I Want Wednesday 16/9/9

It's I Want Wednesday again...so here's this week's wants.

 Still want an Iphone. I'll hopefully get one for Christmas, treat myself to one I think, for being a good girl all year.

Next on the List for I Want Wednesday is a Nintendo Wii... We went on Nick's the other night and my Wii Age was 37 and that's quite impressive to say that I am only 31. Nick and Hayles got ages of 79 and 47 and they're still in their teens. I couldn't help but laugh!Then I want this to go with the Wii package. Already have it on My DS but it's not quite the same!

Next the boots in the Link - couldn't get a picture.

I Want Wednesday

Well it seems that Wednesday is upon us again and that means :

I Want Wednesday

So here's my List of I want Wednesday for this week.

Firstly I want this car. A Ford Fiesta Zetec with Bluetooth technology and PAS, well everything really. I just don't want this colour though. I want a purple one. My Manager at work informed me that she's getting one of these on Friday...grrr!

An Iphone. Eveyone I know that has one keeps saying how good they are and how they're so easy to use etc...but there's a few good Iphone alternatives out there.

Like this Phone. It's the Samsung Tocco, just the same as the Iphone, with Touch screen and with all the same features (well almost) and it's cheaper but it's not the Iphone!

Then there's this one.

The Tocco Light. It seems a bit smaller and looks nicer but i think the Iphone comes out on top for me.

Next there's the Sony Ericsson W995...the best Sony Ericsson out yet. I'd love a red one. It just stands out so well. But then again, Kevin is due an upgrade on his contract come November and I know he wants one of these, so I think I'll be getting either a Samsung or the Iphone.

 Then there's this one...The W395. I had one of these for a couple of weeks and to be honest I wasn't all that keen, but still it was a cute little slider and I did like it.

Then again, I could go for this one.  It's not as good as the W995, but it may well be cheaper.

So now I am stuck as to which one I'll end up going for.

What do you guys think?

It's Better Late Than Never - FFM

I know it's Monday, but I've been away. Kevin took me to Presthaven Sands in North Wales for four days. It rained quite a lot, but we still managed to find something to do despite the horrible weather. I'll try and post some pictures up later on today, if not then later in the week.

So seeing as I wasn't around to post Friday Fantasy Man on Friday, here it is:
This week it's the turn of Andy Garcia. Ok he's a little over the hill, but they always say the older ones are better...Lol.

Friday Fantasy Man

As Promised, this week it's Kevin Bacon on the Friday Fantasy Man. I have to admit, I've seen a few of his films, but my favourite has to be "Footloose". I could watch that film over and over again.






Hmmmm..who can resist that six-pack?



I loved him in "Footloose"

Haven Break.

This is where I'll be come Monday..so no blogging for four days, unless Kevin lets me take my laptop. Lol.

Friday fantasy Man coming later today.

I Want Wednesday

Ok, So I know it's a day late, but can you blame a girl for wanting an early night? I was in bed last night for half past ten.

Here's my first installment of I want Wednesday.


A pair of Nike Zoom Structure Triax + 12's. In order to kick start my running regime and lose a few pounds.



Obviously to pair up with my Nike Running shoes. We have two of these in Yellow at work, I keep meaning to go and buy it, seeing as it's in the Staff room, just been so busy in my other job this week, that I have not had the time.



Just because I need music to fill my Pod with. £200GBP should be nice.



I loved her 1st Book, Angel. Read Angel Uncovered and now Sapphire...

Publisher: JOHN MURRAY
Publication Date: 06/03/2008
Format: Hardback
Til Death Do Us Part

Forced marriage is a subject rarely written about by those involved in it. Now Sameem Ali, a councillor for Moss Side, Manchester, reveals her moving story of childhood abuse, forced marriage and eventual escape. Belonging is a book for those inspired by Ugly and A Piece of Cake.

Abandoned by her parents, Sameem Ali spent several years in a children's home. When her family wanted her back, she couldn't wait. But she was entering a nightmare . . .

Sameen was beaten by her mother and treated as a servant; the only bright spot in her life seemed to be a trip to Pakistan, to her family's village. But once there Sameen ; aged just thirteen ; was forced to marry a complete stranger. Two months later, pregnant, she was back in Glasgow suffering abuse by her family. Even when she managed to escape, her terrible experiences were not over. For she had violated her family's 'honour' . . .

This one sounds quite moving..I'll post a review of it when I've finally read it.

