LOL according to my account i have not updated my journal for a hundred weeks!.....i really must try harder!

Anyway this year i am either going to get fit or die of a heart attack! My work place as signed all of us up to do the London to Brighton bike ride on June 21. This will be a challenge as i get out of breathe just pedaling to the end of the road let alone riding 52 miles! And i also plan to do a abseiling thing in April. Both of these are for charity so if anyone wants to sponsor me let me know.

Also last year i joined the Burgess Hill Bonfire Society a local group that puts on a firework display in September (there are a lot of bonfire society's in sussex that take it in turns to host there displays in the run up to november the 5th) so this morning i have be making torches for the precession.

Hopefully you won't have to wait so long for the next update!

Today i got mail well actually Shirl got mail but enclosed with the letter newdreamchild sent me a nice piece of quarts! Nobody sends me mail so yay  =D

For my birthday, today, I recieved a gorgeous gemstone globe which I've wanted for ages from Shirley and a few smaller stones from her parents to add to my collection. I also got a book called Heaven and Earth which is full of pictures of things under the microscope.

Ok so i just been away for a week in Wales without Shirley which is actually the longest we have ever spent apart-even when i lived in Ashford 80 miles and drove a old uncomfortable petrol guzzling landrover i used to see her at least twice a week so i've been missing my princess even more than i thought i would.Can't quite remember everything i did but i went down a old coal mine which was really interesting.For details see http://www.museumwales.ac.uk/en/bigpit/tour/
Also did some shopping in Cardiff which as really changed loads since i last went but then again that would of been about 5 years ago!Um i took a nice scenic drive around one of my favorite parts Wales..the Elan Valley with its stark landscape and man made reservoirs.Apart from that the only other thing a can remember doing at the moment is the two day training course on Neuson dumpers which was the real reason i went to Wales but decided to make a week of.It just a shame Shirl didn't come with me but i bought her a pretty pendent back.

Apart from drive back yesterday we both went round my brothers to swap easter eggs and birthday presents between Cameron who was 4 last week, Summer who will be 1 in a couple of weeks and collected my own which is tomorrow screws up face and cringes at the thought of getting older and also gave my brother and sister in law a welsh love spoon for there 5th (wood) wedding anniversary which was the day after Cams birthday so had a pretty busy day yesterday!

I'm Pentheraphobia!



You're Pentheraphobia, the fear of mother-in-laws!

What's your obscure phobia?

cus i figured my life is too boring but i'll have a go.Mot'd my car on Saturday somehow it passed but i got a few jobs to do to it............afterwards i decided to adjust the radio aerial and managed to snap it off....doh!That's almost as dumb as Shirls dad breaking off his rear view mirror. Work is a bit quite at the moment which is annoying cuz i have to find jobs to book time to or i don't get paid.sometimes i think i should of stayed on at school to get a better job/the uni experience instead of just fixing tractors and diggers but never mind too late now besides i used to hate school! But saying that when i got more work to keep me busy i'll be happier cus i like to keep busy and fix things and of course the overtime is a great help towards the house fund.grrrrrrrr damn stupid house prices.

Apparently i come across as rude and aggressive on here?Ok i guess i do swear a lot but most of the time i put up a false front that i guess drives people away from wanting to get to know me but when i open up i can be very sensitive and caring.so who thinks i'm a asshole?And what can i do to be less of one and get more friends and maybe in turn actually go out and socialize?

Ok so i finally had to go back to work today after a long lazy christmas holiday from work cus i had time to carry over from last year and tell my boss i killed my work mobile by dropping it down my brothers toilet and then if that wasn't bad enough when i get back from work i had a car insurance renewal waiting for me which is due at the end month which i was expecting to go up due to it getting broken into again last year even though nothing was stolen but some fucking thieving bastard nice person decided to punch a hole through the door instead of just smashing some easier and cheaper to fix glass.Plus some weird incident that my car was apparently in even though it was being repaired from said break in at the time!!!!!!!!So anyway i was expecting my car insurance to go up a little from the usual £500ish but not up to a whooping £2100!!!! Thats more than my car is worth for fuck sake!so i done a little shopping around and managed to find a lot better cover for a much more realistic £800 but its still more than i was wanting to pay :( i guess tomorrow can only get better but somehow i doubt it.

In the year 2007 I resolve to: To be a bitch. Get your resolution here.

Yeah like fucking hell it will be!

Anyways new years eve Shirley sent me packing round to my brothers house in Ashford cus i was annoying her too much like i usually do!!! to finish off my fireworks for the kids....i think Cameron is going to grow up to be a even bigger pyromaniac than me (and that's saying something :S) he absolutely loves fireworks and he's not even 4 years old yet.Its a shame Shirley didn't feel well enough to come he was a little disapointed his favorite auntie didn't come with me.

I love spending time with my niece and nephew.Cameron gets all excited when he's told i'm coming round and runs straight up to the window or the door looking for his "uncle eewgal" and when i'm there he's so bossy........"sit down, play cars, play tractor,chase me" ect..
And little Summer is only 8 or 9 mouths old but is already tall for her age and always smiling.Even though i'm afraid i'll break it's great fun looking after her but she is so quick even if she isn't quite walking but i don't think it will be long.

Started of 2007 with the kids which was extremely tiring fun but worth it =) followed but a delicious dinner cooked by my sister-in-law Lindsey.Whose parents had also come down all the way from Scotland to see there grand kids.Lindsey's dad and is the spiting image of Sean Connery!!! is a church minister and performed the wedding himself with all the blokes dressed in the brides family clan kilts which i though looked awesome but anyways he was telling us how he found a spliff in his churchyard a was thinking about try it to see what smoking weed is like but didn't in case it was too strong :o

Yesterday went to Ashford to give my brothers family there christmas presents and got to spend loadsa time playing with my nephew and niece who i both adore and spoil even more than Shirley!!!!!!!so yay for spending time with the kids.I'd love some of my own but its so nice to be able to hand them back after they've worn you out......they remind me of the old Duracell bunnie advert go on and on forever where do they find the energy?

But today i had to go into work and sort out a couple of diggers....god dammit its meant to be my christmas holidays but hey more money towards the house fund so another step closer to escaping the mother in law though saying that i'd rather live here than with my own mother!

I need help to make it more interesting i'm so boring :(

My first entry woo.
