Coffe table drama

Fri, 28 Sep 2007 11:19:51 +0200

Had a row with my mother on Wednesday over a coffee table. Yes, a coffee table. It's quite comical actually.
I had my carpets cleaned in the day so all my furniture was stuffed in the kitchen. This is where it all started:
My mother came down in the afternoon and said "Do you want me to help you move the coffee table back into the living room?" so I said "no i'm not moving the coffee table". She wanted to do something to help though so I told her she could pick up the dead fly off the windowsill (it was massive almost the size of a small dog, lol, and I hate insects). So she walks over to the fly and picks it up in a cloth and puts it in my bin. This is what happened next:
Mam: Are you going to move the coffee table?
Me: No, i said i'm not moving it.
Mam: But where are you going to put it?
Me: I don't know, i will keep it here
Mam: what, forever?
Me: just leave it mam i'm not moving the coffee table
Mam: oooh your in a bad mood
Me: No im just tired and you keep asking about the coffee table i told you twice i'm not moving it yet. The carpets got to dry.
Mam: I'm only asking because I would have helped you to move it.
Me: Will you stop going on about the coffee table I dont know why your so concerned. It's my furniture and i'll put it where I want.
Mam: I'm not having you talking to me like a child i'm going.
Me: Fine
Mam: Fine

Then she tried to storm out but this was impossible as I had made her remove her shoes and socks before she came in. Instead of stomping her feet sunk into my newly cleaned carpet. Ha!

Then I walked towards the bin and spotted something on the floor. On closer inspection I realised it was that stupid fly my mother was supposed to put in the bin earlier. AAAh! I'm sure she fished it out of the bin before she stormed out (or tried to).
ten minutes later i'm in the kitchen still trying to summon up the courage to pick up dead fly. the phone rings, it's my mother, she was coming back to see me.
In she walks 5 mins later, looks straight at me and says: "do you want me to move your coffee table?" and we both burst out laughing.
Then I made her pick up the dead fly.
Mothers hey? who'd have them? lol

I have been sooooo bored today. I am so frustrated too. I took voluntary redundancy about 5 weeks ago now and have been looking for a new job since. Doesn't seem to be anything around. To be honest I feel like I was pushed out of my job.
Started the day with good intentions, got dressed in my gym gear and felt all motivated. Then I couldn't find my gym card and I searched everywhere but nowhere to be found. The one day I actually wanted to go to the gym (does anyone ever WANT to go?) and I got all stressed out so I put the TV on. Scrubs came on and I find myself still sat there an hour later, so I thought "sod this" and got up to make a cup of tea and some chocolate homewheat biccies. Yum.
I made up for it later by cleaning the kitchen. Don't know what got into me, i suppose i felt like a lazy cow. I had a burst of energy and went crazy and cleaned it from top to bottom. I dropped a box of tea bags in a sink full of bleach along the way and had to throw them out.
I've been looking for jobs most of the afternoon but NOTHING! Got to find one in the next few weeks I cant stand sitting at home all day.
I'm volunteering for the youth justice at the moment but I got to take a few courses before I am able to be a "proper" volunteer. There's no courses running this week and next week I am away so it's a slow process.
My computer on ebay has a few "watchers", I hope there's a bidding war and it sells for more than i hope. I really need the cash!
Bought a new camera today it has 12.1 mega pixels and it comes with a 2GB memory card. I always borrow a camera off my dad but me and my brother are going on holidays the same time this year. he wants to borrow it too, he's going away for a wedding so I thought it's only fair that he should have it. Thought it's about time I got my own camera and i'm so excited, i'm always taking photos.
Talking about photos, I went to America last year and borrowed my dads camera (as per usual). Only went for a week and took over 500 photos couldn't wait to show everyone back home.
Got home, unpacked case, searched for camera but couldn't find it. Went mad, checked my suitcase 1000 times, checked my bags 1000 times, checked the car, finally had to admit it wasn't there. I had only gone and lost it. Phones the hotel, hire car company and the airline but no luck. I am sure I left it in the hire car. i was so gutted I actually cried, there were so many lovely photos and memories all GONE. My dad said it was ok and not to worry about the camera, I still get upset thinking about it now. I felt I had to buy my dad another camera, he wasn't expecting me too but I felt so awful. I think someone from the hire car company found it and kept it for themselves. I could never do that, i would feel so guilty. Once I found 2 mobile phones in one week in the same place, and i gave them both back.
Fingers crossed I don't lose my brand new one on holidays.
Gonna search for a job again now, how exciting!!!! NOT.

how exciting! I've finally taken the plunge. Been thinking about writing a blog for a while. I just need somewhere to ramble. I ramble a lot.
Not sure if anyone actually reads this stuff, i just need somewhere to put down my thoughts.
Today has been so boring. I have a love/hate relationship with Sunday. I like it because i pig out and chill out. I hate it coz it always seems to drag and it's just boring. Never anything interesting on the telly and everyone seems just as bored as you.
My mam did a mean roast dinner today, ate about 1pm and i am still stuffed. Although i did have three bars of chocolate and two slices of angel cake (with icing on top i may add)afterwards. Like I said, Sunday = Pig out.
Selling a computer on ebay just been checking for updates, hope it sells i am sooo skint and could do with the extra cash for holidays next week. Im off to Egypt i cant wait. I need some sun and a change of scenery.
Actually i think im hungry again. I got a potato and red pepper tortilla from tesco, the night is still young and i still have room in my stomach. mmmmm.....
