JAYZUS!!!!

As Richard pointed out last night.. I was wrong about me no longer been obsessed with mobile phones... Im worse than Ive ever been.. EVER... Its getting quite ridiculous.. Im living, dreaming and eating them...hmmm?! The fact of it is, there is NOT the perfect mobile out there... We have 3 possibilities:-

Sony Ericsson W810i :- Very good if you need an MP3 player. (I dont... I have one) 2 megapixel camera which is good.. Not a brilliant quality screen on there and video quality is not good on there. No 3G. Only other Ericsson phone I had I kept for nearly a year... though that was about 4 years ago and it was not even a colour one...Can get this on T mobile for £36.00 a month for 1600 texts, 400 minutes and 30 media messages (the joys of t mobile flext!) 18 month contract though :-(

Samsung Z540:- Very thin sleek thin flip phone (dont usually like flip phones) and seems to be the next great samsung in line... 3G phone... Errr... 1.3 Megapixel camera... looks half decent.. But Ive had 3 samsungs and given them all away within weeks of having them... Only on contract with Vodafone at the moment and dont think they can offer 1000 texts a month within an affordable budget... 12 month contract though! :-)

Nokia N80:- Due to be released sometime this month. 3.0 megapixel camera, better resolution screen than any before it, better applications etc... This phone sounds better than any of the above but it looks quite a bit like the one I have got at the moment so I dont know whether it will be very boring very quickly... May hold out just to see though!

Ohhh.. I really ought to get a pissing hobby...

Am going shopping tonight to get some clothes for on my holiday,,, got meself a bit of a list going on.. Need to stock up on shorts... This morning at 9am their time, it was 39 degrees in Muscat.. Thats WARM!!!

www.three.co.uk .... Dont bother..

I have been browsing for a new contract for the last few weeks/months and it seems that by far the best contract on the market at the moment is the one offered by THREE. Richard grabbed a deal with them and from the outside looking in the deal is brilliant.. 1000 free texts, 300 free minutes, £5.00 worth of downloads and free roaming, and to top it off, a rather nice phone to go with it all on a 12 month contract! But do not be fooled (whoah no!) as at least 3 times a week, there are severe problems with the network that means you will be unable to make any calls or send/receive text messages. I applied for a contract (why oh why!?) and luckily their inability to provide their customers with a half decent service from day one has meant that i am not going to bother with them now! (phone was due here today but Ive never heard anything off them!) Dont "really" know why I applied for a contract in the first place to be honest... Its like been given what looks like a sugar bon bon only to put it in your mouth to find it is covered in salt! Oh how that feeling is so familiar...

The point of this blog is that I need a new phone and there are a few alternative contracts that look quite attractive but the phones on them are not brilliant ANNND they are 18 month contracts (forever!).. I have realised though that i dont seem to be so fussy re phones anymore.. If I get totally sick of it, I can always get another one at some point anyway sim free! Im just bored with nokias! (though they do seem to be the higher class of phone around!) The only question left is whether to go direct with someone like T mobile and get crabbier phone but cheaper line rental and benefit from their direct customer service (and i think u get 50 free video minutes a month!)... Orrrr go with someone like E2Save and get a free PSP giga pack and 70 pound cash back but pay more line rental... (around £10.00 more per month..)

oooh the endless possibilities are it alllllllllllllll...........And to think that once upon a time it was said that alls I talk about it mobile phones!... There must be a personality somewhere inside me... (I know what your thinking.. and stop... Stop now!)

Byyyy the way... I go on holiday in less than 2 weeks... Gonna go shopping for some pretty bits tomorrow! Will let you know what I purchase! :-)

if you love someone, let them go; if they come back, they were always yours; if they dont, they never really were...

What a long title... What a long time since I last wrote... What a life..!!

Im ever so sleepy lately.. I have een working lates this week and im ever so tired!! Needed to get a few things sorted over this week and not quite sure how things are going to be working out at the moment (will post later on if I need to mention this again....) but I could really do with just a good old fashioned day spent in bed been fed grapes and whatnot! (offers via email please!) I go on holiday in less than three weeks now... Got to say that I am getting quite excited! Annnnd, Courtesy of Jasey pie and Sexy Sue, I have managed to kidnap some extremely strong sleeping tablets for the flights... Its not worth getting myself in a mess about all over again now is it! (im gonna die die dieeeeeee) erm.. yeah.. Much better to be doped up all the way I think.. As the aeroplane is plummeting to the ground, Ill be the one asking for people to shhhh so I can go back boo boos... :-)

Me and Richard have managed to save well for our holiday.. Am really surprised that I have been so useless with money in the past but so good with it now.. Managing to save around 500-700 pound between us a month at the moment.. Thats not bad going by anyones standards I dont think... (Unless your name is Mr Branson) .. Only trouble been that we like our holidays too much so no sooner have we saved a couple of grand, than we are off spending it again on sunnier places than the shite hole we like to call home!

