type='text'>Doctor</title><content type='html'>I saw him last week, we are reducing the meds, think it is time that my head tried to deal with stuff again. I am worried of course, I have not slept for last 3 nights apart from an hour or two, my energy reserve is about to run out, no matter how tired I am as soon as I lay down, I am wide awake and irritated. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feeling sad, but dont think that is too do with meds, I got email from government about strimmers and hogs and it was a load of fucking avoiding wiping our hands of crap. I hear stories about ppl that abuse hogs, set fire to them. A man that had a mum and new born hogs in garden and rang Derick to come get them else he would dig them up and put them out onto the road as he did not want them in his garden. I fucking wish I had been there, he would have had all barrels, I want his name and address to name and shame the bastard, sorry for swearing but it warrants it, I know you will understand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do I really want to bring a child into this world as it is right now? With fuck wits who are uncaring and not worried about anything apart from their own selves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People who lie and cheat for their own gains, no matter what the outcome. To be selfish in my opinion is one of the worse traits a person can have. To just think of you own gain..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Im sad Im tired Im despondent, but have to try, have to try and make this life the people in my life be aware. Its all I can do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and why is it that it is so difficult for me to find love? Why is my life at a stand still, so still I am tripping over it. Others around and I do not begrudge anyone happiness, love..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just when will be my turn huh?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>Love</title><content type='html'>Now it should be the one emotion that we all want in one form or another. Meant to be the best feeling to be loved and to feel love. We love our friends, our favourite song or food, or the man/woman we want to spend our life time with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What happens in my reality though is I fall in love with the wrong ones, not bad ones all the time. In fact this one was completely the right one, I have never met some one that has been so in tune with me. Never met him I know, but the feelings were so real, the talk the laugh the sillyness, the teasing all real. As you know though he is married. I wanted to think really wanted to think that I could handle that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I cant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For some one that I have such strong feelings for (yeah I know it sounds mad) my soul mate (yeah I know), my one true love (if you dont believe that I do not care) the person I have been looking for all my life. How can I be with him when I would not want him to be else where. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its when I lay down that it all comes crashing in. Where is he now, sharing a bed with some one else when he should be in mine. Of course I have no right at all to take him away. I strongly believe that if some one wants to leave their partner then it should be because they want to, not for some one else. I am the one that has the lonely bed, the being on my own and no number of texts or calls or chat could ever make up for that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Knowing me like I kind of do, I will get and already am sulky over this. I will get demanding, demand more time, need and crave more time. Be with me be with me. The times he would be away with his family would kill me, why is it not me there with him. Why is it never fucking me??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seriously is my life just one long piss take. Yep here is a great guy, one you connect with on all levels, but btw you cant and never will have him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have stopped this tonight, I can not bare the thought of my true love ending up hating and resenting me, which is what will happen, with all the will in the world that is what will happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I of course ask myself why I let myself get into this, plus why can I not take it at face value for what it is. Simple really ..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just want some one that will love and only love me and be and only be with me..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tears are rolling, but tomorrow is a new day, time to try and pick myself up again, gets harder each time now, especially as I know deep deep down in my heart there will never be a love like this was and could have been for me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My life is a piss take and Im sick of it, this must be some cruel joke for me to fall like this, find the one and not be able to have. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just can not keep doing this anymore.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-8239520980157419308?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/8239520980157419308/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=8239520980157419308' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/8239520980157419308'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/8239520980157419308'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2008/06/love.html' title='Love'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-2663227126578674248</id><published>2008-06-06T00:00:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2008-06-06T00:07:19.237+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Body tired....mind racing</title><content type='html'>Jan thanks for you comments, I really do appreciate them as this whirlwind is knocking me off my feet some what. I cant help it, the feelings are out of this world, from both sides. Now I have been hurt many times in the past and my initial reaction to any attention is too push away. Of course part of me says, this is crazy do not do it, do not have these feelings, stop now whilst you can (hmm). I have been through it in my mind time and time again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes I could be taken for a ride (been there) could be just a sex thing, could be a weird man who gets off on this kind of thing. Could be the biggest mistake I ever make.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I trust these instincts and I do not feel or think that any of the above are true. It feels like I have come home, I am safe I am loved, I am wanted and cared for. Its amazing I have been waiting for this all my life and now its here, I have to take a chance on it..dont I...would you not?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-2663227126578674248?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/2663227126578674248/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=2663227126578674248' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/2663227126578674248'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/2663227126578674248'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2008/06/body-tiredmind-racing.html' title='Body tired....mind racing'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-3981148118323774481</id><published>2008-06-04T21:02:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2008-06-04T21:02:45.356+01:00</updated><title type='text'>This might sum it up for you,,</title><content type='html'>you know who you are&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yh4UL2gmkew&amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yh4UL2gmkew&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-3981148118323774481?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/3981148118323774481/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=3981148118323774481' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/3981148118323774481'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/3981148118323774481'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2008/06/this-might-sum-it-up-for-you.html' title='This might sum it up for you,,'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-7088472419953812445</id><published>2008-06-04T20:46:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2008-06-04T20:55:26.486+01:00</updated><title type='text'>I know...im sorry</title><content type='html'>Hmmm update did not quite happen, ok holiday was cool, weather not bad. I got an all over tan (yes) uhm broke my phone on the last night..bugger! Now it feels a million years ago since I went!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its been work work work, not sure about the new boss, I dont gel with her. I am finding it difficult at the moment, but I try and just get on with my job, sales are going well and im still a top girl in the area!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hogs are happy, still no sign of Ruby but I like to think of her out there meeting a boy hog and making lots of baby hogs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ninny has practically moved in, I have tried to put her out, told her to go back to her owner but she keeps coming back..silly thing, plus I am allergic to her, not great when she chooses to sleep on my bed!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Phill, Sveta and Nata are fine, have not seen a lot of them this week as I have been trying to catch up with things here. Spoke to Phill earlier who mentioned this. I love being with them and they ask me every day, but I was finding I was getting behind on my chores so its been good to get some stuff done here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some times life throws up some surprises, this has been the case this week. I have been talking to a chap about (some of you will know what and I will blog it at some point) He has blown me away, instant connection which is rare and unnerving to a point. I am not sure what is going to happen, I have said what I would like and what I need, but of course its not that easy, this is my life remember...yeah he is married...However I would not break up a family, this is again a tough one..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Need shower, will try and update again very soon..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-7088472419953812445?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/7088472419953812445/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=7088472419953812445' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/7088472419953812445'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/7088472419953812445'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2008/06/i-knowim-sorry.html' title='I know...im sorry'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-9162355763910180513</id><published>2008-05-28T20:02:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2008-05-28T20:02:56.851+01:00</updated><title type='text'>....</title><content type='html'>......holiday tummy.....loosing holiday fat fast...........&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-9162355763910180513?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/9162355763910180513/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=9162355763910180513' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/9162355763910180513'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/9162355763910180513'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2008/05/blog-post.html' title='....'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-2384709696400276495</id><published>2008-05-26T22:27:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2008-05-26T23:07:03.038+01:00</updated><title type='text'>I am back...</title><content type='html'>...but I want to be away again, very quickly...run down of events, some good some not so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I booked the holiday on the Sunday and early hours of Monday, Phill took me to Stanstead, much preferred than Gatwick or Heathrow thats for sure. Was minutes to missing the flight as the queue for security was so long, my flight had boarded and was just just just in time!! Managed to sleep most of the flight which was cool and I had 3 seats to myself. There was some people on the flight that I found very annoying but I am really trying to stop thinking in that way..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got to the other end and all was fine. I got my taxi and still half asleep I was taken to the place I was staying...and YES they had my booking and I got a wonderful room, really big, my own HUGE private balcony, air-con, fridge etc etc All good I am thinking, weather also nice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was very tired the first few days, think thats always the way, body just needs to shut down, brain switch off and forget about lots of things, well thats me anyway. Found the first three days I mainly slept by the pool on the beach or in my room, I did not even really eat for those days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eventually my body and brain came back to me and I was able to then venture out a little more. There was not that much to do or see in the place I was staying at..oh Portugal by the way..ha ha...Caveriro to be exact but to be honest that was what I was looking for, if there had of been lots and lots to do, I would have beaten myself up for taking time out and relaxing by the pool reading, or going for walks with no real purpose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weather wise, it was not so bad, many people were moaning that it was cloudy or that we had an afternoon of rain. But mostly it was hot and sunny, I even sun bathed topless!!! Food was excellent. I only had breakfast in the hotel, which was ok, again people moaned, but what do they expect..if they wanted the traditional english breakfast why go away to another country that does not get the same type of food that we do. They moaned at having to wait to get to the drink machine, moaned if they had to wait 3 mins to get a table, maybe they should get up earlier, I never really had the same problems. I wish though that they could be taped and have it played back to them, they might realise how silly they sound. But as I said earlier I am trying to be less critical of others, none of us are perfect, but petty moans do make me mad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing though, is women are odd, they are on their sun loungers (yes I was an early type that put my towel out and I am not ashamed to admit it!) Sun is out they are in bikinis or swim suit, sun is covered by cloud they get dressed, trousers, top etc...two mins later sun is out, they undress, two mins later cloud they dress again...whats that all about??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I will finish this tomorrow as I am tired, had crap bad day and just want to have nice bath and put head down...to be continued..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-2384709696400276495?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/2384709696400276495/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=2384709696400276495' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/2384709696400276495'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/2384709696400276495'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2008/05/i-am-back.html' title='I am back...'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-6122116282799040670</id><published>2008-05-19T03:03:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2008-05-19T03:04:42.697+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Passport is packed</title><content type='html'>Im off to spend a week on a beach, hope the weather is kind to me...really need to recharge the old batteries...have house and hog sitter coming..yay..best get ready to fly..see you soon...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-6122116282799040670?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/6122116282799040670/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=6122116282799040670' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/6122116282799040670'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/6122116282799040670'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2008/05/passport-is-packed.html' title='Passport is packed'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-7679240037213075670</id><published>2008-05-18T04:22:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2008-05-18T04:34:56.808+01:00</updated><title type='text'>not sleepy</title><content type='html'>Its gone 4 am, been on Internet for good while now....catching up on stuff, looking at stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forgot to say on previous blog I am teaching Nata!!! You would not imagine what she has to know before school in September, has to be able to read, write, add up etc...different in my day!! Plus now its all the phonics, I am learning that myself at the moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember this is a four year old Russian girl, her English is coming along a treat, but I am working hard and some times a little mean with her when she wont sit and learn..I take away her gold stars..yeah sounds mean, but she is behind as she is not English and I will not have that. Not as I want her to be some child genius, but I know how hard school is, as we all do and if you are different or behind, sorry but you don't have much chance plus it leaves you open..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nata is a bright girl though and is picking it up lovely, we are doing numbers right now. However some she does right backwards as some Russian is written backwards. Good job they are sponges at this age..we are also learning a little french, I want the best for her, want her to be a success, have a real happy and fulfilled life. That is why I spend so much time with them..they are my family. For once I have a real family that cares and loves me. They want to spend time with me, its hard for me to deal with at times as I am not used to it, but I do really enjoy it. The feelings that I am part of that family an important part makes me smile big time!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its letters soon....OH BOY that will be hard I know...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-7679240037213075670?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/7679240037213075670/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=7679240037213075670' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/7679240037213075670'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/7679240037213075670'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2008/05/not-sleepy.html' title='not sleepy'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-4284436849904033682</id><published>2008-05-18T00:58:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2008-05-18T01:08:02.192+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Honest....</title><content type='html'>...guv's I am ok, really well apart from...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally clearing the sinus infection after 4 weeks of hell, to start hay fever season.

