November 26 Thanks for the poem Robert..... Friends are the Sunshine of Life!
Thanks for brightening my world with the warmth of your friendship!
Friendship is a rare jewel that shines only when you give it a sunny smile!
Friendship is a dream which comes true, only when you believe in it!
THANK YOU FOR BEING MY FRIEND!
 Val x November 21 Flood devastation in our areaAll my worries over the last week about the controller are minuscule compared to the devastation the local floods have been. You will all have seen on the news about the floods in Cumbria and about that poor policeman who lost his life saving others on the bridge that collapsed. I didn't realise until last night that this man was an ex neighbour and we knew him and his wife and 4 kids. He was my sisters ex husbands best friend and Debbie, my sister, is in shock! Loads of people have been left homeless which is so awful but I bet they are cuddling their loved ones close knowing that at least they are alive and can rebuild their lives. What a strange feeling it is in this area, so sad to see but warming to see the community all coming together and helping each other. November 17 Kiss my A*** controller, you're boring me!!! Don't be discouraged.
It's often the last key in the bunch that opens the lock.
Its that time of the month again for the "controller" at work.....I'm bored even talking about him. This is a man that constantly puts my shift down....and undermines me! Though when you talk to him...."Hi pet", "Hi sweetheart"....not a nicer man you would meet! Boy I hate devious, two faced people who are "cowards" and don't have the courage to speak out!!! My own husband witnessed his rant personnally while working in the laundry. When someone told the controller that he was overheard, he squirmed and made up some story, blaming someone else. He was "upset" about being confronted and ran home to tell wifey. Wifey, (a perfect match for him!), said "contractors should get the whole f******g story before they say owt!!"....now my Buster knows the whole story, the undermining, the bullying, the backstabbing of his wife and others.....don't know how he stands back sometimes! Boring, boring, boring man that controller is....grow up, shut up, or at least come out of your little hole and have the courage to say things to my face!....There I feel ready for work now!!! November 14 Hello....happy weekend to one and all!Whooppppeeee dooo its Saturday! The weather has been rubbish but its still been a great day. I was planning on a day out shopping but Buster had to work....pressure washing our giant Continuous batch washer where I work. I was not at work but had a lie in until 9.30am....(well, why not!). Then it was just mundane chores but even mundane chores are a pleasure on a Saturday, (slight exaggeration there Val lass!). Had a run up to my mams, (when I say run, I mean run in the car.....not a fitness freak). Chatter with mam and dad then for shopping for supper tonight. The smell in here is wonderful. I'm making a potato, ham, leek and onion hot pot....also a massive Pork joint roast. Handy just to pick at over the weekend. Buster is back from work now and he was straight into the garage to install the kitchen units to store surplus pots, gadgets, plates from the kitchen! Looking good already! I'm just buzzing, looking forward to X Factor later on. Sorry I haven't been around much....seem to spend more time at Facebook these days as its so quick and easy. I know I'm friends on Facebook with some of you but others I would like to see there....like Mark for example, missing a lot of the crack!
November 06 Its the Weekend.....cook us a curry Buster! Expectant of greater things,
We try climbing - Higher And Higher; An effort that costs us much, Leaving us short of breath To find only The ground below is much prettier.
Another Friday, another curry made by Buster! I like it when he makes curry as it seems to make me redundant!....(well, until it comes to the washing up!). I'm sitting watching, (or semi-watching), a film on TV. Its raining and miserable outside, but doesn't mean it has to be inside! Didn't think I'd say this, but this week at work has been good! A lot of refurbishment is due to go on and we'll all be busy, but I think thats what I need....busy, busy! Oh, I love weekends and we only really appreciate them because we work so hard all week, (don't laugh!). Its been a nice week too as the man at work I told you about, (who had been on sick with depression) came back to work and settled in well. Something he said made me realise how lucky I am....he said "I hate weekends" because he is so lonely. I really hope he finds that special person soon...... November 02 Fun's over...just for now! Isn't it funny that no matter how S-L-O-W the weekend goes, its never long enough! The main thing is that we all enjoyed it and have stored a few more memories. I had a bad dream last night about Buster, won't go into details but he wasn't very nice. Thats the good thing about bad dreams, you feel sad when you wake up but wow the relief when its not true! Must be awful the other way around and we've all been there. Life is so short that we've just got to make the most of everything.....do things that you want to do, buy the things you want while you can afford it. Realise how lucky you are and appreciate what you have...not what you don't have. Its been a hard year for my mam and dad and proof to us all how things can change overnight. You know what, even back shift is going to be good for me today....I'm so relieved my dream wasn't true and I'm going to phone Buster now and tell him I'm a lucky girl!! ha ha. October 31 Happy Halloween!!!!
Happy Halloween Everyone! Luckily, no trick or treaters knocked on the door during X Factor! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!! xx October 30 Happy Weekend!
Just thought I'd pop in for a quick blog. Haven't been around here much all week, I've been on facebook daily though.....just because its so much quicker to see what everyone is up to. With the extra time saved we've been to the cinema more, (our front room) and the best restaurant in town!, (our kitchen). Its surprising how much time you save. I don't seem to have had anything exciting or different to say lately....when I do I will be back. I'm looking forward to a long weekend. I've taken back shift Friday off to spend with Buster and cook, (as usual). Been shopping this morning for all the ingredients to make Wok Chicken and Sticky pork.....favourites of ours from a local Bistro, hope it tastes as nice! October 23 Heres Sam.... The weekend is upon us, yeah!!! whooopppeeeee doo, so happy! Tonight has been great, a few chores, watched a soppy film while Buster tidied the garden and put the net on his Koi pond. Then we made homemade lasagne while waiting for our Asda online shopping to be delivered....so much simpler than the mad dash, trolley bashing, car crunching panic of a weekend supermarket shop. Then we had a bit of Internet shopping via Amazon! I fancied a herb pot for the kitchen window ledge, a rustic one with blackboard on the front to write the different herbs. Oh, says Buster.....while you're on there, whats the latest DVD releases? £53 later and we're done! Then I ordered a Bag puss that you can heat up in the microwave, (Bag puss Hotti!), I love bagpuss.....we've spent loads over the years trying to win a bagpuss via the Blackpool fairground "grab" machines, why didn't we buy a £11.99 bagpuss hotti sooner??
Here is a pic of me and "Sam". Sam was a dog we found on our bed at the Midlands hotel in Morcambe. Buster asked to buy him for £15, just for me! I thought it was sweet anyway.....the woman at reception didn't have a clue what he was on about when he said "I want to buy the dog in our room!"...apparently it was a new thing, with half the money going to Charity!.....anyway, I'll always look at Sam and think of our "romantic" night at Morcambe!....(Romantic was one way to describe it! wink wink) Buster has gone to bed already! I refuse to go to bed early on Friday, no matter how tired I am.....I don't work all week for that!!!! Oh no! ha ha. October 20 Back to work girl! Back to reality today for me....good old back shift! Its been a great week off, always is, (much better than work anyway). We had a great night at the Midlands Hotel in Morcambe. Its lovely inside, they've renovated it so well. The room was lovely, with gorgeous walk in shower/wet room and toilet that unfolds from a cupboard, (I think I already described this to you!). It was funny through night when Buster was wandering around the room muttering where is the ******* toilet? Ha ha....I knew he would, (its a mans thing)....he hadn't even had that much drink so he can't blame that. The meal was lovely, expensive, but lovely and its nice to treat yourself now and again. Yesterday was spent being quite lazy and moping about, and listening to that wind outside, I quite fancy another days moping around the house.
