my diary ~ no more CD for me

[kati]

Is this the bloke in Wales??

I'm like you with money, seems to go nowhere fast, and yet when I am smashed I dont really miss it....strange that!!

Cant the ex take on his fatherly duties and go to parents evening??? Of would it just kill him lol

I'm freezin constantly too....not even funny....my boss in work told me I was being silly when I refused to take my coat off cos I was cold!! Cheeky git!!


Spill the beans on the bloke girl!!

ok
not the bloke in Wales..

I think the money just disappears of its own accord, sure of it!

The ex will be at work so cant expect him to go to parents evening (my sister is babysitting)

You need some thermal undies!!!!! I was asking the builders at work (nice builder wasnt there, he has a girlfriend anyway so off my list of potentials) how they keep their toes warm, they were no help they just said get a blow torch and use it on your feet

there arent really any beans to spill yet. Met him, he's kind of nice, lots of talking and texting but no arrangements made for anything yet. he lives 40 minutes drive away but works quite close. Older than me and has a 6 year old daughter. Divorced, living with parents (for now he says) and was very sweet when we met.

 

[kazz]

hmmm, not enuf info!! Will discuss on msn lol

forgot to take my pedometer again oops. I need to get it out tonight so I dont forget it in the morning. I'm not fully awake at 6 am to be trying to sort it out then. i think I'm going to leave the heating on all night tonight because I just dont want to get out of bed when it's so cold in the morning, plus I cant sleep with it being sooo cccold. Poor doggy gets cold as well and snuggles up too much so i cant move in bed (i dont care if you don't like dogs on the bed, he's my dog and its my bed. He's alone through the day he doesn't need to be alone at night too)

Mrs stickinsect is back to annoying me by doing stupid things again. caught her trying to give someone luke warm sausages, that is just not on, could give them food poisoning for a start! she's done other things too but that was the worst one. It's been discovered her husband was wrongly diagnosed and isn't one step away from his death bed so now she's gone back to being dopey. I preferred her when she was worried and couldnt concentrate cos she got things right then and had a bit of common sense, now she's gone back to normal. we've got someone coming in in the morning to be kind of interviewed. we get too busy at lunch time so we lose customers because we just cant serve them quickly enough. Hope she's not as dopey.

somehow I left the chiller at work switched off last night so the whole thing defrosted and leaked all over the floor (oooops!) the mats we have to stand on were soaked and I have holes in my trainers so have had soggy cold feet all day, wasn't good. It took me an hour to get to work too, what a nightmare. My windscreen wash thingies were frozen so I could hardly see out the window too. I had to detour to the other shop and get some water to clean it.

Finally arranged to go out with new bloke on sunday. I asked here we're going and he said we could o for a drink, a meal, pictures whatever, up to me. grrr. I complained about having to make a decision so he said dont worry you have plenty of time to choose. So I got him back by saying we could go for a drink but he could pick where we went. He said I was cheating but went for it anyway. So there you go. No further developments. I do have lots of aww he's so sweet moments...but do I want sweet? lol I think I should give up on the rough manly types cos they're all useless, but i could never live up to how well new blokes mother looks after him. I'm just not that way inclined, not even with my own kids. (I do look after them, just I don't do EVERYTHING for them when theyre perfectly capable of doing it themselves)

 

[kati]

well i've got my pedometer set and all ready to use. Have had a bath and am all ready for bed. had 2 tetras and a sandwich today (damn CB) and all set to not eat tomorrow. Don't know why really since I have to eat on saturday. hmmmm. I'm very defeatist arent I.

Might have put new bloke off saying i'm not into sports whereas he's very sporty. Oh well, if he doesn't like me then he doesn't like me. It's only likely to have any effect on my life if he does like me.

I'm tired, want to go to bed. forgot to buy cat littter (flippin smelly cat) so the house stinks cos i cant change it.

NOW MY COMPUTERS GONE FUNNY AND WILL ONLY LET ME TYPE IN CAPITALS AND WONT LET ME TALK TO ANYONE ON MSN GRRRRR

 

[kati]

finally took my pedometer, done 9000 steps, how far is that on average? my pedometer is supposed to tell me but I havent worked out which button to press and dont want to reset it before I go to bed.

ate today again, it's soo hard but I really need to do more about my belly before it gets too much bigger. It's getting huuuuge.

My eldest son told me today I need to find myself a boyfriend cos it's about time I did something about that. hmmm, yes it's that easy apparently. He told me I have to go on a dating site lol. then 5 minutes ago one of the twins asked me how my dating is going!!! wonder what they're after.

