We papered the arch, (yes again and yes it’s still up) we did it over two days because it’s such a *^&%* to do. It’s alongside the stairs with only a small space to stand in, and its all little bendy bits, you will see when I do the photos.

My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.- William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

This made me laugh because it’s so true.
Your Valentine’s Day Personality is Practical |
 As far as you’re concerned, Valentine’s Day is simply a commercial holiday.You don’t place any real meaning on it. You don’t think it deserves too much celebration.For you, Valentine’s Day is just the day you avoid restaurants and candy stores. If you love someone, you already show it. You don’t need to go all out for a silly holiday to prove your love. |

Ever wonder where and why we, (well some) Celebrate Valentines? Well here’s a site that give three possibles. Valentines is one of those celebrations that no one is really to sure about. I will admit I have never been a fan of Valentines, why do we need a day to tell someone we love them, isn’t far more romantic to slip a love note into your loved ones lunch box/under their pillow etc randomly throughout the year?

Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable.

And the wall paper saga continues. On Wednesday we went to B&Q and found wall paper we liked the only problem, they only had 3 rolls. So after wandering around I found someone to look on the computer to tell me if any more was due in.
‘Yes we have a delivery over night; if you ring first thing we will put it aside for you.’
I was happy with that, so yesterday morning I rang at 7.45 to be told
‘No the delivery is tonight’
When I pointed out I had been told to ring because the delivery was supposed to be Wednesday night, and that the order was for 18 rolls, (that’s a funny number don’t you think)? And I needed 10 of them, she said
‘No it’s tonight’.
So I waited a couple of hours and rang again to be told
‘Yes it came in last night but it’s not been put out yet’
‘OK’ I said then ask if they can put 10 rolls to one side for me to pick up a 3 ‘O’ clock
‘Oh I don’t know was the reply, can you ring back later’
(I really wish they would get the staff to sing from the same hymn sheet as it were).
So I rang back to be put through to the wrong department who could not transfer me so I had to hang up and ring again, then after a very confusing conversation I was told the paper would be put away for me. I came off the phone thinking ‘If it’s the right paper it will be a miracle’
And it was.

I have had my next appointment (25/2/10) to see the neurologist this time for an EMG/NCS then hopefully I will get all the results together. The Nerve conduction studies (NCS) involves having little pads stuck to my body and little electric currents being past down and then a reading being taken. The Electromyography (EMG) involves putting needles into muscles to record how the muscles are working. Oh what fun, but do you know what I don’t care I just want to know what’s wrong with me.

Katie Price marries again, after knowing the new hubby just seven months; it’s the kids I feel for.
What about this one from Baroness Deech, children should look after their ageing parents. Now I feel very strongly about this, I didn’t have my son so that I would have someone to look after me when I got old. He will have his own family by then. Imagine trying to run three households on one wage, your own, plus your parents, plus your spouse parents. The law that has been past in Singapore frightens the life out of me, the parent can claim a payment from their children when they turn 60, what about the strain that then puts on that family, and what happens if you don’t have children?

Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening
by
Robert Frost
Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
and now hear it here sort of.
Over on the side bar there is now a link to my book shelf, these are just some of the books I either own and have read, or have read but don’t own, if you hover over the top with your cursor it will tell you, or it will if I have put in on properly.

The hard way is the best way to learn a lesson, because you’ll never forget
The first day of February and we have got up to a covering of snow only about 1 ½ in and with the thin cloud drifting across the moon the garden looks lovely again, not a weed in sight, ha ha.
I got up yesterday morning looked at the arch and thought no, I can’t live with that. So we ripped it down and took back the unopened rolls. Now I am looking for wall paper again.
It will be finished eventually

February’s horoscope
A sexy encounter on the 6th makes you feel invincible; nothing can stand in your way! Me the invincible one, you heard that get out of my way! Ok don’t then
Working on behalf of a humanitarian cause lifts your spirits near the 8th. I had something similar last month
The days surrounding the 10th are ideal for sending out CVs, going on job interviews, and checking in with employment agencies. But first I have to find something that’s part time, within walking distances and they don’t mind me falling over occasional.
An attentive friend is willing to relieve you of oppressive chores on or around the 11th. Don’t think I have any oppressive chores
A wonderful job offer on or around the 14th gives you a chance to do emotionally fulfilling work. Now that would be nice
You can turn someone’s head through the sheer pulling power of your sex appeal mid-month; hahaha sorry these ones always make me laugh, what sex appeal go ahead and make a few flirtatious suggestions to the object of your affection.
The days surrounding the 17th are ideal for getting engaged or married; alternately, you could form a very lucrative business partnership during this golden period. Ok well the first two are out and don’t you have to have money to start a business?
The 23rd is good for laying down more permanent roots in your community or neighbourhood. NO NO NO I don’t want to make my roots any more permanent, I want to win the lotto so I can move
Gentle exercise pays off on or around the 27th. I will walk
Stand up to a friend, lover, or colleague at the end of February who has been taking you for granted. I can only think of one person who does that, and she hasn’t spoken to me for ages, not since I said no to her.

Question everything, there’s always more than one answer.
I feel like I have been neglecting you, I have no excuses, well I have I have been running a café on face book. But I am board with it now. Although I must say some of the things people post I find a bit of a fingers down the throat job. (And these are people I know)! Then there are the people who post things because they want everyone to know or half know things, like one comment like this
(Name) I have sent (name)’s money so she can have the (thing).
Now I would have sent this as a private message, or is it that this person wants everyone to know she has sent money? Then there are all the I LOVVVE YOU’S. I don’t know is it just me? These people are not kids, kids I expect it from.
I know stop going there then. I will.
We started the papering; it didn’t go well, all day to do the arch. I brought a light plain-ish paper for a couple of reasons. The first being that we are getting far to old to be hanging over stairwells with bits of pasty paper, so I thought a nice plain light paper that we could later paint when it got dirty or we got fed up with it would be the answer. The other reason is the amount of doors on the landing means there is a lot of wasted paper if you have a pattern. As I was pasting the first piece I remarked to hubby that I thought the sample roll was thicker, he said he had thought so too. Now because our walls are anything but level or flat and because the paper is not as thick as we thought and is not a heavy pattern it shows every lump and bump. We couldn’t get the stuff to stick at the edges and had to keep going back over it, and so that is why it took all that time to do just the arch, and it doesn’t look as nice up as on the roll. On the roll it as a wiggle line pattern and looks cream, on the wall it looks like lining paper. I think it’s going to end up painted a lot sooner than planned.
I have been thinking about what I am going to do for my birthday this year, It’s an 0 birthday so I suppose I should mark it someway, I was toying with these ideas a long weekend in the Wendy house, a birthday party in the house with jelly and blancmange, pass the parcel and balloons, (I never had a birthday party as a child), or a meal out with family. Then thinking about it a bit more and having little chats with people I have decided on a holiday, why because as soon as I mention it I got the ‘Oh well so and so only eats and you will have to invite so and so, which left me thinking who’s birthday is it and who will be paying for it? So I decided on a meal with hubby, number 1 and the delectable L and a week in the highlands later on in the year in hopes we will see the northern lights.
