Excuses Excuses!

There is only one reason to let your child out of the house during school holidays. And I'll tell you it's not so they can take a merry, screaming journey on the train with you into town. You can walk them round the yard in the dead of night on a leash like's good and proper but don't be letting them do their business on my yard.

Honestly though if I am on the train and some kid is running around like a nutter you know who I blame? The parents of course. If your child is a terror and can't be controlled don't release them on the general public! I'm actually all for children being allowed outside if they're well behaved... But they never are so a blanket ban is obvious.

It would be silly to ban children in town though. First of all there are many adults in town who on a regular basis act like children. There is however an alternative. There is a child free village in Scotland.

Perhaps I'll live there...

Wedding Dresses are Awesome!

So today I was meant to wear my wedding dress to work... but I didn't. Turns out I can't fit it any more.

I was meant to wear it for a radio competition that was celebrating brides and how they buy an awesome dress then only get to wear it once. What a mean (as not good) competition! I know there are plenty of other brides who've put on some happy fat since becoming married and thought
"That sounds awesome! I'll slip it on." and then went on to find they'd gained a bit more than thought.

To set the record straight I was close to, so close in fact I thought I could've got there if I'd had say a week more warning. But alas I didn't and so today, Brides Day, I am wearing my work uniform like the sad little shame I am.

But there are still people wearing their wedding dress with pride to day. I've seen one such person who had the pleasure of having only gotten married around three months ago.

Unfortunately it does happen though. You get married and you're happy so you gain weight. I think it's to prevent yourself from looking elsewhere which is why celebrities are always bed jumping. Apparently though according to my mother for women at least it's my(your) body preparing for babies. Well my body can piss off for a good 5 to 10 years thank you!

So it looks like I won't win the free trip to Hawaii but I'm still going to try and just send in a picture of me at home with the dress "on" and hope for the best. I leave you with a picture of what the dress does look like when on properly.

Quote Of The Week!

My quote of the week this week comes from me.

"I've stapled your pants to the ceiling, it's called modern art"

Yes that is actually how I feel about modern art and you know I'm right.

Now none of the following pictures actually have stapled pants but they could definitely be defined as art because you know anything can.



This one is just cause it's lol


I'm not too sure as to why I said the pants thing in the first place. But I do remember my husband's reaction:

"What's that from again?"
"Me. I just said it....."

Those "people"

Christa Miller As Ellie off Cougar town plays a very mean but lovable one of those people. She has found a way to balance her those "people" ways and therefore we can still be her friend. But everyone has one "friend" who is one of those "people". The kind of person who doesn't listen when you talk and tries to talk as much as they can about themselves. Whom you'll tell your best/worst secrets to and they will have forgotten everything by the next day. Those people are the thorn in my paw at the moment. I am unfortunate enough to be friends with two of them at the moment and it drives me mental. It is, though I must admit, rather funny because you see they are "friends" with each other. Neither of them remember anything the other says. They always forget when they're getting together. In a way it kind cancels each other out. But sometimes every now and again a tiny piece of information will slip through their me!me!me! filter and one will remember that they're meeting and consequently be stood up and then they'll have a battle of bullshit when they try to argue and get as much of the sound of their own voices into the "conversation".

So they are annoying to try and be friends with but very funny to turn against others of their kind. The only reason I'm still friends with these "people" is because they're secretly lovely, well sometimes...
