Did it again. Crapola. Oh well, safe to say that we didn't succeed in NaBloPoMo or whatever it was called. However, there are only a few days left so I'll do my best to get something out there just so we can say the best effort was made!
Update:
1. Amy Wino has cancelled the rest of her tour! How lucky were we that she actually showed up and totally rocked? Thanks Amy! We still love you!
2. Had to throw out yet another pair of shoes! What's going on with the shoe loss? And yet another beloved pair as well. My Dr Who red shoes, boohoo, oh so sad. They literally came apart on my feet last night as I was taking them off: the sole ripped away from the fabric and a gaping hole was all that was left. Bub-bye red shoes, I hearted you so :o(
3. I think I have a hole in my stomach as I literally cannot fill myself up tonight. So far, since returning home, I've eaten: a packet of crisps; a cheese omelette and hash browns; many many strawberries, a meringue, and some chocolate gooey stuff (yum); oh and a chocolate orange digestive. And I'm already planning what I'm going to eat whilst watching Heroes in a bit.
4. Traffic sucks. Seriously. The past two nights in a row coming home from work has been a total nightmare! Tonight there was another accident so the bus had to divert and go miles out of its way to get us home. And it's not even really bad weather yet. What's going on out there drivers?
5. My cough cough cough still hasn't gone. So I went me to the docs to make sure it wasn't consumption. Don't worry, I don't have to go to the workhouse just yet, but I have got an inhaler to try and 'ease my red and inflamed lungs'. My doc said it was like moisturising dry skin on your arm...nice doc, we likey him a lot.
6. Re: above, my health is rubbish! Need me some kind of marvellous medicine to make all this crappy health stuff go away :o(
7. Didn't think I was going to but am loving "The Other Boleyn Girl" by Philippa Gregory. I'm not generally a fan of the historical novel but there's so much rumpy pumpy in this one that I'm being very finely entertained! I'd recommend it, I would.
8. Ray LaMontagne currently has occupancy of the stereo.
9. Christmas is now less than a month away and I STILL HAVEN'T STARTED MY SHOPPING!!! Someone help me. Must. Be. More. Organised.
10. But! Despite all of the above and all the other day to day nonsense, you ask anyone: how happy is Dizz? I just can't keep that smile off my face...

And again!
PANTS! Missed another fecking day! How does that happen? I won't even bother trying to defend it; there's a lot of nice things happening in Dizz-land at the moment and I'm enjoying them too much to feel too bad about missing the blogging :o))
Went out dancing last night. Well I say dancing. Turns out that our town is getting pretty crappy for good places to go where some serious dancing can be done. The venue that we went to is usually a guaranteed night of cheesey dancing. Instead we walked in and the place was empty! And they were having some god-awful music from the 90s night, but it wasn't even the good indie music from the 90s, it was that horrible beep-beep-boop-boop rubbish that we all hate; it hurts my ears it's so bad, me no likey. But oh the shame, we actually danced to Snap's Rhythm is a dancer. We did however have to do official take the piss dancing out of this poor guy in white trousers and white shoes who was clearly lost from some disco cos he was doing serious dad dancing, including the arms action. Oh how we chortled as we strutted our stuff. So, the night of dancing didn't come off quite as planned and we ended up back at D's house with pizza and her ipod.
I'm putting out a plea: please tell us where we can go for good dancing nights? There has to be somewhere! We're too young to curl up indoors and attend dinner parties. Help us before it's too late! xx