For my dizziness and fainting spells, which he puts to the fact I had the sinus thing and bad ear ache he has given me some pills which have worked a treat, they are for vertigo and anxiety...at least now my forehead will be saved another cut from walking/falling into the door...yeah a bonny sight I am!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having no man again, Im ok about, I miss him of course but well if it was meant to be and all that...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ninny woke me this morning, she must have come in through the window again in the night. Having paws pad you first thing, when you are not expecting it is odd I can tell you. I rang her owner just to see if she had run off again and also to tell him that she was here in the night. He seems happy that I am not a cat hater and shouting at him!! I could not knowingly hurt any animal. Plus much better than any alarm clock...at least he knows I guess that if she is this way she will not get harmed. She is a wanderer, which does still surprise me as she is way too affecionate for a cat..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Work is ticking along, still not sure what to do..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not really been out of late, still giving myself time..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have the week off next week....wonder what I will do..?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-4284436849904033682?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/4284436849904033682/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=4284436849904033682' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/4284436849904033682'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/4284436849904033682'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2008/05/honest.html' title='Honest....'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-7187742216259203097</id><published>2008-05-15T00:40:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2008-05-15T00:48:04.167+01:00</updated><title type='text'>tough in it</title><content type='html'>thats life right now.

Not sure but think a move would be god, but I thought I had stopped running away from stuff that I can not handle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its a no win no loose thing. Tonight for a little thing that was given to me I started to cry and I liked it, was a release, have not cried for a while for a reason and it reminded me of man. Guess I just felt lonely and again on my own, which is ok as I know the reasons why, but not easy for me to put here. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some times I just want some one in the near to me way say "how are you" not just can you do this and this is not right or can you do this. Some times the old brave face does not want to keep coming out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still maybe I just need to fuck off some where, that seems very tempting.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and I am fine by the way....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-7187742216259203097?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/7187742216259203097/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=7187742216259203097' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/7187742216259203097'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/7187742216259203097'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2008/05/tough-in-it.html' title='tough in it'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-375729521224799501</id><published>2008-05-13T23:42:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2008-05-13T23:45:04.847+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Good and bad</title><content type='html'>I left a message on the phone of he owners of ninny, he called me tonight.

