Are you sick of it yet?

The bed got made by me with some help from ET. Wow it is high I almost need a ladder to get onto it. The matress is about 3 times deeper than the old one. It is really comfortable and not a spring to be felt. My old matress had got to the stage where I could shove my foot inside the springs. I have taken pictures of the work in progress but as yet not uploaded them as I can't find the cable to connect my phone to the computer.



To my dismay I woke up this morning with a headache but not only that but backache too. This concerned me as the idea of getting this new bed was to wake up without backache. I bought an orthopaedic matress for heavens sake. But then it occurred to me that it wasn't sleeping in the bed that gave me backache. It was the hard work smashing up the old bed then building the new one that had caused the muscles to seize up giving me backache.



Today I took the computer that won't recognise the wireless adapter into our local computer repair shop. He tested the USB ports as we were not sure if that was the problem as it didn't recognise the adapter no matter which USB port we used. They work well, he tested the adapter that is fine he says the problem is that we have a virus in the computer. There is an error message because a file is missing, I had been ignoring it ....silly me!!. So he is going to clean up the computer on all profiles. How embarrasing will it be if it turns out it was me who got the virus. Anyway when we get it back the boys will have that computer in their room ao there will be no reason for them to go into my room unless it is to talk to me.



Whilst I was at the repair shop my mum rang me, I told her that I would ring her back. But as I was going to go to Asda which means going past the end of her road I called in to see her instead. It turns out that she was only going to tell me that she was going to watch the FA Cup after all. So I ended up staying and watching the match with her. while we were watching it I got a text from Posh bird saying....



your flag is inside out



strange text to get so I rang her back, it seems that JA had hung the flag his dad gave him yesterday from his bedroom window only it was back to front. Posh Bird must have seen it from her kitchen when she was topping up her wine glass.



I am not at home lol



LiR you should be here drinking wine with us lol



lol instead I'm at my mum's drinking tea



lol oh LiR I know what you are like with wine



I rang home and spoke to JA then I got another text from Posh Bird



thats better :-)



Its funny how some people change according to who they work with. Posh Bird has become a follower of fashion in that she is now a fan of the local team. Now I know from when I used to take her son with me that Posh Bird never had any interest in football (she hated it). Some people think Posh Bird and my boss are joined at the hip as they have become firm friends. My boss is a very keen supporter of the local team and our MD is a season ticket holder and managed to get 8 yes 8 tickets for the FA Cup final. I didn't see him in the crowd though.



I sent a text to Aunty telling her the latest development in the Romeo saga, I wasn't expecting a reply for hours as I knew she was working. But I got a reply within half an hour.



Go for it! X



if you want to know what has happened I posted it last night on Battle

NEWS FLASH

It has arrived!!!

my lovely new bed was delivered at 9.30 am

Just prior to that there was a knock on the door .......delivery from Parelforce......not sure without checking back whether I told you I had won another ebay auction this time not just one laptop but two!!! they are old ones but they will do for the boys to play their games on and chat to their mates on msn and myspace. I have not tried either of them out yet but they are both Hewlet Packards former company laptops that have been refurbished but how could I not go for it when I won both of them for just £74 and it means they don't need to use my laptop. They will have two desk top and two laptops between three of them. DC has his own laptop that he got from ebay last year.

On another note, I wonder what Romeo thought when he turned his phone on and found he had a missed call from me in the middle of the night. (I have never phoned him before) I woke up around 4am ......4am ffs to use bathroom. when i got back into bed I found my mobile open under my duvet. As I was closing it I noticed that I was connected to Romeo, I must have called his phone by accident........oh shit does that mean I was calling eastern europe for 4hrs?......phew I checked it was 4.08am for 4 seconds.

So obviously I must have fallen asleep whilst re reading the text he sent me yesterday. Then when I picked it up must have pressed call.

My poor Romeo has been ill for weeks he is feeling depressed, this illness has really knocked him for six.

Its all about who you know

As the saying goes it isn't what you know it's who you know. During the week I was thinking about my nice new bed arriving tomorrow. I shall have to clear my bedroom out ready for the arrival of my bed (between 8am and 1pm tomorrow). Yeah yeah I know you all know I have my new bed coming I have mentioned it enough times in the last 2 weeks. But it got me thinking about my room. When SF moved out the first thing I did after I took down the curtains and nets to be washed, the stink of tobacco was horrendous, was to pull up the manky old carpet. When I say old I mean old, the rubber backing had turned to orange dust!! But under the dust was a lot of orange stained newspaper. Yes I know it was the rubber that had stained it but that isn't what makes me think it was old. The papers were dated 1974!!! As couldn't and still can't afford a new carpet I have been living with bare floor boards in my room, which hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be.

The first time I brought N back to the house to meet the boys (we had been seeing each other for 4 months by then) just after SF finally moved out of the house. I got him to help me strip the wall paper in my room. It only took us an hour. I wanted this room to be different now that it was mine after 7 months of SF living in there. N promised me that he would help me to do all the jobs that needed to be done around the house. In all the times he stayed here usually 3 or 4 days at a time, he never did anything else apart from the washing up now and again. He promised he would help with the garden, But even though I asked him to cut the grass he didn't all he cared about was being on my computer looking at ebay or chatting up women (on my computer!!).

Anyway I am getting side tracked here so back to the original thread. My walls have been bare for 2 years. I have finally decided that it is time to do something about it. While my bedroom has been cleared out and before I set up my new bed I am going to paint the walls. After all I sell decorating equipment I should get a feel for the products I sell and use it myself.
A few days ago I was speaking to one of the regular customers at work . (His company is one of the main paint suppliers) I was cheeky enough to ask if they sell directly to the public and if so do they sell small quanties, the answer to both was yes. This company has outlets across the country but this one is in my town right next door to the indoor soccer venue that I visited last night (which reminds me ......not all sweaty male bodies are even pleasant to be near let alone get close and personal with ;-) ). Today I have done a deal with this customer so I guess technically that now makes me his customer. tomorrow whilst I am home waiting for my NEW BED I will get another delivery (2.5l Diamond Matt paint in Vanilla Cream). I was prepared to collect but they are happy to deliver.

I told my boss that I intend to paint my room, next thing I know she is on the phone to the warehouse manager with instructions to send up a roller tray, roller cage, rad frame and power stripe sleeve and a variety of brushes. I told her where I was getting the paint from, she was impressed that I hadn't gone the route most people do of asking her to order it from her pet supplier down the road. she asked what paint I was getting and what price...'good deal' she assures me. I have just checked it out on the net.......I am paying 50% of retail price.


so as I was saying it isn't so much what you know as who you know..............
now I just need to find a gardener, a man with a van, a fence maker, window repairer ..oh yeah I had one of those...the last time I saw JJ was when he came round to measure my window......I'm guessing his girlfriend found out.

By the way did I mention .................I'm getting my new bed tomorrow
