Shhh…

….I really shouldn’t be on here! I should be packing….

And sending parcels off….

And I’m nowhere near finishing any task….I’m stressed! So what do i do? I come on here, waste more time and feel more stressed and curse myself later for the time wasted, when i could have been doing the more important things…LOL…. I’m getting nowhere fast!

And breathe…So…as this is turning into a photo post…

Take a look at what arrived at my door the other day, I’m in love!..with…a bag! rah!

 

The bag is new and from the online store, BUT At the latest bootsale I aquired myself a BRAND SPANKING new C.Kidston Apron, complete with tags, for £3! It’s gorgeous….I was so very happy!!

I also aqquired some very gorgeous Benefit goodies and a lovely new organic smock top, again, new with tags still on!!  I am addicted!

 

urghhhh

I was just sat working on my website when my heart dropped into my stomach when a thought entered my head….”Gaahhhhhhhh, spinning…”

 

Once or twice a week i go to the UCW sessions at the gym, UCW – Ultimate Cycle Workout (or Spinning/Spin, as we call it) . I know another word for it, torture…dressed up as some kind of healthy exercise…yeah right. Lou booked me in this morning at 7.15 am, early I know, but as it’s very popular, you need to book as soon as the gym opens. It’s not enjoyable, feeling sweat run straight from the top of your back all the way down into the crack of your bum, nor is it fun to feel like you’re going to run out of breath at any given moment, nor is it fun when the instructor says “Lassst one!…” when you know full well that you have another 30 minutes of the crap to do. GAH indeed. Why is it so popular? the fact that you can burn 900 calories in a session says it all really…..

So yeah, now I have that to look forward to all day, nice one….

It is our moving day on monday, and i can see how every item will be placed, how organised and spacious it will all be upon moving in and settling in…., God I hope. I’ve had enough of clutter and dis-organisation!!! But I can’t wait!!!! A house!!! yay! On the 19th we are having a housewarming, and my friend Jo, a alcoholic of the highest kind (I joke…) has just told me she’s coming so i’d better start saving for some decent wine…LOL!!!!

stressy bird alert

Today was going to be one of those days, I just knew it, felt in in my bones when  I awoke at 6am by the early delivery lorry reversing in the car park and the extreme volume that the birds seemed to be singing at today.

I was worrying about my little car’s mot and service today so could not get back to sleep and just tossed and turned until I gave up….and alas, on getting into my darling of a machine –  found it had been driven into and left with a huge dent in my passenger side and my wing mirror hanging off!! I really wanted to cry and wring the neck of the person who dared to just leave it in such a state. =(

How dare they!

Trying not to stress about work (moving site to a new shop provider, gah!), Steve’s work (lots of quotes and admin to be done), The impending school hols (a whole fortnight of demanding and argumentative children…) and the thought of moving, even though it’s a good thing…moving to a HOUSE (joy of joys) but its the moving, packing, unpacking thats making me sweat. But fingers crossed though that it all goes ahead. We want this house, It’s perfect for us.

May this day,  NAY week get better!

xx

 

AND Re-lax…….

Right from the moment Lewis walked in broadcasting to anyone who listened that it was 8am and we were “laaaaaaaate!” I knew it would be just one of those days.

So we sped off to school, hair stuck up, collar at odd angles, toothpaste smeared on cheeks, and yes that was just ME, you should have seen the kids for heavens sake!

It has been constant today. I haven’t had a chance to browse at leisure with a cuppa at Facebook, poking people and posting silly pictures on ’super walls’. Nor have I had the time to watch programmes about car boot sales and property auctions. What!? Thats not good thats not!

Today I packed up orders, checked my stock levels, added to my inventory, printed invoices, tidied up my folders, added more items online, registered with shopping directories, emailed Kelkoo.com, registered with google checkout, ‘paused’ my google adwords. Added a bookmark feature online, trundled to the local post office, posted packed up orders from the morning, got home – stuffed my face and now……..

I’m having my coffee…so leave me alone.

GGGRR.

Kids are with their ‘other parents’ this weekend.

Oh bliss. Peace, quiet and a blitz they left behind to tidy before their return on monday.

Bah!

NOVEMBER 16th:

I’m so lucky that the pc is right by the warmest heater in the flat.

I’m contemplating entering the shower, but it seems it’s that cold in the bathroom that I could probably see my breath in front of me if I actually went in there that is.

I’m such a chicken with the cold. Wrap me in thermals and place me by the radiators and I’m happy.

Brrrr!

It’s D-day today, ack! My stock is currently ALL over the living room, lucky for me the boys aren’t here this morning. I’m panicking oh so very slightly now. Think I may need to take some calm pills………………………eak!

November 15th 

It’s all quite refreshing to me how Steve is totally devoid of information, stories (whether it be fact or fiction) about spiritualism, alternative religions, alternative medicines/therapies etc.

Up to the age of 16, Steve was brought up as a Jehovah’s witness. Then he announced to his parents that he no longer wanted to be part of the community and religion itself. Can you imagine the impact? I’ve never delved deep about that part of his life but I can only imagine how hard it was for everyone.

Since then he has never been with anyone who has challenged his thoughts on mortality, made him think about the bigger picture.

I wouldn’t call myself anything (besides a silly tart sometimes…!!)

I don’t worship any god, I don’t have a devout belief about this universe, how it was made, why we are here, what happens when we die.

I am who I am, I love the earth, I marvel about the complexity of humans, the universe, how we work, grow, re-new. It fascinates me but I’ll always wonder, how? why?

I don’t believe in the big bang theory, we are built too clever for that surely? We are not just particles, we are particles placed together in a manner which is too clever for me to think about.

So. What was I originally writing about? Oh yes, Steve!
I don’t have a belief in one thing, but I keep my mind open and I read and watch and look into things which doesn’t necessarily mean I follow these things, just interested in them.

I own a pack of Tarot cards. I carry a beautiful tigerstone and rose quartz crystal in my pocket. I have attended 2 Clairvoyant demonstrations out of curiousity but with the upmost respect also to the spiritualists. I listen avidly to sermons and pray in church on rare occasions.

Steve at first found this amusing, but now he watches these programmes and questions me about it all, LOL! Just last night we were led on the bed talking, I can’t remember the subject, when Steve asked me a question about Mediums such as Colin Fry and Tony Stockwell, “if they can talk to the dead, then why don’t they tell them what its like where they are??” and we just talked and talked and you could see he was really interested.

It amazes me how some people just plod on through their life not giving a thought at all about the meaning of their life and what ‘its’ all about. I’m pleased that on some level I’ve opened Steve’s mind a little

Anyhow, today is another busy ‘un. More messing around with the shop, labeling more things for tomorrows ladies night. Too much to think about cos then I’ll start panicking!

Better get going then!
