Well, its nearly here!!

Well, its the weekend of may party, and I have to admit that I am writing this in an attempt to pass time until people start arriving as I am now very excited, and can't wait till tomorrow for the party, although apparently I can't open any cards or pressies until Monday!!
People are traveling from all over as we speak, well, Liverpool, Brum and tomorrow Leeds, but its really nice to know that my friends want to make the effort.
Speaking of effort, can I just say in advance, a big thankyou to everyone who is pandering to my whim and coming in 80's fancy dress, which I have to say, appears to be the majority!! (although I do suspect that peoples willingness has only a little bit to do with me and that they are all just thrilled to have the legitimate opportunity to dress like twats! So far we have, Prince, Billy Idol, The Ghostbusters, She Ra, Adam Ant, Boy George, a possible Freddie Mercury and a whole gaggle of 80's fashion kings and queens, so should be a laugh.
Decs are also purchased, Mr. Fesk insisted on purchasing a helium balloon kit for decorating the party room (which he is in charge of, with the help of Miss C) which I kind of know is more for him than me, and I am wondering how much of the helium will make it in to the balloons???
We are thinking of catching the bus into town tomorrow, which if you were on your own would be scary, but seeing as there will be a few of us should just be a good start to what promises to be an excellent evening.
As you can probably tell, the party is somewhat overshadowing the gruesome fact that I will be 30 on Monday, something which I am sure you will have gathered I have been dreading, but there is still 2 more nights of drinking before this event happens, and I am trying to push it to the back of my mind. Weird though, I will be 30, a grown up woman,and yet I still feel like I am 16 half of the time, and my mum still tells me off for saying bloody.
Thought for the day: Wish it was tomorrow - I can't wait.

Long time no ramble

Well, haven't said hello for a while as firstly the computer broke, and then it had to be taken apart as we have been decorating. We now have a proper study which looks great, just finished it now. Has taken a bit longer than intended, as we are both on holiday we thought we would be out cruising the Yorkshire dales, but no, although there is always tomorrow.....
Quite a lot been going on since last wrote, finally went to the doctors with my back, turns out I have torn the muscle (ouch) so he has given me some very strong pain killers which I took yesterday and which totally spaced me out - don't think I will be touching them and alcohol in the same 24 hours.
Went to a wedding of some friends of Mr. Fesks, and nearly got locked in the registry office for the weekend, as we were busting for the loo after the ceremony and when we came out all the doors had been locked, this of course had nothing to do with the fact that we had misread the invite and arrived at 1 instead of 3, so then had to spend the next 2 hours in the pub.
Can't really think of anything else that has happened, short term memory must be going now that I am about to turn the corner into the next decade.... Oh well, as someone pointed out to me, your only as old as the man you feel, so that has knocked 4 years off!!
Went into town with Miss C on Monday, where we bought the finishing touches to out party outfits before gorging ourselves at the Royal Oak on steak and ale pie, before returning to my house to practice putting on our 80's make up ad in my case having a full dress rehearsal.
Plans for the weekend are probably going to involve a lot of drink, I think turning 30 deserves at least 4 nights of celebration. Hopefully going out with Mr fesk tonight to celebrate still being in my 20's, then tomorrow we are over at friends for their housewarming. Saturday friends from uni are arriving for party, so think there will be drinking at home with a possible pre party rendevous at Toffs. Sun night is party night, venue and disco all sorted and double checked, and cheap tickets for Toffs obtained, with hopefully a brief stop off at Reflex to do justice to all our outfits. Am starting to get excited now, everyone has outfits sorted and seems to be really looking forward to it, in fact apparently according to miss C invites are in hot demand!!!!
Anyway, going now - to hoover up mess caused by decorating.
Thought for the day: Wish I had bothered to decorate this room sooner, it looks fantastic.

In memory of Tess

Tess is a little whippet cross who belonged to my friends H & J, she was 12 years old.
unfortunately at about 5.30 this morning she passed away.
Had to meet H down at the vets as unfortunately J was away in Newcastle, I know that they will miss her a lot, as will Stevie, their other dog.
Although one good thing has come out of it, in that H and I haven't really spoken in quite some time, for various reasons, but this proved that no matter what we will always be there for each other when needed, and that hopefully we can try and put the past few months behind us.
Also on a lighter note, have just had another devastating revelation - I am too old to audition for HollyOaks - on the pull!!! I can't believe it, it is only open to 16 - 24 year olds. Think that I may have finally reached point in my life where I will have to stop watching it (Mr. fesk will be pleased) as not only am I gutted that I am too old to be in it, but there really isn't much appeal in watching kids on the telly (am not bitter at all).
Thought for the day: Think things always happen for a reason, even when they are not very nice.

Feeling pathetic!!

Back still hurting!! Bruising to ribs still large and black.
Mum and dad moved yesterday, spent most of day getting in way as couldn't really help, but made them tea and took it over, so still have best daughter (well only really) badge!
Don't really know what to do with myself, is weird really, am off sick but not actually sick so getting bored, but can't do anything due to limited mobility, so want to go out, but then you have the dilemma of being seen out when your off sick...... Actually want to go back to work soon, as after thurs have 12 days off anyway, so if I don't go back I will have been off ages. I plan to drink the whole 12 days - a mega send off to my twenties!!!
Thinking about putting the final touches to my outfit with a Sabrina (boyz, boyz, boyz) wig!!! Mr. Fesk's outfit has arrived today, think we may have to have a dress rehearsal when he gets in!!! You know someone must love you when they are willing to make themselves look that much of a twat for you!!!! (only joking, he is gonna look hilarious).
Thought for the day: Wonder what happened to Craig from BROS (yes I have been watching VH1).

