The end of the world is nigh apparently

I am back to square one almost today - working yesterday afternoon saw me off.  Not that it was overly busy, its just it was the afternoon, and I had already used my quota of energy in the morning without really thinking and planning, or "managing".  One day I may well get the hang of it, but after four years I still tend to forget on occasions!
My nights sleep, or lack of it, wasn't helped by the fact the council had planned to re-surface the road at the back of our house.  Something to do with a non slip or safety surface for the newly installed zebra crossing.  They very kindly started at 10pm and went on thru the night.  Wonderful!  Rich woke up to find his bedroom glowing with flashing orange lights, and as he had watched "Paul", about the alien, earlier in the evening, it was a bit of a spooky awakening lol.

Anyway, I got Rich off to school and went back to bed for the morning.  So glad I have the opportunity to do that.  Then I went to Morrisons.  Well, I am just adding another tip for the "tips for life" blog.  Never go to Morrisons in Yate on a Friday afternoon. If you do have to do this, take 2 valium and half, no a pint, of gin before you step out of your front door!  After driving around the carpark a couple of times I decided to give up and go to Tesco.  Luckily, someone pulled out from a space as I was on the way out so I nipped in it.  Inside was just as bad.  I was so stressed by the time I came out I could quite happily have just burst into tears.  Having already done that when the cashier told me how much I had spent, I decided that twice in the space of 5 minutes was a tad too much!  (Only kidding, I waited until I got home before falling apart lol).  I stopped off to see my Dad on the way home and hand over his shopping.  Had a moan to him about my afternoon, and then he told me his moans and we were square!  He then said, of course it won't all matter next month, and proceeded to tell me about the comet Elenin which, if the holy peeps are to be believed is going to hit the earth sometime next month to coincide with the end of the Mayan calander, blowing it to bits. All in all, a good cheerful session with my Dad :o)  Think I might go on a bit of a spending spree over the weekend and bash the credit cards I have just managed to pay off.  After all, by the end of July no one is going to be around to care. 

That could be a whole new blog, What would you do if you knew the world was going to end.  Mind you, I guess its akin to the "you've only got one day left to live" scenario.  Drat.  Will have to think of something else.  Has anyone noticed I haven't yet mentioned my duckies?

By the way, before you all go wild with the credit cards, just check out the NASA website.  They have a slightly different opinion to my esteemed father ;op
