Big Brother 8 is Finally Here!
It’s finally here… BB8 starts tonight! How very exciting. Usually by this time I already feel clued up on who is going into the house but things are either really tight lipped this time or I have been reading the wrong papers as I hardly know anything. Apparently there is the cousin of Kieran Richardson going in and a cleaner but other than that it’s pretty much a mystery… ooo and the oldest contestant ever!
The house is supposed to be really small this time with the bath in the lounge, the cooker in the bedroom and the fridge in the garden… Also with the pool being half in the garden and half in the house! Apparently they are only putting girls in the house first then gradually letting the boys in… But enough surmising…. All will become clear at 9pm tonight!!!
Please take this blog as fore warning that I am officially going to be addicted to BB as of today (even though I swear every year I won’t). I can’t help it, I have to admit that I prefer once a few have been booted out but I am fascinated by watching these freaks live like guinea pigs… I have even been known to watch them sleep!!!
Happy BB watching tonight peeps!

ICandy Apple, DS and a Migraine
Not had the best of weekends this weekend. Saturday was awesome cos we ordered our Pram we having… well actually it’s a travel system… and I LOVE it!!! Me, my Mum and Nanna had a little trip to Bristols in Sutton and what a shop… It was fantastic and the lady that helped us was sooooo lovely, she happily demonstrated almost every pram available and spent hours with us. I fell in love with the pram that we have ordered straight away and when we had the full demonstration, loved it even more. It was everything that I had imagined I wanted from a pram and was just the look I wanted… the next job was justifying to Matt that £521 was a reasonable amount to spend on the travel system!! So, I ring him up and tell him that I have seen the pram I want and can he come to the shop in Sutton to have a look…. Of course the first thing he asks is ‘how much?’… So I tell him that we get everything we want for £521 to which he replies ‘No Way’….
Anyway… I persuade him to come along and have a look and he also fell in love with it and it’s now on order… Yay!!! It’s an I Candy Apple Travel System. It’s almost purely black apart from a fleece lined foot muff that we have ordered in Sand… I’m so excited and can’t wait till November to pick it up!!!!
Other than that my weekend has been pretty dull… Had what I think was a migraine that started at about 5.30am Sunday morning and I still had it when I went to bed last night. It was so bad it woke my up yesterday morning and I was in tears I was in soooo much pain!
Oooo more big news!! Matt bought me a Nintendo DS yesterday, how very exciting so that did cheer me up slightly so was having a blast playing on that last night and can’t wait to go home to play tonight.
I’m meeting my friend for tea tonight as I haven’t seen her for an eternity and she is also pregnant due 2 weeks after me! After tea it’s gonna be hardcore DS playing!!!!!
Oh So Very Proud
Needed to do just a quick blog to say how proud I am of my cousin Natalie!! She is such a champion and as you can see from the pics, the first taken in Dec 06 and the second taken in May 07… she has totally transformed herself. She has been on a diet since December 06 and has lost well over 5st up to now. Doesn’t she just look FABULOUS!!! Well Done Nat… Oh So Very Proud of You!!! Love Ya!!!
Do I Also Take the Plunge?
Well Ally has now got me thinking… She is taking the plunge and dying her hair a lush colour just like Fearns (see pic) and I have always fancied dying my blonde hair brown… but will this be too drastic?!?!? I have always been blonde and I am actually a natural blonde but for the last 6 months I have had highlights as it goes a bit dark in the winter… So what do I do?? Stick with what I know and stay with my blonde or do I also take the plunge and become a brunette? I have never ever been brave with colour on my hair so this would be a HUGE step for me!!! One thing that puts me off is the fact that I am SO fair and look half dead most of the time cos I’m so pale… Will the darker hair make this worse?
Visited the Talbot last night and had such a nice night. I met Jay at 7 and we had some tea then Matt joined us after football then Ally arrived looking so lovely and girly and she made me go ‘awwwwwww’! Then Carl came a little later. The boys hung around round the pool table a while as I think mine and Ally’s conversations were boring them for some bizarre reason then we all had a chat and a laugh and it’s been such a long time since we met up. Jay got me a present which I do need to share with you but think it requires a pic to fully appreciate it so I will do that tonight and blog it tomorrow.
