What a scorcher it was today!
And it is to last into next week "Yippie!"
I sat out  sunbathing all day and now i have red bits
I did put protection on mind,
I decided to paint my nails,i used to do this years ago when i was about 20 painting them 2 colours,now they do it at the nailbar for you if you want,bugger i could have patented that idea
Nail varnish and sunlight do not mix,it was quite a struggle to get it to go on smoothly,it was coming out all gloopy, must have been the heat,

Well with not a vibro in sight and we all ended up sitting outside as it was a nice night (till it got baltic)
There was food but as you know i am fussy
Not into olives or balls of fetta cheese in sunripe tomatoes,
Pate of some sort, and well something else that looked like puke,
It was all the best of stuff from M&S but i ended up with a chicken leg,slice of cold meat and a sausage roll
Ah mean she didn't even have tuna pasta,without sweetcorn of course!  (how classy am I )
I did not purchase anything,though truth be told the bags were a good price,
Actually thinking of having a party of my own soonish well maybe  but i know Natalie has pals who buy bags and she is the Emelda Markos of bags so we will see
The woman had about 5 sets of undies on show and you told her your bust size and she rummaged through her merchandise and produced one of the same that was out
I ended up in charge of the Chiminea
Never sorted one in my life but gave it a go and did no bad,
So now i have came home stinking like i have been at a bonfire,sober (putting that to right)
Got in at 11.30 and watched the end of some crappy movie  xx

Don't know what this big fellow is?
It started growing last year and i thought it was a weed and was going to pull it out,
Then i thought "No,i will leave it and see what happens"
I can see buds on it so it is some kind of flower,
Oh the suspense is killing me  Click pic to make big!  xx

Here is a couple of pics of the Peonys (think that is what they are) growing in my garden,

I like this one the bestSome daisy's

I slept all day yesterday and went to bed reasonably early,
So i am back to normal,well if you can call me normal

Went to lift money out the bank yesterday and discovered i have lost my Maestro card
I have looked everywhere,even in places you know for a fact it won't be,funny how you do that isn't it,
I will have to go in and inform them today,
Wonder if you can get money out without your card?
Well apart from donning a mask and carrying a sawn off shotgun that is

I have an underwear party to go to tonight,
No doubt i will be coming home knickerless,if you pardon the pun
Maybe my sister can loan me a few bob we will see  xx

It was another late night for me last nght,yeah i know i am my own worst enemy,
 My plan for today was to catch up on posts and then sleep on the couch till i get Jade from school,
But oh noooooooo things don't go as smothly as that for me,
Just as i was about to lie down my pal phoned me,
Her SIL is away on holiday and she has been keeping an eye on her house which is near me,
She has to go up to the womans house to take a meter reading and phone the lecky to switch suppliers,
"Can you just come up with me and make sure i have taken the reading properly"
"Fuck sake it is a meter reading it is not strands of DNA you are reading",this is what i wanted to scream
Cause i am tired and grumpy  and just want to crawl in a corner somwhere and sleep,
There is dense and there is dense swear my pal makes Kerry Katona look inteligent,
I love her to bits but i just can't be arsed today and now i have to go pick her up to,
That and she always smokes all my fags
Rant over  xx

Monday was bedlum too, Went food shopping with big sis at my local Asda after i picked Natalie up from work at 5.30pm, But my sis had brought her wee dog down with her so we had to leave her in my house, I was £72 she was £172 and she was only coming in for something for her dinner that night I had asked her to come in and help me with my shopping,

Natalie decided to take Jade,my neice and nephew to the pics later on that night to see "Coraline" Then as we had taken both cars to Asda we parted ways as i was going to get Mo some Halal chicken and she was going home, 10 mins later she phoned to say she had forgotten about the dog but would pick her up when she came down for the kids,

Gets home puts all the shopping away  and makes them all dinner and natalie said they would go to the 8pm film so it was a mad rush, Natalie asks me to run them to the train station and by this time it is quater to 8, Well there is always adverts so she said they would make it, She phoned as soon as i got in and said they had missed the train Mo was washing the dishes and i said "Suppose i will have to run them" I didn't even know how to get to this cinema as i don't as a rule drive right into the city center,it is all one way systems and i haven't a clue where i am going, Mo sort of explained but i thought "Fuck it i will go anyway" Natalie said to me when we where in the town "Mum are  you not proud of yourself you are driving in the town?" I was on a mission so i didn't notice, I go lost so stoppped and asked a taxi driver and it turned out i was quite near to the big cimema, Dropped them off and just kept heading staight down again till i recognised somewhere and could navagate from there,