My old bones

Went round to my mum and dads new house on Friday, they move today but we got permission to go in and clean it as it has been empty 3 years.
Anyway, long story short, I was designated to clean kitchen;whilst cleaning the window clambered on to the work top (oblivious to the fact it was just one square piece joined onto the sink, and obviously did not have any appliances under it to help give strength to the 3 screws holding it up!!!!). Needless to stay after about 15 mins of my slight (not) frame clambering about on it, the whole thing gave way, and landed on the floor with me not long after it!! Banged my head a cracker on the way down, had a nice bump to show for it - but apart from a scratch on my leg nothing else. My mum and dad came running at my girlie scream and my dad proceeded to ask me if anything was wrong with me, to which I replied - 'yes, I'm too fat to climb on the worktop'!!! Which as well as being true was quite funny I thought!!
Anyway, unfortunately that was not the end of the matter, as the next two days have revealed other more painful injuries such as a large bruise on my rib cage and a very painful back, so am now off sick!! Actually am walking around like the old woman I will be in two weeks time!! Planning to go over to mum and dads today to say bye to house, obviously will not be able to help with move so just plan to hang around and get in the way.
My main duty of the day is to give shelter to our decrepit dog, who will def just get in the way of the move. My charming brother dropped him off this morning and when I said I would be over in a bit, he said 'I thought you were looking after the dog', and I said 'did he expect me just to sit and watch him all day', and he said that 'he presumed so as he had dropped him off at the decrepit old dogs home'!!!!! Cheeky bleeder, obviously referring to my impending 30 years!!! Party outfits are coming along nicely, and hopefully enough people seem to be making the effort to ensure that I will not look like a billy.
Thought for the day: I wonder if my kind thoughtful man (who has been lovely to me while I have bitched and moaned at my bad back all weekend) will be bothered that my dog, despite having his bed brought with him, appears to have set up camp in the spare room on his rucksack???

A damp pussy

My pussy cat is currently sat on the window sill beside me, looking outside wistfully, as she won't go outside as she doesn't like to get damp, so instead she keeps pestering me for food every time I move.
Just got a back from town after meeting Miss C and Mrs C for lunch, shopping and coffee. Purchased a few finishing touches for that party outfit, apparently one of our friends is coming in silver bat wing dress that her sister actually has kept from the 80's so that should b quite amusing.
Also my VISA was feeling very generous today and bought me 3 tops and a denim mini skirt.
Hope my mum doesn't read this, even though I left home ages ago she still feels my finances are her resonsibility o keep tabs of.
My mum and dad are moving from our family home on thurs (if all goes according to plan) so we went round last night as they had invited the neighbor's for farewell drinks. It was a nice evening, even though we did stand on lots of snails on the way home (by accident I hasten to add). Will be quite sad when they move, as they have lived there 34 years, so I have lived there all my life, and it was a really nice street to grow up in as all the neighbor's where close and we used to have street parties every year and stuff.
Thought for the day: I wonder what the people buying my home are like?

Nervous tension

Feeling a bit anxious this week, although hopefully this feeling will have been replaced by one of elation by the end of the week - all will be revealed later, don't feel like discussing right now.
Well, what have I been up to - working really, at least I have 4 whole nights of sleeping in my bed at night to look forward to now, yipee.
Being 30 is getting too close for comfort, although it is quite amusing discussing outfits. J has booked her Boy George outfit, which should be quality, and I am meeting friends in town tomorrow to go shopping for blue mascara and eyeliner and some frosted pink lip stick, and am also hoping that Superdrug still sell that really cheapy wet look gel with glitter in it. My Ra Ra skirt is being made as we speak (big thanks to Miss C) , and Mr Fesk is still adamant he will be attending as a woman!! So all coming together nicely really, just need to go in one night this week and sort out the catering - yes there will be food!!! Have even got half price tickets for 20 after the party is finished. Wonder if anyone will get drunk?
Went to Toffs on fri, and was much reassured to find it has not changed drastically, and has kept its charm, in fact the only really difference appeared to be the lack of the smell of vomit, which whilst adding to its charm since I have been going (for 15 years!!!!) I feel I can cope without it. So was pleased to find that everyone coming to stay for my birthday will still get to experience Toffs in all its glory, and not some ponced up version. Also ate in BoBo Lobo, was very nice, will definitely be going again.
Thought for the day: Must learn to take life as it comes and not worry so much about things which are out of my control.

Black Sambuca

Nights again .... Oh well, at least I'm only doing two, I'm off after tonight.
Was off at the weekend, and went over to Leeds for a girlie night out with my friends who live there. Did a couple of nice bars and then went to the Atrium. My friend who was the one who introduced me to Sambuca many moons ago, surpassed herself and introduced me to black sambuca - nice!! Had a boogie, then home, after battling the streets (luckily we had pre booked our taxi). Just to reassure anyone who might be interested (obviously I am not anymore) the men in Leeds are just as twatty as the ones in York - whilst stood waiting for our taxi and wondering about chips some fine specimen (he wasn't) who looked about 12 came over and asked if he could put his penis in us. As chat up lines go I did feel the need to ask him if this had actually ever worked, and then point out to the sad twat that it probably never would!!! Also that, for me personally, I like to reserve that privilege for men who are actually older than I could have given birth to - obviosley I like a toy boy, but even I have limits!!!
Went to the seaside the next day once I got home from Leeds and Mr. Fesk recovered from his 'retro' night in Ziggies. Was a lovely day, but I just wish there weren't so many dog ruff people there - when we got out of the car a family were changing their babies nappy on the car park floor (and call me cynical, but I suspect that the nappy never made it anywhere near a bin!!
Thought for the day: I wonder what my mum is cooking me for tea tonight??
