Random Ramble

I've been a bit busy for a couple of day socialising no less. Not something I tend to do much of usually but like buses, they often all come together.

Despite the boss being away, I am working hard to get some auditing done so apart from the odd few minutes break here and there, I'm not blogging as much as I could. I so love my work!

I had already planned a night out with a couple of good friends last night to go out for an Indian - cheap night, £8.50 for a 3 course meal. Then Mick phoned me at work to tell me that we had all been invited over to a neighbours as they were having a bit of a party for their son in the garden. So that was last night boked up!

We went over the road to find a huge spread on the table, all sorts of yummy things, except knowing I was also having an Indian later meant I had to take care not to each much. I was careful but then asked if I could put a plate up to take home and have for my lunch the next day.
The weather wasn't so good. Living on the coast means that some days while the whole of the UK is basking in glorious sunshine, we are cloaked in sea fret.

A great time ws had by all apparently as I left at 6.30 to go and stuff my face some more. And stuff it I did!

The three of us all worked together a few years ago and we like to meet up once a month or so to have a good old natter, bitch and laugh. One of the girls had just returned from a very posh cruise around the Meditterranean so we listened to her stories of that and grumbled at the miserable waitor.

I was beginning to feel the start of a cold as the night wore on, sore throat, sniffles etc so I took a half dose of Night Nurse and went to bed a little later than my norm. Of course when my alarm went off at 6am I could barely open my eyes. Today I feel I'm definitely getting a cold. Still only today at work and then the weekend.

I'm driving down to Ripon with the boys and my auntie tomorrow to meet up with my Dad and Sylvia for lunch. It's a halfway place and quite nice so we will exchange pleasantries and listen to stories of Wonderful Debbie and Paul (It's a looong story and trust me you don't want to hear it) until Alexander gets bored and starts being a pain and then I can escape back up the A1 and home. We do this a couple of times a year. I haven't been to my Dad's house in years. It's easier to do this and means only a half day out rather than one long tiring one.

and finally (and this is a secret, so don't tell anyone else as no-one is supposed to know yet. My hubby found out yesterday that he got another Distinction, this time for his Masters degree in Health & Safety! It can't be announced officially until all the others have been marked but having a surname beginning with 'A' has it's advantages! A small, quiet celebration is being had tonight, so ssshhhhhhhhhhhh!).

Ok I feel I have probably bored you into oblivion. I'm so sorry and I promise to come up with something more interesting tomorrow.

15 sleeps, 2 bin days and an eyelash tint until I can lurk in Justines back yard!
