September 01 Well....I've been away for such a long time, I thought it was time to come back.
For those of you that know and remember me, yes I am still alive, I've put my wedding back to March for personal reasons, and they're pretty much the same reasons i've not been around for a while.
I will get round to updating properly later, but for now I just thought I'd let everyone know I'm alive lol April 24 coooooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeWell isnt this a nice lil surprise? You guessed it i'm back!! Thanks to everyone who left me messages whilst I was away, and if you're wondering where I was.......well you'll have to keep guessing
 So it's been a busy month or so for me, I've been up and down the country a few times trying to catch up with old and new friends which is pretty tiring in itself. I've also taken up sleeping as though it's going out of fashion all I seem to do is sleep or think about sleep!!
I have also taken up going out on Thursday nights to The Krazyhouse which takes me almost a week to recover! I seem to have forgotten what it was like to be young. Gone are the days when I could party all weekend, now I go out Thursday, come home around 4ish, take Kian to school and am pretty fecked for a week after that!!
Whilst on the subject I have to say a big thank you to my dancing partner Paul for keeping me dancing all night and laughing at me when I fell over sober!
Also a big thanks to Sammi for yet another wonderful Ann Summers party, full of laughs and a good time had by all.
Just a smallish update for now really, Kians ill
 so have to take up my place on the sofa stroking his head and saying nice things to make him feel better.Now that I have finally gotten around to blogging I will try update again sometime soon and put something of interest on lol
And finally to the wonderful Tim, don't forget you owe me dinner and remember L I V E R P O O L oh to be a Chelsea fan right now pmsl March 26 Happy Mothers DayJust a lil blog to wish everyone a Happy Mothers Day. I've not really done anything as such today wish is an achievment in its self lol
Hope everyone else has enjoyed today March 17 Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona DuitIn other words Happy St Patrick's Day. Yes it's that time of year when for some reason English people become strangely patriotic towards Ireland, yet still are unsure when St George's day is!!!
Before I start with my randomness about St Patrick and a few Irish myths and traditons I'd like to wish Kate a very Happy 25th Birthday and Dave a very happy 57th Birthday (I don't care wht you say you're 57 lol)
St. Patrick lived about 389-461A.D., and is the patron saint of Ireland. Patrick was chiefly responsible for converting the Irish people to Christianity. He became known as the Apostle to the Irish. His Latin name is Patricius.
One of the best known tales tells how he charmed the snakes of Ireland into the sea so that they drowned. Different tales tell of his standing upon a hill, and using a wooden staff, drove the serpents into the sea, banishing them forever from the shores of Ireland. One legend says that one old snake resisted, but the saint overcame it by cunning. He is said to have made a box and invited the reptile to enter. The snake insisted the box was too small and the discussion became very heated. Finally the snake entered the box to prove he was right, whereupon St Patrick slammed the lid and cast the box into the sea. While it is true there are no snakes in Ireland, chances are that there never have been snakes since the time the island was separated from the rest of the continent at the end of the ice age. As in many old pagan religions serpent symbols were common, and possibly even worshipped. Driving the snakes from Ireland was most likely symbolic of putting an end to that pagan practice. According to another tale, Patrick used a three-leaf shamrock to illustrate the idea of the Trinity. Many people believe the shamrock came to be the traditional symbol of Ireland as a result of this legend. Today, his feast day, March 17th is celebrated as a national holiday in Ireland. St. Patrick also introduced the Roman alphabet and Latin literature into Ireland. After his death, about 461AD, Irish monasteries flourished as centers of learning
Some Irish Folklore
When yawning, make the sign of the cross instantly over your mouth, or the evil spirit will make a rush down and take up his abode with you. It is unlucky to offer your right hand in salutation, for thee is an old say, "A curse with the left hand to those we hate, but the right hand to those we honor." If the palm of your hand itches you will be getting money; if the elbow, you will be changing beds.
