Easy Like Sunday Morning

Sunday mornings...........Boring yet so beautiful, A day full of coffee (Till your sick) The newspaper crossword, Playing board games or just lounging on the sofa with a book or watching Sunday T.V. 
 I am currently in the house with just the pooch for company, My partner and son are out doing some shopping for Dinner. 
 It isn't very often my partner and myself are off together and him having a Sunday off is most unusual.
 Lets face it, Sundays were designed for laziness, (although my Son was up at the crack of dawn), Running round the house with the dog like a pair of loons, The dog and my son are like best mates, I have even caught my boy reading a book to the dog in his bedroom, Both of them lied on the bed quite content while Ethan reads "Guess How Much I Love You In The Winter" to the hound.
 My son loves these books and their are four of them. All the same title but ending with the seasons, I.E Guess How Much I Love You In The Summer and so forth. Great read for kids and easy to read to your pets too :) But seriously, These Little Nut Brown Hare books are lovely. Perfect little bedtime stories, My lad has had them since he was two years old, And being cardboard books they are hard wearing, Though my son knows very well to treat books well. He has never ripped or damaged books in any way at all. He has the same outlook on them as his Dad and myself do. Books are lovely and should be kept lovely. 
  These books are an expensive £4.99 EACH or £15.93 for the set, BUT may I add they are well worth the price.

Damn All Housework

This was what I wanted to do today.........(The one above) The one below was what I got......







Weep for me please because my tears have run dry lol,
  It wouldn't be so bad but I had to tackle the worst hated room in the house. My evil kitchen. Its the size of a shoe box and its possessed by an evil demon called "Mess" I hate it in there. Constantly looks cluttered because its so small, We have things stacked on top of other things, (not plates) I mean bread on top of dried pasta and so on and so forth.
  If I could get an Exorcist in for such a thing then I would. Father Merron still around????? 
 Anyway no reading for me, So have sulked all day while my kitchen laughed at me. Yeah, I blew it up. :)

Quitting anti-socialism


Day 14 of not smoking, And boy am I proud of myself, Thing is I feel tetchy and like I want to do something. So yeah I chose running, Cos I actually feel like I could, What I wanted was a bike but the pennies wont stretch so far until after Father Christmas has bled me dry, (I hate that big red dude) I spend all the money and he gets all the credit, Hardly fair is it? 
 Any way, I have seen people running and always thought they never look happy.......They look sweaty and out of breath and unhappy, But I need to shed some of the "I have quit smoking so gonna fill my fat face with anything containing more than 1000 calories over the space of 24 hours because I am bored and have nothing to do with my hands" weight. Not to mention that fact that restless leg syndrome has become really bad since I quit, Something to do with circulation no doubt, But its bleeding annoying. Maybe if I run my little legs off they will be too tired for the twitching at night.
 Then in the new year I can get a bike and cycle them off, At least cyclists look vaguely pleased with themselves.
 I actually cant wait to traumatise people with my swinging jogging flesh. Should be interesting hahaha.

Five People. No Seriously, Just Five

This book at first sight come across as a documentary. Does that make sense? lol. No, But seriously, It looks all........Well I can explain it. 
I mean its not really eye catching is it? C'mon....Look at it......Its.............Boring? Hardly screams "read me" Does it?
 But whats inside? Amazing. 
 In actual fact, The way its written it should perhaps be called Five People You Meet On The Way To Heaven. But I guess that's not practical. The five people are either people you knew in life or people you never actually met but may have had some sort of butterfly effect on their life.
  Makes you think about what really happens when you die.....Why five people? Why so many? Or so few if you prefer.....Is there something special in the number??? Why not a nice even number like six? Or four?
  I got to thinking about that and then thought I would end up as a Five People You Meet In Hell ha ha. The five people you pissed off in life...........Would love to know who they would be.
 This book is not big, I read it in a day and a half, But its really profound. You ever get a chance, Then please read it. I was really impressed but then the written word just impresses me no end. I have read terrible books in my time but Hell I didn't put them down till the very end, Then when I got to the end I calmly put it down and then mutter to myself for several hours about its total crapness.
 Anyway. Read this. I demand it :)

And Blah!

