September 19 hahahahaRight,
Hello to you all, my life has been far too busy and complicated to actually formulate it into anything worth writing here.... so sod it... I will give up on that one before I even start!!! Sufice it to say, that I am still alive, and just every now and again I actually manage to find 30 secs to look at the computer... which due to my infrequent online activity is quite frankly a nightmare of unattended mail and pending requests. HEEEEeeeeelllllp me I'm drowning in them!
Sooooooo, instead how about something to make you laugh... nabbed from facebook, it had me in giggles so I figure , lets share
 Have fun all

Proof of what can happen if a wife or girlfriend drags her husband or boyfriend along shopping....... This letter was recently sent by Tesco's Head Office to a customer in Oxford : Dear Mrs. Murray, While we thank you for your valued custom and use of the Tesco Loyalty Card, the Manager of our store in Banbury is considering banning you and your family from shopping with us, unless your husband stops his antics. Below is a list of offences over the past few months all verified by our surveillance cameras: 1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's trolleys when they weren't looking. 2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in House wares to go off at 5-minute intervals. 3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to feminine products aisle. 4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone, 'Code 3' in house wares..... And watched what happened. 5. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area. 6. September 15: Set up a tent in the outdoor clothing department and told shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring sausages and a Calor gas stove. 7. September 23: When the Deputy Manager asked if she could help him, he began to cry and asked, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?' 8. October 4: Looked right into the security camera; used it as a mirror, picked his nose, and ate it. 9. November 10: While appearing to be choosing kitchen knives in the House wares aisle asked an assistant if he knew where the antidepressants were. 10. December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously, loudly humming the Mission Impossible' theme. 11. December 6: In the kitchenware aisle, practised the 'Madonna look' using different size funnels. 12. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed, yelled 'PICK ME!' 'PICK ME!' 13. December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, assumed the foetal position and screamed 'NO! NO! It's those voices again.' And; last, but not least: 14. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited a while; then yelled, very loudly, 'There is no toilet paper in here.' Yours sincerely, Charles Brown Store Manager July 02 Thrice Woe....Hi
Wel It's true what the say, bad luck comes in threes, lol well as there are three members of my household I suppose it could just be coincedence. Really I'm feeling we are having a hard time here though!!!
OK first there was my foot... still fairly bruised, still painful periodically (ie when i use it lol)... but that is becoming insignificant now. My poor little Luke has got a really nasty infection to his finger (right hand, ring finger) . I first saw something was wrong on friday afternoon, the end of his finger was generally swollen and it had a yellow swelling that started on the finger and headed under the nail (I guess it was about 3mms wide and 7mms long) not terribly major but on his tiny little fingers it looked like it was time for a visit to the walk in medical centre. 2 hours wait, nurses lanced his finger to ease the puss out and dressed it for him - sounds easy except he's only little and so screamed blue murder and took my full strength to restrain him while they did their job. Things didn't improve over the weekend, more puss released and more dressings at the walk in centre saturday. Tuesday things deteriorated further the infection has become significant enough now to require visits to see the paediatrician at casualty. So we went yesterday, The Paediatrician told me to return today and now every other day for the next few days for checking, dousing in iodine and re-dressing. To be honest when it hasn't a bandage, I find it hard to look at his tiny little finger just looks a mangled mess of gunk. My pooooooor baby. So it was a pretty hard shitty day today, and then to top things off, Joe, my elder chid is now clearly unwell too having vomited all over himself and the car. That was a lovely cleaning job for me! So three in the household all suffering from something lol... it's going to be fun in the house tomorrow! LOL

June 26 HelloHello Everyone
 I would like to thank all who have sent comments about my injured foot and wishing me well. It would appear that all the good vibes coming my way are having a positive effect, as I find it's healing fast... The hospital estimated 3-6 weeks recovery, well today it is a week since the injury and I am walking without crutches in the house and only one crutch outside, I have also been driving the car (yes safely lol) ok I still have some pain and discomfort, braking hard is not comfortable, but I find that driving slower than my usual girl racer style helps to reduce the need for hard braking... as well as being better for petrol consumption, my wallet and the environment!!!! Me thinks I ought to be a good girl and permanently adopt a more sedate approach to driving.
