sevenhelz at 12:54am on 28/01/2006today i rang my sister to talk about crumpets. this seemed to amuse her, which is probably good.
other things that have happened this week (read: random time period that i can remember):
getting rid of lots of steve's ex-gf's stuff from his bedroom. i am now tempted to steal some of her boots and post them to my sister, but hey. we also didn't look under the bed. i think he's scared of the beasties roaming around under there. they might eat his head. oh, and coincidentally, a box of random stuff that belongs neither to myself nor steve has turned up in his kitchen, creating a mild lack of space. hopefully this will be rectified soon.
costume party! with the theme of, um, school. at james and leanne's. currently going on, in fact... which i did not attend due to...
work! actually wanting me in most of the week, if i'd wanted the overtime. i agreed to do today about a week ago, given that i'm having today off for a concert... joanne and anita are also having tomorrow off... we don't know who's covering ;) hope it's dave, i might pop in for a minute or two. i kinda miss him.
work, incidentally, is much more bearable - even close to fun sometimes - now that i'm mostly on the secondary till. i do more varied jobs, from date checking to restocking, cleaning and just generally keeping things in order. oh, and glaring at people, or kicking them out, or trying to talk to them like humans in case that changes their minds about being little arseoles.
on that note, i've come to the conclusion that not a day can go by in our work without something weird/unpleasant happening. today's was mild; a bunch of young kids came in, we were a little wary, but we talked to them and i wandered around in a not-following-them kind of way, and when i looked outside it seemed they were with two older kids - one of whom lives near me, who used to be an alright girl, and the other a lad who has given me and dave trouble a few times. thankfully he didn't come in at all, so one less thing for us to stress about; the girl had said something to jo about being followed by some bloke. in which case, go home. duh. there were enough of them around for it not really to be a problem anyway, i think. not sure whether to believe her... weird though.
also, it was euromillions day again, and fridays have been getting ever more hectic since all these rollovers began. this week you could have won £100million. last week was estimated about the same; the week before, 85m, then 75m, then 60-odd... you get the picture. anyway more and more people have been in for lucky dips or whatever, asking what the rules are and spending hella lots. it used to be we'd maybe sell £100 of euromil. every week... today we took £1200 in that alone. mental. i couldn't leave my till for three and a half hours. thankfully there wasn't much else to do, it's the big stock-take on monday so they don't want anything moving between shop front and back. i could've cleaned... but meh.
anyway for those who switched off, work talk over.
umm. what else?
we went out last saturday (notice how i say we all the time to mean me and steve? hmm) and met up with phil, andrea, jemma (yay!) and duppi... oow, was that everyone? there were supposed to be more :S but anyway was v fun indeedy :) and we played pool and stuffs. i got just a little hugely drunk... had hangover on sunday, the first time i've had such a headache... but hey, twas still great night :) then on weds we had said we would meet up with the same folk again, plus laura, josh, wittle etc. we went for about an hour in the end, it would've been longer but for traffic and nathan and such. anyway we said our hellos and how are yous, played a bit of pool and were off without drinking, v sensible :) didn't see phil or jemma this time but the timings were confused by josh about two days earlier. frankly if it had been supposed to be food all along i might not have gone, so. had a nice night playing with little'un. we actually stayed at steve's mum's for a bit, which was more fun than i expected - think i was just more relaxed. also, she fed us - she actually offered me tea, which could be significant. as significant as we make it i suppose. meh. we explained gluten intolerance as shortly as possible, i had a few veggies and stuff, then after we left i had a nice pizza :) thankyou (cass) for the bases by the way, i think i might order some more :) as that was the last one
i'm having trouble with food at the moment... after the throwing up incident me and mum went to see the new doctor at bethany medical centre (our doctor's shiny place :)), her name is dr penny hyde and she actually listened to what i was saying about food and stomach badness and stuffs, and asked pertinant questions, and it was okay... she gave me a prescription for antaccids, said don't change my diet (as in, go back on wheat) just yet, just try this and see what happens... i think i'm better on them, but not sure. i still get halfway through a meal and feel a bit ill; bloated, full, slightly nauseous. i'm thinking i'd like to get back into cooking - a lot of the time now it feels like too much effort and too much time, but when i was at college i found time to plan my meals and even do stuff like brownie and flapjack... admittedly i wasn't getting much sleep some of this time, but hey, cooking relaxes me. sometimes. umm. anyway, the point is, i'd like to get back to the point where i enjoy cooking, and it's an automatic thing where i think, oh i'd better do some tomato today so i can have pizza later, or there's something quick for tomorrow... and i'd like to have brownies again :) this means buying cooking chocolate, oh noes...
so my trouble really has been that gluten free pizza bases, crumpets etc are expensive, so i feel bad about spending lots on them... but my body actually feels better when i cook myself and know what's in it, than when i eat out (even if i know i've never had problems at a certain place before). this links to the wednesday scenario - i'm not keen on eating out at the moment; although i like the idea, the reality tends to leave me feeling ill and disappointed, as well as annoyed at my body.
many things make me annoyed at my body at the moment. i think i'm getting clumsier - i mean, i know i handle a lot of money at work, so obviously i'm going to drop it every now and again, but you'd think i would get better at it... piano, i am getting better at, but my fingers aren't strong enough... and other things...
wow this is a long post.
see what happens when i let thoughts build up?
hehe
should i stretch this baby out, or end it here?
how about now?
um... never mind, i'll stop being a prick now. i want pretty clothes. can i take a quick opinion poll here? who thinks it's okay to ask steve to buy me pretty clothes for valentine's day, provided of course that i buy him some luxury he really wants too?
also, am hugely tempted by lush stuff... it's on my mental list of luxury items, things i shouldn't really buy too often... but so are pizza bases and chocolate ;) we've run out of the really nice bath ballistics we got though, the butterballs and the honey ones... we still have some gorgeous soap, but i don't want to run out of that! how will everything smell nice if i don't use lovely honey soap? (we also have angel's delight and sea vegetable, which smells more pleasant than it sounds). so basically, money is a minor issue at the moment, which is starting to work itself up in my head as some huge monster. which is maybe not so unhealthy given that i am supposed to be saving this year, both for uni and my trip to the states... as to that, well, i'm giving them a wad of cash tomorrow that should dent the figure a little. woot. thinking of asking how much i would have to give them each week from now till the cut off to get the full amount sorted... think it might scare me though.
ooh, how nice is this? lyndene and alec, though no blood relations of mine, are thinking about doing a lil quiz thing as a fundraiser for me :) bless their little cotton socks. or large cotton socks, i'm in no position to know.
must remember to ask fizz about speaking to cass, tomorrow.
um. for those of you who don't care, read this.
hugs and sweet, sweet, honey-smellin' love.
but not for you.
