Snow day like a snow day

So today was my day off this week. I almost got talked in (by myself) to going in to do some paperwork I'm meant to be scheduled for but haven't been this week (thanks Jay) but it took me an hour and a half to get the boy to nursery ... so not so much. Thanks, snow!

Do you know how hard it is to push a buggy through 4 inches of the white stuff? The wheels turn from the resistance and the spokes fill with snow and they're duo wheels so the snow plugs the inner section and they turn into small snow ploughs.

It was like, my one golden chance of doing Christmas shopping too, so I thought 'hey, it's a little snow' and went to town. Yeah,buses stopped. Still got shopping (only 4 of my family left to buy for! Before you think I've done no shopping ... I'm buying for at least 15 people) and the nursery called at 2. Shutting at 4. Brilliant. I stranded myself ... I got a disabled taxi to the nursery and shoved boy in, buggy and all. Didn't cost loads considering the weather and the fact we covered half the town. But I'm creamed now.

Oh, and we've had no internet for a while which is totally my excuse for not blogging. That and the fact I practically live at work atm (I'm not going to write about work so much, I'm having an overload).

I'll end on a happy note ... kindle for Christmas! wifi and 3G ... hello solution to my multiple-books-on-holiday dilemma!

Blog,blog,blog

I haven't blogged in ages. I hate that. Sometimes there's stuff I just need to blog. I just haven't had the time to stop lately. This is my first real day off in over 2 weeks. I'm barely sleeping too - in once instance, because I've been given shifts that haven't got 11 hours between them (legal requirement, naughty!) and partly because my boy keeps deciding to share. I can cope with sharing, but he kicks me or strokes me or nuzzles his hand under me and it freaks me out and keeps me up. Plus, I've got a bitch of a cold this morning - I'm dosed up and I've made friends with mr tropicana smooth again, and slept with olbas oil and vicks (although, not sure boy should be breathing in all those menthol fumes) but my sinuses feel rubbish. They make me feel sleepy, which isn't exactly a feat right now.

I see my friends next weekend though! Got to tidy my crap hole of a room (and use my sister's room to store all my crap lol, don't tell my mamma!) buuuuut taco bell in town should be open in time for Joanne coming over. And if not, I'll show you where my current supply of icy cups are coming from ;)

So anyway ... there's not much to talk about. I have a weekend break next weekend, for my friends and Harry Potter, and otherwise I'm working my ass off at work. I have a lovely new white uniform to ruin for work now lol (and a crapload more responsibilities and paperwork, but hey, such is life for an extra 15p an hour)
