Mood: Annoyed

I have had such a busy day but I thought I should tell you

Although I told Hubby I could not care less it bothers me cause it makes me look like a bad mouthed lady which I am not!!
So here it comes:
The other week, I met someone called Amanda who is Karen's sister best friend.  Me and Amanda have always been talking nicely.  We rarely see each other so no time to argue LOL
Anyway she asked if I had seen Karen and I sort of said to her 'Well, don't you know??!!'  Which actually should have surprised me cause these two (Amanda and Karen's sister) are the biggest gossips on earth.
But anyway I told her briefly what had happened and said (and that was planned to make me look good !!) 'It is a shame cause she was a great friend and I do miss her... I am very sad but I have to move on now' and for her to reply 'Yeah I understand, you don't need people like this in your life' ... and when she said 'people like this' she meant people who were jealous and making your life hell.

Now today, Hubby went to pick up Jack from school and he said he bumped into Karen on the way there and she told him that I had said to that Amanda girl that I said 'I don't need people like this in my life'

Can you believe it!!!!!!!

At the end of the day, I am actually not surprised cause these people are always, always, ALWAYS twisting whatever is said.  They are a bunch of TWISTERS!!!!!<<< and I dont mean hurricane!!!

So I said I am not bothered and I can't care less about it cause it is true.  But I am pissed off cause once again I am to look like the bad guy....  However.... if I had to talk to Karen and put her straight, I would be less than nice telling her to keep away from my Hubby and to concentrate on getting a bit less pathetic...

THERE.... I said it....

but I won't say it to her.  She only deserves my silence.  I would not waste another breath on that... stupid COW!

Apart from that... I had a good day!!

Better start dinner.  Have a lovely day everyone!

Goooooood Morning blogers!!!
I have had such a rough week-end.  My own fault I know. 
My friends Sam and Si have just moved into their new house  just down the road from me.  It's much bigger and so much nicer than their tiny flat they had.
So on Saturday night we celebrated with them and of course.... I over done it with the white wine!!
So much so that Hubby was kinda mad at me in the morning and he said I was like a teenage girl.... meaning I was talking crap and dancing all over the place....  Aaaaaannnnd!  Wassrong with that!!!!
So I told him to get a life... put him back in his place and now he is ok with me!

Now listen to this.  On Thursday me and Hubby are flying  to Spain for a long week-end.  Leaving the kids with mother in Law.  We're going to my Mother in law's villa on the Costa del Sol.  I can't wait.   so look forward to having a laying in the morning and to read my book without worrying about time and getting some last sun ray before the long winter!!!
And the best of it is that because it is just me and Hubby, there will be NO cooking... Restaurants in Spain are so cheap and nice we'll be having dinner out every night!!!

Today I am not at work cause Tom is a bit poorly (just a cough).  Well to be honest with you it's kinda an escuse for me to have another day off!!  Don't get me wrong.  I love my job and the people I work with are lovely.  But I am just tired at the minute.  I think it's probably because of the weather.  Not hot, not cold, not sunny, not rainy... dark early at night... you know... the transition between summer and winter time.  That gets me tired.
I can't wait for the cold to arrive though cause I bought myself a few nice jumpers and I really wanna wear them!!!

Oh by the way... I dont think I have told you.  Me and Mum are going to build a website!!  It will be about our creations on Paint Shop Pro.  I shall let you know when it's all done.  For the moment we have done nothing but research.  It'll be a French speaking site cause Mum can't speak English well.  Her English is like: 'Canaye ave eu cop o cofee pleese'  So she would not be able to have an English website....

Right.  I actually do need a cop o cofeee so I shall re-read my entry and make myself a nice Latte.
Have a wonderful day people who read this today!!

Mood: Quizzy

I did this quizz..... I like sleeping on my stomach
and this is what this says about me!!
Thanks Shell for finding the quizz!!

You have a passion for everything - including sleeping . Outgoing and brash, you tend to still shock those who know you well. You tend to be selfish. You are the most likely type to hog the covers. You gravitate toward comfort and don't like extreme situations.

Now I also did this quizz which I thought would be funny
Cause I am French and my name is not Aurelie Colin
LOL Aurélie Colin

What's Your French Name?

