Boo

Now I didn't start of going round trying to make people jump but it seems I have a nature ability in this area.

I have found that if for instance I see some one in a shop that i know and go up to them, they seem to jump.

In work with my colleagues I go to their desk or walk through a door, things as simple as that and they jump.

Best of all is at home with Alex as all I have to do is be there and he jumps a mile, screams and runs off literally. Now on my part I have to say they with Alex it make me laugh so much that I have started to do this on purpose.

Now this has proved very funny and when he calms down he sees the funny side too, but it did back fire on me the once when I had gone upstairs a while before him and then heard him coming up so I hide in the dark in a doorway, giggling to myself at how funny this would be and then jumped out at him with a loud BOO!!!! and he absolutely crapped himself, unfortunately for me he had been very nice and made me a cup of tea to drink which as you can imagine what two feet in the air and spilt all down the wall and on the carpet, Whoops mind you I still laughed for about and hour until my sides hurt so much I really had to stop.

Now is it me, my face  could be that bad that people just get a shock every time they see me but I would like to think not.
i have been told I am very stealthy and this could be the reason, i have had quite a few comments saying I should wear a bell around my neck so people could hear me coming.
Is it because I have been brought up with good manners and when I see people talking I don't like to interrupt and then when they are finished they see me and jump a mile, Maybe.

those of you that know me may be able to answer this question for me and those of you that don't know me could still comment and give me your thought too.

Either way and whatever the comments I still laugh so much that I think I would fail to stop anyway, why don't you try it out and tell how you got on?

Have Fun
With love

We Must go out

My thoughts about something that happened to me today. Walking through town today while just finishing a meeting, I bumped into a friend from my last work place(left 2 1/2 years ago now). We had a chat and left saying "we must go out and catch up" and this I have to say that this is not the first time I have said this to her and vice versa. At the time we both mean it but we all just get busy and can make time or forget about it until the next time we bump I to each other. We all do, don't tell me you don't!!!!! I am in the bath doing this note and thinking go and do what you have said because people are not there forever and you don't k ow if there will be a next time.

What do you all think?

Just A Thought

Work has been hard, tiring, testing and time seems to slip away when you have so much to do, but just one achievement in a day can make it all seem worth it and the people you work with can really make a difference from it being a bad day to a good day. 

The house is a total mess with things all over and not in the right place, I can never find anything and thing just constantly break, go wrong and cost money. Then I know my house is great, I have good neighbours and live in a nice area, I am lucky to even have a home. 

Have spent over £700.00 on my car today getting it fixed and other things have gone wrong not so long ago, I have hated my car since I bought it but again I am lucky to have one, to be able to drive and to have the freedom it allows me. 

I have a partner who drives me crazy, nuts, angry at all the things the he does or doesn't do, the things he says or does not say, telling everyone about our arguments. I am so thankful I have him because he help me make sense of things, helps me put things into perspective, tells me when I'm being stupid, is concerned for me if I'm not well or quiet and he make me laugh like no one has ever done before.
I am very lucky to have him (and him me). 

So all in all, I like several million other people have a lot of shit, bad luck you might say and things really don't seem that great. However I feel very lucky to have all these things, good and bad because it make me better. I have great family and friends that will always be there for me, I live in a place many people think is shit but they don't see all the good I see here in this town and the people that are trying there hardest to make it better. 

I have a partner who really doesn't know how great he can be and how much he means to me.

So life can get you down quite lot, but you know what just get back up and tell it to back off because your not giving up your fighting to the very end, in the end your life is weighed up by how much the good has out weighed the bad and if you don't fight you will lose. 

Just a though 
Love to you all

World Money Issues

Why is it that the public are now paying extra taxes, losing jobs, having public services cut or stopped all together.

All of this came about because of bad management from the government and very especially the banking system.

The British public paid the banks with our taxes to save their mistakes and yet we are still paying the price and will be fir at least the next 5 years, why?

Why do the government not charge the banks and stop all high paid benefits, suppliment or bonus's to the bankers and politicians who are the people who put us in this situation?


Why is it that we are all still paying the same if not more tax on our wages, cigarettes, alcohol, petrol and food etc etc and yet all the services are going down, being reduces.


It seems as a country we can give money to others countries yet not have enough to sustain our own, we as a nation are very giving but give us a break please!!!


I work in local government and believe me they are making people work two or three jobs, in the same time as one and with the same wage as one job, sooner or later we are all going to burn out.
All who agree please let me know!!!

End of rant.

Time

Time is like a handful of sand slipping through your hands at a steady but fast pace, each grain of sand representing a minuet decision you have made which then leads you on to the next and the next. Until one day the sand runs out and you have no time left. Non of us know how much sand we have so think about each decision and do the things you enjoy because once that sand has gone! As much as you grab you will never pick up the same grain again, it has gone forever. Share life, laugh, cry, smile at someone and they will smile back, be kind and helpful when you can and apologise when you are in the wrong, as I found recently even when you really don't like to do it!! Friendship is worth more than you feeling embarresed. When your sand has run out and you look back you will be able to say I did my best in everything I did and I have good friends and family because because I was good to them (if a little bitchy) but good. Always be there for people when they need you. With love Tony Barrass-Haswell
