So, I’m being lazy tonight and writing my diary from the comfort of my own bed…bliss! This is for one of two reasons;
1: I’m feeling lazy after yet another day of the taxing swine flu.
2: I am completely hooked (line and sinker) to Big Brother right now! I cannot explain how happy I am that the vindictive Noirin has been evicted. In the wise words of Bea, she is indeed ‘a proper little Hussy’!

I really need to do something about my finances, after a particularly dry month, the old bank balance is veering towards the DANGER zone. Any donations may be sent to bank account number 123….as if!

Just for a change of events it’s pouring outside. Good thing I’m not required to venture out doing any promotional work this week!

Whilst reading Heat Magazine last night I came across a new lipbalm that’s just hit the shelves at HQ Hair…BURNER BALM! Not only does it promise to suppress hunger, boost energy levels AND burn fat (phew!), but it also promises to do the laundry, feed the dog and cook the dinner! Okay…so that last part wasn’t true. And more to the point, the first part probably isn’t either!
I imagine a lot of lazy sods will buy into it too – seeing it as another excuse of why they should eat junk and not exercise. Hmm I think i’ll eat a burger then put my burner balm on and i’ll not gain any weight! Pfft.

Had to renew the car tax today, or rather my Mother had to do it for me whilst I laid in bed a snivelling wreck. This swine flu lark is really very irritating. Im hoping for a vast improvement then I can get on with my shopping trip to Harrogate with L next week.

Today, I also discovered a gorgeous new Essie nail varnish that I recommend you go out and buy right this instant!
It’s called Wild Thing and is described as ‘ferociously sparkling wine’. Yum. At around £5 a bottle from the Essie online boutique, a girl can’t really go wrong.

I find it extremely frustrating when you yourself are on the receiving end of an unfortunate event that one would normally consider amusing. This particular event was wrestling with my umbrella in the merciless wind and rain in the middle of a busy town centre. Lets just say that the weather won and the hair on a rats tail would have looked immaculate in comparison to my own.

Received a letter from V, my landlady. She wrote to kindly inform me that certain items would no longer be provided in my new rented house. Items that had been previously noted on an inventory. ‘The items cannot be provided due to hygiene reasons’ she stated. These said items include; bedroom curtains, a bedside lamp, a kitchen bin and a sink plug. . . Oh My, one would never have thought a pair of curtains could be so deadly. Get ready for the peepshow neighbours!

On a horrible note…It is official. I have caught the dreaded Swine Flu. The NHS confirmed this for me today. I am now a prisoner in my own home and must not leave for SEVEN days. What’s a girl to do with so much time and so little to do? I think online shopping will become the number one order of the day. After Jeremy Kyle of course.

Had to take the car to the garage today for it’s service. I hate not having my car, it wasnt like I was going out anywhere but, still…

The parents picked me up in The Beast and also threw in a breakfast sub and a coffee…happy days!

Had to hide out in the hallway today away from all of the windows as soon as I heard the window cleaners arrived.

Mum: Why do you always have to hide when the window cleaners come? Theyre nice people!’
Me: ‘Yes mum, theyre nice to you but Im guessing they dont bang on the window and blow kisses at you do they?’
*cue laughter*

I’ve spent the rest of my day ebaying. You really wouldn’t think ebay would be so complicated, but between the visitor counter and ‘buy it now’ option, i’m screwed. Everybody else seems to get it apart from me. You know it’s bad when youre not clever enough to sell on ebay. How I managed to enrol on a degree course I just do not know…

Due to other commitments, I have regrettably abandoned the old diary for some time. As of today, I intend to keep one again…honest.

I’ve been sat at home all day feeling under the weather and seriously hoping I don’t have the beginnings of Piglet Cold. Or as it is correctly named, the dreaded Swine Flu. Causing fear and uproar to hypochondriacs worldwide.
I heard that i’d have to stay in the house for ten or so days, with no contact with another human being if it was confirmed that I did have it.

I must say, even though my great love of Jeremy Kyle is well…great and somewhat unrequited, I do not think I could stick ten days of daytime TV. Even though it is rather amusing to find out that Sharon’s daughter Kiera actually belongs to her fiance Daves’ father Justin, who is secretly a bigamist and a raging alcoholic! It’s all about the drama…