Mood: Happy Tired and busy!
Listening to: Radio 1

I thought I needed to tell you I saw Karen yesterday.  I was coming back from picking up Tom from Nursery and I was parcking my car.  There was quite a queue of cars stopped at the traffic light  up the road from where I was, I when I got out of the car, I saw Karen there...in her little Fiat Punto  (diearhea colour) with her stupid boyfriend and the kids at the back... I had my shades on so my eyes were hidden.... Anyway, she looked at me, I looked at her and I faintly smiled and did a quick swift wave with my hand.... << that's smilie is well over the top!!

I felt good cause I thought... I AM A BIGGER PERSON THAT YOU!!!!!!

Anyway, that's all I wanted to say.

I am off to work and I have lost to do, then pick up Jack from school, go to the library, pick up Tom, dinner, bath, bed and I probably go to bed early as well cause I am still very tired....but in a good way... I mean I am not feeling wick, I just want to sleep and I love my bed!!!

Have a wonderful day everyone!!

You're an approachable blogger who tends to have many online friends. People new to your blogging circle know they can count on you for support. You tend to mediate fighting and drama. You set a cooperative tone. You have a great eye for design - and your blog tends to be the best looking on the block!

OK... This is my Autumn Theme.

I used a Fairy from artist Caron Vinson who does the most amazing Fairies Prints.

The fairy I used is the Autumn Fairy.... yeah that's it... she is my Autumn theme.  I could have used a tree with falling leaves, but I am mad about fairies so there you go...

Hope you will like it...!!!
I am off now.... see ya

Well... it looks like it's gonna be an Autumn Theme  in here very soon!  Thank you all for your votes.  I will work on the new look very soon....
I actually look forward to Christmas  so I can have a very wintery Theme.

Did I tell you that I am a winter girl.  I just love winter.  I love the snow  and it is a shame we don't get enough around here.  I snowed this year in February for a good 4 days and although the snow never stuck to the ground properly, I was estatic watching it fall from my window....  And of course there is Christmas.  I just love Christmas and all the anticipation of it.
Today I looked on the internet for Charity Christmas Cards and I have chosen 4 Charities I want to help:
Multiple Sclerosis, Cancer Research UK, Huntington Disease Association and NSPCC (Charity protecting abused children).

I love sending cards and I usually send around 70+.  If you are lucky... and are very nice to me I may just send you one LOL!!

Right.  I better go cause my Soap  has just started and I haven't had my dinner yet... I am having two yogurts..LOL... can't be arsed to cook cause Hubby is still out working.

Have a lovey day everyone!

Hello Blogigoers...  I feel better today.

I didn't go to work again cause I thought I deserved another day off.  It's raining today but it doesn't seem to matter too much for me.  I am making a nice tomatoe and blue cheese soup  for Hubby's Nan and Grandad and we're all going to their house tonight to eat it together.  That should be a nice family gathering!

So this afternoon... what have I got planned....letmesee!

I am gonna have a little nap  soon cause I am still feeling tired...tired but happy!!  Then I will go and pick up my son Jack  from school and I need to go to the Library to bring back the DVD we borrowed last week and Jack hasn't yet gone to the library.  Then in the evening it's dinner at Nan and Grandad's!

Tomorrow, I am taking Jack to school and Tom and I have got a full day.
I am meeting my friend Sam at 9.15 at the cafe up the road for a good Latte  and a chat . I haven't see her for a week and I miss her!!.  Then I have to go to Sarah's house to feed Charley... the cat  cause Sarah has gone camping...poor Sarah... it's raining !!!
Tom loves cats  so we will spend a little time with Charley and let him out in a garden for a little hour.
Then we'll go home for a bite to eat and I will take him to the library for him to choose a book  for the week.
Then we'll pick up Jack from school and I gotta go home cause I wanna make Thai Fish cakes .  I have never made them before and I bought all the ingredients this morning so I shall try and see if I dont poison anyone!!!  If I don't..then I'll make them again!!
Friday night will be a quiet one for me.  Watch crap tele  and go to bed early.
And Saturday will be the same... Evening at home, watching the X factor with Simon Cowell and then vegetate in front of tele  and go to bed at a reasonable hour...
NOT like last saturday night when I forgot to sleep all together !!!!!

