Living in the Smoke

... but aparently my radio is broken cos I could swear the guy on there this morning at 7am promised me a nice sunny day.

Hmmmmmm, good job I have my granny cardigan with me. Anyone else own one of these wardrobe 'must haves'?

This morning I have hit 'confirm' on bank transfer sending back advance paid to me. I am very happy with this decision and very happy to move on with no more anger in my blood.

My desk is an absolute mess. In fact as was kindly pointed out to me by one of my team this morning - I am the only person who actually has taken up four desks with her stuff. They say it's a 'paper-free office' - bollocks is it.

I have been at my desk since 7.30 this morning thanks to Redbull and I am toying with the thought of chatting with my boss about that being my normal time in now as I have been so productive today already (probably too productive as they may now realise how slack I am the rest of the time).

Had a fab weekend with no plans. Went for a big family dinner with KB's family which was nice except for the groping that wasnt from KB.

Ok .. ramble over ... off to find lunch.

What did y'all get up to this weekend? Anything fun?

Ok, help needed please.

When KB logs into her iTunes account there is nothing in her library - why?

She is logging into it on a different computer than what she created it on (as that computer went up in smoke).

She still has everything on her iPod and when she plugs it in to computer it is recognising the device and letting her look at all her music listed on the device.

We are nervous to hit 'sync music' as it says it will erase her iPod and then sync it with iTunes.

How does she get back her iTunes library?

I am not technical so if there is any info I have missed that will help you come up with an answer please let me know.

Thanks x

Ok, thanks for pissing on my good mood over winning summat.

Just checked mails and apparently I am a hypocrite for asking that the picture of me be taken down.

I am aware it was not done maliciously.

I am aware that I have many times in the past posted pics of myself.

I am aware that anyone who is bored enough to read back through my old blog will know lots about me.

Now ... let me make you all aware of WHY that picture had to come down or be made private to only those who were in attendance.

My partner KB who is the picture too does not have a blog by choice and by the virtue of her job. A select few of you know what she does for a living and would not even think that statement is dramatic. However none of you know the indepth details of what she is involved with in her work and I can assure you all that she would lose her job - no questions asked.

So, before one more of you hits 'send' on a whinging email - do sit back and have a think that there may be more to a situation that you know about.

And one more bloody thing .... I was NOT rude in the way that I asked for said picture to be removed.

OK, done and dusted now lets leave it (and more fucking importantly - me) alone on this one.

Now, back to my shiny thing.

I won an iPod Touch and the pretty thing has just been delivered to my desk.

Now what?

I have fought against Apple for so long but this thing is tempting.

It's sitting there staring at me.

I think it just winked at me !

I am shit at checking my mails on here. Sorry to the messages I hadnt picked up that were kinda important. Sorry for not accepting the friends requests from old friends sooner. Thanks for all the birthday wishes for last weekend.

Lets face it though ... those of you that know me are quite aware of my slack attitude

Anyway, just had a thought about tomorrow night. Does anyone (who is coming) mind if we do a 'no-rounds' night. I only ask cos its been an insanely expensive month already and buying huge rounds of drinks could just about push me into the poor house. I really dont want to sound bossy but if one person buys a round then I will end up feeling obligated for KB and I to buy rounds too. Are you all ok with that?

I want someone who is coming tomorrow to be my blog witness that there will no sensible (lesbian) shoes on my feet. Row, TKK ... you will have to come along if you want the proof in person that I do own non-sensible shoes.

Hmmm ... anything else?

Oh yeah, I will be putting the final 'Blog Dine With Me' instructions up next week .... allergies, menus, etc blah blah.

Ok ... thats it ... think I am caught up .... soooooo how are y'all doing?

Conversation with my mother....

Mom: Hello dear, where are you?

LN: At work ( at 10am on a Monday where did you think I would be? )

Mom: So, what are you doing on the 18th?

LN: Nothing that I know of ( Kill me now for not thinking quicker )

Mom: Would you like to go to Oxford with me to a show? The show is on the Saturday in the daytime but I thought we could stay the night on the Friday and have a nice dinner.

LN: Oh that would be nice as I have to be back in London for early evening ( Have now sealed my fate )

Mom: Oh thank you dear, Irene would always go with me but obviously I would have to go alone now if you didn't say yes ( Irene is my moms best friend who died a few years ago so now it is set in stone that I must go after that guilt trip has been planted )

LN: So what's the show then ? ( Thinking it's some nice little matinee theatre show )

Ok Blogville ..... try not to be jealous .....

My Parental Bonding Hell

Ok ... as mentioned before KB and I were wondering if any of you reprobates would like to meet up for a drink on the weekend of 19th/20th September?

Now, I need to throw a bit of clarity in here ..... as I am a shit organiser.

We are only able to meet for drinks on the Saturday night (19th).

So if you are expecting some highly organised 'Blogmeet' with an endless list of activities you will be sorely saddened.

Now ...... I was thinking meeting up somewhere like Soho so those of you who wish to be a bit touristy can do so as it's pretty central. Does that sound ok?

Can y'all please let me know by this Friday (11th) if you are definately coming as if it ends up being a no-go KB and I can make other plans (ok, that sounds worse than I mean it to .. lol).