Got back and after a while noticed it was getting dark so text natalie and told her i would just pick them back up again,think i went  a long way for a shortcut but managed to retrace the way i went, They all said it was quite a scary film(even Natalie) for a kids film and nattered all the way home about it, Dropped Natalie,Jade and my neice off at the house as she was staying the night,phoned my sis and said i would just drop my nephew and the dog off so  i took my nephew and the dog home, I got home a 11.30 and cracked a well deserved beer "Ahhhhh!"  xx

I went to bed at 3.30 am and Natalie woke me at 9.15 am to run her to work,
I lay down at 11am for a nap and my pal came to the door at 12 noon
I made a big pot of vegetable soup,
I picked natalie up at 2pm,

My sister phoned and said she was coming down to pick her daughter up who stayed the night before,
She had been at Yorkhill Childrens Hospital with my nephew (the one who fell off his bike) because he was still complaining about his right wrist,the one in the splint
He now has both arms in plaster
Turns out the hospital she had originally taken him to should have told her to bring him back  in 2 weeks which has just past
to re asses his wrist,
They first hospital had told her they could see something and thought it was a chipped bone but it was a skayfoid fracture and they should have double checked it,
The doctor at the Childrens Hospital said it was missmanagement????
In other words the other hospital had fucked up,
They also tut tutted the way they had put the other plaster on and cut a big bit away from his thumb so he is well happy now he can play his x-box
He goes back to school tomorrow and my sis said she will go in and speak to his school about how he will manage with 2 arms in plaster,

Anyway she said they were starving they hadn't had any lunch,
So when they came down they tucked into my soup and crusty bread and butter,
Well i had some to and so did Natalie and my pal,
So there was not a lot left but they all enjoyed it anyway,
There was enough for Mo to have for his dinner and Jade had some too,

Natalie asked if the boy she has started seeing could come for dinner tomorrow night, "Oooooo!"
Seems he is a bit fussy but she has settled on roast chicken,totties and gravy for them to eat so that will be ok,
She was laughing because he didn't know what a 'Pop tart' was and has never tasted Chicken chow mein and doesn't like kebabs
Natalie is having 'Take-away' withdrawal because she has been moaning we haven't had one for weeks  xx

Was going to do a bit of gardening today,
That was till i went out to take this pic and it was raining  
Aww well God loves a tryer
Here is my neighbours Rohdodendrun (probably spelt wrong)
Well it overhangs into our garden so you could say this bit is mine

I can hear the dawn chorus so i suppose i better go to bed  xx

Natalie and her pal were waiting on the twins turning before she went out  on Saturday night, It was nigh on 11pm before they went out   They were going to a pal (boy) of theirs house he was having few people round, So i  dropped the 4 of them off and sat up till 20 to 4 in the morning waiting for  natalie to come in, By then i had had enough and went to bed, 9 oc'lock in the morning i hear Natalie and her 3 pals all come in giggling and laughing, They bloody woke me up,i went back to sleep right enough,

Later on that day Natalie and one of the twins were sleeping in her bed, The other twin is sleeping on the floor on a quilt that was there because Jade had a friend and my neice stay over the night before and they slept on Natalies room floor, Natalie's other friend is in Jades room in her bed, Mo said "Do they not have homes to go to?"

Come dinner time i asked natalie if they were staying for dinner, "Yes" She said, Well this is going to be good because i only bought a bit of roast beef for me, Natalie and Jade, Luckily Jade went to my sisters to stay so that was one less, I managed to make it go round and one of them didn't like roast beef so i made her a chicken breast, 2 wanted mashed totties the rest of us i made roast totties, Mo said "They must think this is a hotel or something" I don't mind if i have it i will give it and Natalies pal calls me "Mum" she is here that often Sometimes it is like a halfway house in here Glad the twins don't frequent as much as they used to though!

