Some photos are of my mask close up as requested from a couple of peeps! This way u get to see all four faces!  The others include the skeleton Jester (andrew),  Medusa (beverley Ann), the most gorgeous witch in the world  (jaya) , Beetlejuice (daddy) and a corpse bride (Julie)... More to be added shortly.. xx

 Finally, photos uploaded!!!  Here u go!! The bloody fan that inflates the clown suit was a bit half hearted today (bought dodgy batteries that didnt work from a corner shop..) and I didnt wear the claws cos of typing... But u get the jist!  the clown mask had a total of 4 faces but the two shown are probably the scariest two!!  im going to scare the little bastards that come trick or treating with it tonight! Should be able to upload some more photos from the weekend later on as the net should now be sorted!!   I won the fancy dress competition at work so I am able to get any 1 day that I want off in December... for free!!! How good is that?!!? Woo hoo!!   xx

and im dressed as a clown.. People keep pointing and laughing.. plus Ive eaten too much. I would quite like the ground to swallow me up at the moment!!

No more eating today.. Ive had plenty!!

Still no internet at home but im going to try and post my outfit for you by around 3 ish today..:D

Happy Halloween everyone!!

xx

Since Friday, the phone line has been completely deaded. Not only is the internet not working but there is no dial tone at all on the phone. Andrew tried to speak to Tiscali yesterday but to no avail. He is going to give it another go later! To be honest, I think it will do me good. The only bad thing been that unfortunately, until it is sorted, I am going to have a bit of difficulty posting the photos from the weekend. (expect them sometime around christmas!)

Went out for tea with Jasey last night to a pub that we now call the "local" in coventry. It was lovely but I appear to have put on 4 pound overnight! Booo!! Oh well, Ill be a bit more careful today and not eat 4 bags of crisps!!

Not very impressed with the halloween outfit that I bought for last weekend. It is bloody knackered after one wearing! Tonight we are going to get a needle and thread and some superglue on it to try and sort it out for work tomorrow. (yes Ive got to wear it for work... there is a prize of a day off in december up for grabs so Im going to have a bash at it! Im also bringing pizza for the buffet)

Sorry if this blog makes no sense... ive typed it in exactly 3 and a half mins xxxx

I am the first person to sit and mope around if I put on a couple of pounds in weight or if money is tight.. This weekend it has been highlighted just how lucky I am. It has also made me see Andrew in a whole new light.

Yesterday, we went out for dinner with Andrews mum, dad, brother and his fiancee. I knew that Andrews mum was unwell with MS but I didnt realise quite how bad she was. The last time I saw her, she was sitting down and we had a good old chin wag. I was aware that she had difficulty seeing as MS breaks down the nerve system including eyesight etc. The most amazing thing about this woman is that she struggles to walk, she can hardly see and in all honesty Andrew has said that she is in constant pain. Yet she is one of the most happiest women I have ever met. She never complains, and she has a smile that lights up the room when she is in it.

I spent the whole night on the way home last night crying. I saw Andrew and his brother helping their mother out and when I looked at his brother I could see the hurt in his eyes. I dont know how I would cope if anything like that should ever happen to a member of my family. Andrew said that he hoped I understood why he has such a happy outlook on life all of the time now. Maybe we havent got much money. Maybe we arent the most supermodellish people in the world but one thing we have is our health. I think if you spent just an hour with this amazing woman, you would have a re-think on things too.

So heres to not only an amazing woman, but an amazing family. Ive certainly learnt a lot from them this weekend.

Smile, it really isnt all that bad.

Photos of the halloween party will follow... It was a great night and daddy announced that he is getting married to Julie in October 2008.. more on that on the next entry

So your choking on some indian food that a colleague has bought in.. Your coughing.. U cant breathe...

And then *click*... Adie takes a photo of you.

Its made my day!
xx

Ok.. Now Im finishing peoples sentences for them. Not a big thing you think? Well, it wouldnt be, if Andrew didnt do it all of the time.. please revert to last entry if you havent got a clue what I am talking about!

Next Im going to be saying "flips" instead of "fuck" and "jeepers creepers" instead of "bollocks.."

Hayalp... HAYALP!!! xx

Tonight, me and andrew have been to visit his friend Tash. I like Tash... She is like a female version of Andrew. If I was straight, I would marry Tash. She bakes and is a reception school teacher which means she is very nice and understanding and I could eat her up. However, Tash made an observation tonight that disturbed me. On no less than three occasions, me and Andrew said exactly the same comment at exactly the same time...(one of these been breaking into the same totally random song on the same verse... it is that random a song, that I cannot even remember what it was!) Alls I could think was
"oh jesus christ, Im turning into a walton."
Im not happy. I mean, I know the waltons are very nice people but I dont want to get into the whole "night john boy" scenarios or Ill never get a wink of sleep! Im going to start a collection for a "save the Adie" fund. Give generously folks!

