Thursday, October 10, 2002
Had a call from my solicitor to say that i am definately not going to close on the 18th. I rang up Dixons who calmed me down a little saying that everything was going through. I also have to remember that my vendors do have other places to go to. Yes, it may not be in the next week, but if i remember to keep breathing calming, it'll happen.

I'm also going to phone the estate agents next week (Monday) and see if there are any updates, or further news.

I finished "i was a teenage fairy" last night. I can't say that i found it witty, smart or modern. It was pretentious (and swearing doesn't make you cool or smart). I cared little for any of the characters (except Griffin)...

ok weight is going up and up again. From going to my lowest almost back up to my highest. And i went spinning last night, too. It's because this week i just don't seem to be able to stop eating. Nothing seems to fill me up.

Yesterday morning i was down to my lowest weight in a long while, but i just ate and ate and ate yesterday and it went back on again. Fortunately only one pound up...

My website realyl does need redoing - but i'm just too damn lazy. Maybe when i move house i'll borrow someones digicam and get some pictures of it.

I probably didn't realy write much about my trip to London. Well my train was on time (both ways) and i managed to get buses to shepherds bush on the Wednesday. The area was quite run down, and i didn't feel very safe, so i was glad that i decided to stay close by it so i didn't have to walk around the area on my own late at night.

The concert was packed out. I had my excellent seats, but ther were people standing at the back of the auditorium (by the bar and behind the mixing desk). I guess the MOBO award meant more publicity and more people wanting to see her. The concert was excellent,, with many songs from the album and some other covers as well as some new songs. They all sounded great.

I spent the night in a slightly dodgy hotel, but i survived and enjoyed a good breakfast of toast (spread with nutella!), cereal, OJ and a lot of tea. It was worth the price.

Then i headed back to the main shopping areas and wandered around Oxford road and covent garden for ages. I arrived at Euston about an hour early, but my feet were just tired and blistered and i wanted to go home!

Hallo! I'm back after spending two days in scary London seeing Norah Jones. The concert was packed out, and i think it was because she one best Jazz act at the Mobo awards (but i didn't know this at the time). I had FAB seats, row c and the person in front of me didn't turn up. Oh how i wish that i had taken my camera...she played many from the album and some new songs which had a lovely country jazzy feel to them. I hope they make the next album soon.

The hotel was slightly dodgy, with notices about "visitors", but it was warm and dry and gave me a decent breakfast and was only a short walk from the SBE, so i was pleased.

Oh my goodness i nearly forgot the Friday five!


1. What size shoe do you wear?

I wear a UK size 13.5, yes i know that's very small. I generally wear a size 1 because few manufacturers make half sizes anymore.


2. How many pairs of shoes do you own?

Far too many! I reckon about 20.


3. What type of shoe do you prefer (boots, sneakers, pumps, etc.)?

Something really pretty, a strappy sandal.


4. Describe your favorite pair of shoes. Why are they your favorite?

The sketchers trainers i'm wearing right now which are comfy and well worn in


5. What's the most you've spent on one pair of shoes?

80 pounds. Which doesn't sound a lot, but remember i buy childrens shoes which are cheaper because there is no VAT on them.

My deposit money (well most of it) has now been put into the right account so all i need to do now is give a cheque to the solicitor. I even got more interest on it than i thought (90 quid instead of 30 quid), so that's an "extra" bit that i canput towards paying off something i owe straightaway.

Unfortunately my credit card agreement form hasn't been recieved yet, so i can't use that...oh well

The alert fire alarm is currently going off at work. I knwo have aheadache and wish that the evacuate one would go off so i could leave the noise behind!
