Am definitely not looking.... taking a break from it all..... sorting out other aspects of my life... until thats sorted no point in anything else.

So please dont write asking stuff. I wont be replying. Only on here to keep in contact with friends i have made.

PLEASE READ THE FIRST LINE ABOVE AGAIN.
for the past 4 weeks have had my family visitiing - from Japan. Its been great but exhausting. 3 young uns decending on my house has caused mayhem and chaos. Will I ever track everything down.. I doubt it. but its been great getting to know them better. they leave on Thursday. so this weekend will be spent putting the house back to rights. hopefully. It will certainly be quieter. and i might even get to shower in peace. but I guess i'll miss em too. Wont see them again until 2010 now.... finances permitting. but thats life.
seems I spoke too soon. Now my other ex's mum has passed away. thats the problem with getting older. so another funeral to go to. the last was was a lovely service and went off well. the widow is coping fairly well, cosidering they were married for 69 years! some good news ( thank god!) my grandkids and d-i-l arrive on the 27th. So life will be pretty hectic. 3 lil ones all under 11. but should be fun going swimming - walking in the local woods - visiting people etc. its their first visit to the uk so will be exciting for them. I just hope to be ready for when they arrive. Am sorting out the loft ( 20 years of stuff to sort through) loads being chucked. then can store stuff for my ex once he's put boards down. Will be pleased when its done. hopefully A|LL done by Saturday. fingers crossed.
well, sadly the ex's dad passed away so now have the funeral to go to. My ex ( who's staying with me for a while) is very upset over it and is now writing an eulogy - hes up to 3 pages of prose lots to go. His dad was a lovely old chap. did a lot in his life and achieved a lot too. I was proud to have known him and was very fond of him. Also have had a knock in my car. sadly i drove into another car.... so am carless whilst its fixed. hoping to get it back real soon. not much else to say.... am quite happy in myself at the moment - my family are well.... my son is sorted with his visa....all is good. fingers crossed it stays that way.
time flies - havent been on here so much lately. busy with real life i guess. dumped my job and am so much happier now. I get to see my best pal again. missed her too much. plus I let one dog go as i cant cope with the two. too much fighting. the new dog bullied my pup. couldnt have that so he was rehomed by the rescue. all is well now. had some sad news though. Seems my ex's mum has the big C. not good at all. plus my long term ex has a very poorly dad. two people not happy at the mo. I try to support them as i know what it is to lose a parent having lost both mine within a year of each other. ah well, thats life... you get old.. you die. fact of life you cant change. Am off to a birthday party tomorrow- my pals mum is 80. so thats great!!! should be fun.
Surprisingly i got my luggage, albeit 5 days late, but am just glad to have it back in tact. I have had a busy few days... docs plus opticians. glasses on order.. and blood test and xrays needed. Also sadly I am finding two dogs too much so one is being rehomed. I am not happy about it but its something that has to be done. I shall be very down come monday I am sure. but needs must.
back from two weeks in tokyo visiting the family. was good to see them again. then i flew back to Terminal 5 on Thursday - opening day.. NOT a good move. come tuesday i got my luggage delivered. thank god. now trying to catch up on sleep pattern. but its good to be home.
good weekend. very quiet but satisfying. went 'suite' shopping with a friend and ,ay have chosen a great suite for her - she has to just say yes or no. Did all my ironing - ready for packing... which i will now do on Wednesday night. have to buy easter eggs for the kiddies to take with me. Will be their first i think. Shall also take one for my son - a chocolate lover. Hope they survive the flight. we shall see. Went to the gym again today... enjoyed the work out. though my knees do ache after. but are fine now.
still enjoying the job... almost 3 weeks done. next week off to see my son... A surprise visit to celebrate his birthday. Cant wait. though 12 hour flight is a bit of a drag. Work are even paying me for my holiday. neat. Shall miss my dogs but they are going to the breeder so will be looked after well. Finding things to do every morning before work...ironing-shopping- meeting pals - gardening- the gym - swimming. . keeps me busy which is good. Am enjoying life at the moment. all good. just my health to get sorted now. working on that too...
my second week of working has proved I can do it . not working for 4 years had me worried but no need. I get on with all the customers and everyone is helpful. Hopefully the money earned will be saved for August - for when my family visit from Japan. Though I am off to see them in 2 weeks. i have also now accepted that there is no chance of getting back with my ex. Time to move on. and am happy to do so now. but slowly slowly. all I want is a partner to love and to love me back. Seems a really hard thing to achieve.... but I can wait.
a good week for me. went to the gym, went swimming. upping my exercise to improve my health and hopefully drop some pounds. so far so good. I also had an interview for a p/t job and got it!!!! made me feel pretty good. so i start next week, which means less time on the comp. which will be good for me too. I also managed to get another volunteer job for one morning a week, as i have to give up my thursday job as i will be working afternoons. So all in all, life is looking pretty good!!!!! am a happy lil lady at the moment. Always a good sign.
a quiet week... though did get out with pals to a charity meal. the food was very good. the speaker sent me off to sleep poor man. interesting subject but the bland monotone voice did no justice. we then walked round the village looking in all the antique shops and jewellers. I was extremely good and didnt buy a thing. The other highlight of the week was i 'chatted' with my son on msn. I am sooooo looking forward to surprising him in March when i turn up on his doorstep for his birthday. It will be soooo much fun. Only a 12hour flight to get there but hes worth it. and my ex turned up again.. a surprise visit... stayed over as was too tired to drive home. I fed and watered him. Hes such a good friend now. its wonderful.
well my first rehoming went well, the new owners were terribly nice. hope to stay in touch. they loved lil barney who after his grooming looked very unlike a bichon poor chap. he was almost bald. has to wear a coat else he shivers bless him. my two keep looking for him. but are pleased they have me to themselves again. they aqre worse than lovers. i get followed around the house.... but its nice being loved, albeit by a dog lol . had my ex come stay for 3 days. helping me with diy stuff that i cant do. hes a diamond bloke. cant see me ever not seeing him. hes my bestest mate. but hes an ex. and always will be.
became a volunteer for the bichon rescue. and have my first rehoming to do. Picked him up yesterday- left his owner crying poor lady. but Barney is a sweetie and has taken his move really well. hes happily playing with my two. Saturday he will be groomed as hes not been looked after as he should. then Sunday his new owners come to take him. Hope they are nice. hes a lovely lil chap. very affectionate. but quite demanding. typical boy. lol Think I shall enjoy doing this lil job. Though its tough seeing owners crying.
