Well it was in the compost bin and when I saw it I threw the lid away so when it can't see it now. Also the neighbors cat got in the compost bin after so now I've to go and tell them to keep an eye on the cat.

I'm just have a cup a tea and then I'll have to go look for it wouldn't normally kill a spider but just in case I'll have to do something.

I wish I could get over my fear of spiders, it's so embarrassing how I react to them somethimes.

I can't even stand fake ones, spiders freak the crap out of me. I remember when I was 5 or 6 I became terrified of them after one climbed up my sleave.
I try not to kill them (unless i panic) but I'll trap them under glasses and bowls and wait for someone to come remove them.
Cat could have eaten it? *hopes*

Well seeing as I now know how to upload picture's...here's the coffee cake I made for my dad's birthday.

Dad's cake.JPG

Check out my icing skills...or lack there of, got a bit bored of the whole thing by the time I had to put the icing on.

Stench Blossoms · 23-02-2012 2:27pm

My sister is TERRIFIED of spiders. I bought a fake one and hide it in random places in her room. One day she was feeling brave and wanted to scare me so she put it in my bed.

We were in my room about an hour later and i lift up the covers but I'm not paying attention and don't see it; she see's the fake spider that she put there and screams the house down.

Best.day.ever.

You know what this means? I GET TO PLAY SKYRIM AGAIN!!!!!

YEAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!! :pac:

Lets hope nothing happens to this Graphics card... I got Skyrim for xmas, played it for a few days before my old card died.

Ilyana · 23-02-2012 2:33pm

Oh the joys of writing about 1930s Fianna Fail. I'm already waaay over the wordcount and the tutor is going to mark me terribly anyway because she hates me.

It's not my fault she's a bitter anarchic little woman who makes stupid provocative statements that I feel I must disagree with

And is it just me, or is there something of a mini-heatwave going on?

happy birthday Acoshla

Four hours sleep last night 'cause I thought it'd be a great idea to stay out 'til 4am even though I had to get up at 8am. WHY SO STOOPID?

Essay to write now but I'm so sleepy.

Hate that

Nothing worse than being really sleepy while you're trying to get work done.

My massage on Monday seems to have worked miracles, for the first time in months by back, arms and neck aren't in agony, yay! Going to book another asap.

Boyfriend gave me a birthday card with "To My Wife" with "2b" in tiny writing on it (all cards say wife-to-be etc, he has completely bypassed fiancée except for one Christmas card with fiancé on it, I'm not a boy!), and when I open it it sings Unchained Melody and says "All the fiancee cards were useless"

He's so funny.

A serious cry can really help sometimes, I did that Sunday night.
Hope everything's okay.

Just opened the door to a giant bunch of flowers being delivered from my lovely boyfriend

The local florist must love me (or more my friends and family), they've delivered 4 bouquets to me since November!

Ophiopogon · 23-02-2012 5:11pm

I've never had flowers delivered but I suppose since I'm in the bussiness people don't think I'd want them or something.

Just having wensleydale cheese with pickled onions.

Julybreeze · 23-02-2012 5:13pm

Don't know what happened there, I tried to rephrase my first post to make it less grim but made a bit of a mess of it.

I have this post viral fatigue/migraine/mysterious neurological symptoms going on for almost a year now and it just gets on top of me sometimes. Having a bit of a relapse at the minute, the only cure is rest which get boring after a couple of hours never mind weeks

There's nothing worse than being told to rest when you're used to being active. I had to stay off work last year for a week after fracturing my wrist and it was the longest week EVER. I feel for you.

I had side effects from antibiotics/kidney infection/stress for a year, still have some of the side effects now two years later, I hate when it gets on top of you like that, you feel so defeated and stuck in a never ending rut. Hugs x

Flowers!

Would it be worth getting a 2nd opinion or are you happy enough with the diagnous?

I did that once years ago when I was in the doctor's for foot pain the turned out to be arthritis. Had not slept well for a few days and was in a lot of pain. The doctor just said hello to me and I turned into a sobbing mess. I knew her through work so she actually laughed at me, once she gave the painkillers I could laugh at it too.

Same. My back has actually been really sore on and off for the last few weeks.

How about we say that's why I still haven't started any college work today?!

careymary · 23-02-2012 6:11pm

So I am away and am staying in a hostel at the min, some of the people in the hostel have been keeping a cat, I amnt a fan of cats but they have been keeping him downstairs so I have kept out of it
Yesterday I was on the loo and the cat came darting under the door, stared at me and ran away, I thought that was a bit mad, then this morning the fecking thing was shoved under my shower door, while I was in the shower, it got water on it and went beserk, not fun
I think the are pushing the poor cat into places and thats not fair, I dont even like cats but thats not on............
I think I am going to speak to the hostel manager in the morning, any time I talk to anyone here they all pass it on oh no that's Sarah's cat, or Jane's cat or whoever, I dont want to be involved but I dont want the cat being treated like that, people are strange

Nuggles · 23-02-2012 6:29pm

My mobile phone operator, soon to be former mobile phone operator, has the WORST customer service ever. Tried to get a coverage problem sorted, took them a week to reply to an email, which was just asking what the problem was, despite the email I sent them explaining it. So I wasn't waiting another two weeks for another email.

So feck it, I'll go to an operator who wants my money. But of course, to change I have to go through my original operator. 3 gos on their stupid automated service line, I get a real person. She tells me sure, sure, two days, we'll send you on the code you need. 4Days later, nada. I've no phone for a week now, no response from operator, work trying to call me. Not even going to try the stupid automated service again.

JUST LET ME MOVE NETWORK AND GET ON WITH MY LIFE. It's like having a clingy ex boyfriend.

I want that cake!!!

I actually feel sick with hunger. I was about to get some soup when some family members arrived in unexpectedly

I made the soup and couldn't eat it, it was vile.

Gonna have a cuppa soup now

LenaClaire · 23-02-2012 7:03pm

I am going to lose my mind at work. I got materials documented and signed off in November. I have been working on everything based on that documentation. We go to print in 3 days and NOW they are changing things.

They have been too busy to attend all of our discussion meetings, do not respond to emails and now expect me to change everything. They can bite me :mad:

Bit of grub might sort you out? Hope you're feeling better soon.

Bubblefett · 23-02-2012 7:31pm

Feel better soon Das!

Garg, had a stupid anxiety attack. Was getting ready to go out to my class tonight and the idea of going outside just caused me to go into a complete panic.
Still, glad these attacks are getting less and less and I'm much more able to handle them now. I choose to take conquering each one as a victory.
Exhausted- cuddled up on sofa with dog, hot chocolate and doctor who now. It's my calm down/feel better routine

Was just chatting to an acquaintance who was saying how busy they are with work and I was doing the usual chit chat saying I know exactly what they mean, that I'm up the walls myself, then I get the always lovely "Yes but you don't have two kids as well do you? So you couldn't possibly understand how busy I am, much busier than you". Yep, I have 3 low maintenance animals, I'm lucky like that. :cool:

There are always people who love 'oneupmanship' and always have to have the last word.
"Well, in my job we get given three minutes to do nine 20 page reports, I have to work 67 hours overtime a week, and I have eleven children and nine foster children and my husband is unwell, the car needs a service, the hot water's broken and we think the nanny is stealing our porcelain.
