I am all excitified!

For one) Mum's just booked our hotel rooms for Bruges in Feb and I'm going to get the eurostar tickets, yayayay!
Really looking forward to having some quality girly time with my Mum, feels like I haven't seen much of her this year, I guess with all the changes and general busy turn my life has taken I've not been able to get back to The Shire as much as I'd like. Do get a couple of days at Chrimble to enjoy some trees and hill though :)

For two) it is less than 3 and a half hours until the weekend starts and I get to chill out with good food, good wine and very pleasent company for THREE WHOLE DAYS!
The plan is stuff faces with pasta and choccie cake tonight while watching Aladin, then Saturday shall be a lazy morning and then playing with the bunnies and perhaps attempting to do something about the giant mud patch developing by the garden gate, Sunday a change of venue and sci-fi ness with some Trek, Firefly and ice cream nomnomnom and then we're off to good ol' London Town on Monday to partake in aquarium type fun times and to raid the Japan Centre, woo!

For three) I have probably had too many E number and sugar due to delightful, free Vimto.

Looked at the goddamn clock at 13:37.
You really infected my brain lol!

Met Wallace and Gromit yesterday, for REAL! Almost made my trip to town worth it. Almost. One hopes that the work in Cathedral Square will be finished in time for the real Christmas rush, it's awful and crowded now, what's it gonna be like first week of December? I still think fountains were a god awful idea. Humph.

Anywho, apart from that things are gravy.

Awaiting delivery of a new run for the bunnies, hopefully it wont turn up while i'm away next weekend (if any of you by an remote chance fancy dropping into the NEC 21st/22nd I'll be there in all my Model Rail glory, please feel free to come take the piss).

Weekend of muchos cooking, eating, chilling and planning is on the cards. Got a lot coming up that needs organising, NEC, London, Christmas, Bruges, volunteer hols for 2010 (need to get in quick or i'll be left with admin and slugs) and possibly a trip to sunny ol' Brighton in the spring. Loving it.

I am so sick of cleaning up 3rd floor's kitchen area GRRRRR

Apart from that s'all gravy, had a good halloween with my beautiful crazy friends, seem to have been left with more alcohol than i started off with tho... confusing as i think most people were a tad tipsy.... i know Tash was teehee! Work's not been too bad, few hiccups and some stress today but nowt i couldn't sort out with a few scowls and sulks. 
Off out tonight with the motley crew to partake of foods at Frankie and Benny's then cinemage for to see UP (and Partly Cloudy) then I think a nice bottle of whatever rosé is left in the cupboard, some hugs and some chilling.
No time to laze about on Saturday though as the nice engineer man is coming to fix my telly up with some cabley goodness *purrs* and i guess i had best tidy the garden and clean the rabbit hutch. My aunt is coming over to check out the house and then we're going to Dad's for a few hours, at least I hope it is just a few hours as I have a hot date with some steak on Sat evening, probably should buy something for the chef. And Sunday, I guess I'll let the chef decide.

Also....where the fcuk did the year go already? I need to start organising voluntry work for next year, it seemed only a week or two ago that I was miffed because i didn't get my '09 placement!

Does anyone have any orange or yellow wool?

Would be so so greatful if some kind soul could give me some so i can finish my halloween costume ^_^



Also, don't the trees look beautiful at the moment *happy sigh*

For those I don't have on FB thought you might like to see the new additions to my little family ^_^

This is one of the lovely buns i am picking up in October, and here's the other one... 

trying to think of names at the mo. They're both boys and I don't want 'normal' pet names, I am fussy!

