Venting My Spleen

Fathers Day.

Most of my friends have been out carefully (or not so carefully) selecting fathers day cards and presents and duely moaning about the price of them or how much theyve had to spend on them.
They speak about the giving of such presents in a flippant way saying things like "well he'd better be grateful" or "he doesnt deserve anything decent this year".
Its all said in good humour and to be honest I know that they love thier dads and only say such things because theyre comfortable with the fact that hes always been there to buy presents for, fix the leaky radiator or sit round the table on a sunday burping or farting.

My dad died 3 years ago,at the age of 64 , I only had him for 29 years and god how I miss him now.
I hate listening to people moan on about the price of a fathers day card Id give up everything I own and pay any price to be able to hand him a card and give him a cuddle.
My dad was the back bone of my family, he was the one man in my life who never ever let me down and always had the right word of advice wether it was what I wanted to hear or not.

He has left an enormous hole in my life and in my heart and I don't think I will ever get over him not being here.
Sometimes it feels like he's been gone so long, he was never here at all. sometimes I wake up in the morning and remember he died and I physically cant breathe.

Don't take the people you love for granted, don't assume they will be here tommorrow. Tell them how you feel about them now, today for if you don't,when they are gone you will for ever have regrets.
Don't moan about the price of a card, buy the most expensive one you can afford for one day youll look back and count all the special occasions that theyve been missing for and wish, just wish that you get that chance just one more time.

Happy Fathers day Dad , I love you

Ding Dong The Witch IS Dead!!!

yihhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, the best £1.50 ive spent in my life has just been my contribution in Graces departure from the big brother house.
For the past few weeks she has bitched, sniped, back stabbed and been totally smarmy to the point where I have very nearly head butted my tv screen.
What a nasty jealous spightful little minx she is and she really thinks she is a nice person and by her own admission not at all bitchy Haaaaa!!!!!!!
Well ding dong the witch is dead !!lets hope and pray that next time little miss sloane ranger is out in public that someone gives her a short sharp slap!!!!!!!.

Is she for real?????

Now I realise that it must have been upsetting for Grace on friday hearing the booing and chanting in favour of her eviction, what amazes me is that she has absoloubtly no understanding of why they should be booing like that.
Obviously she considers herself the 'Housemates friend' despite the times she has riddiculed sniped at and slagged off various members of the house.
Trouble is , shes trying to back peddle now and undertake things to make people realise that shes not like that yet she appears to have forgotton that big brother is exactly that, watching them 24/7 in every room and at every angle. She has come accross to me as a nasty spightful girl who likes her own way and likes to cajoal others into conversations/ actions that they would not normally engage in.
I can totally see how she would be a ring leader and bully/ intimidate people less able to stand up for themselves.
The disapointment on her face and sheer disbelief that someone had stood up against her in the waiting game and won and all she could say was " its cool honastly".
She is a nasty vindictive spoilt little madam who needs t take a long hard look at herself when she comes out and I for 1 will be texting like mad to get her out !!!

God bless little boys

Soooooo I have an 8 year old son who is in his first year of juniors school. He never was very studious and quite frankly to quote a stereo type if he were a woman he'd be a dizzy blonde!!!.
He forgets his lunch box despite handing it to him seconds before he leaves through the door. He miss lays his shoes even though he's just taken them off and Im sure if his head hadn't been secure that would have gone too.

Anyway, a term has gone by and he has bought no homework back from school which im more than a little concerned over.
Ok they have had S.A.T.S and then there was a week of African celebration where they came off timetable and took part in various activities to do with Africa .
These weeks came and went and sure enough his best friend who is in the opposite class to him has been bringing worksheet after work sheet home of maths english and geography.

My curiosity got the better of me this morning and I telelphoned the school (feathers slightly ruffled) ready for a showdown about the lack of homework.
I ate a lot of humble pie when she told me in an indignant tone that "don't you know that he brings himself to the homework club every lunch time to do his homework so that he doesnt have to bring it home and worry you with it, hes told me you cant do maths !!!!!"

The big cake debate

I went to Greggs the cake shop at 5.10 pm the close at 5.30 pm I asked for a steak bake to which they replied " weve sold out of them"
So I chose a sausage roll instead. Whilst I was choosing said sausage roll i watched the counter staff throw away several trays of cakes , biscuits and pies.

When I questioned the conter assistant about it she said " I know its scandalous isnt it, were not allowed to have them , we have to pay for them"!!!!!!

I guess at about 150 cakes and pies went into their bin. The bosses of Greggs would rather bin the goods then sell them at a reduced rate or let the staff benefit from them !

Mad or what?

Whats going on? These terror suspects in London. They've been taken in by our country they have jobs for renownd companies like Royal Mail and Tescos. They live our british ways and even support our football teams.They sit behind our front doors and plot and manufactor these schemes and weapons designed to kill and main the very people they live amongst.

How much are we expected to take? For the sake of appearing politically incorrect are we meant not to speak about this cancer that has wormed it's way into our country? Are we meant to find it a sign of the times that living within these days automatically means we should be nervous of postal bombs and suicide bombers?

what a frightening place to bring children into, if these people have abs no compunction about blowing themselves , their children, members of their families up then they certainly wont think twice about doing it to us!
and why should they? by failing to stop them we are encouraging them!
So Iv'e just returned from a bbq with my ex husband and his new girlfriend.Very very strange oh and his girlfriends ex husband was there with his new girlfriend ity was all a bit surreal. Strange thing I found was that every time he came over to speak to me or my mother she appeared to pat , stroke or rest her hand on him like a reminder for me that he's hers now!
Well you know what hunny , been there done him got the t,shirt and he's my ex for a reason.
Funny also how he fussed around her 2 boys and made sure they had everything they needed yet didnt once ask his own if they wanted a drink or anything to eat.
Men , are deff from Mars!
