Museum of Oddities". As I've always been fascinated by the old "freak" shows we decided to have a look. The "Museum of Oddities" consisted of a papier mache shrunken head, the worlds tiniest bible, alien twins in a jar (even I knew they weren't real ), a plastic "sewer" alligator and some other crap. No bearded ladies, no wolf boys, no elephant man
What a bloody disappointment. I've got more "oddities" in my house. For example Harry has a giant pork scratching that he keeps in a bag (yeah I have no idea why either!!), Jeff has a life-form growing in a mug in his bedroom and I'm sure there's something living under my bed
But nothing tops the day my Grandad took my Dad when he was a little boy. One of the sideshows was a "real live pixie". My Dad said it was just a little man sitting there with a pack of cigarettes next to him on a stool, who said to them "You've had a look - now bugger off!!"

.... when you do a stock take, and write it all down neatly on a piece of paper.

And then shred the bloody paper

Well the Surprise 40th went well. Had a great night, but unfortunately managed to drink 6 glasses of wine I have no idea how that happened. I'm such a lightweight when it comes to drinking I was well away after 2.
Got home around 3pm (obviously I don't remember the journey back!!) and can vaguely remember making a soft cheese sandwich (yukkkk).
Managed to get up at 8am to go away for the weekend. Fortunately I'm one of those sickening people who never gets a hangover so felt fine and ready to go (bit tired though!!)
Had a good weekend. Weather was very good, although it wasn't supposed to be. Took Harry and his friend with us, so we were kept entertained all weekend. Mr Bean saw some "Night Vision" goggles on the market for £1 (they were a pair of blue glasses with a light on them!!), so bought some for the boys as a joke. We didn't imagine that they would actually wear them and not only that, but go out in the dark wearing them and looking for rabbits and pheasants to scare!!! Although they did nearly die of shock when they discovered some chavs sitting on the grass in the middle of the campsite watching them
Had a good weekend, ate too much but walked a lot.
Back to being good again. Got a busy day with work today.

Thought it was going to be a really bad day

Had an appointment at the hospital and when I got there they told me it was cancelled. Fortunatley after a bit of juggling about the consultant agreed to see me (it was an error on their part), although it was 2 hours later than my appointment time.

After that me and Mr Bean decided to take a walk in the sunshine, to the pub in our village and have something to eat. We sat outside in the beer garden with the sun shining on us, and it was very relaxing. He commented that it felt like we were on holiday. We then walked to the old-fashioned grocery shop and stocked up on loads of fruit (especiallly strawberries) and natural greek yoghurt. Came back home and sat in the garden for a while waiting for the children to get back home and then went on another walk.

All in all it turned out to be a lovely relaxing, peaceful day. Now it might not sound that exciting to some of you, but believe me it's something I could never have imagined doing a year ago

Got a surprise 40th birthday party for my friend tonight, so I'm currently cooking hundreds of sausage rolls and vol-au-vents and then we're off for the weekend tomorrow. Weather doesn't sound too good, but at least it's a break.

Have a good bank holiday

One of my sisters friends is doing a reflexology course and needs some "case studies" to practice on. Being ever helpful (not just because I like being pampered!!) I volunteered.

So I've washed my feet and shaved my toes. Gosh I'm just so damn sexeeee

Dontcha wish your girfriend was hot like me??

My 7 year old niecey was playing on the PS2 yesterday and suddenly shouted "Oh Barnacles!!", I said "Why did you say that for?".

She turned and looked at me, obviously totally disgusted with my stupidity and said "Well it's better than saying bollocks isn't it?"

Well - that told me

My copy of "Good Food" Magazine has just come. (Obviously I never make anything out of it - it's only for the pictures).

But on the front cover there's a FREE bar of my favourite Lindt chocolate.

All is well in my world once again

First of all there's a stupid bird behind the fire that's fallen down the chimney, driving me insane.

Secondly I've just fetched a product out for a client and it's exploded So I'm now covered in something lovely Rang up the order line to tell them one had exploded and another one was about to. Just managing to cover up her sniggers the woman said "put it in a bag quick, cos it stinks when it explodes".

Yes, yes it does - it's all over me

But it's ok because they're going to send me 2 free ones!!!!!!

Should I go back to bed??

Ive bought my sister the most lovely chocolate cake for her birthday

A hand decorated chocolate sponge cake layered and covered with chocolate ganache topping. Decorated with milk chocolate curls. Finished with white and dark chocolate stars

 I suppose it would be bad manners to have a slice before I take it round

Inside my head it sounds sexy and smooth and creamy (like melted chocolate). In reality it sounds like a bloody fart in a bucket.

I've spent half an hour recording my answermachine message. I've stood up. I've sat down. I've smiled. I've tried sounding chirpy, sexy, posh. But none of them work aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrghh.