 

[kazz]

oooohhh kidz definately sound like they are up to something...wonder wat it is though!!! Mybe they have an inkling about your upcoming date and are trying to get more info outta ye??

No idea how much 9000 steps is hun, but it sounds pretty dam impressive!!!

 

[kati]

hmm it was very quiet at work, I thought i would do a lot more walking than that to be honest. I just wondered how far it might be. Not that it makes much difference though.

I havent told the kids a thing about the date on sunday. don't know why they'd suddenly come out with that.

just remembered nice builders friend Happy (guess why we call him that) is going to be out the same place as me on saturday! will have to behave in case he goes into work telling stories lol

 

[Happe]

4000 steps is around 3.5-4 miles.

 

[kati]

wow really? I didnt think it would be that far. Thanks

 

[kati]

ok worked it out, the whole 9000 steps is about 3.5 miles based on an average 2ft step, not 4000. i thought it semed a lot!

I've done 9000 again so far today. it's only 6 20 though so I'm sure I can get another 1000 steps in before bedtime tonight. Also today i didnt put my pedometer on before I left the house but i did yesterday so have already done a few more steps . Wich is strange really because it was sooo quiet at work today. However we have been told that greggs is closing for refurbishment soon so that will bring in a lot more business for a while.

Happy told me this morning that he wont be in the same place as me tomorrow night any more and that I should go to durham instead. Er Durham in this weather??? I dont think so somehow. apart from the millions of cobbles everywhere it's all (seriously) hills. Hills, cobbles, ice, high heels and alcohol simply dont mix well if you ask me.

My left foot is so sore. the ankle always hurts when i do a lot of walking (todays wasn't a lot) but now the side of my foot hurts to touch. It has hurt for a while ut not as much. Ouch.

I told mrs stick insect today that if I say anything about having something to eat at work she has to tell me "dont eat that you're getting fat!" she told me not to be silly but I'm going to keep reminding her to say it to me. I'll be reminding myself too while I'm reminding her. Going shopping tomorrow so I think I might try and get one of those pairs of big knickers to hold my belly in. I'll need it after going for that meal tomorrow night. so on my shopping list will be... makeup, big knickers and trainers (the ones I usually wear have holes in, not good for snowy weather)

I've had to start taking a bottle of water in the car to wash my windscreen with on the way to work otherwise I cant see where I'm going. How do other people manage to see? my windscreen wash thingies are always frozen till I'm just about at work so wont squirt and the wipers just spread the muck even worse so when the cars are shining their headlights at me I might as well be driving with my eyes shut. Going over the tyne bridge is the worst bit, scary! so hopefully my bottle of water wont freeze over night as well. Not that I'm at work tomorrow thankfully!

my ex for the past 3 weeks has been trying to get out of having the kids saying he's been invited out here there and everywhere well tonight he's done it again and I'm just fed up with it. If I am meant to have the kids I either find someone to babysit or I dont go out. I don't ask him to have them so i think he should give me the same consideration. I'm not his babysitting service. Anyway, got the birthday meal tomorrow, date with new bloke on sunday and need a rest on monday lol so he can have his kinds when he's meant to have them not when he feels like it.

A couple of trainees from the new hairdressers along the street came in today and offered us cheap hair cuts so they can practice on us (eek!) I jokingly asked if they were trying to tell us we look like we need it and they said yes!!! cheeky little "! maybe I do ned my hair done but there's no chance they're getting their hands on it! their salon is too expensive anyway and they're all too cocky.

need to cook tea for kids, clean house, etc tongith but I really just want to go to sleep. No wonder I get tired aftr work considering the amount of walking I do even on a quiet day! I'm glad I got my pedometer now, i hate to think how much I'll have to do on a busy day.

Tomorrow will have to take doggy for a long walk, plus will be walking round the metro centre (huuuuge shopping centre) and ill be out dancing and everything on the night so should get plenty of exercise then.

 

[cazmaz_irl]

WOW, your walking your ass off girl,,,,I must dig out my pedometer and see how much I walk around during the day, not as much as you thats for sure, i'll check it on Monday LOL...then we can race each other,,,no way you'd win hands or fee down LOL

I told mrs stick insect today that if I say anything about having something to eat at work she has to tell me "dont eat that you're getting fat!" she told me not to be silly but I'm going to keep reminding her to say it to me. I'll be reminding myself too while I'm reminding her.