The wee lassie that has been pallying about with Jade had to go home tonight because jade was going to my sisters,she did stay saturday night but she wasn't too happy
She is still wearing THAT jumper,swear her birthday is in August,i am going to buy her a new one then if not before  xx

I burned myself tonight!
I was making meatballs for spagetti and meatballs and was frying them in the frying pan,
I took them out when they were ready and put them on kitchen roll,
Then i lifted the frying pan in a hurry to put it in the sink and there was a load of fat in it from the meatballs and it spilled all over my side and down my jeans and all over the floor,
I was slipping all over the place on the greace trying to put the frying pan down,
Eventually i looked at my side and it was all red and really sore,
I put a wet dishcloth on it,
Luckily i had turned the pan down towards the end of cooking so it wasn't as hot as it could have been,
It was still bloody sore though and i still have a red mark  xx

'Stands up',
"Hi my name is Trina and i am an addict"

I am addicted to those bloody hidden object games on the internet!!!!

Sorry i have been neglecting you guys!  xx

Someone left a business card with my sister for Mo?
She gave it to me and it had Celtic Football Cub on it and Michael O'Donnel  Director with his mobile number and "For Mo" written on it,
I gave it to him and said "Who is that?"
"Aw Michael,i have known him for years,he is one of the Celtic Directors" He said,
Mo eventually phoned him and i asked what he wanted him for,
"He wants to go out for a meal to catch up" He said,
"What just you?" I asked Hoping i could go to,
"Well yes" He said,
Gutted!
"I did say to him i would get him up to the house for a meal one night" Mo said,
"And who will be cooking this meal?" I asked,
"You of course" said Mo,
"Aw does he like chips n egg then cause thats as good as i can do" I joked,
Mo just laughed,
"So if he is one of the directors that means you could get Jade to be one of the wee mascots that run onto the pitch with the players" I said,
"Yes but i will wait till there is a Championship game and ask then"
How cool would that be!
 xx

My car failed it's MOT yesterday
That is the first car i have had that has ever failed one,
And all my other ones have been bangers this one is only 3 years old
It was a baldy tire right enough,

Mo said to me whatever they say to you just say you have to talk to your partner first,
The guy did say "We can fit one for you and it will be £41"
"I have to speak to my partner first" I said.

Mo's pal  owns a garage so i took it down there this morning and they put a new tyre on it,
The guy George said "Your other front one is borderline i will put your spare on that one while i'm at it"
And he said if ever i need it valeted i was to bring it down, Brilliant!
So that was a new tyre and another put on all for ziltch,
Well Mo does electrical work when the guy wants and that tallies it up,
Then i had to take it back to the first garage and  they sent it away somewhere else for the re-test ???
It wasn't bad though i only had to  wait about 30 mins   xx

I went to Asda yesterday to get my messages,
I couldn't find Radishes so i said to Jade,
"Ask that man where the radishes are"
She went over to ask him and he turned around and he was absoloutely Drop Dead Gorgeous!
Me and my pal just looked at each other,
He said to Jade "C'mon i will show you where they are"
Me and my pal were falling over each other to follow him
My pal said "He is far too nice looking to be working in Asda"
"Take it you will be coming shopping with me every week" I said to my pal,
"Yes and I will be asking where lots of fruit and veg are" She said  xx

My 2 hanging baskets are up and i still have some flowers to plant but it has been raining the past couple of days so,
I bought one of those hoses on a pole that makes watering them easier

I went to a garden centre i hadn't been to before with my sister and friend the other day for lunch,
I was moving the milk jug out of the way incase Kurtis spilt it and it hit my sisters hand,
It landed with a loud thud on the table and went all over me and my jacket,
Everybody in the place was looking at me but i just laughed and anounced to my sister "That was your fault!"
We were all laughing for ages xx

Here is my enrty for the poetry competition:-

The Yearly Bus run (childhood Memories)

A frantic dash to board the bus,
And find the seat you want,
You join in when the singsong starts,
As you go on this magical jaunt.

You squeal with delight when you see the sea,
A sight not seen since last year,
The driver pulls into the carpark,
And everyone gives a big CHEER!

"Meet back here at 5 and please don't be late"
Says the driver before we all leave,
Somebody always gets drunk and holds up the bus,
And the driver is always quite peeved.

Then it's down to the beach to change behind towels,
Your mum holds up to spare your blushes,
A mad dash to the water that is bitterly cold,
And your mum wonders what the rush is.

With chattering teeth it's time to dry off,
It's like getting rubbed down with sandpaper,
The sand gets in your hair and everywhere else,
But is sorted with a warm bath later.

Corned beef sarnies that have a sandy crunch,
That really made me wince,
It put me off corned beef for life,
And i haven't eaten it  since.

The sun's going down it's time to head home,
Had enough freash air for one day,
The kids all moan "It's too early yet!"
They would all happily stay.

