Wednesday Already!

Hello!

Well, i can't believe its already Wednesday I'm back at Uni tomorrow, the dreaded 5.30 wake up call. I'm surprised i mange to dress myself the state i'm in when i wake up!
God, then the train, free bus and orthodontics!!!!

Its going to be so much fun this year, lacerating myself on wire and talking all pivots and rotations! Are these teeth retroclined or proclined!? Why don't you tell me, your the teacher, your in charge as you keep reminding us!!!!

You know the thing that gets to me the most...the tutor taking us this year persists in calling me "Rachelle" its like he knows how much it grates on me, I HATE IT, it makes me feel so uncomfortable, seriously reminds me of times with braces that dug in shredding my oral tissues, i still have scares to this day! Oh god and really bad 80's glasses, the days before hair dye and frizz control products!
The thought of it makes me shudder i can still hear my riding teaching whilst i was bashing my prepubescent lady bumps on the saddle of a mamouth beast they call a horse!

"Rachellllllllleeeeee, gracefully girl, we must keep grace and decorum at all times if we require a marriage invitation, come on come along!"

God i hated riding, i would rather have taken extra Latin.....honestly!





So events of Wednesday, oh i had a mini adventure to the petrol station this morning at 8.10am, thought i was going to be faced with the que from hell but surprisingly i was the only one there, had to double take because i thought they were closed but then i thought, maybe i missed the pre-VAT fill up!


VAT VAT VAT thats all i here at the moment,but lets up it into context its £2.50 in £100 however will we cope? How about cutting out your luxury mocha chocha fhar fhar coffee once a week or, you know what, i can't even be bothered to go on!

WORK: Only stayed the morning at work cause i finished my work, so i came home, did a bit of tidying and cleaning and spent time with my mum!

Just for an interesting fact, my dog is currently sleeping standing up, she's so weird but i'd say thats a right skill!

Well, to finish off  i'm going to partake in a fruit tea with maybe a bikkie or too, brush my teeth, then off to bed!

SONY 0 - Shelly 1

Thats right friends i put my Dad on the case and that babies closed!! He got a full refund so i'm back on the camera market!

Welcomed Back.....

"It's almost like you work for me!" That was the pre 10am comment from my boss, bless him.....lol.....It was my first day back to work today after the festive period, the day we totally exhaust our smiling festive face, repetitively wish each other a Happy New Year and "owww what did you get for Christmas?"
To be blunt, i did 't get your presents so therefore i'm not actually that bothered unless there slightly cool and your selling them off cheap then the thrifty Meerkat in me will stand to attention!!



So, work was work, mild banter, few rounds of tea, lunch consisting of rice and curry sauce in a bid to satisfy my taste buds that were tantalised by Sean's special fried rice i got a good whiff of on exit, more banter, more rounds of tea..............home time!
Oh, amidst this i did do some work and Toc cleaned the lights, i've never seen so much dust or dead wasps maybe that was so because its annual event, i was tempted to put one in my furnace just to see what happens but i did promise to preform correct usage of the actual furnace during 2011.



We also came to the conclusion that after next year (2012) we will no longer be able to have a same number date eg. 11.11.11 so 12.12.12, 13's gonna be a bitch!

Any more work news? Not really.......so tonight events included, blogging and baking :)
I've already cooked a batch of chocolate muffins which are cooling and there is currently 2 batches of almond muffins in the "little love box", thats what "I" call my oven!

I'm afraid nothing really exciting to report today, got a bank statement, had fish and chips for tea, oww i'm wearing my new apron whilst blogging to, its very fetching heres a picture!



See you tomorrow Shelly xxx

EARTHQUAKE BABY!!!

Ripon just had an earthquake, 3.5 on the scale and we even made sky news!!
Now if thats not blogging news i don;t know what is!!

Dear Sony AKA The Pleb Company...

So as you can see day three hasn't gone great!


  • Once again I'm sick
  • Only 24 hours till I'm back at work
  • Currently hating my iphone
  • Sony - Plebs


Right, well i figured this morning that i would drag my sorry ass out of bed and get myself to SONY and buy myself that camera i've been going on about.

First on the agenda was a nice cup of tea in my little Christmas mug, i'm extremely attached to it as it was a gift from my mate when we hit the Manchester Christmas markets last year! You see if i had my camera i could take a picture but i don't so onwards with the days events.
Seeing as i was venturing into town in my sick state i was accosted at the door and made to wait so Mamar and Papar could make the purchase of 2 sofas from guess where? "Laura Ashley" Yes thats right, the place we went to the other day and the other day and the week and month before that!!!!

Soooooo we arrived in town and i was instantly frog marched to Laura Ashley too spend a total of 2 hours looking at swatch books, thats right my virtual friends 2 whole hours of tatty pieces of cloth that have been over fingered, rubbed and i'm guessing maybe a small child chewed on one corner of  "Swatch Book 1" as there were very distinctive teeth marks, or i could be wrong and it could have been some one in the same situation as my Dad and I who just lost it and couldn't take any more swatches......anyway sofas are now purchased and we only have to wait 67 days for delivery :)

Moving on we went to the SONY Store

  • Saw Camera
  • Asked For Camera
  • Cameras green, like a juicy green apple
  • Purchased camera
  • Camera Placed in small bag
  • Leave Store



That sounds great right? Until i got home.....so excited about getting some cool pictures in this evening and taking my new camera to work i got my juicy green camera out and guess what?

  • No cover film on any surface!
  • Finger marks all over it!
  • No setup/editing disc!
  • No memory card!
  • No manual!


In a calm rage i rang the store......