halfway through January and i have my first funeral of 2008. An aunt. she passed away in her sleep which is something to be said of the best way to go. At least i get to see the rellies again. Always good. Though under diff circumstances would be better. Am spending money on the house having found my self a DIY handy man at last. Hes on a recommendation so hopefully will be good. watch this space. I have a very long list of little jobs needed to be done. I shall be happy when they are all done. so something to look forward to and make me happy.
long time since i last wrote in here. due to illness am sorry to say. one thing after another. no fun. ruined xmas and New Year but i am through it. hoping on way to recovery, though still left with a dry cough. Got my new dog. hes settling in. he and bikki fight all the time, half play half for real. but i guess both being males they will try to sort out who's top dog. they are great company for me though. I am never alone now. and its nice to be fought over lol .
guess i spoke too soon. Lost the pup but am getting a year old dog instead. much better company as my Bikki is also one. also healthwise has been a very bad week. caught a tummy bug from somewhere - possibly Duck... but was so ill i thought i was going to die. scary. But the doc got the chemist to deliver the meds and i am recovering. albeit slowly. I really hate being poorly. makes me feel like a whinger. So, am making a positive move.. i am going to leave the house tomorrow. 1st time in 4 days. yehaaa!!! must post some letters buy food and talk to people. its been real lonely in doors. being contagious isnt funny. but THATS over. YAY!! AND I GET TO COLLECT THE NEW DAWG ON SUNDAY..am sooo happy. excuse the caps.. oops.
glad to say my birthday went well. had lunch with 5 pals... got presents and had my meal paid for - nice surprise. Also got a call to say i am being offered a pup from the bichon rescue so that was a real high spot. I am hoping for a companion for my pup. he gets lonely went left - so a pup will keep him occupied i hope. Cant wait for the call to go collect it. best present i could get. lucky ole me!!!! Stayed it all evening as was pretty tuckered out... as still got the cold but it seems to be abating having taken medicines and pills.
birthday time and what do i get... a damn head cold. not good . just got over one and i get another. lucky me. but i am going to fill myself of stuff to ease the symptoms. not gonna stop me enjoying my birthday - got too much arranged. so.. chemist is first place to go in morning.
am off to visit a friend today. so its a day by the coast. I love the sea. i should move there but... not possible. joined the gym yesterday and boy was it a hard first session. I really am out of condition. but with time i will be much fitter. Am just glad i can use the equipment now, its been a long time. Will also start the swimming regime... I have missed that. so its all forward and upward.
did a very naughty thing and paying for it today.? I ate a WHOLE box of choccies yeaterday.. cos i was really fed up. So now I cant leave the house...my own fault of course.? ?got to be strong.... and wrap the rest up for xmas.. or they wont get their pressies *laffs*? today is another day and i am no longer fed up.? thank god.? Seems i am on good terms with my beloved too.? so am happy again.? dont take much eh?
not long now till xmas and my birthday but i am ready for it. only a couple presents to wrap and I am all done. real early for me. but now i have no worries. and can enjoy the run up. Have two dinners coming up at a really nice upmarket period hotel. gorgeous building.... architecture is amazing. time to dress up in sparkly stuff. i love it. Also got dinner with friends for my birthday. a bit less formal but fun nonetheless. December is a good month for socialising.... i am out with pals a lot. my favourite month i think.
Docs visit went well.. my b/p is down (yahoo) for 2nd time so she is well pleased with me and my weight loss is a good thing too. Life is looking ok at the moment..... somuchso i am clearing out cupboards drawers shelves....de cluttering as much as i can but keeping things that are very sentimental. A good start I think.... but i will continue on a daily basis. am quite a happy girlie at the moment.
tis the season to be jolly..... so why do I have THREE friends losing their parents. guess its out age. but its still sad. I went to one funeral which went very well, was a nice send off for the old lady. but I think my friend will suddenly realise she has no parents at all to go to now. at the moment she has more pressing worries of probate and keeping the family home safe from would be robbers. such a lovely civilised world we live in. Other than that life is good. Each day is a blessing and I intend to enjoy each and every one from now on. life is for living not whinging.
finally I am over the head cold!!!! just the cough to get shot of now. working on that.
Been a busy few days.. funeral.... visiting pals.. etc. but am on an up now I think. Got xmas sorted... always nice to have plans. Presents bought and cards written up. Am on a roll. hoping to get a 2nd dog. from a rescue centre. Have also offered to be a foster mummy to rescued dogs. fingers crossed. busy week ahead. only one day free. most unlike me but hey ho. i will manage. lol nice to be wanted by ppl. even a plumber.
two weeks back and i am still recovering from the most awful head cold and chesty cough. not been happy as confined to the house.. and mostly my bed. kept friends away in case they caught it. so not a very good time. but i did get some little things done round the house. when i got tired i laid down. I laid a lot lol . but am back on my feet and ready to go swimming and having some fun. Have a school reunion on Saturday which should be good. I'll be staying at my Ex's place and going out for a meal at some time. all fun. cant wait.
back from sunny Turkey, had a good holiday. relaxed a lot, read a lot and swam. the swimming was a real bonus as due to my serious illness two years ago i lost the ability to swim and suddenly became scared of being out of my depth. being a water babe before this was not good. but now i have achieved swimming out of my depth.... i am soooooo happppppy. Now I have to try diving. EEK! scary. but its just another challenge. watch this space.
didnt get the job... but am now registered with an agency. on reflection i really dont want to work an 8 hour shift every other weekend. so am now looking for a proper parttime job. and a bit more interesting. Spent last weekend in Worthing again. it makes such a nice change. great having friends in nice coastal towns. back to reality now. ironing to do for my holiday and sorting out what to take. being female this is of course a huge task :) but am soooo looking forward to going. Cant wait to laze around a pool, reading and relaxing. but i will miss my pup. :(
no update due to lack of interesting things to say :( but i have an interview tomorrow for a part time job. and i am so happy to get selected. I dont need the job for the salary but for the social side. getting out of the house and meeting people. So having passed the assessment exam.... its the real interview tomorrow. so must have an early night to look fresh. have already decided whatever i earn goes into a savings account. to pay for holidays and other pleasures. Will be nice not to have to worry. am a happy lil lady. will be happier if i get the position.
a week without the car.... not good but my pal was a brilliant taxi service - bless her. so got some things done.....