Currently, in Muscat, it is 10.30pm and is 80 degrees faranhite... Thats pretty warm int it.. Think Im gonna be going out in my shorts at night.. They can whistle if they think that Im going to be sporting shoes and trousers for their posh meals... I dont care if people look at me like Im a hillbilly... It happens to me all the time anyway!

From the above, we will be staying in the Al Bandar... Trip advisor reviews are getting better and better on the place and its all built now.. complete with lazy river that you can float on that goes through 2 of the hotels!! :-)

Right, Im going to be off... Im really boring lately aint I? I think Im getting old... and saggy... and boring... and dull.... a big fat hairy dull gay!? Surely not! :-P

Eggy Egg Egg!! Its Easter!!!... Nearly!! :-)

Have eaten lots and lots of chocolate.. and it aint even easter until Sunday! Big thanks to Jasey and Pam! Had some lovely bits sent to work from both of them and they have made all the people around me very jealous!!! :-)

I am going to be going away with my mates in June..Somewhere in the costa dorada! Richard has another educational going to South Africa so I thought rather than a repeat performance of when he last went on an educational, I would get away with my mates to sunnier happier climates for a week.. So now I have two holidays to look forward to!!!

Will be sure to post again very soon! Sorry i been a bit slack as of late! :-O

Bit of a sad en..

My little friend from one of the depots that I speak to had a bit of bad news yesterday. Her dad has got some form of lung cancer. They more or less knew that it was going to be some form of the big C but not whether it was treatable. I got a text last night saying the news was not good. I have assumed the worst... Saw her on Saturday briefly when we went Leicester and she is a lovely woman. She lost her husband years ago (who u can tell she loved to pieces) and yet always seems so jolly and has a certain "sparkle" to her that lights those around her.. i wonder if I would be the same if something so cruel happened to someone I loved so much..

My friend Jonno is the same.. Him and his mum have had so much crap thrown at them (to give you an idea, his dad died, his brother commited suicide, his mum has got cancer and his stepdad has just died..he was early 50's..) and yet he doesnt let it get to him.. Still smiling.. I suppose you cant let it beat you though.....

Why there has to be so much pain is beyond me.. I always liked the idea of just slipping away in my sleep. It seems the only thing that can be in the slightest bit positive about news like this is that we get a chance to right any wrongs we have and to say goodbye...

Funny old world tho.. they dont lie when they say Life is a total bitch.. to some people.. and usually those who dont deserve it. Its shit..

Just a quickie..

Just wanted to say that went to Leicester as planned and was a really good weekend. Richie met jasey and they got on like a house on fire. It was really nice to see, as jasey didnt get on with my ex (Ade) from day one. Me and Richard also met something really special in Jaseys life... His shoes (wil post a photo of the horrors when I can) Think flowers, think gardening, think transvesite!!

Anyway, the weekend saw us eating, followed by me telling some children in the Ice Age 2 film (tis great.. Go watch it!!) to "DECK IT"... I think Im getting old :-( Little bastards! We then ate... ate a little bit more, drank some and then ate at the "best chippie" (in my professional opinion, it ranks at number 7) before going back to the hotel for a snooze!

Anyway, we plan to go back to Leicester very soon! Was a very good weekend indeed! Folk are a bit com-mong though.. (let me be honest!) Tis as if most of em have got screaming torretts syndrome.. Bloody Eejits... And we were asked if we wanted to buy a camera phone while we were eating our lunch!!! Vile Vile Vile! (Jasey insisted this was a specialised service but I was not convinced!)

Anyway.. Wish it was the weekend again now! Hating this work malarky.. Have been awake since 4.20am because I walked to work. I wont be doing it again in a rush! No sirree bob!! Taxis alllll the way! Bed when I get in me thinks!

Have got my laptop on Ebay.. Its doing well at the moment.. £430.00.. Will let you know what it sells at. We are also doing well with our savings towards our holiday. With a little bit of luck, we wont need to be tight bitches on hol! (And Ill be able to get some nice new trainers!) :) Anyway, Sending lots of love and gay tidings to you all!
