MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE

Or happy holidays if you live in America. I am completely ready for Christmas. I am ready for a day of lazing about on the sofa eating loads of junk and watching movies all day. All my presents are bought, they are wrapped and as of an hour or so ago are under the tree. The meats are cooked and the vegetables are cooked and mashed ready for bubble and squeak. This year we are doing thing a bit backwards. We had the turkey curry today which we usually have into the new year to use up the turkey. We are having our boxing day meals like cold meats and bubble and squeal for Christmas day dinner. And we are having Christmas day dinner on Boxing day.

Last night I went to Andie’s 18th birthday party. It was a bit weird in the beginning because I didn’t know anyone but after 30 minutes or so some people I know started turning up and I felt more at ease. It was hard being one of only a few who weren’t drinking, and being the only straightedge person in the room. But I see it as I was looking after everyone who was drinking, including picking them up off the floor. We were wearing glow stick wristbands all night. I was controlling the music for a while. A couple of us where complaining about the music, most wanted drum and base music, but the select few wanted rock and metal. Who do you think won? All in all it was a good night.

In brother news. I now have a lock on my door but the fucker undid the screws to get in. So I now have clear nail varnish over the screws. That should hold him off for a while.

In puppy news, she is all healed up and her ear looks relatively normal. She is all ready for her second Christmas. Trying to get at the nibbles and sniffing the presents.

My final note for Christmas Eve is Merry Christmas (Happy Holidays) to all.

Brothers Part 2

Today I was going out to do my Christmas shopping, so went to get some gift cards I have had for a while. They were there about 2 weeks ago because my mum remembers tidying them up. So knows they were there but they aren’t there now. We have searched high and low but we can’t find them. Which deduces that my brother has yet again stolen from me. So that’s it mum has had enough as well, so the only way we can think of to stop him stealing my stuff is to put a lock on the door. It sucks, because I should not have to lock my room to stop my brother stealing from me.

I still went Christmas shopping with my new Christmas play list but I didn’t buy anything.
Mainly because most things are cheaper online.

In puppy news, her ear is almost healed but she still has a bit hanging off. My mum will never trim her again, at least not her ears.

It’s nice to have a week off work but I get kinda bored I the evenings.

Puppy accident

Oh my god. Today was Poppy puppy’s grooming day. We gave her a bath and dried her. But when it came to trimming her fur, we had a little accident. Mum was trimming her ears while I was holding her head and all of a sudden Poppy lets out a yelp. I ask mum if she had nipped her and she said yes as she rushed across the kitchen to grab some tissue. As I am there holding her head and there is blood pouring from Poppy’s ear. It wasn’t just a nip. The edge of her ear is sliced off. It’s about 1cm long and a couple of millimetres in.

We stopped the bleeding and decided to go out to see Nan and Granddad. On the way we called the vet who said it’s not an emergency if it stops bleeding. But part of her ear is hanging off, so every time she shakes her head the bleeding starts again. So the vet said to stop her shaking you have to carry her everywhere. We decided to go to the pet shop on the way. But as we got out of the car, Poppy shakes her head and the bleeding starts again. We thought we stopped it but as we were walking around the pet shop with me holding her, the blood is pouring out and onto the floor. So I go back to the car with her while mum does the shopping and I manage to get it to stop again. We decided not to go to Nan and Granddad’s because Poppy will get too excited and may open the wound again. So we just went home.

To stop her shaking her head at home we had to make something. Mum came up with the genius idea to put a sock on her head. We cut the toes off and we cut a hole for her other ear. But the sock holds down the injured ear so that if she does shake then her ear won’t move. To stop her from removing the sock we had to put her cone on. Now she looks funny but at least she doesn't keep bleeding.

In brother news, he’s aloud back in the house but only to sleep and eat. He has to keep away from me for the time being. I have now hidden my bag where nobody but me will find it. Try and steal from me now asshole.

In other news, I am talking to my ex-boyfriend again. He requested me and now we talk a lot. It’s good to know that he’s okay and it’s good to find out what he is up to. Especially after loosing Jamie. I regret not talking to Jamie even though he had requested me only months before.

