I found an interesting website today for people who might want to move to the UK and work for a while … *maybe even me..* It’s called The GumTree. It has alot of useful links for looking for jobs and accomodation. It would make life alot easier for people who want to move/travel.

I’ve been investigating a few things like if i was eligible to move overseas to the UK and actually have a passport, and it looks like I am thanks to Dad being from the UK, and being married to mum when i was born! That would make my life easier as I think about working over there for a while. It would make travel easier too.

I am a step closer to getting fitter too, today the room with the gym equipment was cleaned out by M. I wanted to do it, but He elected to do it himself and pretend that He was too busy to clean with me, so I was left feeling pretty annoyed. Then he surprised me, and now I am feeling guilty! Bah! men suck sometimes.

My partner planned everything to perfection. My friends turning up on time, and then the surprise - a Limousine turning up out the front to take us around the city, where we bought drinks, mixed them and listened to ACDC and stared at the people staring at us. It was in a word - superb.

We travelled around the place and got to Kings Park for some photo’s and a chat, we even had pics of the Limo driver, and we indulged in some various wines, Goundrey Merlot and their unwooded chardonnay. For those who were into spirits, Canadian Club with either dry or *gasp* diet coke.

We arrived at the second surprise for the night, at Indiana’s TeaHouse in Cottesloe. I have always wanted to go there, and the food was delicious. I was feeling a little.. queasy by this time, there was alot of alcohol in my system before we got to eat, and food was welcome.

No deserts for us however, just some coffees and my goodness, the portions of food were absolutely huge! I staggered out of the Cafe and found a comfy spot on the lawns of Cottesloe beach and got much needed fresh air. I was very tired by this time, since I had been up since 4am for work. It was a struggle to stay awake for my own party!

The limo arrived, and we managed to pile in again and go driving to a friends house *lol* and get another camera with film and take more photos.

Eventually we got home, and everyone who was able to, got in their cars and drove home. X. was totally wasted, she’d drunk a whole bottle almost of Canadian Club all by herself and didn’t eat alot of food, and getting her to the house was a feat in itself.

Some of the stuff tho was embarrassing that she said, like, after this night Lori - You have to fuck him. I was burning bright red after that and changed the subject. The other bad thing was she was almost flinging herself out the window for fresh air, which totally freaked me out. I get stressed around really drunk people - it’s why i don’t drink too much because of the loss of control. I thought she was going to fall out of the car at one stage. I didn’t want Mark to leave me alone with her just in case she did something else I wouldnt be able to cope with.

Overall I had alot of fun. There was one other person that I was unable to invite for a couple of reasons, but I am sure they would have really loved it. Maybe next birthday.

Well I am logging on from work this time. At someone else’s house on a 56k modem. I had forgotten how much I have taken for granted my Adsl connection. Mail is slow, web browsing is slow.. waiting for blogger to load so I could blog was slow, I now have an appreciation for high speed connections.

Tonight is my surprise birthday party. My partner was organising it and was a bit slow, so I had to email people I wanted to come and tell them about the surprise party and that I was forwarding their details to M so he could invite them… Indeed this is a very virgo thing for me to do.

After my hangover the other night from the bourbon I drank with friends, I found that I had messaged alot of people when I was home drunk and thinking IRC drunk!! and then I told them I loved them, and kissed them all. I guess that makes me rather embarrassed now because until then I don’t think these people ever thought about getting kisses and smoochies and declarations of I LOVE YOU from me. At least I wasn’t at some bar somewhere crying over a glass of bourbon and telling whoever was next to me that.. I LOVE YOU MAN.. I REALLY LOVE YOU. I am actually nervous about tonight…

“I LOVE YOU ALL!”

Happy birthday to me.

I have been so slack blogger wise, just not had the time and energy. I have worked my ass off since my boss went to canada. a whole two weeks running around like a blue assed fly, then she gets back and gets sick with the flu, so another week, then of course I get the flu. Then things died on my computer, so I have been fixing things. I couldn’t get my password to work either which really annoyed me. So there was another reason for not blogging.

I am extremely tired. I stayed up drinking last night with a friend, and we talked until 5am and we both fell asleep where we were sitting, then i woke up at 6.30am after the cat elected to sit on my ankles and try and shove my feet off the bed. Since then I have tried to sleep and been unable to.

Stupid American express also rang me to hassle me today. My pay was one day late, so they rang to remind me - at 7.30 in the morning.

*ringringringring*
me: “hello?”
Amex: “Hi this is American express, you are late with your payment?”
me: “huh? yeah.. my pay didnt come in yesterday should be here today”
Amex: “You are aware you agreed to pay X dollars per fortnight aren’t you Miss R?”
me: “yeah, 2 and 17 of each month and?”
[silence]*looks at mobile phone time*
me: “Do you know what time it is?”
Amex: “yes it’s 7.30″
[silence]
Amex: “Your payment has not been made this month Miss R”
me: “as i said, i wasnt paid yesterday, its late, i’ll pay you today when my pay gets in ok?”
Amex: “so when will you be making that payment Miss R?”
me: “I SAID TODAY”
Amex: “Today ? ok”
me: “Fine”*click*… pricks…

I apparently will be going to dinner for a surprise birthday party on Friday, sounds good to me. I wish tho I was somewhere else, and with other friends. M and i had a talk on the weekend which resulted in alot of tears from me. I have alot to think about now I have hit the age of 30. Do i want kids, do i want them with him etc. Probably not the best thing to write about at the moment. But i am doing my best to not feel stupid. I just need time and strength to do what I have to. I am not happy where I am at the moment.

Enough from me though. I need some sleep. I am suffering serious deprivation.