good news today. booked my holiday for 30 sept for 10 days in turkey.  in a really nice hotel.  am so looking forward to it.

another crap day. pranged the car AGAIN!!!! this time argued with a lorry and lost. big time! dont believe my luck this week. not a good one for sure!
bad day yesterday.? had a prang in the car.? only little but i feel such a fool. will have to see what kind of bill it is to fix the third parts car. only a lil dent but the way she moaned you'd have thought she was driving a rolls royce not an old L reg car full of rust.? i wasnt pleased with her attitude. ah well. life sucks sometimes.?
The weekend to bude was a success - met two very good friends of my beloved and they seemed to approve of me. the farmhouse was wonderful, very nice hosts. the surrounding areas were beautiful so it was a most enjoyable stay. sadly my partner became very poorly with an abcess on her gum - so we ended up in emergency dentists. the pain was awful. but hopefully the antibiotics have taken and the pain is abating. I believe she has gone to see her own dentist today.. with an extraction in mind. I just hope she is free from pain as it was awful not being able to help. poor girl.
cars!!!! first the window now the brakes. never ending. but my good old ex came up trumps and fixed them hes a darling.
good news today, i am going for a long weekend to cornwall with my loved one. Will be a lovely weekend. bude is beautiful with lovely surrounding areas. We are staying on a working farm. I cant wait. plus my car should be fixed so i am mobile again. thats been tough this week. but I did get m,y new TV. cant wait for it to be set up. also looking forward to meeting my ex dom and his new wife. Will be good to welcome her to the UK. not long now.
a week of gardening - am so pleased with what i have managed to do. and i have had a big sort out of my wardrobes. (always a massive task) i look like i have been in the wars. so many bites from insects and scratches fron errant branches. plus the bruises from bumping into a large tree (lol) almost fell in the pond but managed to miss it. Phew!!! got the pump working. so a very productive week. Am fairly pleased with myself.
spent the weekend with a very good friend in suffolk. two hour drive in rain started the weekend off well! not. but got there safely. I was totally urprised by wehere he lives. its a flat at the bottom of a huge house. he lives in the cellar! theres 16 feet of dirt aboive him before you get to the house. so total soundproofing. its amazing. well laid out and very spacious. a kitchen any woman would drool over. he was very much at home in it as he loves cooking. outside there ia a river running along the property, edged with huge bushes so you cant actully see it. plus a lawned area about 100 foot square. Trees that rustle in the wind. song birds all over. i thought it was wonderful. he took me to the wood he bought in memory of his wife. its a beautiful place and hes making it into a paliative cancer care space for cancer p[atients to come and sit and be at peace. Once the gazebo is up he'll nake a huge pond. he's leaving it very natural though has to have 10 trees taken down as they are in danger of falling on property. oops. thats being done in july sometime. we wondered through it, and it was just soooooo magical. very lovely, with birdsong ringing out. made my day. so glad i made the effort to go visit him. hes a special bloke. a friend for life.
decided at last to have a clear out of stuff. working in a local charity shop is handy. i sort out old nick nacks and take them in on the day i work. so far 4 bags of bits n bobs. the wardrobe will be next.... lots to go. and shoes.... must have quite a few that i can no longer wear cos of the knees. i shall possibly cry .. but no point in holding on to them. i'll see how many pairs go. i must have about 75. typical woman. with only two feet. tee hee. i sold some of the fetish ones but i'll give the 'normal' ones away. all monies go to the RSPCA so its a good cause.
its good to be home. i can actually read signs and understand people around me. and best of all i can sleep at the right time.
back from my holiday.... tired but happy. reunited with my pup who i missed so much. now to catch up with post and friends.
here i am in slighty wet tokyo.  catching up with three adorable g/kids, one errant son and lots of pals.  missing my pup lots but coping.
staying with a friend this week and then with d-i-l next week. so no peace n quiet then haha. its good to be back here, like a second home. if i didnt get lost so easily.
a good week, spent lunch times with pals. and even out a few evenings. much better than sitting at home. its good to meet up with friends. chit chat and catch up. had the pup groomed today. my does he look smart or what. hes even more gorgeous now. i am a happy lady today. got to get all my clothes in the wash tonight ready to pack for my coming trip. and seeing my beloved on sunday too. am very happy at that thought.
back to the vets again - pup has to have his stitches out... Ouch... that is gonna hurt cos they're all on his man hood. i am not going to be able to hold him. bet i end up in tears too. but it must be done. no other plans, just going to be with the pup and comfort him.
had the pup- neutered poor thing - but all better now. spent the last weekend with my beloved. had a wonderful time. Saw my 'new' kitchen. Shes done a fine job. It looks pretty good. all that needs doing is tiling and painting, then a solid wood floor/ should look the dogs bollox. oops sorry bikki. only the bathroom to do and i could be moving in. though i am thinking of selling up and buying my own property in Margate. then i could either live in it or rent it out. time will tell.
another fine week. shame my plans for the weekend went astray but there you go. I had a good weekend with a very good pal, we window shopped and had some very nice lunches. I also had a clear out in my study - it looks very tidy now. so something good came from it. now i have to sort out my shoes ( shudders) need to reduce the numbers. i only got one pair of feet.
its been a beautiful week, very sunny and warm. The weekend in Worthing with a friend was great. Walked up the pier, i love the sea..... though the sea in worthing isnt for swimming. the week has gone fast, with training for the pup going well. but today i woke with a really awful migraine. not good. tried to sleep it off but the pup cried to go out so i gave in and took him out. ended up at my sons ex's house so the pup could play with her dogs. he had a great time bless him. by the time i got home i was sleepy from the strong painkillers i took so i crashed out till 9pm. awoke with NO headache. yay!!!
slow in updating this... not a lot to report.. getting kitchen put into the flat ... next will be the walkin shower in the bathroom. then i will be moving. training with the pup is going well. he sits to command - eventually lol. walk by my side sedately.. which is great. long way to go but we'll get there am sure. he sure is lovable and good company.
whoever said having stitches out dont hurt wants shooting. it damn well hurt.... a lot. but so much better now they are out. i can wiggle my fingers so much more now. so now to get full use back in both hands... a goal!!! yay!!!
up in london for weekend for a change of scenery. my pup loves my ex. it appears. chases him everywhere he goes. and for a non dog loving guy hes being very good. even strokes him. must be mellowing in his old age lol.

