I thought i had bette explain myself!! Here goes,
I was on my way down to the sandwich shop to get something healthy to eat and as i was crossing the road i had to move out of the way of a scary lady with a pushchair, who im sure would have run me over and not have even stopped to see what the HHHUUGGEE bump was, so as i moved out of the way i accidentaly (sp?) bumped into a man. It was hard, im only 5'2 and i couldnt have hurt him!! He then pushed me and said something (i didnt hea but i can imagine) and i said sorry then .......................................................................... wait for it
HE SPAT ON ME
no im not joking!!! yes the grown man turned round and spat on me like i had killed someone. I was now fuming and proceed to want to rip his head off but as he was going the same way as the sandwich shop i decided to turn round and go to McDonalds!!0 -

. Was fed up. Had to deal with CSA and Clydesdale bank. Think I have won both battles but exhausting. Went to say hello to the rabbit tonight and there was a bl!!y mouse in the run :eek: :eek: :eek: . Traps are set just incase it comes inside. Had one before and they freak me out.

I tried to be healthy so i had a mchicken sandwich thing!!
I was so angry, if it had been a teenager i could have understood it (no condoning it but teenagers think they ae the bees knees and all that) but he was a fully grown man. There again i should count my blessing as people are being shot and stabbed for less these days (good god i sound like im 90! Im only 23!!!)
I did have a really good evening out with my mates at a pub quiz, which we came last in but we won the prize for best team name!!!!
I think i am going to go and have a cup of tea and some biccies aswell now!!!

Just think of Stuart Little and then they don't seem so bad

I regularly used to rescue the little blighters where I used to work because I didn't want them eating the poison that was put down. Then I used to panic about where to deposit them because we were based next to a motorway so I didn't want them to run into the carpark or onto the M62 and get squished!
I know, I sound like a freak. I can't watch wildlife programmes because something always gets eaten or dies and it's just too traumatic. OH got me March of the Penguins for christmas - what a mistake that turned out to be!
BTW - congratulations about your son getting the all clear:T1st April 2008 challenge:mad: xmas overspend = [strike]£254.05[/strike] £0:j......cc1 = [strike]£240.78[/strike] £0:j .......cc2 = [strike]£667.47[/strike] £0 :j ...amount owed to ISA = [strike]£1599.90[/strike] £0:jTOTAL TO GO = [strike]£2762.20[/strike] £0 !!!:dance: DONE IT DONE IT DONE IT!!!:dance:0 -
Stuart Little is even worse - he talks and wears clothes! What a freak of nature!
Honestly, talking mice and spitting men, its enough to make me turn to the comfort of biscuits!
Haven't got any though, the cupboard is bare.0 -
I didnt stay awake long enough to have a cup of tea. I feel asleep in front of the tv!! I had a good diet day today ham and cheese sandwich and a pepperami for lunch and macaoni cheese for dinner and i might have some fruit in a bit. Has the mouse gone yet mit??
