I'm hardcore!!
Okay, so the title was just to try and make me feel a bit better. I think it's a sad state of affairs when one of your own tutors starts calling you "Miss Goodie Two Shoes" because of getting all my work done. The amount of abuse I get from hubby, fellow students...and now tutors is beyond horiffic. I'm just misunderstood, not Hitler misunderstood but Mouse misunderstood..
However, because I got all the mock exam done in class I don't have any homework so hahaha at them all!
We even have our decorations up, well a big ass tree and some of those light models which play music, so pretty and Christmassy. Remember I don't have any homework...sooo I gets to finish making all my Christmas cards! I win, Mousey the bestest!!
On that bragging note, I'ma out here to chill and not think about the homework that everyone else has and I don't...WOOHOO
Take care,

P.s. Is it the right thing to do to admit that you miss having homework? ...Lets never mention this again...

AAAGGGHHHH
Where, oh where is my week going?! It's Wednesday already and I've got three tonnes of stuff to do before Friday!! Not that I'm panicking at all, noooo, well okay, maybe an icle bit...
I'm at work, awaiting post, as always so when that eventually comes I can get on the phone to people and shout at them (In a festive yet, professional way) for not paying!
Ugh, my boss is driving me nuts, he's always like this when it's accounts time, you'd a thought he'd leave me alone for a little, but no, that would be common sense!
Post has finally arrived so I'll see you on the other side...

It's been a while...
Oh, the joys of life, well my life...and there haven't been many joys to be honest. A sickness bug has rendered most of the family in their respective bathrooms all weekend (all because we met for Grandma's bday on Wednesday). I, luckily, haven't actually been sick but that didn't stop my body from going into some form of weird/peculiar ickyness which meant I rarely left the bedroom. My husband, of course, picked up the bug and ran with it, is...ugh.
I have a mountain of homework because I had to miss college last week due to year end and all that VAT jazz (which didn't happen until Monday afternoon and in the end they choose me to change it and it took best part of three hours, useless, just useless.) It wouldn't be so bad but I'm still awaiting my boss to thank me for doing either, which does irk me. We'll see what tomorrow brings, probably nothing interesting nor an apology so I feel I must boo and hiss, just a little.
I'm still in the process of making 1001 Christmas cards for family and friends, that's taking quite a while too, and unlike other things, it's not like I can keep putting it off because it's one of those deadline thingies again.
Ok, I'm blogged out and I'm tired, so I've had enough.
Oh! and before I forget, turns out, over time you find out who your real friends are and it turns out, I gotta a few "friends" which aren't actually that, which kinda hurts, but at least I know now and they can go take a long run off a very short pier.
Right, I'm off now, cuz I wanna go...I dunno actually, but I should go do something.
Take care and all that jazz,

My baby is home
We got Midi back home tonight, and it just broke my heart, again. This is really a lot harder than I ever thought it would be. I miss him so much it hurts, literally. I can't get interested in anything and I'm in my migraine cycle again. I'm just so run down and exhausted and I still have so much to do...and on that note, I'm off to get some more stuff done.
Take care all,

Relaxing break...you must be joking!
I decided that we should get away for a night, travel straight after work on Friday and stay overnight at Blackpool and then come home later on Saturday...the hotel I booked, dear Lord, NEVER again will I ever go there..
The entire place smelt of cabbage, which was beyond gross, the bedroom was at least clean but only had a 3/4 double bed...and seens as we kick each other in our king size bed at home, wasn't going to work. Luckily the room offered a single bed as well, which I used. The floor sloped, so when I was in bed I was literally rolled to one side, which resulted in my falling on the floor once! I could feel every spring in that bed, the most horiffic bed I've EVER been in. We were given a sheet and cover, and that was it. The heating went off at midnight and me, yes the mouse with her own internal boiler, laid shivering all night, trying to wrap herself in towels to keep warm. Why didn't we call reception to complain I hear you call, mainly because there was no phone in the room (which is bizarre) and it takes an entire 10 minutes to walk the maze of corridors to get to our room. To be honest, if there was a fire, we would be dead. The room was a corner one, offering two windows of two different streets...both with several different nightclubs/bars and through glass which was about as thick as a human hair we heard every single word spoken.
We were booked in for breakfast, not something I usually eat, but hey I'll give it a go...of which I did, well we made it to the "restaurant" which smelt and looked worse than anything I've ever seen, so we kinda looked at each other and walked back to the room, sorry I mean treked back to the room to just get out of that place.
When going for checkout, I handed my key in...and was told.."goodbye" right then...did customer service also get swallowed within the credit crunch?
We had our day at Blackpool, which was cold and foggy but it was a day out none the less. We did the SeaLife Centre, oh how I love sharks, they were beautiful, I could have sat and watched them all day long.
I would say the sea was beautiful too, only...I couldn't see it because of the fog, so ya know, I assume it was beautiful.
Just before we were leaving, we were going to cross the road and a german shepherd came running straight at me...oh, my heart broke. I miss you so much Midi, I really do.
Anyways, I still feel pappy so I'm going to chill (Not literally tonight!!) and watch Frost with hubby and my new King Louie my hubby bought me :)
Take care out there and watch out for evil hotels!

