Up in the Air

Right well 2011 not got off to the start I had originally planned although it is still looking pretty good. I was supposed to be going to work today but I had a bit of a breakthrough on the business front yesterday and I need to start taking some risks, namely my job. So I have decided to get out of bed rather than lying around pondering at 3am, which isn't helpful, and just crack on with it (starting with blog!.......obviously!). I am beginning to think that maybe it isn't insomnia I suffer from but more that I have just lost the ability to sleep. Anyhow on the business front I am currently dipping my toes in trying to be everywhere at once but figure it isn't going to work unless I give it my all it may be a struggle financially but surely that was always going to be the case so here goes nothing pretty much!.......

Feeling a little guilty about my 360 project although I have taken my pictures I will have to load them separately as I haven't quite worked out how to connect my word 10 doc's pictures directly onto the blog and at this moment on top of everything else I simply don't have the time to spend worrying about it. In fact this is the first time I have done it directly through word so no idea how it is going to pan out.

The last few days have been pretty bizarre got stuck at Tesco's on Saturday night. In all my infinite wisdom I decided not to take my handbag and just my phone. My phone is brand new has all my contact numbers on and is fully charged so 'what could possibly go wrong?', leaving my bag at home well that is definitely a first but it is getting a little stupid heavy as I have gone from the extreme of carrying my life around on my shoulder to now actually throwing random things in that I find lying around in a bid to neaten the house up of clutter (we shall see how long that resolution lasts, I do however believe the habit I have just created of throwing even more rubbish into my bag than could ever be necessary is probably here to stay)

I decided that leaving everyone at home watching Harry Hill or whatever it is they watch on a Saturday night, while I went shopping was the best option all around. The idea of faffing around Tesco with George swinging off the trolley with the whole freezer shop to buy wasn't my idea of fun, or hers to be honest I did ask her if she wanted to come but it seems the novelty of shopping with Mum wore off some time ago, no matter how many sweets you may get in return there can be no fair swap for the hell hole that is our local Tesco and so I ventured off alone.

Leisurely walking around the aisles feeling quite calm, completely ignoring the bedlam that is Saturday night Tesco with my music in my ears, yep still working, phone is piping out music so things are good anyhow long story short……… after a good hour or so of shopping, time to get him to come to pay and take me home. My phone has now decided it doesn't want to ring people anymore it wants to be more of a music player and social networking outlet and so the handbag turns out to be an umbrella moment as I don't even have 20p in my pocket. When was the last time you needed a pay phone? Do they even have them anymore? Granted I have become pretty ignorant with age but I can't remember the last time I saw one so I decided to revert back to that ancient art of telepathy and spent a good 10 minutes willing him to call me.

Another £20 later (I really need to work on this throwing stuff into handbags/baskets/trolleys habit as I fear it is kind of getting out of hand) and so I thought I would just ask one of my many Facebook friends to call him. This was great in theory but rather than feeling sorry for myself for another 10 minutes at my lack of friends I just had to accept that I don't actually give out my telephone number out due to the fear I have of it ending up in some junk mail listing where I will get bombarded with calls 24/7. You wouldn't believe the extremes companies go to get your numbers, I do however as junk mail is paying for my Saturday night shopping trip and also pays ours bills and yes on top of that I am also one of those people who harasses people daily on the telephone, for this I apologise and feel it is the least I could do to leave my job immediately without notice whilst hanging my head in shame!...... although to be fair I have taken quite a bit of abuse from you lot over the last 15 years, this can also be translated into months but not only does it feel like years this is also equivalent to the amount of time it has taken from my valuable life, a bit like smoking but so much worse for your health!

Anyhow, I can hear birdsong for the third day running so it's time to post a few pictures as originally planned and then onto my business. Onwards and upwards……….
