Hey ho people! Remember me??
No? No?.....Well, your loss really! 'cause all the goss happens here!
Anyway.....Hi people!!
Where did I leave off? Oh yeah, I moved house.
Sheesh! Was that 6 months ago? Wow! Time flies eh?!
Hmm....six months worth to catch up on.....
Well, here goes!
I'm still not working, my 'adviser'( I use the term loosely) at the jobcentre, is an absolute...&£%$@#......nice person!
I have an IQ that is in the top 5% of the population and this person seems to think I am an idiot because I'm unemployed. Treat people the way you want to be treated is my motto, so she'll get her comeuppance.
Honestly, some people are given a title and they think they know it all...
Oh...Phone call........

Hey, hey, hey! I'm back! Albeit on a telecommunications device, but I'm here!
Did y'all miss me? Anyway. I have moved house! Yes, I have! I loved, yes, you read right, past tense, loved the new place until..stuff happened. Another story. I moved all on my own. I had a 2 hour window to move the heavy stuff but the rest, I'm paying for. Anyway! I'm in a smaller house. I thought I could run away but alas! Everything that I do seems to haunt me!
My 'dream job' went as sour as dairy products. But that's another blog or a phone call to the correct authorities. This whole blog makes sense to me and when I finally gather my brain together, it will makes sense to you too!

Jealousy
Life is finally treating me right. I've been through more than anyone would like in a lifetime! But, you know what?
I believe, after 23 years, I deserve it. I've brought up a family, I've had my share of..tyrannical people and I really don't care what anyone else thinks! I know what I've came through to get where I am!
So, if anyone I know thinks I seem to be above them, they really don't know me as a person!

On the Move.
Well! How things change! Work is fab now it's under new management! I now love my job!
I also have a date for the move. It's all happening on the 1st of June. Meep!
Well, I get the keys on the 1st but I'm moving on the 2nd. everything is all sorted out, thanks to the wonderful new friends I've made through work. They are an amazing couple and I owe them big time. I have lots of respect for these people and now need to find time to invite them for drinks at my new crib!
Daughter #1 is always there. As usual, I can rely on her for everything. <3
So, yeah, more upbeat now that everything is happening. I just wish I wasn't a last minute sorta person. But then I'm kinda long in the tooth. Life experiences and such.
The moral of this tale....never give up. If you beleive strongly enough and work hard enough, sometimes your nightmares turn good.

New Job
So, as the title says, I got this new job. Not exactly what I applied for but I was given the impression at my interview that it was a step up the proverbial career ladder. How wrong I was. I am unhappy, I have nothing to work with and the criticism is not that constructive.
Feeling pretty pissed off about it all at the moment. I put my heart and soul into it and have got nothing in return.
I feel used for the first time in 15 years. Pretty close to throwing in the towel to be honest. It's affecting my whole life, soul, being. I'm too old to deal with that.
My problem is that I got daughter #1 a job there too and I feel my negativity is rubbing off on her. She may or may not enjoy it but it's a horrible atmosphere to begin with anyway.
The moral of the story is that my dream job seemed to have, somehow, turned into a nightmare. I was a happier person without it.

New Job.
Okay. I went to interview #1. It was for the position of Bar Supervisor. After being impressed by my cv, the manager of said establishment stated that he was also looking for a head chef and that I was exactly what he was looking for and would I be interested. Who was I to say no to such a good chance?!
The establishment has just been bought over after being closed for two years. It's being completely refurbished with all new staff. I will have my own kitchen, two chefs under me and a kitchen porter. Go me!
I'm well excited and can't wait to start. Looks like my life is finally falling into place.
Oh, I never went to interview #2. Would you've?!

Nostalgia.
Well, I've managed to line up a couple of interviews tomorrow. Wooo! No college again. Ooops.
One job is a chef in a nursing home about 10 or so miles from my house, the other is supervisor in a pub about 6 miles from my house in the other direction!.
Because of my health, I've put on a stack of weight in the last six months. Ergo, I have nothing to wear to either of them! I'm thinking I might've packed the 'Spanx' already. Any help would be appreciated ladies.
On another note, looking through all the stuff that came from the loft brought back some memories! Good and bad! I forgot that I was a mad teapot collector! I have loads!! Seem to have grown out of that now so a visit to eBay might be in order for all those other mad tea pot people! I don't even like tea! Oh the irony.
I found loads of stuff I thought I'd thrown out so I believe eBay will be seeing a lot of it. What I did enjoy looking over was school books, calendars, cards and all the other stuff the kids made when at school. Nostalgia!!
I even allowed daughter #1 to read through my diaries. She loved that bit!
Great weather today too. I hate the cold so it suits me perfectly.

