whilst in the pub at lunchtime having dinner and a nice coke - i remembered that i promised to cook a roast dinner for one of the lads - my only hope is that he doesnt remember it lol or the breakfast promise - oh dear drink is a demon

well it comes to something when your son rings you and asks if you have a hangover and then says you came home in a terrible state........ oh well i will remind him next time he comes home and throws himself on my bed and tells me how much he loves me lol

we went along to look at the canoeing - we will be joining the club - £30 for membership and £5 a session seems very reasonable. and next week i am dragging cg off to the gym to get her back in the swing of it. she will love it haha

as for the rest of life - a funny thing happened on facebook today which i will watch with interest - was the comment directed at me or not only time will tell lol

so last night found going for a quick drink with the IT boys before going round cgs. mmmmm well the quick one turned into 3 or so pints, a vodka and coke (even though i had asked for a coke) and 3 shots one of which was tequila and the other two had some weird name but involved red bull. needless to say i staggered home and then after spending a few minutes with my head down the toilet i passed out on my bed. i woke about 1ish, had cold beans and toast and a coffee and then went back to bed. i a feeling very shaky this morning and am contempleting the idea of spending the morning on the water.

i am meant to be going out with them again on wednesday - methinks that will involve just one glass of whatever and me drinking very slowly. i had forgotten how easy it is to get plastered when going out for a quickie after work. but they are a good laugh..........

so back to the water thing - me and cg are going to a come along and try session at fairlop at least we are meant to be - i see no sign of cg online as yet - do hope she hasnt overslept lol.

the rest of the weekend will be spent i think with me recovering my wits and trying to stop this shaking of my hands. i really must learn to drink in moderation lol

so how complicated can life get - how much fun is one person entitled to - is there a limit. i dont think there is. i wrote to the school on monday and spoke to the head on tuesday. he is willing to give the boy a reference but not let him back to the school. oh well the hunt for a new college place goes on.

this week has been a funny one on the whole - people who havent spoken to me for ages have been popping out of the woodwork and chatting like there had been no gap between now and the last conversation. it is all very strange.

then there are my new mates in work - the IT gang who are all very chatty now - again very funy - i have been sitting near them for over six months and now they start talking ot me like i am now an old mate.

i think that on the whole the world is a funny place - or perhaps its just me that is a strange person in a very normal world - who knows.

on off man is as always on and off - and who knows where that will go or if indeed it will go anywhere. oh well life is for living and adventures are always worth having !!!

i have now calmed down - went to the gym and took the errant child with me - apparently any year 11 child who turned up at the sports day and was meant to be going to year 12 has lost their place. who gave that school the right to be judge and jury without any evidence ............

and i found out that i can run at 12kph - will have to try faster speeds next week lol

i am so angry - my child had mucked up big time. he decided to go along and watch the planned muck up day this week and has now lost his place at sixth form - in addition he wont answer his phone to me or txts. he really is underestimating his mother big time......................

well after last nights escapades the IT guys spent the day winding me up about my new suitor. i pointed out to them i did not think it was very chivalrous of them to abandon me to him. they thought this was hysterical. got my own back though - they had a lovely touch feely workshop and when they returned all strung out coz they dont like all this sort of stuff i said i was going to suggest to their top boss that they all have a group hug every morning - they were not amused. although a couple of them caught on quick and took it onto doing exercise by their desks every morning as a group - i cant wait to see it .

i was agian at the gym at 6.30 - i think i have been bitten by the gym bug. ive decided its great