Ahh the joys of politics
Look at this, it's not even Thursday and I've gone all political. Mainly because of Mr Brown and his "bright idea" to cut VAT down by 2.5% to get people spending, coming into effect on Monday. Stupid, just stupid, the shops won't pass on the decrease and it wouldn't encourage me to spend more anyways plus it'll cost us in the long run. Infact, it's costing me already, I have month end, year end on Friday and now I have to update the system to take the new VAT rate...(Still working on how to actually do that) and because of all this I'm missing college and an exam, which I have to sit the following week. So, yes, I've lost out already as I've also got to catch up any work I miss this week too! (It's a good job that I was ahead with my work in the first place, but that's not the point!)
To top it all off we have auditors coming in too, which is beyond unfun, it's not a very good time really. I've got two more days to have holidays on, I can't have Fridays because I'm at college (usually) I can't have Christmas Eve off because that's our month end...I don't know when I'm going to take them, plus my boss always starts twitching whenever I even mention the "H" word...
Oh, and it just started raining, oh joy.
We've got footy on tonight, some European rubbish which means my lil team won't be playing (To be fair we played yesterday...and I don't want to talk about it) but my hubby's will, so that should be something to watch I guess...
I've sorted out hubby's Christmas presents (I'm not telling you what they are...because he reads this too) and they're wrapped, but I'm still awaiting a list of what everyone else wants! Although, I'm not looking forward to Christmas too much this year, I miss my lil doodle a lot :(
I've got a lil Scooby doo on my desk at work now, as a reminder to my baby, and also a big picture of him on my wall. We should be getting his ashes back this week sometime, I hope so, I've never been away from him for this long in his entire life.
Well enough rambling for one day I guess, just waiting for my boss to get back with some milk so we can have a nice hot drink...to say this office is freezing.
Taketh Careth and be good (I don't want to know what you're good at)

Mouse is just waiting for hubby to get ready and then we can go out, need to get a birthday present and some more wax worms for Freddy and Stumpy. Still got the snuffles but my head is a little clearer today. Got a banging headache though...and miss my lil poochy a lot :(
Well anyways, I should probably go check to see how hubby is getting on or we're never gonna get out of here at this rate.
Until the next time,

Tough weekend this one, really missing Midi a lot. It's really no fun. We're awaiting his ashes to be returned, cuz he should be with his Mummy and he's never been away from me for this long and boy does it hurt.
I'm missing a few peeps too, they're not about when I need them, ya know you would have thought that I would have figured out that those aren't really friends, they're never there when I need them, which is the basis of friendship. Something to think about, at some point, I guess.
Take care out there

Another day...
Well, things aren't as bad today, but that may be from getting absolutely NO sleep last night and having a day at work. The amount of coffee I have had is rather scary...and it's only 4pm.
We've got a new washing machine coming tomorrow, so we're trying to get the old one out, which isn't as easy as it seems as it's full of water, but I'm sure hubby can sort...and if not, I'll sort it out when I get home :)
Salem is doing a little better, he likes his new bed and we got one of Mid's teddy's out, Mutt, for him to sleep with, he seems to like that, but he's still following me to the back door, it's just so sad :(
Well, I'ma gonna go and be whappy now on my coffee and sleep deprivation, and hopefully the washing machine should turn up tomorrow and all be well...

I thought that I would drop a note, just to say things are really hard, I miss my lil boy like mad. I'm not the only one, Salem is pining for him and it's just heartbreaking. He keeps going to the back door, thinking we're gonna let Mid in...or just meowing while sniffing around where Midi slept. I don't know what to do with him, I've tried to explain to him that Midi was too poorly to come back home, but he's a cat, he doesn't understand.
I think we're in for the long haul on this one, and I wouldn't wish this on anyone, ever.

Coffee, Chocolate and animals
Well, the weekend, so far, hasn't been great. After being woke up at rediculous o clock yesterday, by our next door neighbour, who decided it was the best time to use a circular saw which kinda rattled our entire house, I was slightly sleepy the whole day. We popped to Tesco to get some bits and bobs (mainly bits cuz bob was still AWOL) , then Jamie had a craving for some pie...so I took him to a shop he's not been to in years, only to find out that it shuts at 2pm...and we got there at 2.10pm and was...clearly shut. We went to the pet shop to go get some more bones for the dog and some silk worms for the geckos....They've decided to change the layout of the shop and as soon as you walk in, you're met with a...memorial display for your dog, needless to say, I swallowed hard, wiped my eyes and carried on, quickly, into the shop.
Watching X-Factor last night was my worst mistake, being moved by music is one thing, having an evening of Mariah Carey songs is another, and many times the words hit home and my flood gates opened, really not much fun.
We've got the Nottingham trip to see WWE on Wednesday, timing is horiffic and I'm in two minds whether to go at all to be honest, have to see how things go this week and take it a day at a time. It's just a horrid time.
Anyways, congratulations to Mr Joe Calzaghi, who won his final boxing match last night, retiring while on the top, that's the way to go...although I'll miss having him around (I'll admit it, I fell asleep before it started, 3am was too much after the unplanned early morning wake up). We still have Mr Hatton, who is fighting the end of this month...so hopefully, another success.
Right, I'ma out of here, gonna wake up Mr Grumpy so we can go get some coffee and chocolate and probably just chill for the day, I managed to do my homework, well the financial side, just the whole computering side to do, oh joy.