One reason is my new family, I spend probably 4 or so nights there a week. Nata is lovely and man does she have some energy or what! She has started nursery and loves it, even though on her first day she asked the other kids to be her friends, but they said no..she was asking in Russian tho!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sveta and Phillip are ok, its going to be hard as they need to settle into the whole married life thing, I feel for them I really do they have been thrown into it as they could not do it any other way, still I am there to support as much as I can. Sveta wants another baby, she is 38 and I understand her need to get this going, also she wants to have wedding here and nata christened, plus decorate house! This has over whelmed Phill so much, I know him too well so I know when his head is too full. Still this is for them to work out. However I do nip him in the bud when he is being sarcastic or mean, he asked me too so I do that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all went to Shepreth on Monday, no camera as I knew that I would be pulled from pillar to post, which I was. I am aunt Nicola. I love it, but man does it tire me out!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uhm Ruby was released have not seen her for a bit now, I am worried but not much that I can do really. Have 2 others coming and the other night had one in to remove some tics, they was in his ears poor thing, not the easiest place either to get at I can tell you. Still we managed to get them all out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have new boss at work, she is very sales orientated, very much come on lets do it! Or you better have a better day tomorrow! I am ok for now though as I am number 2 in the area out of about 45-50 sellers. For now I am safe but you can never be complacent enough to relax! Still the money is good, I will keep doing it for now, but I really do want a change again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The love life....well dont want to say too much as dont want to jinx it, but will say I am happy. I am happy with the way things are going, its cool being relaxed and having a laugh with some one. Plus the kissing, holding hands and cuddling is cool. We are also going away for a night (hopefully) soon. I know that we are not serious serious and I will admit I did have a problem with this initially, but to be honest its like we meet for the first time each time. I feel wanted and cared for and thats good enough for me right now, plus well the other stuff..OH YES YES YES!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uhm so all in all life is ok right now, ticking along nicely, still cant get rid of the nagging feeling that some thing will go wrong or it will all end, but guess that is because of how its been in the past. Another reason why it is good that we are not serious serious as I should not get hurt if it all goes tits up. We will see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok off to bed for me..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-3885361666574348202?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/3885361666574348202/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=3885361666574348202' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/3885361666574348202'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/3885361666574348202'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2008/05/quick-update.html' title='Quick update'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-8137201846011536488</id><published>2008-04-26T02:39:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2008-04-26T02:41:00.359+01:00</updated><title type='text'>How come???</title><content type='html'>When you are single there is a baron desert? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you are sort of involved in cool way, the offers come in?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh thanks btw for the comments on boo, really helped me&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-8137201846011536488?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/8137201846011536488/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=8137201846011536488' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/8137201846011536488'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/8137201846011536488'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2008/04/how-come.html' title='How come???'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-7516813199758234368</id><published>2008-04-20T00:18:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2008-04-20T00:35:59.379+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Am I</title><content type='html'>Happy or sad?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will note the date and probably the time I am writing this. Its been on my mind a while as the date has seemed to have come around so quickly yet seems an age ago now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seems like it was years since I was chatting with Boo, not sure why, as there is not many a day when I do not think about her, some thing happens and I think oh I must tell her she will laugh and then I remember Boo has gone. Then I think how lucky I have been to have known such a kind and giving person, even if for a short time, some people dont get that all their lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like to think that everything happens for a reason, we meet people for a reason, we have our life stuff for a reason. I just can not think why she had to pass though and I wish and wish I had known her sooner. I wish I had done more to help her when she needed it most, but as we all know she never really told us how difficult it had got or how ill she was, I am sad about that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some times I find myself talking to her in my head, asking her what I should do and ask her for a sign, maybe wishful thinking but I do always get them in one way or the other. Maybe I will see a bird that she liked or some lettering that has her name, its hard to explain and yeah maybe I have been looking for it, but I can and will not accept that her soul and spirit has demised with her body. Boo has to be out there some where, probably not playing a harp or chasing the devil, but her spirit was so strong she cant be gone I just can not think that she is not the wind whistling in the trees, or the bird song that wakes me up at silly o'clock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do think of the good stuff I read her blog and laugh at her humour and wit and I want to celebrate her life. My thoughts are also with her family they must miss her so much I know we do. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A great lady passed a year ago, pleas do take the time even if just one minute and remember her. Also please leave a comment about your best boo moment. I would love to read them and remember them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for you boo, I think about you, you know I still talk to you and I am sorry for asking lots from you. But I miss you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I miss you&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I miss you&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-7516813199758234368?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/7516813199758234368/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=7516813199758234368' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/7516813199758234368'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/7516813199758234368'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2008/04/am-i.html' title='Am I'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-2655783235232521346</id><published>2008-04-16T22:55:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2008-04-16T23:06:12.134+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Yeah</title><content type='html'>I know.....but there has been so much going on its been unreal!!

