This is my Dad

He’s cool and he’s pretty handy too.

He’s good at mechanics via a mobile phone (last week I went to Sheffield and the car overheated twice - once on the way and once on the way back - he talked me through checking the coolant and how to fill it up)

He can drive a mini bus (this is what he’s doing as I write this post. We’ve going to Breathe conference in Cambridge and we needed a mini bus driver - I can’t drive the bus till I’m 25 and even then they might not let me. So he said yes when I asked him.)

He just rocks! I can’t think of any particular bits at the moment but he’s just fab!

So yesterday while CJ was in London he bought the new version of Monopoly and of course we had to play it.

I however suck at it so lost to him. I don’t have the right tactics.

Me and Jeccy are off to see The Women. Review to follow.

I love this advert - it’s for New Zealand! I want to go!!!

I got back from lunch and there’s a bag of malteasers on my desk! I don’t know who to say thank you to.

UPDATE: I asked ChattyAli If she’d seen anything and she had got them for me! The Chocolate fairy rides again!!!!!

My Mum tells me the story of how when I was little I didn’t eat - I just kinda stopped for a little while and then started again.

Anyway I’ve kinda used that as my reason to love food. After all I’m kinda catching up. For years if anything I was underweight I think I was between 4 and 6 stone till I was about 13 and now at 22 I’m about 11 stone. Now yeah ok thats a little overweight for my height but it’s not doing me any major damage at the moment so do I really need to overly spazz about my weight, the food I eat or the way I look.

So CJ and me went to the supermarket and it was fine till we got home.

On Saturday while I was in Sheffield my left knee seized up and when I managed to put weight on it my leg gave way completely. I told CJ about this yesterday and he’s now on another power crusade about the food I eat and whether I’m getting enough vitamins and minerals.

When I was younger my Mum had problems with her knees and when I had a growth spurt I had problems with my knees - again I’m not worried. On Saturday I’d been driving lots so I just put it down to the fact that my knee was relaxing and calming down having been over exercised.

Maybe it’s just me!

I am probably going to take the shoes back and get them exchanged as even in different socks and no socks my little toe is still getting squished. I’m off to try tights before I go to bed if they don’t work then I’m going to take the shoes back - I am probably going to go for heels again just need to make sure that they are comfy.

OK so it’s not major radical but it is for me. Earlier I decided that as my “ballet” shoes that I wear for work most days are falling apart I decided that I was going to buy some grown up shoes.

I went to Brantano over at Interchange where I bought my last few pairs of work shoes or school shoes when I’ve needed smart shoes. There were lots of pretty shoes - there were a very nice pair that were navy with fushia pinks polka dots on them - now they sound wacky but they’re not - I promise. 

My Mum thought it was different but she knew it was because I wanted to look more grown up and smart for work - after all even though trainers and ballet shoes are comfy they aren’t exactly smart! 

I got home and CJ was too busy taking the mickey out of me because my choice was out of character. 

I’m two minds whether to: 

A) take the shoes back and exchange for something more me. 

or 

B) Tell CJ to jump and wear them all the same!

I think I’d go with B but I almost want to go with A to prove a point.

So today we’ve been to YWAM Harpenden.

For those of you who don’t know YWAM stands for youth with a mission. They have bases nearly all over the world and my local is at Harpenden - just past Luton Airport.

So we came down for the Apple Festival. There’s various bits and pieces like a bouncy castle and a game of twister. Then in the orchard there’s people climbing trees and now Lambkin and The Murf are playing hide and seek.

Will write some more later but here we have a photo for now.

So I have missed out quite alot of HerSpace-MySpace photos.

They aren’t in order though - just dates and pictures.

Gate and Enter - 1st September and 4th September

I walk past this substation nearly everyday on the way to and from the warehouse to the office.

Romantic - 2nd September

I was babysitting last week and this card was on the mantelpiece. Mrs C is starting her Make-up course in the next few weeks and this was her really sweet good luck card from her Hubby - it was seriously sweet!!!!!

Point - 5th September

Originally this was Poke but now it’s Point hehe.

Sweet - 8th September

It was my Manager’s birthday on Sunday so we had cake this week at work.

Bag Lady - 10th September

1. Navy Messenger Bag, 2. Eastpak Messenger Bag, 3. Jansport Rucksack, 4. H and M Black Bag, 5. Head Drawstring Bag6. Not available
I keep meaning to put these on eBay

So I have this friend, and she’s seriously cool - I’d give up everything possible to be at her birthday celebrations next week end.

She wants to go clubbing in sheffield - which ain’t my cuppa but its her birthday so I can get over it for her because I KNOW that what ever I picked (within reason) she’d be there at my side doing it.

Except I suck, I used to be super organised.

I knew when every lecture was and where it was.

I knew the timetable back to front and probably upside down.

If we were lost I knew the way out of the mess.

I can regurgitate useless information till I am blue in the face.

I can tell you lots of info

Except one of the first dates I write in my diary and I still manage to screw up.

So this is the story, this friend is having her birthday on the 27th September - the same day every year for the last 24 years you’d think i’d remember that even though i’ve only know her for 4 of those.

She’s amazing and so understanding about everything but I am a total spazz.

We kinda made semi plans - they weren’t in concrete yet but i got all confused on dates and said yes to singing in a band gig thingy at a church in Cardington.

That wasn’t a problem I was going to travel up on the Saturday morning spend the day and then travel back for the concert it wasnt a problem.

Then yesterday CJ gives me this opportunity and I say yes - after all I’m going up and coming back on Saturday so it shouldn’t be a problem.

CJ wants me to play camera-girlie and do some editing stuff (The youth meeting is a new thing starting this academic year. Friday evening is based on reality so like in a Big Brother kinda stylee we’re going to have a diary room on the way into the meeting)

The original plan was that our friend would be hanging out with her folks that Friday night and so again wasn’t a problem.

However it all got changed this morning so that we (me and two friends) could go up and go clubbing in Sheffield on the Friday then stay over and do stuff Saturday and then me and two friends can drive back to Bedford for me to be at the concert at 6ish and I thought thats okay I can go with the plans still because it doesnt clash except it all does and I have massive dilemmas in front of me.

Now I have no idea what to do - the video thing is cool because i can do filming and editing and add another string to my bow, but I said that I would give LB a lift to Mansfield so now she’s like stranded and can only go up Saturday morning which stuffs up the plans.

I don’t want to let our friend down but then I also don’t want to let CJ down. I am working on a solution but I’m not sure how viable it will be.

I feel all like knotted up inside because I’m being dragged like 4 different directions and as much as I try and straighten stuff out and untangle the knots I get in more of a tangle.

BTW IF you are a Her Space My Space peep I am working on the photographs to catch up as I’ve missed like two weeks - I just need to track down my sheet of the ones I am missing
