Quite uninteresting but sometimes funny…

Yesterday my dear AJ and I went to my cousins house for her bday bbq. Started drinking around three and went home about four hours later drunk like an egg. It was nice, but I didnt know anybody and AJ only knew me…Well except for C who I met four years ago when I was visiting Tash (my cousin) while I was still living in Sweden. Tash and me went to a party at C’s house then and he had a friend, Peter, there who was stalking me throughout the party! Seriously, stalking. I was not so keen to get to know him better, if ya know what I mean. When I said hello to C, he first didnt recongnise me, but then I said “well, you probably dont remeber, but we have met before. I went to a party of yours four years ago and you had a friend Peter who was kind of following me around” and as soon as I said that it all came back to us.

Peter (poor guy) did the “accidental meet”. Like so: I went out in the garden and about two min after, so did he, but instead of going up to me he stood with his back against my back and then “accidently” bumped in to me and said “Oh, hello! Are you here? I didnt see you!” and then started talking again. This could well have been an accident if it wasnt for the fact that he repeated the whole thing several times in a way that just seemed too fake. Tash and C had to send people over to save me several times, haha!

Aaaaanyway! Yesterday me and AJ discovered that my cat Stewie will chew on anything plastic…or rubber…EW! I have to get him one of those chewtoys for dogs in plastic, then maybe he will keep off. An example: I had bought a lot of vaccumbags to pack winterclothes and extra duvets and so on in. Want btw just say that vaccmbags is THE SHIT! You can pack so much in them and then just suck the air out with your vaccumcleaner and then suddenly have a small wrinkly packet that will fit in some small box down the basement instead of taking up a lot of room! And it makes travel so much easier! Ok, old lady warning there maybe, but still, vaccumbags! You get a pack of two large ones and four medium ones for £13.99 on Argos! Rena kapet as we would say in Sweden!

Back to Stewie, while i was packing various items in my newly bought vaccumbags, I realised that one of them had started to let in air…and then I saw the small holes in the plastic which could only have been made by a plastic crazy kitten. Stewie licking another vaccumbag kind of gave it away as well. So now I have to hide the bags and other things in plastic that cant be chewed on.

Gotta go, have a disposable bbq lit on the patio! Having a very mini bbq today, hurrah!

What kind of excuse do I havefor not writing in days?! Well none actually. I could say that Ive been busy, but that would be a lie. After doing my household work (incl feeding the cats and cleaning their littertray) I have so much free time, I hardly know what to do with it!

So Ive taken some actions to make my life seem busy. For example, I returned a  dress to New Look yesterday in Clapham Junction. I could have done this any day ealier in the week (like monday, when i had to go to the jobcentre or wednesday when I had to go back to the jobcentre) but, no, one errand a day (because they are so few). So if I want to go to Clapham Junction there are a number of buses that would take me there in no time, which one do i choose? Bus 39 of course, who takes double the amount of time to get to Clapham junction as the other buses! Because then Im on the bus, and i cant do anything about it going slow plus it will first and most importantly, kill some time, because time is what I got now.

I do these little things like waiting to do the dishes to the end of the day (like it is fun, even thou I hate it) and make sure to wash every single piece of clothing that might need washing. Yesterday I even unpacked AJs bag from his Madrid trip and when he got home later yesterday evening, those clothes from that bag where already hanging to dry…even thou normally I would ask him to take car of his own shit. Now I saw it as a little more killer of time. I should take up drinking while im at it and become a proper housewife!

Btw, the other day a woman called me from IL’s phone, saying she found said phone on the bus and that i was last dialed nr or something. I took her contact number, knowing that IL would go to Sweden the next day (yesterday) and certainly needed her phone. After calling Elle, she said that she didnt know ILs flatmates nr, but that I should call someone who worked with them (yes, they work and live together…) So I called J who said that he didnt have the number, but that K might have it. Fortunately for me, K was sitting net to J (at the pub) so spoke to him. Now  K didnt seem to want to hang up and he talked, and talked before I finally got the number and managed to call ILs flatmate and then speak to IL herself. Turned out that IL hadnt even noticed that her phone was gone! I was the one who told he! Another epic story in the life of IL, haha!

Today Im going to bake ca 100 cupcakes, hurrah! And Al might come by for a bit HURRAH! I was supposed to meet him yesterday, but the underground didnt go properly (fucking northenline!) so had to skip that. So, Al, come by today, hurrah!

Cheerio!

As a true gambling addict, I am now about to play some instant wins on The Natitnal lottery webpage. Why? Beacuse its fun and I have won money there before plus it wont cost me a lot. I usually restrict myself to £5 and hoping that I will win the jackpot on £55 000 or whatever it is. Usually i win £2 so i can play another game and then i lose it all.

Dont judge me! Me and liz from work (or rather ex-work) used to play every friday. Now, I havent played in a while, and even thou its not friday, Im going to indulge myself in some very addictive internet gambling. Who knows, I might even win? Probably not, but since my life has gone down to watching the telly and doing laundry, I need some excitement in my life!

Wish me luck!

Bye bye now

Oh my lord! I had to go to the jobcentre in Wandsworth today. I am for the first time in my life, claiming benefits…Anyway, it all started my last week at work, the day before  left. I spoke to the “nice” people at Jobcentre plus who said I couldnt make a claim while I was still working. I explained to them that I was leaving the next day and that that day had been set a month in advance. But no, I had to call back on monday!