Not sure where the last week went!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well it has been mainly work, so many late nights, avoiding the horrible weather, Ruby has been hibernating so is still in the shed! Thanks for your comments, I would never show him the blog, its difficult to explain, but it was I guess for the best. I do think that everything happens for a reason and that we meet people in our life for a reason. Most people that I have had meaningful interaction with I could say what the reason was, yeah you could say that looking back I am just picking a scenario, true. With him though I am not sure, maybe it was to show me that I could feel wanted and desired for me. Crikey many times I was not wearing make up and in my scruffs!! Dont know, I am still a bit hurt, which I know it was only a short time, but there was a connection from the first moment I met him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However I am trying to think positively about it and enjoy the stuff we did. It wasnt just me pushing away, it would have been hard for us to be together and if the time was different....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Phill and Sveta still have no news about the visa, he has been away nearly a month, he is bored and wants to get back to work, I think he will be back soon, even if they are turned down, I do hope they are not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh well, best be off to bed, very tired....yawn....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-7653767111524558318?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/7653767111524558318/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=7653767111524558318' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/7653767111524558318'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/7653767111524558318'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2008/03/time-flies.html' title='time flies'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-5871308318080739769</id><published>2008-03-23T00:55:00.002Z</published><updated>2008-03-23T01:31:25.930Z</updated><title type='text'>its late</title><content type='html'>You know im not even sure if anyone reads this anymore, not that is important as such, as some times I need to just get some shite down. Not really sure why this helps, but in many ways it does. I know of many others that it helps by just typing their thoughts...weird how many of us cant say to close mates and the like how we feel. Yet on the Internet it does not matter, we can say anything we like as the odds of meeting people that read it are slim, although I have met a few.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even the ones we meet we hide away what we are really thinking or feeling, yeah we put it on here, but we don't put the whole stuff do we? There is always some thing that we hold back, the personal part, the venerable part that can lead us to be hurt, we hide that, but why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been hurt in relationships, family and friendships more times than I could ever even manage to write about. Im hurting now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why? Oh man I let some one in with out even knowing it, they snuck up on me, it does probably help they were the same star sign as me, I just understood where he came from and what he was saying. We laughed, we had fun, we talked, we hugged, we kissed we made love and it was the best I have ever had ever ever ever, man I cant even think how to describe the feeling that he gave me. Not just sex but a kiss on the back of the neck, a hand hold, brushing the hair from my face and boy could he kiss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However we split up as I did the normal nicola thing, I pushed and pushed to find the boundaries and pushed him away. I have been thinking about it tonight, as to why I do this. I guess I want to get in first, so many times I have been rejected or told I am not good enough or a liar or a tease (long story) which I am not, I am just me a very fucked up kid that is looking for some one to love her, but love her in the way she is comfortable with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The way she can control it, as in the person does not get too close. The way in which I act like a twat and test some ones weaknesses to the point they either come back or don't and most dont. I dont like doing it, but thats me. I dont want to get all "I blame my parents" etc, but I grew up with wanting love and getting love but not how I wanted, or needed and now its too late as I have cut them out my life, which in many ways has helped me as I am much more stable, but its still there. I just dont understand so much. Why my mum stopped with a man that would beat his children, why he never showed love to me, why they used to fall out, he would get so angry. It scares me now getting angry as I do not want to end up like him, I check myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trust me its hard as I have such a temper inside of me, anyone would say that I am very laid back an patient, but some times I Boil inside, but I dare not let it out in case I end up like him, but even worse I do not want to end up like her, knowing her children are so un happy and knowing whats going on but not doing anything about it. I just cant get that out of my head and never will and that is why I take the pills!!! Block it all away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh well I finish now, I am listening to Pink Floyd, does not get better than that...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-5871308318080739769?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/5871308318080739769/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=5871308318080739769' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/5871308318080739769'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/5871308318080739769'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2008/03/its-late.html' title='its late'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-5152893798373866301</id><published>2008-03-16T21:22:00.002Z</published><updated>2008-03-16T21:25:59.950Z</updated><title type='text'>Blimey</title><content type='html'>I am really getting rubbish at keeping this blog updated!!!

Anyway, been one of them w/e's where you find your self evaluaing whats important in life, think I got kind of lost for a while.  Back to the drawing board on a few things.  I dont know, some times I think if I try and be more like this then that will happen and vice versa.  I guess what it really is, is that Im not that keen on being me, whoever me is!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, saw my frog spawn today, there isnt that much of it, but all seems to be going well so far.  Looking forward to lots of taddies, then some frogs..yay!  Have had visits this w/e of a pair of Jays, they really are lovely birds, too quick and shy for the camera, but I might get them when they are coming for the monkey nuts.  Dont know why but I always think of them as exotic birds, must be the colouring?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh some of you may notie that my typing as gone to pot, its not me its the laptop, you have to hit the keys so hard and Im not used to doing that, the spell checker thing on here also does not seem to work, think I have a pop up blocker some where, even tho I cancelled them on blogger...I dont know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well as we are set for snow, ruby will not be released yet...just thought do I have to do anything with the spawn if it snows?

I know I am crap at doing this now, but it is a good thing really as I am filling my life with all sorts of other stuf now, down side is I am normally going at 100 mphs to get every thing done, but when I do have some down time I hate it.  I hate being sat doing nothing, just cant do it.  I am actually thinking about getting some more activities going so I really am being fully active, after all we are only here once arnt we?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some strange things have been hapening in my sleep, not only have I been scrtatching myself again, but I also woke up the other morning styling my hair!  Last night I slept on my arm, but also had a really weird muscle thing going on, I couldnt even turn over, but as I was fine this morning when I woke up im not so sure that it wasnt just sleep pain?  Or have I been wandering again?  Who knows huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think I said on an earlier blog that I am single again and looking if there are any single bloggers out there that would like to have friendship, fun and maybe more?!?!?  Seriously though, im fine about it, plus there is no point in me settling for anything but the right person for me, even if the old biological clock is ticking so loud it keeps me awake at nights!  I have even considered sperm donation.  Not sure if I am quite at that level as yet, but I certainly would not rule it out.  I am more than capable of bringing up a child on my own, but would prefer for the kid to know who its dad was, still think I have a couple or so years as yet to consider that one!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am encouraged from others on here that are also taking their life back, wont mention any names but they will know who they are.  Really makes me happy to see others getting out there and enjoying life and love again, such a buzz it really is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can probably tell from this blog that things arnt so bad right now, altho I do often wonder if its he fact that I am on a higher doesage 150mg or that life is actually not too bad right now.  Guess wont know that one as im not due to come off the pills as yet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think I also have a solution to the screen and photos problem, think I can plug direct into my tv, which is a much bigger and better screen so will look as to what type of lead I need then get it and try it.  Which means I can start getting some more photos on here again, which will be great as ive run out of memory cards!  Plus sping is coming so more opportunities of nice weather, I hope!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did an overaul of the garden last w/e stripped down the wildness a bit, cut the budlea, which bought me out in a rash on my face and loads of spots!  Dug over the veg plot ready for planting son.  Got rid of some of the weeds as they were taking over some what.  Hope for some more nice weather as I want to plant some of the trees I have in pots into the ground, but dare not do it right now as there has been so many nights with a sharp frost, it will kill the roots.  I also want to move the clematis too, but think I am too late for that this year now as it has started to leaf already!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Phill is off to Baku soon to bring back wife and child, that will be great as he will be much happier and content, plus I will have more of a chance to improve my russian!  There will be lots to sort out, but its a good job that I am a sorter outerer!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, thats enough for now, need to get changed etc..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-4998414502346332394?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/4998414502346332394/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=4998414502346332394' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/4998414502346332394'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/4998414502346332394'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2008/02/i-have-hour.html' title='i have an hour'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-4129674831302824371</id><published>2008-02-13T21:15:00.002Z</published><updated>2008-02-13T21:25:59.251Z</updated><title type='text'>Pissed off</title><content type='html'>Last year I had squirrells trying to live in the loft, managed to keep them away and out the loft and blocked up the holes.