i went to dinner at the savoy last night. a wonderful meal with great company and a brilliant after dinner speaker. all in all a lovely evening. my first taste of guinea fowl... was good. next trip is to see my beloved. yehaaaa!!! cant wait.
the hand op went ok, can now use my hand- albeit limited - but its healing nicely. shame i was awake for it. scary that. the doc gave a running commentary to a student. that did not help. my imagination was on overload but it was over in less that 15 minutes. and no blood. the weekend went off ok too, an ex came to help me out and for company. hopefully i will be driving soon again. better be by Friday i got a dinner date at the Savoy Hotel.
16th March.... my sons birthday and my turn to go under the knife again. different op this time. much less a problem. hope it works as it will make life a lot easier. wont be celebrating mothers day either. its a hard day for me but i shant be alone. so i should muddle through. life is going well, one day at a time.. the best way. the pup is still full of energy and teeth!! but i love him dearly. think he has the hump with me as i had him groomed and hes shivering now- short back and sides, poor thing.
another month has flown by. enjoying my pup - sorting out training classes now as hes too cheeky for words. my beloved is busy this weekend sorting out our kitchen... hard at it. so i shall miss her lots. Next week i am back in hospital for a small operation on my right hand. whilst a small one it will cause a problem for me inasmuch as i will be immobilised by it. so have to have a pal come help me eat dress wash etc. but after a week i should be ok to use it again. then am hoping life will be back to normal. onward and upward.
back from a weekend away with my loved one. had a great time apart from a 5 hour journey home - only takes 2 normally - thanks to roadworks. grrrrr but all is well.
my precious pup was dog sat and i missed him.  glad to say hes lying at my feet napping bless him.


what does it take to get through to people? I AM NOT INTERESTED in anyone. i dont mind chatting to people or helping them out IF i can but i do not want a slave or a dom or a fuck mate. i have what i want wrapped in one damn cute package. so DONT email me asking.. i'll block you and ignore your mail CAPICHE?,. OI VEY!!!!
off for a jaunt this weekend. to see a pal who is over from Japan. taking pup with me. first night away from home for him. should be interesting :) will be good for me too. the other half is off to see her buddy too - so we are both busy this weekend. next weekend i go to her the week after she comes to me. cant wait. its going well, best decision i made in 2006. and pup is my best for 2007 so far.
the pup has certainly made a huge difference in my life. almost lost him the other night - he fell off a chair whilst in his carry box. over balanced... it scared me and i felt really sick... but fortunately he was only shaken. he spent 2 hours clinging to me in terror but settled down and slept all night and was back to his bubbly lil self. i am now EXTRA careful with him. guilt is a horrible feeling.
7 days and i am smitten with the pup. best thing i did. hes so affectionate and cute. i dont get lonely now and can sleep with him around. strange how i feel safer and more content. life is much better now. and in 14 days we will out walking together. cant wait!
got my lil boy now. hes so cute and behaving quite well. Vet says he's fine and gave him his first jabs, now hes sleeping it off, while i am on here. he gets very lonely so no time to myself now but it beats being bored. i've posted a picture of him IF they allow it.
back from yet another funeral. my uncle this time. sad but was good to meet up with the surviving family members. shame its almost the only time i see them. resolution.... go visit them before they die!!! was a long journey for me so am now totally bushed. but glad i went to pay my respects. he was married for 57 years to my auntie, so she will be very sad and lost now, though she seems ok. she has two wonderful daughters who will care for her. plus 6 grandchildren and 2 great granchildren. shes a dear old lady too. its a bummer getting old....
got a call today from the bichon rescue saying they are coming to appraise me for a rescue dog. damn. i pick up my pup next week and now i get an offer of a grown dog. i shall take him if offered. will be company for the lil one. lil one is called bicuit so new one will be Tea.. so we'll have tea n biscuit :)
busy monday- physio then hair cut ( call me frank lol ) then off to buy car for pal. she bought it i just drove her to showroom. then to the shops - bought for the dog.... as not allowed to buy for me :( must make room for new stuff. and i cant chuck old out. grrrr must be strong lol .
spent the day getting wet - damn rain - but beats being in doors bored. my partner was working all weekend so had to occupy myself. Sorting out my wardrobe sucks but must be done. *sighs* I hate coathangers.
had the opportunity to save goodbye to my ex Dom. and i am Wishing him a fabulous new life with his new Slave. I hope it works out for you both and wish you every happiness. I hope we can keep in touch. Good Luck and Prosperity.
seems the shingles was very mild. no more rash. so no longer contagious. i am free to roam again. its so boring stuck in doors. am brushing up on dog training and getting all the kit together for baby's arrival. only 17 days to go.... am so excited.
well xmas AND new year went very well. Even managed to confirm the purchase of a lil puppy, to be collected 20 Jan. Cant wait. I Will be so happy to have a pet again. being allergic to dogs is a real pain but this lil critter is ok. its a breed that asthmatics dont react to. lucky me. my lil white bundle of fluff will be loved and spoilt in all the nicest ways. already buying bits for him. like having a new baby arrive. just wish i didnt have shingles to start off the new year. bah humbug so.. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU .....may it bring everything you want.
thanks to my plans being changed. i am now spending xmas with my beloved. a huge family xmas it seems.  i shall be happy here. will be lkike old times. i miss the bg family gatherings of my youth.

may i wish everyone A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS . ENJOY!!!http://www.collarspace.com/htmlarea/smileys/0003.gif" align=absMiddle border=0>
back from a weekend - well 4 days- with the intended inlaws. fortunately it went very well and they think i am 'lovely'. so its looking fantastic. and me and my beloved spent a wonderful time together. bliss!