I forgot to register last monday (online) so I did it on tuesday. When they called me back on Thursday the snotty little bitch that called me questioned me about why I didnt register on Monday instead of a DAY later on Tuesday. I explained to her that I forgot, but she kept on bugging me, I felt like a frickin criminal when she asked “where were you? what where you doing that was so important that you missed to register? where you working?” to which I replied “I was at home, doing weeks worth of laundry and no I wasnt working because I was made redundant and had my last they the 29th as I told you”. She was still suspicious though, like I didnt have a proper alibi or something!

Well anyway i was scheduled to meet up with and advisor at the Jobcentre in Wandsworth today and as soon as i walked in through those doors I felt depressed. It was the most depressing place I have ever been in. Everything was gray, old and dirty and it smelled! All the people that worked there looked like they where about to commit suicide and the people waiting in line with me where either junkies or pregger teenagers!

And now I have to go to another meeting there on wednesday and every other week until I find a job! Plus I wont find out if my benefit claim (about £60 a week, like anyone can survive on that!) will go through or not until two weeks from now!

Please dear god/godess/gods/godesses give me a job now! I cant stand the thought of ever going back there!

Eh…so yesterday my dear AJ went to Madrid, so last night I sent him a rather saucy txt, ment only for his eyes of course. So I was rather surprised when I got a txt from Al saying “Oh, dear!” I suddenly got a terrifying thought…and I checked my phonebook and right there I saw, Als number net to AJs…I then sent a reply to Al who later confirmed that my naughty text had not been sent to AJ  but to Al…

QUITE embarrising I must say! Al did understand though but still! If I didnt explain it might had looked like I was trying to seduce Al! Ah, well!

Met up with IL and Elle at costa yesterday which was nice. I just feel like getting drunk asap, might go to Bermondsey on wednesday thou! Eh… should call Jon first perhaps…

Cheers

My sis and my gran are visiting me now, they came yesterday. And they had quite and exciting day yesterday. When they came to Arlanda airport and where on their way up the stairs, my gran fell, rolling all the way to the bottom of the stairs, hitting the back of he head and then…there was blood! My sis told me later that blood had been everywhere and my Gran’s back was covered…Eventually they got to the nearest hospital where the cut was glued together and they then took the next flight out to London! I met them at Heathrow and my gran seemed fine saying “Well it doesnt hurt now, Im alright!” And she meant it. She does have a very high threshold for pain. Once, back in the day (the 60s) she fell down her basement stairs in her home, fracutring her leg in two places. Now this was in the middle of the day, her husband where at work and her children at school an they woulnt be home until many ours. So what does she do? Crawls back up the stairs where she calmly calls an ambulance. She is now 87 and bicykles almost every day. Quite cool huh?

Aaaanyway, Im trying to find where to get on those London Tour buses. Gran has never been to London and she doesnt speak a word of english (which makes conersation ith AJ very interesting. She speaks swedish and he speaks english) so thought one of those woul o the trick. Then we can see everything ithout having to walk everywhere.

And no, goodbye. Need to run!

Cheerio!

Ok, so this is day numero 2 of unemployment (the weekend didnt really count…). Have mostly been cleaning and sorting our stuff, like a proper housewife! Went to the dentist yesterday which resulted in half of my mouth being numb for ages afterwards. I spoke to AJ on the phone and that bastard jst teased me!! I did sound a bit like a retard…Was delerious when it wore off!

On Saturday I had met up with IL for some sunsoaking in the park with some of the the other girls from the flat. Saw a guy who tried to do a Beckham from the Armani advert…he didnt really succeed. He was tanned and one of those guys who def goes to the gym about 5 times a week. His girlfriend where a skinny tanned stick with fake boobs and a thong bikini. A perfect match! The guy was only wearing a tiny pair of white briefs who kind of made it look like he had a diaper on…and when he turned around we saw that he had a 08 on his bum…niiiice. After that nice sight, Il, Elle and me went to the pub and then to mines. Where pretty drunk by then so stayed in sat night.

On Sunday me and AJ locked ourselfes out of our appartement and had to call a locksmith that charged us £233 for a job that took less than 15 min. Fucking bastard! So even thou we really couldnt afford it, we went out and had a nice dinner in the sun with a bottle of rosé. Well deserved!

Yesterday I met up with Al yesteray by the river for some gossiping. Turned out that Al had some rather bad news last week as well…and when Al became redundant, all other people in the office starting looking for new work. The whole thing is messed up, I did not think that they would ever make Al redundant! So we and a friend of his shared three pitchers of Pimms…Got home around six quite drunk…Come to think about it I was drunk on thursday, saturday, sunday and monday… Anyway, fell asleep and awoke an hour and a half later when AJ came home and then I had to cook dinner half drunk still…Ah, well!

Havent had any alcohol today so far and Im not planning on it. Have one a great deal of shopping today (which included Argos…) and have now only a little money left, so of course applied to job seekers allowence! Had a call yesterday about a job, which I really, really want, but they still havent confirmed a time for an interview, but Im hoping for the best!

And in other news, my dear mum sent me Miss Li’s latest album “Dancing the whole way home”. Buy it, listen to it and then buy another copy for somone else, its THAT good!. Different from her previous stuff, but I think its better! She has clearly developed her songwriting to the better. Miss Li! What a babe! I love you!
