Jan. 25th, 2012 10:22 pmLoves her mommy, really. Hopefully we'll get to chill over the weekend, this was supposed to be relaxing! Lovely night out (no Haggis at the pub :-( ) and I'm back at work tomorrow.
Notes from the BEYOOOOOOND
Jan. 22nd, 2012 11:10 amWell, the beyond that comes sometime after sanity, that is. Christmas was ok (no proper tree?!) and since the new year started I have been constantly running. With taking the train to work comes the fact that my work days are now between 11 and 14 hours long and after ALL the hullaballoo about our library losing hours (we're understaffed, it makes me feel bad but us staff wouldn't have minded) they have now rethought and wrangled more money from the ministry so instead we are getting 3.5 hours MORE. Manager still not happy, but what to I care at this point. At least I'll still have a job for the foreseeable future.
Money is tight and I have to admit I compensate for not having time for anything like hobbies by shopping which makes things worse. Have to sit on my hands for the next couple of months there.
The house - damp and without storage as it is - hasn't been tended to properly since before Christmas and my MOTHER IS COMING ON TUESDAY! Thomas spent yesterday while I was at work with an industrial strength carpet cleaner and it has indeed defeated the flighty stains and crud that was on the upstairs carpet since we moved in. That the landlord should've sorted that out before we moved in is beside the point at this rate. We also repainted and I'm going to claim the 2nd bedroom as my craft & music room.
One question and favour I have - does anyone have a PINTEREST invite? I know I was offered one before a long while ago and never responded :-(
Off to do more cleaning and lug furniture.
Have I mentioned I have a mystery rash? I itch everywhere :-( Probably comes from having to work so much with children. They've now finagled me into leading the Rhythm & Rhyme when my colleague is off - singing and clapping with toddlers, just what I have ALWAYS dreamed of doing when I did my fucking degree.

WEEKEND!!!
Oct. 9th, 2011 10:29 amThis is the first weekend we can take doggie outside!!!!! We visited Grandma up in Portstewart and I went crafting and all the crafters cooed and awwed over Maike, which she enjoyed very much. I wasn't going to take her into the shop but Sarah (shop owner) is pregnant (eeeee!) and with her wheelchair and bump she couldn't really navigate to see her so Thomas carried the pup inside. The groomer round the corner cut her nails for us while chatting with us and didn't charge for it, which was really nice, as well.
I have cancelled my audible membership and grazebox subscription and joined the land of iPhone owners (if my checks go through, eff knows how these things get decided), can't wait for my new baby to land at the end of the month.
In other news, OUCH. I had a nasty fall on the stairs yesterday - when they put the new flooring in, the carpet layers decided to ignore the hole in the floor and instead of filling it to just carpet over it. I thought it was just a missing floorboard underneath but now that the carpet has some give I found out, to my ankle's great pain, that it is a great big bloody whole on the landing. Down I went, with the laundry and everything else on top of me, cursing. Knee scraped bloody and a twisted ankle that looks slightly misshaped today - OH sent them an angry email so hopefully the landlord will get it sorted as its a menace.
Today we're taking Maike for another walk and then we're off to Ikea and the afternoon will be spent cleaning & tidying fun. Oh, and the cats need to be Frontlined - I have iffy bitemarks that itch like the devil after Fumble slept between my knees.
And now I have to go, the bitch has stolen my trousers!