 Anyway, I really tested myself today by walking a bit round the town, and while it is sore after my efforts, I managed it so I am feeling very positive. This postive feeling being boosted with buying myself a few treats
mmmm dresses, perfume, shoes oooops there goes my bank balance  I am, in theory, going out on Saturday night...boohooo killler heels are not going to be an option... Does anyone have any tips on how best to cover brusing? It has to be said that my foot really doesn't look pretty  .Take Care all and Have fun
Caz xxx June 22 OUCH!Hi
Sorry it's been a while again, and I know some of you are wondering where I've been... well I am still here, just about LOL. Life has been non-stop the last few weeks and I just haven't had the time to sit down some days. However, now I am forced to slow down and sit down... cos I got a sore paw
 sniff sniff, boohoo. Thursday I was with my friend and all our kids in the car and we stopped at the shops for various bits and bobs. Unfortunately on my way back to the car I somehow found a damaged bit of kerb to fall off. Trust me! I know you are all thinking - "yeah how many had she had to drink?" the answer is zero! Stone cold sober as it was almost 4pm and I had just picked my eldest up from school. Anyway, the pain was excrutiating, and as there was no one actually on hand to help I somehow got up and hopped back to the car, trying my best not to cry. I flopped into the driver seat and totally sobbed my heart out while trying to explain to Kel what had happened. Then came the hard bit, my car is filled with kids, I am the only driver and there is no way I can walk home. So I had to grit my teeth and put my foot to the pedals. F**K, F**K, F**K ! Trust it to be my right foot. I alternated between crying, and yelling all the way home, stalled the car several times as I couldn't put my foot down enought to keep the revs up. Got home and bless Kel, she literally picked me up and carried me out of the car. Then she had a look at my foot (thankfully she is a first aider), my foot did not look right at all, but then I am a stubborn cow sometimes, she's saying it's broke, and I'm sayin it's tissue damage I'll strap it up and be fine. She's calling amublance and I'm trying to stop her LMAO. Really I did need it looked at, and no other way to get there with so many kids and no driver, so amublance it was - I knew the ambulance guys wouldnt be happy, which they weren't. Anyway, it was 4 hours at A&E, and unfortunately I have to say very poor service. I have spent a lot of my life working in the NHS (admin) and both my parents too, so I'm generally pro-NHS and aware of the working conditions the staff are under. I was generally forgotten about and left without pain relief til 10 mins before I left, the doc I saw was dismissive and almost rude. The radiographer was great said he could see damage at base of little toe (where all the brusing and the worst pain is!), but the doc just said tissue damage. I was discharged with a set of crutches and a little piece of card with generalised advice and sent to get a taxi home. Sound like I'm whinging? Well, not really cos I can compare it to another patient's treatment. A guy came in, with an identical injury, nearly two hours after me, he left two minutes before me with painkillers prescribed to take home. It was only when the guy's mum said it was wrong that I waited so long and she went to talk to the staff, that they even bothered to look at me. Anyway, enough of my ranting! LOL 3-6 weeks to recover, I'm far to impatient for all that, plus I'm Mum I can't afford to be ill. So I am already pushing myself to walk on it. Luckily I have some good friends close at hand and family willing to help. Last night I had to have help getting in and out of the bath
, thanks Kel lol. I'm determined to be driving with in the week, and no more help in and out of the bath I'm far too stubborn and proud!That's enough now lol, take care all
Caz x May 07 Declaration of summer!!!Ok I guess it must be time for another blog...
First though, I really want to make a quick comment about friends requests. If you want to add me as a livespace friend go ahead thats I fine, I just click accept. You are very welcome to write in my guestbook, and I might pop by your space too
. If you feel like you want to say hi, you are also welcome to send me mail via livespace, I respond to most email (assuming they are written in some form of English lol!) when I have the time...but please please do not just send requests to be added to my msn without having ever contacted me first. So often I receive msn requests from people I have no idea who they are, and they have no visiable space...why am I goin to say yes to an msn contact add without a clue who it is???? So mail me first, I won't accept random msn add requests.Ok so the sun is shining and I am offically declaring summer has hit, I predict this year we will have absolutely stunning weather until about a week and a half before the kids break up from school...by which time the weather will be crap. During the school holidays it will mostly rain with the odd pisspoor attempt at a summers day but only on the days you can't get out to enjoy the weather. There will be a brief spell of later summer days just after the kids go back to school then straight into autumn. LOL lets see if i'm right? On the basis of that I'm already enjoying the summer, mmmmmm lunchtime drinkies in the sun
... Hmm, me thinks those drinkies might be having afffect as now I can't remember at all the stuff I was going to say! LOL More drinkies the sun is still shining!!! Caz x
April 25 HiHi all I liked this and nicked it from "Mrs Smiler" http://cid-6578ee4fbded361a.spaces.live.com/default.aspx It somehow seems very apt at the moment.