Yeah I have been up there but shushhh.  They seemed to have moved on but now sat here I can here something up there again!  Oh well best try and get a man round..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talking of men im yet again sigle, it just did not work out, but its ok as I wasnt really thinking that it would, still plenty of more men I can try ha ha!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What else...stuff seems to be getting to me  very easily right now, I can read some thing and get annoyed and want to vent my anger, but as I am normally quite a chilled gal it stops me.  I just cant take people that are up there own arses and talk shite and are full of their own importance, just pisses me off really.  Its the whole artificialness of it all, not sure that is an actual word but I like it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still I choose not to go there so guess I just have to put up and shut up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Catch up....went out last saturday had fun night, had some friends round friday night which was cool.  No plans for this w/e...he he have to share, just had the loudest fart ever!  Im in fits here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uhm where was I, of yeah, no plans this w/e I am hoping for some nice weather as I would like to get out in the fresh air and get some photos done, the only problem is this lap top as the screen isnt that great and when I was processing some the other day I just wasnt happy with them even tho I knew they were ok, so I have memory cards full and I need to really sort some thing out to process.  I am also hoping to at some point get to the beach whilst its still winter and get some scenic shots, we will see...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-4129674831302824371?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/4129674831302824371/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=4129674831302824371' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/4129674831302824371'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/4129674831302824371'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2008/02/pissed-off.html' title='Pissed off'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-3014873534761780193</id><published>2008-02-07T21:42:00.001Z</published><updated>2008-02-07T21:42:56.393Z</updated><title type='text'>Ruby update!</title><content type='html'>Jusr weighed her now 1380g's!!!

Went outside like I normally do, no dramas.  In the shower, got all wet and shmpoo'd, damn forgot to bring hair conditioner in with me, out the shower, nearly slipped over went to the kitchen got it back in the shower.  Noticed in mirror I have been scratching my fore head again in my sleep, now notice its sore and also looks like ive been attacked!  Went out to see Ruby, cleaned her out, caught my arm on a nail...ouch!  Also got poo all over my hands too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went to work, all ok on the way there, had really crap day, just all crap crap crap!  Havnt heard from man either, which has peturbed me some what!  Now the small period ache is turning into cramps like you would not imagine!  Decided to go home early, just finshing off a few bits, got call from Phills next door neighbour, they have heard some one in his house...FUCK.  Told them to call the police and would be there as soon as.  Got lift over here, no one about, but door was open as was the shed, looked over but seemed ok.  Spoke to phill, decided I would stay here tonight, he should be back tomorrow.  Went back to mine, got some clothes etc.  As soon as I stepped out to walk the mile back to his, the heavens openend up and I am now piss wet through.  Not a happy bunny, plus every noise in this very noisey house is making me jump, just know I wont sleep tonight, still I have some numbers on stand by in case anything does happen and a friend of mine lives just up the road.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am going to order a take away, have a cup of tea and try to relax.......just wonder what else will happen today!

Anyway in light of my recent (just before christmas) episode of not wanting to wake up again, he has doubled my dosage to give me a break from my head, which is cool as I dont have to find other ways of doing it that I do not suggest anyone try!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is good for me to just blurt it out knowing that in an hour he wont be thinking about it or worrying, at then end of the day its a job too him, he tries to fix people, as best he can, I am thankful though that he takes time to listen to me, tells me when I am being silly, then tries to find a solution, im on 150mg's for 3 months then see how it goes, there is talk of trying another ad but would rather not at this stage as the side affects will be not nice to say the least!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of you may not understand what its like when you try and stop the world from happening, seems selfish in many respects as some people who die or who are dying should get the opportunity of life and then there is me or people like me, who just some days do not want to wake up again, want it all just to float away. When the subject of suicide (hate that word) arises the main thing people say is how selfish the person is being or that they have taken the easy way out, leaving the gap for others to fill and sort out behind them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my opinion thats crap, you have to reach such a level of desperation to even contemplate it, the natural instinct of a human being is o survive, thats in us all and you have fight that instinct fervently just to even plan your way out. You of course think about the ones you would leave behind, you agonise even try and put things in place to make it easier once you arnt there. When you are at that point you have such a heightened sense of awareness and sensitivity you get to the point when you really do think that the people around you are better off with out you. You start to rationalise that with out you there it would be less of a burden, less of a worry, therefore justifying the whole thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and if you think that it is the cowards way out, think again, you think what it would be like to get those pills or knife or rope or whatever and do it. To over come all the guilt and doubt and do it, then tell me how much courage you actually need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course this is when you are right in the moment, when you want the whole world to stop, just stop for 5 minues so you can take a breather. You want your head to stop going on and on and on, beating yourself up for every small misdemeanor. Its not the easy choice to make, if like me you arnt even good at doing it, the day after brings its own crap to deal with too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still thats life when you are like me, you grab the positive moments and try and make them last as long as you most possible can almost to the point of being obsessive over them and not ever letting them go, squeezing the very life out of each one. Then hitting the lows and just hoping that you can get through another one.

Ok too much to type about what has been happening, so bullet form is needed I think...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. I am still single, didnt work out with man, too many issues bu we are still friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. House is still wonderful and am loving it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Spent Christmas and nye with phillip, had a nice time also went visiting others too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Never got round to sending christmas cards, sorry....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Got myself into some hot water and bother which really upset me, but will say that later as its annoying still.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Been out with the camera but as of yet cant get the photo software o work o silly laptop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Plan to take diferent directions with my photography this year and not just wildlife, have a few things in mind, but its the weather at the moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Phillips wife should be over by next month, god willing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. I made my usual resoloutions for the new year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. I am back on the fitness thing and have my own gym ball now for the house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. I am going to join the gym.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. I will be slim for summer, ha ha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. Finaly I can use predicitive texting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14. Alan is still in the box in the garden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15. Ruby is now 950g's and will goto the shed this w/e as I think her cough is better after steam baths and menthol oils.  Didnt want to keep pumping her with drugs so have been trying alternative methods, she is also a monster!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16. Got lots of birds in the garden, including male and female black cap. lovely thrush, who gets bullied by the millions of blackbirds I have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17. Work is hetic and stressful, but they have changed our incentive again and this year I have a lot of money making potential, which will certainly help with the wildlife bills/!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18. I am planning a holiday in spring, not sure as to where yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19. Still planning to see oc in summer (hope thats ok)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20. Love the fact that Jan is out and about and having fun!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;21. Still trying to catch up with other blogs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;22. Going to phills for diner tonight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;23. Still looking for love....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmm much easier to catch up that way, but I will expand on some issues as time goes on.  All in all I am excited about 2008, have lots of plans, which should be great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well for now its time for Ruby to have a steam bath for her congestion, plus I am still trying to get my photos to load up......hope to get them on before I goto phillips.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Missed you...oh it wont let me check the spelling, so sorry&lt;div

