Well as you all know it was my sisters birthday on Tuesday. I legged it down town on tuesday afternoon after waiting for a phone call that didnt ring and got her numerous pressies... I ended up getting her a bottle of sanatogen 50+ multi vitamins, a jar of anti wrinkle cream from boots. Thanks Lindsay - i thought it was you thats why i introduced myself!!! I got a clip frame from the poundshop - seeing as i thought id get it thrown at me when she saw the pics that i put in it, i put a load of the worst photos of her i had shrunk them down and printed them out on an A4 sheet and put happy 50th birthday diane at the top, a mug saying she'd hit a milestone birthday, a badge saying i am 50, and her proper pressie was a necklace from m&s...

Well got beat at pool again - im getting worse... I must be doing good though - they asked if i wanted to sign up for the winter season!!! Done sisters 50th birthday card lovely couple of pictures on it. One on xmas day when she was fast asleep on the front - the other when she was partying in dublin and a nice verse - with picture of a fire extinguisher... thank god for publisher and the verses theyve got. Some of you may know her - she used to work in accrington library in the reference department. Just now to get her birthday pressie and leaflets from age concern seeing as shes 50. Wonder if shes making my tea on wednesday? By the way going to the Duke of Wellington tonight to celebrate her birthday. Carvery here i come it was brilliant...

Im hopeless - i know that its nowt new to all of you accywebbers but im now sat here in pain.

This afternoon after waking spug up and getting the grunt from him, and the phone call from a neighbour which i wished her happy birthday and agreed to have her cat tonight and then went over to take her pressie and card over and a brew and chat, as it stayed fine (according to the weather forecast it was supposed to chuck it down today and look at it - its been lovely and sunny and warm) i decided id cut the grass in the back garden. Now spug last year thought it wouldnt take long - well he soon found out what its like!!! So drags the lawn mower out and im sure i disturbed the spiders in there seeing as i saw a miniature herbie come...

Well you all know well whoever reads this spug had a job interview on wednesday and he'd find out on Friday if he got the job or not. He was hoping that he'd get it. He knew what they were looking for and he'd done that job before. He was very hopeful. Well he didnt get it and hes down in the mouth about it as well. It was his first interview since June - except for the one for the temp place. They rang him late on on Friday. Anyway he said he's glad though that he's heard from them even though he hadnt got the job seeing as hes filled application forms in like theres no tomorrow and none had got back to him at all. Anyway hes got another job application form to take in on Tuesday for a different job. So that was that.

Now election...

Oh my have been sat here watching a film that i watched in my teenage years... and my feet are still tapping now.. It was £3 at Tesco Rawtenstall today.

Well spugs had his interview and he'll find out Friday. He says that theres 3 more to be interviewed tomorrow and he was the first to be interviewed. The interview was very informal and its for 13 weeks at first.. So its fingers, legs and everything else crossed except the eyes. Hope he gets it. Hes missed working.

Last time i went to Preston hospital was in January had a cracking visit - drove me nuts. Anyway they said come back in 4 months.. when i went to make the appointment they said they'd be in touch the first appointments they had were 6 months!!!...
