My internet has been playing up the last couple of days (for some reason the wireless router seems to interfere with the PC, and then refusing to acknowledge the wireless at all, which is just weird)
Probably a good job I didn't come on line yesterday as I was growling all day ... totally growling/snarling/nasty/snarky/grrr! PMT FTW!?!!

Anyway, I'm much more chipper today, and I have just made yummy cheese scones and am waiting for bread to finish cooking - the house smells so yummy! Yummy! And my stomach is rumbling ominously! Never cook when you're hungry, guys and dolls, it's pure torture! XD

In other news Jess is insane. I was happily being braindead online when there was a huge BANG from upstairs - I went haring up there to find the stupid cat had decided getting in through a bedroom window seemed like a brilliant idea! She didn't manage it. I had to run back downstairs and let her in the door - all the while she is shouting her head off at me as if this is all my fault! Miaow! Idiot animal ... *grumbles* ... now's she's all purry and happy and snuggled on the harddrive box thing... *shakes head*

BREAD!!!!

It's my birthday! It's my birthday! *does the happy dance*

yay!

that'll do pig, that'll do ...

YOU ROCK!!!

that is all xx

Had a lovely evening out with Mumsy last night - to a Jane Austen society meeting, which was very interesting. Hazel was giving a talk on her collection - she has so many books it's almost silly. It was nice to see all the old dears again - I haven't been to a meeting for over a year, and didn't even make it to the birthday dinner at xmas last year. We've only lost 2 since the last time I went, well 2 members and a spouse, so 3 really. Mummy keeps me up to date on things anyway as she's now on the committee, and loving it!
And I got to see my lovely Slave (Hazel is his mumsy - she's the reason Mumsy and I joined)
Dad gave us a lift there and back - he's a terrible driver! So impatient and aggro. He's not used to driving any more I guess, biking or walking everywhere in town, and only driving long distances via motorways, so he was really scary on the little Cambridge roads. I was literally hanging on to the edge of my seat. Didn't help that the parents were bickering over directions there and back! XD

Birthday plans are starting to take shape.
Monday is going to be fun (so long as I ignore the actual reason things are happening, otherwise I'll be crying in a corner) I'm really looking forward to the theatre trip - Stuart Lee - and the 'mystery' trip before hand XD
Tuesday is definitely looking like a trip to the Kambar - and it's Goth night! *whoot* I've been trying to work out the last time we went to the club and I think it could well be my birthday before last. I really can't recall going for Ann's birthday, or anyone else's in the last 2 years. This is what being a hermit does for you!
Need to start planning my outfit NOW! Goth Queen Supreme! mwahahahaha! *ahem*
And at some point I'm going to have a girly day with Ann, and we'll be going to see Alice in Wonderland - Johnny Depp & Tim Burton ftfw!
And I'm having another girly day with Mumsy, clothes shopping (as I can't decide what I want I'm being treated to new clothes - huzzah!) and pizza express more than likely.
And then end the week with a meal and drinkies with mes amis.

This actually looks like it could be a really good birthday XD

It's the weekend! The sun is shining and it looks actually Spring-like out there.
What shall I do with myself today? Hmmm ...

Haven't attempted to speak yet today (haven't had to as yet) but I'm not holding out much hope of having a natural voice, my throat feels so tight, swallowing still hurts. I thought it was getting better yesterday but then I was forced to speak quite a lot - people kept phoning me and it's difficult to answer their questions when all you can do is croak and rasp - so it was very tender again by bedtime. Really should go and see the dr again, but I know what it is (inflamed tonsils - should have had them out as a child but didn't), and there's not a lot they can do about it. Maybe I should insist on seeing an ENT specialist just to check. Ho hum. Yeah, not going to happen ...

I feel like going out and buying some nice pastries. Mmmm almond croissant sounds so good right now. And flavoured coffee .... mmmmmmm ... XD

I've come down with a rotten cold over the last couple of days. My throat is swollen - I can barely talk or swallow, and it's really tender to touch and when I move my head. I woke up gasping for breath a few times during the night, my throat on fire trying to gulp down some air. Jack has just informed me that the friend he was staying with at the weekeknd had a highly contagious ENT infection last week, but he was over it by the weekend. I'm thinking maybe not. I was getting a snotty cold anyway but my throat doesn't normally react like this.
It hurts *sobs*
And I feel as if I may have pulled a stomach muscle in all the sneezing and coughing I've been doing. Honestly I'm doubled up like a little old lady, shuffling round with the occassional creak and groan.
S'not fair (sic)

Excuse me while I huddle in a corner and feel rather sorry for myself *sniffs*


Oh and I couldn't get that coffee moodtheme to work - Unna, what am I doing wrong? (cos it will be me being a numpty after all)

A couple of days more or less internet-less and I seem to have missed so much

I shall spend the rest of the morning catching up on peoples' journals ...

This:

Narrator: In A.D. 2006, Web was beginning.
Captain: What happen ?
Mechanic: Somebody set up us the journal.
Operator: We get signal.
Captain: What !
Operator: Main browser turn on.
Captain: It's you !!
CATS: How are you users !!
CATS: All your base are belong to Frank.
CATS: You are on the way to 404.
Captain: What you say !!
CATS: You have no chance to reach your page. Make your spelling correct.
CATS: Ha Ha Ha Ha ....


always amuses me when I hit a dead or unavailable link XDDDD

I knew I'd got quite obsessive with collecting Sindy dolls a few years ago but I really had no idea how bad it was ... until now ... 5 big boxes of stuff and a couple of bags! Oh dear!

So, I've made a decision - I'm keeping all the original 60s and 70s Pedigree era Sindy stuff (why oh why did I let it all go when I was a child?)
I was rather chuffed to discover I have the full ORANGE bathroom set - including the shower and the toilet! hahahaha
And the original bedroom suite. And the caravan (2nd version I think, but I'll need to check) Really, really need the jeep that goes with it!
I have a few other bits and pieces I'd completely forgotten about too - I've spent a happy few hours of discovery hehe
I even have a Paul! *happy bounce* Even if he is the modern one, it still counts!
Wish I could find my knitting patterns though - I used to have quite a few of those ...

So now I have 2 boxes of original furniture that needs cleaning, most of which is still in excellent condition. 3 original Sindys - blond, dark and pink! (I want a redhead dammit!) and 1 new style, just for the sake of it really. Tons of clothes, some of which I (sadly?) know the design name of: Sweet Dreams, Sweet Sunshine, Rainy Days etc etc (is this a bit sad? probably ... but it's a huge part of my childhood so I don't care.)

And I'm going to sell off all the Barbies and various other dolls I have (and try not to spend any money gained buying back all the stuff I still want from ebay). I really didn't realise how many dolls I had - at least 6 Barbies, 3 Kens, Skipper and Stacy, various friends, quite a few Princess dolls too.
All the clothes and furniture items will also go.
Barbie is too damn pink for me, and I like pink so that statement in itself may come as a surprise. Actually, it's not just the pink, it's the vapid plastic smile. Sindy was always my favourite. I think that's why I got rid of most of mine in the early 80s - apart from feeling too grown up for dolls (oh how little did I know!) - this was the point when Sindy moved to Hasbro and had a pink injection. Nothing was quite the same after that.
It's going to be hard parting with some of the others though ... I may keep the odd one ...

and can you believe there isn't a functioning Sindy comm on lj?! how strange!

There is no other tag for this than 'random' - maybe I should have one for 'insanity'?
