Kids.. who would have them..


Why is it.. just when you think life is going well.. something leaps up and bites you..
Two years.. my youngest twin has been out of work, he was unlucky enough to leave college when the Motor Industry was going bust.. so his year long apprentice mechanic course was a waste of time..
Anyway, just this last two months or so he must have applied for hundreds of jobs, anythign and everything, noone would give him a break until Asda finally caved in to his 7 (yes 7TH) attempt, and accepted him. Admittedly it was only a few hours, and not the most challenging of work, but was a job. He muddled through, only has 4 more weeks to go.
This afternoon I had a phone call. *mum.. think Im in trouble*.. uh oh.. Seems he flipped and lost his cool with one of the Managers.. he answered back, thankfully he didnt swear or anything, but did snap.. having worked at asda I do know this particular manager and yes she is enough to make anyone go mad.. but I really hope she doesnt take this too far.. He didnt call her names or anything, just she told him to go collect some trolleys, and he said *ive done it, go check if you dont believe me*..oopsssss.. thats my boy..
I really hope this wont cost him his job..

Damon.. or Stefan.. this is the question


Right now, Im just loving the Vampire Diaries.. this is as far as Im aware, a new *vamp* addiction, I just can't decide though which of those two boys I like best...
Is it the mean and moody Damon.. (gotta love that name) or the brooding Stefan.. (who I am sure, takes his looks from a certain Edward Cullen).. It would appear that Stefan has re kindled his blood desire and is turning big time vamp..
whatever it is that has caused this recent vamp revival, Im loving it ..

Michael..




I can't claim this blog is any reflection of me, without a mention of the man I have followed around with my sister for the past 20 years.. Michael Ball.
He introduced us to the wonderful world of Music and Musicals, and for that I will always be so grateful. We have been lucky enough to meet him twice now, and he is charming, funny, and just adorable, always making time to speak to his fans, even if he is late. We have travelled all over the UK to see him, no idea how much we have spent, but he is worth every single penny..

Twilight Gift


My DH as part of his job, regularly travels to the USA.. and there is a fab shop there called *Hot Topic*.. which specialises in goth, fantasy and vampire things.. amongst others..
His most recent trip, he returned with this lovely necklace for me.. Im not sure whether to wear it or hang it on the wall with my other Twilight bits..