Tonight I am doing nothing other than chillin and having a nice relaxing bath. I will be watching the football and will be utterly disappointed if my boy Crouch isn’t playing!!
Work is as dull as ever, especially today as I am really really tired (for once) and I am actually finding the simplest tasks such as typing absolutely knackering!!!! Never mind though ay!?! We are half way through the week and we have Monday off so that can only be a good thing!
Don’t have much to report on the pregnancy front, no major developments other than an ever expanding waistline which is THE best excuse to shop!!!!
Think that will do for today… so tired now…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
9 Days to Go!
I saw the advert this morning!! Only 9 days to go till Big Brother! I can’t wait, I’m hoping this year they put a few slightly more normal people in than last year cos they were all just first class weirdo’s last year!
So the weekend is over… AGAIN! Why do they have to go by so quickly?!?! Had a very quiet and chilled weekend really, it went a bit like this…
Saturday: Woke up and cleaned through the house. Matt came home and we had some lunch then Jamie and Kelly came round to watch the football… this was rather amusing as Kel is a huge Man U fan so her and Jamie were backing them and I just really don’t like Christiano Ronaldo so I backed Chelsea… YAY!!!! After the football we went to see Matt’s sister for a couple of hours then we came home and Jamie and Kelly came back round with a DVD which was really good, I can’t remember what it was called but it was about 9/11 and had Nicholas Cage in… Proper made me cry!
Sunday: Matt had football so I did lots of washing and stuff then we went out for dinner to the Elm Tree in Scarcliffe with my brother and Oh My God… it was the nicest Sunday Dinner I have ever eaten out… mmmmm mmmmm, and it was only £4.95… Delicious!!! We then came home and I fell asleep for an hour (the baby was tired) and they we went a walk to Pleasley wood as it was such a lovely evening then came home, watched the BAFTA’s then went to bed!!!
And that’s my weekend, so it’s back at work today… Boo!! What can I say about that other than same old, same old!!! Roll on the weekend as it will be a bonus with it being a bank holiday!
Tonight I’m doing nothing but tomorrow I’m off to the Talbot with Jay and Ally so that will be nice cos it’s been forever since we caught up (other than over email)!
Food for 5 Year Olds!
I am soooooo bored today. As usual my job is as dull as ever and I have the most boring tasks to do and I simply cannot find the motivation to them. Roll on my mat leave then I can seriously start looking for a new job that might stimulate me slightly!
Not much to report from yesterday really, had a VERY chilled night last night, even had take away but to be honest I really didn’t enjoy it and I could still taste it this morning… yak! So after tea I watched an awesome Hollyoaks and what a shock… so wasn’t expecting JP and Craog ending up in bed together!!! Fabulous T.V… Everyone should watch The Oaks! After a little T.V watching I had a nice relaxing bath then went to bed with my Horlicks again and I gotta say, for the second night running I had a reasonable nights sleep… I’m not gonna get too used to it tough cos who knows what tonight may bring.
Ally and I have been having a great discussion about food today and we have decided that the food 5 year olds eat rocks!!!! On Tuesday night for tea Matt and I had, Cheesy Crispy Pancakes, Smiley Faces and Spaghetti… it was lush!!!! Got to be one of my fave meals… I also adore waffles and fish fingers and all thing s a typical 5 year old might like…At least I know if I ever have Ally over for dinner I can cook her any of the above and she would be overjoyed!!!! After this discussion today I need to have smiley faces for tea tonight!!!
I’m off to Debenhams with my mum tonight as it their 25% spectacular thing so maybe I might pick up a lil bargain! Treated my self to a couple of bits from Next online today and also ordered Matt some combats as a lil surprise. Also ordered myself Linkin Parks new album – Minutes to Midnight so can’t wait for that to come.
