19.45pm
Havn't blogged in over 2 weeks as the pc conked out on us just before we went to the Lakes!
The damn thing just wouldnt boot up but after a lot of time on the fone to the warranty dept and nearly thumpin the jumped up little twat in Comet who wouldn't accept that we WERE right and he WAS wrong!! (angelic smile).
Wont go into the boring details coz I'll be here ages.
But we did have a cracking time in the Lakes. I even managed to climb up Catbells....the small fell overlooking Derwent Water in Keswick. My back started playing up halfway to the top but after resting halfway up, I'm glad we carried on coz the view from the top was amazing.
We did most of the lakes in just 4 days and must have walked about 10 miles each day.
The site was absolutely gorgeous. I'll post some piccies later on when I've added them to the drivers.
I'm gonna try n add this blog to my Facebook profile. There's an application to link to this page so I'll give that a whirl as well.

Last of the Summer Wine
7pm
Now don't be fooled by the heading! I've not jumped on the wagon just yet.
I was sat at home again bored out of my tiny head when John told me he
wasn't working today and asked if I fancied a drive out to cure the
deep throat thrombosis that was settling into ever fibre of my being!!!!!!
Of course I said yes so, off we set, map in hand.
While he drove I scoured the area for somewhere to go n decided we'd pop
up to Holmfirth in Yaaaaarkshire where Last of the Summer Wine was filmed.
It's quite a drive from 'Bowton' and took us just over one hour to get there.
I'd heard of a theatre in Holmfirth called 'CragRats' which has a brasserie
attached to it and thankfully it was signposted in the middle of this quaint and
rather unusual hamlet town. We had our lunch there before we decided to park
up outside Nora Batty's house. I got out the car and wrinkled my tights around my
ankles to feel like one of the locals!
I have to say though, I was a bit dissapointed that the place is now a guest house.
It also has a massive sign outside saying 'Summer Wine Experience' and really
could do with a lick of paint. We had a lovely walk around the tiny town but the
streets are all uphill and located in such a way that it made it hard for me to walk
up and see the gorgeous old houses dotted along the hillside.
It started spitting a little (its spitting...everybody in) so we went for a brew in
Sids Cafe which was one of the focal points of the series where Compo and crew
would meet daily. We actually decided that at some point, we would go back to
Holmfirth and probably stay there for a couple of nights as it's a really lovely place
with lots to do if the weathers fine and my backs better...........
......speaking of which
I've got my 1st appointment with the physio on April 3rd. Looking forward to
be being prodded, poked n pulled in every direction.
As for Rosemary Conley!!!!
I've put 'ANOTHER' 2lbs on!!!! Cant blame anyone but myself obviously but
then again all my shoes are too big now but who cares if I've lost weight off my feet....
I cant wear a nice pair of Jimmy Choos on my glutius maximus or jelly belly!!

Boring
12.45pm
Still off work with my bad back. I have to say, I couldnt
NOT work on a regular basis......the boredom is killing me.
I can only do so much housework/cooking/walking the dog etc etc
before it becomes another painful & tedious task.
Mind you....I do have next week to look forward to I suppose.
5 days in the Lake District with the family and Mylo.....CANT
F***IN WAIT.
I'm off now to prepare tonights tea....steamed salmon with sweet ginger
served with oven roasted vegetable cous cous.
If it wasnt for the net, they'd be having pot noodle on toast!!!!

2lbs on
11.55pm
Not done much these past few days.
Went to my slimming class tonight n hey-ho...put on 2 lbs!!! :-(.
Not too surprising really seeing as I've been poorly ill n done
FUK ALL for about 3 weeks!!!!!
I can easily got those 2 off n more besides this week if I put
my mind to it.
Still having bad spasms in my back and the exercises are working
a little but I was stood doing the dishes earlier today n it went again.
I had to very slowly ease myself back into the front room by holding
onto everything in sight n grunting. Mylo was looking at me like I
was a woman possessed.
Lets hope everythings better by the time we go to the Lakes

Rename me SickNote!!!!
21.45pm
Forgot to add on my last post.
Went back to see the quack today coz mi backs still playin up.
She's placed me on the sick for another fortnight!!!!
Thats gonna take me right up until the 1st week of the
Easter holidays which we have booked off anyway for our
jaunt to the Lake District!
Not too sure if we're gonna beable to walk up all the fells we
were intending to but I'm gonna give um a bloody good go.
Shes took me off the Diazys coz they were just totally zonking me out.
Still no referal to the physio yet but Dr Mercer gave me some good
exercises to do at home and I'm gonna try n go swimming a few times
a week to ease the pain.
Now as some of ya may know, I am a very deep sleeper at the best of times
and I have VERY VIVID dreams but lately, they've been unreal.
Wont go into much detail but I could write a short book I'm sure.
It takes me ages to come round too, so if someone tries to wake me, I come
out with some mad shit.
John woke me today after I'd dozed on the sofa n asked me why I was
asleep with my specs on and I woke up n said......
"SO I CAN SEE MY DREAMS BETTER"
ROFLMFAOOOOOOOOOO

Camerons Birthday n Mums Day
21.00pm
Yesterday was, of course, mothers day but it was also Camerons 10th Birthday!
Was a bit odd for me waking up as he spent the night with his dad, seeing as
they were going to the Bolton V Liverpool match and it was an early kick-off.
Bolton lost 3-1 but Cameron wasn't too upset with it being his special day.
John and I bought him a R4 cartridge for his Nintendo DS. This is a special
gadget that you attach to the DS and your PC at the same time and from there
you can download up to '1000' games on to your DS......A lot cheaper than paying
up to £30 a time for each individual game.
He also got a few more gitfs from his dads side and my relatives but he mostly got money, totalling
£125!!! He says he's gonna save up for a Nintendo WII!!!
As for mothers day, Cameron got me a lovely magnolia tree for the back garden
and Wayne gave me money to spend as I wish. Later on we all went for a Chinese Buffet.
One of those 'eat all ya can get ups'.
At the end of the meal the staff dimmed all the lights, cranked the music up n played
HAPPY BIRTHDAY and presented him with a lil birthday cake! His face was a picture!
We got home and on the doorstep was Bev with her girls...Meggy n Shannon with more
pressies. We had more birthday cake....a choccy fudge one. Took some pics
but Ive not uploaded um yet.
All in all a nice day
