3rd Acupuncture Treatment

Well good news. I found my missing earring, it was at the acupuncture studio. Bad news is that I ate duck last night and was not very well. and more bad news, they gave me another 7 packets of the 'loverly' herbal drink....................... yuk.
To cheer myself up after that bad news, I bought 8 Cd's of the following:
Queen - live at Wembly.
Queen - Jazz
Hocus Pocus - Best of - dont say youv'e never heard of them if your over 30.
Bachman Turner Overdrive - Greatest, comment as above
Supertramp - V Best of
Little Feat - Feats dont fail me now ! - specialised music
Tubes - What do you want form live! - 70's US punk band, very outragious nudity on stage etc....
Kaiser Chiefs - Employment - if your over 30, youv'e possibly never heard of them, go listern, there great.

Also I have lost a bit of weight over the past 3 weeks, I've dropped from a size 14 to 12, and now need to buy myself a new skirt, (only the one, just incase the weight starts to come back), so on Monday, Linda and I will be out shopping yet again. deep joy, what style should I buy?, well it will be short as I have been told by many people that I have good legs, so it will be well above the knee.

I will keep you posted once I've bought it.

Eurovision Farce

Well did you watch the Eurovision contest. I managed to watch the first few entries, but got board very quickly. I didnt play my game as I wasnt in the mood for drinking. Anyway, I saw the Israeli entry of the Abba tribute (hot totty), and just caught the UK entry of the Beyonce wannabe.

So what was that wooden pair doing presenting the show. talk about Bill and Ben, and what was she wearing, some bloody ball gown I wonder,

And then there was the voting.
so how come the 3 biggest contributers to Eurovision end up the bottom three in the contest, and the UK get a lowly 18 points.......

Anyway, well done Greece, Helena, i love your eyebrows. (I dont suppose she will be reading my blog, but hey, who knows), and the songs not bad either.

2nd Acupuncture Treatment

Well, I went for my second acupuncture treatment this morning, and this time I was given 15 needles (Last time it was only 12). Some again inserted in my stomach, others in my elbows, knees, calves and ankles. This time I had to remove my trousers and sock, so he was a bit shocked to see my shaven legs, white silky panties and painted toe nails. This time the treatment only lasted 30 minutes, but I still had numb arms and legs, but they soon recovered. The guy gave me a massage, but this time, did my arms, legs and head. I have also lost one of my earrings so am hoping it fell out when he did the head massage, and so it may be still lying on the bed under his pillow. I will have to remember to ask whenI go back next Friday.
so next exciting episode is due on the 27th. The Chinese herbal medicine doesn't taste any better, and I really hate to drink it, but as they say, 'If it tastes bad, then it will do you some good'. So I am going to stick with it and hope I dont get too depressed over it. This afternoon I am feeleing pretty good, with little or no pains, but have reduced my food intake and am sticking to food I know shouldn't cause me a problem.

A Series of First's Last Night

Well, yesterday I had five first time experiences, but only four that I will publish here. Three in town, and then we went out last night to the theatre, and I had two more (or one publishable).

1. I had accupuntcture to try and find a remedy for my IBS. Very strange experience, and I need a few more treatments (6 in total).
2. I had a head massage after the accupuncture, this was mainly to bring me back to life again as my arms and legs had gone to sleep during the 40 minutes treatment.
3. I am taking Chinese Herbal medicine, that is made of what look like very old pieces of tree bark, dried up mushrooms and all sorts of other crap, its the worst tatsing stuff I've ever had.

At the Milton Keynes theatre while watching Miss Saigon:
4. I had honey and Ginger ice cream, yes, I found it very nice.
5. whilst sat in the theatre just after the intermission - go dream.....

oh deep joy.

My Food Analysis Results

Due to my suspected IBS, I had an independent food analysis performed, and here are the results.

Sensitive foods are:
Blackberries Not too keen - don't eat them
Butter Usually have marg anyway
Cherries Not too keen - don't eat them
Cranberries Not too keen - don't eat them
Cress what's that about, nothing in cress !
Duck Love duck
Kiwis Not too keen - don't eat them
Grapefruit Not too keen - don't eat them
White Grapes Love grapes
Halibut Love fish
Lobster Love it when I can afford it
Mushrooms Damn - Love them
Green Olives Hate them - don't eat them
Oyster Never eaten one
Peanuts Damn - Love them
Peppermint oil Indifferent
Pineapple Damn - Love them
Raisins Damn - Love them
Sole I love fish
Spinach Shame - I like it, but don't eat it often
Tea Damn - the only thing I drink except hot chocolate and alcohol !
Turnip Not a problem - can live without it
Clear Vinegar Not a problem - can live without it
Walnuts Hate them - haven't eaten one since I was in junior school
Watermellons Not too keen - last resort food for me

funny though, at the end of the report, this statement sort of upset me. (yes I'm the sensitive type) OK so I balled my eyes out, I was having a bad day !!!!!!
'Interestingly you showed up as having more foods to avoid than most people we test'.