Other than that, the night was a fine one with lots of chocolate cake. It is a good job I ate this before Andrew and Tash started rummaging through Tash's fiances stash of porn on the internet. After typing random words in random search engines from his "favourites" list, they managed to find a woman been "invaded" with an american baseball bat. I had to walk away while they rolled around the floor pointing and laughing. The woman on the video from where I was sat sounded as if she was having a whale of a time but Im a bit tickle stomached so couldnt stick around for more than about (ooh 2 seconds) to watch.. Instead I buried my head in a recipe book of Tash's "ooohing and ahhing" at how you can stick an almond on a chipolata to make witches fingers for kiddies and tried to blur out the occasional guffaws,heaves and general "WAHAHHA!!.. Oh my god.. look at her.. Shes actually enjoying it.. Oh... look, shes smiling...Oooo.. OH NO.. NO NO dont do that to the poor WOMAN FOR CHRIST SAKES..ITS UP TO THE HANDLE!! NOOOOO!!" etc etc etc... You can imagine... Oh to have been a fly on the wall...

Bet you wish I wouldnt have given you an insight now dont you? :-P tonight, me and Andrew have tried our outfits on. His came early this morning which we were really chuffed about. I am not 100% sure how i feel about mine at the moment. I have taken photos that I could update with but I think Ill wait until I can post an array of the party for you..

Have a good Friday folks!! xxx

I think I may be ill.. the reason I say this is because I am actually starting to prefer watching my soaps and cartoons on the TV rather than going onto the internet. While richard who lives with me and Andrew tells us how great facebook is and spends all night "poking" people, Im meanwhile thinking of closing the myspace page (I never quite made it to the facebook current trend as I had a go on facebook for all of a day and decided I didnt have enough time to dedicate to poking and forwarding vampire bites!) that I have open because there isnt really anyone that I keep in contact with on there! If I have access to the laptop, I sit investigating silly random things such as what USB stands for (Richard asked) and how much a weekly bus ticket costs.. (Rich again..) Other than that, I tend to either come and read who has updated on blog.co.uk or Ill just browse some random shopping sites and fantasise about what I could buy if I were a millionairre!!

One things for sure though, Ill always be blogging,, Even if its a load of rubbish.. like this.. Im sure Ill always have something to say!

Had some lentil soup for my lunch today.. Was lurverly!! ~random moment there~ xx

I started watching a programme last night about Michael Jackson. However, my peepers were dying and so I had to go to bed after the second or third break. I wasnt quite sure what to make of it to be honest. I dont think anyone will ever be quite sure whether Jackos intentions have been genuine or not... is he a naughty naughty man or just a kid at heart??

Either way, he kind of makes a rod for his own back in a lot of ways...

Its a very sad state of events if Jacko really does just want to bring a bit of joy into a few kids lives or if he does indeed see himself as still been a child. Id be interested in knowing your opinions...

My mate Broad is coming around tomorrow for a night out. Im looking forward to seeing her as its been a few months now! I fear that by the end of the night though, I could end up getting totally leathered.. Oops! xx

This week I have been taking Suki on two walks. One after I get home from work, and then one later on the same night. I have decided to try and "up" this to three walks a day and so have taken her out this morning. It is only a quick 15 minute walk but I am hoping it will knock a bit of the wind out of her sails.. (and get 1 more poo off the garden at home!!)

Im not looking forward to going into work today but am going to give it my best bash! I hate feeling simple and having to ask so many questions! Wish me luck! xx

I think I may be a bit poo at my new job. We have been taking tracking calls for the last two days. The guy that didnt really fit in has not turned in work today. He has given no reason and not rang in as per the given procedure. I think he may have been struggling yesterday. I have felt the same today and at one point I was that distressed that I felt myself welling up. I hate not knowing what Im doing and having to ask so many questions. At least we are going the correct way about resolving this hey??

Failing that I can always sell my body for meat... Hot dog anyone?!

The race is on to get Andrew a costume for this Saturdays party at daddy Keithams house. He has spent the last few weeks/months knowing that this Saturday is the social event of the year and has spent so much time arsing about that he is still at square one with his outfit. (his backup plan been painting his face red and going as a devil...)

I have been trying a couple of sites tonight and we have finally pieced an outfit together. However, because the web is jammed up with people ordering last minute costumes, I am unable to complete his order.

I dont know whos hair I want to pull out more at the moment... His or mine... Seeing as I am running low on hair as it is, I think it may have to be his....