Irish recipes
Black Velvet (and that lil boy smile, black velvet with that slow southern style.....sorry I always feel the urge to burst into song) Simplest recipe for any drink. Take one champagne flute, half fill it with guiness, top up with champagne, but carefully so that it rests on the guiness and drink......yummiest drink EVER

March 13 ...Do You Have The Time To Listen To Me Whine...Ok so I really am back! Yes, you didn't imagine it I'm back with my waffles and be prepared for me to go on and on haha
So what have I been up to? Well so much has happened the past few weeks, its just where I should start! Spent Saturday night at my friends house until 6am
 had one of those great waffley girlie nights that you just don't want to end! Been having a lot of those lately mainly due to different friends having diff problems, along with my own!I've had my hair 'cut' long since about 2 weeks ago now. I can see all the mens heads ticking and wondering what the feck I'm on about! So for those who don't understand I've had long hair extensions. So I'm now the owner of long black hair, its yet to have any colours in but I'm thinking electric blue
Let me see, what else have I done......Kian had parents evening and everything seems to be going ok, apart from his learning difficulties of course, but he's settled in much better and is actually beginning to learn a few things!
I've got me a social life and spend most free mornings drinking coffee, shopping and erm playin bingo, I know it's pretty sad, but we have fun yay
Its my friends birthday on Friday so more social events for me to attend, hopefully I'll convince her we need to celebrate on Thursday, we have such a big Irish community in and around Liverpool that Friday is def a no go area. Be warned though, I am preparing a St Patricks day blog full of useless information and my fav Irish tipples!!
Have also been discovering lots of new music, so be prepared for all my new tracks on media player, also next week I'm off to see Kaiser Cheifs, so sure I'll have lots of gossip from that
 Well I think that's about all for now, I'm missing neighbours to write this pmsl! I'm still trying to think of something exciting for a real blog, but hopefully I'll get around to visiting most of you later and saying hi at least
Also don't forget to join in with all the lil games on things on my space today I'm promoting the flirting game.....click HERE and h ave a go March 12 CooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeRemember me? Yes I'm still here, somewhere! And this time hopefully I'll be back to stay for a lil while at least!!
Now I just need to find something worth while saying, so maybe I'll be back later.
Thanks for everyone who came by and left me messages, hope everyones ok and I'll be back later with a proper blog February 26 I'm Alive!!Only just mind, but yes I am still alive!
Had so much on the past few weeks with one thing and another, that I've simply not had the time or the energy to say anything, well anything of interest anyway. So I took me a very well deserved break to recharge and maybe come up with some new ideas.
Had a busy few weeks, had some family problems, Kian been off school ill,just been pretty non stop really!
Anyway, just a quickie for now as I'm in soooooo much pain due to a cracked pelvis, and no its not from strange sex acts!! Will get round to a proper blog later
February 13 My WeekendWell what a great weekend I've had! My bestestest friend came to stay with her daughter. I haven't seen her in ages, we live about 100 miles apart and with commitments on both counts its hard to get to see each other as often as we'd like.
So Saturday saw the arrival of Becky and mini me, did a bit of shopping in town before going home to eat and supposedly get ready for the night ahead. So we goes home, gets wine, order pizza and get down to catching up. Kian suddenly becomes ill and we cancel our night out to stay in just in case he gets worse etc.
We ended up having a wicked time, watched films, played Buzz, which of course I won, drank wine and caught up on all the gossip as well as talking about old times.
By the time we went to bed around 1am we were both shattered!
Yesterday, we went out for lunch, ate way too much and started on the vodka around 1pm! It was so nice to be able to go out, relax and just be silly, with someone who knows me so well I dont have to hide anything or say anything, she just knows
Last night we hit the vodka whilst chatting and being silly online! We chatted to a few mutual friends, and took some pics to remember our weekend.
