It just gets worse

Current mood: pissed off
Category: Life

So now that my darling car has now left me approx £250 lighter in the wallet I figured that the whole shit fight which seemed to be happening to me of late MUST finally be at and end.

Evidently not. Today we got our monthly wage slips and guess who after her week and a bit off sick with flu and chest infection had her sickness pay docked because of it.

How fucking grand is that… NOT

So now I have yet another month of, me – basically skint, and who needs to fill up said car that cost so much this week… oh that will be me then.

You will have to excuse me if I spend the next month sulking like a child but at the moment nothing is seeming very fair and I just want to throw my toys out of the pram and strop about.

Mutter mutter

Crap car… It’s just bloody typical

Current mood: pissed off

Why is it in life when everything seems to be going swimmingly, that something will jump up and kick you arse with the force of a fighter jet at full speed ???

Now I have been having problems with the exhaust on the old scenic of late. The initial cause wasn't really my fault but the lack of proper correction certainly has… which also lead to me being aware of other faults of which will now skint me right out good and proper.

The initial problem with the exhaust was when reversing over my drive with a slightly heavy person in the passenger seat, I caught the bugger on the slightly high bit and pulled the two front bits apart leaving me with a spark machine dragging along the floor… This was a good 4 months ago.

The repair was swift and worked a treat, car up on blocks me under it getting very filthy and fitting it back together. Sorted.

Then about 6 weeks ago it happened again… just as I was about to go to work. Not good. I had to once again get under it to secure it enough to be able to move it back onto said driveway then grovel to the short one to see if he could take me to work. Hmmm.

On this day I managed to a, purchase a set of proper ramps so as to be able to get right under the car to fix it and bought a new "D" clamp for it as I had managed to bend the bugger this time.

Whizzed home at lunchtime to fix it and found that for some strange reason the two bloody bits wouldn't go back together properly again enough to hold it. TITS!

So to at least get the sod somewhere to fix it, fashioned a sort of metal 'cowl' to at least get me to work over the workshop pit to get a good go at it.

This also didn't go too well. Not only would the two parts STILL not fit together properly, even with help from a hefty hammer but the bit of tin I had used had pretty much fallen apart. One new piece of flat steel round it later and I was good to go again (well temporarily until I could get it fixed properly)

Bearing in mind that was before Christmas you can see that this lazy tart has pretty much just ignored the blowing noises since.

Yesterday however it was just too much to bear and I finally drove it down to the chunky monkey mechanic to get the sod back together again properly.

Bless his cottons he did manage to get it to fit again, but by being up high on the ramps with said little arse here under there as well the problems REALLY started. The hole from the gap where it fell apart is now perfect. Nothing leaking out of there at all. Then we noticed the hole in the front right next to the manifold…. Shit. Then the hole just behind the cat… bollocks – and the one just after the silencer… oh for fucks sake!

Evidently I now need a complete new exhaust before this one, well, falls off to be honest. Shit – shit – shit.

And just in case that wasn't enough, whilst coming down again on the ramps, said chunky monkey notices I have a nail in my rear tyre and I finally admit to myself I also have a slow puncture in the front tyre as well.

I think we can safely say that I'm not really best pleased about it all and it will cost a bleeding fortune to do all of these things but then given the thought I might not actually have a car… I will pay its demands.

I am officially a smart arse

Current mood: enlightened
Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes

Yes, there is no denying it I am as smug as a smug thing covered in peanut butter at this very moment in time.

After a week of lessons I am now the very proud owner of my class 1 (CE) driving license.

Chuffed? I should say so :)

Granted it was very draining and my nerves on the day of the test were very evident, I still managed to get through it first time… Get in there!

So all I am going to say is – thanks for my company for paying for me to do it…

Thanks to Craig my instructor who really was a complete star it must be said (even if the git was glad to see the back of me)

and then.... be careful drivers of the UK… this daft tart can now drive pretty much anything!

Pukka ;)

'Sleeping’ the new work

Current mood: blustery
Category: Life

Yes, I'm currently still off sick but alas going back tomorrow. (Quite relieved as it happens) The tablets seemed to have kicked in good and proper and the raspy cough is defiantly disappearing now. Shame really, I was getting quite used to sleeping in. Oh well.

So other than sleeping for rather too much of late I've also been running through my head all the usual tat of which drives me mad. Lack of money (gusset here has been a 'good Samaritan' and loaned a friend some cash and now I am completely brassic)

Then there is where what why and the usual of which will always screw with ones brain, but then it's not like I'm the only person going through such tat so will shut the fuck up.

Ok so planning for the next month will be easy I suppose. Get through the old driver training thing when it kicks in, get my cash back from said friend then think about what I want to do, when I want to do it and why… but then you know me, I always put such shit off for ever it seems.

On a plus note, to help said friend with his cash strapped problems am going to be slapping a shit load of stuff on ebay… hmmm might even get me off my arse selling my stuff again. Now that could be a very good thing.

Revenge of the lurgy

Current mood: lethargic
Category: Life

Ok so yesterday didn't exactly go to plan as such.

Yes I went to work, only to be sent home pretty much quick smart again. However feeling like complete and utter pants didn't really argue and sodded off back to bed.

Then came the "your body might be trying to tell you something" moment. I put in a DVD to watch to help with the recovery mode (at approx 11am) the next thing I knew it was 8pm and the phone was ringing. I can only assume the crash out was needed!

Either way little one came round with another DVD to watch (a good ploy seeing as I wouldn't sleep overnight now due to having already been snoring all day) Sat up and watched that then promptly dozed off again. Bloody hell, I must be ronnied.

