Ransom demand
Im still feelin like shite. Bunged up to the eyeballs...literally. Gawd knows how many lemsips and paracetamol I've taken this week. On a good note though I'm sleeping like a baby but feeling tired at work which isnt good as I'm staring at a pc screen all day and now my eyes are all bloodshot. Everyone thinks its coz Im a down n out inkoholik which I am but I havnt had a drink all week so its ner-ner to them.
It seems we have a thief in the office as well coz some thievin bugger STOLE my chicken and stuffing butty when I went for a wee. It was only half a butty coz I didnt eat the other half so I brought it back down n left it on my desk then forgot about it. We are not allowed to eat at our desks and when Busy Lizzie said she was hungry I very kindly offered my half a butty. It was then that I noticed the butty was nowhere to be seen so I looked in my drawer thinking I had put it there. It wasnt there so I looked in my bag. Again the said butty wasnt there. It was at this point that I thought maybe, I was going insane and had taken too many paracetamols due to my cold. I looked around at the gruesome twosome, Amanda and Sarah but they were too busy on calls to notice the look of distress on my face. I asked Busy Lizzie if she had seen my butty but she looked at like I was a woman possessed!!!! By this time I was getting more frustrated at the lack of responce from my colleagues. Sarah had, by now, turned her fone off and was doing admin work and asked what the problem was. I asked her if she had stolen my butty and she said, in a very stern voice "why the fuk would I steal ya butty". I then looked at Manda and she was trying very hard not to laugh! She swears blind it wasnt her! I then decided that if I took a short walk to wherever and back, it would reappear, so, off I went for a chat with whoever would listen about my chicken and stuffing butty. On my return to my desk, I found a ransom note. Whoever the thief was was now demanding me pay them £50,000 for the return of the butty!!!!
I was devastated as I didnt have 50p let alone £50,000. I even asked all the managers if they knew who the buttynapper was but all they said was "havnt you got work to do"!! BAH HUMBUGS!!! By this time, utter devastation was setting in so much I needed the loo. On my return I noticed Busy Lizzie sit down rather hurriedly. When I got back to my desk, imagine my sheer delight when I saw my butty, on my desk, as if nothing had happened. I still have no idea who nicked my butty. I even put a status profile on facebook asking for the offender/offenders to make themselves known but to no avail!!!! We shall see what tomorrow brings.
Ive managed to book tickets for this years Christmas production at The Octagon Theatre in Bolton. Its usually always a Roald Dahl production and this years is Danny, The Champion of The World. Now, I havnt read the book but both John and Cameron have but I have to admit that I really wanted to go to see The Wizard of Oz at the Lowry Theatre at Salford Quays which is featuring Lorna Luft (who is the daughter of Judy Garland) as the wicked witch. Of course, I was outnumbered as I thought I would be and I'm glad to say that we have tickets for Christmas Eve!!! I thought they would be booked up way in advance so we were lucky enough to get some of the last remaining tickets. Summat to look forward to.
I am also on a quest.....
.....My quest is to buy my outfit for the Christmas party for £20 or under. Im wanting a nice pencil skirt, matching top, preferably strapless, a bolero jacket cum cardy, the type that just lies on ya shoulders and shoes to match. I intend to buy said outfit from charity shops. This has had mixed reaction from friends and family as they know how fussy I am but Im determined to stick to my quest so, this coming saturday while the lads are at the match, I shall scour the charity shops of Farnworth and Bolton in search of my £20 party outfit!

Mindless knife crime
On the 10th October, I wrote about a young woman, from my hometown...Farnworth...who had been stabbed to death in her home. She was the 7th victim of knife crime in the town and the 4th death caused by said crime in the last 18 months. Little did I know that exactly 4 weeks later, I would, once again, write an entry on yet another mindless killing of a young and beautiful girl, stabbed to death in her home and my hometown. Im trying to find reason behind what the hell is happening today...im hitting a brick wall as I'm sure we all are. Amyleigh Barnes was 19 yrs old...an aspiring model and actress on the brink of a wonderful career....how can some uncaring, random, thoughtless, selfish bastard just take her life the way he did? Im trying to bring my children up in this town to be good law abiding citizens. I grew up in Farnworth and Im proud of my roots. Why should my pride be tainted this way??? If i wasnt already feeling pissed off as it is.....this happens and knocks me back down again.
So to the scum who have murdered these 2 beautiful girls and to Andrew Hollands and Keith Platts killers....i hope you fukin rot in hell!!!!!!

And I forgot to add....
......that we heard a very strange sound coming from the living room last night. It sounded like mice running around in the attic but of course, with it coming from downstairs, we knew it wasnt. We always close the living room door when we go to bed coz we dont want Mylo having the run of the house. We called for Mylo who came into the bedroom and went soundly to sleep.
It wasnt until this morning that we found out where the noise had been coming from. Mylo had somehow managed to get into the living room and up onto the sofa. Its a leather sofa and we havnt had it long. The scruffy twat had scratched holy fookin hell out of one of the cushions!!!!
We didnt worry too much as we have cover insurance on both the sofas for pet scratches but we've noticed that if we treat scratches as soon as possible they tend to 'mend' very quickly.
John put some leather care cream on and, touch wood, it seems to be doin the trick!
I'm gonna put a bloody lock on the door so he cant get when we're at work or alseep.

Veggies
Well the bloating has gone down a lot!!! Feel tons better. I didnt buy the detox sachets. £19.99 for a weeks course? I dont think so!!!! Ive been eating mainly salads, veggies, nuts and seeds and kept off ALL carbs. I dont weight myself anymore. It only pisses me off if I dont see a loss so I just go by how my clothes fit me. Its easier doing a short term weight loss like this when I'm off work. If I'm sat at my desk Im forever munching on whatevers goin round...toffees, crisps, choccies and I must drink about 5 cups of coffee every day. Im making a big pot of veg soup everyday when I wake up and having a bowlful every couple of hours then a meal at night with John and Cameron but I just have the salad/veg with chicken or fish.
I went to Asda last night and picked up a skeleton outfit for Cameron to wear to the Halloween Party at the cricket club this friday. Im undecided whether to go as a scary witch or vamp myself!! Piccies shall be posted here on saturday.
