Cross my palm with silver .....ok a ten pound note then!

Hello :o)

Jus had to come on here to tell you all how silly i was today......i was robbed.....yep, i said robbed.......by a gypsy....lol....

I was parking my car at the side of the road when a lady (the gypsy) knocked on my window, i hadn't even got the hand brake on....thinking she was going to tell me something important like you have a flat tyre, i opened the car door, she caught hold of my hand and said 'i have something important to tell you, he will be alright', i was a bit amazed and Kevin came to mind as he has just suffered a suspected heart attack (more of that later) i did try and interject at this point by saying i had no money......'just a little' she said, 'i don't have any change' i told her 'i have plenty change' she said and carried on reading my palm. She told me there were two men in my life, one wanted to be my friend the other my lover (i think we know which one you are Kevin - oops, thinking out loud....hehee) she told me to take things 'slowly' and enjoy it, there will be much happiness. She then went on to say i would be going to a wedding soon - i am on Saturday ! She also spoke of my mother, not completely accurately, she also said i was very happy where i was living and to not let anyone old or sick move in - bit of a weird thing to say i thought. She also said and this is what brought me down to earth ........'you are going to win $80,000 (i'm using Sandra's mac and cannot find pound sign) in August......well i am telling you if i do not win i am gonna track her down and ********* lol.... she even said that when i win our paths will cross again and i will give her 200 pounds......what !!!

She then gave me two sea shells, one for good health and one for happiness. She then said for 100 pounds she would make a lifetime wish come true......i couldn't believe it, she was asking me for 100 pounds, i told her i did not have that much money, and she said 'you do, in the bank'........so i asked her ' which bank, because i don't know of it' ....lol.....she said 'ok lady, 60 pounds'..... 'no, i don't have that much money' i said again. I opened my purse and took out a ten pound note, as i had nothing smaller, she took it straight out of my hand, i was waiting for change and she wished me good luck and was gone!

So the moral of this story is if you want sea shells, go to the beach ! I've got to get tougher and stop all this silly nonsense of thinking i will get bad luck if i say no to these gypsies.

Speaky soon :o)

Hello

I finally have my outfit for the wedding and i'm afraid its 'pink' a nice dusky pink, not to bright! I did have a hat, but it does not match my new outfit so have to look for a new hat tomorrow when i pop into Truro. I'm really excited, i can't wait, my Mum's three sisters are all coming to the wedding. Tristan was the first grandchild to be born, so he is special to everyone. Its just such a shame that Mum will not be there to see him get wed. I know she will be looking down on us all, but it will be a day of mixed emotions - i've already had several little cries, daftie that i am .....i hate being so emotional at times.

This has been my last day at work. Tomorrow i am having my nails done and then my hair, it will be a nice relaxing pampering day. I'm hoping to do a bit of clothes shopping too as after the wedding i am off to stay with a much loved and dear friend of mine, we used to work together many moons ago. She lives in Somerset and has a hot tub....how fab is that ?!?!? We plan to go shopping in Bath for the day and do all sorts of things. I can't wait, it will be soooooo exciting.....hehee.

My flatemate persuaded me to look at a computer dating site, and tho i wasn't to keen i'm glad i did because i have met a very nice local lad (have to be careful what i write cos he has asked to read my blog - should i let him?) Our first date was dinner at the Blue, it was a wild windy evening, the Blue was very busy as usual but we found a nice little tucked away table outside in a sheltered spot. The waves were magnificent, big and white, Kevin remarked how they looked like a winter sea. We had a fabulous evening, the spark was there from the start (which really surprised me), we chatted and giggled, held hands and kissed.....it was lovely. He asked if he could see me again the following night and i readily agreed, but so soon i said, then he explained that he was off to sea on the Friday, a fishing trip lasting around 12 days. I will probably not see him now until i return from Somerset - wow, can't wait.

I've started to do the Atkins diet and am pleased to say the pounds are falling off me...hehee....... i want to loose some weight so that i can have my knees replaced next year. The consultant said i need to loose some, i'm feeling totally focused and have started my swimming again too.....tho i suspect its the draw of the jucuzzi for me really.....its sooooo relaxing and i love it !

I'll be back soon with tales of the wedding and hopefully a pic or two.
Speaky soon :o)

I have nothing to wear...

Hello :o)

Tristan's wedding draws closer and i still have not found anything i like. The whole of last weekend was spent shopping, trying on outfits....ooo that's nice but not really what i'm looking for.....ooooo i like that but do you have it in my size...no.....oooo....this is the one ......nope, does not look right on me.....i'm tired and exhausted, well i was until i walked into the shoe department, wow, lots of lovely shoes, i instantly loved the black high heels, was paying the assistant when she casually said, i've bought a pair of these, nicer than the PINK ones.... i didn't see pink i said.......now i have two pairs, one in pink and one in black....hehee.....well a girlie has got to have nice shoes to wear under her jeans!! and just as i was leaving i spotted another pair, the flip floppy shoe with the ankle bit, in a nice minky suede.... luv em :o) So i have shoes and i have a hat but nothing else.....hmmmm....being arrested comes to mind now ....lol...

