Randomness

Its official I am ADDICTED to amazon.co.uk!! I have bought so many DVD’s on it lately its not funny! I bought Sopranos (all seasons cos I didn’t watch it when it was on TV) And after Christmas, I bought another watch when it was the LAST thing I needed!! And with the sterling price you really notice the difference even with the delivery cost! Should I feel guilty that I’d rather buy on line than go to, for example zavvi? But seriously why pay over €100 for something you can get online for €50 odd?!

This year I have made a promise to myself that  I am NOT going anywhere I’ve already been so no Prague, no Sofia, no NYC, no London for me I know its a silly resolution but hey!

Can’t believe it Sunday afternoon – how come the weekend goes by so fast?! For those of you waiting for lost to be back tonight, enjoy it!! I couldn’t wait til tonight and I’ve already watched it

Off to walk the dog, enjoy your Sunday!!

Song of the day: Chad Kroeger – Hero

Are we there yet?!

Seriously how much longer is January going to last?? is it just me or does it seem a bit never ending? Ah i guess i shouldn’t be wishing my life away but seriously it does seem never ending and pay day to me feels like its NEVER gonna come!!! Bleaghhhhh

OK little rant over on to more nicer things!

Firstly: Lost was back in the US last night and I am being very bould and am downloading it now – not waiting for Sky to show it Can’t WAIT to see it!!

Secondly: My holiday in September is going to be great! Made a slight change to it yesterday we’re now going to be spending 2 nights in Washington rather than NYC. Seriously its going to be amazing, 9 nights in Orlando, then flying to Vegas for 3 nights and then finally back to Washington for 2 nights I CANNOT WAIT!! I really sound like I’m wishing my life away.

I had an excuse for not blogging more often – until Xmas that was – the screen on my laptop cracked and I could hardly see much on it but I got a great laptop as a Xmas present – Dell XPS M1330 and I’m loving it (as much as you can love a computer) seriously its fantastic!

Oh I am now permanent in my job as of yesterday whoo!! Doesn’t change anything much except more benefits like sick pay/pension that I didn’t have access to before…

Anyway gonna head back to my TV and let Lost & House use up all of my broadband speed

2009

Belated happy new year!! Can’t believe the last time i wrote anything on this was Halloween! Where the hell did the time go? Haven’t a clue!

I’ve just had a lovely DVD & Duvet day, well half day I was in work this morning but I took a half day. I watched 27 dresses, Mamma mia and about to watch Rent.

I have recorded the Obama inauguration.

Tomorrow my probation period at work is up, really really can’t believe that I started there 6 months ago!! Things were so different this time last year. This time last year I was going to be travelling with work while waiting for my redundant. You know when I think about it I can’t actually believe that I used to stand up in front of people and give presentations and train them on systems, I really can’t. In work I was given a little project by my TL’s boss to show what I do when I get new claims (for those of you who don’t already know I’m a claims handler in an insurance company). I done a powerpoint presentation and my manager was really impressed by it that she passed it on to the senior manager on my floor and he was so impressed by it that he sent it around the other managers and it might be going into the new starter training.. God that sounds like I’m bragging I swear I’m not. Anyhow the point of this at our team meeting last week my manager asked me to present it. We were brought into the big boardroom (for those of you in worked in the big x imagine the big room where we had induction !) and when we got there another team were also there.  I got really really nervous ,started to sweat and my hands were shaken. Do you know what though? My panicking was for NOTHING, we ran out of time at the meeting and I didn’t have to do it but I might have to do it this week instead and i’m terrified!

ooh booking my holiday this week whoo. more on that tomorrow

Song of the month (ha!) Jeff Buckley – Hallelujah
