Feel great after a nice weekend, felt like I've managed to cram loads in.
Fridag night was great, loads of dancing (like John Travolta if I do say so myself...) and beers, then finished the night at Sarah's with a kebab. Becoming a bit of a traditions I think.
Great night anyway and the band was fantastic. Especially when they played Supersticious and Freak Out. We went nuts on the dancefloor. No wonder my legs are aching today.
Saturday we spend working on the house, putting up CCTV cameras and lights. Looks like a bomb has exploded here in our office, gotta sort this out. Wires and crap everywhere.
X-factor of course on Saturday night and then I popped over to the pub with the lads for a ... lemonade. No more beers for me.
Oh yeah, and I had another kebab for dinner. Two kebabs within 12 hours...cannot be good.
Sunday we spent at Bluewater browsing round lovely things. Found myself a little shrug thing to keep me warm. People were already buying Xmas presents which is a bit worrying.
I am so unorganised when it comes to Christmas. I'm just going to hide under the Christmas Tree until Easter comes. Then Quiz in the evening, but we were useless. 16 out of 25.
Poor Ross has been taken into hospital by the way, kidney stones. Ouchy! So we went round to see him as well. Then went round to take his dogs for a walk as Lorraine had enough to do with no sleep and little Lola.
Tonight its Haaaaalllllloooooowwwweeeeeen. Going round to Canewdon to shake hands with some ghosts. Whoooooo hooooooooooooooo.

Glittering Balls
Good afternoon,
Long time since last entry, just been busy or my life's too boring? Either way, no entries got written!
Friday at last after having spent the week with my nose in books about Flash and ActionScript. To start with I just found Flash completely backwards comparing it to Freehand, and all the tools seemed to work in different ways. But as soon as I got the hang of it, Wham Bam I love it!
And when I got a few ActionScripts working I was even happier.
Love to make little animations and see them move on the screen.
My physio took one look at my back today and said proudly:
Look at that back!
I was sooo pleased! Its back to normal almost (touch wood) and I am really happy and will look after it from now on. She then told me I've got a wonky jaw...and told me to put my fingers in my ears and then open my mouth. Right, I thought, this is a physio's way of joking with their patients.
"So put your fingers in your ears, and open your mouth, then stand on one leg and say WOOF!"
Reluctantly I put my fingers in my ears and opened my mouth. She then told me to feel the jaw-bones as I opened the mouth. And the conclusion we both came to is that my jaw is completely off centre and that I open my mouth with my jaw to the left. Bloody thing, I get my back fixed and now my freaking jaw isn't right! Haha.
But I can definately handle a wonky jaw. But My God, am I going to be perfectly alighned and steamlined when this physio woman is finished with me!!!
Tonight I'm off out again. Yes, twice in a year now! Haha.
Me and Sarah are going out in Southend somewhere to see "Glitterball", a funk-band apparently with "funky" wigs on their heads. Sounds like fun.
I will on the other hand try to drink less of the alcoholic beverages...as I've decided hangovers are not for me anymore. Don't enjoy them one single bit. So just a few little laaaagers for me.
Tomorrow off to Bluewater for...well a cup of coffee and a muffin most likely, as I am trying to save some money. Might have to drop into Sephora and sniff all the lovely potions and lotions in there. Want some of that Jessica Simpson Deserts Stuff, like Body Shimmer that tastes of icecream. Oh yes, give it here!
I also want to tell the world about DermaSponge. Its the most amazing product I've ever tried.
Usually in a month, I have about 10 spots or more dive-bombing onto my face (yes I am 28 and still have spots) but after having done this DermaSponge Microdermabrasion twice my skin feels sooo much better. And I've had maybe 3 spots maximum and they haven't been the same heffaclumps as the previous ones, just nice little cute ones that you can cover in a sec.
So there, DermaSponge rules!
Going to Nykoping again next Saturday. Whopppiiieeedoooo. Coldplay and "kalas" (birthday party for all you uno-linguals) and cheap clothes and my sister of course not to forget.
Off to Stockholm on Monday for the concert and her lovely bf is driving us there and back. Can't wait. Great to be tall at concerts and we'll probably get our own "chill-out picnic area" behind us because we'll block everyone's view and noone stands behind us! Great! No more claustrophobia for us!
I guess that's all for now.
Fingers crossed that I don't like the taste of beer tonight.

