fuelling diesel row

29Apr08

There’s one hell of a racket going on outside.
Truckers are driving in convoy across Vauxhall Bridge, horns blaring. The convoy is on its way to Park Lane to protest about the soaring price of diesel – up 30% over the past year.

None of us are getting very far with our paper scanning this morning because [...]

98% of donuts rock

26Apr08

I saw my consultant this morning at 9am. The Mechanic sat out in the waiting area, worry etched on his face. The lady consultant said “your boyfriend can come in too if you like?”
“No!” I said somewhat loudly for the quiet hospital. “No, it’s ok. He doesn’t need to see this undignified event.”
The lady consultant [...]

Niggle 1
I had a call yesterday from the Colposcopy sister at my hospital. My 6 month follow up has long been scheduled for next Friday, and for the past couple of weeks, I have felt increasingly anxious about it. I suppose that this is only natural, it’s a fear of the unknown. I have only [...]

top heroine? top heroin, more like

24Apr08

There is definitely something wrong with the youth of today. Amy Winehouse has been voted the “ultimate heroine” by young people in the UK.
What
The
Fuck?
Insanity is clearly gripping the nation’s kids.
Just LOOK at the woman! What a mess. Young people aspire to be like her? Where the hell is society going wrong?

I rest my case.
I am [...]

dip

23Apr08

It’s been a hard day. Felt low from the moment I woke up this morning, so I have struggled with everything. Yesterday ended so well that I was in the office by 8.20am but I just couldn’t get the same vibe. Another day of self doubt.
Plus I had to go to see the doctor again [...]

She decided to wait with hospital patientline for entertainment (along with Zoo and a magazine about motorbikes [...]

accident & emergency – the end of a fragmented friendship

20Apr08

At last.
So, I was in the Middle of Nowhere this weekend as The Mechanic’s best mate, Collett, had arranged to celebrate his 21st birthday in Bournemouth and I had been invited along as The Mechanic’s better half. I headed down there on Friday after work and we spent Saturday milling about the place, fixing his [...]

effing public transport (again)

18Apr08

Oh it feels like the good old days with another rant about transport!!
The trains were absolutely bollocksed this morning. No idea what was going on, but when I got to Little Place, people couldn’t even get up the stairs to the platform and there was a huge mass of commuters waiting in the vestibule area, [...]

Perhaps I have something wrong with my face? Now, woah there people! Before the onslaught begins, I’m simply saying so because there must have been something seriously offensive about me this morning. Did I smell? Was there a big snot bogey hanging from one of my nostrils – could I have done with having the [...]