A quiet weekend of homework and poochy
Well, after a hard day at college (My brain went AWOL sometime last night and hasn't been seen since) and some shopping and coffee later, I'm all cozy on the settee with my poochy on his bed and my hubby doing something on his computer...
This weekend I have two intentions: get my homework done and spend a load of time with poochy...because he's really kinda struggling now...we're planning on taking him to the vets next week to see what she says and decide from there. This is horrid and I don't ever wanna go through this again, ever...it hurts far too much.
Anyways, have a good weekend out there, and be good...at whatever you're good at...

America, Presidents and madness
So, America, has a new president....eight long years with the....actually, I don't think there has been a word invented, as yet, to quite cover what Bush was. Now, the problem I have is how this is being reported...I don't care if anyone in power is black, white, pink, green, yellow, blue or even grey, so long as they do a good job, Surely, that's all that should matter? When Tony Blair had his landslide victory, no one stated it was "Another white man as prime minister" I don't care what colour he was, so long as he did a good job, obviously he didn't but that's not the point. Skin colour should be something that doesn't come into the mind. Its the person and how they act/what they say etc. But I guess there is still a lot of racism around, it just irks me because I wanna have an opinion on someone that's developed from their character, nothing else, because....lets be honest, nothing else really matters.
Sorry, it's Thursday night and we watch Question Time and This Week, so I'm in a political mode, plus I'm trying to take my mind off the poochy...he's not doing so well and it's hurting...a lot. But, we have a cunning plan and that's to spend the whole weekend with him, spoiling him and trying to put a smile on his face, after that...it's in the lap of the Gods...
I have college tomorrow, after a fortnight break, I need to check and fill my bag as, for the day I am, as my hubby lovingly calls me a "bloody student". It is like going back many years, and although I enjoy the course, it's kinda hard to keep kicking the lil kids outta the way when I'm trying to get to class...
So, I need to go spend some more time with the poochy and sort my studenty things out..
Take care out there..

Another Doctor...another diagnosis...
Okies, apparently my appendix isn't the bad guy here, which is both a relief and, well what's actually wrong isn't so much fun (I won't go into details) but I won't die from it, which is always something you're looking for if you do have something wrong with you.
I'll tell you one thing though, the amount of sympathy and looking after I was getting from hubby...has disappeared, it's amazing what stamping "non-life threatening" on something will do for you :( Ah well, things are back to normal.
Right, I'ma gonna go chill because I've had enough for one day.
Take care all

...Still here...
Just thought that I would drop a line to let you know that I've not let the appendix win, yet. Still in pain, all very strange and I'm at the point where I would like it to either go away or come out properly so I can get it sorted. It's VERY irritating and not much fun.
Work has been beyond hectic and I only just managed to find some of my desk before I left today, so another hectic day coming up...
Anyways, I'm real sleepy so I'ma gonna go chill and watch my hubby's team, Liverpool, try and come back from being 1-0 down...heh
Take care out there, until the next time...

Owies and hospitals
Well, mousey's life...sucks. Woke up this morning with a pain..in the right side of my tummy, made me throw up...and so a trip to the doctors was in order...and apparenly, my appendix doesn't like me too much. I have a very poorly appendix and I have to ensure the pain gets no worse, because if it does mousey has to have her first ever operation which, well, ain't happening if I have anything to do with it.
So hubby and Mousey having a few arguments as to how much I'm supposed to be resting, but just to let you all know, if I disappear for a while I will have lost a battle with my appendix and I will be in hospital :(
Take care out there,

