Ahhhhhhhhh

This tonsilitis will not shift. Think I am going to have to go back to the doctors. 😦

 

The guinea pig will not stop scratting and making himself sore, and I have a husband stuck at home… bored.

 

What am I to do?

 

Oh well, been re-writing my short film script. ‘The Hurt Inside’ I have an intended target for it so I really want to add some depth to it. Got a review on it today actually from Talentville I will put that to good use and hopefully make things much better.  🙂

 

I plan on doing nothing over this weekend, my dad wants us to go up to his and go out for dinner but with Paul on the sick and just getting stuff together from Xmas I can’t say ‘yes’ would be wrong just at present. We have to tighten out belts for a wee while. We’ll manage, I always have spare cash, I just don’t like spending it all.

 

Really quiet in work, I guess for the same reasons, if I am skint after Xmas then sure as heck most other people are. A lot of the other rounds are struggling as well, it isn’t just mine.

Just hope it will get better soon, it is quite heartbreaking sitting waiting for customers to come out and they don’t. Even more heartbreaking is the fact we throw away so much food it is unreal. I  do hate that. Especially when loads of people are so skint, food is precious we shouldn’t waste it. 😦

 

Hope everyone else is okay, thinking of you all.

Quick update.

 

Great having Paul off work, no money but at least I have a nice warm house to come home too. 🙂 Trying to get some serious writing done, so yesterday I managed 800 words. Hope to do more today.

 

Freezing cold weather, wish I could stay at home for a few weeks.

 

Quick, but hope you are all well, speak soon.

Busy,  busy, busy.

 

So Sat was so busy, didn’t sleep so well got up early because Paul went off to work. Was freezing so stayed in bed while the heating got warm. It was still cold. I heard the guinea pig screaming so got up to face a blood bath. Had to go out and get him some more pain meds, that set me back half an hour. I needed to leave the house by 9:40 at the latest it was 9:20 when I got home to help him out.

 

Poor thing, he didn’t like me putting anything on him. I don’t blame him at all, it must hurt.

 

Then I went off to finish my theory lessons with Southport BSAC. This was a very interesting day. I am still  not 100% better and I was cold all day no matter how much coffee I drank or the food I ate. The lessons were good. We learned all about planning dives and what happened when things go wrong. It was really good to learn all these things and see how and what to do.

 

However I had a terrible headache by the time I left. I needed to get home, I was freezing, I haven’t done much house work all week because I’ve been un-well and I hate a untidy house. It is awful… Mum had lit the fire for me but I needed the heating on for a while before I warmed up.

 

Paul was involved in an accident at work. I get a text message about it and I hate that. A woman indicated to pull over at Wymott Prison, lost. Paul decided to go around her, when he was half way past her she indicates and turned right in-front of him.  Made a right mess of his bus and her 4×4.  He has a sore shoulder and ribs from the shock. Bus drivers don’t wear seatbelts, and I have no idea why.  Just awkward for him and everything else which is going on. I know this isn’t going to end well.

 

The woman tried to blame him, because he was on the other side of the road overtaking. Luckily Paul has a witness who saw it all. Madness… I hate accidents and the stress it causes.

 

Anyway, still had a headache, so I got home after 4pm and I took some tablets along with my antibiotics and then hit the pillows for an hour, I was due to go out to a Charity Ladies night, to help raise funds for Southport life boat services. I must admit I wasn’t looking forward to it, but after a sleep and a shower I was quite refreshed and we left the house before 7pm.

 

It was a good night, what more can I say, ladies, booze, naked men. All in all just loads of fun, and the food was fab too. 🙂

 

Today all we’ve done is dismantle the ladies pond whose fish we rescued the other night. It was cold, I am tired and I am still sick I need rest.

 

Will speak soon…. 🙂

FRIDAY the 13th….

 

Always a bummer! always something goes wrong. Came home from a sort of good day at work to find the baby pond temp had dropped 10 degrees, heater had blown.

Pulled the polly tunnel off fixed it, but it kept tripping out. Awful, awful awful day. Couldn’t get it right. In the end it seemed that it was the mains plug it was fixed into was the problem. So we sorted it out.

 

Couldn’t bump the heat back up though not to 18 degrees so had to settle for 12, that would be okay for them gradually over the next couple of days, 😦 nightmare.

 

If it isn’t the guinea pig, it is the fish…. or I am not well…. yeah still not 100% but a little better.

 

I am getting drunk tonight and going to eat a lovely manchester tart from work 🙂

 

Enjoy your evening all, will update you better tomorrow.
