Thought it was about time I contributed something to this blog as my name is on it too and I have been very remiss in keeping up to date. I’m enjoying life in at my new station and have now got a (semi) permanent crewmate who is lovely and shall be referred to as M from now on. We’ve been put together for the next six months which I’m pleased about as he’s lovely and good at the job but I see one HUGE problem emerging…. In the following months… we are going to get FAT. My name is Tizz and I’m a chocoholic.
Normally I can curb these cravings and get on with my day quite nicely but the problem is M is a chocoholic too. It’s like one of those unhealthy relationships you read about in magazines in doctors waiting rooms, we are a terrible influence on one another. In the two weeks we’ve been working together we’ve devoured 2 packs of jaffa cakes (orange flavour, though we are planning on trying the orange and cranberry next) 1 pack of hob nob creams (tasty), a packet of aero mint bubbles, a whispa bar each (retro goodness is back!) and various individual chocolate bars. I see this as the start of a downward spiral and need to change habits now, but it’s just so difficult. We have been leaving our half finished packets for the next crew but I think that’s only going to serve to make all the crews on out station fat – definitely not conducive to effective emergency services!
In other news I’m very surprised Dizz and Fizz have not commented on the recent DT programme. I won’t say anything yet in case it hasn’t been watched yet but I will say that though he wasn’t looking his usual stunning self there was still something strangely attractive hmmmm bit worried about that too.
Coming up in the next week I have my graduation which I was excited about but now have been assured is very boring and bleedin' freezin', but it will be nice to have a catch up with everyone and maybe get a little merry after!
This weekend I'm off to see L (with baby bump S) and P and little N, who I haven't seen in ages. I have things for the little ones from San Fran which I hope they will like (well obviously S will not be able to express an opinion but hopefully L will like it). These initials are becoming confusing?!? but obviously not fair to name names without permission.
After speaking to my mam last night I'm so very excited by the sound of the xmas play! I'm hoping that I'm off but in the excitement I've forgotten the dates - anyone?
Sorry if this post's a little disjointed but thoughts just keep popping in and out and I'm currently not capeable of organising them :S. Anyhow I'll leave it at that for the mo. Hope you're feeling better Dizz and that your back torture is still working Fizz. Speak soon! T xx

Back to work
Went back to work today. Turned out to be a pretty easy day, that 'Bob', he be a great boss ;o) Spent quite a lot of it catching up with people. I always miss so much when I'm off. It's true, I tell you, I go there everyday for months and months, I'm off sick for one week and the whole place goes to the dogs! And I always miss it! If it wasn't for the text and Facebook communications I'd be completely in the dark. Thanks be for the 21st Century communications.
Very little else to report. Apart from the very exciting sofa news. Yep, the new sofa arrives on Thursday. At 7am. Yep, you read that right. At 7 in the a.m men will be arriving at my door with my new sofa and two giant armchairs. Let's start believing that they will fit through the door...oh and sorry Fizz, I already told the man on the other end of the phone that I'd still be in my pjs. He just chuckled and said "great" so clearly not a problem for him, good stuff. First thing I will do after ooh-ing and ahhh-ing lots is go right back to sleep. On my new 3 seater sofa. That will be big enough to accommodate moi. Most excellent. This makes for a very smiley Dizz.
Any news that anyone wants to share? We're reaching midway point my lovelies...it's now when we might start to flag...help us please by providing us with funny/amusing stories that we can embellish for entertainment xx

GBH disguised as a massage...
I went for a massage on Saturday, as planned, to help me get rid of all the stress generated by my new job. I arrived all excited and bubbly, expecting a relaxing half-hour of gentle but firm kneading. Nooooope. It was thinly disguised torture. I had to exert every particle of self control I have to prevent myself begging my torturer to stop.
To be fair, my modern-day Inquisitor did warn me that it might hurt a bit. She said I had a knot in my back as big as her fist and she wouldn't be able to 'get' it all in one session. After she violently poked and pummelled she casually informed me that I might experience some bruising. Ya think?
The real horror is that she said I need to go again. Several times. And being me, I'll probably go. Am I discovering a masochistic side to myself?
On the plus side, I drove all the way to Birmingham and back today, then went to the gym - something like that would normally have crippled me for a week - and (aside from the bruising) my back is just mildly painful. So maybe, maaayyyybeee it was worth it.

