Oh dear. When you have a 'where are you, are you alright' comment left you know you have been a very, very bad blogger.
In my defence I have been working very hard this month. I started a new job (running alongside the myriad of others, job magpie that I am). I'm working as a self-employed researcher for AQA (Any Questions Answered) - visit their website at www.63336.com. Quite literally we answer everything and anything. If you go to the site you can have a free question to demonstrate. Then it is as easy as texting your question to 63336 (£1). A very handy number to keep in your phone for those emergencies when you need to know a traintime/what were the opening words to Bagpuss/who would win a fight; Fern Britten or Anne Diamond. Anything! AQA have answered 9million questions in 3 years.
It sounds horribly smug but I have spent a lot of time this month on my AQA work because it is so enjoyable. Shhh! Don't say that out loud of the 'You Can't Enjoy Your Work' Goblin will come and get me.
The newsheadlines:
- I am loving I'm A Celebrity though I wanted Rodney Marsh to stay in the jungle...forever. Sad bitter misogynist.
- Everytime I try and eat out I have to endure those bloody awful 30 something mothers whose idea of child control is to repeatedly say their child's (poncy) name
- One of the race teams I work with just won their championship and I am so proud of and pleased for them I could explode
- We are currently caring for 2 kittens and a cat with thyroid problems
- Bestest friend Lynne is back from Oz - for good!
- I won a very posh watch. Tried to flog it on ebay but it didn't sell so took it as a sign to keep it for myself. Beki got bling.
- It's official, I worship Martin Lewis at www.moneysavingexpert.com. That website has saved me hundreds if not thousands this year with its fabulous advice.
- I've got new glasses and I love them. The funkiest pair I have ever owned.
And finally. Mum, like many volunteers was sent a small gift in light of the charity we volunteer for having an anniversary. When she opened the box we both looked a bit astounded. Here is the gift
It is, in case you were wondering, a key ring.
It may be indicative of the mindset in this household but our immediate thoughts went to the similarity with this.
Fern Britton v Anne Diamond? Now that I'd pay to watch. "Celebrity Mud Wrestling" - there's some reality TV!
With regard to where your thoughts went, I know two men who've had that done. One screamed like a girl and passed out. The other went off immediately to a bike rally, didn't wash for the three days he was there and got an infection in it

Hmm, I guess I was the only one who thought it looked a bit like a horseshoe?
