100th Post!

Yes readers. this is my 100th posted entry. Now I realise that people like Mr Robinson have achieved this milestone eons ago but I felt that I ought to mention it non the less. Gemma sent me a message earlier saying that she couldn't get a half day off work so we couldn't go and get her navel pierced. She will go next thursday, so I will be on hand to assist in any way possible. I phoned Jo today to ask her how her holiday went. The phone rang out, then I heard someone pick up and then turn the phone off.... I was most shocked. I have tried calling three times since and the phone is still switched off... She should be coming out later with the gang so I will ask her then what was going on... Well thats my day... Oh I have started work on a painting for a couple at the Legion who are moving to Greece. They want the name of their house (which is "Vine View Villa") on a wooden plaque. The couple in question is Derek and Helen who used to run the off licence next to the chemists by Morgam News (for those of you who know wythall.) They are a great couple and I am honoured that a piece of my work will be on display on the side of their new home. I have only just begun it so here is a sample of what will be the lower left section...






After it is all painted (The text at the top will be the most difficult) It will be cut into a wiggly type shape and sealed with a soft varnish. It should look really nice.

Well thats about it for today readers. TTFN

Let the music play!

My car is now complete! Me and Kieron (thats my sisters boyfriend, incase you don't know) fitted my autochanger... Well Kieron fitted it and I sort of dotted about looking like i knew what i was doing... Which I didn't. I could see how it all plugged in and everything but I wouldn't have been able to run the cable through. He tucked it up between all the plastic panels and the upshot of it is that you wouldn't even know the cable is there. It is completely invisible. I was all happy and went to do my daily stint at the Legion. Coming out of the Legion at 7 o' clock I did a very stupid thing...

I reversed into a skip.

Now I always try and look for the good in any situation but this one really pissed me off. I had finaly got my car sorted and then I go and bugger it up by cracking my rear bumper on a big blue thunking great lump of metal...

Bollocks.

I will be phoning a few local body shops tomorrow to see if I can get it sorted. Well at 8 o' clock I went down to my nans and watched Top Gear. Whilst watching Top Gear I received a text message. It read:


From: GEMMA
TONKS

gaz, wil U cum with
me to get my navel
pierced tomorrow
?


I thought "this might be fun!" and agreed. Although seriously I suppose it is a daunting task and I will be on hand to offer any support required. I will consider it my good deed for the day.

Changing the subject entirely, yesterday was my great aunt and uncles Golden wedding anniversary. about 25 of the family went to a pub in Abbots Bromley. I drove myself, mother, Selena and Kieron. I was following my nan and grandad. It was a good drive and I had forgotten how driving through the queensway makes you feel like you are in Monaco! We got there early and were stood on the carpark for half an hour until the place opened. I had an 8oz fillet steak with new potatoes. And cherry cheesecake for dessert. Lovely!

We got home much earlier than expected and, since I had booked the night off work, I went over to Adams house. Gemma phoned him and asked if he wanted to go for a drink in the Plough. We both went and talked all night about how Gemma notices when people fancy other people and how she wanted either a vibrator, or a "3 minute man" as a boyfriend... Rather odd, yes but thats how the conversation went. (The navel pircing wasn't mentioned at this point.) We all left at 11:15 and by 11:40 had all gone home and logged on to MSN messenger where we continued talking about... stuff, before we all decided to log off and get some shut-eye.

Well thats that. I am going to get something to eat, I'm hungry!

How lazy am I?

Howdy readers. well I woke up today, glanced at my alarm clock and all I could see was

11:40 am

I thought... "hmm... Thats not right. I wonder why it's saying 11:40?" The answer was very simple. It WAS 11:40. I had not woken up (which is strange for me as I usually get up at about 9:30 If I have nothing to do)
But how bad is that? Half of my day, vanished due to lazyness. Let this be a lesson to you all. Lazyness will defeat the best laid plans (Hey! that sounded like it could make a really good proverb! Lets see if Mr Turbitt will use it on his blog... If he does, I know it has made the grade.)

Thats it for now readers. Consider this blog a therapy session for me, and yourselves as my Psychiatrists.
