Getting my rocks off

I was, indeed, getting my rocks off last night - though, unfortunately, not in the way you may imagine! Ended up on a last minute trip to London, going to see Primal Scream at the Brixton Academy, which despite being an expensive ticketed venue, is undoubtedly a complete dive! That said, I do love a good dive, and it was good to be out and about doing something different to a usual weekend. I always forget how much I love live music until I go and see it, and then end up thinking "I must make sure I get to more gigs!", and invariably not getting round to it.

Last night was a bonus though, as I ended up being the driver (they were let down by someone last minute), and in return I got a free ticket to the gig, plus £50 petrol costs, so had a brilliant night out and made about £20 into the bargain! You really can't argue with that.

However, after a 4am bedtime and a 9am getting up time, I have to say my age is beginning to show, and today I managed to get all my jobs done this morning, including the shopping, just to ensure that I had nothing to do this afternoon but lay on the sofa (and have a little snooze!).

Jamie is due round later, and possibly Bea and mate, as I was originally holding a full girly evening tonight, which I'd already rescheduled but which left them with no plans for this evening, so it seems a mini girly evening was required! Which, to be honest I could do without as I'm fit for little other than pjs and telly, lol! Sure I will manage to get into it though, as long as they don't stay all bloody night...!

There's been a mudder!

Well, after a week that included 2 clients being sectioned, 1 client being recalled to prison, 1 client being raped, oh, and the mere problem of the complete collapse of our drug provision, (not to mention all the usual humdrum!), a night out being a murder suspect (fortunately exonerated in the end - although my delightfully charming mates made the most of not only nominating me as a "suspicious person" but also by asking some most embarrassing questions whilst I was in the line up!) was just what was needed.

There was a short time where the lights went out and I was slightly freaking out with my fingers in my ears going "I don't like bangs, don't let anybody shoot a gun near me!", like the easily spooked big baby that I am, lol, but fortunately it only lasted a very short while and it was an enjoyable night. Though I am obviously no Poirot as I got the motives all right but the mudderer wrong!

So, having decided to come home straight from the Murder Mystery due to a slightly dodgy tummy (hopefully not the arsenic poisoning that finished the hotel manager "Debra" off a few hours ago!), I am off to bed with Stieg and his final offering, in the fabulous knowledge that for the second Sunday in a row, X is sleeping out (at Daddy's this time!) and I can wake when I wish in the morning and continue more of the same - perhaps with a bacon and egg sandwich thrown in for good measure.

I could get used to this!

Labour and toil

I am so over work this week! I am just absolutely sick to death of it. Well, of bloody big wigs swooping in and messing up plans that have taken ages to get into place (as a result of other big wigs being complete arseholes!). It just amazes me that so-called professionals can behave the way some of them do and get away with it! I am just so fed up with it all.

On a good note, its Friday tomorrow. Yippee!! And Saturday brings a Murder Mystery night out in the local town with a few mates and the girls from work, which should be a good giggle, and will at least stand me in good stead for the continuing work hell to come!

A little bit of heaven

Ended up going to girly friends last night after all! Was a good night, and got into my bed about 2am with the wonderful knowledge that I could lie in for a bit in the morning as X was at Lily's. Woke up this morning to the even better news, via phone, that X was staying there all day.

So, I have had a lovely quiet day reading the second Stieg Larsson and eating marmite on toast in my pyjamas. I love Sundays.

Phew, it has been one looooong week! It's Friday now though, woohoo, and I am relaxing in front of the tv looking forward to two days of doing very little! If you exclude the cleaning my house needs this weekend of course!

X is off to Lily's tomorrow afternoon, and sleeping over, and I am having the monthly girly night at mine tomorrow night after somebody cancelled at her place, which is even better for me as it means I don't even have to drive! I suspect the wine will be opened...

Good news this week, as my Y managed to pull off all A's in his Maths exams! Whoop whoop!! Every little helps towards a final A grade result!

Here's to Saturday...!

PS 2

I think it would be the most fabulous thing in the world to have somebody send something into PostSecret about me, although I'm far to cynical to believe it will ever happen!

Out and in

Bloody car! Engine light has come on, and so it has to go for a visit to garage tomorrow. Most annoying!!

On a lighter note, had a good day out yesterday to a space museum (oh I'm so cultured!) with X and Y and my newly reacquainted paternal cousin, as well as meeting my only paternal Uncle and Aunt for the first time for over 30 years. Was good - I particularly liked my Uncle, who was actually quite funny!

Today was spent relaxing, reading and looking at the housework thinking "I really ought to do that!" - or perhaps I should just get a boyfriend who loves cleaning and cooking!

Now its Facebook, cheesecake and Sex and the City on the telly. It's not a bad life :-)

Is having a pretty boring week. Sorry folks!