Oooh one min, its just worked.. (ive been writing this for the last hour so I should bloody think so... The only bad thing been that I seem to have 4 of each items that I wanted in my basket... Should I just buy them all or risk going back and changing the amounts only to be put back in the queue for another few days.. ARRRRRGH !!!(in a piraty accent...)...

Greetings!
I have just awoken from slumber. We arrived back from Stoke this afternoon and popped ourselves into bed for a couple of hours! I am now awaiting for the golden carriage to bring me my feast for tonight. (Andys gone to fetch our indian!)

Last night we went out with daddy Keith for a meal for his birthday. I ate far far too much but had a really fun night! Bev and Jaya came to the meal and I think it is official to say that Jaya loves Uncle Andrew... Although when he went to take Suki for a walk she did drag me into her bedroom to arrange her teddy bears for half an hour. Every time I tried to escape she would shout "GANDAD.." I can only assume that she has seen someone on the TV called Gandad that looks as devilishly good looking as myself... The alternative been that she was calling me grandad in error. That wouldnt make me happy at all. Lol!!

The weekends always go far too quickly!!
xx

I am so glad that it is Friday this week. At work I have been doing "tracking" training and it is meant to be the heaviest week. It has been so tiring that I am looking forward to just getting home and chilling with Suki. Andrew is going out with work tonight so its me and the baby eating lots and watching TV trash!

I had the worst customer ever on the phone at work earlier this week. We were doing an hour practise on the phones every day and this Irish guy came through and from the word go started abusing me. I have worked in customer services for years and have had my fair share of nasty customers but this one took the biscuit. However, I gave him a damn good run for his money. He kept saying that it was people like me that had drove him to send his account with my company into disrepair. Pardon?!? Does he not know that I have won award upon award for my excellent customer service skills. I didnt mention this fact to him because he was on a bit of a roll. He accused me of spying on his account because I had popped him on hold to ask if it was OK to arrange a collection with his account been on stop. He said that I was incompetent and useless and said he had spent 10 minutes on the phone repeating himself to me. That is where I stopped been nice.

"In all honesty Mr XXXXXX, you have spent the last 10 minutes on the phone repeating yourself, repeating yourself." I said.
"Put me through to your manager or someone who can actually arrange this for me." he said
"I can help you but as I have said around 6 times, I need the account number we are charging to as your account is on stop." I said.
"I am not giving you the account number. You should know it." he said.
"I dont know it unless you give it to me." I replied.
"Just put me through to someone else." He said.
*deep breath* "No." I replied. *followed by a long silent pause that felt like 10 mins*
"Why wont u put me through to someone less useless?" he said.
"Because I am not putting you through to someone else when alls I need is an account number that you say you have in front of you." I said.
"Oh... ok, Ill tell you people this account AGAIN 12345678." he finally said after much more argument.
"Thanks. That is now booked."
"you can tell your managers this is why I have not paid my..." He started.
"goodbye." I cut in. *slammed phone down to rupturous applause from my colleagues*

Some people are just total idiots. Dont get me wrong, I am my worst critic. If I had done something wrong, I would have been the first person to say it. I know in this case that I had not. I know the way in which I dealt with it was probably not the best as I should ave probably just shoved him through to a manager. Saying that, he is lucky that I didnt start hurling insults back at him!

It is officially the nastiest customer I have EVER had to deal with.

He obviously does not know who I am. Heheheh!

If your reading this Mr Nasty Irish man.... "Fuck you."

Mwah xxxx

I have been entrusted by the lovely tree hugger at work today. She has slowly become my closest Ally and I am more than a little fond of her now. She calls everything "gay" ("sorry Adie") or "sexy" and I have began adopting these little sayings!! I have also found out today that we are going to be put under the same manager. She gave me a grin when we found out... We are officially partners in crime!!

Today she let me into a little secret... She is gettnig married tomorrow. Nobody else knows except her bf (obviously) and two witnesses who are coming up from down south. I am quite touched that she chose me to confide in! All morning I have been sending her little messages asking about the day. She is going to just be wearing her normal clothes and instead of the traditional wedding band, she is going to be having a thumb ring. There will be no parties and they are not doing much after they get wed apart from going to the pub!

I know alot of people want their big day to be just that.. huge in fact, but I am quite a fan of the way she is going about it. She is doing it for love and not for the presents or the attention. Good luck to her!!

Speaking of weddings, a big congratulations goes out to Andrews brother Steven who has got engaged to his girlfriend... Here goes another wedding!! xxxx

This morning about 15 seconds after I had awoken from the land of every day christmases and superstardom, I was greeted by Andrew pinching his fingers together..
"come on Adie, what am I??" He said.
"A crab." I replied lazily. (Im learning its easier to play along..)