Today sadly Becky and mini me had to leave me  , so that Becky could go to work tomorrow. But I just want to say thank you to Becky for one of the best weekends I've had in ages, she always knows how to cheer me up and is the best friend anyone could ever ask for.February 07 Tuesday Already...Don't really know where my time goes lately. Spent so much time going the gym and trying to catch up with this and that I've had no time for me!
Had an Ann Summers Party on Saturday care of the wonderful Sammi, which was a good giggle. Just a few friends, but just the right number to have a laugh and not be uncomfortable. Oh and according to Sammi's games i'm a dirty bitch lmao
Was planning to go out afterwards but my friends sister was throwing up so someone had to stay with her, Emma if your reading this hope your feeling better lol
Had a really lazy day Sunday, didn't do much at all apart from washing and ironing etc., stayed in my pjs most of the day. Yesterday I had some catching up to do. For some reason last week I didnt get to see Kate much but we made up for it yesterday! We went out for breakfast, had a wonder around some shops, picked out valentines cards, basically really silly things! Went back to Kate's where we didn't stop laughing! i touched her boyfriends erm willy by default and well I didn't half scream lmao. Ok the story is Kate won this willy thing in the raffle on Sunday, paul had it down his jeans being silly, i come along and hold it, until I realised where it had been LMAO
Monday afternoon I took Kian to see a psychologist where they confirmed yes he does have ADHD and they have some concerns with his hearing and autism, but I'm ready for whatever comes next. I have some stuff to fill in, as do his teachers just so they can assess him better and see where we go from there.
To lighten things up.......
And finally.......(at last I here you cry) Strange Than Strange Laws
February 01 Pegging ....Ok since I added my nice google about pegging, eveyone seems to wonder what it is and have their own versions of what it could be, so just for you..........
Pegging is a neologism invented in 2001 that describes a form of anal sex where a female uses a strap-on dildo to penetrate a heterosexual male's anus. This practice may be legally prohibited in places that have sodomy laws. The origin of the term was a winning entry in a June 21, 2001 contest in Dan Savage's Savage Love sex advice column. In the column, it was a specifically heterosexual term; the competition was held after an observation was made that there was no common name for the practice of females penetrating heterosexual men with a dildo. January 30 hmmmNot sure I like this new layout, stil haven't totally figured it out! And I really dont like having to go through ALL my guestbook entries just to find one comment 
Been a busy lil bee the past few weeks, don't know what i've been doing really but I just don't seem to have any spare time.
Did manage to finally go out and celebrate my birthday on Saturday (only a month late!) and had a great time apart from Mr Kosovan, who thought it was acceptable to press his erm love length into my back!
Saturday was also a cause for celebration because.....................Fowlers Back!!! Im soooooooo excited
Just to see him all in red again is like a dream come true, any Liverpool fan will tell you what a total amazing weekend it has been for us! Can't wait for Wednesday just to see him running round Anfield like he belongs
Also have had some rather strange hits this week from different search engines Least they could have done was spelt it right! Why would anyone want to look for a cake made out of big green stick like things?
What is pegging sex? Is it something to do with a washing line? If anyone knows please do tell me!
Is it just me or is this one totally odd? Stalk around? Maybe its just the Monday morning thing but well, I really just don't get it!
