Playing Catchup

Oooh I am soooo punny today that it hurts...

Obviously - and due to the complaints I've been getting - 0ddness hadn't been updated for six days.  Shocking, I know, but I did have things to blog, I just never got around to doing it.

For one, I've been staying with Kellie over the weekend, and Thursday I was with her too for her dentist appointment.  Yes folks, someone more of a coward than me.  Before then, I was with Ruth on Wednesday, Kellie again on Tuesday, and...

You know, I'm not actually sure what I did on Monday.

This weekend just gone was really nice once again.  Friday we spent the evening at her local with her friend Kerry and her family...  We weren't there all night, as the kids were with us too (her kids of course, mine were sold off to a rich family in need of chimney sweeps) but had a great time.

And me as ever forced myself to talk and be social, which didn't actually take that long to get into.  I was greeting strangers, talking about pretty much everything, answering questions about me and my life... Oh, and me and Kerrys geek of a brother talked WoW for a while too ;)

Saturday day time we had a wander around town, shipped her kids off, chilled out (watched a chick flick!) and then got ready to go out for the evening.  All afternoon the girls were debating what to do, while me and Kerrys other half, Paul, pretty much nodded and agreed.  We opted for the cinema, and went to see Hancock which was excellent.  Think a fair amount of people didn't like it, but I loved it.

Up yours movie critics.

Sunday was spent lounging in bed till close to midday - watching politicians on the TV get asked a simple Yes/No question, and give a five minute rambling speech that didn't actually answer the question.  Then we showered, shopped, pissed around in the kitchen till I had to come home...

And here we have another pissy moan about the bus company.  As it happens, the last bus I keep missing - they changed their timetables a week or two back - but failed to update the time table at the bus stop.  AND the time table on their own web page.  The drivers were more pissed off than I was thanks to all the complaints they are getting!  However, after a bit of digging, I found a new timetable on a third party website.

So thanks First Bus.  You suck.

Anyhoo.  With Jaysen finishing school tomorrow, the summer holidays are so close I can almost taste them.  And much to the chargrin of the population of Canvey, I am spending the first week of the holidays there. 

Jo and myself have been chatting about the kids and the holidays, and we've worked out we'll pretty much be having both kids together at the same time for a week each.  So, on my way home yesterday I stole both monsters, and Jo will get them back next Sunday.  Easy Peasy.

Except.

Well, this week is going to be AAAAAALL over the place.  Jaysen is at school tomorrow.  Then once I have everything sorted and together, I'll be heading to Kellies.

With Jaysen and Tam
And a suitcase.
And a buggy.
And Sally Dog.

All on the bus.  Yes folks, I intend to get all THAT on a bus, AND to not have any problems.

Wednesday, Kellies kids are at school for their last day, so we'll be out an about.  Then in the evening we're at a kids birthday party.  Then we have to keep them occupied till Saturday - at which point, Kellies oldest is off to his dads, then my lot, plus Kellie and her little one, all my shite - BACK to Basildon, to mine, dumped off here, sorted out, then off to Gemmas for Zóés naming thingiemajigg... 

Yeah, it's exhausting me just thinking about it!

But that's not all - I've got to get the house as tidy as can be in the next fourteen nanoseconds as tomorrow... BUSY!  Up and out, school run, then to Sarahs to... Shave her dog.  Then it's into town and shopping with Ruth.  Then home, with as much clearing up and sorting out as possible before the school run...  THEN to Kellies...

Wish me luck on that...

And lastly, please raise your middle finger in salute to my local council for royally bending me over and inserting things into deep dark holes.  Thanks to them being the most unsympathetic people sitting behind desks, I've not got to sell a couple of kidneys. 

Thanks guys!
