I hate technology and all that it stands for!!

Ok, maybe going a bit OTT, but my computer is having a mad 'un and i can't make it right again :-(

For the past week i've not been able to log onto my profile because either i haven't got sufficient security rights, or a have a corrupt local profile. I've done numerous virus scans which have been clear and i've been messing around in the 'help' bit not having a clue what i'm reading about. I just want someone to put it right for me! I've lost everything on my computer and my internet settings at the moment and i can't save anything i do do on it now! Arrrggghhh!! I'm seriously about to have a Nikki from big brother moment pretty soon!

I spent a bit more of my birthday money today on a nice cardigan from topshop, it sure ain't gonna keep me warm but it's lovely. I'm now on the lookout for some purple shoes, preferably platforms. I've seen some nice ones from office which are a copy of a pair of YSL ones, with a 5 inch heel and 1 inch platform, but i'm worried about buying them off the internet in case i don't like them in real life. What i'd love is my zara shoes in purple, however Benidorms a logn way away now. I've seen some in Faith that will do should i not find my dream pair but i'll keep in hunting 'em down.


Started a new book about 10 mins ago called 'A girl for all seasons' by Camilla Morton. So far it's good, like a fashionistas bible (maybe she'll tell me where i can seek out some elusive purple platforms) with tips and ideas. Foreword from Manolo Blahnik too. Wooaaahhh!!

To end my blog i would like to wish my cousin Victoria happy birthday, she is 22 today and i hope she's had a fab day.

Adios!!

P.S If any computer boffins are reading this who can help with my computer problem please speak up, i may go mad otherwise.

P.P.S Likewise any fashion gurus who can find me some gorgeous pueple heels that won't make me look like a drag queen.

Yet again...

I woke up this morning thinking "oh my hair doesn't look too bad today, no need to wash it" and yet again it's looking slightly greasy. Do i ever learn!

I had a fabby birthday, got lots of monies, prezzies and cards. Woke up at like 6.30 on Saturday morning because i couldn't sleep! Managed to hold off waking chris up til 9 though. We sat in bed whilst i opened everything, and then we went shopping. I got a hat. That is it, even chris managed to do better than me by buying a shirt (very nice too!) We went to the football saturday afternoon/eveningish. They lost again. Then we went to Frankie and Bennys for a meal. I had a great day which was all the more special due to christopher being there. Funniest part of the weekend was when he said "it's not your birthday anymore, you can't tell me what to do" Mwahaha!

I thought my best friend had forgotten it was my birthday, she probs had tbh! She text me this morning saying she was a rubbish friend, bless her. She is forgiven though as i know she's got a lot on at the minute being a new mum and all.

Today i am going spending my birthday money in my dinner hour. I trip to Primark is a must! I also went to bingo last night with my mum, auntie and uncle. We won a total of £200 meaning we each got £50. I also got a massive cuddly bear that my auntie managed to blag for me. I sat him on the couch this morning in order to give my mum a fright when she gets up! Ha

2 days to go...

My hair looks a little greasy today, i should have washed it this morning.

Steve McLaren has been sacked. Whoop! I think the next manager should be foreign as there are no English managers good enough at the moment.

We're sat at work at the moment, me, Christine and Tracey with a website up that refreshes every 60 seconds trying to track a Nintendo Wii down. Christine wants to get her son one for christmas but she's having no luck.

Oh well

UPDATE: I found her one for normal price on hmv.co.uk, i am officially ace!

3 days to go...

Had my hair done today, i've gone darker and it looks ace. I'm pretty sure it will make Chris excitable when i see him on Friday :-)

We have also just lost to Croatia which means we don't qualify for Euro 2008. Steve McLaren must resign or be sacked as he is in no way fit to manage the England squad. The players too must take responsibility as only Crouch stood out tonight as being half decent. Shame he ended up, up front on his own with no support from his team mates. I am embarrassed to be an English football fan at the moment.

Strange going on's have been happening at the JJB today too. A press conference was scheduled for 2pm to unveil Steve Bruce as our new manager. The press were assembled, only for Brenda Spencer to come out and say that the appointment had been delayed due to a technical hitch between Steve and Birmingham City :-S

Apparantly it's only a hitch over an advance payment that Bruce recieved and there's questions over whether he's to pay it back or not. I hope it's resolved as i'd quite like a real manager to be shaperoning the team down to Arsenal at the weekend.

4 days to go...

I've seriously not been milking this birthday malarky as much as i should i feel. Still there's still some time left yet. Got paid today, but have to do my road tax tonight, it soon comes round.

Saw a hat in topshop today that i shall be getting with my birthday monies, tis getting extremely cold now so i'm going to have to wrap up warm. I also need something to wear saturday night for mine and christophers meal. I'm finally going to give my Zara shoes a debut, hope i don't fall over whilst carrying my meal back to the table!

On Saturday i am meeting up with Lauren at the football for a chat, not seen her for a while so it will be nice to catch up. I am not cheating on you Emily i swear. Ha ha!