Think that it for today I think guys!!!!
Byeeeeeee XxX
2 Weeks till BB!!!!!
I’m back at work today. I’ve been of work since last Thursday after my vomiting episode! I put it down to being a grotty stomach bug cos gees I felt ill all Thursday and Friday… Then to top it all off I got a stinking cold! Spent most of my time resting in bed which I think is what I needed. Although I’m still suffering with major sleepness night I finally managed a decent night’s sleep!
Matt and I went a walk to my mums last night as I thought the fresh air might do me good, so we tootled off and also walked home and I did actually feel much better for it. We got home and I went straight up to bed and Matt delivered me my lush cup of Horlicks… And I had a pretty reasonable night sleep!!! YAY!!!!
We were looking at holidays last night as we both really want to go abroad and we were lookin at going on June 2nd ish. Turns out we can’t go then cos Matt has his football presentation at the end of that week, the week after I have 3 appointments in one week, the week after that is my cousins wedding, the week after that my colleague is off from work and then we are in July and I’ll be almost 20 weeks pregnant. I really wanted to go before I was too pregnant and before it got to hot!!! Think I’ll take the hint from destiny that it’s just not meant to be. Maybe we should settle for a weekend away in
England!
Went to our friends, Jamie and Kelly’s house on Sunday for Dinner. Jamie cooked and I was soooooooooo impressed. He is self taught bless him and it was lush!!! I was so proud of him!!! I need to teach Matt to cook a Sunday Dinner rather than just the waffles he is currently capable of!!!!!
Well I have done a little investigating and it seems that Big Brother will be starting on May 30th!!! How exciting is that????? I’m a HUGE BB fan and always end up addicted; no matter how much I promise my self I won’t every year!!!! Hope it does turn out to be starting this night as it is only 2 weeks away!!! Bizarre for it to start on a Wednesday though, bet it’s so they can evict on the Friday!!!!
I’m Pregnant!
I have decided to share me news… think the title gives it away… I’m pregnant!!! I’m 11 weeks and 5 days pregnant. How awesome is that?????? As some of u may know I was told at 19 that due to the damage I had been left with following a pelvic abscess that I would be more than likely infertile, I had further investigation carried out and found out I had damage to my fallopian tubes in particular to my left side. I had at this point resigned myself to the fact that I would never be able to conceive naturally.
Then voila… I’m pregnant. I came off the pill in December and conceived in February. That’s just mega isn’t it!!! I think I’m actually still in disbelief as I was not prepared to ever do a positive pregnancy test so the shock of it all is still sinking in.
I do think I feel pregnant, I can certainly see I am pregnant as I have a visible bump and my boobs have been agony!! So painful in fact that I have to buy special bras for sleeping in.
My sleeping has been rubbish since being pregnant, I’m so exhausted and soooo tired but when I go to bed at night I sleep for a couple of hours then that’s about it…. Full on disturbed sleeping, it’s driving me insane now cos I’m so physically and mentally drained that even the smallest of tasks seem to take it out of me. I had last week off work and generally perked up and started to feel much better as I was getting the opportunity to relax when ever I felt I needed rest and sleep whenever I needed but I’ve been back at work since Tuesday and I now feel as bad if not worse than ever before.
I have been sick for the first time this morning. I’ve had plenty of nausea but never actually been sick… Until today and it has proper knocked me off my feet, I feel more exhausted then ever today. My head hurts, my eyes are sore and I have had to eat for the baby’s sake and it is so hard cramming food down my throat! I think maybe it’s a mixture of feeling very run down and being so tired that I may have been sick.
Regardless of all the above I am absolutely over the moon that I am going to be a mummy and cannot wait. As some of u may already know this has been something I have wanted forever and I’ve been broody since about the age of 4…lol!!!
I have had some scans already just as precaution really due to my previous problems and have lots of damage internally and everything is fine. Baby has an awesome heartbeat and at 9 weeks 4 days looks absolutely amazing…. See:
My next scan is at 20 weeks so I can’t wait for that, due to my other scans being pretty urgent ones Matt hasn’t been able to come along as yet so the 20 week scan will be the first time he sees his baby other than the early scan pics.