Anyway... I hope you're all ok... this is the quote of the day!!

Would those of you in the cheaper seats clap your hand!  And the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry!

Have a nice day

Mood: crap... crap... crap... crap... crap...

Not feeling on top of the world today ...and this is since Sunday.

I put it down to the fact that I have not had a good night sleep for ages.  I am really tired all the time.  I didn't go to work yesterday and slept all day on the sofa.  Today I went to work but I am back at home now... I left 3 hours early.

I dont have much to say cause you know what it's like... when your head is not right, whatever comes out of your mouth is naff... so I better say nothing.

Have a good week everyone

Mood: Very Happy... and half blond!!!!

Aaaaahhhh At last it's Friday and I am not working !  I missed writting on here.  My week at work has nothing special to talk about.  I have been so busy I hardly had the time to pee.... eerr.. but dont worry... I never peeed my pants though!!!

Today was nice.  We woke up me and my sons and we got ready nicely.  Hubby had already gone to a check a job so it was peaceful in the house!
Then we walked out the door to walk  down to school.  I turned around quickly and saw that Karen and her sister were following me.... well not following me but they were going to school too and they were behind me... a good 50 yeards though!  Anyway.  Me and Tom dropped Jack to school and we went back home to do a few things... put the bins outside, call my bank to activate my new Visa card, check some bills and was surprised they were so cheap (It's nice when that happens!).  Then we set off for the Brand New Big Library !!  I promised Tom we would take the bus there (save my petrol!!) so it was like a little adventure for him!
We arrived at the library a little too early.  It was closed and we had to wait 10 minutes.  But we sat down, in the sun and watch the builders  working on new buildings near by and Tom loved watching the big trucks and diggers... I wasn't impressed but pretended I was to make him happy.  Then the Library opened so we went in....aaahhh...air conditioning... and we set out to the Children's corner.  I had to register cause we weren't members.  That took just about 5 minutes.  Then I read a few books to Tom and we checked out the DVDs.... he wanted to borrow one so we did.  Then he wanted to have a go at the computer.  SO we spent about an hour on the internet .  He played on the Nick Jr. site.  We played Dora the Explorer, Bob the builder and so on...  After that I said...right... let's get some lunch.
So we walked to MacDonalds.  I am pleased to say that I had a Deli Chicken Sandwich with Brown Bread, only 3.5% fat and a bottle of water while Tom had chicken strips with chips... and I didn't even eat all his chips... I only had a couple... and they were small!!!!
After that, I went to a shop to get all I needed to colour my hair and hide those horrid grey hair popping everywhere on my head! 
We got home and Tom watched his DVD while I did my hair.
It took me ages cause I had to make the highlights in my hair and everything.  So I spend a good hour and a half trying to make me look younger.  When I finished I was horrified  to see that I had put too much highlighter on a stick on hair by my right ear....  I can hide it with other hair though... but next time I'll have it done by professionals.  It's not the first time I done it... but i may well be the last!!!!
So anyway... my hair is nice and ginger with a large stick on blond on the right side... of well... that'll go away!!  eventually!!

Now I am home watching Extreme Make-Over Home Edition...Gosh I love that programme!!! and in about one hour, I am off to the pub with Sarah, Sam, Si, Hubby (of course), Faith and all the kids for an early dinner and a few drinks ... that should be fun.

Tomorrow, BIG NIGHT OUT for me, Sarah and Donna... well not really a night out but a night in at Donna's with good white wine and ... KARAOKE!!!  That should be a lot of fun... you will know all about it!!!

Wishing everyone a good week-end... see you soon!!!!

Karen called me on my mobile this afternoon.....

I haven't got much time to go into details but this is how it went.
School started on Tuesday so obviously I saw her there, but I had my sunglasses on so I could scan the playground without being spotted (it is fairly small anyway) and I saw her...looking shipish (sp?) and she looked at me a few times... but I never smiled or waved at her.  As far as I am concerned... I do not know her.

