Our Stash of Goodies

London's Calling

Well back home, had a fab time with the kids.  Successful trip all in all, we even had time to pick up the Gamers Grub and Energy Potions which I have wanted to get my boy for ages.  Pretty amazing shop, always rammed but it is ‘ace’ and brings back lots of memories what with the Retro Sweets and I particularly love the American Candy.  I even managed to wangle a couple of Mr Goodbars (my favourite) into the mix, for yours truly.    

Another discovery today and very excited about this particular find, as apparently the Polish shop down the road sells Cheetos, now they used to sell them everywhere in England years ago and I loved them, but most places phased them out, so I have been searching now for quite some time.….. Whenever the plane touched the tarmac, on the odd occasion I have visited America, they are always my first purchase, quickly followed by Mr Goodbar’s and packets of Big Red.  God love everything Cinnamon based (the Americans get it, why doesn’t everyone else?)

Had a wander around Camden Town, which was unreal, first stop ‘The Electric Ballroom’, which apparently holds a weekend Market, Mark had been to see ‘The Killers’ there when we first started going out, back when he didn’t know who the hell they were! (his musical knowledge starts and ends with Neil Diamond!)  He spent most of the evening propping up the bar and texting me to rub it in!  I could have bought everything in there, well clearly I couldn’t have, but it was all so very me, I want to live in London so badly.  It always makes me feel like I belong, yet at the same time allows you to be invisible, I can just blend into the background which is always somewhere I have felt quite comfortable.  I could definitely, feel the gravitational pull, and spent most of the weekend fighting it! 

We ventured through the Market looking for somewhere Mark could rest his weary head (it was derby day, he just needed a TV) and so we happened to stumble upon a bar, where we had our very own stable, complete with a 3d TV and glasses, pretty much heaven for everyone concerned.  I had my book, Mark had his TV, Georgie had my phone and Thomas his touch.  I spent most of the time wondering who had sat on the seats before me as I imagine they had some really interesting stories to tell. 

I can’t believe I didn’t take my camera though and spent the entire weekend playing around with the stupid little thing on my phone.  I managed to get some okayish pictures; although I am still gutted I missed getting pictures of the kids on the mopeds in Camden Town.

Anyhow managed to get our stash of sweets and a quick look at the Natural History Museum (which we missed off my anal itinerary in July, due to a bout of serious food poisoning, thanks for that Yo Sushi, definitely the first and last time I will be visiting there.  Still haunts me to this day and I haven’t eaten the dreaded sushi since.

Well it did end up costing a lot more than the Valentines meal we had originally planned, but it was so much nicer making a weekend of it, with the kids, after all that is what their memories are made of, and we all had such a fabulous time.  I even found my favourite dinosaur, if it is possible to have one.  Childish - Yes! (see the twowangasorearse!)

Life is something good that happens when you aren't forcing it...........

Erm, Received an interesting job offer since the last post….. did I say offer I meant call - about job, similar in a roundabout kinda way, does sound like a great job though, so fingers crossed!  As it is sort of Sales and erm telephone related was thinking maybe should delete that last post but then hopefully it just demonstrates my ‘ahem’, colourful character, well that is what I’m hoping anyhow….. there will be no deleting of posts.  It is part time which very fits nicely around me, thank you very much and would allow me to get involved in lots of people watching, which will help the writing course and still has to be one of my favourite ever things, apart from the obvious others!

Finally got around to switching facebook off, the other day, it was driving me insane.  I have no desire or need to know what Chris, the one I used to go to school with, decided to have for his tea this evening.  I say no desire, although it has been pretty intense viewing since I switched it on all those years ago, and people have found the confidence and compulsion to share every little aspect of themselves.  It is safe to say there are quite a few nut jobs out there and my heart spends a lot of the rest of the time bleeding for people who try to make everything sound so much more interesting than it really is……….. mine, sometimes dreary, and me being honest!  Now, I get people really don’t need to share so I have spent lots of my time fighting the urge to do it, coupled with a lot of; delete delete, deleting………. during my fb years!  Although, to be fair, I have spent a lot of my time biting my tongue and holding back too, contrary to popular belief……… yes that was holding back!

You could say the blog is doing the same, but I think it sort of isn’t, I have real things to say and not just snippets of little bits of nonsense to shout from a pedestal.  I have reams of nonsense to spout, so I need more room for manoeuvre!  Anyhow, I have to shamefully admit that I have nipped back online a couple of times to see what everyone is up to around 4am (this morning being the second time!) and I was very curious about Chris’ tea this evening.  3 or 4 days cold turkey, not bad for a self-confessed addict (although they do say admitting it is the first hurdle!).  In all my glory decided to keep it online for a few days now as off to London, so I will be away from my computer and I could do with the updates of peoples culinary tastes for the website!  On reflection all I have done is turn facebook off and turned it back on again (I was just checking it was still working!), anyhow I have a train to catch!......... Londinium here we come x