Shelly: Hello,i purchased a camera from yourselves to day and the following things are wrong and the following items are missing, please explain?
Pleb: Ah yes, was it the green one?
Shelly: Yes!
Pleb: Ah yes, that was the last one i had to take it off display but if you bring it in tomorrow we will swap it for you
Shelly: Fine,bye!

What's wrong with this picture people! I never got told it was an x-display item fingered by geeks and camera enthusiasts, Saturday children who have nothing to do but trundle the shops in order to pass the day, people who click all the buttons over and over, frantic and furiously only to say "I'll think about it"......i was fuming, how the hell did this information get lost in translation and more importantly where the hell was my discount??
I can only hope that the guy that sold me it ends up in hell being relentlessly poked with a large pointy stick held by a giant crab dressed in bondage wear being serenaded by singing ants with top hats and tap shoes! !!!TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP!!!



Its going back tomorrow to be swapped for a silver one unless i can find a better offer at some other shop on line :)

Simply back to work tomorrow........don't miss that instalment! ;)

P.S

i totally forgot i saw a Giant Rabbit for sale today for a bargain price of £69

What will i put in my furnace this year? .

Welcome!

So today was Sunday and i was so looking forward to going out into town to purchase an excessively over priced SONY CyberShot camera; only for blogging use of course, what's words with out pictures?
And then onto Sandbach for dinner with friends..........sounds good don't it, well this is how it turned out!!!

Still awake at 4am this morning, tossing and turning and worrying about the forth coming events of work, what will i put in my furnace this year? I started feeling awful once again. I've been fighting off which i can confirm has been tonsillitis for the past 2weeks and last night was just awful!!! No big bear to keep me warm, little bear was snotty,freezing and wound up like spring!!

At 4.30am i managed to drop off to sleep then what felt like instantly arising to the burst of sunshine through my window at 8.45. Sleep wise i was ok considering i had hardly slept but Jesus did i feel bad.

After pandering too my parents for some good old sympathy they suggest we go to lunch and to purchase my over priced camera.

So i got ready, trundled into town and heard those famous parental words! "Maybe you should eat something?" I hardly think eating will decrease the size of my tonsils unless i manage to chew half of them off, oh yes i should also drink lots! Drinking lots for a person who has a bladder the size of a pea isn't the greatest thing, maybe i should enter Dragons Den with the permanent "SHEPEE" anyway........we went to purchase the camera, it was stupidly overpriced as the web price and the shop price are different,what the hell is that all about, same company different prices, its like offering people a discount at the self check out, ridiculous!!

So no camera purchase and feeling down i was dragged round town for a while sampling the visual delights of sofas, i never really realised the length my parents went to with co-ordination with the "do you think if i raise my buttocks from the seat the imprint i will stay?" i mean there we go, i've instantly created a million jobs, "Ass Plumper!"


"Arse plumper required to plump seat cushion after arse use"

I mean i did wonder though, as i floated round HABITAT in a owwww ahhhhh fashion i had a thought, people were really like flys round shit in there, look 30% off and we can take it home today!!! Is that not normally what happens during the purchasing process or am i the only person who pays, bag, go? I'm diversifying, yes, how many actual asses have sat on those sofas? Shitty nappies, trot ridden pants, no doubt a few pee stained panties, sticky fingers, germs galore but no worries its 30% off!!!

Any way, we looked, measured, looked and left, no change there then.

From there we went to sample the delights of La Tasca, i didn't have the heart to tell my parents i required a slab of meat, thick and juicy between some rustic bread with lashings of mayo and a huge portion of fries and there it was.............tapas, small bowls of food that look "meh" i attacked the meatballs and potatoes then reluctantly nibbled on some fish washed down with a sprite. I even got treated to a dessert which took a whole hour to come, that's a treat right, it felt like waiting for Santa to come....and he arrived....it was cold, horrid, dry and horrid!

So homeward bound after the meatball and pudding saga.....

As i mentioned i was meant to be going to Sandbach this evening as its my hubby's mates birthday but oh,oh no,can't be doing that,i physically just want to drop in a heap and sleep for maybe......yes.......one million years will do!

So, i'm at home with what feels like a courgette that's been placed sideways in my throat while no doubt he's tucking into a delectable and tantalising Chinese with friends  laughing and celebrating while i'm wallowing in my own sickness, misery and self pity!

Oh but upside i bought some lovely floral fairy lights from Laura Ashley for the bedroom, they look so nice oh and Mummy got me a sparkly metallic shiny bright pink pig money box! :)



Well, thats it for me,time to cuddle up with Pablo and sleep sleep sleep -Night xxx

You're wearing a sweater that stretches down to your feet. What color belt do you put on?

I'm unaware of the sweaters colour so i'll go for black or gold?
Althought, are we rocking out with a pattern or stepping out in stripes?

What makes a friend a friend?

Welcoming the New Year....





I never made any plans nor resolutions for 2010 but i feel maybe its time to change that. They say resolutions should be achievable goals so here's my resolution......365 days with Shellington :)

Firstly, i want share my 2011 with you guys, a 365 day whirlwind romance. A year that will no doubt be filled with much happiness, some tears, adventure, travels and achievements not forgetting bad hair days, spots when you just don;t need one and eczema!!!

The whole idea of my blog is that people get to know me and also maybe I'll get to know myself a little more.

Over the past year one of the things that really stands out for me was the fact that the people i thought that new me,that understood me simply didn't! The way they gauged my reactions to certain situations, the way they saw me, the way they presumed i would be out of there presence really rocked my world, in a "sit down your rockin the boat" way! No where near as funky as Michael Jackson!!

The majority of the people i called friends did n't wish me a Merry Christmas nor a Happy New Year, so the very first few hours of 2011 were spent in reflection, spent taking the time to think and truly ask myself....."What is friendship?"

So lets being......Happy New Year and may all you wishes and dreams come true xxx :)
