The lost weekend

Up until Friday I was happily blogging at least one post a day then as usual Scott (brother) throws a spanner in the works! Firstly the kids were deposited on us for a whole weekend instead of just the obligatory Saturday night. Secondly as he's working away all week he decided it would be a good idea to borrow my laptop. Didn't think it would be so much of a problem as I still have the main PC but with my Mum being off sick it's not been as easy to get a few private minutes on the comp to put down my thoughts in electronic verse. Oh how I miss my laptop! Speaking of which it will now be costing me an extra fiver a month as I decided to take out insurance on it as I could see it going missing in Scott's care. Not that Scott is careless, I just don't feel safe it being out of the house. No doubt if it did go missing and I tried to make a claim the insurance brokers would say it's void as it wasn't in my possession at the time!!!

Also since I last blogged I've started reading Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. I love Gaiman's work, ok technically this is the first of his books I've read but I did listen to an audiobook of The Graveyard Book (which he himself read out aloud) and I have seen Stardust and Coraline; all of which are beyond superb. Almost near the end, should have it finished in the next day or so then onto Stardust. :)

Just got back from the Dentist, third dentist I've had in a year! Original dentist left at the beginining of the year not sure what happened to the last one I saw. Got told off for not brushing twice a day. I always brush in the morning and try to brush at night but I tend to forget and it doesn't help that the bathroom is downstairs so if I do remember I usually can't be arsed getting out of bed and traipsing all the way down just to brush my teeth.

My other big news today is that I went for a job interview, can't believe I almost forgot about that! Job isn't permanent or full time and it's not even teaching but it's better than having to prove myself to people beneath me on a weekly basis. Interview actually went pretty well but I expect that someone with more admin experience will come along and pip me to it. Should find out tomorrow evening at the latest if I'm successful.