The Mayonnaise Jar
When things in your life seem
Almost too much to handle,
When 24 Hours in a day is not enough,
Remember the mayonnaise jar
And 2 cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class
and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly,
He picked up a very large
And empty mayonnaise jar
And proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students
If the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles
and poured them into the jar.
He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open
Areas between the golf balls.
He then asked
The students again
If the jar was full..
They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and
poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full. The students
responded ... With an unanimous "yes."
The professor then produced
Two cups of coffee from under the table
And poured the entire contents
Into the jar, effectively
Filling the Empty space between the sand.
The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor,
As the laughter subsided,
"I want you to recognize that
This jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things - family,
children, health, Friends, and favorite passions --
Things that if everything else was lost And only they
remained, Your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter Like
your job, house, and car.
The sand is everything else --
The small stuff.
"If you put the sand into the jar first,"
He continued,
"there is no room for
The pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time
And energy on the small stuff,
You will never have room for
The things that are
Important to you.
So...
Pay attention to the things
That are critical to you r happiness.
Play With your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.
Play another 18.
There will always be time
To clean the house
And fix the guttering.
"Take care of the golf balls first --
The things that really matter.
Set your priorities.
The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand
And inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled.
"I'm glad you asked".
It just goes to show you that no matter how full
your life may seem, there's always room for a
couple of cups of coffee with a special friend."
Hmmm... take it easy everyone and have a good weekend. Caz xxx March 29 BIRTHDAY GIRLAre ya singing??? Well get to it, I don't like to be dissapointed

Byeeeee
xxx March 07 DAY 10Just a quickie before I head out....
Caz 10 vs Cigarettes NIL!!! And the crowd goes wild......
Somehow I have got to day 10 and not even touched one of those little white sticks... Starting to see the benefits, my skin complexion is clearing, I know I don't smell like an ashtray, I have more time in the morning, um I've nearly lost the morning smokers cough.... managed twice to socialise and have a drink (alcoholic) and not smoke, dealt with stress and no smoking....hoping sense of smell will return soon.
 Finally getting to the feeling good stage, ok tiny bit of extra weight, now size ten+, but I guess that's ok and without the smoking I should be able to manage some exercise without feeling like my lungs will collapse - in fact toned (rather than skinny) would be nice to achieve. Fruit and veg are in, as is filtered water, out is huge amounts of coffee (down to about 4 a day from a shocking amount!). Today I feel the best I have felt in absolutely ages - energised, healthy, happy and hehehe yeah I feel sexy too!  And all that from giving up the cigarettes - good on you those in whose steps I am following... those who are still smoking - once you are through the hard bits it feels GREAT, so COME ON!!!Kelly B, Kelly K and Kirsty - Keep it up girls you are doing brilliantly!
 Luv to all, big hugs

p.s. I am totally gonna ignore my star sign for today (aries - as it say's I'll feel low - hahaha you all knew it was crap anyway didn't ya! ?February 27 HelloHi again
Well sorry it's been a while...Life's been really busy and full on recently - but I am NOT complaining about that! Also, it had become a bit of a habit that I posted drunk (hahaha- NOTE I am TOTALLY sober now - well it's only 2pm), but the evenings I have been drunk recently I haven't been lonely, so haven't had time or opportunity to post. (I can hear you wondering - "what is she on about") Well to get straight to the point I have been dating someone
for the past few weeks (erm I think 5 weeks now) so I have been busy every weekend, often on both nights - well I still have to see the girls when not seeing the guy! Its great! I am loving it, all the lovely attention Mmmmmmmm.... Gettin to go out... Wooohooo, it had been ages since I'd had much of a social life and now mine has suddenly taken off. Life just feels really good at the minute! In tune with the feel good buzz going on in my life I have also decided to make another leap - I HAVE BECOME A NON-SMOKER as of today! R.I.P. fags 26/02/08 11.30pm. So far so good, there have been a few twitchy moments, but the combination of some hypnotherapy stuff to listen to and nicotine patches, I'm feeling pretty good about it all, and so far it is not nearly as hard as I thought it would be....it's certainly helped by the fact that most of the girls are sharing the journey too. Go Kelly B, go Kelly K and Kirsty!!! you know you can do it! It's still a bit weird, the times I would normally sit and have coffee and fag, now its just the coffee (maybe caffiene is next to go?). The patch itches like mad, which is a shame cos it means I can't quite forget it's there, but it is still worth it - ZERO fags since last night (I might have smoked around 8 by this time of the day).
