Rocky Horror Show

On Tuesday evening, I rushed home from work and got all dressed up, I shaved my legs, applied bright red lipstick, blue eye liner, blue eye shadow, Red basque, Blue mini skirt, Blue high heels, black hold ups. then added some long dangly black diamonty earrings, 4 large fake rings, large silver bangles, crystal neck choker and I'm ready. Linda's sister was already here, then her friend from work turned up and didnt know what to make of the sight in front of her. Anyway we drove to Milton Keynes, and found our places in the theatre. A great show, never seen anything like it before. At the interval, I walked my best walk to the ice cream seller. Her friend said she had to look twice as I had great legs. On the way home, I was running low on fuel, so stopped at Tesco's to fill up. I got cat calls from three young lads in their car, they loved it, but one youngish girl (possibly late teens, early 20's) was totally gob smacked, she didnt know what to do or where to look, her chin was almost on the floor. Well, I was just so happy to be 'out' and proud, yet not many knew it.

Kiss Goodbye to Homophobia

On Sunday September 17th we both went to support a very special evening of entertainment. We went to the Boston Clipper in Northampton town centre for three reasons.
1. To support a new initiative 'kiss goodbye 2 Homophobia'
2. To remember a gay lad (Michael Fardon) who was murdered outside the pub on July 15th.
3. Have fun.

Well, after 5 hours on my feet in 3" heels, my legs and toes ached like hell, so kudos to the girls who do this regularly. We had a fantastic night with many drag acts and a lot of singers I've never heard of, but then I don't watch X-Factor or any other reality show, which many of these acts came from. I would like to offer my thanks to all those acts who attended and gave their time and effort for free to support this event.
A very touching moment occurred half way through the evening, when Michael's brother and two sisters very bravely took to the stage and requested everybody join in three very special songs to remember Michael. There wasn't a dry eye in the house, and even the fantastic compare Jet~Black was emotionally rocked by this display.

A section of the acts that attended are below:

New House New Baby

Hi everybody.

We have an expression in the UK, and it may also exist elsewhere in the world, so I dont want to alienate myself from readers by thinking its only a UK thing. 'new house, new baby', So when people move, usually aimed at youngsters I must admit (but I hasten to add, I'm not past it yet), buy a new house and have a baby. Well our house purchase exchanged while we were on holiday and completed the day after we returned so we were busy moving house recently, and yes, we have a new baby, it arrives on September 1st, it will be a lively nice shiny phantom blue Mazda 6, 2.0 ltr turbo deisel just like the one pictured below.

Well the house is coming on a treat, it was a right shit hole when we arrived, and the woman had the nerve to tell us as she walked out the door, 'its not as clean as I would have liked' Well fuck me, it took us four thats 4 days to clean the place properly. We still havent removed all the grime in the kitchen, but we're getting there slowly. I had to decorate the airing cupboard as 'she who must be obeyed' - quote from Rumpole of the Bailey' wouldnt put anything in there as it was so disgusting. So thats one room completed. We are now working on my daughters room, basically were throwing magnolia emulsion everywhere just to get it clean and so we can say this is OUR home. We have already approached some builders to design our extensions, so things are moving along nicely again. Work is a big interference as my friend is not always well enough to work, and I am covering for both of us as he cant travel, so that is making for long days and not much time to get the house sorted out, well at least we have a bank holiday coming up, so we can spend three days working on the place. Must go for now, and hope to post some more in the next few days.

Its All Happening !

Well its been a while since I posted, life has been pretty hectic, our house sale and purchase is almost complete, just now to decide if its the 21st July or 3rd August. Work has been manic, running all over the UK.The Italians win the Football World Cup, and Zidane throws a wobbler and gets sent off !. I see the Lebanese have vented their anger at the Israeli's, and a major Middle Eastern war is looking likely, and today I hear that in true French fashion, the French prime minister is backing the Lebanese even though they appear to have started it. Not that I do politics, its just what I hear. I am currently sat in Plymouth waiting to see a prospect, and I'm watching a property program. They are featuring buying houses in Morrocco. Particularly Fez. This is a medieval city full of history and great food. It transpires you can but a 12 roomed house for 20,000 - 30,000 GBP. These are 200 hundred years old and absolutely ornate. Renovation labour is about 10 GBP per person per day, Materials, food and drink are so cheap. Its worth a possible viewing in the future, the only drawback, is they speak French (which I don't very well).

Wer'e Back From Our Holiday

Ok, so I didnt think Spain (Costa Del Sol) would be much of a holiday location, and I was pretty much right on that one, its just like going to Blackpool or Brighton but hotter. all the bars were British. We did have a couple of firsts whilst there. Rail travel was really easy and pleasant.

I got stung by a bumble bee on the foot - Been stung by a wasp once before, but a BEE, thats a first.

I watched a football world cup match in a bar - never did that before.

sunbathed naked on the hotel balcony as it was too damn hot to get to the beach.

I have small feet, and take a UK size 6. now this is fine for girly shoes, but when it comes to getting shoes for work, this is a real issue. We went shopping in Fuengirola, and we found a shop with loads of size 6 (or 39 for the europeans).

and now its back to work, and while I was aware, my diary is full for July, so no peace for the wicked, but hey-ho, I'm off on holiday again at the end of the month. Were off to Bulgaria this time, that will be another first.

The 2006 World Cup is Over

Oh dear.

The world cup has come to a horrible end, my outside teams of Spain and Mexico went out early on, and Enlgand failed to perform at any time during this tournament but surprisingly made it to the quarter finals.

that leaves Wimbledon, and as usual Tim Henman leaves early, leaving a 19 year old to hold up the English side, alas he failed today, so no more English teams to support. I hear you cry 'what about the cricket'. well the least said the better I think.

Scotland at World Cup 2006

I see Scotland did indeed make it to the World Cup 2006. Even if it is the name of one of the players for Trinidad and Tobago.

I'm a MONDAY Winner

Well, well, well (three holes in the ground). I dont play the UK National Lottery, as I think the odds of winning are far to high, the money to charity is far to low, and the prize money for 3 4 and 5 balls is too low. I saw an add on the tele for Monday lottery, and this is a charities lottery. I thought, well, I'll give it a go. Its all online and you transfer your stake money in, and use it when you like. I entered over three weeks and didnt get a bean, then missed a week for whatever reason, then though last Sunday, lets do it again. I did all five lines (5 charities), and thought no more of it, thinking my stake money is just about exhausted. Tuesday I got an email saying I was a winner, thinking I had matched 3 balls and maybe getting 17 pounds, for my efforts, I logged onto my account to find I had matched 4 balls and had won 126 pounds. Woooooooppie. At last, I have won something of a significant value. The most I've ever won before was the odd 10 pound on the National lottery before I gave it up about 10 years ago. So well done me, I'm really chuffed.