Am also acquiring an addition to add to my new family. a lil doggie - to be called biscuit - he's only 8 weeks old so have to view and approve and pay a deposit - then collect him mid january. our first dog. am so excited. my own lil ball of fluff. will post a pic when i can.

wishing anyone who reads this a very merry xmas.

seems i faired better than my beloved, SHE had a hangover that lasted all day. told her to never mix beer with red wine.   so no sympathy. lol

had a nice quiet weekend, spent sat in bed as wasnt feeling too bright. but today had a visitor who fixed my comp.  so am a happy bunny again.  only 5 days to go till i get 4 days with my girl.  cant wait..... :)


seems xmas is here... first of the xmas nights out last night. am suffering from tiredness but happy. was a good night out with ex workmates. a lovely chinese meal on a boat. great to catch up with ppl. a really nice bunch  - and all happy for me on the wedding. only problen is i now have another 15 - 20 people wanting to come. gonna be a great party at this rate. fortunately the venue i have in mind takes 150. so should be ok. just. as i have already for 60 on MY list.
weekend went really well. got some very nice presents for my birthday. was thoroughly spoilt by my beloved. spent the entire weekend with her. love her company. shes so restful for me. makes me feel really good. and helps with my recovery a lot. now formally engaged, with the rings too. am happy happy happy. had a great convo with my ex Dom. good news there too. so all in all life aint so bad. i can see the rainbow now. only 12 days till i go see my love again. not too long. with lots of party times in between. xmas nights out abound. great for me. makes the time speed by.
bad start to the weekend!!! best friend in hospital having had a heart attack. NOT good news. then the traffic was awful, weather miserable and to top it they closed the damn road. i was NOT amused but i managed to get where i wanted and back in time for my birthday lunch with my buddies. my first lunch i should say. and this weekend should be good- my beloved is arriving sat. and staying till Monday YAY! three whole days. i am being well and truly spoilt. course i do deserve it *winks* its great being loved.
been a great week. taken it easy on orders. am still enjoying the newness of being loved. this weekend we pick up our rings and get engaged formally on Sunday - my birthday. we have the whole weekend together. cant wait. then i go to visit her and meet the future inlaws. EEEK! thats scary but, as i am such a lil angel am sure things will be fine. (i'll also take chocolates and flowers to soften them up LOL) did my first afternoon voluntary work at the rspca charity shop. was good. great to get out and meet people and its a really nice clean shop. back again next week! yay!
what a gorgeous sunny winters day. went for a ride round the area taking pics of the beautiful trees. autumn is awesome. had lunch at an antique centre. then returned home to hoover my garden. all done.
got teased today ... was hinted at what i am getting for my birthday .. then subject changed. grrrrr i hate that lol. but i bet i love it. Also had a nice chat with my fav Dom Pal. nice to keep in touch. been a funny week, met up with another pal from the past. sad reunion as shes was recently made a widow. left with 4 lil ones to cope with. I shall go visit more often - lend a hand if i can. shes so lost. but trying real hard for the kids sake. Makes me realise how lucky i am .
methinks this site has run its course. no one chats anymore!!! sad. so perhaps its time to stop coming here. shame as there are some really lovely ppl here. time will tell. real life is actually stopping me coming online. which is great . and i am certainly not going to let that go. it rocks.
great weekend. found appropriate rings saturday. hope they will be ready for my birthday. cant wait to wear mine. Things are just going from good to blissful. Have never laughed as much as i do with her, its wonderful, apart from half dying from breathlessness.
all going well. this weekend will be wonderful. seeing my love. Am so happy. getting this 2nd chance cant be wasted.
step one covered on my change in direction, wasnt good but had to be done. glad it was painless on both sides. thanks.
another bright sunny day, but damn its cold, made me cough like a 50 a day smoker.. not attractive!! but i am off out cos life is for living.... and boy am i gonna live it. i'll just have to wear a vest *grins*

amazing i have a cold HE has man flu .... tsk tsk, hope he dont suffer like i have its no fun. get well soon Sir.
sad to say but have decided to leave this 'scene' and pursue something that i know i will benefit from. i shall miss the friends i have made here but real life calls. i may pop back from time to time, and there are those of you i'll contact by phone. thank you for all your support and i wish you all well.
slowly recovering from the dreaded virus, now left with a cough but no infection so thats a bonus. just have to wait it out. :( thank you to the person who mentioned a pandoras box, i tried to reply but you have me blocked.
SIGHS woke this morning feeling like death, somuchso i had to cancel a meeting with someone i am dying to see again. only a head cold but ergh!!!! not a good feeling. so a day in bed after getting some lip sip max. i hate being ill. its no fun. the lemsip is doing the trick i feel better already but am taking it very easy. bed early i think. like 6pm. eek!
saturday already - clean out the boys day - ARGHHHH! but must be done. lovely sunny day but with omnious black clouds. so the garden has to be the first job. being away a month has allowed it to become a jungle. tomorrow will be a good day for me. am meeting my old school friends for a reunion. always a brilliant day out. so no comp tomorrow - YAY!!!!! if you are reading this - have a great day.
not feeling so happy now, think i am in the dog house but dont know why, though of course i could be wrong. ah well. time will tell, i am sure.
back home!!!! yay..... great feeling coming home even at 5am. but slept for 4 hours and woke a fresh. early night to catch up...will do tasks tomorrow when i am a tad more normal.
http://www.collarspace.com/htmlarea/smileys/0020.gif" align=absMiddle border=0>last day of my holiday.  spent it with the family - had a very nice supper with all of them. then home to pack, if it all fits!!!!  think i may be in trouble doing the case up.  bought myself a very nice early birthday AND xmas pressie. but i deserve themt. http://www.collarspace.com/htmlarea/smileys/0016.gif" align=absMiddle border=0> and no-one else would have bought them. ....  hurry up xmas party so  i can show them off.