Things acquired for the puppy
Sep. 8th, 2011 09:47 am- dog crate + bed (36", restricted access at first to be enlarged as Maike grows)
- 2 baby gates (one for upstairs where she'll live while we're out, one for kitchen so cats don't slip out when we're toilet training every 20 minutes)
- Maglite 4D (so I am not too scared to go out into the garden with her if she needs to go at night)
- dog mattress topper (dog mattress bed to be bought when she's bigger, 3 Peaks stuff from P@H is grand)
- weird blue-striped horsey chew & cuddly toy
- puppy waggle and puppy Kong (to be stuffed and frozen for entertainment and teething)
- squeaky wiggly cuddly pull toy
- buckwheat cuddly rag thing that can be warmed up
- wee puppy treats
- dog whistle
- clicker (all for recall training, first order of the day so I'm not nervous about letting her off lead later)
- puppy shampoo (thank goodness she's a working Cocker, not only my favourite but also less trouble when it comes to grooming)
- disposable travel bowls (for the glove compartment)
- dicky Bag, hand sanitizer, poo bags
- goat's milk
Still waiting an ebay seller I bought bowls from to get back to me and he isn't so I need to do a quick emergency shop for two wee bowls at P@H. Only problem now is that the dogfood the breeder's wife said he feeds doesn't exist anymore - she must've gotten it wrong.
This is my girl. Or one of her siblings, it's actually quite hard to tell!
I should maybe update about work or something but tbh I cannot be bothered. I love my colleagues but we keep on getting screwed around by management and it's just too frustrating to think about. Hope everyone is keeping well!
this is not an update
Sep. 7th, 2011 08:55 pmwish I hadn't bothered spending 100£ I didn't have on a plane ticket home for mt 30th, instead of a decent part it's just going to be same old same old, grannies & great-aunties telling me how I've put on weight. Should've grabbed my 100£, Thomas & the dog and gone on a holiday. Sad :-(
We're going on holiday Sunday and MiL will cat sit in our house for 10 days and the house needs to be tidy and cleaned up by then - and here I am with a big cold and a fever. I SO wanted to get back to work tomorrow, we're understaffed and I feel guilty as hell about staying at home. But I don't want to drag out this cold, I want to be able to enjoy my holidays!
Not a happy bunny.

Aug. 16th, 2011 09:14 amToday I am at home with the lurgy - I got rained on last night at the kennels and then the car trip home did me in. It's always cartrips like that, in cold & damp weather, that really wreck me so today I have a really sore throat and a temperature and will lounge on the sofa, play too much Mario and Plants vs. Zombies and just be full of glee.
Considering I often step on Fumble because she's between my feet it'll be interesting to cope with our pup. It was all set to go very wrong indeed - we couldn't reach him via phone so we just headed out but when he finally answered his mobile he said he was down South and could we come back another day? After some negotiating he said we could try and catch his wife at home so we went on. Well, when we arrived no one was in, only his hunting dogs greeted us with rather raucous barking, but thankfully wive was at Zumba with a neighbour and heard the dogs at said neighbours house so they came zooming in. She put Roxy, the mom, into the garden and she and her friend played with the pups and handed us the two wee bitches. I liked the wee one I was holding but the one in Thomas's hands really caught my attention - she just wasn't scared and her tail was wagging and wagging and wagging!
They were a rowdy bunch and there was a lot of nipping at shoelaces and tugging at trouser bottoms and tumbling over each other. The girl we picked kept on trying to climb back over the wooden enclosure to get back to us - I take that as a good sign. She was the rowdiest one of them all and I do wonder what I've let myself in for.
I was wondering about the set up as he had several kennels with dogs in his garden but I think it's ok. We chatted to his wife and she told us it was Roxy's first litter and she had her eyes and hips checked by the vet to make sure she wasn't passing hereditary problems on, the dad was imported from Rytex kennels which have a good reputation and they don't overbreed the dogs, either. She says Roxy will probably have one more litter in a couple of years and that's it.
Roxy was an absolute sweetheart. We met her at the backdoor and she scampered around the kitchen and greeted us with nothing but sweetness and insisted on having her belly rubbed - in fact we barely managed to get her back out in the garden, she was loving the attention way too much.
Overall I had the feeling of very happy working dogs that were well-behaved and well socialised and even the puppies, considering they were only 5 weeks old, were very calm and social even though their mom wasn't there when we interacted with them.
Meike has wee button eyes, a wee white star on her chest and three white toes on her right back paw. We pick her up on the 9th of September.

Update from BEYOOOOND!
Aug. 15th, 2011 10:34 amWell, not *that* beyond. I haven't really updated since starting my new job but I've been too busy - getting used to the new schedule, getting used to travelling 75 miles every day and loads of overtime to make up for the fact that I'm going on holiday next Sunday. I haven't had a Saturday off since the beginning of July and I am well knackered.
The job is ok though it's mostly my colleagues that make it fun - the work itself is just glorified customer service work with pressure form crappy management to get us to take on as much overtime as possible (unpaid, but we can take time off for it) as a lot of libraries are understaffed and they're unwilling to employ people. Out of the full-time staff at our library, only the branch manager has a permanent contract, the rest of us are on temporary "we can fire you anytime" contracts. Lovely. And the work is mostly boring bordering on tedious - can't see how anyone can do that job for 30 years. But I have fab people I work with, so that's good.
Tonight we're going to see a puppy! We are (hopefully, if we are considered good candidates) getting a wee Cocker Spaniel girl come September. It'll mean a big change in daily routine and I doubt Fumble will be pleased, but she's rarely pleased about things anyway.
I am in the process of packing, doing laundry and just getting ready for take-off on Sunday - 10 days of beach and Orxata and books and just lazing about a lot in the SUN. Can't wait.