Did ya tell Mrs SI about CD or just telling her to stop ya snacking??

Going shopping tomorrow so I think I might try and get one of those pairs of big knickers to hold my belly in. I'll need it after going for that meal tomorrow night. so on my shopping list will be... makeup, big knickers and trainers (the ones I usually wear have holes in, not good for snowy weather)
LOL, Bridget Jones eat your heart out, big knickers, trainers and a cardi was what she ended the 1st movie wearing, do ya think its a look, ya could carry LOL
I've had to start taking a bottle of water in the car to wash my windscreen with on the way to work otherwise I cant see where I'm going.

Breaking News, go into your local petrol station, you can buy anti freeze for windscreen water in any of them, then frozen water and windscreens will be a thing of the past..LOL

Hope ya get stuff done tonight, but take it easy you need your rest,,,talk soon Caz

 

[kati]

lol i was laughing all the way through your replies there. ok definately will race ya, I think I'd win too though lol

I didnt tell mrs SI about CD I just told her to stop me snacking. I'll tell her I've eaten before she gets there and dont want to have anything else till I sit down to eat with the kids for tea.

lol the bridget jones bit was the funniest. I completely forgot how it ended. Ok I'll have the knickers, trainers, already got a few cardis, we have snow too. All I need now is colin firth with his big coat mmmm. Ok New bloke will have to do bt I doubt he has the coat. Oh well he's really sweet anyway, just sent me a photo of the snow he has to drive through to get home. I told him not to crash cos I need him in 1 piece on sunday!

hmm I have anti freeze in my windscreen wash, its the bits it comes out of on the bonnet that gets frozen after its been snowed on. Maybe I just dont have enough in it.

lol if theres anything interesting to tell I'll let you know as soon as I can. If not sunday night then maybe I'll text you on monday lol. I cant imagine it being that exciting.

I got given free tickets to a rugby match today. I thought maybe I could take him there for somewhere to go in a couple of weeks, but thats getting a bit ahead of myself. Need to see how sunday goes first. Not that I like rugby or anything, just I know he likes sport and its something different (for me anyway). Someone else might pinch the tickets tomorrow though cos I left them at work oops

didnt get anything done. been lying down with my eldest cos he wasnt well and wanted a cuddle. I've still managed another 500 stps thouh somehow

 

[kazz]

Hope the date goes well hun!

 

[kati]

thanks Kazz, he's picking me up at 8 but still no idea where we're going yet.

just watching rugby, ooh a big punch up!!! I knew it was a rough game but really didnt think they were that bad. Ok who knows about rugby? does Johnny wilkinson play for the newcastle Falcons? if he does maybe it is worth using those free tickets I got given the other day lol maybe I should google them and see.

erm... what was i going to say? got thrown of track there

ok er yesterday...was all set for a lie in, cleaning house up till kids went to their dads then off to the metro centre to do my bridget jones impression like Caz was saying but id that happen? nooooo far from it.

I got woken up by a phone call to say the girl that works in my mams other shop had broken her wrist so my mam was panicking cos she couldn't cope on her own (it's a kind of bakery, do their own pies etc but buy bread in) so I had to jump out of bed, get myself and the kids ready and go and help her. Got the kids all in the car, got it to the end of the street then it conked out and wouldnt start gain!! AH BLOODY COMPUTERS GONE MAD AGAIN SO STUCK WITH CAITAL LETTERS>

WELL i just (ooh we're back to normal already) joined the RAC on thursday night how lucky was that!!!

Anyway, got to the shop didn't really know what I was doing there cos it's different to our shop but it's not hard to pick up once you get going. Anyway, got stuck there all day. the boys dad came for them at about 2 (poor kids were bored stiff out the back of the shop and must have eaten half the profits lol) that shop is a lot (LOT) bigger than ours but I didnt do half as much walking. I've worked out our kitchen is 37 steps away from the shop part so every time someone wants something I need to go to the kitchen for that's at least 70 steps per item. Not like that in the other shop.