In my analysis of what I eat, currently I am never going to be able to eat the following:
Cucumber
Pork pies
Sausage Rolls
Scotch eggs - see a theme here, Pork maybe.
Cheese
Peanuts / nuts

So I start to think 'what do the experts know' ?

I will keep you all updated as I discover more 'bad' foods.

Its been a week or so.

Well, if you read my blog, you will see that I have been abscent for the past week, I had a hastily arranged business trip to Israel, only for a couple of days, but if you want my advice, dont take the overnight flight, its a killer if you have to work the whole next day. You arrive at 5:30am, takes about an hour to get through immigration etc, then locate your office. by lunchtime I was knackered, I was involved in a 2 day brainstorming session, come 3pm, I was dead in my seat. I had a very enjoyable evening, and a really good sleep. Day 2 was fine as I was fully awake again, until I was asked to explain some of the points I had made the previous day, and I had to admit to the group that i had no recollection of the previous afternoon. how embarrasing, but they saw the funny side of it thankfully.

Eurovision Drinking Game

Well folks, as you may be aware, EuroVision is creeping up on us yet again, so I thought we could all play this little game on Euro night, Thats 21st May 2005.

Financial reasons

All of the above
If Germany spares one single point for her southern neighbour, Austria.
If your own country comes first.

Germany's song does not mention peace, harmony or love...

Well, you can never have too many shoes, and here is my newest pair of shoes, they cost me a massive £5, they are the most comfortable pair of shoes I have owned in a long time. These 3inch heels feel so natural when I wear them, so much so, that I have been shopping in them twice in three days, I spent all night in a restaurant wearing them, and I am off food shopping tonight wearing them.

To go Kosha or not !

Well, I'm sure your all interested, but due to my stomach compliant, my diet has been serverly resticted to mainly chicken and fish. Yesterday, I had my first apple of the year, and Yo, it looks like fruit is OK for me. I dont like much fruit, but at least I can now eat Apples, Pears and Banana's. I also had chocolate coated nuts again last night, and that is a big no no. Lots of grief after that. So this morning I took a tablet to calm things down, and am again feeling fine. So lets get back into the hell hole, so for lunch I have just eaten a sausage roll. I expect to be in pain later this evening, and if thats the case, then I might as well turn Jewish, (Hey, I'm halfway there anyway !) and eat only Kosha food.

*** Update ***
This afternoon, I ate my last ever sausage roll. - Sausage rolls are off the menu

Shock Horror

Al Yankovic - Truck Drivin' Song

Heres the lyrics of an excellent song. Unfortunatley, I only drive a Ford Focus, but hey ho.

I'm drivin' a truckDriving a big ol' truck
Pedal to the metal, hope I don't run out of luck
Rollin' down the highway until the break of dawn
Drivin' a truck with my high heels on

My diesel rig is northward bound
It's time to put that hammer down
Just watchin' as the miles go flyin' by
I'm ridin' twenty tons of steel
But it's sure hard to hold the wheel
While I'm still waiting for my nails to dry

Oh, I always gotta check my lipstick in that rear view mirror
And my pink angora sweater fits so tight
I'm jammin' gears and haulin' freight
Well, I sure hope my seams are straight
Lord, don't let my mascara run tonight

Because I'm drivin' a truck
Drivin' a big ol' truck
Smokey's on my tail and my accelerator's stuck
Got these eighteen wheels a-rollin' until the break of dawn
Drivin' a truck with my high heels on

Oh, I don't mind when my crotchless panties creep right up on me
And my nipple rings don't bother me too much
But when I hit those big speed bumps
My darling little rhinestone pumps
Keep slippin' off the mother-lovin' clutch

But still I'm drivin' a truck Drivin' a big ol' truck
Headin' down the interstate, just tryin' to make a buck
Wearin' feather boas with sequins and chiffon
While I'm drivin' a truck with my high heels on

But still I'm drivin' a truck
Drivin' a truck
Got a load to carry and some eyebrows left to pluck
And I'm late for my appointment down at the hair salon
So I'll be drivin' a truck with my high heels on

About Graham/Michelle

Well its 4am, and I cant sleep tonight, so I thought I would write a little note for ya'll
So here are a few things about Graham & Michelle
Our favorite colour is Lilac.
We love to sing, but are tone deaf.
We have 2 tattoo's - A snake on the left shoulder and Graham's custom design on our butt.
We are naturally pretty smooth with a few exceptions, unwanted hair gets removed regularly.
We have 5 ear peicings, a pretty belly bar and 1 more piercing somewhere else.
Graham's favorite song is 'Freebird' by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Michelle's favorite song is 'Man I Feel Like A Woman' by Shania Twain.
The most amazing experince ever, was seeing all 3 of my children born (happily this was not all at the same time, and the total emotional overload that then flooded over me for the next day or so. Only to be bought back down to earth once the 'family' returned home and the long nights of nappy changing and breast feeding (my ex wife, not me).