You know when you have one of those days when your REALLY don't know what to do? You could go shopping, but you either skint or its persisting it down....(Both in my case today lol) Or you could stay in where its warm and dry and read a good book, Now there is an idea :),
  See the thing is, I have here a brand new book,all shiny and new, The spine isn't even cracked. Not telling you what it is yet cos then it spoils it. But anyhow, Every time I have sat today to read this book something has happened, You know like being in the shower and someone phones, Sods law isn't it? So either there is someone at the door trying to sell you something you will never use, like a dog scourer or something or they want to sell you new windows at a knock down price you still cant afford. So you eventually get some peace, you lie on the bed and crack open your shiny new book and read the first paragraph or the preface or the introduction, THEN you fall asleep :(.
 There are SO many books out there for me to read and I wont live long enough to read all the ones I wish to read. There are books out there I will never get my hands on, Books that I have always wanted to read and could quite well do without sleeping through it all thank you very much. This book I have here is one such book. Wanted it since I heard about it. NEEDED it lol. And I fell asleep. Typical. So when I wake up its time to go and get my boy from school and you know full well that you ain't gonna be reading till at least nine o clock at night.
 Its like fate isn't it? The phone rings when your in the shower, You get an itchy nose when your hands are full of flour, Something you lost is always in the last place you look and that somewhere safe is so safe you cant even find it yourself lol.
 So now I am going to settle down and read my new book in relative peace and quiet :)

       Goodnight    <3

One Day

Seriously excellent book, Funny, touching and bloody irritating all at the same time.
 Emma and Dexter are in their early 20's and fresh out of University And both with pretty decent degree's, Emma is a Northerner with not a lot of money and Dexter is a rich kids from Oxfordshire, Yeah, Also Dexter is a twat, Completely obnoxious and oblivious to everyone but himself and where his next shag is coming from, Not to forget his biggest worry, What is the most fashionable drug at the time. So sex and drugs are his high life while Emma  slaves away in a Mexican restaurant. Also, Emma is in love with Dex, but his ignorant arse cant see that. 
 So while Dex shags everything with a pulse, Emma sticks around and they become the best of friends. 
 This goes on in the same way for 20 years............................20 bloody years lol, Dex bonking everything that consents and Emma secretly wishing he would settle down with her forever.  
 This book is amazing, Simply unputdownable lol. And when I did put it down I was thinking bout Emma and Dex. 
 I saw this book reviewed on some God awful day time T.V show. A morning one that was on simply because I could not be arsed turning off the Telly and put the radio on, From the word go, the way the presenter was driveling on and on about this story that I was determined NEVER to read it, They were talking about it because it had just been made into a film, That made my resolve never to read it even stronger, But then the darn thing was all over the place, People reading it on the bus, It peered out at me from Book Shop windows, With its bright orange jacket, Like it was grinning at me saying " you know you will, Cos you just have to see what all the fuss is about". Bloody thing, Needless to say, I bought the sodding thing and could not put the beastie down. Anyway I was very disappointed in myself for just fobbing off a book just cos it was shown on daytime T.V. 
 So let this be a lesson to you all and...........(Ew I cant believe I am going to say this) Don't judge a book by who bloody advertises it hahahahahaha. I was pleasantly surprised

Been away???

So yeah, Hi, How are you all?
 Well lets see, I kinda got side tracked and ended up being away from this for longer than I actually thought I had ha ha, How about that. But lets see now, At least I have read some books eh? Wanna hear read about them? Course you bloody do. But its gonna have to wait. Because I have this over whelming urge to tell you why I haven't been here for centuries. Well, See, Nah I'm not saying, Urge has left me he he. But just been busy with things, My son and work. Also trying to do something with my life other than vegetate on Face book playing mind numbing games and stuff. 
  But I intend to start putting a little more effort into this cos I really didn't start this just to get bored and wander off. So we will see. I look forward to getting some more followers and yakking on about rubbish books that I suffered through, and great books that I didn't want to put down, even when I reached the last page
So should be fun.
