Things I wish today November 9, 2008

In late response to Pink JellyBaby (whose blog I’ve just come across). There are the things I wish today:

I wish Prince Charming didn’t work every Sunday, I wish that we could have more than one day together each week, more time to fit everything/everyone in so that we’d still have more time to spend quality time with each other

In the same vein, I wish Prince Charming didn’t have to work New Year’s Day, that way we could go away to a cottage with my friends for a couple of days

I wish I lived in my own house with Prince Charming so that I wouldn’t have to tidy up after my housemates

I wish my housemate hadn’t eaten a whole tub of my Ben & Jerry’s and not replaced it. You wouldn’t believe how much I’m craving some Bohemian Raspberry now that I can’t have it

I wish I liked Samantha’s new boyfriend. He just really winds me up. And I don’t like the person she is around him

I wish my mum, brother and sister could be happy. I get so worried about them. And can’t do anything to help them. This I wish more than anything

I wish Prince Charming hadn’t asked to put a limit of Christmas presents this year. Just once I wanted him to spare no expense and surprise me with the perfect present

I wish I was still here:

New York last year for Thanksgiving

Bali this summer

Kinsale, Ireland last month

Any chance that any of this will come true?!

Ladybirds October 11, 2008

Sitting at home on the sofa all day today. I’d planned to anyway, but have come down with a stinking cold and tonsillitis again (3rd time in 6 months) so I’m currently feeling sorry for myself, curled up on the sofa watching Miami Ink.

One of my housemate, Carrie, was in the kitchen when she called me in to see the hundreds of ladybirds that had decided to move in through our back door. There were a few dozen black ones – what’s that about?! Anyway, we managed to shut most of them out and killed the rest of them. Not good for my karma I know but they were freaking me out.

Went out last night for Carrie’s birthday. Me and The Girls (Carrie, Samantha and Miranda*) went for dinner then on for drinks where we’d got everyone else to meet us as a suprise. Apparently we’re all pretty bad liars though because she guessed before we got there. Was a really fun night.

Not sure about Samantha’s new boyfriend though, firstly he’s ginger, secondly he’s a techy geek and thirdly he’s just annoying (he blocked our internet during the week just for a laugh. Not funny). Plus he seems to be making her even more untidy than usual. I finally gave in today and cleaned up the plates, glasses and melted ice cream that had been left to dry out on our coffee table which she’d left there since Wednesday night. Minging.

I just don’t get how people can make a mess like that and leave it there for others to clean up. Hurumph

*Carrie = trendy, cool job, been with her boyfriend for 5 years and always has gorgeous shoes. Went to school with her, lived with her at uni and have now been living with her for 2 years back in suburbia.
Samantha = single until very recently, not as promiscuous as the name suggests but no nun. Can be loud when drunk or showing off but grumpy as hell when in a mood. Was Ex-Boyfriend’s best friend, have been living with her for 2 years also
Miranda = trainee lawyer, settled down with boyfriend from school not really fashionable but heart of gold

Yes that does make me Charlotte in character, Tink by name though.
