28 today

Yes indeed I am a liar- sorry---- just wishful thinking really. Have had a lovely day so far. Spent the day at a Women's conference, all inspired now to follow my dreams, be more assertive take control. Goo' ol americans- I do love them so much for being the go getters that they are.


I now really have to go and pack- not done that as yet.

Ps: in my last blog where it says 'it wasn't my idea to live' I meant leave.....obviously.:o)

Hardcore Heaven

As one of my commentators would like to know my shennanigans of the weekend I thought I'd best update. Just to clarify it wasn't Happy Hardcore- A completely different genre of Hardcore house- faster. The one we went to is just Hardcore. And we didn't stay long. I hasten to add that that it wasn't my choice to live but Craig found it a little to hard. I loved it. But it's no good when the person you are with isn't having. So we joined Anthony and Sonja at Garlands and had a much better time. Left Liverpool at around 6.30am. I drove through the very thick fog back home and then spend the whole of Sunday in bed. Literally the whole of Sunday. I think I'm starting to get to old for it all.

Right off to work. And I've checked my birth certificate I'm really turning 27 not 28. Liz it looks like all this time I was a year younger then you. :o)

One week to go

Can't believe that I'm going to be 28 in a week. This year has gone so fast. I had a brilliant birthday last year but who knows what this one will bring. The day after my birthday I fly to Vancouver to see Mum and Dad. Can't wait. I've had a couple of shit days at work and getting very bored of this assistant malarky. Running theme in my life- boring jobs. If anyone has any advice on how to deal with people who just want to show you up please pass it on. I have this one lady at work who picks on all my little mistakes and instead of just telling me that I've made a mistake and what I should do to remedy it she makes a big drama out of them in front of the whole team. It's horrible. But yes I'm not assertive enough to stand up to myself. Going on an 8 week self help assertiveness course hopefully soon, which hopefully will help me get some techniques on how to deal with people without getting angry.

Other things that have happened in a week- Started jiving again-Hooray. Love it.
My sister came to visit and we went shopping at the Trafford Centre without me having a heart attack.
Sunday lunch with the Sherratt family and big sis. All rather lovely.

Amateur photography

So here are some of the photos from our night with Mr Rudd. What a talented guy. Unfortunately my videos and photos don't do him justice but hey I'm learning to use it.

Firstly the lovely Cate and Sal.

Now an attempt in adding a video. Bear with it.....

sorry didn't work. Not sure why. But I'm sure you'll forgive me for just putting up these two lovely ladies.
And one of the musical one man band genius.

Dinner guest

My parents sent me this photo which made me smile. The unusal dinner guests you get at the ranch!

On hold

I'm on hold with my bank terribly inconvenient this whole waiting business. Instead of getting frustrated mind I thought I'd update this site. Lots of fun has been had this week.
Firstly last sunday we went to see Xavier Rudd. That's Cate, Sally and I. Took a road trip to Liverpool and had great fun. He is amazing!!! Will endeavour to post some photos at some point.
Then I went to a gig at the Academy 3. Strange being in the Student's Union again without being a student. It was fun though. It has rather changed. We went to hear an unsigned band called The Reason. They were good. Very Oasis like.
So yes two gigs in one week. Very unlike me but good fun.
Today was good too. Went shopping with two of my bridesmaids Sally and Lorna. Took a while to find them dresses. It seems blue is the colour for shoes but not for dresses. But House of Fraser did not let us down. They are absolutely gorgeous. Just hope my sister fits into the one we bought her. :o)

It's been raining cats and dogs up here so didn't ride Kate. Still on hold can't believe this. Need to have a shower really as Craig is coming to pick me up in about 40 minutes.

Oh the Vespa didn't sell on ebay. So that was a bit of waste of time and money. No idea how I'm going to sell it now.