That Awkward Moment....
Continuing on from my last post, I'm not a good sleeper at the best of times but I'm a drunk sleeper. I was awakened on Sunday morning by rumblings in the bathroom. Once I got my head together, I remembered the ex was on my couch. Grabbing my dressing gown, I ran downstairs and there he was, phoning yet another taxi! Anyway, to quote the kids on facebook.....'That awkward moment when' it was time to say bye. It was fine the night before, a good drink and it's kisses and hugs to everyone but I'm rather more reserved when sober. It was okay considering. A peck on the cheek and a 'be in touch' later and he was away. I still felt the taxi driver thought he was a booty call but maybe that's my paranoia.

The ex.
Well!....I got mt loft cleared. Well, as cleared as a man can do. (daughter #1 is going back up)
But I got the heavy stuff down and it was an Alladin's cave of finds for daughter #1! She found....her first pair of shoes, her high school yearbook and a few other things she wouldn't care to remember. And she thought I was a bad mum?! Hehe. She knows how I feel.
But, hey, the whole ex thing? It was like I'd always spoke to him. Was such a good night.Dropped a major clanger, but I think he forgave me and the night went on!
I invited him to kip on the sofa but he declined. Thank goodness! My sober self couldn't deal with him the next morning! So he paid £16 for the ten mile taxi journey home.
Well......Lying in bed, getting sleepy as one does, my phone rings. I answer it and it's the ex. I thought he was calling to say he had a good night and that he was home safe, but nooooo. This is Medusamum's household and ergo, drama! He was ever so polite in saying...."are my house keys in your kitchen?" To which I replied "Oh my gosh! They are!!!" or polite words to the same effect. "Do you have no-one around with spare keys?" 'No' he replied. Shit! I had to take him in!!
As I speak, I'm waiting on him arriving back (in a £16 taxi) to kip on my sofa. Exactly the thing I didn't want!!
Can life get ANY better?!?!

Parents.
Went down to see the parentals on Monday for a quick visit, just to check in type thing? Got home today! (Wednesday)
I have amazing parents. They treat me like I'm ten years old again in the way they spoil and look after me. Love them to bits!
Even so, it did steal two days from my packing week!
Daughter #1 sorted that out though when I came home. "I don't care how tired you are, we have work to do!" Said she! So like the good parent I am, I obeyed and cleared out a cupboard. got another few boxes packed too! Here's to the daughters of the world!!

Cardboard.
This one's for my stalker, who, ever so gently reminded me, she has no idea what is going on in my life! Apologies to #1 stalker. So....*takes a deep breath*.....the packing has begun!! Yes! Wooo!! Flags out and all that malarky! And because I've started the whole packing thingy, I've found stuff to sell on eBay. YAY! That's where I've been all this time.
I'm living in a sea of cardboard boxes. So much so that I already feel homeless.
My house looks like somebody took the roof off and stirred it up with a big wooden spoon and I've still got looooooads to do!! I'm so busy, I've actually forgotten what that stuff is that gets you drunk.....ummm....alcohol I believe it's called?! Not long 'till D day now or should that be M day as in 'Moving' day? Yeah, I now officially call it M day. Would be nice if I had an official date to go with the official name but, hey, I'm living in cardboard here and can't possibly be choosy!!!
In other news.....well......there is no other news! I'm consumed in all this cardboard you see!
So, there ye go....a quick update. I'll try and spend more time with you next post.

Unemployment Sucks!
Yeah. The job? I got it! Go me!!!
I never took it though. The guy was looking for me to do 50 hours a week. Usual hours for a chef. But, it was a toss up between that job and college. Now. I'm two months away from getting my diploma and when it came to the crunch, me being all growed up and everything, chose the diploma. So, bye bye job that was gonna pay me heaps!!! *crawls into a corner and dies a little*
So, there ye go! I am actually an adult! When did THAT happen???

