Migraine still hasn't gone.

Paul is a superstar and got me my medicine, which helped.

New rant for today - why are dvds/Blu Rays of things you want to watch so flippin expensive? Are the industries actually that surprised that people download them on the internet?!

We want to watch both Iron Men, Thor and Captain America before going to see The Avengers next weekend. We wanted to buy them. We were not going to spend the ridiculous amounts of money a certain high street retailer us charging for them.

The films are £9.99 each on itunes. Maybe...

We have a movie rental facility on our digital tv box. None of them were on there...hmmm...

Anyway, the answer was there all along. Paul's Mum uses our laptop to keep up with the sport when they're away. They get movie channels with their package...

Thor is funny. We started falling asleep through Captain America.

Only problem with laptop viewing is that the screen is so small. NOT A PROBLEM IN OUR HOUSE!

A projector is not cheap. Mine is on long-term loan from my office. It's awesome! Even Barney thinks so! Only downside is you REALLY need a dark room to play it in. We don't have one of those do we have to wait for it to go dark outside!

Yes, those are Buffy video boxsets it is sitting on! They are perfect to make a stand out of! I knew I kept them for something!

Barney isn't impressed that the screen isn't clear enough yet! He wants to take on Thor, damnit!

I am not over my annoyance of yesterday. AssHat went too far. I think he knows it too, as he barely said 2 words to me today.

I was in at 7am again...

Beanie Man supplied us with yet another epic feast today! We are the last stop on his round so any food that's going to go off is given away as he'd just throw it otherwise. He gives some to the homeless, but as they're quite scary in Liverpool, he buys our loyalty with free food instead.

It works - he's our favourite!

Oh, and a that overtime? Totally worth it! What I was doing paid off and was successful! Yay! As a thank you, my boss bought me a gift:

LURVE DA FIZZ! :D
 
Just a shame I've had a terrible migraine all day and haven't been able to shift it. One is not amused.

Early night again, due to my head pain. Paul had been in London all day so he was shattered too. Bed+boy+babba= happy Caroline!

Babba knows when her Mum needs a cuddle. Just a shame the velvet on the sheets captures all the fur she's currently moulting!

Caroline = useless.

Two tiny hours sleep the cats allowed me. TWO.

Then it was back in to work at 6.45am. Yeah.

Surely it's not legal to be in the office at this hour? Also: how did I manage to get the picture taken at exactly 6:58:00?!

 
AssHat decided to live up to his name. Apparently I should be working harder for him...um...how about no?! What he said actually made me cry. I know it was because I am tired as he wasn't particularly mean or anything but accusing me of not working hard enough when I have 2 jobs and have put in stupid amounts of hours over the last few months UNPAID OVERTIME...that just got to me.

So I put on my ipod, had a cup of tea and looked forward to going home as I got my Paul back. Getting Paul back after he's been away = awesome.

Plus I know that if he carries on being an AssHat to me, Paul will show him what he thinks about that. With his fists.

I don't condone violence for no reason. We have motive.

18th April 2012

Officially known as my longest ever day in work.

After waving Paul off to Bristol for two days, I set off for work myself, arriving just before 7am. Where I stayed until just after 10pm. With two 1 hour breaks in between.

I didn't think to take a picture of the time when I arrived, as, you know, I was working, but I got my first brew at 7.15am. I drank a loooot of tea today! Herbal and normal. A clever mix!

I can't go into detail as to why I was in work so long. Suffice to say that it's terribly important and I'm the only one that could do it.

I also had a feeling I'd be required to stay late so I had to cancel Whedonsday. I hate doing it and I'm not proud of it.

I took an hour at midday and toddled off home to see my kitties and remind myself if I had left them enough food. I had. Phew!

For once they were getting along...and not at all interested in me - they prefer talking to the pigeons outside!

Back to work. To sort through thousands of pieces of paper. When there is that much paper, there will be papercuts. I'm surprised I got as few as I did!

Two extra nasty papercuts. They really flippin' hurt!

I worked until 6 when I came home for some food (and a cheeky whisky) before going back 7-10.
The cats did not approve on my long shifts and promptly proceeded to run around like lunatics ALL FUCKING NIGHT.

It's a good job they are pretty...

17th April 2012

Thought I'd make an early start on everything today with work being so mental. I know I'm the only one who gives a sh*t sometimes as I do get mocked for all the hours I do. It just gives me ammunition if they ever accuse me of laziness!

It was a tough day though. Not assisted by Paul leaving his work laptop in Coventry. Luckily my Dad was 6 miles away so able to collect it so Paul can pick it up on his way to Bristol tomorrow.

Our favourite man with a butty van - The Bean Machine - gave me my lunch for free today. He's awesome! Cajun chicken salad and Leek & Potato soup.

All homemade at their main place on the Docks. It's bloomin fabulous! :-) If any of my Liverpool chums (or Salford or Manchester now I think about it) ever get the opportunity to go to 'Bean' or see the 'Bean Machine' then do. www.beancoffee.co.uk.

That's not a sponsored link - he's just that awesome!

 Proof I ate it all!

Anyway, after Paul got back, we decided to treat ourselves to something delicious for after dinner...not that we ended up eating it! Instead we watched How I Met Your Mother and Castle, then went to sleep as we both had early starts Wednesday morning.

Proof that at nearly 29 I can still laugh because our iced buns look like boobs! I'll grow up one day...

16th April 2012

Happy Birthday Ash & Drew! :-)

Incredibly busy day in work today. One of those days where you never actually get a second to do anything but everything needs doing, you know?!

After what felt like the longest day ever (little did I know what was coming later this week), I got home, watched Game of Thrones with Paul then decided on an early night, as Paul had to go to Coventry the next morning.

We were given a new duvet by my future mother-in-law AGES ago which she bought us as it was 'on sale'...still crazy expensive, even with a discount! Anyway, she got us a super-king size, which is bigger than our current set. We bought a new bed set to go with it but never actually got around to changing it all over. WELL, today was that day!

Yeah, it looks a bit tacky! It's super comfortable though! Feels like something out of Game of Thrones! It's Lannister colours, which I'm not sure is a good theme to have...but the cats like it, which is the main thing!

Terrible quality picture of a wonderfully comfortable bed! :D

Sunday = day of rest, right? Well no. Not in our house, anyway!

Paul was supposed to go running this morning, but unfortunately his running partner had a family emergency, so they didn't go.

Paul then went over to Manchester to the match, so I was planning on epic relaxation time...then remembered I had ironing to do.

Didn't really have much to take pictures of, as I didn't do anything exciting, so here are some unflattering pictures of Barney, who insisted on showing his bellydots for most of the day! I love his belly dots! :-)

Please excuse the 'pile of crap' in the corner - we need a weekend of doing nothing to sort it out...not happening any time soon, sadly!
