Howdy doodles all 10, YES 10 of you. I think I might have to get some extra mugs and drafting in emergency chairs for everyone.
Firstly, I would like to welcome my 10th follower. Hello. I hope you like inane ramblings, cups of tea and the occasional soap box campaign (I don't campaign on behalf of soap boxes, I think they're covered under they're own union), but I occasionally clamber up onto one, rant on for a few minutes and then shuffle off back to my corner. I hope you like it, would you like a cup of tea?
I'm back from a few days of Pride parades, tequila swigging, drag queen chasing, beer slurping, more sequins than you can shake a Febo burger at, fantastic friends weekend in Amsterdam. I went over for Pride and my friend Rob's 40th birthday. It was such a good weekend and I'm cloggy home sick and want to go back again. Before you hear it from anyone else, yes I did get extremely pished on Friday night and chased drag queens around so I could have my photo taken with them. Honestly, I shouldn't be let out in public sometimes.....
I stayed with Garry again who's spare room was my home for 4 nights. I got to see all my gorgeous friends over there, I would name you all personally but you know who you are and as I always say you can't put that much love in a blog post!!
Happy 18th Birthday to Alex Moonen for tomorrow. Have a fantastic Birthday Alex.
So enough of my free flowing whitter, how are you all? Is everyone having a good summer so far, anyone developed webbed feet or trench foot because of all the rain??
Tuesday night is having tea at my folks after work night or HTAMFAWN...not very catchy, might have to work on that I think. Anyway, I was chatting away with my mum and she said to me 'I wouldn't mind one of those Ben Sherman Grills you know'....'do you mean a George Foreman Grill mum?'. Slippery slope, veeeerrrrrry slippery slope. Hello Mum!
Well I think I'll call it a night, I'm going to see what's been happening in the world on the BBC and head off for an early night. I sound such a boring Dolly, I don't blame any of you for deserting me and finding a more interesting blog to read, I won't be offended.
Till next time....x

Rollercoasters are not for the faint hearted....
I've had a roller coaster of a week this week. It's had its emotional highs and lows, turning points and all round general stuff which make each week unique to all the others.
First and foremost I want to send out all my love and support to Mike, Sue and family. I still can't find the appropriate words of comfort for you, but you are in my prayers and I will always be here. Joe will never be alone as he has two of the best parents a child could ever have.
I want to wish Rob a fantastic 40th birthday. It's so comforting to know that I have several years ahead of me before I reach this landmark of a year....though I might not get there at all after all the pisstaking i've been doing this week about Rob's age, hahahaha.
I also want to offer my congratulations to Anthony and Michael who got married last Monday, the day before my birthday. You could have waited an extra day and betrothed yourselves on my birthday!! Anyway, I am so happy for both of them, I've never known two people more suited to each other. I wish you both every happiness for the future...and why wasn't I asked to be a bridesmaid, hmm??
I was going to make this particular blog a social commentary of some ilk or other, but i've not felt the need for it today. Don't worry, my soap box is ready and waiting for an outing which I'm sure will be sooner rather than later...aren't you the lucky ones, haha
I can't believe it's August on Sunday, the summer has flown over so fast...oh wait, what summer, all its done is rain, threaten rain, and stop raining only to start again. Is it any wonder folk emigrate to warmer climbs to escape the threat of trenchfoot and needing to have an umbrella surgically removed from your hand from constant use.
It's been a while since I've shared a nugget of my mum's with you...well, in a bid not to disappoint. My mum was telling me that one of my cousins (who I've not seen since Maggie stopped the school milk) has married a Peruvian girl....from Peruvia! Yup, I think we can safely say there's not much hope for me now is there, and thank god for sat nav!
Before I say ta ra, I wanted to say a thanks to Lisa and Martin for Sunday night and putting up with my endless stream of tears.
Till next time....x

Ssshhhhh.......
I'm going to whisper this as I don't want to jinx it but it looks like we might be in for a nice spell of sunny weather next week. Don't panic I'm not getting my bikini out just yet..or at all, it's actually written into the constitution that I should never be seen in public in swimwear that exposes anymore than 10% of my body!
My Dad's gone back to Germany today to finish his teaching contract before he retires at the end of June. Even though he's been working away for 15 years it still makes me sad when I have to wave him off. My Mum is home for good now and getting stuff sorted for moving into their new des'res at the end of April. They're going to be living 10 minutes up the road so I can pop in for my tea and for company for my Mum, till my Dad's home again. I've spent some proper time with them over Easter and it's been lovely.
I've been trying to battle my way through Shakespeare this week and it's not going well. Much respect to the bard and all but he doesn't half waffle on a bit....sorry but he does, it's been a chewy assignment this one to say the least.
Well it's back to uni on Monday, I'm quite glad as I need to get back into some sort of routine again, and I've missed everyone (well, most people) though with my car being as sick as sick can be, it means I'll have to get up earlier so I can get the bus, I don't mind though, give me my ipod and a window to stare out of and I'm a happy little bunny. I've not got done half of the work I wanted to get done in fact I would probably say I achieved 0.000001% (yes, that much!) of what I wanted to do - 2 slides of a power point presentation and reading isn't really productive, ahh well, it'll all turn out good.
I'm off to Amsterdam for a few days at the end of this month so I'm booking my flight on Monday, I can't wait. It'll be great to catch up with everyone as I've not seen them since last year...thank god for Facebook and Twitter!
Right my gorgeous lovelies I shall leave you to enjoy the rest of your weekend whilst I go in search for some hayfever tablets, I've been sneezing for an hour...damn pollen!
Till next time...x