Off out for dinner tonight with my young cousin and her pal. girlies night out. so should be a laff. I could live here quite easily i think. hmmm. now theres a thought.
a gorgeous day today, bright and sunny, so went to kings Park built to commemorate those lost in the wars. a beautful park, with gorgeous views over Perth city and the swann and canning rivers. then we drove about the city and back home to shop for an hour. ALMOST bought some diamond earrings but the $1450 price mark brought me down to earth. but...... i may go back.cos cant take it with you can you? http://www.collarspace.com/htmlarea/smileys/0009.gif" align=absMiddle border=0>

this week has sped by, been quite nice not being alone.  and getting stuff done in the house too.
good weekend. managed to get shot of a huge armchair ... AND to a worthy home. Seem to have a temporary lodger too. nice to have company. but one who knows when to become scarce. also means i can go on holiday and the rats will be looked after. thats a relief. i am a happy lickle lush now...
great day.. ikea.... only it was crowded and they didnt have my chair in stock... grrrrrr but i did get to see my sister.. yehaaaa
well what do you do when people say one thing but mean another. i really am getting miffed with them. but I refuse to be put off. I shall just move on learning as i go!
a fun filled weekend in london. well. a night at least. old pal of mine married his partner so went to toast the happy couple. then stay night an ex's. nice to chat and relax. then out to lunch next day with he and his new girl. good food, cheap cafe but smashing meal. then a HUGE ice cream at my favourite ice cream place. and now off back home to another wedding reception. too much in one weekend :-) not that i am complaining. oh no.......
sad day.... i sold my bike... boo hoo. but i will replace it when i am able to ride again. when is the only question. *sighs* saw johnny depp film. that cheered me up. phwoah!.....
at last the weather has broken.. its almost chilly today YAY . managed to get out for lunch. met the ex work mates. got back and fell asleep... missed the day completely eek! hope i can sleep tonight...worried about a friend... hope he sorts himself out hes very down. must go and see him soon.... make sure hes ok. a job would cheer him up. as would me.