AARRRGGG!!! *$%^”! Brothers

After I stuck up for him too. I drive to work as usual, get my purse out to take out my lunch money as usual. And what do I find. The fucking twat has cleaned me out. I had at least £35 in there. In 5x£5 and a £10 note that mum gave to me to put towards petrol to drive her to the airport last week. Plus I had at least 1x£1 coin because I always have at least one for my mid-morning snack and a drink. But no the fucker has cleaned me out. So now I can’t have my mid-morning snack, I have to wait to go out at lunch. He just doesn’t think about the consequences of his actions. I am so hungry. All I have to keep me going for about 5 hours before my lunch is water and polo’s. I can’t believe he’s done it again. I don’t even know how he could do it. Because since the last wave of thefts from my bag I have had to put a combination lock on there and after my petrol money went missing last week I changed the combination. I am that pissed off at the moment that I am considering whether or not to inform the police. But what would I say. This is how it will pan out if I did go to the police.

Me: “Hi, I’d like to report a crime”.

Popo: “Okay miss, what’s happened”?

Me: “My brother has stolen money from my bag”.

Popo: “What proof do you have that it was him”.

Me: “It couldn’t have been anyone else”.

Popo: “Any hard evidence”.

Me: “No”.

Popo: “Then I’m sorry but there is nothing we can do”.
　
　
So all this morning I have been looking at safe’s and CCTV camera’s at work. But then I thought no, I should not have to do this. I should not have to lock my bag up to stop my brother, yes my brother from stealing from me.

One of my work mates said “you look like you don’t want to be here today“, I just laughed it off. But I was thinking no I don’t, I want to hunt the little shit down and ring his fucking neck.

What do you do with someone who does not see what he is doing is wrong?

What do you do with someone who doesn’t see that his actions are driving his family away?

All because he wants to go out drinking with his mates every night.

Mum wants to change the locks, so that he can’t get in and right now I think she’s right.

Aaarrrrggg!!! FUCKING IDIOT I just want to yell at the top of my lungs. But alas I am at work.

I start to calm down a little and then I think to myself he’s my brother and he cares about me that little that he steals from me. He cares more about his fucking lowlife mates then he does his family.

After everything I’ve done for him.

Anyway, I think you can tell I’m pissed off.

Happy Birthday Mum

As you can tell from the title it’s my mum’s birthday today, so as the loving daughter I am I took her out for dinner, bought her a present and a card. What did she get from my brother…..NOTHING!

I bought her a birthday cake as well but so did my grand parents.
My brother is being such an asshole. Even more than normal. He didn’t get anything for my mum’s birthday because he’s selfish and doesn’t think about anyone but himself. I told him at the beginning of the month and as many times as I could that it was her birthday and he needs to save some money to get her a present. So what does he do, he blows it all on booze.

He hasn’t been going to work in the last couple of days, so he won’t get paid at the end of the week. Oh and he has a £100 fine to pay by 12th December or he goes to court.
Because mum is so pissed off with bailing him out but paying his shit, giving him money all the time and giving him a lift when he asks. Basically doing anything that he asks, because it easier than arguing with him. She has now kicked him out of the house and told him that he needs to change his ways. This morning I woke up to a note the said:

‘ J
Leave your key, this is no longer your home or family’

A bit mean I think but he has to learn, he has to have a full time job that pays a proper wage by next year due to all the bills going up. Me and mum can’t keep paying for him. But what ever we say he still just doesn’t get it. We keep saying we are in recession and there is no money around and he just laughs and says ‘you’ve always got money’.

I love my brother of course I do but he is driving the family apart.

WHY CAN HE SEE THAT

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

It’s Halloween and I had to work. Apparently at home we had no trick or treat kids round and nothing really happened at work. This morning however I believe our poltergeist returned. I was in the bath and all of a sudden the shampoo bottle fell over. I promise you I was nowhere near the bottle, the dog and cat were locked out of the bathroom and it was so cold this morning that I had the window shut. So how did it fall over? It happened again at work. There was no-one in the aisle straight in front of me and again all of a sudden one of the tool boxes fell off the shelf. Spooky huh.