The bus journey home is much quieter now,
As some adults and most of kids sleep,
We will be home soon a good day had by all,
It's not often we get such a treat.

A whipround for the driver,
For being such a dear,
Got it all to look forward to,
As we do it all again next year.

Natalie has a boy in,Ooooooo!
His name is David and he is 18,
They are sitting in her room having a wee drinky poo!
Jade has already introduced him to all her teddys and her 2 new fish 'Pebbles and Tinkerbell' don't ask

Mo hasn't said a word about it,even bigger Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Wonder how long i should wait before i go up and embarrase her,
Only joking,would i do something like that  xx

Forgot i had said i would post a pcture of this for Foxhat,
This is the ceiling light version of the lamps you saw in my sisters house,
This is in Jades room ,personaly i hate it it is far too big for her room,but Mo picked it and with him being an electrician,he is into trendy lights
Since you like unusual lights you might like this one,this is above our diningroom table
Opps need to tell Mo one of thebulbs is out

This laptop has been acting funky today!
It better no funkin start me,
Cause it will go right out the windae  xx

It was so funny yesterday,we went to a big shopping centre called Buchannan Galleries and it has quite a lot of escalaters in it,
I was getting vertigo on them as they went up quite high and you could see over the sides,
Once we had done our shopping and had something to eat we decided to get the lift back down instead,
It is quite a modern building so the lift doors were clear glass and you can see the brickwork as you travel down,
I thought to myelf i hope we don't get stuck in this,

We got in along with another couple with a pram,
They got off one floor down,
Then when the doors closed Natalie started doing this stupid dance chanting "Final Destination" (You know the horror film where people die off one after another,think one died in a lift accident)
Anyway after a minute the lift shuddered and came to a halt,
Natalie started screaming "MUM,MUM,MUM!"
Then she lept for the alarm button and was pressing it franticly.

By doing this she freaked Jade out who joined in screaming and crying ,I was trying to reasure her while Natalie was having a fit,
The lift started again thank goodness and we got to the ground floor,
The doors opened and both Natalie and Jade came out screaming and the people coming in must have thought they were loonies,
It was so funny we laughed about it when they had calmed down but i was shaking like a leaf and so was Natalie and Jade.
Jade says she hates lifts now
I will try not thinking like that next time i get in a lift,seems i am tempting fate  xx

Here is natalies dress she eventually got,it is lovely on and i got myself a top it has lots of big jewels on it, well you know me
Like my shoes i love them
Click pic to make big  xx

I was really ruff this morning "Ruff,ruff!"
My mouth is like an Arabs sanny
It feels as hairy as a badgers bum 
"Bleurgh!" Still i will survive as the song goes,

Need to go into town with Natalie now  to try and get her a dress for the Communion
Did i tell you she leaves everything till the last minute  xx

Well if you have read my previous blogs,
You will know i dyed natalies hair tonight, Golden Brown
And yes i did wear the gloves and did things to the letter,
I still have managed to get brown dye under my right pinky nail,
My nails have been not bad and have sustained from biting them (for now)

But i checked the glove and it was not bust or anything,
I have one hand of nails you can paint (left)
and one set with a couple of bitten nails (right)
So i will have to either put nail varnish for the Communion on or everybody will think i have been scratching my chocolate starfish with my pinky nail,

 xx

I don't know but tell me if you think it is me or if something is a bit off, I haven't really heard from my best pal for a few days, It has been a couple of weeks since i have seen her,

She phoned on Monday morning as she was meant to come out shopping during the day with me and my sis, She said she was at her brothers surprise 40th Birthday party on Sunday and was a bit rough,

Okay i thought well that was nice i didn't get an invite  but i didn't say anything and listened as she explained how his pals organized it and how good his cake was "Blady,blady,blah! Then she told me where it was and the place is only 10 mins away from where i live, She went with his ex partner (who she is pally with)and his 20 year old son, whom he still keeps in contact with,

Then tonight i was going down to Tesco and have driven 2 mins down the road from where i live and see my pal walking down the road, It was near a T junction and the lights were green so i could go through them, I saw her but don't know if she saw me? WTF???? I know this women who is her brothers ex has just moved into a house up the road from me a couple of weeks ago, She stayed here for years and moved away for a couple of years now she has moved back, So she must have either been there or at her brothers, But what is getting me is she would have had to bypass my house to walk the way she was going, She must have seen my car in the drive and it wasn't too late it was only 8.20pm, She could have at least popped in for a quick cup of tea or just to say "Hello"