Blah, blah....
Aaaaarrrrggghhhhhh!!! I can't find my motivation! Have you seen it?
I continue making lame excuses for packing. No more!! Speaking to a neighbour today, she said she has loads of boxes in her loft from her move and is going to look them out. Woooo. I can finally make a start! I'm actually getting worried now as D-day is getting closer and closer! I'm panicking about this move! I have no manpower. I'm just picturing me and daughter #1 lugging sofas and fridge freezers up two flights of stairs! I know sisters are doing it for themselves but come on!!
In other news.....Daughter #1 is now doing gel nails for a very reasonable price. So, if anyone in the Glasgow area is looking for nails......What?! She's my daughter! I need to shamelessly plug her!
Anyway. I'm away back to sort out my wordly goods.

ARGH!!
Well, hello little blog. It's been a while.
What's that? You missed me?
Aww shucks. I'm flattered.
Okay, okay! My blog talks back to me! Problem?!
Well, update. I've been skipping college. To pack up the house you ask?
Of course not! Just for the simple fact I can't be bothered! I'm on my third year and I gave a damn the first two so I'm allowed okay?!
My loft still isn't cleared. Urgh. That's what's holding me back. Honest! That being cleared would kick start me!
Excuses? Maybe.... definitely.
Well I have bigger fish to fry! Or tapas to make if I get this job!
Yes. Job. :)
Toss of the coin tomorrow at the interview. Here's the facts:

Toss of the coin tomorrow at the interview. Here's the facts:
- I have no money, ergo, job = money
- It's 50 hours a week. (Chefs are used to those kinda hours)
- I have 3 months of college left.
- If I took it, I probably would need to quit college.
- I would have an income.
- I only have 3 months left of 3 years work.
- I need an income.
- It would keep the wolves from the door.
- I'm getting deeper and deeper into debt.
So! Comments on this one would be appreciated! 'Cause, as I've mentioned previously, I HATE procrastination!

Update on Saturday Nights
Here I am. Just done an all nighter with daughter #1.We sat doing karaoke. We are X factor material. Until we sober up that is. I swear she's a bad, bad influence and she must take it from her daddy!
Speaking of which......
Daddy, ergo, ex husband #1 text me tonight. What is it with Saturday's?!
Apparently, he was horny! And drunk!! I declined :)
I NEED.....company......

Well, Saturday has come and gone and the ex cancelled on me!
I know, right!! But he did text and let me know he had to work so I guess I can let him off.
Still haven't started packing >.< My new excuse is that the moving date has been put back so I now have more time. Well, that and the fact I can't get a hold of any boxes! I think I'm gonna have to buy them!
Anyway.....pretty slow week here. Not a lot has been happening. See, I can be boring sometimes!

Arachnids
Daughter #1 went to visit the downstairs loo, She reappeared telling me that spring is here.
Why such a random question? Well, the downstairs loo, or as I call it....Arachnid city is back!
They only ever appear during the months of March through September. They are big......Imagine the size of the inner tube of a toilet roll. Well, they wouldn't even fit through that! And they only gather in the downstairs loo!!
Well, that's it! I'm finished using that place. Daughter #1 is trying to get her cat to catch it but the cat doesn't seem to be hungry! Curses!!
Wooooo! Cat #1 caught the beast and had such a feast! (What a poet I am!) But I still won't use that place ever again!
Just as well it's only another 4 weeks or so!

More.....Procrastination?
In college today, I felt like a hobo. Why you ask?
Well, I was running around putting other people's discarded newspapers in my bag!
Why, when I had no intention of reading them? I need them to wrap all my precious lead crystal of course!
Well....maybe not lead crystal but I don't intend to drink and eat from disposables when I move, so my crockery is precious to me! Trust me, if I owned that much lead crystal, I wouldn't be wrapping it in other peoples discarded news.
Anyway, I still haven't started packing. But at least I've made a start by collecting said newspapers!
This weekend will be a battle between coursework and packing. Which one do you think I'll choose?

Monday morning. Who likes 'em? Me!
Well, this particular Monday I liked as I had the day off.
Another reason I liked it was I went to see the plans for the new pad/crib/place/abode/digs. Please delete according to age. Ended up in the pub with daughter #1. How did that happen I hear you ask? Well, daughter #1 was with me to see the plans and she had a lot of her own stuff to talk over with me, what better way to do it than over a glass of vino?! The place (on paper) looks great btw! I'm now officially excited! Still haven't started packing yet though. Oops. No official moving date as yet either but if everything stays on schedule, it should be mid/late April. A month away! I better get packing!!