You see what Im against? This happens every day. However, this morning I woke up just that minute or two earlier and gave an almighty "BOO!!" while he was applying moisturiser. The facial appliance went up in the air and he gave an almighty "AGHHHH" before waddling out and then waddling back in and doing the crab impression. I think he does these things to rebel against me... but something Im learning, is that although me and Andrew are about as opposite as two people can be.. I kinda love it.

Have we all heard the Rhianna song "shut up and drive.. drive drive drive... " Well, I have renamed it to "fuck off and die... die die die. I am really pleased with the outcome and now have all of my close friends and family singing it along with me. Give it a go. You may just love it!!

I went to watch Ratatouille last night. I know Ive spelt it wrong but I really do not care!! There was a brilliant mini movie just before it started that made everyone roar. Although the Rat film was a good movie to watch, I much preferred the sketch at the beginning. Go and watch it and you will see what I mean!! I have also seen a trailer for a film called Enchanted. It looks rather funny and Ill be watching it as soon as it comes out.

Got to dash as Ive managed to type this in about 5 minutes and now have got to go back into training. Just thought I would try get an entry in as I may not have chance tonight! xxx

Ok.. So maybe Im not going on a cruise. I dont really want to tie myself to over 2k's worth of saving. However, I was told that www.vacationstogo.com did super cheap cruises. I have called them but with taxes, it still works out quite a lot of pennies and not that much cheaper than the one I nearly booked in the first place!!! Plus, (and im not super tight honest!) they charge $280 dollars to your account for tipping for the duration of the stay and charge 15% tip on anything you buy + welcome you tipping waiters/cleaners/entertainers/any fucker. Now dont get me wrong, Im all for tippage, but I usually get used to a particular waiter or cleaner and leave them all of my pennies and would prefer for it not to be dictated to me! Know what I mean?!!?

Training at work today was a bit tedious compared to how it has been the last couple of weeks. Bit of a yawny day to be honest!! Actually, this is a bit of a yawny blog too.. Ill quit while im behind.. (I was told once upon a time that I was not allowed to say that because I am one of those dirty gays..) How rude is that??? How rude! :-(

xxxxx

I shall say no more! I wish you could have seen Andrews face when he saw her. He screamed, gave a gay little skip and then looked at Suki in horror. It was a big mistake when I suggested taking her outside of the house in the outfit. We met half way and went to Coombe abbey with Suki and her lady bird rucksack. I think divorce may be on the cards. Oopsy!

Me and Andrew had to have another take away tonight. It was because last nights was not up to scratch. As I am sure any take away lover out there will understand, It was only right that we should have another! Luckily, it was much better though I may have another one again tomorrow just to make certain. :-P Y'see, this is what I do when I lose just a couple of pound... I put another half a stone on!! Grrr!!!

Evening All,
             I received the below poem and it actually brought tears to my eyes! It is not brilliantly written but you get the idea.

I went to a party,
 
And remembered what you said.
 You told me not to drink, Mum
 So I had a sprite instead.
 
I felt proud of myself,
 
The way you said I would,
 That I didn't drink and drive,
 Though some friends said I should.
 
I made a healthy choice,
 
And your advice to me was right,
 The party finally ended,
 And the kids drove out of sight.
 
I got into my car,
 
Sure to get home in one piece,
 I never knew what was coming, Mum
 Something I expected least.
 
Now I'm lying on the pavement,
 
And I hear the policeman say,
 The kid that caused this wreck was drunk,
 Mum, his voice seems far away.
 
My own blood's all around me,
 
As I try hard not to cry.
 I can hear the paramedic say,
 This girl is going to die.
 
I'm sure the guy had no idea,
 While he was flying high,
 Because he chose to drink and drive,
 Now I would have to die.
 
So why do people do it, Mum
 
Knowing that it ruins lives?
 And now the pain is cutting me,
 Like a hundred stabbing knives.  
 
Someone should have taught him,
 That it's wrong to drink and drive.
 Maybe if his parents had,
 I'd still be alive.
 
My breath is getting shorter, Mum
 
I'm getting really scared.
 These are my final moments,
 And I'm so unprepared.
 
I wish that you could hold me Mum,
 
As I lie here and die.
 I wish that I could say, "I love you, Mum!"
 So I love you and good-bye.

Last night I brought my laptop and the charger to bed to do a few bits before I went to sleep. It feels just like the olden days. There are two places in which I love playing with my laptop most. One is on the toilet (its quiet and I could sit for hours just tinkering) and the other is in bed.