I finally got home from there at about 5 then had to have a bath, had to get out of the bath cos my sisters boyfriend turned up, then had to get back in after he left then spent too long talking on here afer getting out of the bath so was half an hour late for my friends birthday meal. Ooops. Oh well it meant i missed the starters. I also didnt get to look on the menu to see what would have been the best meal I just had to guess what would be there that i like and said will you order that for me and I'll be there as soon as I can. so I got spaghetti carbonara. It wasn't as good as the restaurant thats within walking distance of my house. But because I missed the starters they wouldnt let me get away with skipping dessert so I had some tiramisu yum. but could only manage 2 drinks after that because I was sooo full. I cant imagine how full I'd have been if i didnt miss the starter. I wish I'd managed to get my holdy belly in knickers, but the people who were staring at me didnt seem to mind my belly sticking out (dont think they noticed to be honest)

There was one bloke who was staring so much and craning his neck to see past my friend to be able to see me, we decided his glasses must be special ones that makes him able to see through clothes. He was really really bad. He didn't bother talking to me but I walked past he said very loudly to his mate " she's lovely her" I just gave him a dirty look and walked past without stopping. I should have offered him a picture then he could stare all he wants and I wouldn't have to put up with it.

there was another bloke on his way past tried to feel me up and told me he loved me!!!! how could I resist that eh? idiot.
Another bloke I'd actually thought was gorgeous came over and said "hello how are you? give me a kiss" I think all the charm schools round here must have closed down. But needless to say he didnt get his kiss but damn shame he wasn't a bit nicer cos I wouldnt have minded feeling his arms (big muscly ones mmm)

Er there was another ex there last night he was trying to get me to have a 1 night stand with him but I politely declined. He kept saying we're both grown ups, who is going to get hurt? I kept wanting to say "me!" but I didnt. i just told him that I have a date tonight and it's not fair on the bloke to do that the night before. He didn't care but I did.

er, thats all the ones that I noticed but the lass we were out with that I had never met before kept going on about how I'd scored with others without even noticing because she'd been watching. hmm, well if they're interested in me then they need to make themselves known wihtout being prats about it then dont they. Oh well. I'm sure it was all because of the cleavage that was on show they just wanted a good look.

Anyway, it got to about half 1 and I decided I'd had enough and came home and went to bed with my little hairy man (dog) instead. He doesnt care if my cleavage is on show or not lol, he loves me anyway.

Just sat in the house today. I really need to tidy the house but I cant be bothered to go shopping. Will go to the metro centre after work tomorrow instead. got a wonderful day to look forward to. Got to open the shop up and will be on my own till 10 (hope the builders have their break late tomorrow) then got our neew woman starting at 11 30 so have to show her the ropes (she'll probably teach us a thing or 2) and what else do I need to do? hmm cant remember. But I have to be able to get up in the morning on time first after tnights escapade. Doubt we'll be out too late cos he has to get up at 6 am too.

off to gooogle the falcons

 

[kati]

hmm he does play for the falcons but doesnt look too great in the photo they have on the site. Maybe he's lost his looks as he's getting older lol.

I met a couple of the team players when they came into my shop last summer. good looking blokes but they loved themselves way too much. so they're ok to look at but thats about it

 

[kati]

there's a website I look at every sunday called post secret. for those who have never heard of it it's a site where people send anonymous postcards in which tell their secret and the owner of the site puts them on there for all to see. He changes them evry sunday so i always look at it to see just how many of the secrets I can relate to. today there were 2 that jumped out at me. 1 said "I dont think I'll ever be loved" and another said "strangers are just friends waiting to happen. will you be mine?" I thought that was quite sweet, but have often thought along the lines of the first one that no one will ever really love me. Maybe I could be wrong

 

[kati]

I'm soo tired.

jumped out of bed at 6 40, had to drive to work via the other shop to pick up the flot for the till then get to work all alone mrs stick insect was late so had to manage the builder rush alone. It's a good job they're all nice lads and very patient with me. she finally came in after they all went and then there was no one in for ages.

The new lass came to start, she was ok, mrs stick insect didn't like her. She said she was a chef but I'm not sure she could have been. she has no idea about timing everything right. like waiting for things to be cooked before preparing the bread, thats just stupid and the food will be cold by the time its done. will have to get that sorted out.

One of the first things she said to me was oooh have you got a thyroid problem? then told me I should get it tested. hmm. last time someone sad that to me she pointed out how fat I was and that it was probably cos of my thyroid not working. Nice eh.

went to the shops after work and spent a fortune that I shouldnt have really on clothes and make up. Oh well ive got it now. would have stayed longer but had a friend phone and said "I'm on my way to yours come home now!" hmm, off I tottled. silly me. It'll be next sundaay before I get the chance to shop again like that.

Anyway I bought foundation, blusher, moisturiser stuff and 2 tops (both size 12) I only ent to buy foundation and trainers.

