A Spaceman Came Travelling

Time for a bit of a weekly update, when I just sat down to do this I knew what I was going to babble on about but my mind has just gone blank so I will try and think of something to type about *lol*.

Well I had a good week last week with seeing Mel and then Lynds and then going to see Maroon 5, you can read all about that in the other blogs I've posted this week.

Thursday night when Nikki as leaving I had a sore throat that had started to throb. As I sat at the computer uploading pictures my throat got worse and by time I went to bed it was agony, really throbbing. I fell asleep for about two hours but I kept on waking up because it was throbbing so much. In the end I came downstairs to see if I could find something to take and found some strepsills so sucked on them and everytime I woke up I put one of those in my mouth and it did help a little with the pain.

When I woke up on the Friday some of the throbbing had gone and with having a Strepsill every hour or so it kept the throbbing down but my throat or rather my tonsils were still hurting. I knew I had mild tonsillitis, I've had it so many times I know when I have it and I avoid going to the docs with it because I have to have them out if I get it again although if I go with mild tonsilitis he might not say I have to have them out. Anyway I didn't go because to be honest I don't fancy having a op right now.

As the day wore on my tonsils hurt and I started to feel more and more under the weather. It was a long and horrible day and I was up till the early hours of the morning because I hate sleeping when I am ill because I have really stressy dreams and hate having them.
I woke up on Saturday with a cold and I wasn't pleased. I felt rough but was thankful I didn't have a runny nose because for me personally that is the worst part of cold and makes me feel dreadful, I felt pretty dreadful as it was but at least my nose wasn't running.
I was so bored on Saturday and there was buggar all on the TV, I ended up watching Spice World....that's how bad the boredom got for me *lol*

I ate only McDonalds too because that is what I seem to crave when I'm ill.
Sunday was probably the worst day of the illness, I woke up feel dreadful but by the end of the day I had started to feel a little better and even managed to sit and write my Christmas cards in the evening so I knew I was starting to get a little better.
Monday again I woke feel a little better and managed to get some things done that needed to be done. I didn't venture out the house though, I hater going out in the cold when I have a cold. It feels horrible.

The first time I ventured out the house was on Tuesday when I was starting to feel more better. I'd come a long way since waking with the full on cold on te Saturday and I as ready to venture out the house and go shopping, where else?!! I had to drive my dad to the otherside of Blackburn because he is looking after his ex bosse's house and animals whilst he was away. We were there ages and then I had to reverse off the drive onto a busy road which I wasn't best pleased about. Then on to Asda and because we were behind time I got marched round there *lol*.

Came home whilst my dad went to the other side of Preston to see a new client and then waited as he rushed back to Blackburn so we could go up to the Windmill for some tea. It was a push to get up there, my dad got here about 8:25 and we swapped seats and I drove us up to the Windmill and basically got our order in just in time. I think I was on another planet that night (I was drugged up with meds) because I kept saying "hi" to everyone who I've seen in there before *lol*.

The chef was well stingy with the food too, well he was with mine anyway, and I didnt get as much hotpot as normal so maybe they didn't really have enough for a full serving or something. I also ended up stealing the pepsi glass I was drinking Appletizer out of. Well the thing is we were leaving and I had lots left and didn't feel like downing it so I just took it home with me *lol*.

Wednesday got some work done and sorted a few things out before going to Asda again, I think I live there at the mo with the amount of times I am going there. We got some decs for the house, mainly tinsel, and bowls and pot pouri. I also got tons of wrapping paper but I've just remembered I've forgot selotape!! Then I had to take my dad across to his ex bosses house again so he could sort things out there and we got stuck in traffic because (a) it was rush hour and (b) because there had been an accident above the road we were going to and it took about 30 minutes to get to that road stopping and starting so much it was doing my head in. We eventually got home and unpacked before going out to the Windmill for food yet again. I am going to get to the point where I never want to cook again because I'd not cooked in over a week and I'm liking it *lol*.

Left the Windmill with another Pepsi glass...well I need a full set now. I think I need to get 3 more medium coke glasses from there also because I only have one Or maybe not!! I think I might get one so then I have 2 matching ones hehe.
Today I got up the earliest of the week even though I was worn out from a week with not enough sleep.....god this sounds so boring *lol*. Then I rushed down the street naked whilst letting off fireworks out of my nostrils before returning to milk the cows and use the milk in my tea

Nah...really got some work done. Did some online shopping for Christmas, faffed about a bit and then went to Asda. YEAH ASDA!!! AGAIN!!! I'm lurvin it ba bab ba bar!! etc etc!! Got Some nice Christmas candles in their own bowl and also loads of those little tea lights but they are Xmas ones which look so nice. Also got another couple pieces of tinsel because it's so cheap.
We were walking round when I spotted a camcorder for £118 so I thought I'm having that for Christmas instead of a mobile because there's nothing wrong with my mobile other than the fact I want a newby *lol*. So we put it in the trolley and the £18 pack that goes with it and we went to buy that and when we got there we found out it was a tape camcorder so I changed my mind because I want a digital one.

Left Asda and popped over to my second favourite shop, NEXT, to find a black vest to go under my dress for weekend (I will explain why in another blog at weekend) and they didn't have one in. Well they had some black ones but they weren't one's to wear under something. I just ended up with a gourgous black necklace.

When I got home, finally!!, I ended up looking for camcorders and found a couple I like so my dad is gonna take me to pick one on Saturday and is gonna end up paying three times more for it but you get what you pay for I guess. I want a mini one that is small enough to fit in my bag and carry round with me.

I'm gonna get a new mobile in the new year because there isn't any rush I guess and I don't mind waiting until I can spend some money on one.
I put up the decs that I bought, I already have some but I just can't be bothered putting tons of them up right now so I just have tinsel up mainly and the other little bits I've picked up and it looks good. I might just pick some more tinsel up because I need 2 more pieces of gold in this room and only have blue and red in the Xmas decs box and I just like it being gold in here.
I'm possibly off to Preston to do some shopping with Lynds in the morning but she has text me and I'm not sure if we are or aren't at the moment so I will have to wait and see. If not then it's work tomorrow and I have to wrap some presents too and send some more Christmas cards and fill out my Open Univsersity Course Application Forms for next Jan, I think I'm doing Art History next year or I might do the Film and Television History...Will have to wait and see now.

Anyway I am off because I've even bored myself with this blow by blow account *lol*.
