  • Cheats Dinner

    After wallowing in misery in bed this morning, listening to mums excitement over the phone because she has finally spent some money on herself and bought a computer, I finally dragged myself out of bed, kicked out Nigel and went food shopping.

    We had nothing in the house.

    Asda was packed as usual, and I just knew that I would not feel like cooking a dinner when I got home, so we opted for some roasted Chicken from the Rotisserie, a couple of packes of mashed potato to heat up in the microwave which we had with some tin spaghetti.

    it was delicious and made a huge change. :)

  • Sunday Evening

    Full of mixed emotion and don't really know why, which is why things round here have been a bit quiet of late.

    Personally I am blaming the change in the weather, the fact that I get up in the morning while it is still dark and come home from work at dusk.

    Work has been hectic, seem to chase my tail and not get anywhere fast. Then there is the worry about spending money on presents while trying to pay the bills.

    One bright spot in all this is I finally managed to get Nig to phone the building society where we have our mortgage and get it transferred to fixed rate. It will cost us £249 to do but at least for the next 5 years I will not have to worry about the payments going up for now:)

    Went shopping with mum on Friday. She was just so relieved to get out of the house. We walked the length and breadth of Watford town centre several times, till we could do it no more. She now has most of the items she wanted and treated me to a skirt for the works 'do' on 1st Dec. Now all I need to find is a top to go with it and I am sorted.

    I overspent. I have most of the kids pressies, still have to get Nigs, but I know roughly what he wants. I have bought him a Tenacious D album and have decided to get the new one they have released as well (note this has nothing to do with the fact I really wanted it!)! WE both want to see the Tenacious D film - Nigel is a Jack Black fan so might treat him to a night out at the cinema to see it.

    So I am nearly sorted for Christmas. work is still work, one application form is in and I am waiting to hear, though having 2nd thoughts about whether I want the job or not now.

    Still don't feel great though, feeling fed up with everything. I have done nothing at home, ironing is piling up and there is the small problem of completing this dragon in time for Christmas as well! AAARRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!

  • Idiots of 2006

    Can you believe these?

    I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at the
    poison control center. Today, this woman called in very upset because
    she caught her little daughter eating ants. I quickly reassured her
    that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her
    daughter into the hospital. She calmed down and at the end of the
    conversation happened to mention that she gave her daughter some ant
    poison to eat in order to kill the ants. I told her that she better
    bring her daughter into the emergency room right away.

    Here's your sign, lady. Wear it with pride.

    Number Two Idiot of 2006

    Early this year, some Boeing employees on the airfield decided to
    steal a life raft from one of the 747s. They were successful in
    getting it out of the pl ane and home. Shortly after they took it for
    a float on the river, they noticed a Coast Guard helicopter coming
    towards them. It turned out that the chopper was homing in on the
    emergency locator beacon that activated when the raft was inflated.
    They are no longer employed at Boeing.

    Here's your sign, guys. Don't get it wet; the paint might run.

    Number Three Idiot of 2006

    A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into the
    branch and wrote, "this iz a stikkup. Put all your muny in this bag."
    While standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller, he
    began to worry that someone had seen him write the note and might call
    the police before he reached the teller's window. So he left the Bank
    of America and crossed the street to the Wells Fargo Bank. After
    waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note to the Wells Fargo
    teller. She read it and, surmising from his spelling errors that he
    wasn't the brightest light in the harbor, told him that she could not
    accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of America
    deposit slip and that he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargo
    deposit slip or go back to Bank of America. Looking somewhat defeated,
    the man said, "OK" and left. He was arrested a few minutes later, as
    he was waiting in line back at Bank of America.

    Don't bother with this guy's sign. He probably couldn't read it anyway.

    Number Four Idiot of 2006

    A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that
    measured his speed using radar and photographed his car. He later
    received in the mail a ticket for $40 and a photo of his car. Instead
    of payment, he sent the police department a photo graph of $ 40.
    Several days later, he received a letter from the police that
    contained another picture, this time of handcuffs. He immediately
    mailed in his $40.

    Smartass. But you still get a sign

    Number Five Idiot of 2006

    A guy walked into a little corner store with a shotgun and demanded
    all of the cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put the cash
    in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of Scotch that he wanted behind the
    counter on the shelf. He told the cashier to put it in the bag as
    well, but the cashier refused and said, "Because I don't believe you
    are over 21." The robber said he was, but the clerk still refused to
    give it to him because she didn't believe him. At this point, the
    robber took his driver's license out of his wallet and gave it to the
    clerk. The clerk looked it over and agreed that the man was in fact
    over 21 and she put the Scotch in the bag. The robber then ran from
    the store with his loot. The cashier promptly called the police and
    gave the name and address of the robber that he got off the license.
    They arrested the robber two hours later.

    This guy definitely needs a sign.

    Idiot Number Six of 2006

    A pair of Michigan robbers entered a record shop nervously waving
    revolvers. The first one shouted, "Nobody move!" When his partner
    moved, the startled first bandit shot him.

    This guy doesn't even deserve a sign.

    Idiot Number Seven of 2006

    Arkansas: Seems this guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided
    that he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window,
    grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it
    over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back knocking
    him unconscious. It seems the liquor store window was made of
    plexi-glass. The whole event was caught on videotape. Yep, here's your
    sign.
