Fakin' It

Getting fake tan is an experience and a half LOL

Felt a bit like a car going to a body shop for a re-spray ;-)

Atleast my white bits aren't quite so white anymore, lets see how long it lasts.

Pretty much all packed and ready, going to Southampton this evening with all my gear, John is having to pick me up cos theres no way this lot is all fitting in the MR2!

Won't be many more posts after this one as we leave on Sunday, I'll try and update my travel blog but no idea what the internet is going to be like on the ship.
I hope I can check my emails just so I can delete all the spam that seems to accumulate in my inbox on a daily basis.

How clever is this little gadget!!! ;-)

Nothing like a bit of GT to bring the summer out in me :-)

It's So Much Easier Not To.

An old man turned 98
He won the lottery
Then died the next day
It's a black fly in Chardonay
It's a death row pardon
2 minutes too late
And isn't ironic, don't you think?

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you're already there
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought it figures

Mr Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suit case
And kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life
To take that flight
And as the plane crashed down
He thought "Well isn't this nice"
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?


Ironic - Alanis Morisette [Jagged Little Pill]


Brought a couple of new cases this evening at Argos basically cos I needed them.

If you've ever seen Jaws when the bloke says "You're gonna need a bigger boat" well this is Cruise....."You're gonna need a bigger case" ;-)

And I'm still worried that my paltry wardrobes worth of clothes won't fit!
I have a special suit carrier for the dresses (yes dresses!!) and my trouser suit plus theres probably some room in there for my shirts cos I'll be fucked if I'm ironing them twice! I hate ironing, I go out of my way to avoid it at all costs.

Give me hoovering any day, it makes noise!

Anyways off to get a fake tan tomorrow! will make the dresses (YES dresses!!!!) look a hell of alot better! wasn't my idea but Francie reckoned our white bits will look a lot less scary so she booked it ;-)

I Was Staring At The Orange Juice Because It Said Concentrate

I started packing and then I thought fuck it!

Its giving me a bloody head ache so I've drunk some beer.


Theres not much going on today
I'm really bored it's getting late
What happened to my Saturday?
Mondays coming the day I hate

Sit on the bed alone
Staring at the phone

He wasn't what I wanted, what I thought no
He wouldn't even open up the door
He never made me feel like I was special
He wasn't really what I'm looking for


He Wasn't - Avril Lavigne


I wonder if Avril was wronged in a former life as there can't possibly be this many songs about boys to sing about as she is only 5 after all! ;-)

Everything Back But You

Today was the worst day, I went through hell
I wish I could remove it from my mind
Two months away from you but I couldn't tell
I thought that everything was going to be just fine

The postcard you wrote with a stupid little note
Something wasn't quite right about it
It smelt like cheap perfume and it didn't smell like you
There is no way you can get around it
Because you wrote...

I wish you were her
You left out the "E"
You left without me
And now you're somewhere out there with a
Bitch slut pyscho babe
I hate you why are guys so lame
Everything I gave you I want everything back but you


Everything Back But You - Avril Lavigne

My Happy Ending

You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do

Avril Lavigne - My Happy Ending


At some point I have to start packing for our cruise!

I made a list the other day and then forgot to press save and so it didn't save and so I haven't got a list.

So a week today I shall be on the Aurora slowly floating out of Southampton water and off towards the first of many stops, Copenhagen in Denmark.

To say I'm looking forward to it is an understatement cos I'm knackered right now!

Been taking a few pix with my new camera, mainly of my fav subjects Trix the cat and my dads dog Meggie :-)













Trix being a dude! ;-) (this ones a bit blurry)













Meg doing her 'Nobody loves me' impression













'Ok so maybe someone loves me cos I just got some chicken from the BBQ'
