  • Happy Birthday to me!

    Happy Birthday to me...

    Happy Birthday to me!!

    I can't believe I'm 28 today!  I'm writing this before I go to bed (25th) as I know I'm gonna be a busy bee tomorrow; I have to get up extremely early as I need to put my bike into the garage to have it looked over to see if anything needs doing - I know that the chain needs tightening and I'm hoping that's all it needs doing because frankly, I am getting quite low on funds!

    Then I'll take myself off to the gym for a birthday workout - why am I doing it i hear you ask... well I didn't have time to go today and I'm starting to feel like a tellytubby again (my sisters' nickname for me when I start putting on weight!) and then I have to sign-on at the jobcentre later on and afterwards I'm meeting Ria in town - yippee.  I can't wait to see what she's bought me - I've tried finding out but she's not giving anything away!

    ....well, going back to last week all I did was paint and decorate the hallway (as promised) so I became high on the paint fumes - something which isn't as fun as it sounds.  All I know is that it dries my throat like you wouldn't believe but at least it's done now.  Other than that I really haven't done anything else, except for today - boy, was it a busy day or what?  I got rudely awoken this morning by numerous employment agencies saying they'd seen my cv online (I posted it over the weekend) and thought I might be interested in some jobs they have.  Unfortunately a few of the positions are in London - I mean I don't mind commuting for a few months but only if the money is good.  Then in the afternoon I popped into Maidstone and gave my CV into an employment agency so I'm waiting to hear from them.  I then came home to wash and scrub my motorbike as it was absolutely filthy, that took me a while to do and then I went for a little ride on it just to familiarise myself with it   And then in the evening I helped my sister, Sara bake cakes .... ok, so I helped eat the mixture and some of the warm cakies but what the heck - it is my birthday... hee hee.

    So that's about it really, not very exciting but my birthdays never seem to be.... long story, I'll tell you all about it one day.  But all I can say is that this year I intend to enjoy every moment of it coz I get to spend it with Ria....and my family of course!

  • How long???

    I can't believe it's been nearly three weeks since I last updated my blog - to be honest with you I can't even remember what I've been doing since then but I'm gonna have a go so bear with me folks...

    Well Ria came to stay at the beginning of the month for virtually a whole week - it was really nice.  As per usual I got through loads of money - I really have no idea where it keeps going!  I remember we went over to Tonbridge on the Tuesday and she met a couple of my ex-workmates for lunch, then Wednesday night we had a delicious meal at a pizza eatery and then went onto the local gay bar.  Friday afternoon we went to the cinema and watched Sweeney Todd, not a bad movie actually - somewhat gruesome though.  Then, unfortunately on Saturday morning Ria had to leave to go back to Portsmouth for work   That afternoon I met up with Cathy and Emma and had a farewell meal for Emma as she's going travelling with her other half for a year - mostly in Australia so I said I'd probably see her over there!  And then that evening Sara dragged me out to a 50th birthday party -i t was so darn exciting *yawn.*

    Sunday I managed to make an appearance at the gym and did a workout - yes a Sunday I know!  As we were having the central heating finally put in I decided that on Monday and Tuesday I would start decorating the hallway - something which has needed doing for so long.  But coz I had to go to the jobcentre as it was my sign-on day I had to cut it short and talking of the jobcentre they are such g**s coz they are reviewing my benefits as I didn't apply for a job back in November - yes, November!  Now the reason I didn't apply for the job as we all know was b'coz I didn't want one at that time but also it was permanent and even now I'm only looking for temporary work, however I have applied for a couple of permanent jobs lately.

    And then it was Tuesday evening and I made my way by car to Fareham, near Portsmouth as I was spending a few days with Ria so I finally arrived at her house after getting a little lost!  On the Wednesday we went out to a gay bar in Portsmouth and then onto a gay night at a club.  On the Thursday we spent the day at home where a nice man delivered a dozen red roses to Ria (from me of course) as it was Valentine's Day.  We went out that evening and had a delicious meal at Chiquitos (I'm so loving chicken fajitas at the moment) and then on Friday we did some shopping and boy, did we shop!  After that we went onto the cinema and watched National Treasure 2 - a little far-fetched but it was a good watch.

    Saturday I had to entertain myself for a few hours while Ria was at work so I took myself off to Portsmouth dockyard and saw the HMS' Victory and Warrior and the remains of the Mary Rose.  Yes, it was a bit of edumacation and even on a weekend but I was a brave little soldier walking around all on my lonesome and afterwards I even took myself to the cinema to watch Jumper - again it was far-fetched but it was an ok film.

    Sunday Ria was at work again and coz neither of us wanted me to go home I stayed at her house for a few hours and then picked her up from work and had a nice sunday roast and then all of a sudden Monday arrived and unfortunately it was time for me to come home   But it wasn't all bad - we actually have central heating now and my room is no longer an ice box!  So what do I have planned for the rest of the week?  Well, me thinks it's gonna be decorating and going to the gym at least a couple of times.  After that....who knows but I will tell you that it's my BIRTHDAY on Tuesday 26th and I will be turning 28 - I can't believe how time flies.  To be honest with you my body feels like it's 78 but my head still thinks I'm 18! 

    BBFN folks xx