rat on the loose.. arghhhhhhh.. the lil beggar escaped whilst i was feeding them. set the trap.. fingers crossed he gets hungry.. else next doors cat will have him tomorrow. pets grrrrrr.
its too hot to cope with life..... i wanna go lay down somewhere real cool for a few weeks. whinge whinge whinge
i do wish people would listen when i tell them things. and not read into it what they want to hear. its does my head in grrrrrrr.
life is on the change. seems i may be lucky with a chance email. wish me luck on a new journey. watch this space.
great weekend. party time. on a boat up a beautiful river. was a gorgeous evening. the music was brilliant too disco from the 70's and 80's. had me up and dancing which i havent done for a long while. i enjoyed it a great deal but the legs are playing havoc today!lol so a restful day was had. feeling lots better now and raring to go again. its good to be more active. now if only i could get together with a certain person the week could be perfect. * fingers crossed*
well the week improved. thank god. am now walking almost normal YAY!.... am so pleased i seemed to have just suddenly lost the pain. still not perfect but i can now see the light at the end of the tunnel. had some good company this week. though he beat me at scrabble!!!! *sobs* but thanks for the meals.. not only cooked but washed up. give the boy a gold star. now if the jets would put silencers on it would be pleasant. no chance there!!!
what a day! great end to the week.....popped to a pals for a 'quick' visit ended up staying hours then developed a really bad allergic reaction to her dogs. somuchso i ended up in the emergency room at the local hospital. 3 hours later they let me go having given me steroids intravenously plus antihistamines. my eye still looks i did two rounds with Tyson but at least my bottom lipisnt ballooned up anymore. but an evening i could have done without. spoilt my pals evening. though she insisted it was all good. but shes an angel. phew.. what an end to a week. Bah!
well this week is turning out brilliant!!!! its rained.. (YaY) then my painter turned up to do my hall and bedroom. (long overdue) shame my lunch date got cancelled... but there ya go.. cant help circumstances. Am sure it will happen soon. the sun is back out. drying my washing. sad i know. and i think i am off out tonight , to see a pic. if i can sum up the motivation. i do have some dvd's here. perhaps i'll watch them. decisions decisions. lol but at least i have a smile on my face.
am good today. got to chat to the special man. and am now off to see a special little lady. have a nice clean house too, always a plus. hopes no txts today advising me of further probs. but we shall see :) hope everyone has a great day too!!!!
had a GREAT monday. no details sorry but was yummmmmmmy. then late monday night one of my boys (rats) bit my finger. Ouch!!! bled for ages but was ok.. or so i thought. woke this morning and it was going blue. and a tad painful.. so two houts later i've got antibiotics and had a tetanus. will keep fingers away from the cage in future. lesson learned.
been so busy since back from holiday. bought two new boys. now have 6. but they give me a routine of such and they are great to cuddle and stroke. am very jealous of a certain person who is lazing on a beach.... but i shall be doing it myself again later in the year and possibly earlier in the uk. got an invite to hastings with pals.. be a nice break but i have to consider the boys. cant just traipse off.
phew!!! so much for flying to tenerife for sun. its so hot here!!!! am melting :( but the washing is all done and ironed by my wonderful cleaner. had a busy time so far catching up with pals and family. made a few new friends. hope to meet one tomorrow :-) glad the weather has cooled. boring arent i? lol
oooo a good nightsa sleep - JUST what i needed. now am back to the routine. washing etc. a long day ahead to get everything sorted for my lazy sunday. but its good to be back. ghet nmy boys soon. cant wait to see them. all fattened up i hear. yummy. lots of cuddles coming.
well 10 days in tenerife have done me some good. but cant wait to get back to my bed. and some fresh air for sleeping. last night tonight and lucky me.. got a live bad paying tribute to bob marley right outside my bedroom.   they arent bad as it happens but sure are loud.  ...... been a good holiday apart from some sads news. expected but still not good.  such is life.   back to normal tomorrow.   of a kind.  
got my boys at last. smelly lil things but after a bath and scrub they are cute. two are playfull the other two a bit skittish. time will sort that out. i just love have some perts to care and love. names two.. need two more names. smudge and kinky. ( got a broken tail poor thing).... jorge a possible name or Adam. (lol) one more to think of. hmmmmm better look at them to decide.
i really hate rude people. especially through email. then they block you because they are so cowardly. what a waste of space they are.
not the best start to the week. one of my best pals lost her husband. but.... life goes on for the rest of us. just have to be there for her as much as i can. other than that a quiet week planned.
busy week, visitors and lunches. great.. plus a haircut, a bit on the short side oops. And out everyday this week which is good exercise for the knees. and stops me going nuts.
what a great week weatherwise. most unlike the uk. sunny days.. am off to the local park to read and take pics of some furry lil vermin. not sitting indoors unless i have to. managed to be in 60 mins today so far. now am off out again... yehaaaa 100 pics later .. am home to relax, a lot of walking achieved so my physio will be pleased and hopefully so will He. though he has yet to know. i'll tell him tomorrow with luck.
yay!!!! i am back behind the wheel....am so happy not to have to rely on people. nice to be independent again. also on one stick now. not for long i reckon. so someone will be pleased. i wont drop it. lol its nice to be back to normal. well almost!
must be getting lots better cos am going shopping for 4 hours now. my bank balance isnt too happy but hey.. i deserve new clothes. the old ones dont fit now - thats my excuse and i am sticking to it. nar nar .
spoke to my son- who lives over in tokyo - to discover he has had an accident on his motorbike after work at 130am due to hitting a traffic cone which had somehow rolled to the centre of a road. he came off the bike and slid a long way down the empty road. only by wearing the correct clothing stopped him being seriously injured. but being his mum it scared me silly and of course i got upset over it. stressed out. i am just so gald hes still walking the earth but my initial panics were i think fairly normal. though some people think i am over reacting. i dont agree. the bike is a write off. fortunately my son isnt.
sunday again. but hopefully one i shall enjoy! fingers crossed. shall have to wait and see. its in the hands of fate. at least saturday night was good. a nice surprise. an unexpected outing. and a beautiful meal. yummy. yehaaaa... sunday was indeed a good day.(ty to ???) suffice to say i have a huge smile on my face. and lunch was good too. now relaxing and recouping. thinking to my holiday. mmmmmmmmm cant wait.
hospital again. the nice doc gave me a cortisone injection in my palm to ease trigger finger. owwwwie. not nice but it seems to be doing the job. so a lil pain with a lil gain. worth the trip. plus booked my holiday - only a month to go. sun sea and who knows. cant wait!!!!
very quiet week.... a meet was on then off then on and now off again... but hope next week will prove better. another specialist apt friday. fingers crossed no operation required.but hope to get the finger fixed. and also tomorrow hope to get the holiday for june booked. wish me luck.
a good weekend other than my mums birthday. i miss her so much. but today was really luck to find a photo of her that has been missing for a year. feel like she helped find it. now shes back in place looking over me. probably disapproving but hey you cant win every time. also went to a school reunion so a weekend full of nostalgia, happy memories. plus got approval for an insurance claim so all in all a good weekend. so why am i a lil down? must buck myself up. being unhappy isnt me. onwards and upwards. no looking back.
only 7 more days and i can get these damn sexy white socks off. 6 weeks of wearing them is a nightmare but a neccessity. oh to be able to look grown up again . not to mention to wear real shoes. counting the days.
easter and no eggs. awwwwww. but a visit from my sis was good. she even brought lunch. my favourite too, french bread and ham. yummy. enough for laters too. but as its a holiday weekend no more visitors expected till tuesday so shall have to find something to keep me happy, got some dvds to watch - thanks to a very nice person on here. thank you. you lifesaver.
looking forward.  june ....  holiday time.  decided on portugal.  cant wait.  2weeks on my back.   (now theres a thought) relaxing - odd drink - good food and company. what more could i wish for.  
not a good week - two trips to docs to get my knee less painfuil - to no avail. on antibiotics for 2nd time. my first physio session tonight which i know is going to be bad. so wont be a happy bunny tomorrow as will be very sore. but it must be done else i'll be a wonky lush.  cant have that lol.
time will tell, got plenty of that.  
sunday at last- my first day out.... whooooeeeee - out for lunch with a pal. change of scenery at last.  maybe hard going but i need to start getting out again before i cease up, :-) start with a small journey and build up. else i'll be back in hospital again.

well its all done. went well. lovely bruises not a pretty sight at all. now on the mend. 6 weeks and i should be good to go!!!!! fingers crossed.

thank you to those that sent me good wishes and he that came to see me.  was lovely.

off for my afternoon tea and nap now.
staying with friends till monday then back home.  yehaaaaa.
off to the hospital today - oooerrr. am sure all will go ok this time . will be off line for about 10-14 days.  thanks to all that sent their best wishes. have fun, seeya soon. :-)time to get out my custom crutches.. leopard skin covered. 
busyday - hospital for another blood test - yuck and pre op physio meet - gotto go see police hmmmm. then lots of errands to be done before thursday. plus lunch with a pal. :) thinking of a certain person freezing his butt off in this very cold spell. sends him warm hugs.
another good day.my mood is really up!!! out for lunch with three sisters. lovely meal. nice village.weird that i did not go shopping.
life is looking good.  great day. despite the weather. even though my lunchdate got cancelled.  am just a happy lil sandgirl at the moment :)
am feeling very happy tonight... yay!!! go me.
got things straight in my head. and know my direction now.