I have a problem with buying trainers though. It's a bit scary. I have this fear of walking into a shop and having everyone looking at me and thinking what on earth do you want trainers for you dont exactly look like you do any exercise. And I dont have a clue about them as in which ones do what or whatever.

I'm so tired, my throat hurts and my neck and head hurt. I've had 2 tetras and some lentil and bacon soup. I realised what I was doing halfway throuh the soup and said to mrs stick insect, oh no I just remembered you were supposed to stop me eating. So she said, but soup is good for you its the mayonnaise in the sandwich fillings I'd have stopped you having. While she munched on a packet of crisps.

 

[kati]

oh, my pedometer somehow reset just before I checked how many steps I'd done when I was leaving work. So when I looked I'd done a grand total of 3 steps. Sooooo, I'll assume (from last weeks readings) that I did 8500 steps at work (remember its a guess) and since then I have done 3300 (yay for shopping) soooo thats a grand total of (approx and add on another couple of hundred cos have to take doggy out) 12000 steps for today!!! my left foot hurts!!!

 

[kati]

oh i also forgot to say. some of the stuff I bought was from elizabeth Arden and from buying that I've ended up being booked in or a free facial off them in debenhams next week. of course it'll all be about trying to get me to buy their products but who cares, it's a free facial! I've never had one before so it'll be a new experience anyway

 

[kati]

today has been a looong day.

got up went to work, took 55 minutes to get there (twice normal time)! so was a bit late. I was the only one there to open the shop and there was stuff everywhere that I haad to put away before I could do anything else. I just had time to take my coat off before the hoards started coming in wanting toast, coffee, baacon sarnies etc.. nightmare! I only just got the stuff put away before mrs stickinsect came in over an hour later. The woman from next door was laughing at me cos every time I managed to get in the kitchen another customer came so I had to go back out to the shop. What fun.

My throat was really sore today and my head hurt and I just wanted to go home but couldnt cos there was no one to close the shop either if I went.

New woman came in and I have to say there's a major clash of personalities going on. Mrs stickinsect doesn't like her, she doesn't like me so it seems, and things have been a bit tense. customers dont seem to like the look of her there either. One of the things people say they like about us is that we're always friendly and they can have a laugh or a gossip when they come in, but they think she's not the type they can have a bit of a laugh with. She's a nice lass I'm sure, no one seems to like change but maybe the personality clash is just too much. I get the impression she thinks I'm a spoilt brat cos it's my mams shop so I'm only there because of that and I must think i own the place blah blah blah. Well, no i dont think I own the place but i do know that if there's any bother I have to sort it out, I have to make sure everything is done properly etc, all the food ordered and everything so if it's between the 2 of us then yes i am in charge. And yes maybe i do just have the job because it's my mams shop but she can't go in there on the 2nd day and act like she knows everything cos she doesn't. She seems to have a problem with me getting her to do things (the right way) and apparently tried slagging me off to mrs stickinsect who wasn't impressed at all purely because I got her to do one thing then said next time do something slightly different with it. we'll see how long it lasts anyway but I cant be doing with that kind of tension in such a small shop when there's only the 3 of us there.

well she finally went and me and mrs SI got back to normal (apart from feeling ill) then just as we decided to get started on cleaning up for the day the environmental health inspector came to inspect our shop. AAAARGH!!! so we couldn't really do any of the cleaning up with him there. He didnt leave till after the time when I would normally be leaving and I still had all the rest of the cleaning to do after that (mrs SI goes home at 3) so I never got home till after 6. I was sooo tired and fed up. Oh btw he said our shop was nice and clean just needs the cupboard doors painted or something.

I got home and thought I better take the dog for a walk straight away. I saw letters on the floor and couldnt be bothered so left them there. Then when I came back I looked at them again and thought whats that? It looked like a card but my birthday was a month ago and the kids weren't till september. Hmm it was my nephews birthday yesterday maybe someone sent it to the wrong house? So I picked it up and saw it had my name on. I was very confused! so I opened it and it was a valentines card from new bloke how sweet was that??? I certainly wasnt expecting it. I wasnt even sure if he still liked me after our date on saturday but maybe tis means he does eh? lol. Didnt post about the date just incase he didnt want to know after it lol.

Anyway that put the smile back on my face thats the first ever valentines card I've got that i wasn't expecting at all. But because i wasnt expecting anything I never got him anything. Wouldnt know where to send it anyway other than where he works, and I wouldnt embarrass myself (never mind him lol) by taking it to his work. anyway, Id have to take the kids with me cos they're home till sunday now.