I've just accepted a position as library assistant - it's full-time but temporary which means on a week to week basis. It's also an hour's drive away. But it will get me out of the house and it will help replenish our rather depleted savings so that's a good thing. Nervous? Hell yes, I'm sitting here with shaking hands as I write this. But a good thing, I think. Now I just need to train myself to go to bed at a reasonable time.
Today is kind of ragey and tedious and I keep on getting in trouble on the internets by being controversial (in my view read: sensible), it's been pissing down since early morning, I've done some really boring editing & proof-reading and am now watching PoA with a cranky cat curled up next to me. To cheer myself up I'd just LOVE to buy the Believable Bronzer at mallybeauty.com but they don't ship to the UK and it's wayyy more expensive over here (if you can even find it, which is an issue in the first place).
I bought Grapefruit juice so I can feel virtuous about my diet at breakfast time and I still hate it. Bitter, brrrr. The end.
ETA: Just joined Shades of Summer to cheer myself up.

Disadvantages of twitter
May. 25th, 2011 04:30 pmYou learn too much about people you might prefer to admire from a distance. Brian Cox? Bit of a twat. Kirstie Allsopp? Won't shut up. Neil Gaiman? Can't let a thing go when he shouldn't and is currently being sycophantic about Margaret Atwood and the remote signing he just did when I distinctly remember him calling her a twit for doing the exact same thing.
Ah well. That wee rant just needed to come out.

Stormy Monday
May. 23rd, 2011 09:28 amWhew, let's hope those dodgy roof tiles stay on, shall we? It's stormy and cold and I am under the weather so I've popped LotR into the dvd player and shall be watching it on our new fantastic 42" telly. It looks so good I really don't see why I ought to be getting the Blu-Ray version that comes out soon.
I'll spend the day writing things, like the 'about me' section for my homepage - can you say oh horror? We spent Saturday in Belfast, first shopping (a good bargain haul of pretty bowl scrapers 75% off, a Soho Spice rack for a tenner instead of 40£ and an apple & berry pie half price - all Avoca) and then seeing Spamalot. Phil Jupitus is adorable and he had his usual specs on and he was good but it was still a bit like watching your dad in the community play. Jodie Prenger is gorgeous and has a great voice but she just comes on wayyyyy too strong. Not a subtle singer, and Sarah Ramirez clearly remains queen.
Yesterday MiL came over - cue frantic cleaning & tidying, but I think the visit was a success and the pie came in handy. I have to say, for being from the famed Avoca cafe it was nothing special and the pastry was cardboardy.
Oooh, my Steenbergs haul came down with her (had accidentally gone to my old address) and I have a wealth of new spice mixes now that I cannot wait to cook with. They smell fabulous, they are freshly imported and freshly mixed to order so you know you are getting good quality. The Madras Curry powder smells divine.
And I think I'm allergic to Fenugreek as I bought some and it makes me sneeze. Right, I shall put up my achey knee, relax my achey back and make my sore throat another cup of tea. Bah.

How are you today? I am just foine, thank you - it is freezing cold (9 C this morning!) and the next week will all be rain and highs of 11/12 degrees. I should be about to make our Friday night curry (sssh, it's totally a sauce out of a jar tonight. not usual for me but my cooking mojo is gone AND the Bangor ASDA didn't have ANY coconut milk. no wonder I usually never go there.) but sudden sleepiness has set in and just thinking about getting up is taxing. What am I like?
Though this post is really just an excuse to use this icon - I might've re-watched the entire run of DW 5 until 1am last night. I was punished for it with a monster headache all day but totally worth it as it's the first time I've felt fannish enough about something to make an icon in YEARS.
Is there any good fic out there? What communities should I join? Please keep in mind that I've been fandom abstinent for the last 3 years or so.