OK that's it for now
Have fun
Caz x January 20 have i got to come up with another title? i'm drunk againHehe
Hello peeps, well this is becoming a bit of a habit isn't it? I get drunk and think it's time to write something deep and meaningful here... Well I suppose anyone monitoring my drunken activities would notice that it is comparitively rare that I am actually this drunk ,OMG it's nearly 3.15 am. Well it's been another girly night and topic of conversations were families (parents mostly) being crap and unreliable, and (probably more interesting) the merits of batting on the other side. It's seems I am in the minority with zero experience at batting the otherway, as most of my friends have experimented at little if not all the way (am I a prude? No f**kin way) . I got one girl asleep in my bed upstairs - hmm, no better not, LOL i'm not that forward anyway hehe, if only I was LOL but everyone has been telling me I should broaden my horizons. Well maybe I will just do that. After all as a single woman at my age ( with a shocking labido - which didn't exist a few years ago) why the hell not??? What exactly have I got to loose except my naivety? Plus, there is the potential that it opens up the other half of the population hehehe more options is GOOD! Furthermore with the recent contact in my life of a certain lady, there is someone "after" me, my god she is so forward and damn pretty... way out of my league but she is expressing interest so I am left wondering... why the hell not! hehehe my friends egging me on too gawwwwd who knows where this will go! Ermm I probably shouldn't have written this all down, but then i saw the horoscope listing just before LMAO, here it is: ARIES
You may find that your heart is bouncing back and forth today like a tennis ball, dear Aries. One minute you may be drawn one way, while the next minute, you are finding yourself drawn in a completely different direction. Instead of trying to fight this feeling, take advantage of it. Consciously or unconsciously, what you are really doing is exploring. Try new things until you are sure that you have found exactly what you need.
What more signs do I need??? LOL Yeah, right I think I have let you all in far too much on my little world now, so I am going to finish before I reveal everything hehehe.
Night night MWAH xxx January 08 2008Hello
Well thank god that's all over for another year! Haven't posted over the Christmas period as to be honest there wasn't a right lot to say! Like all my mates I got hit with the evil superbug cold, that left me and the kids in bed for days, to top it off the boys one after another got chicken pox, we haven't washed the painted red crosses off the walls yet!!! So Christmas was a quiet affair at my mum's, to a chorus of coughs and snivvels. New Year was also quiet....the only really good night was the party at Kelly B's for her sister Sarah's 30th, but with all of us recovering from dreaded superbug noone seemed to have their normal staying power.
So, here we are in 2008, gawwwd I'm starting to feel old LOL, ten years ago seems like yesterday and even more scarily the big 40 is creeping nearer (OK 7 years, but 7 years seems like nothing when I look backward, so I figure it'll come pretty quick!!!) So what resolutions did you make? I didn't make any LOL, why bother, no-one keeps to them and why only make resolutions on new years eve??? If something needs changing then, why wait to new year to tackle it!
Anyway here's to 2008, hoping it brings more of what we all need and less of what we dont need!
Caz x
December 09 PISSED!Umm, been a while hasn't it???
I am pissed, so wondering what to say, in fact quite obviously pissed people have nothing coherent to say...LOL maybe I should give up before I start... anyways life has had it's ups and downs for me this last month, well more downs then ups but f**k it I'm still here so can't all be bad. It's a stupid time to still be up, sooo sweet dreams all.
Caz x  November 05 The weekendHello
Well, the weekend was a pleasant one, to make a change from our normal drunken evenings Kelly B decided to host a dinner party (how very grown up!), so we all (Kelly K, Kirsty, Sarah and myself) went round to Kelly B's mum's house and joined them for a lovely dinner...three courses of very lovely food all made from scratch, the table laid beautifully, good conversation (instead of our usual drunken banter!). All in all very lovely evening, a toast to Kelly for putting it on! I guess she has set the bench mark for any of us who decide to hold a dinner party...hahaha not me, my cooking would go wrong, I'll stick to having everyone piling round with nachos and booze! To top it all off, as the kids were with their dad for the night I got to have the longest sleep in, on Sunday, that I have had for ages, so now I feel great after a good weekend, top form for the week ahead.