I may not move today.

It has been my and Andrews six month anniversary today. He has bought me aftershave, a game for my nintendo DS and a glass love token (we have 7 of the boogars now!!)

I did a big bulk of my Christmas shopping online last night. I now only have to spend a bit out of each of my wages before Christmas and Ill be sorted!!

Im ever so tired so going to pop off! Just wanted to write!

Just been in to Royal Mail to collect a parcel. It was attempted last Thursday and since then theyve been on strike for 4 days. I have tried to contact them to arrange redelivery but their phone lines have been jammed with (assumingly angry) customers. When I presented my post voucher today, I was told that "its been RTSd." Well, I lost my rag. The conversation went something like:-

me:- "you have been on strike for four days and since then I havent been able to get through on the phones."
Dickhead:- "Yes but we have had it seven days so its been RTS'd"
me:- "ahh Fuck off, what a load of bollocks.." *adie stomps out*

Short and sweet... Not very often I lose my rag with people as I know what it is like to have to deal with members of the public. However, I also know that there is a particular way in which to give good customer service to members of the public and he was not giving it.

We all know Im going to get a dog turd posted through my door in the next week dont we?? Booo!!!

I never mentioned that my initial thoughts on the 3 people that I am training with was completely wrong.

We now have one, who I have nicknamed Teri the Tree Hugger because she really adores salads (far too much greenery in her lunch box) and hippy music. She also looks a bit like she could be a hippy and wants to hitch hike the world in the next 7 years. I Nearly stripped her off this title when I found out that she likes her meat rare... The more rare the better... I thought Hippies loved animals...anyway... She calls everything "gay" (bad) or "sexy (good) and is really funny. We piss ourselves all day! She was, previously the one that didnt say much about anything! She is lovely and I was wrong.

We have the second girl who is the Indian girl who is so funny. She struggles not to say "fuck, bastard or twat" in a sentence and so we keep saying that she has verbal tourettes. We cant wait for her to go on the phones! She regularly spends her lunchtimes shouting abuse at her boyfriend on her phone. She is also lovely. Again, I was wrong. She is also on a permanant diet which helps me out when deciding what to have for lunch!

Thirdly, there is the asian lad. He just doesnt speak and if he does its still about getting promotions and owning his own business. Im unsure whether he realises that hes in a customer service job to be honest! We all suspect he has some issues with his family as he said he started this course a few months ago but had to drop out due to personal reasons. He comes in late every day and says they will have to "deal with it..." He has been in to see the manager a few times which is probably due to him been late! If he came out of his shell and talked about things a normal 19 year old should talk about then Im sure he would be a nice guy.

There we go. Have a good Friday.. I need a crunchie!!

Howdy!
Firstly I should mention that this title is nothing to do with gay cruising nor a gay cruise.. I just wanted a catchy title!! I have found next years holiday for myself and Andree---ahhh! We are going to be going on a Mediterranean cruise that will be sailing from Southampton on 13th June '08! It is true that it is quite costly to go on a cruise, especially compared to the coach holiday that we did this year. However, I wasnt as fond of "coaching it" as I thought I would be as I had visions of the drivers falling asleep or of us flippin off a curb. (I know that I need to get a grip!) Anyway, we can get 6 grade cabin upgrade for free so even though it would still be an inside room with no window (cos I cant quite afford an outside suite just yet!) it will be one thats quite darned pretty and higher up the decks (which is apparantly better!) Plus the lady who spoke to me said she would throw in free car parking and she gave me loads of info!!

Im going to book it tomorrow. Im really excited but it means im going to be skint for the next 8 months now!!

Yayyyyy....but Booooo!!!!
xx

I found out today that Suki should only be been fed one tin of pedigree chum per day. She has been having two meals of half a tin of pedigree chum with a handful of bakers complete and then in between having something along the lines of a "chew" and 2 sausages (or whatever we are eating for dinner that night...) It is any wonder than she is doing around 4 shits a day!! Andrew always takes it that because she is always hungry, she doesnt eat enough and so simply feeds her more... and more... and more... the fact of it is... my daughter is a GANNET... There. I said it. Im not proud of the fact. But she is. Hmph!

I never thought I would be one of those parents that had a little fat blob for a child but it looks as though I am there.... Well, not no more. Suki is going on a diet! Ha!!

So for dinner tonight, Suki will be having half a can of pedigree chum followed by a chew and little else apart from a kick up the arse if she dares to beg for for my food while I am eating my dinner. (This foot may be diverted to Andrews arse should he try and sneakily feed her any extras while Im not looking!)

Work has passed in a blur today. We have learnt so much that we have actually "learnt" no