...bought a very pretty pair of suede shoes, which were the first pair i tried on which is unusual as normally i have to visit every shoe shop ina  5 mile radius twice before i find anything nearly suitable or comfy, a lovely little black bolero jacket to go with my dress for the N R awards and a new bra which quite honestly makes me feel like my boobs are invading my personal space but i kinda like it. It was lovely to be shopping for a size down than 'heffalump' for once too.
... got asked out!!!!! Shock and horrors, it was terrible! There I was scowling and stomping my way through town in a pair of tatty jeans and my Darth Vader 'tell me i'm your daddy' t-shirt when some very sweet guy engages me in conversation, starts complimenting me and asks me out for dinner. I was sure it was some sort of set up or dare or something so I was looking about for sniggering mates or hidden cameras and I did actually splurt out a 'you can't be serious' between all the blushing. Turns out he was, serious that is, so we exchanged numbers and after i said i'd be very busy for a few weeks, he said he'd sure it'd be worth the wait and that he'd keep in touch. I remain a bit skeptic about the whole thing and i'm not even sure i want to be sharing my lovely free time with an obviously crazy man, or even a relatively sane one
... had a free taxi ride home, one of the guys from P'boro Cars was off duty and drove past me as i was struggling home with my shopping in the drizzle and told me he'd take me home which was very sweet.

My only explanation for all fo this is that the whole fucking world has gone crazy in the brain cavity, please let me know if you've any further evidence of this.

Well just got back from badminton and am feeling gooooood.
Hello world welcome to the new fit Robyn, woo yeah!
Badminton once/twice a week (depending on who is on press when, sometimes we can't make up the 4), pilates once a week (which is going well, still can't touch my toes or actually do 70% of the moves but i don't feel useless about it ^_^) and have researched walking and cycle routes around my new house so that i can do something at the weekends once i move (yay for fields and greenery), and this weekend am dragging the BuckMan on an epic trek of EPIC proportions to see EPIC birds and beasties, hells yeah!!!
Haven't lost any more weight this week (thanks to adding a cup of coco and two biccies to my daily routine) but that's all part of the plan as i've got to try and stay within a few lbs of what i am now otherwise my nice newly (twice) tailored dress wont look right for the Awards do, will stun you all with pictures after the event lmao!
But now have a really good plan for the weight loss and am hoping that by the time my birthday rolls around next year i'll be down to a sexy size 14, slowly slowly catchee monkey.

More happy dancing is needed for I have a house, yays!
The letting agents just called to say my application went through and i've arranged to pick the keys up on the 28th!
So excited!
! !!!!!!!

I'm putting a deposit on a house in about 2 hours, squeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know it's Monday morning but please excuse me...

*does the happy dance around the office*

Hello guys and girls of LJ land.

I have become a fish mummy (AGAIN,and this time it's not guppies!!!), yay!
My bristlenose catfish have had oodles of babies, so in a couple of weeks I'll need nice loving homes for them, if you're interested or know anyone who might be please let me know. You'll need a pretty big tank (120l AT LEAST for a breeding pair) with lots of nice hidey holes, they like algea pellets and cucumber. They should all be carrying the albino gene as Dad is a strapping big whitey boy lol! Not sure which of my females is the mother, but they are all normal colour morphs.
Some of these guys will be going to my LFS (yay store credit!) but i would like to be able to give some to my friendies.

In other news, cross your fingers for me this coming week, i'm looking at a bucket load of houses/flats and am aiming to be all moved out and in by end of Sept, bring it on!

Also, question, the OU - worth it?

fluff and mittens for all!

I had to go see the dentist this morning after mysteriously waking up minus a filling - ouch.
Luckily there was a cancellation at about 0915 so i got seen and poked about.
But after parting with precious holiday fund money i feel a lot less sore but rather annoyed, grr!

Today is my birfday ^_^

Thank you for my lovely cards and presents and hugs and messages.

I had a lovely weekend, starting on Friday when i took a trip to the cinema and bowling and pub with some lovely friends and then saturday i mooched about town with Kate and then spent the afternoon snoozing and having a geeky ol' time on the DS. Then yesterday my brother came over and we shopped for yummy foods and in the evening Dad took us and my aunt and uncle out for the most epic meal ever! Paul Pry = awesomeness!
Also I have a GREAT cake, my mate Maria made me Cake Henge *bounce bounce* I can't wait to eat it nomnomnom!

I'm rather worn out now but still have a whooooole day of work ahead of me so i'd best get to it.

Thanks again, hugs for all!