Today, I met Sarah in a school car park and she looked annoyed .  She told me that she saw Karen and wanted to tell her a few things like 'Why hate me and talk about me when you dont even know me!!' but Karen managed to wriggle her way with another mum and Sarah couldn't butt in and have her say... but Sarah really wanted to talk to her cause she feels she has been treated very unfairly.  So Sarah was not happy cause she didn't manage to give her a peace of her mind...
Anyway... I saw Karen after that... just saw her... didn't talk or made eye contact.  She was with her sister and I could see her sister looking at me badly... I wouldn't care if the girl wasn't huge and could flatten me by just sitting on me.... That sort of told me that Karen must have 'blahbed' about me!!  And then after school I took Jack to the park cause the weather is so hot I planned to let him play while I am reading my book.... I had planned a good hour of not being distrubed!  Then I got a text from Karen saying she wanted to talk to me in person... Shock Horror... she never done that before.  So I replied to say that whatever she needed to say surely she could text or email cause she was good at it!
Then what do you know... I got a phone call on my mobile and the number displayed said 'Witheld'.  It could have been Hubby cause sometimes his phone turns weird and his number is witheld.  So I replied.... but it was Karen.

I stayed really calm and wanted her to know that she could not hurt me anymore.
She started talking to me to say she needed to tell how uncomfortable she felt at school.  She said she felt uneasy seeing me at school... and I was like... 'eerrr... what's it got to do with me!!??' so I told her that whatever the problem was, she needed to sort it out herself cause I was in no way responsible.
I managed to tell her that when she said those things to Hubby, it really had affected me in a way she could never imagined.  And I managed to say that she never once asked how I felt about it... it was all about her and how bad she was feeling for betraying me 'not on purpose' apparently but I said whether it is on purpose on not, the thing was done and it was bad and I could not forgive her for it.
Then I said I tried and tried to include her with my friend Sarah and Sam but she never was interested.  Once again she said she was uncomfotable in meeting new people... and she repeated that escuse so many time during our 45 minutes conversation that in the end, I told her to chnage her escuse cause that one had run its course.
She asked me how things were going to change between us and I said that I didnt know if they were ever gonna be the same.  I said to her that at present I did not want her in my life for my own sanity...I had to tell her I was on happy pills partly because of her giving me so much stress in the last 7 months (she was surprised but I think felt like she was believing the fact I had been bad and not faking it...without her knowing...if you know what I mean)
I told her that time heal things and that maybe we might speak again.  But right now... I didn't want to be with her...

She cried a little and she asked me not to be so angry at her cause she was uncomfortable with the way things were and that she couldn't help it and I said I was never angry at her for lacking confidence but I was angry at her for almost breaking my marriage up.  I also said to her that despite her saying that she was never after Hubby, she gave me a lot of reasons to believe the opposite.

And thank God my phone battery ran out and I had to tell her I had to go....

So... I went to the park to read my book and ended up having a heated conversation with Karen.... So much for peace and quiet!!!

Hope you're all well...
Be back soon and thank you all for all your messages... you're all dear friends!!

Mood: Tired but happy
Listening to: watching Extreme House Makeover!

I am so tired... I think this entry will be nice and short!

I went to work really early this morning.  Cause I woke up at 7am and everybody was asleep.  By 7.45 I was ready to go.  So I left and arrived at work at 8am...usually I am there after 9am.
I was all by myself there for a good half hour which meant going through a few things in peace.

I had lunch with my colleague Theresa who is so nice and we are really good mates.  She's invited me for a barbecue  at her new house on 11th September which should be nice.  She is getting married  in April next year and it's all getting really exciting now!

Anyway... I have worked non stop for 6 hours today  ... well that's a lie.  I stopped for lunch, half hour and I stop to drink my coffee and I had three!  However, I have managed to get through lots of new referrals for our department and also entered a huge amount of contact data on the system.... a bit chunck of work has been done today and I feel happy.  I am now starting my week-end cause I never work on Fridays.

And since hubby is not working either and that Tom does not go at nursery and Jack is still not at school, we have ahead a nice week-end as a family.  Hopefully the weather will be gracious so we can go out and about....

I better go.... I have a few things to do before I go out to get some shopping.... I gotta feed the family....LOL

Have a lovely Day