I don't know maybe i am being paranoid but it pissed me off anyway, My young sister was talking to her the other day and i was out and about and she said she was going to phone me that night but she never, My sis said she was a bit cagey when she mentioned the Commmunion as she is invited but i have a funny feeling she will make some excuse and not come, She has already told me her boyfriend isn't going as he is working, We will see what happens and i will phone in the morning and ask why she never came in,

Watch this space!  xx

It has been a busy day for me today,
First i had to take Jades blind track to the shop we got them from as she has snapped 3 of the wee plastic hooks off it you clip the vertical blind onto and it left a space and everytime i saw it it bugged me something rotten,
I tried glueing them but they always fell back down and they only charge £1 a hook so thats not bad,but if they picked the track up they were charging £10 for that so i just took it down to them.
Then i went to a shop that was selling BIG boxes of the soap powder i use (i had seen it last week when i was in with my sis but didn't have the money then)
£14.99 for a 7.41kg box and that does 76 washes,that might make the housekeeping money go a bit further if i don't have to buy soap powder for a while
I went up to see how my nephew was doing and my sis wasn't in just the girl that cleans for her,she said she would be home in an hour,
So i nipped home,put out a washing ,folded the rest and loaded the maschine again,then went back up to my sisters,
My sis and her  friend were in and we had rolls n bacon,
Ended up i had to feed Jonathan his cause he couldn't manage,
They are saying he can go back to school on Monday but he is still in agony,i think thats too soon,my sis said she would see how he is.

When i picked Natalie up from work i dropped her off then took my young sister up to The Bar-L (prison),
We drive into the carpark and my sister said "Did you remember to bring your ID?"
"Fuck,fuck,fuck!"
"No" What an idiot i am, so i decided to drive back home and make sure the kids had been fed,jumped outside and brought my washing in ,
Drove back up to pick her up and drop her off,came home and had my dinner,
After i eat i took Jade to Tesco to spend her piggybank money and pick up a few things,
Came home and Natalie asked me to dye her hair for the Communion,her pal was in but i did it as the wee lassie got it everywhere the last time,
I'm just sitting waiting to take Natalies pal home and it's half 11 and i still haven't had a beer   xx

Here's poor Jonathan feeling right sorry for himself,
He was even strugling to eat a piece and jam today!

What is it about boys?
My sister has just told me her son(he's 12) was going down a big hill on his bike with no hands and hit a bump,
Well the inevitable happpened,
He flew off over the handlebars,

She is just back from the hospital and he has broken his left wrist,has a fracture on his right wrist and dislocated his shoulder,
One wrist is in plaster the other in a splint and his shoulder is in a sling,she said he has no skin on his shoulder it is raw,
He was screaming in pain that much they had to give him Morphine,
He also has a big baldy patch on the side of his head and my sister said it looks like his hair has been singed,must have been with friction as he was traveling that fast,
She has to take him back to the Fracture Clinic in the morning to asses what they are going to do,
My poor sis is recovering herself and now has him to look after
She went to get him and said she hurt herself trying to lift his bike into the back of her car,
It is weird he always hurts himself in the run up to an occassion,last time he split his head open,
Don't know how she will get him dressed for the Communion on Saturday,
I said at least this will keep him off the X-Box for a while  xx

Just in,
Had the opertunity to go to the dancin but thought i was'nt  dressed enough so declined,
I went to a Bowling club tonight
My aunt is the manager and serves behind the bar,
WooHoo! Cheap drink,
Well for most of the night,
My sisters pal's man sings and he was booked to go there tonight,he is rather good if i say so myself,might get him for my 40th birthday party,
Then there was bingo
But my neice won the first line on the bingo £8
My sisters pal won the double line but there was 3 into it so she got £3.50
Then i won the FULL HOUSE! £16
It all went into the kitty!
Then they had a lotto thing and my sisters pal won and gets her winnings on Wednesday!
Think it is £200
How jammy is that,
Think the regulars are thinking it is a fix!!
Still what i thought was going to be a shit night actually turned out ok!
 xx

The past couple of days have been a washout here, Yesterday especially it rained all day, Today has been as bad but now it has brightened up a bit, My 2 sisters was going shopping and asked if i wanted to go but i really couldn't be bothered so they left my neice to play with Jade, They wanted to go out and play but it was raining so i eventually gave into them and let them out, Not before i wraped them up as best i could against the elements, I even put an old pair of wellies on my neice that had belonged to Natalie, They were too big but still.

