I am a student!

The job searching was proving fruitless. ....I found myself doing jobs that I hated and then it dawned on me.....finish the degree you silly girl!!!!   So, here I am....ahhh it's been 3 weeks.  I'm taking 4 papers this semester. It's stress city.  I'm procrastinating hard-out about starting my essays but realised with shock and horror that they're all due in next week!!!!! EEEEEKKKKK! Where...

Pee...Piss...Widdle...Piddle...Wee.

However you want to call it I am finding it ALL OVER THE HOUSE! I went to sit on the couch but sat RIGHT on a damp spot - leaned in for a closer inspection... experiemental whiff - piss was on the couch! - Washed all the covers, my clothes that had sat on the "spot"...sprayed it with everything I could find....yuck. (still get whiffs every now and then). A few days later - piss in the laundry basket...

Under-nourished....

This is a blog about some really shit service we (me and a few friends of mine) have been receiving at a certain cafe on the island......lets just call it Shitty Mc Nellies! (if you live on the island then the title of my blog will give it away). Befor I go into this let me just say that there is one shinning star there. The...

Kids say the darndest things....

Here are a few:  "I can chop my leg off if I want!" Child: "Can I open the door while we're driving, what will happen?" Adult: "Well, either you'll fall out, or we'll pull the car over and you'll be walking." Child: "Well, if you try and make me walk then I'll just climb on the car and hang on to the roof" "I'm practicing being dead" "You are what you say! You are what you say! You are what...

A day of bemusements

Here are some weird things that have happened today: My boyf was off to Rugby practice and wasn't going to be home for dinner. So I was thinking I'd cook something anyway, for him to have when he got back. But then I thought about popping in on my mum instead, around dinner time.....but then I thought that would be a little naughty of me so I went back to the idea of cooking something - though...

Disillusioned Dog Walker.....

Well - the dog walking doesn't seem to be going as well as I would like.  When I started I envisioned myself as Jennifer Lopez' character in Monster in Law - that happy, free spirited dog walker, who walked out her door, and picked up about 7 dogs along her walk....strolling carefree along the beach, in the sun, with a coffee, then had a little sit and ponder while the dogs all obediently lay...

Dentures and new clients!

My nana has early onset dementia, which means she looses things quite alot - this week she lost her false teeth.  It's amazing how different your face looks when you have no teeth there to fill your mouth out. Instead the skin just hangs, making the person look about 20 years older!!! I hunted high and low and eventually found her upper false teeth underneath her closet! Yay!!!!! Instant youthful...

The mouse...

Last night whilst lying in bed reading some awesome blogs on Scientician I caught a slight movement out of the corner of my eye. I turned to see what it was, and there, scuttling under my linen chest, was a mouse! aaaaiiiieeee! I couldn't move. I watched it as it stopped to get a lay of the surroundings. It then continued on into my closet, to settle, for a moment, in my handbag. I was, by this...

Career Option No.1 - Dog Walker

For the last month I have been not working. For the 3 months prior to that I was working my arse off as a private housekeeper. 13 and 14 hour days rushed off my feet were the norm. I may go into more detail about this at a later date but right now I try not to dwell on the horror that was my summer as it tends to bring on nightmares. Anyhoo. So during my month of bed rest, television and facebook...

Am I a nana?

Am I a nana when:1 I feel a draught coming from a crack in the window and wish I had one of those handy door snakes ( you know those long snake-like things your grandparents put along the bottom of the door to stop draughts).2 I feel like shouting at the boyfriend to turn down his heavy metal and maybe put on something different altogether....maybe silence would be nice.3 I get an urge to knit.4 I...
