Cross-Dressing Offer

Why don't I dress up as Debbie Bliss and lie in a camp bed during your knitting event? I could sign folks' jotters and knitting bags and if they ask me, I'd just say I caught MRSA from a dirty knitting needle and have to wear a bag on my head to hide the hole in my face eaten away by the flesh-eating bug...
Let me know if you want me to do that and I'll come down.

Sam (or should that be Debbie...)

Yeah, Debbie...

No, wait... Sam

Yeah, Sam

Stickle bricks...

Hey Sam good to hear that training is in the offing, that will make you more appealing...unlike the Double Decker situation. I have gone back to Scottish Slimmers because of Double Deckers. They are going to teach me how to eat them more sensibly!! Slower and with more chewing I think!
As far as the a..e scan is that something I could help you with? Remember my training on Sonya's veruca and your Stickle brick's. I sometimes think no-one remembers that I got VERY positive feedback from Dr. Andrews on my fine workmanship, anyway give it some thought, it could make the whole episode much less embarrassing (ho ho ho).
Speaking of Ho Ho Ho,, Mum is coming up to us for Chrissy and we would love for you to come as weeeel, to celebrate with a meal etc...Obviously you may get a better offer (I dont consider sitting on your own with a Fray Bentos pie a better offer tho'!) so I would understand!!
Good work on the Rambo front, we just shut the curtains and call the police and get them to register our phone call then switch the TV up. Sadly here its about 25 12 year olds terrorising the place.
Anyhoo, hop everyone else is well. We have organised a massive knitting event for tomorrow (Sunday 21st) with Debbie Bliss (knitting goddess) coming and over 50 people attending but...we got a call on Thursday that she is too ill to travel and would we like to cancel the event...well I almost died with anxiety but we are going ahead with the event and will just have to wing it. Everyone who signed up is still up for coming, anything for a day out...
Anyway, email soon

A**e Scan comment

Just re-read my previous post, and in hindsight realise my comment about an a**e scan seems flippant. Didn't mean that at all. I'll be going to the doc to ask for one, myself.

Web Designing Street Fighter

Aye aye

Spoke to Cludgie yesterday and she reminded me that I had been telling everyone I was applying for jobs and had interviews, but hadn't updated anyone on what had happened... so I'm filling in the gaps now!

I went for an interview for training so I can move into online publishing at the BBC (and out of radio). The training is what I need to help me when I apply for jobs working on BBC websites. Anyhoo, I was accepted to join the training programme and hopefully I'll start that over the coming weeks - maybe before Xmas. And that's it. Not a job, but the first step to help me move into New Media.

Other news: I almost had a scrap in the street the other night cos some louts were making a racket in my closey. I tore down the stairs like John Rambo (except without the bandana)... (or the muscles)... (or the Palseyed bottom lip)... (STOP! you get the joke) and managed to get three to step into the street purely by eyeballing them, the fourth only went flying through the doorway on the end of my trainer, but come the fifth I realised the error of my ways and called the cops to deal with him. (Honestly, 12-year-old boys can be a handful)
But, I actually had a bigger argument with the guy on the end of the 999 line! He lectured me about people tying up emergency lines with minor and irrelevant queries, then I started barking at him that I didn't have a spider in the bath, but actually had a reason to call. When the cops finally called me back it was about 0200, and most veins on my neck were popped through frustration. I tried lecturing him about customer service and that I could have been kicked to death in the street. He cleverly said yes, sir. Point taken. Good night and hung up!

And that's the highlight of the paast month.
I've not had a drink in 3 weeks now, have taken to eating sweets (Double Deckers, mainly) to give me something to look forward to, and have nudged over 15stones in weight. I gotta lose some pounds.

Glad to hear mum had her a**e scan and hope Moya's is on the mend.

Na noo, na noo

piccys.....






















We excitedly went to Boots to pick up our 2 rolls of film and I could hardly wait to open up the packets to look at them. Imagine my disappointment when I realised that everyone was short and fat in the piccy's!! Peter has discovered that I over stretched the film by continuously rolling it on trying to get 36 snaps from a 24 roll, causing distortion...owch...Anyhoo he has fixed the good ones as there were also quite a lot with my thumb in them...eeek....



Before I go, peter got the confirmation of his citizenship yesterday, all very exciting. We go to Dunfermline on 31st October so he can get sworn in...

Wheel Chair Derby...

Hey there, Peter and I are a little depressed now that the wedding is over, nothing to look forward to...or is there...We do like the idea of a wheel chair derby, perhaps at the next family wedding!!
I am still giggling at the sight of Ben trying to get Mum's pants off the line with his teeth (that being the completion of the wheel chair assault course) very funny when he realised who's pants they were..pure comedy gold...
Anyhoo, we just put out photo's in to be processed so we'll see how they compare to the real photographer's which are great. Has everyone had a look, I think you can order them off his websight.