Well that was until I was awoken at least 6 times by – yes you've guessed it… my bloody coughing. I was feeling so bad for waking up the short one constantly set up shop on the couch in the end. (not for long it seems as he dragged me quick smart back again)

So having finally awoken properly this morning decided enough was enough and managed to get an emergency appointment with the doctors at 9am.

Seems yes, I have had flu and now just in case that wasn't enough I now have a fucking chest infection to boot. Well that's just bleeding typical isn't it? However it does now mean I am on anti-biotic's for said infection and stocked up on more cough syrup shite whilst there as well.

So today's plan is to get off this fucking laptop and watch some inane drivel on TV until once again I crash out… and I can feel it coming, like a train wreck!

Now bearing in mind I have been ill….

Current mood: drunk
Category: Life

It means I haven't had even a sniff of any alcohol for days… which as you know for me is very much a surprise.

So being the night before I am going back to work tomorrow and feeling well enough to have some drinkies, I have partaken in what could be said is slightly more than I should have white wine. Sooo…..

Now I am not completely shitfaced, and you will know this from my ever so genuine writing efforts here. But am must be said somewhat tiddly yes.

Which brings me to a whoooole drunk topic of weirdness and, well nothing new for me type shit.

Things that have recently been on my mind.

One of which is: am I really THAT bad that no one would ever want me? Well problem is with thinking thoughts like this when slightly drunk and somewhat more honest than normal due to a rather large amount of winery type juice.

Hmmm tricky one that. Honest answer? The people or persons who are involved in my life right now have noooo idea how I really feel. And if they did know, would probably be quite offended to know that – if I am brutally honest…? I don't know yet!

Yes I do care for this person in question very much but as for more? I don't think so. In fact this person in question has proven to me that I can hold back and wait until I am truly sure of what I really want without doing that whole 'jumping the gun quick smart bollocks' that I always do. Now that really can't be bad can it?

But in all seriousness – I don't honestly know. Maybe he will be good for me – who knows or cares? At this moment in time in my head he's nowt more than a good friend and will stay that way until I am good and proper sure that it is the right thing to do/go with decide… or whatever you want to call it. Until that moment, I'm sorry babe but you are just a damn good fuck my dear!

Some day I will decide but until I do you will be in the dark just as much as me!

(What a surprise!)

Hang on a minute….

Current mood: contemplative
Category: Life

It's gone! Well it's nearly gone. (The flu that is)

Seems that the last two days of it are actually the worst as how you are feeling goes. The cough has probably done some permanent damage with the sheer amount and muscles now hurting from it but the snot seems to have calmed down and aching limbs have all near as damn it gone as well.

ABOUT FUCKING TIME TOO!

So back to work it is tomorrow then, going to be rather weird not having been in for 5 days (including the weekend of course) But quite looking forward to actually being up and about again.

So what else is there to tell? Ahhhh yes, something in February I am VERY much looking forward to.

Seems my previous employer has decided to put on a fancy ball. (Think Oscars style 'shindig' with a meal, included)

Now normally I wouldn't go to one of these things in a million years. Not just because of the dressing up part of it but the whole pompous attitude that will be there. How do I know this will be the case? Because the tickets are £30 a head and I for one just know most of the people who I would love to see go wont go for exactly that reason.

I however want to go for a couple of reasons.

1. I will be so dressed up to the nines (in a ball gown I have just purchased for said occasion, no one will recognise me.

2. Anyone and everyone who is high level will probably be there, all of the people I would just absolutely love to tell exactly what I think of them… and you know me, it sure as shit isn't gonna be pretty.

And the best bit? I don't work there anymore so it's no holes barred!

Oh this is gonna be fun :)

Another day dawns

Current mood: jedi
Category: Life

And, ok so I might still be feeling somewhat irritated with ones self after yesterday but have woken feeling slightly more refreshed by it all, even if my cold/flu/lurgy thing does seem to have come back with a vengeance.

So now I have got to drag my sorry arse out of bed, change the unhealthy sheets on the bed (oh the joys of being ill) and somehow figure out how exactly I am supposed to do 'anything' without collapsing on the floor in an aching heap.

I really do hate being ill, it annoys me to the core not being able to do chuff all especially when the only things I can do is evidently listen to my brain going into overdrive about crap I really cant change (and quite frankly wouldn't want to)

This is where the problems start – thinking is defiantly bad for you.

The good thing is, I now realise I should no longer ever listen to my mate Hayley on matters relating to anything to do with men as she is obviously very bitter towards anyone with a set of testicles and would chop them off in a heartbeat. Fair enough she is probably only looking out for me but that kind of help I can do without it seems. (Also explains why she has been single for some time!)

So I shall force my arse out of the pit now and make an effort to try to at least join the human race for all of 5 mins before giving up and going back to sleep.

Oh you utter arse “Arse”

Current mood: ashamed
Category: Life

Right, I am not going to go into details here as to be honest I'd be here all bloody night.

All I want to say is that sometimes in life for some complete unknown reason I am a complete and utter pillock, winding myself up into a completely pointless frenzy stressing myself out for the stupidest of reasons… of which then spend the aftermath of said incident banging ones head against a brick wall thinking "now why on earth did you do that you dopey fucking tart?"

Now is one of those moments.

Lets just say that this evening If I could have changed it I would have taken out the whole 4 hours of me being a complete twat and just skipped to the phone conversation I had 20 mins ago.

Sometimes I really do wonder how the hell I got to 33 without being hit by a bloody bus.

For fucks sake, you'd think I would learn by now wouldn't you?