Its raining in my car ...

Hello :o)

Poor Miss Latte has been back in the garage......... a leaky roof, yet again, how many times can you take a new car back to the garage with the same problem. To be honest i am so fed up with it now i just feel like putting up with it. I asked that nice chap 'Mat', will Nissan take her back as the problem still remains unrectified......he looked astonished at my question. 'I doubt it very much' he said 'look, all convertibles leak even merc's and BMW's'..... now i looked astonished.....'well i used to own a 15 year old Mazda MX5 soft top, and her roof never leaked' he just looked at me, i felt i had to justify my statement, so put my hand over my heart and said 'honest'. He smiled at me and said 'leave it with us we'll see what we can do'. As i drove away from the garage i made a promise to myself, if they don't fix the leaky roof i am not going to complain anymore, i shall put a towell on the seat to soak up the water and live with it.

The next day i collected Miss Latte, 'we've fixed her, this little bung hole was blocked and the water was backing up and being forced back into the car', i was told.
Hmmm..... we'll see - jus waiting for rain now.

Its that Friday feeling ....

Hello :o)

today my friday feeling has been one of 'manicness' if there is such a word. Its been hot in the office and working in Customer Services for the Council means lots and lots of phone calls and today has been soooooo busy......... i think everyone in Cornwall must have been on the beach all week and then suddenly thought 'i must call the council today as i've been putting it off all week'....and wow did the phone calls come rolling in. I feel exhausted.......but still able to have a little giggle, so many people are cross and angry when they ring the council but then so many are nice and don't want to put you to any trouble. So yipeeeee the weekend is here.

My flatemate emailed me to say we are having a bar-b-q on the beach this evening.......this is my favourite pastime now ......hers too i think, hehee...... we are planning to have another one on Sunday after the football - yes, it's round to The Cove for footie and a beer followed by a barbie on the beach. Life is fab at The Cove - and as we say here 'we're in the groove'. tee hee.

Thank you for you messages and text's concerning my broken heart - i have felt quite fed up and down about the 'split' its thrown up a lot of emotions and feelings. I will no doubt get over it, life goes on but i have come to the conclusion that its hard work being in love. I'm now back on the shelf and am staying there for a good while yet........ possibly forever :o)

Last monday was the summer solstice and once i have downloaded all my photo's i shall post my little adventure on here with pics for you to have a giggle at.

Have a lovely weekend and speaky soon :o)

PS How did that pic get on there.....tee hee

Hello

Firstly i want to say how very sad it was to hear of Jane's passing. So many tributes have been paid to her, she was so many things to so many people. To me she was a lovely blogger, so interesting to read, she made me laugh and cry. She wrote about her life with such zest you were always left wanting to know more. - God bless you Jane you were a brilliant blogger.

Auntie Pat had a wonderful birthday, thank you to all of you that sent her good wishes. I had a lovely week with her.

I have also been very busy commuting back and forth to stay with Stu in Manchester. Flying rather than driving, and it feels quite a luxurious way to travel i might say. I will definately be getting myself a small jet when i win the lottery.......(giggles)......i actually won the office bonus ball lottery this weekend.......£22..... it will go in my shoe fund .......(giggles).

Stu and i are over, i want to say many things but this is not the place for me to do it. All i will say is that i thought he was the 'one'. My hopes are shattered, i feel let down and disappointed. Does this mean my 'fish' is still swimming out there somewhere in the sea?

Well it looks as if summer has arrived - it is scorching hot here in Cornwall. And when i say its arrived and that the fact it was the Summer Solstice yesterday, so now the nights start to draw in ......eeek !! And yes i did celebrate the Solstice and i shall tell you all about that tomorrow.

Speaky soon :o)

Happy 80th Birthday

Hello :o)

I am in Birmingham. Its my Auntie Pat's birthday tomorrow, she will be 80. She is not to happy at the thought of being 80 years old, 'how can someone be that old' she asked me earlier today as we were talking about all the years that have passed. But what a wonderful long and happy life you've had - it doesn't take much to get me to start the reminscing - and its true she has had a happy life. I'm not saying its all been easy, because it hasn't, but considering all factors it has been happy. She has been married to the same man she met when she was 16 years old, had two sons and has worked hard all her life. Family are very important to her and have always come first. I remember as a child when she and my uncle and cousins would come to stay with us during the summer holidays the fun we would have. She loved her sisters children as if they were her own, and as we have grown up and had children of our own, she has always remembered thier birthdays too. Auntie Pat has always been such fun to be with and she still is today, she may be a bit slower, she may have a few more wrinkles on her face but she is just as much fun. Tomorrow is going to be a lovely day, full of laughter, happy faces, smiles, lots of good wishes, people dropping by to wish her Happy Birthday - i can't wait for the party to start !
