Off 'Up North'
I'm about to drive off to Stockton for a two day work meeting and then I have two days to play in Newcastle - normal service will resume on Monday!
Here I come stottie cakes, wind swept coastal walks, a little bit of Xmas shopping and drinking with my mates and brother - it's cold up there, you have to drink to stop freezing to death...or at least, that's what I'm sticking to.
For the first time in ages I feel like I'm gannin hyem (check out this website for a translatation)
p.s. many thanks to those that have commented on the entry below!

Happy Birthday Blog!
Today is my blogs' 4 year blog-sphere anniversary. It's been great fun - a place to let off steam, to link to things that my friends would like on the ether, a stop-off shop for mememes; it's been miserable when I have, manic when I have, happy when I have and now I think it's time for a bit of an overhaul but before I do I'd like to collect a few happy birthdays.
Please leave a comment below to say happy birthday to it with your name and location - that includes any lurkers too!

Tarot - because work finishes in 5 mins and I'm wasting time!
You are The Wheel of Fortune
Good fortune and happiness but sometimes a species of
intoxication with success
The Wheel of Fortune is all about big things, luck, change, fortune. Almost always good fortune. You are lucky in all things that you do and happy with the things that come to you. Be careful that success does not go to your head however. Sometimes luck can change.
What Tarot Card are You?

The Weekend...
The weekend became a bit of a blow out. Saturday, boy and I rushed through recycling, charity shop drop offs and the market. Went up for a rushed pie, mash and pint at The Camel - which was lovely. I then to Tate Modern for a meeting with mother. Too busy, service in the members room was rubbish, I was too tired and ill...walked down the South Bank and came across the fireworks for Mayor's Festival. Went for ginger wine in National Theatre and home to collapse.
Saturday night was hard work - lack of sleep, vomiting, sweating - woke in the morning feeling even worse so I missed my Nana's birthday lunch. Slept through most of the day, was woken by the boy bearing the observer, lucozade and 10p crisps.
The week (so far)...
Generally knackered from the weekend illness.
Busy at work - the rush before going part-time in Dec and Jan.
Paul from N/cle was down in London last night so we met up for a drink with Owen, his boyf and flatmate too - it was lovely evening as I haven't really seen either of them for ages and we needed a catch up. So much has happened in the last few years...all that growing up we've been doing!

Quagmires...
I dislike this time of year so much - sneezing, sore throats, coldsores, dark mornings, dark evenings, overheated travelling, trying to think of money saving pressies for people, knowing the diet isn't going to last the Xmas period, planning New Year celebrations, spending too much money on Starbucks gingerbread lattes "'cos it's nearly Xmas", writing obsessive to do lists full of things I'll never get around to, scared of drunk people after Xmas party drinking...I must, must, must improve my life (repeat to fade).
Blessings...
Eygpt holiday in 27 days.
Cheap Sanctury stuff at Deptford Market (spent £11 for around £35 worth of goodies!)
30th birthday planning for next March (saving for the deposit on Centreparc villas now!)
