Sarah Millican here we come
Yay, for the first time this morning I woke up feeling “normal”. I have been suffering this week from a mix of having a bad period and a little irritable bowel syndrome – not a good combo at any time to be honest. Also, I have to say here that if you have just screwed up your face at the mention of “periods” then get a grip – every woman alive has them, so at least 50% of the population knows exactly what I am talking about. (So there).
Ahem, anyway, I felt rubbish all week, but this morning a lie in seemed to do the trick and I felt OK – which was a change because yesterday morning I felt just short of suicidal when my alarm went off. For some reason, my periods are leaving me feeling exhausted and I am just glad I am going to see the specialist next Tuesday. Actually, this is another reason why women shouldn’t suffer in silence, sometimes we are too guilty of just putting up with things and pain becoming a norm. Men might disagree with me about the whole “suffering in silence” thing, but you can insert your own Les Dawson joke here if you feel the need.
Tonight, Moochy and I are off to see Sarah Millican, who is a commedienne that I have come to think of as hilarious. She is on a the Liverpool Playhouse theatre and even though it might be a rush etc etc, it should be good – I’ll let you know. Also this weekend I am having my hair re-straightened, which means that I have a sort of reverse perm……
This is how it worked the very first time I had it done.
So tonight is Sarah Millican, tomorrow is Hair Straightened and then on Sunday we have to walk 10 miles as part of our Shine training. Feck me xxx
Things I have seen…
Today I have three things, one which was slightly disappointing, one which was shocking and one which made me smile inwardly…
Slightly Disappointing
So today Moochy and I have been to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I. Of course we have read the book and we knew the story, but even so, we found the film a little boring… Moochy and I agree that the part of the story where Harry, Hermione and Ron leave Hogwarts gets a bit lost as the forest doesn’t seem like a natural resting place for them. For me there was too much narrative and not enough umpf! Don’t get me wrong, the opening where Mad-eye Moody get killed* and some of the parts in Ministry of Magic were spectacular… but the forest does nothing for me. I love Harry Potter for the magical world and the magical school… I walk the dog in the forest all the time.. there is nothing magical about that.
Shocking
After seeing the film Moochy and I went into St Helens town centre to maybe look for him somthing to send away to Father Christmas. It is at this point you should know that we both LOVE Christmas and I am the self appointed Christmas Fairy. Some people say that as you get older Christmas is all about the kids… well we don’t have any and in our house, Christmas is all about US!!! But I digress, Moochy and I were going into Clarke’s shoe shop which is situated next to McDonalds. We were passing just in time to see a 10 year old boy (max) come out from the burger place and shout loudly to his companion “Come here you freak!” and then he exclaimed “Oh for F*cks Sake!”
Can I just point out again that such profanities came from a boy that was no more than 10. I hope his mother is very proud.
Inward Smile
Peggy with the hiccups. Priceless.

Also, a slight bit of IBS trivia for you…. tonight on our way home from St Helens, I counted 13 places where I could have stopped and gone to the loo on my journey home…
- Pizza Hut
- Cineworld Cinema
- Wetherspoons
- Tesco
- Park Inn Hotel
- Burger King (Retail Park)
- KFC (Matalan)
- Parr Baths/Hong Sing Chinese Restaurant
- Primrose Vaults Pub
- Princess Royal Pub
- The Ship Inn
- The Huntsman
by which time I would be almost home and could probably manage to wait. How geeky am I though xx