type='text'>well where to begin ?</title><content type='html'>Work was ok on Friday, I could get used to a one day working week! Went out Friday and had a few beers, few more than I was planning. Felt I needed the release. Bit groggy Saturday, but it was my Big night! Some of you know how I have liked this chap for ages, must be about 8 months I guess. I have known him longer but there are issues. He has a couple of kids (teens) his mrs walked out on them quite a while back now, he works very long hours and doesnt really have time to dedicate for a relationship, the last time I tried it didnt go anywhere, but Ive still thought about him often.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night he came round, bought me a gift of a hog money bank, really cute. We had some thai rice cake nibbles with some drinks, then I served pate as starter with a salad and toast,,yum yum yum, Then coked new pots with steak, green beans and broccoli for main. We were both stuffed after that, we watched tv and drank, talked and laughed. We was layed on the sofa, just cuddling each other, stroking each others arms etc, really lovely it wasnt at that point sexual, more than that, they type of time when you feel connected with some deeper than just a feeling that you want to sleep with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had pudding, chocolate mousse..mmmmmmmm, more cuddling talking continued. We spoke about how its hard for him, but he needs to let some one in and take down a few barriers. I asked as he does believe in fate how come we always end up together, there must be more to this than there is now. We arnt really sure tho as to what that is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok so now its 2 am ish, we are back to cuddling, he is laying on the sofa and im laying on him, both holding each other and then.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He left just before 4, im not sure where this will go if it will at all, I really want it to though as he makes me feel so good and we laugh and talk...oh this is a tough one&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-891857964277000567?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/891857964277000567/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=891857964277000567' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/891857964277000567'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/891857964277000567'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2007/12/well-where-to-begin.html' title='well where to begin ?'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-6201769668646660883</id><published>2007-12-06T14:45:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-12-06T14:57:49.372Z</updated><title type='text'>here goes</title><content type='html'>For the confused in Canada too! My house has been the best part and office space not homely at all, all the furniture was Phills so when he moved out the house was empty. Great opportunity to decorate I thought, plus I had to then buy all new furniture as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moved Phill which took 2 days, lots of lifting and man was it heavy I had the filing cabinet fall on me crushing me and bruising my legs, several bruises and scratches up my arms and legs too. It was just me and him moving, but what he forgets is that a woman has bumps on her chest so not as easy at one point he moved and I thought my left nipple had been ripped off!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway I then stayed at his new house, which is lovely btw so big and wonderful with a great garden, will make a wonderful family home! Then we went and collected some stuff from his mums house, also saw a bed and mattress for me so bought that and that went in the huge van we had hired!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the decorating, it all had to be done, walls, ceilings, woodwork, doors, skirting's..I dislike decorating and it took 5 days to do the whole lot! We had help for 2 of them days from a friend who I will thank by cooking dinner for sat night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day was spent at Ikea to buy the rest of my furniture I had to get everything from sofa to cabinets, cutlery, plates, cups, glasses, rugs, towels, duvet, pillows, lights, tv, you name it I had to buy it (thats what savings are for).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then its make all the stuff put it in place and do the fancy touches ha ha. It looks really great and Im happy now to come home, before it got me down a bit as was in real need of decorating. Plus I now have all the stuff I need for a new home if I ever move!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just sorted out hogs, Alan is now 740g's!!! Ruby is 450g's!!! Still thinking about what to do with them, Alan has been getting a bit restless but ive just taken his bed out and replaced with half a bale of fresh hay so he will be busy making a new cosy nest. Ruby is just adorable even though I still have to have her in the bedroom which does keep me awake! She will goto the shed soon, which will be better for her and for me......not sure if I was so lucky to have a man folk in my new bed they would like to be watched by a hog...ha ha!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apart from that and eating countless ready made meals (yuck) havnt done a great deal else. Oh Phill and I did have a major row yesterday and we arnt happy with one an another, I am sure we will sort it out but he really did upset me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right, lets see what you lot have been up too!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-6201769668646660883?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/6201769668646660883/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=6201769668646660883' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/6201769668646660883'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/6201769668646660883'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2007/12/here-goes.html' title='here goes'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-2688077251093379103</id><published>2007-12-05T23:18:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-12-05T23:21:23.583Z</updated><title type='text'>back</title><content type='html'>Sorry confused in Wales, I forgot to explain.

Last night as he got sooo drunk and a bit obnoxious we nearly had a row, first in ages, I managed to avoid the row and he fell asleep. Later I undressed him and put him to bed. This morning I got a cup of tea and have had a few phone calls, seeing if I am still talking to him no doubt, I will tackle him later. Have so much to do today, so why am I sat here?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Possibly due to the fact I have no energy due to the super bug that struck me down and turned every morsel of food that I have eaten since Friday night into gravy within about 30 minutes. Not fun when you are dragged round looking at cars to buy, less fun when you are in IKEA. Still im better today, but weak. I will of course get going after this cup of tea, then there will be no stopping me....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carpet cleaners to higher, vans to higher, need to start cleaning the over (joy) and get some more food for ruby who has now decided to eat like a horse (yay).

Thursday night Janes leaving dinner at the Italian, about 20 of us went, but of course there was pre-dinner drinks, not sure how it happened but I was a bit squiggly by the time dinner came round. Now there was this really cute waiter who I thought was about 27 ish, he kept smiling and holding my gaze..mmmmmm I thought. He handed my drink to me, I just put my fingers on his and smiled, he didnt take his hand away...whoo hooo I thought. He was damn cute dark hair, dark eyes...Well my so called friends cottoned on to this then and wrote my number on a napkin and handed it over, plus was taking the mick out of me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the end of the evening I came back from the loo and passed him, said sorry for my friends, we had a small chat. I innocently said "well you have my number", to which he replied &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"YOU COULD BE MY MOTHER"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What???? I asked him how old he was....uhm 17....17.....17!!!!!!!!!!! I said my farewell. Then we went on to the pub for a night cap, where I asked the barman there how old he thought I was, he said 30, didnt improve my mood so much..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still everyone else thought it was highly entertaining!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ruby news, her appetite is returning and she is now 320g's so finally making some progress, she just escaped now when I was cleaning her out, right under the wardrobe, luckily I can reach under there, little monster. Her poo is near on normal now, plus the cough has stopped. Still giving her drugs and will do for another few days as yet, but im hopeful, quietly hopeful!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-1420999758161498335?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/1420999758161498335/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=1420999758161498335' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/1420999758161498335'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/1420999758161498335'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2007/11/how-old.html' title='How old?'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-8511417281421857688</id><published>2007-11-22T07:53:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-11-22T07:57:10.713Z</updated><title type='text'>more ruby</title><content type='html'>She was much more active last night, with that and a rather interesting phone call at midnight, I havnt had much sleep!