Ow...
Well, I did a very lazy thing today, I ordered the grocery shopping online to be delivered to the house. Now before you all say I'ma lazy mouse, let me explain... My darling hubby doesn't drive, he just does the biker thing, so for the past 8 ish years, I've been doing the shopping without a break (Even when I had mumps, I had to shuffle around the supermarket like an over-grown, food collected in it's cheeks, hamster) so, after having flu, waiting at work to do good ol' month end I decided to be well....bloody lazy..
But, it's the first time I've ever done any online grocery and I'll admit it, I made one or two errors. For example, I buy multi-bag crisps, so there are lots of different variety, what I didn't notice was that I didn't order those but ordered individual packets of crisps...whoops. I excelled myself on the potatoes though and managed to order four big bags full, so...that's a lot of potatoes really...all in all, it wasn't so bad and I didn't forget anything major, although I'll probably never do it again and I'll chalk this one down to experience.
Ya know, it's quite a horrid feeling when your head feels like you have it in a vice and someone keeps tightening it...meanie, Bob ain't happy.
I keep checking deliveries for my Wii Fit and skiing, SO coola, can't wait for it to arrive at the shop so I can go pick it up, may be next week now though, I don't know, the mystery that is the post, ya just never know when it's gonna show and more importantly, when they're gonna let you know that it's arrived...
Ya know, this happened a few weeks ago, we were on holiday and went to Glastonbury for the day and I decided to get my ear pierced again....so we find a tattooist who does the old stab stab and I got in and this lovely lady, who said she didn't believe in guns when peiricing but prefered the good ol' needle,...asked would I prefer a stud or a hoop? I went for hoop, after bad experiences with hair getting wrapped around the stud, anyways, we go through to one of the cubicles, I gets a seat on a nice medical bed and have a backwards view of what she's about to do it me via a mirror mounted on the opposite wall. She gets the box of hoops out, looks at them, then my ear and puts them away muttering "I think you'll need a bigger one"...I had but one quick through across my mind which was something in the region of "Did she just call my ears fat?"...so anyways, I gets a lovely hoop which is green, of course, so she sorts out the piercing, puts the hoop in and gets a peice of paper towel....but then sits and looks at me as though I'd just grown another head..."Are you sure you're human? You're not bleeding" hey, what can I say, my body is hardcore too and avoids bleeding unless going for a lil attention...
Anyways, after she makes me sit there for a few more minutes to make sure my blood wasn't playing some form of peeky boo with her, we gets on our way. We go to the best cafe EVER invented EVER and have a lovely latte out in the warmish sun. It's at this point my hubby looks and admires my beautiful, blood-free piercing...and then it happens.."I wouldn't mind getting my lobe pierced again, Let's have a look at where your three are in your lobe" slight pause..."Whoa, you've got HUGE lobes!! You have three peircings in your lobe! My third one will have to go into cartiledge." It was around this point that the woman's words came back to me and I realise, I shall be ever thought of as Dumbo, it's amazing how 10 minutes of your life can change the way you look at yourself, no longer mouse, I'm now the bloody elephant!!!
Ahem, the reason why I mention this is because I was covering my ears ealier due to another unprovoked attack about me having big ears! Now, if you ask him, he'll say that "I wasn't saying your ears are big, more that mine are small"...uh huh, now remember I'm of the female variety and have the right to take anything you say and twist how ever I deem fit, welcome to the world of the mouse.
Okies, I have a serious pile of homework that needs addressing, so, as always, take care of yourselves and I shall be around...at some point, oh! and in honour of it being All Hallow's Eve last night, check me out as Morticia Mouse :)
muhahahaha

Sleep deprivation and green genies
After complaining yesterday with regards to being so tired, I've managed to get NO sleep at all last night, so I'm at work (Got in an hour and a half early) completely amazed with the outside world I've not seen for three whole days..
To say I'm feeling a little rough wouldn't really cut it, the words I would use to describe how I feel aren't really appropriate for this kind of blog, but I'm sure you can all come up with some by yourselves.
I've make the executive decision that once I've completed month end procedure I shall be going home to go and pass out and dream of green genies...Although, the better idea would be to keep going today so that I can actually sleep tonight...Either way, as soon as post arrives and I've completed month end I'm outta here...
I apologise now for any typos but I have my cool blood like nails on, and they're reather long so I'm tending to type two letters instead of the one that I actually want, plus the fact that my brain is AWOL and I still feel like plop I'm not checking it like I usually do...
Its rather chilly out there today, or so I've been told, my temperature is through the roof, bar my legs, which is realy weird, they're all cold again...I really should keep a blanket in my drawer..
I'm babbling, I'm aware of this but I'm waiting post which doesn't get here until something after 11.30am which is far too late, when all I want to do is curl up somewhere and go sleepies..
Wow, I've just been into the factory and it's freezing in there! I'm sat back in the office with my coat on and scarf over my legs! Trying to stay awake is rather hard these days. I remember the good ol' days when I could do an alnighter, pull off a day of work and still be fine to do it more than four times a week...without battering an eye lid...too much. Got to love caffiene...in any form it may come.
Still awaiting post....so sleepy.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Duck girl did learn something new today, as did the mouse....apparently diarys lie about time differences and New Zealand is more than 12 hours in front of us! See now you've learnt something too! Not to mention the bloke she got out of bed so he could answer the phone...whoops.
POST IS HERE!!!
Laterz!