Well the assessment centre was as bad as predicted - dont get feedback for 4 weeks so i will have to wait to see whether i managed to convince them that i am any good

went for a drink after work last night and ended up with te IT guys who are desperate for me to be their line manager - i have tried to tell them it is highly unlikely on account of me not being an it professional but i will know whether i have got through to the next stage on tuesday. they then abandoned me to some drunk stranger who was convinced that he was coming home with me - i told him in no uncertain terms to go home to his wife and two kids. he then tried following me to the train station and i threatened him with the police and pushed him which resulted in him staggering into the road. i do hope he got home ok although i hope that i never see him again another example of a prize wanker lol

right so today - did the treadmill again but didnt up the speed no staggering today..... I am quite liking the gym and cant wait till tomorrow. Although i did face a challenge with the locker. all the lockers look the same and are locked using your membership card - however there are two key things to this - one you have to lock the locker and two you have to remember the number. I failed on both counts lol. so having spent 10 minutes trying to unlock the wrong locker and pestering the guy at reception i realised my locker was in fact the one next door and was unlocked............ will try better tomorrow.

then there was the conference which i was meant to be at all day but had to leave at lunch coz i had to write a paper for the management board next week. why do they bring forward meetings a week and a half and then expect you to deliver as if nothing had changed.

tomorrow is my assessment centre for a new job. i am sooo looking forward it ........ can think of nothing better than being interrogated for 5 hours so that i can be told whether i am a good manager or not............ i have an awful feeling the answer will be not a good manager.

a funny thing happened in work today - but unfortunately i am not at liberty to say what - i ca say that it involves winding up another member of staff and that seems to be working admirably lol

tomorrow is a leavign do and the wind up will continue there - so should be fun and it will be good to have a drink with the rest of the gang - thats if they all go and there is another one next week....

and now i am feeling a little tired so think i will go off to bed

i forgot to add that yesterday i went to the gym - first time in god knows how many years. well they did this health assessment - which was fine till they measured my height. now i am old but i didnt think i was old enough to have shrunk lol. i was shocked when the guy said to me i was only 5'9 and a half . what has happend to the other inch and a half. where has it gone. when did it go. i am distraught. if anyone finds it can they let me know......................

this mornign i was up at 6 and in the gym at 6.30 - i had no trouble with the bike and rowing machine unfortunately the treadmill was another story. i started slow and built up the speed but then made a grave error and tried to speed it up to 10 kph at which point there was a bit of staggering and arm waving and i only just managed to stay on the bloody thing. This has not enamoured me of the treadmill especially as i have been known to fall off them before - i will have to try again tomorrow and see if i can have a little more success - it cant be that difficult surely...........

right so a friend of mine asked whether i was going to do a bog update - i think he meant blog - but a bog update sounds so much more fun.

so my bog update - well i have been to the loo a few times today and in fact i did go to a meeting today in a very smelly office that had the most peculiar toilets. the doors of the toilets were sme bifold affair that you had to manipulate to get to close and then even more manipulation to open . Bloody difficult when you are in a rush lol and the other thing was they were red and blue - a very unusual colour scheme for a toilet. i can still smell the building it was disgusting. i cant believe there are still government offices like that

so we went to the wanstead music in the park and it was quite a good evening. although my wonderful mate thought she would set me up with someone she new - sadly this is not to be. she is quite upset - even more upset that i wouldnt even consider him for a one night stand lol. i had to explain to her several times that there were a number of reasons

1. i didnt think i would be able to carry on a conversation with him for more than about 10 minutes

2. he wasn't really my type in looks

3. he wasnt my type in build (i have always insisted on my men being over 6 foot but have now realised that height isnt everything - but conversation and laughter is)

4. he dotes on his young son and if i am perfectly honest i'm not sure that i want to go out with a man whose only topic of conversation appears to be his son.

so poor cg will have to continue her search for eligible bachelors for me lol. or then again perhaps not

so last night found myself in Sway - hey what a night!!! loads of really good 80s music interspersed with some 70s - i personally think my real peak was dont stop me now - lol but if those pics appear on facebook then i will personally have to murder the taker of said pics!!!! although if they are any good i might put them on here lol

a great girlies night out and one to be repeated me thinks. the running is not gonna happen seeing as it puts my back out each time - so will have to walk the 5K - oh well never mind

