I'm Still British, from Essex and living in Portsmouth...

So why am I surprized to see a King-of-the-Hill type arrangement in Buckland??

A whole family plus hundreds of other random children and all the adults either dressed in mucky boiler suits or pjs smoking and drinking cans of various alcohol sitting on a mouldy sofa outside their house.

Maybe living in Guildford has made a snob of me after all...

I'm British...

So I'm going to talk about the weather :D

It's been absolutely fabulous the past couple of day and it pains to have to work all day when I could be in the sunshine :(

However...

It's not that warm

Not like its even reaching 20 degrees

So why did I see someone out in a bikini today.... ???

And where did all the children in the street come from? Theres hundreds of them!!! Did they just come out of hibernation just so they can sit on street corners and kick footballers at passers by?

I think I'm getting grouchy in my old age....

sigh

BTW...Finland diary to follow....(as soon as I can get my pictures off my camera!)

Heres a quick summary...

- Nesquick is a lifesaver, and is also very addictive.

- I've never been to the toilet so many times in my life.

- Finland is cold. 

- Some footwear just isn't appropriate for said conditions.

- I look silly in wooly hats...but head warmth takes priority.

- Tipping in Finland gets you far :D

- Some simple ideas are just too clever and are quite easily overlooked

- Bananas are for Monkeys who have been running a marathon.

That Friday Feeling

Every Friday for the past few weeks has actually been the best day of the week... smiles and good moods all round!

Every morning I'm greated by my Chauffer Steph...

"ITS FRRIIIDDDAAAYYY!!!"

Always cheerful.... In fact it's almost scary sometimes :P

To accompany this...I made a banner for her dashboard (with the help from scrap paper and two different colour Sharpies) saying "It's Friday!"

So the trip to work wouldn't be complete with the ultimate Friday feeling music. Chris Moyles has an awesomely cheesy Friday song, but we couldn't find a version to listen to on the way to work, so we have been attempting to come up with the Ultimate Friday Feeling Music CD to sing along to whilst driving down the M275/M27 to work.

So far we have -
- Africa, Toto
- All Star, Smash Mouth
- Build Me Up Buttercup, Someone

But we must strive to reach perfection dammit!!!!

Give me your Friday Feeling music suggestions... so the Ford Puma morning rave can continue!!!

Happy Happy Happy

I've had a pretty damn fine weekend so far.

Friday night I went out to have pudding and cocktails :) Then to the cinema :) After a week of not eating, Creme Brulee and a Shampagne cocktail was very much appreciated.

Saturday was a nice relaxing day... went out bought a dress for various formal events coming up (i know....wait...) some new clothes, a train ticket for my dash to Guildford on Tuesday and some new steel toe capped boots for my PTA assessment

 (there we go :P). The rest of the day was finally cleaning up my room, going food shopping and revising for my assessments.

Also made me smile when I left the house without a coat or jumper on and saw this...

Spring is upon us people! 

Sunday, the dreaded day...but I passed :D I am now Miss Ambulance Lady :D