Think maybe my space is due for a bit of a revamp while I work out all these lil new things....so look out for something new
Also looking for someone to sit on my lovely hot seat. Nothing too hard, just answer the questions and let us all be nosey! If you fancy it either leave me a comment or email me daftbint@gmail.com
I know I've been really lazy too and will try and get round to visiting people today. I think maybe i've just had another dose of SAD and haven't felt up to much, but I'm back and hopefully staying lol
Hope everyone has a great Monday January 22 Wedding Etiquette....Get me using big words! Anyway I seem to have this lil problem. Most of us are familiar with the basic wedding etiquette, bride wears dress, brides family sit on left, grooms on right, brides dad pays (in my dreams of course!), bridesmaids, bestman blah blah blah
My mum and dad are supposed to be flying over so that my dad can give me away......now we've had some problems with this in the past due to my oldest friend wanting to take part in the wedding. My friend doesnt get on with Darren well enough to be best man or anything, and because I'm being best man at his wedding he feels he should give me away if my dads unavailable. My mum went totally off her head at this idea and thinks its just not the done thing. Anyway to the point, it doesnt look like mum and dad are coming now due to money, dad being in work (they've only had a year to sort it all out like) so who gives me away? My oldest friend wont be coming, cos well he has no money lol. So the rest of my wedding party include 5 bridesmaids, 2 of which are 5, 2 are my sisters in law and my best mate, a best man (darrens brother in law) and an usher who is my best mates other half. Now my best mate is my chief bridesmaid but if my dad doesnt come I'd want her to give me away......so who becomes my cheif bridesmaid? I can't pick between sisters, or do I pick someone else to give me away? Who knew that weddings where this complicated! January 18 The Perfect DressToday I have found THE perfect wedding dress! Not only is it so me it was less than I expected to pay which is a bonus. Took me ages to find a picture of it on the net but eventually I did! I'm going for my first fitting tomorrow and all I have to do now is convince my mum to lend me the deposit haha
Also today I had my first induction at the gym. I think I'm in love and not just with the sexy gym man either! I felt so relaxed and actually had fun! Got my second induction tomorrow for the weight resistance stuff and then will get my personal programme ready for next week. So all in all had an amazing day!
To get a proper look at my dress just click on the lil picture January 16 New Year New Me?Well today I did something I've been meaning to do for a long time and actually almost did once.......I joined the gym! And this time I'm gonna stick at it and do everything the nice man tells me to do.
For a long time I've wanted to do something about getting fit and stuff but I just never had the motivation. So 2006 is going to be a new year for me.
I'm actually looking forward to going the gym (and not just cos the man was proper lush!) I've joined with a friend so that should be a help and hopefully by the time I go out in 12 days time I will have lost an inch or so, and fit comfortablly in the dress I really want to wear!
OMG just 12 days until I actually celebrate my birthday! I'm sooooo excited, my best mates coming from the Midlands and I havent seen her for like 6 months! We're such a pair when we get together nobody is safe! If my last birthday was anything to go by we're going to be in for a good night......just somebody keep me away from the horses! January 14 Have you ever...Switched on the tv and found someone you went to school with starting back at you? I have just ahd the shock of my life after switching on some random Saturday morning show to see lil Danny from my school now in Son of Dork..........I mean what that all about?
Haven't really had much to say this week...spent this week catching up with friends, playing babies and eating cardboard!Yes I have decided to give the kellogs special cardboard diet a try, seeing as its only 2 weeks until I finally manage to celebrate my birthday woohoo. So if anyone happens to be in liverpool on the 28th feel free to come and buy me a birthday drink haha
New hotseat will be coming up sometime over the weekend but in the mean time go ask snoopz some questions
>>>>>HERE<<<<< January 12 Awww how cute...For anyone who didn't across me showing him off on cam yesterday here are some lil pics of Baby Charile. He is just the tinyest cutest thing ever and now I want one! Well just for an hour or so anyway   January 08 Ode To John...Well on my last blog I was left a comment from my bestest friends lovely new fella asking why he was never mentioned in my blogs. So here's something about John aka Paul aka Davo aka whatever name he comes up with next!
So Paul is 21, he's Kates other half of about a month and he can't beat me at buzz! For those who don't know Buzz is a game on the ps2 where you test your music knowledge and our little beloved Paul insisted he could beat me.......sadly he was WRONG
I'd also like to comment on his pizza eating! I dont know many people that can eat a whole 12 inch pizza to their selves in ONE sitting
So there you go John (who really is called Paul) my whole blog about you and if you sit still for long enough I'll take some pics of you and add them January 07 Finally...I have gotten round to changing the music on here! I was having some probs hosting my files but all back to normal now so enjoy the the sounds of We Are Scientists
Also I've managed to update the spaces of my stalking...if theres anyone I've missed off I'm sorry just poke me and I'll add you
In other news....Stage One of my Hen Year will take place on March 11th in Liverpool with the theme Sluts on Parade. Anyone who wants to come, or know more about it just yell January 02 My Year In ReviewWell last year was a very strange one for me. Lots of twists and turns, up and downs...but here are some of the highlights of my 2005.