Bird flu vs Mouse...
Okay, so it's regular flu, but damn it's knocked me for six. Thats why I've not been updating my blog, I've mainly been sleeping and trying to keep my temperature below 300 degrees (I may be exagerating slightly but you get the idea) My fever broke last night which was the least fun I've had in ages, and I'm feeling...ugh today....but I thought that I would pop on so you all know I didn't up and die...
I have to go into work tomorrow as it's month end, so I hate to think what state I'll be in when i get there, I seriously feel like I've not slept in a week and yet, that's what I've been doing most of the time...weird.
I gotta go out the house tomorrow anyways, it's All Hallow's Eve, and, although we tend not to do the dress up thing here :( (I seriously want SJP's Witch outfit from the film, Hocus Pocus, and am currently in negotiations for a bet for me to wear that when I'm on holiday next year in Glastonbury)..I do have some wicked nails which are black, the tips red and they "drip" in to the main nail like blood, so cool. Mouse has only done Hallowe'en properly once, a few years ago when she went as Morticia Mouse, heh that was fun and people are weird, they all said that the goth looked suited me...now don't get me wrong, nuffin wrong with goth, I like goth...I'm not really into black make-up and black nails, not really my thing, but some of the clothes I've seen are beyond beautiful, so watch this space, I may enter Gothdem in my own sweet time :)
Okies, time for another mug of tea and getting cozy on the settee, hopefully Mouse will be better and be around more shortly :)
Don't do anything I wouldn't..

Cold...cold.....COLD!!!
I am, by far, a winter person, mainly because I seem to have my own inbuilt boiler that ensures my body always stays at a toasty 95oC...so when autumn/winter roll around I'm a happy mouse...however, today is COLD and for some unknown reason my boiler has been disconnected today so I am frozen, I can't feel my legs. I think I may be poorly, the occasional sneezes and banging headache I have are just some of the clues I have pointing that way..
It's got to the stage were we have both radiators on and the office door shut, I think that I deserve some sympathy, from someone...somewhere...
I'm still in budget hell, but I can finally see light at the end of the tunnel with them and I hope to complete them today...but, the most pressing thing on my mind is the fact...I can't feel my legs, they're starting to get painful now with how cold they are...I don't think that's a good thing and neither is me sitting at my desk rubbing them frantically, I just don't think its the company image that they're trying to portray...
I'm contemplating taking the day off when we go see WWE in Nottingham and visiting Nottingham Castle, I'm not sure yet, my head hurts and I've found that making decisions while that's hurting is a bad move and leads to regret. However, my extra long, extra knitted scarf has come to the rescue and I now look like those of the older generation, sat on the sea-front with blankets over their knees, you know what? They're really on to something there...
Well, we've had another birth in the family, we have another baby fish, or baby boggle fish, as we like to call them (they're really balloon mollies for those that care) He's a lil cutie and about -- that long, we've given him his own nursery as we do have sharks and other fish which would like to make him their lunch, and that's really not a good thing.
Okies, apparently the computers here are shutting down as they see fit...so, I'ma save this and maybe write laters...
Stay safe out there..

SuperCross
Just got back from Sheffield Arena and watching Supercross (motorcross indoors)...it was fantastic! We were nearer the garage doors this time, so I've only a slight headache and I didn't, this time, have any fear lighting up a ciggie in case I went up in a big bang!
No one, luckily, was injured this year (We've seen some nasty ones over the past few years) and it was just a fun time :)
Okies, I know it's a short post but I'ma gonna chill for a lil and...I've run outta things to say :O it's a miracle, I know.

Saw V...
I've finally seen Saw V, and yes, the ending had my jaw on the floor....for ALL the wrong reasons..The thoughts in my head when my jaw hit the floor were "...wow, this is the end, there is no twist"...talk about an anti-climax, so the adverts were correct "You won't believe the ending" I didn't, mainly because....it wasn't exactly a twist...at all, it was a straight forward film. It filled in some blanks (I won't go into details for those who wish to see it but have yet to) I'm not, actually, disappointed in the actual film, it was certainly better than IV....oh, well another year until we get to VI, the final chapter...
I'm real exhausted so I'ma not putting much tonight, I'll catch you alls another time..
Take care out there..

Looking through the black/grey/white/green haze type thing
This fantastic title is brough to you by....DUCK GIRL! (She vetoed the whole lady thing and stuck with girl, can't say I blame her...nor that it makes much difference either way, but, just in case you're wondering, Duck Girl is formally known as Duck Lady [AFKADL for short])
I'll apologise now for my state of mind, I'm not doing too well today, getting the snuffles, banging headache, I think Nora the germ is back, which doesn't bode well for being in snotsville while being at the cinema, but we shall see...
Things are pretty quiet on the work front today, still have budgets to do but I'm only here for the morning and there is a management meeting...as I speak complete chaos decends upon our company, the book man has arrived and after 10 minutes of figuring who owes what, he realises that he has a pound too much, after Bob, finally kicks in to my brain I realise that £4.00 + £3.50 = £7.50 and not the £8.50 I gave him, and yes, I work in accounts, I DID say that my brain was fried this morning! I just told the guy that next time he should come with his accountant and then it wouldn't have been so painful...
I'm gloating a little, everyone else bought cookery books, snowman place mats and the mighty mouse has come away with a book with regards to the first world war (The fact I have no intention of ever reading it is irrelevant) I'm the intellectual amongst the entire office!!! :)
Two hours and twentyfive minutes until I get to leave and I may even have to have a nap before the cinema, to say I'm drained is an understatement, my head hurts so bad that I even had to turn down the coffee today, sticking to tea....tis a painful yet intellectual day in the world of the mouse...
Oh no! There is an emergency at the office, we're out of milk!! No tea!!! Not good!! I may have to go down and see "the man who talks too fast and confuses Duck Girl" I may have to think of a shorter version of that name, I believe they may have a secret stash of milk, or maybe, one better, a cow they can go milk!
Right, I shall be back later, after I've seen Saw V!
Goodbyas out there and no doing anything I wouldn't do!
Until the next time...(probably later on today)