I knew it was a big mistake as soon as they went out, 15 minutes later they came back in soaking wet and said they had fallen in the rain, I knew they had been splashing in the puddles,i could hear them So i stripped them and stuck them in the bath, I have made a big pot of vegetable soup so will give them some with crusty bread when they come out,I dread to go up and see what state the bathroom is going to be in! At least it will warm their cockles  xx

I watched Gran Torino last night with Clint Eastwood in it,
It was okay but nothing special,
Think it is time that old yin hung up his acting boots,

Anyway,i was going to write today how i used to think he was a really hansome man when he was a LOT younger,
I loved his voice too,very sexy!
Now today i am sitting watching "Any which way but loose" on TV,
How's that for a coisidence  xx

I went to try and buy a dress the other day in TK Maxx but never saw anything i fancied, i did see this though and bought it for Natalie,
It is a wee clutch bag covered in diamonties and i thought it was lovely and had to buy it,
She was well delighted and said she has see one similar to this in her magazines and it was £60,well i never paid £60 only £12.99

I went out today at 3pm to pick Jade up from school then drop her off at the house as Natalie was in,
My sis had asked me to come up and take her to her daughters school for Parents Evening (she is still not driving yet)
Looks like her daughter has been giving the teachers lip and my sis scolded her for it,she is the same age as Jade
If that's her now don't want to see whhat she will be like in High School.

Then i took the 2 neices to their dancing class for 6pm which is in Partick! (was looking  for you Nulty,saw a couple of pubs you have mentioned)
My sis came with me to show me the way as i don't know that end of the city,
It was a nightmare as it was rush hour traffic and had to pass through the M6 into the City Centre then onto the West End (Partick) and it is two of the worst places to go at that time,
It even came over the radio about how gridlocked it was,
It was really windy as well and the car was getting blown all over the Motorway,
They only go there because it is my sisters, sister in law that runs it and they get the classes for nothing so my sister feels obligated to take them,
I said "You are nuts having to drive all this way and back just for dancing lessons,tell her it is too much for you!"
My sis stays in Newton Mearns which is not just around the corner,

Anyway she managed to tell me the wrong turn to take and we ended up on this big gigantic hill,it was called 'Gardner Street'
To try and get back onto the right road she kept telling me to turn left at every junction but every left turn was a dead end so we ended up at the very top and the kids were like "Yeah! This is like being on a roller coaster"
Then i turned left and followed the road and kept going and going and going,
"Think we have to turn back and go back down the way we came" my sis said,
"No shit Sherlock" I said and it was one of those really narrow streets like all of them are in the West End,
That is why i hate the West End (sorry Nulty) it is all one way systems and really narrow streets with loads of parked cars etc!
I do a 3 (65 ) point turn and go back down the big hill,the kids are all squealing in the back,by this time i'm sweating with anxiety cause i hate driving places i don't know where i'm going,
Gets back onto the main road and turns up the next street up eventually finding the hall the dancing is in,
Dropped the kids off and headed back and as i turn out of the road to go onto the Main Street, i recognise the place!
"I've been here before" I said
I remembered, I had went there to meet a guy who was selling a Suzuki Swift,it was my old car!
"This is where i bought my old car from,how funny is that" I said
Getting back was just as bad as the traffic was still chock a block and i had to cross 3 lanes on a 6 lane Motorway "shudder"

Got back and had a sandwich and waited till 8.45pm to go back and get them,
My sisters man was sitting on his fat arse watching football!

It wasn't as busy on the way back but it started pouring with torrential rain and i could'nt see out the windscreen
My sis had her wee dog with her and even the wee dog was terrified, it was bouncing down!
Still got there and back safely and had a quick cup of tea,
I drove down the road with Anastasia for company and got in at 10.30pm!

