I’ve just had a call from one of my new Account Directors. She says that they are having team drinks on Thursday and would like me to come along to meet everyone before I start at PR Agency next Monday.
I. Feel. Sick.
Of course, I warmly replied that I would love to and that I am [...]

I read about this on tender[hooligan]’s blog here and decided that I wanted to also give this guy some coverage just in case his story touches anyone who reads Blue soup.

And then I am out of here.
I feel really weird today. Lethargic. Maybe it’s to do with daylight savings time? Maybe because my weekend was unexpectedly manic but thoroughly enjoyable and now I am down to earth with a bump again. I had toast this morning and that hasn’t helped.

I’m still in the Middle of Nowhere, waiting to be fed dinner before I face the 120 mile drive home. I feel really good though, because Saily is so pleased with the results of our photoshoot. Some of the shots are just wonderful. She is a very pretty girl and good at ignoring the camera [...]

It’s a long story. I am supposed to be in London this weekend, but at lunchtime today, I had to drive down to The Middle of Nowhere to help The Mechanic and his sister, Saily Girl. And this evening, I ended up effectively “babyitting” his other sister, 14-year old Lizbeth… and her guinea pig.

Well, now it looks like this:

So, we have gone from 4 to 2 overnight.
It was time to get tough.
Let’s start with Fire Man. I was in a bad mood last night - the reason why will become clearer by the end of this post - and of the attitude that I just can’t be fucked with fuckwits. I cannot be [...]

So I discovered last night.
I woke up at 6.39 this morning still wearing one knee-high boot and with a packet of Boursin in bed next to me. It appears that I got peckish after going out and getting absolutely smashed with Mr Divorced. I must have gotten home and gone to the fridge to get [...]

Mr TT (ah yes, remember him?) is still a daily highlight in the world of Soupy and he and Jose frequently prop me up with marmite on toast of a cold (sometimes hungover) morning. Today I owe him 10p because I am skint.

Everybody needs a hug sometimes. Everybody needs to know that they are cared for. Everybody needs to know that it’s all going to be alright.
And even if alright doesn’t turn out to be quite what you initially hoped for, alright is what will come through in the end. A little bit of patience and some [...]

The reason you haven’t heard from me in a while (although it is naturally up for debate whether you even care) is because the heap of junk that I laughingly call my VTS decided to die on me over the weekend. A new clutch was in order. Luckily for me, I was stranded in the [...]

Today’s post is to mark that I am now one quarter of a century old.
I am not around to blog today (post actually written on 20/03/08), as I am gallivanting around the country seeing friends and family and generally avoiding doing my Diploma coursework, enjoying the break, and getting more and more excited (scared!!) about [...]

This just got delivered to work for me. The header subject is what was written on the card.
Turns out it is from Mr Divorced!
Wow! Isn’t it gorgeous? It’s enormous and all that chocolate looks sooooo gooooood.
So, what do we all make of that, my soupy friends?

Yes, yes, I am back, calm down already.
The date with Mr Divorced was very nice indeed. As I am off alcohol, I didn’t get pissed and make an idiot of myself - I had been a little worried, I suppose, as the girl he met was drunk as a skunk and he seemed to like [...]

I know you want to hear about my date last night, but this is slightly more pressing…

Some people don’t like rats. But I love my two babies. And when Polly goes daft like this, surely you can see why?

It’s 10am. Soupy feels like death and is in bed having made the very sensible decision of calling in to work sick.

Soupy: Hello?
The Mechanic: Hi baby, how are you?
Soupy: Tired and not feeling well.

I am so bloody annoyed right now, too pissed off to actually put it into words and share it, but I could kill someone right now. The Mechanic has massively fucked me off. Then he got all pathetic on the phone, you know, “oh baby, don’t be angry with me”, and I just blew up [...]

Oh dear. It is all turning rather ugly here. There are disputes over money and I have a mountain of work been dropped on me from on high, with The Boss demanding that it get done before Tuesday. Interesting. This is so not going to happen.

I read this post on Jo’s blog, about the inanity of aspects of Facebook and it has prompted this mini rant. Mobile text messaging has got a lot to answer for, and Facebook now allows cretins to forever chat in a strange “txtspk”. Surely it takes longer to type incorrectly, in this strange language, than [...]

Where has all the love gone?
Where’s the love gone to?

You got me hurting,
Don’t leave
You know it’s never been easy,
to love someone like me,
Oh, don’t leave.

Water makes up something like 60% of the human body by weight.
Healthcare professionals estimate that the average adult human needs to consume between 2 and 2.5 litres of water every day.
Most people fail to drink enough water.
I am certainly guilty of this.