Saw Eve and general ramblings
well, tis the eve of Saw V and I've just finished watching Saw IV again. My husband has given me his prediction and I disagree completely, mainly because I don't want to have any ideas of the "right ending" before I've seen it, I've a few ideas of my own but nothing to back them up, more how I would like the story to go more than anything...
I'll admit it, if it's a thriller/psychological film, there is nothing worse for me than me figuring it out before I get to the end, when that twist, which is meant to leave you with your jaw on the floor, just has me nodding, confirming what I already knew is beyond disappointing to me. The reason for this is simple, in life, as in film, I take people on face value, the character they portray, or are as in real life, is the one I go with, so if it gets to the stage that I know who the "real bad guy is" before it's revealed, the film has failed me, it has been too obvious, whether intentionally, or at a more subconscious level. Saw III was guilty of this, I didn't have the details worked out, but I didn't have the "Oh my gosh...no, I never saw that one coming" reaction at the end, because my brain had figured most of it out for me. (Bob, obviously, didn't want to play swing ball then)
Saw IV didn't give me that, mainly because I have issues watching films that are not in chronological order, so at the end of that film, the lights came up, I turned to my hubby and said "I am so confused". The BEST film ending that had me bowled over, literally, was Ripper, fantastic film and still kinda gets me when I think about it...and Saw, the original film, I didn't see that ending coming either. I don't look for the clues that may or may not be there, I let the film take me where it wants to, I just hope, by putting that much faith in it, it doesn't let me down in the end but....so many films do.
I believe there is to be a Saw VI, which will be the last one to tidy up all the open ends, so I'm expecting a fair few big questions to remain unanswered, I'm hoping it's less confusing and a better film in general than the last two have been, but I shall know that tomorrow...
You know, I've come to realise this blog this is kinda fun and it's nice to talk about what I think without that bored look on people's faces when I start ranting, my computer is nice to me like that, lets me babble and doesn't once tell me to shut up...if I get booted offline now, I'm gonna take that personally....ok, I'm still connected lets move on quick..
You ever get that feeling you know something, completely without...well, anything to back it up? I've got that going on right now, it's not the first time and I doubt it'll be the last time, but that's where I am. hmm how much am I willing to share...I'm looking for someone I've not seen in a few years, lost contact with, if you like, and the years mellow you to people's actions and growing up makes you see that things aren't always black and white, they're mainly grey. Don't get me wrong, I still like to see the world in black and white, because that's core to who I am, but I'm aware of the grey areas and once, every so often, I stumble across them and have to have a fight within my head as to where I stand on it...I think I went off on a tangent there again, anyways, I wrote to this person, as Mouse 007 has tracked them down, but no response. This is where my feeling kicks in, it's not that they don't want to contact me, it's because they are...there isn't quite the word I want here, available to my brain right now, they're not scared, nor worried per se, more that they are....well, concerned is the wrong word too...Without details, they did something that I find hard to forgive, and I'm your typical "forgive but never forget", however this was really hard to forgive and I'm not sure I ever will, completely. However, we all make mistakes, I know this just as much, if not more, than other people and I need this person back in my life.
So, I've written again, managed to get a phone number for somewhere I believe they're connected to and, not bombarded them, but I'm not giving up. Someone once told me that I can be quite stubborn at times....when I say one person I really mean most people who know me, so I'm not giving up because I think we can both benefit from getting back in touch and short of turning up on their doorstep (It's rather further than the trip to Birmingham hubby was whining about last night) I'm doing the best I can, although there will come a time when I'm prepared to admit they don't want to get back in touch, that time has not come as yet so we shall see. This brings me nicely onto another topic, when is trying to get in touch with someone become stalking? There must come a time when you cross that line, I think I'm safe at the moment but it's something I shall be monitoring, just in case...
Well, I think that mouse needs to do something other than type a load of ramblings, I do have other things to do, although it may not appear that way!
Until next time,
Mouse x