Januray
8th....My Birthday piss up.......I think there were 16 of us (not to great with numbers), pub crawl and then onto The Krazyhouse for more drinking and dancing. Some of my friends travelled the length of the country to be with me, although some very big cracks did show with a few of my mates not being able to make it
28th... I went with one of my good friends Steve and his friend James to see Green Day in Manchester.
After a few hours of begging a few months earlier in 2004 it was agreed that Steve would buy some tickets for Green Day and as it was my birthday that month I had to go lol. A few belated birthday drinks later from Steve and a very good night was had!
February
Darren and I decided it was time to set a date for our wedding and hold an engagement party in June.
May
Saw us heading off to Ibiza for 2 weeks, to celebrate Kian's 4th birthday. Had a nice holiday and managed to get away with no hospital trips and came home with no broken bones........unlike the year before!
June
18th was our engagement party. Strangely I 'forgot' my camera as did many others so there were no awful pics of me and the things I did! Namely drunken dancing, pushing my sister in law into a door (sorry Mel) whilst wheeling her outside, tying many helium balloons to me and going to a club! Oh and who could forget the drunken speech which Darren gave very well Also on the same date was Steve's birthday and bless his cottons he came to my party instead of going out somewhere to celebrate
July
Well I can't really remember that far back....but there was me telling Tasha she was pregnant, much to her denial.......and who could forget Live 8. I actually didn't get to see it all as I was visiting a friend but we did watch some in our very drunken night lol
Although who could forget the time in July when I decided I wanted to be Barbie! Oh I'm sure you all remember that and if you don't well......see the pics in my photo album
August
What a month! August was the month of the Reading Festival. Sadly I couldn't make V the week before due to having no sitter.....so had to settle for Reading the week later!
I must say it was one of THE highlights of my year. Despite weather warnings we had an amazing weekend, seen soooo many bands and managed to get home in one piece! Although I did drink too much red wine and feel a bit ill
September
Saw me starting my new job, seeing less of my friends, having no time to do pretty much anything due to the fact I was so tired from work!
It was also the month in which Kian started full time school
October Well October was the month Tasha announced her pregnancy, yes all those months after I told her! The rest passed in such a rush, what do I remember about October? Oh yes Halloween!
Halloween is always one of the highlights of my year. I go to the same club most years, have done since I was about 16. NO change this year when I ventured to the Halloween Ball yet again and had a great time dancing, drinking, getting covered in fake blood from hugging people........
November
Well November was a strange one for me. It saw me get a houseguest for a few weeks, although at the time noone knew how long for! Although it was strange having someone share my living space on a permanant basis, we settled in well and had a good few weeks.
December
Christmas shopping galore! Didn't actually DO much during the last month of the year, just prepared for Christmas. Well not before going to see Kian's first ever nativity! Which I surprised myself and didn't cry although he did look soooooooo cute
Christmas we spent with Darren's family. We had a lovely family Christmas apart from poor Mel being ill.
My year ended with Baby Charlie being born on New Year's Eve, just 11 hours too early to help me celebrate my own birthday!
And of course I celebrated 2006 by becoming 25 *sigh* January 01 Congratulations to Tasha...Who gave birth to a baby boy at 13.21 yesterday. Baby Charlie weighed in at 7lb 2oz and if you want to go and give your congratulations just click >>>>>>HERE<<<<<<
Also I want to wish ME a very Merry Quarter of a Century...yes today I turned 25 years old
I hope everyone had a fantastic New Year and that 2006 brings joy and happiness to everyone |