only a week to go now.. getting very nervous but with the support of my pals and my special friend i am sure i'll get through the ordeal. al i need now is a live in carer.   not much chance of the but I live in hope.  pma!!!.. only way to go. :-) at least i am still smiling. under orders to be cheerful.. so.. :-) all the way for me.
what a beautiful sunday. the sun is out though i bet its chilly. but its so nice. i am off out to enjoy a real sunday roast. scrummy. just wish i could go out on the bike .. but not yet. hopefully sometime this year.... patience lush. :)

A study conducted by UCLA's Department of Psychiatry has revealed that the kind of face a woman finds attractive on a man can differ depending on where she is in her menstrual cycle.

 For example: If she is ovulating, she is attracted to men with rugged and masculine features. However, if she is menstruating, or menopausal, she tends to prefer a man with scissors lodged in his temple and a bat jammed up his ass while he is on fire.

busy week.. saw the surgeon, who confirmed march 16th for next op.. EEK!  but has to be done.  popped to London ro get my steering sorted. and came home with £200. a huge debt halved.  balance to follow. yehaa!!! that will pay for the new garden firniture i bought.  :-)
normaly i dont like Sundays but today was good.  two net buddies visited and took me to lunch.  very nice afternoon. i love meeting new people. and chrissy has just moved to uk from germany, so was good to finally meet her.  
a great day - started with a short but sweet phone call... the a day  out with my old school buddies.... a fabulous lunch then a quick shop in sunny Esher. saw a lovely dress but thought the price tag of £950 a tad too much... hmmm?
some very nice people out there. thank you for your e-valentine msgs. very gratefully received.
oops spoke too soon i got a media msg... *nice too* and a card today from an ex.  so i feel a little loved now :-) 
hmm some valentines day.. not even an e- card. not that i expected one.... but it would have been nice.  and i had the vase all  ready too.. darn it .. *grins* 
its Saturday, whooooeeee. lucky me, i hope!!!  from 11am..the day will get better .... *grins*...  better go get myself ready.  
hard day for me. an anniversary that will never get easier. but i got through the day fairly well.
i cant believe how nice some of the Doms on here are. i enjoy getting their friendly mails - no word of on your knees .... its a blessed relief.  thank you guys.  :-)
real slow week... hmm wonder why? cold too. way to cold to get out and about for me. but things are looking up... am sure next week will be much better. plus i have to book flights again. to sunny climes. yehaa!
seems another operation is on the cards possibly next month. i know i NEED it. but am dreading it. another 6 months of hobbling around in pain. and no car for 6 weeks. but i shall just have to take the leap and hope for the best. and hope a certain person doesnt give up on me - cant say i would blame him as he's put up with me for a long while being incapacitated which can be a real drain on you. so wish me luck!!
great first week back.. down with the damn flu JUST what i needed, NOT. but am better now and out and about meeting pals and catching up with my favourite people.  
back home. tired but happy. great to sleep in my own bed with all my stuff around me and to be able to drive again. enjoyed the trip though now have to get back to normal.  
almost time to come home - its whizzed by - had a great time but ready to return to my normal life and see all my pals- lots of catching up to do. 
happy new year to all

have escaped for fresh air from a manic pub in tokyo. filled with drunken revellers. but no fights or arguments. just maniacs having fun.

i must return and end the evening with a bang!
boxing day in tokyo.... different i will say that,

xmas day went in a blur of alcoholic haze, getting free drinks all night wasnt a wise move but i had a great time - so i am told - and i never felt the cold.  its great to be here - just need a certain man to warm me up as only he knows how. ah well, not long till jan. perhaps he'll be kind then.  happy holidays to you all. (hugs all round)
i cant get over how nice some people on cm are. i think i might just keep coming on line. worth it, to be cheered up. thanks to you all. for taking the time to chat, most appreciated.
right.. thats xmas done! at last. now have to decide what to take with me on my trip. decisions decisions.. poor lil ole me!!! lol. am so excited.  3 weeks away. how WILL i cope? hmmm hard one that!!! lol :)
quiet day, bloody cold one too. sorted out xmas pressies. all but one done. yehaaaaa... all cards in post too. only 10 days till my trip. cant wait.

its my birthday and am up in london with an ex. having a nice lazy relaxing time. off to the flicks later. then a curry i hope. yummy. cant wait. home tomorrow in time for supper.

Harry Potter was brilliant - enjoyed it more than i thought.. and the curry was orgasmic. mmmmmmm. a good night all in all.
dont you hate it when plans fall through.  guess I'll have to do something else today now.  hmmm well there is always Ikea!!!!  hmmmmm?  perhaps not, too close for comfort.  
at last got my car!!!!  its great to be able to get out and about again without having to depend on people.   freedom is wonderful.. now i can start again. Being housebound is no fun. 
hmmm.. thought i could ignore someone on here but i cant be that rude could stay away but i like the chat so..i hope he finds himself...i dont like to think of him unhappy or down. good luck to you. you know who you are.
booked my next trip to japan. to see my son and his family.  cant wait!!!  but now have to shop for warm clothes its freezing there at xmas.  am a happy lil bunny. :)
drove tonight after 5 months off.  managed real well one handed. great lil gismo to do the indicators- lights- wipers.  cant wait till my own car arrives. i shall be freeeeeeeeeeeee.   the instructor said i did really well.... and have to say i felt great driving again though have to change my driving style.
am impressed by the site. such nice people on  here. making me feel very welcome. thank you people. :)
am being spoilt . its great
am feeling happy for a change. been a difficult year. illness and family problems. but good friends are getting me through this difficult time. took a long awaited holiday which ended up not being what i expected and almost caused an end to a friendship. for which i regret but life moves on... hope to be mobile this week. when the new modified car arrives. no stopping me after that.