It's a cold day in Mouse land
So, here I am, back at work, my life is fun packed, you really don't have to point that out to me, I already know. A correction on my first blog "Old Skool" where my lovely hubby pointed out that Acountancy wasn't voted the most boring occupation, it was the least sexy. This coming from a man that works in IT...talk about nerdy!!
So, anyways, I sorted out parking and travel to Nottingham, by my estimation, even if it were rush hour, it would take less than an hour, so if you're ever stuck for directions....NEVER ask my husband. Actually, he could have just been winding me up, I don't know, it's hard to tell sometimes....
I'm going to be in budget hell for most of the day, which means this blog, probably ain't gonna get much written, but you never know, I'm world reknowned for my multi-tasking skills, although when I say world reknowned, I really mean...just that I can multi-task...
I have done a monumental thing, I have booked Saw V tickets for tomorrow afternoon as I've booked the afternoon off work! I'm SO excited about finally seeing it, it had better be good...or...I'll be disappointed....
I've just noticed, I've put a poster on my wall entitled "Sayings we'd like to see on those office inspriation posters", it's one of those email lists you get and I have two of my favourite sayings on there!
"Rome did not create a great empire by having meetings, they did it by killing all those who opposed them." - there is only one slight problem with this one, I'm running out of places to hide the bodies...
and my ultimate favourite one:
"Go the extra mile, it makes your boss look like an incompetent slacker"..this is both amusing and true.
You might have noticed that I'm struggling and floundering in writing this blog right now, that would be because I am running on a few hours sleep and I've not had enough coffee yet, although my tummy keeps warning me not too, cuz I feel sick, but hey, I'm a trooper, and coffee IS my friend.
Tis the afternoon and I'm all alone in the mighty accounts office, you might have noticed that I don't use people's names, because for one, that would be unfair, but mainly because I don't wanna hear the whining and bitching that would happen should I put names on here and they find out. So, me and Duck Lady (She doesn't know this yet, and if she doesn't like the name I've given she can vito it) are going to come up with suitable nicknames for the office peoples!
It could be exciting and amusing, well we'll be amused anyways, it doesn't take much around here :)
I can hear the budget's calling my name, so for now, fair blog I must leave you, but I shall return, at some point, I don't know where or when but it'll at least keep all one of you that's reading this thinking...
Take care out there and wrap up warm!!

So, anyways, I sorted out parking and travel to Nottingham, by my estimation, even if it were rush hour, it would take less than an hour, so if you're ever stuck for directions....NEVER ask my husband. Actually, he could have just been winding me up, I don't know, it's hard to tell sometimes....
I'm going to be in budget hell for most of the day, which means this blog, probably ain't gonna get much written, but you never know, I'm world reknowned for my multi-tasking skills, although when I say world reknowned, I really mean...just that I can multi-task...
I have done a monumental thing, I have booked Saw V tickets for tomorrow afternoon as I've booked the afternoon off work! I'm SO excited about finally seeing it, it had better be good...or...I'll be disappointed....
I've just noticed, I've put a poster on my wall entitled "Sayings we'd like to see on those office inspriation posters", it's one of those email lists you get and I have two of my favourite sayings on there!
"Rome did not create a great empire by having meetings, they did it by killing all those who opposed them." - there is only one slight problem with this one, I'm running out of places to hide the bodies...
and my ultimate favourite one:
"Go the extra mile, it makes your boss look like an incompetent slacker"..this is both amusing and true.
You might have noticed that I'm struggling and floundering in writing this blog right now, that would be because I am running on a few hours sleep and I've not had enough coffee yet, although my tummy keeps warning me not too, cuz I feel sick, but hey, I'm a trooper, and coffee IS my friend.
Tis the afternoon and I'm all alone in the mighty accounts office, you might have noticed that I don't use people's names, because for one, that would be unfair, but mainly because I don't wanna hear the whining and bitching that would happen should I put names on here and they find out. So, me and Duck Lady (She doesn't know this yet, and if she doesn't like the name I've given she can vito it) are going to come up with suitable nicknames for the office peoples!

Oh Robin Hood, pray may you give me directions?
The tale of finding Nottingham Arena continues. My ever-so-helpful, sarcastic hubby has googled the old fella and, apparently, he believes it'll take us 3 to 4 days to get there, if it's busy as it's on back roads. What my darling husband fails to realise is that he's completely and utterly useless when it comes to directions, journey times...and anything of that nature. Apologies, I was interupted then, by the aforementioned bloke, see we have another adventure coming up in Janaury, we're off to see TNA in Birmingham, I know where this is and how to get there, but he's whining about the distance, plus the fact he wanted me to start a website entitled www.whydidIbuythesetickets.com he's such a delightful gentleman.
...oh, apparently I have to park in the city centre...uh, not so good, does anyone else in blog land know where I can park my beloved car that won't get bullet holes in the side of it? ahh plop...this keeps getting worse, apparently the car park we have to use is the evil one I lost my car in when I had to dump it there and grab a taxi so I could get to a building I was having an exam in Nottingham a while a go...it took me an HOUR to find my damn car!! Ugh, my life sucks and nothing is easy....which makes me wonder WHY I'm actually going in the first place, it's a lot of hard work without much reward...
This will continue, no doubt, as hubby frantically searches sites for a bullet-proof vest. This could end badly..(I think my husband and I are gonna come to blows about this, put a tenner on the mouse to win...I'm still undefeated on Nintendo Wii boxing)
Keep tuned,

