Ha! I have just got my own works laptop with a 3g card!

Now I can join back in the sad world of checking my blogs!

My latest new toy is a Girlfriend!

God they are expensive, and I don't think they if put them in the attic, with the rest of the once cool 'must have things'

Plus, it didn't come with instructions.

And I did'nt realise that if you played with it too much it multiplied!

What have I done?

Oh well I have decided that this game is for people who either have access at work, bored, or enjoy making up fake identies.

Me, being none of the above have decided to end it!

Was 'Star Wars' real?

I had the strangest dream last night, it was helped along by the few pints the local, where the Star Wars films were actually leaked footage from NASA.

Now to any rational person this would just seem impossible, but with my wondering imagination and the sudden awakaning by the loud alarm clock, it all seemed quite possible.

So as I am showering away in a panic, knowing that I going to be late for work , my mind starts to take this on board as a possibility. So I continued to contemplate the possibilities, in my hungover state.

On the drive to work my car suddenly becomes an Y-wing fighter, ( I never had a thing for X-wings, too flimsy) and I am about to hit hyperspace!

Needless to say the journy to work became quite entertaining, picking off Tie Fighters at will, flying around Star Destroyers, ( actually large artics ) and so on.

I arrived at work on time, and suddenly realised it couldn't be real, I mean surely by now I would have met a Wookie!

Oh well, off to work then.

Oh well it couldn't last forever,

I finally had to look at my bank balance today and it was very ill!

I think I should try not to impulsive buy anymore and start spending long hours reading the back of food products in the hope that I can find a way of making them myself, but cheaper.

Spend long hours finding out what the cheapest petrol station in the area is.

Don't start new hobbies without finding out if I actually enjoy it.

Stop destroying things just because it might be fun to see what it takes to break them.

No bloody way!

I will now come up with my next get rich scam, and enjoy myself in self indulgence for the next twelve months!

I know I havn't been on for a while, But I have bought a new toy! Its a nitro r/c truck called a savage! I have been spending a bit of time with this lately, well until I broke it this afternoon!

2006-04-02T11:53:00.000-07:00

Well I sarted out well today, I woke up without a hangover. Now that in itself is a huge step forward, but then I went shopping!

2006-03-30T10:26:00.000-08:00

Back again, this time with much to the dissapointment of my bank manager!

I decided that the one item that I didn't own was a SLR camera! So I bought one!

I Don't really know how to use it, but have you seen the amount of extras you can buy for one of these things. I think my paypal account must be bordering on that of a multinational company by now.

Anyway, the parcels just keep coming and I am happy trying to find places to put my new 'purchases'!

I successfully managed to put some of the car parts to some use today, well I had no choice.

The bloody thing developed a habit of pouring petrol all over the kings highway, at will. While it was in the garage I managed to have a few of my purchases put on at the same time.

Well, the cars happy again. At least until I try and break it again!

If I ever try and sell a car on this site, dont buy it! They have all been mutilated, sent screaming at speeds they were never designed to, and by the time I come to sell them, (or write them off in stupid crashes, but thats a whole new story) they are probably happier to just get crushed and have a quick death.

Until next time!

The list now increases, I have bought a load more bits for the car, ( I am hoping it will rain this weekend so I dont have to actually fit them), three more fish, and a dodgey curry, that is playing havok with my intestines at the moment.

Never have a 'CHEAP INDIAN LUNCH', or so the sign said, as it's obviously last nights remains of food that no-one else wanted. You only find this out about eight hours later.

Words of wisdom, from someone impulsive!

2006-03-19T04:36:00.000-08:00

Yep, I am at it again!

Not satisfied with one snake I went out and got another one, I told you impulsive buying ia addictive. On top of all that I woke up this morning with the hangover from hell.

Why do we do this to ourselves. Half the time we can't remember what we done, and we all suffer the same way the morning after. It seems like going out and getting drunk is a social event that seems totally bizzare to anyone who is not going out drinking at that actual moment in time.

Someone should start a hangover club where we all get taxis to a big clubhouse, hold our heads in our hands and confess our sins from the night before.

Oh, the Christians have already got that club patented.

I saw an 'ex' this morning, Isn't awful wen you bump into an old flame and you look like you just woke up in a bush.

Theraputic shopping time again!

So, off I go to find the biggest fish in the garden centre. This sems like a good idea at the time, well until the poor guy who works there cant find a bag big enough to put it in.

When he eventually comes back with a polystyrene box bigger than my television, ( and I have a big television, remember I am an impulsive buyer ) I start to wonder if this is going to fit in my car.

For anyone who has drove with a very large, angry fish in the back of their car they will know what i mean by being a very, very cautious driver.

When I get home with my new purchase I am horrified to find that the large box doesn't fit through my front door. Where are your neighbours when you need them most, probably laughing behind twitching curtians suffering from their own self afflicted hangovers.

For anyone who goes fishing on a regular basis this would seem like an easy task, but to me it was an event which will stay in my mind for a long time. Trying to actually get a good hold of this shark like sea creature and carry it through the house and into its new tank was the funniest thing that has happened all week. I don't think I will open a tin of tuna again without remembering the size of the fish that made it.

So, I think I will have another Guiness and blackcurrent, just to solve this hangover, and to make sure that I cant get in that bloody car and go shopping again today!

I have today bought a new pet, a baby corn snake!

This now makes my front room look more like a zoo than before, ( two tropical fish tanks already up and running).

I told you I am a impulsive buyer of things I dont already own.

I dont know what to call it as I wont know what sex it is until it has grown a bit bigger.

Well here we go, a little about me.

I am one of those impulsive shoppers who can always find a reason to buy a normally useful object, and make it become an impractical house ornament!

I live in a three bedroom house, with my cat. Only two of the rooms are really usable space.

I have a part assembled kitchen, ( bought a circular saw, and decided to 'alter' the worktops). A spare bedroom that has more part built bits of everything than you could possibly ever imagine, and I mean everything, from a leather interior from a car ( watched Top Gear once) to a lifetimes collection of toys, models, flat packed furniture, more bits of a kitchen etc.

I only really need one chair and a telly, yet my front room has 1x four seater, 1x three seater, 1x two seater sofa and a big comfy chair with a poof to put my feet on. ( thats the square furniture type, not a personel camp guy!) It does kinda look like a posh airport waiting lounge!

Anyway I seem to trawl through life in this same pattern, then once a year get a skip, empty the house, fix the stuff that I have butchered, and start all over again!

I finally got running water again in the kitchen! Though it comes out of the taps well enough, I am having trouble gettin it to leave the house. See I bought one of those double sinks, not realising that the pipework involved in the waste system would give me more of a headache than trying a rubix cube drunk!

Anyway one sink works for now so that will do until the weekend, where I will probably find something new in a nice shop, and the butcher the existing item that I have before realising that it will never fit.

I started again, I dont know what the thing is with impulsive buying!
Anyway this time I have left the house alone and started on the car! I didnt realise there was so much useless stuff you could buy for a motor vehicle!

You find all these nice things you can buy for cars, t.v's, stereo equipment, wheels, gauges, bigger brakes!

I really think they should come with a warning stating that you have to have the expertise (and persistance) to get around to actually fitting them!

Anyway I think I have succesfully achieved my next goal!

Yes I have managed to turn another room into what now looks like part of a Halfords store!