Germany isn't looking so bad these days
May. 13th, 2011 01:26 pmSo first that woman gets shot in Portstewart, now we've moved down here someone was shot about 3 miles from here and THEN someone was stabbed yesterday in the street where we repeatedly looked at a house to maybe buy, inflation is getting worse and NI is just a dead end for jobs in my industry. I mean, a local independent school was advertising for a teacher and they were paying 11000£ a year, full-time.
Also, I miss my family. I think the only thing I'd really miss about the UK are the supermarkets and the variety available. And to be honest where I live is pretty rural, so no local Starbucks. But there are nice supermarkets & cafes, I have family nearby who are as much a comfort as they are a cross to bear and we could have my gran's house; besides, my mom could do with the support. I know I wouldn't have too much trouble setting up shop there and Thomas' skills are sought after, only his language skills aren't up to scratch though in certain IT branches even that wouldn't matter.
I have a lot on my mind these days.

Good evening to one and all!
Apr. 26th, 2011 07:27 pmA sunny, pleasant weekend is coming to an end and OH and I have achieved many things. We hired a van and loaded furniture and unloaded furniture (unloaded a full-to-bursting Ford Transit within 20 minutes cause it needed to go back to Enterprise pronto!), emptied crates, vanquished spiders (there are spider nests everywhere and every now and then a window is suddenly covered in at least 30 of the tiny buggers that we then need to get rid off - the nests are on the outside of the upstairs sash windows and there is no real way to get at them) and overall had a good Easter.
I also bought a goodly number of pots and about 30 strawberry plants - window boxes, hanging baskets, everywhere you can put a strawberry plant there now lives a strawberry plant. We hired neighbour Jim to mow & strim the very overgrown and stubborn lawn and hopefully at some point I will have money to buy some garden furniture.
Money is tight after my recent car troubles - I still need to replace that tyre and car tax is up, too. Add to that the fact that the company from my recent translation job keeps on sending me apologetic emails about their new bank and dodgy payment system but I still haven't seen any money (three frigging weeks behind payment!!!) and things are a bit tight.
Hon only has to go back to work for two days and then is off again on Friday, so that's a very god thing.

Inconsequential nonsense
Apr. 20th, 2011 11:48 amThere is sunshine and everyone is walking around with sandals and airy blouses and I'm sitting here in a cardy and scarf cause I have a sore throat and a nasty sinus headache. Being surrounded by noisy kids doesn't help (local Starbucks is mommy-central for lunch) - and when I went to wash down a neurofen I discovered a fly in the dregs of my iced Chai Latte. Pfffffft.
Another thing that doesn't help is still sleeping on the airbed, but we had to cancel our order with next since it took them blimming forever and we can't order with someone else until the refund comes in. There's something to be said for companies that only bill your account once stuff gets sent out.

Starbucks internet, I love you.
Still no bed, had to cancel order, but at least fireplace has been plastered into the wall, wall has been painted bright coral, we have a plush red sofa (Ikea Kivik with chaise), Benefits office is being a pain in my arse (I had to put in a complete new claim, including ending my 'training' and will have to set up a new Steps agreement).
Oh, and my car started making strange noises and when the tyre place couldn't find anything wrong and told me it probably was the driveshaft I just wanted to strangle the thing. Just came back from the lovely mechanic they recommended who is wonderful and had one of his strappy boys take the tyre off and clean everything and fix it back on. Nothing actually wrong with the car and it only cost me 20£ instead of the anticipated couple of hundred. Though of course I had money in my account for a digital DSLR that was planning on buying before our trip to Edinburgh on the weekend that I now kept in there as a car repair fund. Now it's to late to buy the camera. Oh well.
Overall it has been very stressful BUT I am not nearly as stressed out as I might be - I feel actually quite relaxed. So that's something, I guess. Love our wee house. Pictures to follow.
Hope everyone is doing well!

Oh, I shouldn't laugh
Mar. 29th, 2011 06:57 pmShiloh the naughty beasty has taken to bringing in mice as presents for my MiL - only her latest offering was still alive and is currently taking refuge in her bedroom. Guess who's not pleased? So we lifted all boxes and suitcases up on the bed, and locked both cats in the room and all I can here is MiL poking her big stick behind wardrobes/crevices and every now and then shouting "There it is, Fumble. Fumble! Fuuuuuuuuumbleeeeee!!!!!" *more crashing* "Useless cat!"
It is both hilarious and horrendous and I fell as if I should be contributing more than documenting Maureen's trials on the internet but.... you have to admit it's quite funny.