And tomorrow i have Charlene and Mia visiting, really excited, although she will have to leave before England Croatia kicks off! I'll get to see her new car this time too, although i'm sure it will be no green machine!

Things that have got on my nerves today include:

1. Thick students picking cheques up. Cheques are given to students for help with their materials. All they have to do is sign a box next to their name on a sheet of paper. Simple? No!
Student: "Where do i sign?"
Me: "Next to your name?"
Student: "Here?"
Me: "No, thats isn't your name is it, next to yours?"
How bloody hard can it be!?

2. At work we are behind bullet proof glass like in a bank, so we have the little trays at the bottom of the glass with the slidy plastic thing. If one more person tries to put something on top of the plastic slidy thing and force it underneath i may well scream. There is blatently a tray there to drop things in, why won't they do it!?

5 days to go....

We've had a menu through for our christmas do today, it looks scrummy!

Starter - Vegetable, chive and thyme soup finished with baby leaf spinach and pouring cream served with warm bread.

Main course - Breast of turkey in an orange glaze with traditional savoury seasoning and chipolata specially selected fresh vegetables and potatoes.

Dessert - Chocolate, cinnamon and winter berry chocolate cup finished with praline served with fruit coulis.

I could actually eat all of that now, tis only 10.10am!

I've done a deal with Emily: She meets my mum when she's next up here, and her mum will make me lasange when i go down there :-)

Quite a food orientated blog this morning, think i'll go and get some breakfast.

Toodles.

The final countdown

To my birthday, 6 days and counting! I can also have my ugg boots too which have been taunting me from the top of Chris's wardrobe for the past couple of weeks.

Went to Fionas party on Friday, had a really good time and the most amazing meat and potato pie ever, and as i'm from Wigan, i AM the expert! Saturday we had lots of fun christmas shopping. I finally tracked down the candle in debenhams i wanted for chris's mum, and discovered that Lush has opened in Preston! The snow fairy will be there next weekend so i'm going to pop along and maybe get some snow fairy shower gel as they only sell it at Christmas.

Saturday night, we went for a nice meal at the carvery and then went back to mine for cuddling on the couch. We watched Lee Sharpes football hooligan hall of shame on Bravo which was really really good. Who knew the Polish were such hardened hooligans :-o We also watched Lee Evans, i spent the whole first 10 minutes saying he was crap and then ended up laughing away at him. I firmly take my comments back!

Today we should have been going back to Chris's to watch PNE v Hyde United, but by the time we got back to Preston we decided it was too cold so we snuggled up in bed all day :-) That is my kind of sunday!

So we've lost again...

What's new. Tottenham (who are also relegation fodder with us at the minute) beat us 4-0 at White Hart lane. We let Darren Bent score for goodness sake! Hope we get a new manager in place soon with Hutch being sacked, but Whelans bloody sunning himself in the Carribean at the moment *rollyeyes*

I've just been to deliver avon orders, lordy tis cold out there. If i was sensible i would have worn my new hate and scarf set but i'm not sensible in the slightest so i didn't :-) I'm so cold now i can barely type.

Went for a nice meal with Chris on Friday, was a complete surprise which was nice. We went to the carvery and stuffed our faces. The we did nothing the rest of the weekend, just relaxed. Next weekend it's Fionas birthday so there's a little party going on on Friday. Must get her a prezzie this week. The the weekend after tis my birthday, so i'm fully expecting to be treated like the Princess that i am ;-)

What's with the running?!

Just a little something that i've noticed, no matter which football ground in the country you go to, or what time you leave there is always people running outside afterwards. Why? Where do they have to go so quickly that it requires running?

Anyway, back to today. Wigan V Chelsea. They tonked Citeh 6-0 last week, so i wasn't very optimistic as i can't remember the last time we won tbh! We were shit to put it bluntly, and lost 2-0. I have never seen a team cheat/playact as much. Mario Melchiot was superb as usual, and Titus Bramble played really well, as did Valencia. The restwere shite though. Scharner should be dropped until he regains his form, as should Marcus Bent. And what is with Ryan Taylor not even making the bench! He's one of our best players by far!

We should have had a penalty about 3-4 minutes in, very blatant, and shortly afterwards i realised that we were playing 4-5-1. What the hell! Sends out the message to both players and fans that "actually we're a bit shit, and we're going to get mullered. Might as well not bother attacking" If this carries on as much as i like Hutchings he will have to go. The only worry is the shit that's about at the moment. Bolton appointed Gary Megson for gods sake!

The 5 man midfield seemed to disappear and Marcus Bent was the 1, enough said.

That Chelsea glow in the dark away kit is horrfic too, i was temporarily blinded for a few seconds after looking at it! The very best in highlighter chic!

The Sugababes are playing in Preston in April, i might actually want to go as i like the Sugababes, persuading Christopher might be another matter, especially at £26 a ticket!