Popped in box with alan for now, but will sort this out today would rather them be seperate as helps to know how much each is eating etc.  Not sure how I am going to sort out the shed, but will think of something!  Checked the box this morning and looks like a bomb has gone off!!!  Think a trip to pets at home will be in order they had some nice boxes with little igloo homes in there that were quite reasonably priced, I could have a sort of stacking thing if more babes turn up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and I did go back for a burger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and didnt see chap :-(  still came home with some one ha ha&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-8374708093210347792?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/8374708093210347792/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=8374708093210347792' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/8374708093210347792'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/8374708093210347792'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2007/11/not-quite-night.html' title='not quite the night...'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-8617131469504081120</id><published>2007-11-17T19:04:00.001Z</published><updated>2007-11-17T19:04:43.427Z</updated><title type='text'>offf ooooot</title><content type='html'>there is a rumour that a certain chap would like to get to know me better..........................................................&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-8617131469504081120?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/8617131469504081120/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=8617131469504081120' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/8617131469504081120'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/8617131469504081120'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2007/11/offf-ooooot.html' title='offf ooooot'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-1370177176303713160</id><published>2007-11-16T08:03:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-11-16T08:10:01.100Z</updated><title type='text'>Catch up again</title><content type='html'>Well, been a bit busier of late, but still not exercising as yet, still coughing and yes still smoking, really not ready to give that up as yet, but I have cut down, makes no difference to the cough, but it is getting better and im not as snuffly now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went to a sort of Christmas fair (yeah too early) it was at a local school, wasnt uhm great and didnt actually buy anything, had a lovely Italian meal after though, yeah the honeycomb cheesecake...delish!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Little one is still doing well in the shed, whilst worming this week I actually managed to get some wormer in me too, not sure how much I digested but hasnt done me any harm so far, not something that I recommend though and dont wipe mouth on sleeve when you have some on there!! He is toasty in his box, been adding more bedding and he keeps dragging the bedding out, then I keep topping it up! Still at least the old stuff then gets changed. He will go into the hutch at the weekend, once its all cleaned out and insulated. Going to use tiles and bubble wrap then gap then tiles then bubble wrap so it traps the warm air!

Anway im always looking for something to feed the hogs, high fat content and preferably natural. Well I come across this insect mix, it looks disgusting, but hey I thought it is more like natural food so better when he is released.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After coming back from the furniture stores, got very irate with one, as saw a bed stead I liked, said it came with the mattress, laid on that...ah heaven and only £250..Bargain, it was one of them memory foam ones, asked the lady for more details and was told "that mattress isnt included", but is on the bed, she shows me on the one that is and in her words "is crap". I protest saying that it is very misleading, she says it isnt, after a few words we left, was quite pissed off about it, especially as I was in a bad mood anyway, been a bit insular and a bit down of late, nowt to worry about im sure, but hey ho. She was so patronising too and horrible to boot!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, cleaned out hog, put some insect mix in and boy does it stink! An hour later he is munching away at this stinking mix! Also reminds me I walk home a different way now as the nights are dark and the park isnt lit, I go past the other side and there is a HUGE black and white cat, think its stray as has no collar and people put out food for it. Its very friendly and loved the kitten kibbles it had from me as a treat, thought he was going to rip the bag open and gobble the lot! Bless he did that push his head into your chest thing, so sweet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well going to check the garden for hogs and top up the stinking insect mix...urgghhhk!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-6869027470501888017?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/6869027470501888017/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=6869027470501888017' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/6869027470501888017'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/6869027470501888017'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2007/11/it-stinks.html' title='It stinks!'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-5999051830455220014</id><published>2007-11-13T08:18:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-11-13T08:19:01.373Z</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Oh and &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNA!!!!!!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope you have a lovely day!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-5999051830455220014?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/5999051830455220014/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=5999051830455220014' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/5999051830455220014'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/5999051830455220014'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2007/11/oh-and-happy-birthday-anna-hope-you.html' title=''/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-2834879560016857332</id><published>2007-11-13T08:10:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-11-13T08:14:06.389Z</updated><title type='text'>Lovely damp morning</title><content type='html'>At least it isnt a frost!

Still wont eat any meat based food, just likes his dry stuff, not too worried about that as he is eating very well, fingers crossed it stays like that.

OMG havnt had pain like that in a long long time. So the day was spent in bed with hot water bottle and pain killers. Im getting a bit fed up of being poorley now, just want a day when I wake up and feel well, still coughing, but it is getting better finally!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh well best get ready for work, Phillip is taking me in this morning, he says I would be better walking to get the cold in my lungs to kill the germs, but im not so sure..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-4379380170912603027?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/4379380170912603027/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=4379380170912603027' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/4379380170912603027'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/4379380170912603027'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2007/11/hog-update.html' title='Hog update'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-5000360089020468942</id><published>2007-11-10T17:14:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-11-10T17:15:44.383Z</updated><title type='text'>arrrggghhhh</title><content type='html'>Little monster!!!

Didnt feel to bad when I got up this morning, but as they day went by I found myself back in bed, after taking some photos. The light was all weird today so taking them was a challenge! Little one (alan) has put on another 20g's so thats good, he is doing really well, just hope that maintains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well my friend has just called to see what I am doing tonight, sniffing, coughing and smelling of albos oil I replied. She has managed to get me to agree to go out for a couple. Actually it will do me good, think I am starting to get cabin fever as I havnt really left the house all week or seen many people! I did say it was on the condition that I was home by 9pm..lol think ive turned 80 over night! Of course as I have been off all week havnt really stuck to a facial care routine so covered in spots, thank god for concealing! Im not shaving my legs either, I dont care if the man of my dreams is out tonight, he can have a coughing sneezing hairy legged me!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh by the way, most of this post has been written under the influence of beechams, I hope to get back to normal soon x&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-398835333447049412?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/398835333447049412/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=398835333447049412' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/398835333447049412'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/398835333447049412'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2007/11/its-friday.html' title='Its Friday'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xbJvJcsdJF4/RzSkSubgx4I/AAAAAAAADDo/TfOiMjaQEpE/s72-c/DSC_0018.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-3331436827213978960</id><published>2007-11-08T12:20:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-11-08T12:28:03.516Z</updated><title type='text'>some hog stuff</title><content type='html'>&lt;embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i29.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid29.photobucket.com/albums/c272/nicola1233/getout.flv"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i29.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid29.photobucket.com/albums/c272/nicola1233/2dishes.flv"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i29.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid29.photobucket.com/albums/c272/nicola1233/fight3.flv"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i29.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid29.photobucket.com/albums/c272/nicola1233/sillyhog.flv"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i29.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid29.photobucket.com/albums/c272/nicola1233/2hogs.flv"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-3331436827213978960?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/3331436827213978960/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=3331436827213978960' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/3331436827213978960'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/3331436827213978960'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2007/11/some-hog-stuff.html' title='some hog stuff'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-3989895700702284769</id><published>2007-11-06T19:39:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-11-06T19:43:15.901Z</updated><title type='text'>For oc...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xbJvJcsdJF4/RzDDtfeVIUI/AAAAAAAADDY/sreyFQ3x7l0/s1600-h/DSC_0003.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

Will try some meal worms tonight too, doesnt seem keen on the wet food, but will keep putting chicken in as it will help build him up, think I will have to put bigger portions in tonight though as he was banging his bowl at 3 am insisting on more biscuits, amazes me when you think how small their tummies are, but I am concerned of over loading his tummy to quickly. I was out at various times in the garden looking for more, but didnt see anymore young ones, possibly they are about, it may mean an all night vigil, but in current health probably not a good idea, just being up last night has made me feel worse. I will see.

