Yesterday afternoon James phoned after work to ask if we wanted to go for a drive. It had been so hot all day so the though of getting out appealed so I agreed even though I wasn't looking my best. After all it wasn't like I was going to get out of the car right? So I went with the rattiest vest top on ever and hair that looked horrific. So we were in the car flying toward the beach when he stops to call the in-laws and ask if they want to come too. Of course they say yes and we had to stop and pick them up then went onto a pub on the beach. I got over looking like a scruff, I had no choice really and sat next to the sand drinking cold cola as the fog rolled in over the ocean. My niece came too so she was playing with Corey on the beach. It was funny to see, he obviously doesn't know how to play with someone so young and his face when she kept taking his spade was so funny *g* It was pretty cold by then so we jumped in the car again and ended further along the coast where we ate chips and watched the surfers, very cool. But I think what I loved most was after. We dropped the in-laws off and just drove. It was dark and cool and we ended on roads we've never tried before, just to see what was at the end you know? One road ended in the middle of this field and the trees made a tunnel above the car, it looked so beautiful in the dark with the beams hitting the trees.

It reminded me of how much I love cool weather. I'm not a summer person at all. The sun brings me out in spots and I hate being hot. I adore autumn, the crisp feel of cool air and trees with red leaves. Being in the car last night was a little like that, good music, windows down, Corey in the back, the dog in the boot, just perfect. It also showed me that a 7 seater car isn't such a strange choice after all considering how full our car was before the in-laws left *g*

It's bucketing down just now so I'm going to try and finish Jo's JC rage challenge. I just wish I'd been done on time, I feel so bad about being late but it shouldn't take that long, at least I hope so.

Talking of JC, I have to wish the boy a belated happy birthday.I think what I have more than anything for JC is admiration, he went out and did his own thing and had fun doing it. I love his music and the way he looks and the ADIDAS video just strengthened that love ;) There's much better birthday posts out there than mine, Candy did her usual kick ass job and I've seen wonderful posts by digital_diva, jchalo and some nice manips by tallories. So go check those out for some pretty :)

Good grief, the rain is bouncing off the pavement. A perfect online day which is good as I need to do some important things.

Squeezing in a whine. Why on earth do people think I want to sit and listen to bitching for hours on end? Mam and Kay are driving me insane just now. Mam phoning to tell me over and over what a selfish bitch Kay is. Kayleigh coming down to say how mam's unreasonable and insane. *kicks something* Kay also told me how Busted, McFly and Darren Hayes are going to play at the Pride concert. Darren Hayes, man. I'm so jealous. I had to laugh though because she said she'd sent me pictures of Stuart Allan Jones from Canal Street. The though of her bumping into Vince and Stuart amuses me so much. It's like a joining of the real and tv universes. The whole thing has become a joke between me and her with many pictures promised of Stuart, she's also promised pictures of the poufs ( her words) which I probably will get. She's the kind of girl who wouldn't think a moment about taking pictures of people kissing. I have the best sister ever, even if she does drive me crazy sometimes *g*

Okay, I think I'm done. I should get ready really, but first I have a lovely bowl of noodles to eat for dinner. 19p, a bargain ;) But first, I did this meme yesterday and never posted it being I was out all last night. Gacked from a few people. ( The Five Meme )

I've just had the most surreal conversation with mam. She was talking about buying her house with the right to buy scheme. It's what James and I did, if you're a council tenant you get a substantial discount if you apply to buy your council house, or at least you did, I think things may have changed. Anyway, she phoned to say my brother suggested that he club together with Kayleigh to buy her house. They'd split the mortgage costs and that way when something happened to mam they'd have a house. Now I'm puzzled by that. For one thing Chris has his own house, I can see it's an awesome investment scheme, I mean our house is valued way over what we paid for it, but it seems really, man, I don't even know what word I mean. Callous I suppose that he's thinking that mam will die. See the disease she has can be terminal, we all know that and accepted it, but saying things like this is like shoving it in our faces, that she will die and Kayleigh will have nowhere to go.

Mam was saying Kay wouldn't be able to go to Chris', which yeah I understand his house is tiny, and we wouldn't want her. Which isn't really true, having her here would be a huge thing with a lot of problems but I'd never turn her away. So they seem to think the best thing to do is buy the house between Kay and Chris so they have it in case mam dies, and that just seems wrong to me. It's like when you get that suspicion that something's going on that you don't know, even though I don't really think there is as mam tends to tell me most things. In detail. Over and over.

Then her mobile rang so she hung up on me. Oh well, no use worrying about it I guess.

I've written nothing today. Not one word. At least fictional words. I think my brain's on strike. However, I did get stuck into my mail backlog because I suck and have been gallivanting with my boys instead of doing what I'm supposed to lately. I'm going to do a few more then go looking for some Wade slash because someone *cough/Bettina/cough* has set me off wanting to read some.

I love Wade so much even though he's a child tyrant and has a strange flat face *lusts after his flat face*

I had something else to say and I can't remember now. I forgot when I saw the Busted pics in english_muffin's journal *g* I can tell you I'm GIPing again because someone needs to take PSP away from me. And I wonder why I don't get things done. Take away my graphics programmes and google and I'd be the most productive person in the world.