Mo and Natalie were in bed, Jade was in natalies room and said she was hungry they hadn't had any dinner
FFS! Can nobody do anything in this fuckin house!
I said to Natalie before i left she could make them a Baked potato or stick a pizza in but she obviously never,i even told her to phone me if she needed help!
I phoned when i was in my sisters and Natalie said Mo had made himself something to eat (but he is selfish that way he will make himself something but not think to ask anybody else if they want anything)
I went in and said to Mo "Did you not give the kids anything to eat?"
"No i didn't know what to make them and i didn't know when you were coming in?" He said,
AND??????
It is just as well Jade didn't phone "The Cruelty"  
Mo did say i was "Aff my head to do all this they should have just cancellled the dancing lesson"  but they have their show soon so that is why they had to go for rehersals,
My sis does it 2/3 times a week,it is her that is aff her head! I said what she saves in fees she must spend on petrol!  xx

I bought myself a couple of bunches of flowers yesterday cause they were in a bucket outside a wee florists and priced at 50p a bunch,
How good was that so i bought 3 and i got this lovely vasefull for £1.50

The lady said they wouldn't last long, sill i think that was a real bargin!
Click pic to make big!  xx

I went with my young sister to Barlinnie Prison to go see her boyfriend,
What an experience that was,
Firstly you have to get the prisoner to put your name on the visiting order a few days before you go,
Then when you get there you have to go to the desk and show photographic ID with your address on it,I had my Driving Licence with me,
They then give you the allocated table number that the prisoner will meet you at,
 When it is time to go in you go through some doors and put your bag,jacket and anything else you have into a locker,
After that you go and sit on very uncomfortable seats with all the other visitors in another room,
They anounce you can't have any paper money on you and to keep the lids on your drinks when in there,
Oh and there are no toilets in the visiting area either only in the seating area where we are,
I then looked about and saw a notice saying "Sniffer dogs patrol this area!"
Nice,I don't want some dog coming up sniffing about me,
Then a guard comes and opens another door and starts anouncing table numbers 2 at a time,
Then you go up a flight of stairs and go in another door where 2 other guards are standing,
One male and one female,
Women visitors go to the female guard,men to the male one,
They ask you to open your hands then your mouth and then they frisk you down and they ask you to empty your pockets,
After we found the table i went up to the booth to buy some juice and crisps,
3 bottles of juice and 3 packets of crisps.............£5,what a rip off!,
Then we wait for the inmates to come in,
I noticed a sign saying "There is no sharing of any food!"
So after a 28 minuite visit they annouce "2 minuites left of visiting" Then after 2 mins "Visiting is now over!"
After the visit is up,we have to remain sitting until all the inmates have left the room,then wait and wait until they come and open the door to let us out,
Must say it wasn't the best way i could have spent my Wednesday evening but i said i would take her up again  so will have to do this all over again next week  xx

After planning to go to the hospital with wee sis this morning and then take big sis to the docs to get her staples out,
Looks like i am not needed after all,

Wee sis is going to the hospital with her pal,
Big sis is going to the docs with her pal

Looks like i am not needed after all today,
Mmmm think i might go back to bed for a bit  xx

It is my neices First Holy Communion on the 16th of this month,
which is a week this Saturday,
I have still to get an outfit to wear,i have already bought Jade something but she still needs shoes,

Jade will not be making her First Holy Communion even though she goes to a Catholic School,
Her Dad did not want her brought up a Catholic and i didn't want her brought up Muslim so she is Non Denominational,
Still I allowed her to go to Chapel with the school as i am Catholic but she was not involved in any the preporations the kids did in the run up to their Communion,

It is just as well as we were informed her class will be making theirs on the same day as my neice,
Natalie made hers when she was Jades age and i still have her dress hanging in her cupboard,Jade has had it on a few times dressing up!  xx

You know i told you we get mice in the garage,
Well they are back,
I discovered one of Jades Easter eggs all nibbled and a bag of lolipops,
Last time they were so fly it took a few times to catch one,
This time Mo put 2 traps down and the next morning both had a wee mouse in them,
He is such a girlies blouse he had to put gloves on to open the traps and  get them out and was like holding the traps with his fingertips
He reset them last night and i have just went in and there is another 2 mice in the traps,
He has placed the traps right next to my beer so when i go in to get one i will have to look at them "shudder"  xx

My young sister was at the docs this morning as she has had a tingling/burning feeling in her back and has been getting shooting pains too,
This has been going on for 3 weeks
She said she was scared to go incase he told her it was lung cancer or something,
I told her "Don't be silly it  sounds like a trapped nerve or something to me"
It was getting worse so that is why she went,

She phoned us this morning and said he is sending her to get a scan of her lungs and her spine,
It seems her spine is twisted as he could feel it when he examined her,
She is to go tomorrow so i will go with her,
He said he thinks it is because her spine is twisted that is why she is getting the pain,
Seems she could have done it years ago and it is just bothering her now,