Old Skool Introduction
You might well wonder at the title, because as you read this blog you'll find that it has nothing to do with "old Skool", I merely put that there because it causes my hubby to twitch, he REALLY doesn't like it...so I thought it would be a rather uh, productive way of introducing everyone to the world of a green mouse.
I don't know what you were expecting when you "stumbled" on to this blog, but I'll bet you don't get anything near exciting out of this. I thought that I should be up front about the whole thing and therefore negaite any further action you may deem appropriate...like demanding the time back from me it took you to read this in the first place...I'll tell you now, for free, it ain't happening :)
Anyways, after saying all that, I don't know what to write about, I'm currently at work (shhhh don't tell the boss)
I'll confess it now, my career, as my husband gleefully informed me, came top of the listener's vote for Talk sport radio, for being the most boring one ever...Accountancy. I love it, Mary Poppins was right, when "my heart would overflow with joy of totalling up a balance book."
I guess I should tell you a lil more about myself, you've discovered so far that a) I like to wind my husband up and b) I work and love accountancy...wow, I'm not surprised now, that the little voice in my head left through sheer boredom...but I still have it's twin brother Bob, whom, it seems, likes the fact my brain doesn't usually bother me unless it wants to play swing ball.
Anyways, on to what I'm up to for the week. It's a week full of work, no college for two weeks, so I'm here Monday to Friday, and like Dolly Parton sings "working 9 til 5"
On Friday, I'm hoping we get around to seeing Saw 5, I've been waiting for it for a year now, which in film land, isn't that long, but still I am hoping it answers a few questions, although I'll bet it leaves some wide open for Saw 6...For those of you familiar with the Saw franchise, I am pleased to say I now fully understand Saw IV, it only took me a few thousand times of watching it on DVD and then listening to the commentry while my hubby tried to explain it...even the pie chart he used didn't help...Having said all that, I want to watch it again before we watch Saw V and then I can, hopefully, follow Saw V and then await Saw VI...
After a trip to the cinema on Friday, Saturday, we will be off to good ole Sheffield Arena (HallamFM Arena since it sold out) to watch Motorcross...which is great fun, except the obvious flaw that it's done INSIDE the arena with just a back door open, needless to say we both come away smelling like petrol heads and with a headache that makes you feel you've drank waayyyy too much. I know this is a real long shot, but we've been going for the last few years and two years ago, I was sat next to this guy, ohhh he was...lovely, big build, longish dark hair, black leather jacket, and we were talking alot, about the bikes...and if only my hubby wasn't there...and I wasn't married all happily like....ya know...well...uhh I don't know where I'm going with this other than I'd like to sit next to him again, he was a serious babe...
Ahem, I think we should move on quickly, because, no doubt, I'ma gonna be in trouble for that...
That's a point, we're off to Nottingham Arena in November to watch WWE SmackDown...I need to find out where Nottingham Arena is (I'm guessing Nottingham, but that's as far as I've got so far) I'm sure my trusty TomTom will be able (With the aid of Mr T's voice who won't take ANY of my jibber jabber and threatens to jump outta of my tomtom when I so much as look down another road that isn't on his route) to get me there safely...
I've got a banging headache today, it's really irritiating me, it's made even worse by the Office Princess who, in Mr T's own words, won't "stop all the jibber jabber", she's in a seperate office from me, down the hall, through reception and then on to her end office, but blooming heck, that girl is LOUD when she wants to be, I went and shut her office door, but the hint doesn't appear to be taken, tis a hard life, sometimes, being the Green Mouse...
I'm currently completely sleep deprivated, which makes me a lot more whappy than normal. Coffee is my friend, it, just about, gets me through the day...It's because of my beloved poochy, named Midnight Shadow, only called that when he's really naughty and I'm ranting at him, he's usually known as Mid or Midi...or Scooby Doo. I've had Mid since he was 10 weeks old and I had him at a point in my life when I didn't really have anyone else...He's got a bad skin condition, and although he's happy enough in himself, he's losing his fur, which isn't re-growing, but to me, he'll always be the most beautiful dog in the world. Recently, because of his treatment of steroids over the past 4 or 5 years, they're catching him up and starting to eat away at his muscles meaning he can no longer get upstairs and sleep in our bedroom, as he has since he was a pup. It's so sad to see him getting older and with him being downstairs now, I'm getting up earlier to check on him and going to bed later so I can just be with him...
...speaking of coffee, I think I need to go get some more... :)
Well, I'ma out of here for now Mouse and her coffee need some private time, I shall be back, at some point, if I remember the login or even the fact I have a blog...
Take care out there...