Saturday Nights
Well, here we are. Saturday night, and I'm doing what I should be.
Packing you say?
Well of course not! I have the house to myself as I usually do on a Saturday. (daughter #1 goes to the boyfriend's) So, this particular evening, rather than sit and feel sorry for myself, I cracked open a nice shiraz, poured a glass and packed......
Of course I never!! The shiraz bit is correct, but I kinda lied about the packing, well, not lied as such 'cause I did think about it, but the tunes were switched on and that's as far as it got. At least I thought about it!
So, here I sit with a million things to do and a nice shiraz, well nice for an Australian one anyway. I usually go for Chilean but this one was on offer and who am I to refuse a bargain?!
Well, this week I powered through the coursework. Yay me! Still not caught up but nearly there. Any excuse for not packing eh?!
Oh, big news! As some of you know, there is no man in my life. Just two ex husbands and as I'm fond of telling people, two nice patio's in my garden which I won't be sad to see go. I hate gardening! I digress.
As I'm in a house, I have an attic, loft, room at the top of the house. Whichever you feel comfortable calling it but you get the idea. Well, my loft isn't floored as such but it does have 15 years of accumulated junk as well as humongous arachnids! Not good for an agoraphobe. (gives me the jitters just typing their name) I have no idea what is up there, but it really needs cleared out. and I certainly aint going up. Daughter #1 is the height of nonsense so she's no good either. So, I bit the bullet and called ex husband #2. It was an amicable split so we are still friends. We just haven't spoke in a couple of years. Anyway, I didn't quite call as text. I know! Coward's way out! But instead of texting back, he called me! Eeeek. It was all very pleasant and he's coming up to do the loft thing next Saturday. Wooo! I think! I'll keep you all posted anyway!
Well, time for me to go annoy my FaceBook chums for a while.

We just haven't spoke in a couple of years. Anyway, I didn't quite call as text. I know! Coward's way out! But instead of texting back, he called me! Eeeek. It was all very pleasant and he's coming up to do the loft thing next Saturday. Wooo! I think! I'll keep you all posted anyway!
Well, time for me to go annoy my FaceBook chums for a while.

Re: Relocation, relocation
Does it matter that I'm freaking out about my diploma that can and will(?) be achieved?
Or should I concentrate on the whole shrinking a three bed house into a one bed flat in five weeks take precidence? Argh!! I'm a confirmed procrastinator that has.....DONE NOTHING!
What would you do?
Let's forget that daughter #1 is also moving with me. (scroll back! It's not my fault!) she has ONE room to pack. Her own! I have four rooms to pack, plus an attic that is crawling with 4" arachnids! Did I mention I am arachnaphobic? No? Well, Newsflash!! I can't even look at a picture of one! Sheesh, it took me half an hour to type the kind of phobia I have!! I'm even considering digging up the 2nd ex! 'Cause he was nice! Seriously, I have oodles of personal papers up there and I need them! Well, would you leave personal papers behind for someone to trace you?! Exactly! HELP!!

New Followers
Hello! To all you new folk! (you know who you are, no mentions here. This is MY spotlight!) But thank you! I feel strange. Oh, I think I might feel......loved? Really? Wooooo! Go me! I'm popular! Well, only on the book of face and because I forced you all. But we won't talk about that! I'M LOVED!! (who mentioned blackmail?)
Anyway........the whole move thing I'm all about is on hold. Again! Procrastination is a great thing, don't ya think?
I love it. Apart from when I have deadlines and it's the eleventh hour!
My whole life is an eleventh hour. I'm always chasing my tail! (yes, people have called me a dog) But, I've still not started packing. Am I leaving it too late? Am I hesitant about kicking daughter #1 out onto the street? (please read previous before passing opinion) ARGH!!! My brain is fried!!

College life
I've not been here the last couple of days as I'm trying to get a diploma!
At the moment, this is not happening! Why?
Well, I've been studying Hospitality for the last three years and quite frankly, I'm sick of it. (and it's getting really difficult but we won't mention that as I'm a 'mature' student)
Anyway, I came home today to tell daughter #1 all about my woes and lo & behold, she announced; "I love that subject! I'll help you!" Well, who am I to refuse such a heartfelt plea?! So out came the paperwork.
She was amazing! (Yes daughter #1 you are getting credit) I am just about caught up on all that hard graft that took so much from my 'mature' brain.
My brain now needs alcohol to recover. Oh, was that the sound of chinking glasses?
My cue to leave!