I have done the dreaded deed and joined the gym in an effort to sort my back out so that i can run - coz despite what i have always thought i quite enjoy running. and it goes nicely with the cycling and swimming - you never know i might even enter a mini triathlon pmsl.

this weekend is as always full with a meeting this morning and then off to see a mates kid play in a steel band this evening - the things i do for my adopted nieces and nephew lol. oh and i dont think i mentioned it before - i am going to be a great aunt again - my oldest niece is expecting a baby around christmas - so excited. more baby sitting - absolutely fantastic :)

the house now looks really nice and i am just waiting to sort out the final details before it goes on the market.

i have decided the instant messenger in work is a bad thing lol

well the house is decorated and clean and tidy - now just got to wait for the valuer tomorrow. whoopee.

can't believe that this time last week i was at glastonbury - it seems such a long time ago. can't wait for next year. in the meantime have a couple of holidays to arrange - have agreed to go to new york with the boy for a shopping trip in october half term. it will help to make up for the lack of holiday last year.

have got to get back to my running - the 5km is in two weeks and i need to be fit for that. tomorrow night should be down the rugby club for a soul evening - should be fun. then sunday i will have to tidy the garden and get that ready for the photos on wednesday. my life sounds so boring lol, but i spend most of it laughing so it can't be that bad.

have to finish my diploma over the next couple of weeks as i start my masters in october. thats of course if i am still employed then - thats the other thing i have to do on sunday - fill in application forms for my job and a couple of other jobs. oh well life can't all be parties..................

other equally good acts were lily allen, noah and the whale, emmy the great. i would also say that the atmosphere at glastonbury this year was just brilliant - really friendly and a real feel of pulling together. the toilets leave something to be deisired but with the discover of the she pee even that became less of an issue. we visited places we didnt go last year - the peacefields, the stone circle - met a lovely guy called tim there - and the dance tents.

next year though we are travelling lighter and not taking food - just a drop or two of alcohol. and of course there will be a couple of teenage boys in tow - but im sure we will cope and i suspect i will only see them when money is required. of course the extra two means that we will not be travelling in daisy and i will have to buy a car, which i was going to do anyway when i move.

had an interesting experience tonight - being followed by a bloke who wanted to ask me out and then started shaking like a leaf when i said he could have my number - i suspect i will not hear from him again.

having the house valued on saturday so have t finish all the decorating by then and someone coming to take the pics on wednesday so need to have a good clean and tidy. it is all becoming so real and although i will be happy to move out it will be a shame to leave my neighbours who have on the whole been lovely.

i am so happy with life at the moment - i am free to do what i want when i want to do it and get to spend time on my own in the peace and quiet of my house. life is sooo good - i have wonderful friends - male and female. talking of which why is it that some men just cant form a friendship after having been intimate - it is such a shame - i have made some really good friends with blokes i have dated and then there are others who just seem to be incapable of doing that except of course when they live in the hope that the woman will fall back into their arms. strange what love will do and sad really that soemtimes people just cant get over a relationship - my philosophy - enjoy the relationship and when it ends as a romantic endeavour be honest about why and then wherever possible stay friends..........................

so what can i say but what an awesome weekend. so much to see and do and so little time to see and do it.

who did i see well the list goes on and on but highlights would include the boss, tom jones, rolph harris, blur, white lies, the specials and madness. I didnt manage to get to see pendulum, calvin harris or the prodigy but hey you cant see everything.

Between us me and cg managed to lose van and house keys, one hat, a bracelet, sunglasses, and a number of other things. Fortunately we managed to get a spare van key to the site so that we could get home. although i did find out that i have two lots of car breakdown cover even though i dont have a car!!!

Overall it was absolutely brilliant the weather was great apart from a bit of rain on friday morning and yet again i have come back with a cracking tan. needless to say we are registered for next year. I also managed to replace a rather expensive ring that had been hand made for me and which some wanker decided to keep rather than return when he finished our relationship. So I now have a new ring which is rather lovely and compliments a beautiful necklace (quite by coincidence) that has been bought for me. well back to the real world...........
