More knackered than I ever imagined....

Obviously it's not just work causing this... that would be silly! No, both myself and nib's have contracted some sort of 'consumption' over the past week and a bit. Both of us are struggling with being a right tired couple of buggers, stomachs quite a bit off and generally completely bollocksed left right and centre.

Fortunately nibs has had the sense to actually go sick from work (well today and probably tomorrow as well) where as dip shit here has still been in regardless due to wanting to get this sodding big survey done and the fact that it's been getting on my tits of late due to the weather scuppering every attempt to get get done which is a sod.

Fingers crossed today was the last day there - well until they change their minds about how much more they want surveyed. I'm still loving doing the job though, regardless of how daft it can be :)

So now I intend on drinking a couple of Pernod & Dr pepper's, slipping into a big bed and snoozing off before getting up at silly o'clock again tomorrow morning to go do some setting out... Lovely stuff ;)

sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeepppppppp hmmmmmmmmmmm :)

Well I'll be wrapped up in bacon and called a sausage...

Don't ask, I really don't know why I actually put that as a title but not to worry.

So here's the Bio mechanics report after being pulled, poked, made to walk up and down, looked at - poked and pulled again by a blonde Geordie bloke...

The technical version he gave me was long, very delicately put and quite tactful.
To which after me sitting there looking somewhat confused for a good silent minute said
"So there's fuck all wrong with me then?"

That'll be a yes then. Bugger. Which can only mean I now need to think of another reason as to why after any length of time on my feet my knee balloons up like - well, a balloon really.

But at least I do now have a nice long list of things it isn't I suppose...
( Yes, I am muttering to myself *sigh*)

Oh hellooooooo!

Oh give me a break, life is good and for once I actually shut up moaning and bugger me get told off for it... I just can't win!

Ok then so I shall update on the good points for a change and hopefully make an effort in future to continue with such thoughts.

So there is the "oh look I seem to have someone else living with me" these days. Funny really, considering when talking to my next door neighbour the other day even she mentioned when I first started see his nibs I was adamant this wasn't going to be a long term thing. Whoops, that didn't work then, however I will say that it did me good favour as it's taken a good year to get our arses into gear with it all and that is certainly isn't a bad thing.

Then we have work, that's going really well. Had my first wage packet over the weekend and as slim as it is, it's still good enough to make me feel all warm and fuzzy earning again. Great feeling that!

The last weekend I went down to visit Widge for her post birthday celebrations of going to the greyhound track. How much fun was that! I've never been before granted and I certainly didn't go home with more money in my wallet but I didn't lose out completely winning at least 4 if the races I bet on. Excellent stuff. I was certainly glad to come home early on the Sunday as well as the whole "Britain goes to shit" due to the fact it snowed like bollocks! Even Her royal Widgeness was impressed with her 4" I can tell you as she sent me a photo! Thanks for the weekend both Widge & Del, had a fantastic time as per usual :)

Then last night Nibs and I went round to visit his best mate Paulious who in true love style is toddling off to Gretna green in March to marry Kelly of which they have only just gotten themselves aquainted again after many years of for some reason having not seen each other... It's all a bit quick, yes but the two are really properly in love bless them and I for one wish them both much happiness and the best for the future - not that they will need it the pair are perfect for each other, they really are.
So the visit last night was for me and Kel to actually meet and I'm very glad to say we did and got on like a house on fire. She's a great lass bless her and I can see us two getting on great in the future.

Then tomorrow we have my long awaited (my arse) appointment with the biomechanical people in one of the hospitals in Norwich. How cool is that? Will I finally get to sort my knee out? I do bloody hope so! Then also get videoed in a non porn star stylie ;)

So today - I am must be said feeling somewhat fragile. I would say it was due to drinking but it's not, I think i'm just absolutly knackered and should partake in a nice nap whilst nibs is watching the football.... I like having him here "officially"

Guilty as charged m'lud (again, but worth it)

Alright, alright so I have been 'missing in action' for a while there - but I do have some bloody good reasons of which I now feel strong enough to share with you all....

The new job has been really grand. More busy than expected and certainly keeping me on my toes for sure. Working with Brendan, Bob & Shirley is certainly a giggle.
Currently surveying the grounds of a country house hotel (Lyndford Hall) out near Thetford way which is both knackering and fun to be working doing something I love again.

Then we also have the good news (well for him) That 'nibs' has his posting to Afghanistan in September - which is better than the Feb /March I was initially expecting. I am very proud of the fact he is very good at scouts and will in no doubt do a superb job when over there and all will be well. But to go for a whole bleeding year is gonna pretty much cripple me.

Well at least he will be home for his 40th birthday in May which is nice. He has also already had his birthday boots he was after, as his pressie from me.

So what other amazing things have I been up to in the last two weeks???

Oh yes - now I remember, that will be the fact that I managed to stop smoking on New Years Eve... and am still two weeks later off the weed...well I'll be!
And have I done the usual dosed up with nicotine replacement products, chewing on foul tasting gum, sucking on manky mints are are not actually really minty? No I have not... I have finally found something that made me want to just stop cold turkey which wasn't just for me.
I stopped because I want to spend as much time with nibs as physically possible. even looking up on occasion saying;
"I really like this one, can I keep him please?"

If he goes and gets splatted in Afghanistan, I am straight back on them again just to spite, in fact I might even take up cigars and a pipe as well to really prove the point that life is a right cunt sometimes.

It's all go from here on in...