Pregnancies today are very much Midwife led and the only contact that you generally have with a doctor is on referral to the midwife and if you have any problems and have to be referred to a consultant. I feel rather relieved that due to my history I get to also be seen by a consultant who also happens to be the lady that looked after me through my problems and was my gynaecologist and will now act as my obstetrician and will be fully clued up on my past so I feel in very safe hands.
So there is my news anyway, I’m now trying to decide whether or not to have an extra page as a like a diary or just document my pregnancy in my everyday blog, what d’ya think?
I’m really struggling at work today, have no concentration, motivation or energy to do anything due to feeling so ill so may have to leave early in an attempt to catch up on some desperately needed sleep.
Return of the Chelle
Well contrary to popular belief… I am still alive and well, even though there has been NO blogging for what seems an eternity! The reason for this being the fact that I have been on annual leave from work… YAY!!!! Broke up on Thursday 26th April and came back yesterday. Had a pretty chilled week off (which was my intention), did some shopping including a trip to Meadowhall on Wednesday with my Nanna who, bless her, actually out shopped me at the age of 77!!! My legs were killing and I had to keep having a sit down and my Nanna battled on and never took a break once… she was like ‘you go and have a sit down a minute and I’ll have a look in this shop’. Bless her… Love my Nanna so much!
Other than that spent the week relaxing and catching up on lots of sleep, got all my ironing and done and gave the house a good old clean.
Had a fall out with my next door neighbour after I was woken at 7.30am for the second day running last Tuesday. I opened the window and asked him if it was really necessary that he had to dig his garden up at 7.30am everyday and he proper laid in to me!!!! What a horrid horrid horrid man. I mean, I really don’t think that I was being unreasonable asking him to stop the banging… he was digging up his garden and it literally sounded like he was coming through my wall. I explained to him the reason why I was so in need of the rest I was trying to get and he generally didn’t give a shite… his reason for needing to dig the garden up was so he could get it done before it got too hot…. Right, let’s bear in mind here that we are in
England, it’s the beginning of May and we weren’t exactly experiencing a heat wave last week, and to top it off at no point through the day does his back garden get the sun.
He then persisted to moan at me for having my Radio on and the patio door open the day before as it disturbed him reading his Newspaper… to which I informed that at least it was of a reasonable hour and was around 10am!!!! Didums mate… So sorry for disturbing your vital newspaper reading and I swear to you he would probably have JUST heard my radio as I don’t have it on loud and it don’t even go loud, it was about a tenner from Asda so we aint talking a ghetto blaster here!!!!
I have decided that he is an award winning Male Chauvinist Pig anyway for the following reasons….. He sends his wife to work full time, she mows all the lawns, does all the cooking, does all the washing and I assume does all the cleaning too. They are defo in their 50’s and he sits home all day!!!! To top it off the response I got to some information I gave him topped my diagnosis of MCP off as he didn’t bat an eye lid or offer any kind of apology. What a dick… They are originally from
Milton Keynes and are clearly not used to a little village life so obviously have no mutual respect for his neighbours and community as us normal people that have grown up in the village where it is just second nature to respect those who live near you.
So for the above reasons I decided that the day our house went wrong when they fitted the wrong kitchen we should have pulled out of the sale cos all we seem to have suffered is bad luck… It get’s boring after a while. Don’t get me wrong I love my house now but feel I would love it even more if I could pick it up and move it somewhere else as I just don’t seem to be settling somehow, not cos of my neighbours cos they really don’t bother me cos we very rarely see them anyway so that issue is easily ignored but there is something that I just can’t lay my finger on that unsettles me somehow…. Is that odd?????
I have some news to share but I feel reluctant to share it on my blog for some reason…. What should I do guys? Share or not?
I think that is about all I have to say really…. You forget such a lot in over a week don’t you…. Oh yeah, work is as shit as ever!!!