Have fun
Caz x November 01 Trick or TreatWell it was Halloween last night, so my mates and I took the kids Trick or Treating. To be honest I had been a little reluctant (we didn't do it in my day it was an American thing, Bahh Humbug!) but between the pressure from my kids and mates I was persuaded, so I picked up some reduced costumes from Tescos (£3.75 in total for both, bargain!), Joe was Frankenstein and Luke a Spider. The boys had never been Trick or Treating before but they soon got the hang of hammering on doors with a chorus of "Trick or Treat", after rather a long time trawling the streets we came home with bags full of sweets, enough to last at least a month!
Caz x
October 25 HiWell, I'm back...
I had a lovely time away and to be honest I didn't want to come home LOL still real life must go on. The kids having been angels whilst away, are now back to their usual selves, currently bickering in the living room as I type. I couldn't believe it when I pulled up at home, as soon as the car doors where opened they began to grouch, we hadn't even go in the front door! Now the quiet, tidy house is once more littered with toys and noise! Hohum.
Caz x October 18 A giggle...The 11th Husband... A young man married a beautiful woman who had previously divorced 10 husbands. On their wedding night, she told her new husband to "Please be gentle, I'm still a virgin". "What" said the puzzled groom? "How can that be if you've been married ten times?" "Well, husband #1 was a Sales Representative; he kept telling me how great it was going to be. "Husband # 2 was in Software Services; he was never really sure how it was supposed to function; but he said he'd look into it and get back with me. "Husband # 3 was from Field Services; he said that everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn't get the system up. " Husband # 4 was in Telemarketing; even though he knew he had the order, he didn't know when he would be able to deliver. "Husband # 5 was an Engineer, he understood the basic process but he wanted three years to research, implement and design a new state of the-art method. "Husband #6 was from Administration; he thought he knew how but he wasn't sure whether it was his job or not. "Husband # 7 was in Marketing; although he had a product, he was never sure how to position it. "Husband # 8 was a Psychiatrist; all he did was talk about it. "Husband # 9 was a Gynecologist; all he did was look at it. "Husband # 10 was a Stamp Collector; all he ever did was..... God I miss him. "But now that I've married you, I'm so excited". "Wonderful", said the husband, "but why? "You're with the "GOVERNMENT"... This time I KNOW I'M gonna get SCREWED." GOING AWOL!!!Hi all
Just a quick message so you don't think I have disappeared...
It's the start of half-term tomorrow, so I am going away, haven't decided when I'm coming back, LOL maybe I won't hahaha.
Anyway I am going to be incommunicado, I'll probably even turn the phone off, while I have some much needed R&R. Caz x October 14 heheheOk I'm a little bit drunk, and the girls went far too early so I thought I'd upload a few pics for you... don't blame me if they are blurry after almost a bottle of wine everything looks great to me! Anyway I dunno if it's clear enough but you might notice subtle difference in hair colour!
Night all
Caz x October 13 ANGRY!Well my mates either already know (mutliple texting! hehe tell everyone all at once), and are not surprised... I have returned to the single life and dumped the boyfriend. I am just not prepared to put up with CRAP! Was with boyfriend a day short of three months 14/07/07 - 13/10/07. Right now I am thankfully too angry to be upset, and in my heart I know its for the best, but I guess over the next few days its goin to hit me and then there will probably be some tears. I think that I best stay single for a while now, that was my first relationship after breaking up with husband March 2006, and to be honest I reckon I am going to be happiest on my own for a while. Certainly I don't want to be with someone who: cannot be bothered to see me more than once a week, someone who tells me he is tired when he is chatting online on internet dating sites and someone who cannot help but tell mulitiple "white lies" making crap excuses to deceive me. For some reason he seemed to think I was stupid... well FUCK that I am not (I have a piece of paper from University with my name on it that says so!!!), I tolerated his lack of interest and excuses for a while but then finally the chatting on the dating sites, just said loud and clear that he really wasnt that interested, and despite his denials must have been looking elsewhere.
Anyway I'm off to my mates now for some heavy duty emotional release! I am so glad I kept my mates whilst seeing him because they are all here for me now!
Caz x October 07 Girls NightErrrrrrm There was a girls night last night..... (five of us plus two late arrivals after a concert)
I have thought for a while whether to blog this and if so what to say... Huge quantities of alcohol where consumed, the night was, let's say "eventful" . I think the rest is best left unsaid at this point while the dust settles, perhaps when last night is a distant memory most of us will be able to re-call events and have an embarrassed laugh about it, though some things that occured will probably never be a laughing matter.
Blog done, now time to clear the devastation in my house!