I need to go and buy some messages "Groan!" as there is nothing in here for dinner,i have only been doing it a couple of weeks and already it seems tedious to me,
Even the kids are refusing to go with me so i am on my lonesome
Back soon! xx

I have had a few strange experiences this weekend,
Meeting people i haven't seen for years!
2 Guys i knew when i was a wee girl and i still recognised one of them even though he now has an Engish accent as he had been living in London for over 20 years,

But the strangest has to be last night,
I met my sis and her pal for a drink and this guy came up and sat beside me and said "OMG! How are you,how are you doing?"
I'm like "What?"
Then i realised i knew him,
It was the guy who works in the Funeral place next to where i live,
I got to know him when i used to go evey week and pay off the outstanding bill on my Dads funeral and i did that for a year,That was in 1998
I think it was about £500 and i used to pay £10 off my Social money every week,my big sis could have just went down and wrote a cheque but it was left to me to pay it off,still it didn't bother me.

The guy 10 years on still remembered me,how weird is that???
He was like this to my sister "Do you know something,see this girl she is a really special person,such a lovely person,you only meet a couple of people like this in your lifetime and your sister is one of them"
I was gobsmacked,
I said "It must have been because i came every week and paid off that bill"
He said "No the money has nothing to do with it,it is just i know you are a really special person"
I said "Does that mean i will get into Heaven when i go?"
"Definately!" He said
I told him i now lived right next door to the Funeral parlour and joked about how when i go,Mo was going to just chuck me over the fence
"How long have you worked there?" I asked him
"18 Years" He said
My sister said "That's weird because the amount of people you must see and you still remember her"
"Yes and that is why i know she is a special person" he said,
He was slightly pished right enough and kept staring at me which made me really uncomfortable,
Evetually he left with his borther and we were laughing about it,
I said "Hope he's not into Necrophilia"  xx

I just want to apologise to everyone for doing something i haven't done for years!
I just feel so stupid now and am really sorry,
I promise it won't happen again and want to thank everyone for the lovely words of support!
 xx

OMG!It would  be so simple if some people loved me
as in

Forgot to let yous know, Natalie got into her college course,
Now it is another £39 for her uniform (this will be the second one i will have bought)

Her other college sent her quite a cheeky letter telling her that she had been formaly taken off the Beauty Therapy course and to return the kit and uniform they had supplied  xx

Jade has just come in and anounced her and the wee girl want to have a picnic as they are sitting in the garden cause it is sunny,
Jade wants toast and tuna and the wee girl wants tomato sauce sandwiches,
Do'nt think this wee girl ever gets fed???  xx

Jade has been palying about with this wee girl that stays a few houses down,
She is older than jade and is taller than me
She is 13
It is a shame,i feel really sorry for her,she lives with her Gran and Grandad as it seems she was abused by her mother when she was younger,
She has a younger brother and an older sister but the Gran could'nt handle all 3 of them so she put 2 into a Residential home,
Think the wee girl lived in Guersey or somwhere like that,
She has been living here for a good few years now but we never really saw much of her,

Now she is here all the time and i think Mo is starting to get fed up with it,
She seems to turn up at dinner time and i end up having to make her some to,
Today i made her some lunch with Jade now they are out playing,she borrows Jades scooter,
I don't think the wee girl has mich as she is amazed at all the stuff Jade has,
I heard her tell Jade her Gran does'nt buy her anything and never gives her any money for sweets etc,
Now Jade has been asking to go to the garage for sweets and it is a case of if i give Jade money,i have to give the wee girl some to and it is not just a few bob,Jade is asking for a pound at a time,
Mo says she is just milking it and next time she comes at dinner time to tell her to go home till Jade is finished,
I don't know because the wee girl does'nt exactly come acoss as fly and does'nt exaxtly have the best of stuff,
I was going to ask if she wanted some of Natalies old clothes but she is taller than Natalie so they would be no good,
She has had the same jumper on ALL week????
Call me gullibile but i still feel sorry for the wee lassie  xx

My hair was fucked up!
I had to go to another hairdressers after it for them to fix it!

Natalie recieved a letter from the college that she applied to in the post this morning,
She was sleeping when i gave her it and said she would open it when she gets up

I hate being kept in suspense but i have to go out soon so i will not know till later on
I'm away to make tea n that for my sis that is still recuperating after her op  xx