Question, Is it Christmas already? Can you sense the sarcasm? Well at work it is. All the new Christmas stock is going in. We have some lights and tinsel, trees and those annoying singing Christmas characters that start off all cute, but then after listening to them all day, they piss you off. One thing IT’S ONLY OCTOBER.

In other work news. The re-vamp has finally kicked up a gear. Showrooms is split in two, with kitchens and bathrooms at opposite ends of the store. Electrical is currently in plumbing. Plumbing has shifted up. We have no building yard, so all the exterior wood has move into the store. We have no stock on about 3-4 aisles in the middle of the store. The doors have moved to gardening. Trees have been cut down. Half of the car park which is in use has been dug up. And a wall has been removed from the staff area. It’s all go, hopefully to be finished before the deadline of peak trading at Easter.

I haven’t had anymore complaints about my parking. Which is really awesome. I still don’t like parking over the back, especially after dark.

My Saturday shifts have changed as of last Saturday. I keep to the same times and I still have one person from my shift. But I have two new people on my shift. So now I go from an all female shift to a half female and half male shift. In a way it is good but I will miss the girls. Plus I am now the only returns trained operator on my shift.

On Wednesday I had to fill in a Q12 questionnaire which asks staff what they think of the company as a place to work. One of the questions refers to ’Do you have the tools and equipment to do you job?’ I said no, we still have a problem with stationary like staplers and calculators, etc. another question asked ’Do you feel your opinion counts?’ Again I said no, referring to the stationary. I ranted on and said something along the lines of well no because if my opinion counted the stationary problem would have been sorted by now. So when I arrived tonight, guess what, yep we have all new stationary. But the staplers they have given us are useless. But at least they tried. They are trying to make us happy before the official questionnaire at the end of November.

Now the Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross story of them making prank phone calls to the actor Andrew Sachs and saying things about sleeping with the actor’s grand-daughter. For fuck sake it was a prank. It was funny and it has been blown well out of proportion. It should never have got as far as Russell Brand quitting and Jonathan Ross being suspended. They are both really funny men and if anyone had a problem with it they could have changed the station. They didn’t have the final say on the broadcasting of the material, it would be down to the shows producer. So if anyone deserves the sack, it the producer. The BBC website states that the amount of complains 15 days after the event has reached 37,500. Yeah, about 95% of them were days after the event.
Most probably didn’t even hear the original broadcast. I say again. IT WAS A PRANK.

Lewis Hamilton faces the final race of the season on the top of the table. But Felipe Massa is on his home circuit. The final race is this Sunday. The Brazilians have been said to be wishing Lewis to get a puncture. But I say one thing COME ON LEWIS. If Lewis wins he will become the youngest racer to win the Formula one championship trophy.

Oh well that’s it for now. I have to get some sleep as I am on early shift tomorrow and I fell like shit, because I have a fucking cold. My nose is blocked or running, my throat is on fire and I have a chesty cough.

A** hole

Today I am kind of pissed off. Today was my first day on BlogTV and everything was going okay for a while and then some obnoxious asshole decided to insult me. He (I’m guess it was a he) said something like don’t I have any respect for myself, I look like a pig in cow’s clothing. I thought you fucking little twat. So I replied with some line like ‘who the fuck asked you’. He just hacked me off so much. I mean, I’m fine with the way I look and I don’t care what people say about me, especially people who don’t know me. He doesn’t know if I am really self conscious about the way I look. He doesn’t know if I am diabetic. He doesn’t know if I have been through depression and am finally happy within myself and what he said would set me back. He doesn’t know if I’m suicidal. He just doesn’t know what consequence what he said would have on a person. Not to mention he didn’t have the cuts to sign in and in a way say it to my face. He had to hide behind a guest. I been at least 6 hours and I am still annoyed.

On a good note the new bath is fitted and built-in shower head. No more leaks.
