So busy thinking about everything today that I forgot whose birthday it was.

Right that's that one sorted and only just in time too.
Honestly, if my head wasn't screwed on right . . .

My concious self need to tell my subconcious that it is really NOT good to think that Ian Thorpe is in anyway gorgeous. Let me explain: Around 2001 I started to sort of think that Ian Thorpe, the ex-swimmer, was quite good looking (OK I admit it, I went into drool mode whenever I saw him, but hey I was divorced, and I just happened to be a bit like a bitch on heat, any old dog will do) This lasted for the next couple of years, and then I discovered Michael Schumacher and lost interest in the Thorpedo.
*One moment please, just started grinning inanely at thought of Schumi.*
That's better. So of course, Ian Thorpe forgotten I went into happy drool mode whenever Schumi won at Grand Prix (which was pretty regular or was it just whenever his face appeared on TV?) Now he shares that mantle of gorgeousness with another fellow German whose name I will not reveal as I am in drool mode just thinking of the 2 of them, don't really want to push it too much.
So of course these past couple of years or so I have been very happily drooling over these 2 gorgeous Germans without a thought for the Thorpedo, until yesterday. Technically it was Ian Anderson's fault. He mentioned that, not long after I had started I had "I love Ian" written in my work book. He had decided that it reffered to him (in his dreams) I spent ages trying to think which Ian it related to and suddenly the thought of Ian Thorpe wandered into my mind. I'm not too sure where he came from, but could he please leave as he's mucking up my current state of happiness!

Before you think that I'm trying to flog anything, I'm not. It's just that I happened to get an email from Key 103 (best radio station in the world!) talking about a cometition in which they are giving away a PS3 at 5PM tomorrow. It got me thinking a little, I have a PS2, previously owned the original Playstation, and even considered getting one of those Nientendo DS consoles just so I could have a virtual pet Labrador! When I saw the comp, I thought it was brilliant, but then the dose of reality kicked in, I already have a currently underused PS2, so do I, or anyone for that matter really need  the new Playstation? Probably not, would be the answer, but it would be nice to have. Despite the fact that the games will be really expensive, there will obivously be teething problems (there always are) Thousands of people are going to buy one on the first day it is released alone. Think of the profit that Sony are going to make just on that alone. Like they don't make enough money as it is with everything else they make.
By the way, if anyone is interested, to enter the competition all you have to do is: text PS3 followed by a space and then the answer to this question: WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE FAMOUS HEDGEHOG FEATURED IN SEGA GAMES? to 63103. If you want to enter you will need to be listening to Key 103 at 5PM tomorrow when Ditchy will announce the winner. If you live outside Manchester you can listen online at: http://www.key103.co.uk click on the link to the currently playing DJ. Try it tonight, you never know, you might become a Late Night Nicky fan!
By the way NO I DON'T work for Key 103. I just love the station!

Perfect test.

Mum is moaning. Just got the phone bill. Bit more than expected (actually a lot more than expected). Apparantly we can view our bill online and pay online too. Oh no we can't. First we have to sign up to online billing. Pretty insane as our internet access is with BT! We had emails telling us to get sorted with the online billing, giving us a password and username when internet access was activated. So tried to sort online billing. Nothing doing. The email address we were providing (that BT gave us as our usermane!) was apparantly unavailable?! So left signing up to online billing. Until today. Finally, afet a lot of arguments, swearing, screaming at computer, we have got signed upto online billing with BT only to come across another problem - it takes 48 hours before you can view your bill online!! ARGHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh!
Now off work for the whole of next week, yay . No idea what I'm going to do with all this time off, but hopefully will have some fun.