Night Muisc - Jojo Moyes. Just because it looks fun.

The Secret Between Us - Barbara Delinsky. I like a twist to the plot.

Change of Heart - Jodi Picoult. I love her books, so I have to read this.

Breakfast at Tiffany's - Truman Capote. I've seen the film with Audrey Hepburn so why not read the book?

A Clockwork Orange - Anthony Burgess. Because it's supposedly banned!

Drop Dead Beautiful - Jackie Collins. Lucky Santangelo, need I say more?

Hotel Babylon - Imogen Edwards Jones. After reading Sirena's review I wanna read all of these.

This Year It Will Be Different - Maeve Binchy. I've always been something of a fan of Maeve.

Anything by Joanna Trollop. I don't know why, but I just love her books.

If you've already read any of these, please tell me what you thought, but don't give too much away.

Random Wednesday Quotes - Funny comments.

1. I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

2. Friends are like Melons;to find a good one you must try a hundred.

3. Don't talk about yourself;the others will, after you've gone.

Girls Vs Grown Women

Girls vs GROWN Women
Are you a girl or a grown woman?

Girls vs GROWN Women

Girls want to control the man in their life.
GROWN women know that if he's truly hers, he doesn't need controlling. This is Me!


Girls check you constantly for not calling them.
GROWN women are usually too busy to realize you hadn't. Not too sure about this one..I'm forever checking my cellphone.

Girls are afraid to be alone.
GROWN women are not. They use this as a time for personal growth. I don't like being alone if I know the people I live with aren't home that night.

Girls ignore the good guys.
GROWN women ignore the bad guys. Bad Boys are always a temptation but when you find Mr. Right you'll want to ignore the bad guys.

Girls make you come home.
GROWN women make you want to come home.

Girls fight other females claiming "you took my man".
GROWN women know that he isn't worth the trouble & no one can "take"
anyone, he chose to leave!

Girls leave their schedule wide-open and wait for a guy to call and
make plans.
GROWN women make their own plans and nicely tell the guy to get in
where he fits.

Girls worry about not being pretty and/or good enough for their man.
GROWN women know that they are pretty and/or good enough for any man,
flaws & all! - My man loves me for who and what I am and wouldn't change me for the world! I'd change a few things about me though.

Girls try to monopolize all their man's time(i.e., don't want him
hanging with his friends).
GROWN women realize that a lil' bit of space makes the 'together time
'even more special- and goes to kick it with her own friends. - We often see his friends together, but he has his man time with his friends and I have my girlie time with my girlfriends too.

Girls think a guy crying is weak.
GROWN women offer their shoulder and a tissue while understanding that
he's still human. - I like a Man to show emotion - it does prove that he is human!

Girls want to be spoiled and 'tell' their man so.
GROWN women 'show' him and make him comfortable enough to splurge on
her, without fear of losing his 'manhood'. - A spontaneous man is always good to have.

Girls get hurt by one man and make all men pay for it.
GROWN women know that HE was just one man (and know that if they stop
shopping in the same store, they will stop picking the same man). True. It's happened to me and I've learnt from the past by finding the one I want to be with.

Girls fall in love and chase aimlessly after the object of their affection, IGNORING all 'signs'.
GROWN women know that sometimes the one you love, don't always love you
back-and know they must move on, without bitterness.

Girls will read this and unwisely get an attitude.
GROWN women will read this and pass it on to other GROWN women and
their male friends. Hmmm yes maybe.

Friday Fantasy Man Pt 2

Friday fantasy Man

I know last week, I said this week's friday fantasy man was Kevin Bacon, but after going on't turf on Wednesday night I had to post some pics of their goalscorer Robbie Blake. He won the game for Burnley, scoring their only goal against a rather poor Manchester United side, of which included Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney, Michael Owen and Dimitar Berbatov. United Had a few decent chance but were extremely poor.



Burnley's Robbie Blake



He might not be to everyone's taste, but he's got a certain something about him...and he's still only 33.

Sneak preview

Tomorrow's Friday fantasy Man features not one but three fantasy men.

They're all footballer's. Or rather Soccer Players to my friends over in the USA.

Nights Out Update 15.08.09

Brickies...Looks like Kev's about to punch me here. But he wouldn't do that would you Kev!





Kevin and Me in the Lounge aka Park View as we've all been known to call it.




Me...that's not a bad photo of me actually...




The Usual Suspects Line-up. Thought this was quite funny when I saw it. Like the fact that Kev's Benicio Del Toro - Kevin the Bull...