My fears of late babies had yet to be proved. Well I have another cold so im suffering again, still im out most of the night with torch looking and looking. Last night I felt so bad I went to bed just after 9.30pm, waking up at 6 am cough cough cough cough, decided I may as well get up, it was still dark as I went out for my morning smoke (yeah I know) so took the torch out, just in case. Lo and behold a small prickle in the feeding box a 250 grammer, bless him, he is very clean which I was surprised at and also warm considering there was a frost this morning. Anyway he is in a temp box at the moment and will be transferred to a larger box poss Wednesday after I have had a while to make sure no immediate problems.

Im sure its the amount of people that I see in the day, plus the air-con is right over my desk, might ask if they can move the unit, that may help a little, but that will be quite a big change, but can only ask, if its affecting my health then they should do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well going to go and stock up on bird feed, little birdies are nearly out, then try and crack on, although its nice and sunny here today so might take a few photos instead, lazy day...ah bliss.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-2857102503828143782?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/2857102503828143782/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=2857102503828143782' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/2857102503828143782'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/2857102503828143782'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2007/11/so-much-to-do.html' title='so much to do.....'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-7342042381165133080</id><published>2007-11-02T07:58:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-11-02T08:08:23.407Z</updated><title type='text'>not another one</title><content type='html'>Yup another feckin cold!

Hmmm maybe I could switch phone off, ok that will never happen will just have to stick to my guns!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seen a lovely pair of boots in tescos, they are knee length and dark brown, must stay away from that store and not buy boots, must not take credit card with me and look at boots at lunch time and buy boots....step away from the boots! Could just try them on and see what they look like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The thing is since my body shape has changed ive really got into buying nice clothes that are more figure hugging and look nice, plus of course the underwear to match it. It really makes me more determined to keep up the weight loss, ive dropped 2 sizes already, but as im not planning on stopping there I am slowing up on the clothes buying as a lot of what I have bought is now too big for me, its weird though as I get scared in shops to buy the next size down, dont know why think its a mind thing, cant really explain it, think women will understand it though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah well best get a wriggle on, lots to do...NO boots to buy :-))))&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-7342042381165133080?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/7342042381165133080/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=7342042381165133080' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/7342042381165133080'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/7342042381165133080'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2007/11/not-another-one.html' title='not another one'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-7838214020590779856</id><published>2007-11-01T19:04:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-11-01T19:06:39.005Z</updated><title type='text'>ok</title><content type='html'>Quickly as just got in from 3 mile walk and im off to gym ball, but spooky or what, I have just had an email alert from bbf, telling me that some one had replied on the topic that I started about boo, followed it and nothing had been replied too......hmmmmmm, spooky or for the less sceptical a message?

Found myself reading through and catching up on blogs tonight, dont often get the time to look at them all. Ended up as I some times do reading boo's blog, looking over her posts and photos, some made me laugh and some cry, it feels like forever she has been gone not just 6 months. Quite often I will be walking along and see something that im sure she would have laughed at or understand my sarcasm at certain stuff. I dont want to forget who she was and how much she meant. Oh I dont know, just miss her, miss having the chat and laughs. Sunday mornings catching her on the pc before trying to get hubby up. Italian bums, the quest to make me more lady like and her failing miserably. The gift parcels that would turn up. Oh crap such a thoughtful lady, I still cant get over the fact that she has gone. Christ only 6 months ago, only 6 months can you believe that? I cant, really cant.

Didnt think I had a problem with breathing but I can feel the benefits of actually breathing more fully, getting more oxygen into the ole brain and all that! It works on the principle that you stretch out your muscles therefore making them leaner and a longer shape, or to that effect. Enjoyed it so will keep going back, at some points I did think I was going to fall over and the tummy ones were a bit hard, but hey its all good!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New phone is soooo cooooool, didnt turn up til the afternoon so had a play with it then, but being a bit silly I managed to delete all my numbers in the phone whilst transferring them over from the old one...ooops! Today I will be mainly trying to get every ones number back, which will be a nightmare and involve a few calls to 118118 or the like! Im such a dizzy tart at times! Doing a second gym ball class on Thursday as well, its a bit difficult as I do walking on Tuesday and Thursdays but will be able to fit it all in I think...just means I will have to have my main meal of a lunch time like I did yesterday had a lovely jacket potato and beans..yum!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh well best be on my way, busy day ahead finding numbers!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-2373797656283438142?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/2373797656283438142/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=2373797656283438142' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/2373797656283438142'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/2373797656283438142'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2007/10/breathe.html' title='breathe...'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-2885640539748475779</id><published>2007-10-30T07:55:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-10-30T08:02:24.295Z</updated><title type='text'>excited...</title><content type='html'>New phone will be here today! I rang them yesterday and went straight to get the code which you can then transfer your number to another provider as I thought that no way would they give me the phone that I was wanting. Anyway we had a chat and they are giving it to me for free, plus they are giving me extra minutes and texts for less than I am on now! It does mean that I am finally on an 18 month contract which I didnt really want, but hey ho...cant wait for new phone to be here!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Long day ahead today as some of you know I am trying Pilate's this evening, not sure what to expect apart from being in all sorts of positions that may or may not hurt but will certainly do something! Oh anon im not going on such a strict diet as 1200 cals, my body would give up on that amount, im more going for 1500-1750 the exercise will certainly help as it tones up the flabby bits and the cardio I do will burn no more than 500 cals of my food intake but I will still be eating lots of good stuff and drinking plenty of water, I drink a lot through the day. Its not a diet where I deny myself treats as I dont want to be miserable but I will achieve my goal by eating good healthy stuff and exercise, after all we are told we should do something for 30 mins each day that gets us out of breath! Oh and exercise also has beneficial affects on my moods, its the endorphin things! But thanks for your suggestions!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well best get on with getting ready as I was late yesterday as I was being such a fanny in the morning, I sent my boss a text explaining that I was being a fanny, he found it highly amusing, bless....well if I can walk later I will post how it all went!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23679126-2885640539748475779?l=hog-blog1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/feeds/2885640539748475779/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23679126&amp;postID=2885640539748475779' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/2885640539748475779'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23679126/posts/default/2885640539748475779'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hog-blog1.blogspot.com/2007/10/excited.html' title='excited...'/><author><name>nicola</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05379938840593946061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23679126.post-123257771653603591</id><published>2007-10-29T08:16:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-10-29T08:17:15.076Z</updated><title type='text'>from anon</title><content type='html'>Thanks anon, thought it deserved more than just being in the comments had me in stitches&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that post you might need to check your Dirty IQ.