New blogging location
Fizz is going to be HORRIFIED by this post, so she should probably turn away from the screen now and just click the little 'x' in the corner to remove the screen...
It's a well known fact in Dizz world that I'm a lazy arse. I am. I'm totally honest about it. I love dossing about. I love lazing around. But most of all I love my bed. Today is Sunday. Normally I would sleep til at least 11 on Sunday. But today was different. I woke up at 9. Wide awake. Fully rested. But thinks I, I cannot possibly get out of bed this early, what will I do? I don't know what Sunday mornings are for cos I never see them. So I went downstairs, made myself a cuppa, brought it back up and read my book...made another...and lookey now, it's 11.50am and I am STILL IN BED! Yep, I am blogging from my bed. In my pyjamas. Oh Fizz I can see you shaking your head at me now. But I care not. Cos it's all good. I feel like I've still had my Sunday sleep in cos I've stayed in the bed.
It is however, a lovely blue sky day out there now. So it's time to actually get out of bed. And make some brekkie, cos am pretty hungry. Perhaps brunch would be a better idea?
Anyhoo, that's all I have to say. Turns out, it's surprisingly easy to blog everyday if you can talk about total nonsense xx

The concept of time
Continuing to keep me cheerful through the miserable ear infection, Fizz suggested that we have a games night last night. And we had so much fun that I think it has to become a permanent thing. We played Kerplunk, Game of Life and Jenga. When we started playing I was all like, oh it takes ages to set these things up...it took like 3 minutes. And when we played Game of Life I said, oh we'll never get this finished before Ugly Betty and it took about 20 minutes.
And this is the point of this post. When we were kids and playing these games, it did seem to take an eternity to set up the sticks and marbles for Kerplunk. And I would swear hands down that me and my sis used to play Game of Life for what seemed like days! And I think that I miss that. I do. Time speeds by these days, it really does. I can't believe it's Christmas in 5 weeks! This is bonkers. Seriously, does anyone know where 2007 went cos I can't believe it's nearly over. It is truly astonishing to me. We need to bring back those days when school holidays seemed to last forever, and playing games did last hours and hours and filled up your whole day, rather than that hour long slot before the start of your favourite Friday night tv programme.
Any ideas how we might do this then? A time machine? Some kind of time-freezing machine that lets us slow it down to a reasonable pace? All suggestions welcome, be they sensible or downright silly, bring 'em on xx

just what a girl needs
I tells ya Fizz is just the best. I know I say this stuff all the time, but seriously, she is. Last night she turns up at my house with a dvd and bags of Maltesers for us to enjoy. And the film, well, what better choice could have been made? Ocean's 13. Don't get me wrong, it really wasn't life changing, in fact, it was kind of predictable. But who am I kidding? Who cares about plot when you have Gorgeous George and Beautiful Brad to look at? Seriously, whoever thought of putting those two into the same film must have been a woman. Surely? Who cares about being dizzy when George is wearing a tuxedo and Brad is wearing his white trousers just so to make his thighs look....
...ahem. Anyhoo. You get the picture. Wow. So thanks Fizz. Excellent movie choice.
The glum has gone from yesterday. I'm hoping that today, the 3rd day of drugs, is when they'll kick in and the world should slow down a bit. Have been able to walk around the house without needing to cling onto walls for support so much. And I even walked through the door rather than bashing myself from one side to the other, progress indeed! I'll try a walk out again later and hopefully it might only take 10 minutes for the world to stop spinning rather than 30, fingers crossed!
Anyhoo almost lunch time. Thank god that I didn't lose my appetite, yay!

Day 3: glum
I know Fizz has already posted but I'm all about sharing this illness. And frankly my lovelies I'm a bit glum today. I'm bored and frustrated. I went out for a walk just now with my lovely ma and had to sit down for 30 minutes after to wait for the world to stop spinning. Even typing this is not that great for me really. Bah humbug to illnesses and evil viruses. When are the drugs going to kick in, she whines pitifully...
Pathetic! That's what this is. Pull yourself together Dizz!
On a plus side (cos there always has to be one) my new cd arrived today and it rocks, Versions by Mark Ronson. He be da man!
And Fizz is coming round tonight to watch a movie so it's not all bad.
Stay tuned for more joy... :o((