The Hangover Line-up...Not seen this film yet so can't comment.

Orphan Movie Review

Went to see this on Sunday night with Kevin and all I can say is...Shit! I mean that as in it scared me in some parts..some parts were sick, others funny. for those of you who haven't seen it, I'd only recommend it if you are not at all squeamish and don't mind the sight of blood etc...

Kate (Vera Farmiga) and John Coleman (Peter Sarsgaard) are experiencing strains in their marriage after Kate's third child was stillborn. The loss is particularly hard on Kate, who is still recovering from a drinking habit that cost her job. When the couple decides to adopt another child, they adopt Esther (Isabelle Fuhrman), a nine-year-old Russian girl, from the local orphanage. While Kate and John's deaf daughter Max (Aryana Engineer) embraces Esther almost immediately, their son Daniel (Jimmy Bennett) is somewhat less welcoming.

Not long after Esther arrives, she pushes a girl who teased her in class off a slide, breaking her leg. Kate and John initially seem to believe Esther's claim that it was an accident. Max saw Esther shove the girl, and later covers for Esther by saying that the girl "slipped." However, Kate grows suspicious when Esther, who watched Kate and John have sex, expresses knowledge of sex and its slang far more sophisticated than would be expected for a child her age, and is further disturbed when Sister Abigail, the head of the orphanage, warns her and John about Esther's tendency to be around when things go wrong. Esther overhears this, and later kills Sister Abigail with a hammer to the head, later convincing Max to help her hide the body and the hammer. After they hide it in their treehouse, Daniel witnesses them descending the treehouse, and later that night, Esther holds a box cutter to Daniel's neck and threatens to cut off his penis if he tells anyone what he saw.

An increasingly suspicious Kate is told by the orphanage that they can't find any record of the Russian orphanage Esther came from, but However, John doesn't believe her, despite continued ominous behavior by Esther, which includes sneaking into John's workshop, breaking her own arm in a vise, and convincing John that Kate broke it a scuffle. On Esther's first day back at school, she slips Kate's SUV into reverse while she and Daniel are getting out, nearly killing Max. Badly shaken, Kate buys two bottles of wine, but at the last minute pours one of them down the drain.

Kate subsequently learns, through a search of Esther's room, that she was housed at the Saarne Institute, a mental hospital in Estonia. She calls the Institute and discovers that it isn't an orphanage, but a mental institution. Continuing her investigation of Esther's time at the Institute, she is convinced Esther is a "bad seed" and wants her out of the house, but John and her counselor think that Kate is relapsing into her drinking habit, and after John produces the other bottle Kate bought the night before, he threatens to leave her unless she gets help.

A few days later, Daniel talks to Max about Esther's behavior. Max reveals that she's drawn several pictures of Esther's misdeeds, and that they hid the hammer Esther used to kill Sister Abigail in his treehouse. Daniel decides to get the hammer and go to the police. However, Esther follows him up and sets the treehouse on fire, intending to get rid of the evidence and kill Daniel. Daniel escapes escapes by falling out of the tree, and is severely injured. Esther tries to finish him off by smashing a brick over his head, but Max shoves her out of the way just in time. At the hospital, Esther tries to kills him, and after Kate knocks Esther to the ground, she is sedated by doctors.

At home, Esther cuts one of Kate's dresses to make a provocative outfit and puts on a large amount of makeup in an attempt to seduce John. When John threatens to call the orphanage about her, Esther stabs him to death. Max witnesses this and hides in her closet.

As Kate is coming out of sedation, she gets a call from the Saarne Institute's director, Dr. Värava, who reveals that Esther isn't a girl, but a 33-year-old woman named Leena. She has hypoplasia, a disorder that stunted her physical growth, and has spent most of her life posing as a little girl. The doctor tells Kate that Esther is dangerously psychotic, and has killed dozens of people. Horrified, Kate rushes home to find Esther stalking Max with John's pistol. Kate tries to stop her, but Esther shoots her in the arm and tries to chase Max.

Their chase takes them outside, where Kate ends up struggling with Esther at a frozen pond. Max acquires the gun, and shoots a hole in the ice, causing Kate and Esther to fall in. After fighting off Esther's attempts to drown her, Kate crawls out of the hole, followed by Esther. Reverting to her little girl persona, Esther begs for her life, addressing Kate as her mother. Kate responds that she is not Esther's mother, and breaks Esther's neck, sending her back into the pond to drown.
