A Little Bit of Random.... (1 or 2 offensive phrases)

I hate FACEBOOK, it's a nightmare... I'm addicted. :'(

It's not even remotely interesting anymore... *SIGH* but I still find myself logging in at least a thousand times a day, just to see what everyone is up to......
I think it's more being nosey, actually it's definitely being nosey... If someone posts a status about something that's going on in their lives.... I want to know more, and find myself quite irritated that they've had the cheek not to tell me exactly what's going on... (Now is one of those times I wish I could find the smileys. lol)
Is it normal to feel this way? Or do I just have too much time on my hands?
If it's the latter then why do I find I never have ENOUGH time? Oh dear, someone's in a pickle. (Yes, it is me!)

Then there's all the people who have added me from my school days, who would bully as soon as look at me. What on Earth was the purpose of me accepting them????? I don't want contact with people who didn't know how to treat their peers. But, despite all this, I still accept... Why? To be nosey, to find out what they are doing with their lives, and, yes, to find out if I'm any better...
I hate what I've turned into........
There is this one female who I'm 'friends' with, (only on facebook though), who used to be a little bit more than nasty about my weight by calling me a 'fat sl*g' or a 'fat b1tch*. I would just walk away, pretend to them I didn't hear them and cry about it all night kinda thing.
But, today, I was browsing her pictures, and she's definitely put on MORE THAN A LITTLE weight. And I found myself laughing, thinking it is finally 1 all... I hated that feeling, but it's what memories drag up..

And lastly, there's all the pointless games... I get dragged into them all, and play them obsessively for a few weeks, then forget about them. But people still insist on sending me at least a million requests a week... I'm currently standing at just over 100, after clearing them earlier. :( It wouldn't be so bad, but I only have 292 friends.. which is being seriously depleted by my insistent deleting. I'm also blocking people off my profile regularly, as I'm too NOSEY to delete them completely, but I don't want them seeing my life. (How much of a hypocrite am I? Actually, don't answer that! lol)

Anyway, I wasn't planning on writing this much about Facebook... and I suppose I'd better get on. (I'll write my reminder post in a mo. :)

Getting Ready For Christmas...

37 WEEKS (21 DAYS TO GO!)

Written on 10th November but backdated. :)


I decided I needed to start buying some Christmas presents this week. We're 3 weeks away from Due Date, and I'm nowhere near sorted.
I have absolutely no idea what to buy Little Man... he's a 4 year old into Transformers, Ben 10 etc... and it's all so bloody expensive. :(

So far I've bought him a Ben 10 bike, which is close to £100 before I even think of buying him anything else. And my usual budget is between £100-£150. Which, imo, is enough. But going on that, I'm at the bottom end of my budget already, and have nothing. :(
It's like I've said to people, it's not because I want to be mean, but once you start spending a lot and buying loads, kids seem to forget the value of it all.

I always appreciated everything I had for Christmas as a child, and I don't think there was a single year I didn't actually cry. I can remember most of my Christmas Presents over the years, and, yes, as I got older they did generally get more expensive.

Anyway, I've gone more than a little off topic now. :) Sorry.

So, I needed to get some things bought. Spending all day out, I came home with 2 pairs of pj's (for Little Man), a transformer toy (not a real one) 2 calendars (for presents) and a present for J's nephew.
So, not a very successful trip really, and the worst bit... We somehow spent £80.... :( Oh well...

I've still made a small start.. I know Little Man wants a BumbleBee transformer, so I'd best get searching for one for him. lol.

Anyway, that's about all in respect of Getting Ready for Christmas. :)
