Am more than a bit gutted at this afternoon's sport - was really hoping England would win in the rugby and Liverpool would beat Chelsea in the Calring Cup final.....oh well another testosterone low :o(

D. commented the other day that she'd read that when blokes watch sport if the outcome is good their testosterone increases and they are in 'good' moods and when its bad it drops and we get moody.....well am feeling hugely moody now grrrrr :o/

Other than that had an ok weekend - not seen a lot of D. which would have made it an ace weekend - as she works Saturday's now and has been helping out with the voice therapy charity today.

Sigh - am oing to watch the final of Superstars - bet who I want to win doesn't so am going to keep shtum about who I'll be supporting!!

The girl dun good....D. got a place on a voice therapy course which is so fucking ace its more ace than the aciest thing is a totaly ace world.

I meant to blog this a couple of weeks ago when we heard but.....well anyway am now. D. gave up work last summer to volunteer at Voice Therapy charities to get experience and demonstrate to the courses she was serious. She got her applciation off before Xmas and an interview at City (London) on 7th January. Since then we had a nervous wait and D. was starting to fear the worst but I always believed and then she got the letter saying yeeeees!

Its hard to explain how huge this is, its the one thing D. has wanted to do for....well a long time and I am so chuffed and pleased and proud and happy for her that its going to happen.

I love her to bits.......

Work for me is going well, I am really enjoying it at my new job and feeling very challenged. A few months back I was having jitters - I think I lost a lot of confidence in myself at my last place but now I feel I am getting back to where I was a few years back when I was working in the Isle of Man and feel confidant and capable. Y'know its funny coz its not really about how good you actually are at your job its really about stepping up to the mark and taking stuff on - and I am quite good at that....I may not know how to do everything but I am pretty good about knowing what needs to be done and making it happen.

My girls are good too, still a long way away, I miss their faces and having them around as much today as two years ago when they moved to Scotland. D. and I went up at Christmas for a couple of days and I was there a couple of weekends ago for two nights (Travelodge special offer!!) but I won't see them now until April when we go on holiday. Being in Scotland they have the first two weeks of April off so we are going to Cyprus. D. did some 'net digging and found some really good flights and a hotel. We since found out that something like 90% of all tourism to Cyprus is packaged, so we feel doubly chuffed we got in the back door for much cheaper than a packaged deal :o)

I have been very lazy of late and not really done much else other than blob ou in front of the TV but am trying to start being a bit more motivated. I noticed the daylight today....how clean and fresh it was and how it was a little brighter than usual....yep spring is coming its light by 7.30am and still light at 5 so the days are getting longer which is ace.

Think I wanna surf now......

Too Much Steinman

And sometimes I'm far from perfect
And someitmes Im as cold as ice
And sometimes I feel like I'm
Killing myself
Just by being too nice

And somedays there's a lot to live up to
and somedays you seem out of reach
And somedays I just need saving
Like a half-drowned man
Washed up on a beach

But somehow I get on through it
And somehow I work it out right
And sometimes I manage to bring you
A little daylight to
Light up your night

And then I know I can love you
Just like I always wanted to
It feels like we're totally in line
And I am not just following you
