You have done well Alandriel! We enjoy your rattling.. at least you you have something interesting to rattle on about... I just rattle.. LOL!

[Alandriel (OP)]

        missed me?






Just kidding of course. [] [] []

This week has been nothing but horrible  [!] which makes me suspect that earth is currently zooming through a spectacularly difficult and tense astrological configuration................... or something.
Surely I can't blame it all on just my hormones???

On the good side though - it only can get better, right?


Quick, someone, say something nice to me before I murder something......

[kdlynn]

um... i can't think under pressure... i... hmmm... that's a beautiful shirt!

[Karen W.]

Yes things must get better and we have missed you! I know how you are feeling... Iv'e been there..... Hugs Hope your week gets much better!

[Karen W.]

Hi Kadie.. You two look gorgeous today! step up to that mirror and smile at yourself and wink at that beautiful sexy women looking back at you and tell your self you are one good looking hot chick and are beautiful! Then smile again.... and have a terrific DAY!

****** clenches teeth and make a face like a croc *******************



yeah, better!  ***suddenly feels empowered *****

Interesting what a set of lovely biters can do to self esteeem!  []

LOL - seriously though. Isnt' it just simply unfair how things just spiral and then there's very little to stop the momentum until it kind of has spiraled itself out? Or at least that's how it can feel at times.

Monday - I forget to charge my phone (which primarily functions as my alarm clock since I tend to forget it at home when I step out for the school run and then have to chase up min 10 missed calls depending on just when exactly I step back in) and therefore had to almost run to school, a very irrate bra... erm... kid in tow. Not good for my bloodpressure at all

Tuesday - computer crashes and I spend 10 hours trying to fix the blasted thing. Plus I get wet 4 times as I'm too distracted to pack a brolly when I'm out on the school run again

Wednesday - credit card company calls and checks for security reasons if I've bought this morning £ 2500 worth of Tiffany jewellery.  I wish I had....  Later that day my shopping does not get delivered because of a cancelled credit card. After much negotiation and pleading they finally do deliver, at 11.30pm (!!!) but only about 50% as the store is 'in a very bad state and terribly understocked we're ever so sorry Madam but there's nothing we can do. We've been simply overwhelmed with orders' ...... yeah right!

Thursday - I'm still chasing up the wedding gift for friends of ours that ought to have been delivered by Monday and by now I know all Beethoven symphonies by heart. What happens when you combine DHL and Selfridges -- disaster, let me tell you! Add to that queueing at the post office for over an hour only to be told that I'd have to first fill in from 657 (or whatever) and got sent back to the end of another queue. After 40 mins in *that* queue I finally get to the clerk who every so sweetly tells me that they've run out of that particular form and that I should try........ I never heard the rest.


And the final straw was that the heel of my favorite shoes broke. Curse all cobble streets!


Did you know that you cannot find a pair of charcoal greay, nice looking low heeled leather boots in all of London?



But at least I have a lovely shirt. Thanks Kadie!!!  [] [] []



.................... where's the chocolate?

[Karen W.]

I don't know but when you find it sharsies! LOL!  I am sorry your week was so disjointed and off balance. Maybe some meditation at the start this week will be beneficial! Some calm time...


I hope it gets better.

[Carolyn]

WOW Alandriel!!!  What a beast of a week you've had.  Glad to see you back here though.  You should keep plenty of root beer on hand.  It makes everything better. []