Arse!
How did that happen? It was Wednesday...then it was Friday and somewhere along the way Thursday happened and we didn't blog :o( We've failed...I feel really bad. I was sure we'd be able to do it. Oh well. Apologies to everyone who was helping us along the way with the comments. Am I forgiven if I say I was too busy living life and having fun to do the blog post...?
So what's been happening? Well, library land seems to have been taken over by some kind of bonkers drug, there's a definite something in the air. The amount of frivolity that has gone on has been much higher than usual and it's been a crazy week. Personally I blame the door being broken, cos with the broken door comes big icy blasts of cold air, and people huddling round warm heaters/hot people; all this huddling is sending us a bit loopy. Still, it's been a fun week!
Tonight is not a games night. Cos Fizz is on her way back from Wigan, and Wavey's on his way round with my chips (yumness), but it's still the episode of Ugly Betty where Posh Spice is the bridesmaid so we'll definitely be watching that! Tomorrow we're off to theatre to continue with the set. Tomorrow night me, Fizz, Cat, D and K are going out on the town to be dancing queens! I cannot wait! I haven't been out on a cheesey dancing night in, ooooh, forever. Will be a blast! But. Sensible dancing shoes must be worn. EBBs are not good for dancing. No way my lovelies. Then on Sunday I'm going to a 50th birthday party that starts at 2pm in the afternoon! I know this family of old and they like a drink so that'll be everyone drunk on the floor by 4pm! Blimey o'riley! It'll be Monday again before we know it.
Hope you're all going to have a rocking weekend too.
Oh! Do I have some goods on 'Bob'. If you want a laugh just ask and I shall tell...xx

10 minutes
Dizz is to busy to blog tonight, so it's been delegated to me. OK, the scarf blog was dull, but at least I had something to blog about. This time, I have absolutely nothing to tell. So, instead of telling you all about some amazing, wonderful event in my life, I'm going to ask for some help.
Here's the thing: I'm going on a course on Thursday and Friday, and it turns out everyone has to give a 10 minute presentation on a topic of their choice. Those who know me will be aware that I can talk for much longer than that on just about anything, but this is different - it's got to be interesting.
WHAT CAN I TALK ABOUT FOR TEN BLOODY MINUTES WITHOUT EVERYONE SLIPPING INTO A COMA?
We don't get to take any photos or anything with us, it's all just talking. eek! help! please!

PS any suggestions, however silly, are welcome. Just don't say 'scarves'

The 1 foot beehive
Oh wow. Oh my god. I can't believe it but we actually saw Amy Winehouse. Yep, she was there. She was coherent. She was so many words but I think AMAZING is the one that sums up the experience best.
Out of all the gigs I've ever been to, they're usually wee little bands starting out, the venue is small, the gigs are intimate, you're impressed with the effort and if you like 'em then great. But Amy? This was a whole new world for me. I've never been to a gig where I've had such admiration for the artist before. I know everyone thinks she's stark raving bonkers and unreliable and a drug addict and a drunk...she is all those things, but she's also an icon. And a totally amazing artist to go with it.
She rocked out onto the stage a bit late, and the first song was pretty mixed up and I thought oh-oh. But it must have just been stepping out nerves cos she just got better and better and better. I can't begin to describe what it felt like to actually be there. I kept turning round to Cat and shouting "oh my god we're at Amy Winehouse!" and she was right there, just in front of us, in all her 1 foot beehive and malfunctioning dress glory.
I can say all round that it was quite possibly one of my bestest gig experiences ever. And you know that I don't give out such praise to just anyone. I think I'm in awe. Tell 'em Cat, back me up, how good was she! xx

New Scarf
I am under instructions from Dizz to blog today, 'cos she's too busy getting ready for the Amy Winehouse gig tonight, among other things ;-P
So, it being Sunday, I haven't really got much to blog about. I did make a new scarf though, so you're going to have to make do with a blog post about that.
I decided I had to make some scarves because I can't find any I like in the shops. And customised clothing and accessories are always funkay-er than the same old same old from the high street.
So, I went charidee shop shopping yesterday (on my own! - Yes, I'm allowed now) and bought a couple of tops made from nice fabric, with the intention of cutting them up into little bits and sewing them together again. Et voila! (I know it looks a bit like animal print, but if you look closer you'll see it's little butterflies, so cute!)
This is the second top, which will soon be reincarnated too...