Club Riga and Red Wine
Had a brilliant night last night, but less of a brilliant day today...! Had a few drinks in the Cricketers pub along the London Road with Sarah and Sergeant Mac.
We then rumbled on to Club Riga and saw Roy Mette and then the excellent Connie Lush, first Blues band I've ever seen live. It was mind-blowingly good. The singer was only about 5 foot, but god, her voice was unbelievable. Really enjoyed it, boogying away by the bar and some of the couples were up dancing. Such a good atmosphere.
Then staggered past the kebab shop on the way back to Sarah's flat. Back at the flat Sarah decided to give us all a night cap in the shape of a glass of red wine. That was that, Helena was officially drunk and both me and Mac got the hiccups. Great...
So around 2am I rolled into a taxi and hiccupped my way home. Was of course gibber-jabbering complete rubbish to the poor taxi driver. Poor man. Still hiccupping as I entered the house, I decided to hold my breath for as long as I could, felt like a life-time and I probably went blue...but schwisch hiccups dissappeared.
Tiptoed upstairs and must have just crashed into bed. Tried to make out I was not drunk to Steve, but I think he somehow saw through me. Might have been that I stunk of smoke and lager. So off I went to sleep.
But no... Steve woke up around 5am by the dogs barking at someone in the doorway. There was I, standing in the doorway, which I have absolutely no recollection of.
Steve asked me where I had been.
- Nowhere.
- But why are you up? Have you been sick?
- NO.
I was apparently really stroppy and angry with him.
Then I sat down on his side of the bed, on his legs.
- Ouch, you are sitting on my legs.
- NO.
- What are you up to, darling?
- NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!
- Ok ok, why are you sitting on me, why don't you go back to sleep.
- NO.
And then I'd just gone off to my side of the bed and fallen asleep again...
I cannot remember any of this. All I know is that I certainly hadn't been sick and thank god for that. But christ, I am a stroppy sleepwalker!
So today, no surprise, Helena has been slightly under the weather...Spent most of the day in bed or the sofa.
Steve and Barbac at the pub now, doing the quiz. I have just derma-sponged myself (home microdermabrasion kit) and going back to the sofa in a sec.
Nite nite

Blues and Sloe Gin
Our first attempt at making Sloe Gin. Picked about 1 kg of sloes yesterday and froze them over night. Today we got our little bottles and started preparing the sloes for the gin. Had so much fun and for some reason the dogs were drewling by the kitchen table were we sat, to get some sloes. They're not exactly tasty berries...Well they hopefully will be when our 4 bottles of Slow Gin are finished near Christmas. If this is successful then I will make Blackberry Brandy next year. Bring it on! Felt rather like an alcoholic where I stood in the queue at Somerfield at 11am with 2 litres of Gin in my basket. Noooo...I am nooot drinking it for lunch....
All ready to go out for tonight. Going out with Sergeant & Pepper (Mac & Sarah) tonight to a place in Southend to see a Blues Band. Should be good. Love live music but just haven't been to a place like that in ages. A few glasses of wine might be the plan as well. Feels crazy to go out boozing with one policewoman and one sergeant...I'd better behave myself. No slutting around! I had a shower, got dressed, felt great, looked in the mirror...hmm...I think that skirt is a little bit too short...got changed to jeans...that's better. I won't get arrested by my friends now!
Sweden-Croatia, World Cup Qualifier tonight. Go on the Swedes! Hopefully we'll win. Fingers crossed.
Had Peter-the-Electrician from work here today (yep, that IS his name). He's going to put up CCTV cameras around our house and one to cover the main room in our house (that'll be the dog cam). We'll be able to record all camera views on to a computer, and also view each of the cameras over the internet! How good is that?! I'll just keep that view as my screen-saver at work and watch the dogs destroy the house! Nah, but hopefully we'll catch some fishy people on film and I can call Sergeant Pepper to get them arrested. We'll probably just catch some foxes on tape, wandering about in the garden.
Over and out for now.

Oatsodelicious
How come I've never tried Oatsosimple before?! Its delicious! Apple and Raspberry flavoured porridge, 2 minutes in the microwave, Robert's your mum's brother! Yummy stuff. A bit worrying though that when I reached for the packet in the supermarket, so did the carer of the 80 year old in a wheelchair.
-"Which one do you want, dear" he asked her.
- "Apple and Raspberry, please. Two packets" the old lady answered.
So...I thought...well she obviously prefers that one...and I bet she's a bit of a porridge connoisseur!

Wednesday thoughts
Another mid-week, the days zoom past and the weekend is on the horizon.
Me and Steve went to the pub for about 10 minutes last night - downed a double Whiskey and walked back again. Yep, my cold got such a shock I think it died and went away.
"Cannot hold baby until I stop coughing..." so please let me stop coughing!
Hopefully I'll be able to go round this weekend to get a bit closer to Miss Lola.
Tonight its "Lost". Can't wait.
Not a lot exciting happening this week, might do a quiz tonight if I am awake.
Have been doing lots of Bus Numbers and Histories on a website this week, and it seems to send me to sleep. Exhausting to stare at fleet numbers...
Still going to physio for my back. Feels alright at the mo so fingers crossed I am on the road to full recovery.
As you can see, not a lot happening. Will check back in when there's more to report.
