Movie mania!

I can't wait for Toy Story 3! I saw this super duper display at the cinema (I was going to see Iron Man 2) and it just so happened I had my new talking Cowgirl Jess (courtesy of my boyfriend who got me talking Sheriff Woody for Christmas).
Tonight I think I will watch Dumbo on Blu-ray and cry.

I need a maid.

Today I am fed up. It is my day off today and the house is a shit-hole. All I do is work where I have to clean stuff everyday. Then on my days off my house is so gross I have to clean that too. I just want to cry. I'm not even out of my pyjamas and I can't find any energy to do anything. I need to pick up all the junk, clean EVERYTHING and find time to go to the gym too. I don't want to do any of these things.I want it to rain and for me to get in bed and sleep with a pillow over my head.
To top it all off I have constipated cat who I've been trying to coax into having a poo all morning (she's managed a few nuggets for those that wish to know the details). She is very miserable and keeps running to the litter tray, straining then running away. She also dug up half of my garden trying to go out there too.
Sigh. I need a maid. A maid who will clean my house, iron my clothes, massage my cat's rectum and cheer me up.

Holiday NO activity.

The holiday activities have slowed down some. Yesterday was a non-day and the most exciting thing to happen was going to the gym and watching Trailer Park of Terror.
Today? Pretty much the same.... waiting for a man to come and fill some holes in the walls with plaster. Great stuff.
However, here is a (not very good) picture of me and my nephew on the Sheffield Big Wheel. I think I have my eyes a bit shut because it is very high up! You can see the buildings out the window! Eeeeek!

Holiday activity 5.

Today I went to the cinema to see Kick Ass. From the adverts I thought I would hate it and that is looked cheesy and naff...... But I really did like it! It has everything I want from a film. Ultra-violence AND a bit that made me cry! It was also pretty funny too.......see it!
Now we're looking into ordering a pizza and watching a Giallo film..... or the Touch of Frost box set! Winning combo!

Holiday activity 4.

Today we went to Heeley City Farm and a Peacock (not this one!) fluffed his tail up! There was a grouse-type bird who kept running under his tail and he was getting really angry! His Peahen was not interested in the slightest.
We also watched a Goose making a nest and I said she would lay her eggs. We went for a walk and when we came past again she had laid her eggs and she was honking at all the childdren to get away from her eggs!
We also saw Gerry the cat who lives at the farm lounging in the sun.
Guinea Pigs, Rabbits, Chipmunks, Degus, TARANTULAS, a snake, chickens, ducks, chicks, sheep, lambs, goats.
One sheep was getting ready to lamb. She looked real pissed off, waddling round.
I love animals!
We also sampled the tasty veggie cafe treats.
Lovely!

Holiday activity 2 and 3.

Yesterday I met my sister-in-law and two nephews, Ewan who is 2 1/2 and Daniel who is 5 months. We had a lovely day! We went to see all the Sheffield fountains, the Winter Gardens and the Peace Gardens. I see these things every day and they are lovely but its quite nice to see them through the eyes of a child! He was amazed by everything!
He got to go on this cool ride (as you can see he's super excited by it!) then we went on the Sheffield Big Wheel! (which he was also excited about!) I have to say it was quite scary on the way up..... the first time..... but you get used to it and it was quite fun! Obviously Daniel didn't appreciate the wheel as he can't really look at and say "Ooh look, a balloon" etc but he's so lovely and I got cuddle him when we went for a coffee. I think he likes my bright dresses because he always stares at them mesmerised then grins at me!
One of my favorite bits of that day was a little old lady talking to wan and asked him "is that your baby brother?" to which he simply said "no".... Then Anna made him tell the truth. Oh! Sibling relationships!
After the Big Wheel we met Joe... the lad.... He was too scared to go on the wheel! We had a late afternoon gym session (which I am feeling the burn of now) and I went out with the girls!
It was fun to see them but Sheffield = TOTAL WASHOUT on a Monday. There were hideous wasted fancy dress (BAAAAAD fancy dress) students crawling everywhere. Foul! We made it our mission to find rounds of drinks for 4 people under £5.... which took us to some unholy bars... Players..... Basements..... They are the the lowest of the low. The night ended with a man waggling his chip shop sausage at my oldest chum nd me giggling like a naughty teenager..... very mature.

Holiday activity 1.

Today I went to Graves Park. You can walk to it from my house in about 40 minutes then have a lovely walk through the woods (uphill!) and then you cn go round the animal farm! Here are a few friends I made today.

Holiday!... Celebrate!... doopdedoodoo.

I am now officially off work for 8 whole days! Its great on so many levels... The weather is picking up and its nice and sunny. It's 8 days of not getting talked to like dog dirt. And I miss out on Sale Prep, Stock Take and visit from the company big wigs. Not that any of that stuff is a bad thing.... it's just to not do it for once. Though I do feel guilty for not taking the load..... but then I did book this holiday about three months ago.
I've had a good start to the holiday already. Getting fed tasty vegetables coated in cheeeeeeese and drinking lovely Paris Rose (http://charleydreams.blogspot.com/) THE tastiest Strawberry and cream vodka at my chum Charley's... Even Gwen the cat remembered me and came over for a tickle and it's been quite a time since I saw her!
Plans for the holiday are...... NOTHING! Not really! I will do some stuff such as......... A seaside jaunt is on the cards, a girl's night out dancing is set in stone and I would quite like to go see some animals at Heeley City Farm (http://www.heeleyfarm.org.uk/) and eat their lovely vegetarian foods! I will be seeing my lovely nephews hopefully and possibly taking in the sights of Sheffield on the big wheel (http://www.sheffield.gov.uk/whats-new/wheel)......It is also the celebration of my oldest friend's birthday at the weekend where I shall be partaking in Italian food and BYO wine activities with a slice of dancing afterwards perhaps....... another thing I would like to do is master the art of cupcake making!
So really..... I will be doing stuff. HOORAY!

New look for summer 2010.

Hawaii!

Weight loss.

How will I ever lose weight?!

Happy Easter!

What an eggsellent start to the day.... A great big veggie breakfast at the Easter table!