Well tomorrow it all starts... at 9am (ish) I will be starting my first day with DSS surveying again. I really can't wait. To be able to have a job again is just fantastic and I for one will be completely stoked.

The good thing is I didn't know it was all starting tomorrow until this morning when I got an email from Boss man no 1 which is grand. I like emails like that :)

So what else is new? Ahhh yes, yesterday I went sea fishing for the first time and it was superb! If not somewhat cold but that made it all the better.
Yes, I did catch one but it was only a little pissy thing but I still caught it all the same and was dead chuffed. Was quite funny at that point watching nib's go into a bit of a competitive streak that I had caught one and he hadn't lol but it all evened itself up again later.

So today's efforts are to sit back and lard... whilst hinting at nib's things he needs to do as I am not waiting hand and foot on any sod today!

The first day of the rest of my life....

Ok, so maybe the title is a bit of a swizz, as every bleeding day is the first day of the rest of your life but it did sound ever so slightly poignant initially :P

Either way, it's now the second day into 2009 and as far as years go it's not doing too badly.

The initial 'seeing in the new year' didn't quite go to plan but I must admit did make me laugh.

I had though that 'nibs' was going down south to visit his Mum. That didn't happen due to work not giving him enough notice of time off. Then we came up with a plan to drive somewhere to allow us to watch over all the fireworks over town as they kicked in.

We finally decided on staying home, having the last two bits of cake in the afternoon and waiting up until the witching hour to crack open some pink champers he had bought and celebrate.
It was getting rather dubious at 10:30pm that either of us would be able to stay awake until Midnight so he set an alarm "just in case we dozed off" lol and the pair of us, somewhat off our tits, zonked right out.

Next thing I remember was 'nibs' leaning over me saying:
"It's 00:20, the alarm didn't go off.... Happy New Year"
Whoops....lmao

Not to worry, we stayed in bed all day yesterday and the pink champers 'got it' at lunchtime...

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas/ New year whatever you were doing.


Then also yesterday I had the amazing ability to damage myself left right and bloody centre.

Not quite sure as to where this 'clumsy twat factor' came from but I am suffering today from it.

I successfully managed to slice into one of my pinkies with a sodding open beans can... right where it's now plastered form makes it a shit to bloody type.
Then just for a giggle whilst having a shower, managed to catch my elbow on the shower screen. Now many of you might now be thinking "How could that be painful? Stop moaning" Fair enough but I would now like to point out that my shower screen is made of glass and I managed to catch the edge of the glass with what is normally described as the funny bone (fuck all funny here I can tell you) Yep, the bit "in"the elbow joint. All I am going to say is I have been struggling to get comfy all bloody night with it and have resorted to one of my neoprene elbow supports from the days when I had Golfers elbow - yes, keen golfer me lol.

Fingers crossed it will all calm down soon or maybe I will have to accept that for some strange reason fate has decided that in 2009 I am destined to be a right clumsy edjit instead of having another shite year.

Fair swap if you ask me.

Home again and all's well.

It's taken some time to get back into the 'swing of things' since returning home Saturday.

Not really having paid attention to the computer since my return am, awash with emails I need to deal with, have mad uncle still in the country needing to go shopping today and once again my home has been invaded by the "stoned gremlin" who comes in, chills right down then sprays every room with mess, like dirty plates, frying pans, crisps & sweeties in every direction. This can be dealt with later as I just don't have the energy of inclination to sort it all out right now.

So Christmas at big sisters was great, the biggest surprise being 'his nib's turning up out of the blue Boxing day which I was hoping for but didn't really expect. Made my Christmas that :)

Also a couple of 'incidents' of which one being my brother in law having a bit of a bad turn due to cake and as described by 'nibs' "proper stoned that boy" Pretty sure it annoyed sister as she didn't have too much and gave us giggling gits still downstairs very dirty looks whilst she was up to him in bed pandering to his every whim when in fact he just had a bit too much. Well hopefully he will realise he does have limits then.
Then just to top it off, the Saturday just before we left brother in law decided to burn some music off his iTunes for uncle Marmite so to save fucking about Marmite and I decided it would be quicker to just copy the whole directory onto my hard drive so he could pick and choose what he wanted. Brother in law went a bit loopy at this point, chucking a right flid of which both uncle and I found highly amusing even though we did stop to make sure he didn't just pop right there and then.

At this point I did explain that they could have a complete copy of my iTunes as well which dioes actually have more on it but alas the damage was done and once again we went back to wasting his disks burning stuff instead. He must have felt bad for reacting like that as apologised as we were getting in the car to leave which just made me laugh even more as I hadn't realised just how much he had flipped his lid.

Then there was The fact that saturday was Dief's 11th birthday and the poor little bugger spent most of it in the car coming home... not to worry, she got a nice big dinner when we did get there and by christ is that wee daeg knackered!

So Sunday seeing as Marmite (staying at Mothers) demanded once again another turkey 'Christmas' dinner decided that seeing as 'nib's never got to actually have a turkey roast at his waifes and strays crimbo could partake as well. We toddled round, ate, played poker then came home again ready to spend the rest of the day in bed waiting for Top Gear to appear on the telly. A nice chilled day all told.

So today, like an idiot I have awoken when nibs went to work (04:16) couldn't get back to sleep and have been updating ones life online... and now need to get arse into gear to take the family into the city for a bit of a shop.... remembering at some point to come home and clean up after the attack of the gremlin... looks like a shit tip.