Project Eden Garden

Well at long last we decided what to do with our back garden, We dont want to spend too much, as its not in bad condition, we just want to tart it up until we move. So down to the garden center we trotted on Sunday, and found a couple of old railway sleepers, and some fence panels. We have them being delivered Tuesday, and I am hoping for some gorgeous hunk to man handle our goods from his lorry. Have you ever tried to pick up an 8 foot long, 10 inch by 8 inch railway sleeper........... So I am sat here ready for him, nails nicely done, lippy on, and expectations very high.
Update....
Well that was a major disappointment - good looking NOT. Even the goods I ordered were different to what was delivered so most of it has gone back, and am now awaiting a second delivery.

Good Friends NOT

Well, a long trip up North yesterday, I had to meet with the folks at the highly succesfull business consortium, and ended up having a very intimate meeting with Gods right hand man and his three stooges, where he stressed how important it was that I (yes ME) resolve his issues TODAY. Bloody cheek. So with no pressure, I simply told him he was running software that was 3 years out of date, and out of support to boot....... This sort of levelled the playing field a bit... So eventually managed to get out just before 5pm, only to drive back the 120 miles to pickup my ankle biters, but I was 1.5 hours late for that due to being held by my naggers at the consortuim building until we could do no more to help. (wont know until Saturday if my recommendations have cured the problem). So driving back down the M1 (Englands major autoroute), the speed limit is 70MPH (sorry to any non Brit reading this, I think thats about 100KPH), I needed to cover a lot of ground quickly, so my little Focus was being thrassed along the M1 at 105MPH (~160KPH), and then there was a delay for 6 junctions due to some idiots not paying attention so this held me up by about 45minutes (no I wasnt involved - but just call me Michael Schumacker) . anyway, called kids, told them to eat before I picked them up. so no real issues.

The weekend is now here, and I've got my personal time, so those at the big house cant touch me today.... freedom and back to my personal time and my day dreams...................................

bye for now y'all.

Busy day

Oh a very busy day today, I thought I had it all done by lunchtime, but then spent all afternoon on the phone with various customers of the big house. Since the lay-offs many of their regular contacts have dissappeared, and its left to little old me to pick up the pieces. So after 4 conference calls and many emails, I ended it all at 18:45 as she who must be obeyed needed picking up from work. then she's off out gallivanting in town tonight, so back to work then. I was hopeing for an easier day tommorow by actually going to the big house, (only a 2 hour drive) but I have now been requested to drive to the other end of the country to help some poor customer out with an issue. Never mind, as long as I get home for tea time to pick up my ankle biters for the weekend. I am now drinking about 2 litres of water a day, dont like the plain stuff so have gone for flavoured, its not quite so bad, I suppose it does the same thing (but still not as good as a bacardi). They both make me pee loads. Hopefully this will help me to not get cramp so often.
I must confess, I wasnt sure these blog things would be much good, but hey, you can rant all you like and nobody can do anything about it. This will save Linda from being bombarded by my anal discussions of my day. I must say a big thank you Debbie for introducing me to this technology......

And dont you hate Peugeot and BMW drivers, they are the worst. Tonight we had a right dipstick reverse his BMW X5 into the mainstream traffic, so I swerved to go around him, and the stupid sod floors it and honks me!!!! The most careing and safe driver going....

so lets now see what tomorrow brings.

This is little miss signing off. nanoo nanoo

Oh what a rollercoaster week

Well its been one hell of a week, but at the 'big house' we are having layoffs, and my boss has been just one casualty. I am hoping I will still be employed by the end of the week.

Sunday after being on some sort of astral plane, more like a rabbit on speed bouncing off the walls on Friday and Saturday, I crashed and burned big time on Sunday, a very emotional day, so for you guys who think it is sissy to cry, let me tell you, it isnt, you get more affection from the misses when you do it.. Monday it was made official about the layoffs at the big house, but we should try and keep focused, and I keep going through the logic of why they shouldn't choose me (basically I have to work six days a week to keep on top of it all) so in some weird way it might be a blessing if they did chop me. But hey ho, somebody has to pay the mortgage.
Tonight, I found out from a good girl friend at work, that the axe has finished falling in our little part of the big house, and that we still have a job, Thank you Lord........ Perhaps normal service can once again resume. and its only Wednesday......

Late last night I got a call from one of the managers at the big house, he told me what my friend had said, so basically, I am still in gainfull employ. Yippie. So lets get out the Bacardi and Coke.

Thursday morning...................... oooooooooooooooooohhhh, well the drink didnt intefere with my IBS, but it hurts the head..... So thats some good news, I can at least survive on Bacardi and coke even if theres not much food in the world I will be able to eat. I had a health check a few weeks ago, and I am supposedly intollerent of more foods than most people. Yeah right.... a lot of the stuff on the list, I never eat as its disgusting......Who eats olives I ask !!!!!!