More drunken updates:
It just crossed my mind that son #1 might come visit when I move.
Son #1 moved out when he was 12. His choice I may add. I never stopped any of my kids doing anything they did or didn't want to do.
But, I'm moving down to within a few hundred feet of where son #1 now lives. He now lives with his paternal gran as after he tasted life with dad, he made that choice.
I haven't spoken to him in....oh...a year and a half? His choice again, but we'll see how things pan out when I move to his neck of the woods.I already know that the ex's wife is spooked. That info came from the walking billboard that is daughter #2. Keep up now!
Watch this space!

Update.....
Daughter #1 created her own blog! I am excited about this for a few reasons.
1. She is one funny lady! (Legally a lady thanks to an 18th birthday present).
2. I can keep an eye on her.
3. We are drinking tonight and she probably won't keep it up!
But yeah, follow her if you love my dysfunctional family. 'cause she's funnier than me. Seriously!!

Procrastination
It's Sunday already?! Where did the weekend go??
As you might guess, all my plans to tackle the wardrobe went out the window yesterday.
I blame Facebook. Yes Facebook, it is all your fault! Why are you so addictive?? Do you not know I have 4 to 5 weeks to pack up a 3 bed house and shrink it in to a one bed flat?!
So.....Daughter #2 called yesterday wanting me to go shopping with her. I declined on the grounds I was busy packing (see, Facebook, you're turning me into a liar) Truth be told, I was skint. Zero denaries, missing money, diddly squat dosh, well, you get the picture and who actually likes going shopping in that situation?!She hasn't called me today. Hmm....
My situation didn't last long though as I was paid today. Yay, for student loans! Although I'm sure I won't be saying that when I'm raking it in and need to pay it back. The rate I'm going, my great grandchildren will be paying it back. Anyway, pay day means one thing......drinks! I enjoy a drink now and then in case you didn't know. Can't have much tonight though as I have college tomorrow and a stack of work to catch up on. Damn you Facebook!!
So, I will sign out for now as I believe I hear Daughter #1 pouring a drink!

Relocation, relocation.
So, yesterday was spent in my bed nursing the stinking cold that daughter #1 decided to give me. I was entitled to feel sorry for myself as no-one else would. Anyway, that was a day wasted on the whole house packing thing I've got going on.
Today! Today, I can't seem to get motivated. That should probably worded as 'I can't tear myself away from the computer' Today, I plan on being ruthless with my wardrobe, not literally with the wardrobe, just the contents. I really do need to throw out those clothes that the skinny inside me wants to hang on to. Let's face it, I'm never going to fit into them again and even if I do, they'll probably be fashionable enough for my great grandchildren to wear. I might need to get some grandchildren first though. Anyway, I digress. I'm off to pour a coffee and procrastinate about the above task. ( the wardrobe, not the making of grandchildren)

So, yeah. It's tomorrow right? Good. Daughter #1 is drunk and hung up on Eminem. This is not in anyway a problem except, I'm drunk too! I need '80's cheesy shit. She seems to need.....a human touch? I've told you already I'm not human have I not? Anyway.....Eminem is "beautiful" apparently. I'd rather have some Spandau Ballet to be honest! To be continued......
Sitting having aperitifs with said neurotic daughter.
daughter #2 phoned earlier but I was busy uploading pics on Facebook to actually listen to what she said.
Let me put you in the picture.
Daughter #2 lives with her dad; long story, 'nother blog's worths' anyway. She muttered on and on.....Oh, sorry! Was I talking?
Yeah, anyway, anything I say to daughter #2, she relays back to dad.
Dad and I have...issues, so I'm reluctant to say anything. Ergo, small talk.
The fact she told him I was moving house is indifferent when I wanted it kept quiet.
My daughter is a walking billboard! At least daughter #1 is.....not secretive but, close to me, is a godsend. Even if I'm technically kicking her out from her home.
But that's tomorrow's blog!

Drunken nights
So, here I am. A 23 (going on 46) mum.
I have no kids! I have adults. :/
Not that they all stay with me.
One does. But she's as neurotic as me so I don't think that counts. Call it a merger!
Anyway, that's my introduction. Hola!
Read if you want to but seriously, If I was me? I wouldn't!
