so my rats update more than me. what is the world coming to? in my defence there's 6 of them and one of me! they bully me!! they look at me with their cute pleading little eyes and beg for the computer.

so what's new with me?
* my laptop's broken. screen has gone like it did on the old one. not amused. gonna save up and get me a mac book... might take a bit, i've not got much money.

* this is because i've moved out and in with julie. adam's moving in soon. means all my money goes on rent. *sigh*
this is my house, we have all of the top floor - 2 bedrooms, a rat-bedroom, a living room, kitchen and bathroom. tis nice:


* my flat is cold cold cold. the gas card isn't working. grr. we're changing to bills soon, and i can't wait. meanwhile we have to keep topping up the gas card, but yesterday it decided to stop working.

* i'm getting all excited about various weddings and babies happening this year. yah! (and also an engagement that i have been told will happen this year!)

* i cooked gorgeous veggie food for adam, in preparation for when he moves in and turns veggie:


* for new year's we went to the local pub, and every one got a little too drunk:



(this is fluff off julie's feather boa)

i aen't ded

well it's a saturday morning. the folks have just gone away for the weekend. adam's not coming till 2. have the house to myself and it it bliss.

of course i have loads of things i should be doing, but i refuse! i'm only going to do what i want to do. so there. *nods*

i've have been ordered on several occasions to post about my holiday. it was fantastic. did loads of walking (but nothing too strenuous), quite a bit of drinking, very good eatting, and urm...yeah, just generally had a wickedy time.

the beer was goooood :D i'm sure you all know how i like my czech beer, and being in slovakia is the next best thing!

i still need to sort my photos out onto flickr as there's far too many to post here, but here's a few to keep you going:












and if you want photos of my gorgeous ratty girls - go read their blog!

it will be updated again in a few days when their new friends arrive (tomorrow :D)

at what point should i tell my parents there will soon be 4 rats in the household instead of 2?

gorgeous little rescue girlies...

i will update soon.

i will! i will!

even my rattas have updated before me...

i am going on holiday today. hurrah!

it will be fun.

and foreign.

and for a week.

and...urm...yeah

:D

why oh why does it always rain when i want to do something? no fair!!

today, am crawling up the M6 and spending the day in manchester. why drive instead of train? because my gorgeissimo hates trains *sighs*

actually...i'm looking forward to it - haven't had a good long drive in ages. gone are the days of crawling up the M6 to liverpool. especially on deadline day...

i always had the illusion that if i went home for the last week i would get my work done quicker than if i stayed in liverpool...with there obviously being far too many distractions in the land of the scouse. that therory never worked though, and it was always a mad dash up the motorway to get to the school office before 4.


hmmm, guess i better get up and have a shower, and hope i can find some clothes. am going on my happy happy holidays on tuesday, so i've banned myself from wearing the clothes i want to take in case i get them dirty. *laughs at self*

and then there were two...

lil lottie died :(

*cries and cries and cries*

poorly ratta

lil lottie is not well :( i don't know if she'll survive the night. *cries uncontrollably*

she's only little. she's far to young to die :(

but she is very letharic, and has blood in her urine. i don't think the emergency vet knew what she was talking about. plus she prescribed baytril which i didn't think you were supposed to give to rattas under 3 months :/

:( :( :( :(

news no.1: i have a job :D am nicking my friend julie's job when she leaves in september. working for the local rag - express and star. not a fancy journalist job - just typing up the letters and few other bits and bobs - but i can pretend!!

news no.2: the girlies have taken over my laptop - they have their own blog now :O
