...absolutely RAWKS! There...that's my little bit of girl-love for this blog out of the way!

So i'm sitting in my brand spanking new flat with my rooooomie. Picture the scene. It is 2129, RB is sitting on the right side of the room on a chair with her feet on the Poof. RD is sitting on the left side of the room on the couch, with her feet on the table. The lights are dimmed, the TV is off, our curtains are semi closed. No, i'm sorry homies, this is not the start of Rhona's Erotic Stories.... we are both sitting earphones in watching some online television. YES you guessed it...we FINALLY got internet in the flat! So we can finally be anti-social but social a the same time! How awesome! I did fail to mention that we are both drinking flutes of Champagne aswell as it is RD's birthday today. Internet on her birthday...I couldn't have planned it any better, eh! What a good roooomie I am!

So, I've just listened to Britney's new single, 3. Is anyone loving it as much as me? Not so much the lyrics or melody, but the track is pretty addictive and it had my foot pretty much tapping away as soon as it kicked in so that can only be a good thing. But then, now I come to think of it, my foot pretty much taps at anything with a beat (its the musician in me!) so maybe it's not such a good thing afterall!

Ya'll know how I've got a balcony in my flat (is it "in" or "on" my flat? I've just typed, deleted and re-typed about 3 times and I still don't know), well where my chair is on the right side of the room, I have a pretty good view of all the flats across the grass (my block is in a semi circle with grass in the middle) and I can pretty much see right through from one side to the other. Of course, that means they can see us, but hey...we don't think of it that way! We have already made up names for our delightful neighbours and as the days pass you will no doubt hear about them. To be completely honest, I can sort of see how people can become stalkers, or obsessed with their neighbours!

We have two young lads directly across the way whom we have nicknamed Chandler and Bing (yes I know that's not right, but there is a story behind it). Chandler rides he bike home from work and looks to be pretty straight down the line. Bing, on the other hand, looks a bit rougher. He smokes and (shock horror) has had a girl on his balcony! It is quite worrying that I know this. The problem is that when we get back from work, which is usually around the same time, we get in, grab a drink and go and wind down on the balcony....is it really my problem that they tend to be most active when we are out there enjoying the moment?

We also have Screech above us. At the moment he likes the dance version of "Bad Boys" by Alexandra Burke and most nights he can be found prancing around his balcony screeching (yes, I said screeching) at the top of his lungs and might I say, a tad out of tune! We thought that someone had Singstar hooked up to a PA system, but no, he just has an incredible set of lungs. I must correct my technicality here...it is not even Screech's flat...it is his boyfriends. You wonder how I know this? Ha! I must not reveal my sources.

So, I come to the end of my blog. Phew I hear you say? Don't worry, i'll be back with another instalment soon. If you're lucky, I'll introduce you to Mr and Mrs Clause and their Elf-child.

Rhona out.

Howdy

Unfortunately I think this is going to mostly be a sad blog, so press the back button now if you don't want to hear about it (though it's me we're talking about so there's likely to be funny shenanigans too).

My beloved fat cat, Misty Moments is not very well (see previous blog for backstory on Misty). She's not been eating properly for a few weeks now and last night she was really poorly. I'm hoping she'll perk up, but outlook is a bit bleak just now.

I'm having the week from hell. Monday was alright, albeit a wee awkward morning due to reasons I shall NEVER tell you all, but on the whole ok.

Tuesday. Well, not a great start to the day, whilst trying to pick my keys up from the ground, I whacked my head full pelt off the car door. One of those cracks that makes you feel sick and there's a brief blackness behind your eyes. I am not too proud to say that there were tears. Got to work and found I was feeling a bit nauseous and quite sleepy. Joked about having concussion, but didn't really think I did. Then I had a nasty nosebleed, out of nowhere! Now, if you know me, you'll know that I am prone to them, but not like this! That was enough for me to phone NHS24, where a doc advised me that she thought I had mild concussion. She told me that someone was to wake me through the night to make sure I was awake. That would've been no problem had someone been in my house - apart from my fat cat who, lets face it, is in no condition to wake me, and i'm not entirely sure that she knows what to do in an emergency!

Luckily, my amazing besty friends came in handy and one contacted me just after midnight and my twinny contacted me around 3ish. Not entirely sure what they would've done had I not answered, but hey...it's the thought that counts!

Wednesday - still a little concussed, however more sleepy from a broken up sleep. More worrying about the cat ensued. She wouldn't let me out of her sight last night, which turned into hogging my bed all night, so another night of broken sleep caused by awkward sleeping positions around my cat and making sure that every movement she made wasn't her last.

So we get to today; Thursday. My mornings are a bit random this week because of looking after the cat and making sure she's ok and today was no exception. As I was reaching over the toilet to grab my stuff from the window sill, my phone slipped out of my hand and there was a huge "plop" as it went crashing into the toilet. Grrr! So I had to fish it out, then try to retrieve my sim and memory card so as to not lose my info. I am using an old phone today and have since found out that all my numbers must have been saved to my phone memory and I have lost some important contacts! Lets hope I can suck up to the Orange representative when I phone up to request a new one!

Right going to go do some work.

OK folks, lets get some positivity flowing! Here comes a good one!

So my friend Screamer and I (don't ask why she's called screamer!) decided that we would look for a flat together. In a purely platonic-we-both-want-out-of-our-respective-towns kind of way. The first flat we looked at was PERFECT. 4th floor, brand new development, right next to a gym and shops, private balcony. It was just right...so we put in an application for it and we got it approved!! We are moving on 2 October and I am soooo excited! Finally my luck seems to be changing!

It has put me in a permanent great mood! People are starting to wonder if i've lost my mind! For example, last night I was sorting some stuff out in my house and had my ipod on. A song came on by (dare I say it) Jonas Brothers(!) which I couldn't help but bop along to. Turns out the more the song went on the more enthusiastic I got until I straight out dancing like a crazy person, hair flying everywhere, arms flaying around like I was swatting loads of flies away and i'm pretty sure there was a little bit of Elvis stylee hip and pelvis thrusts for good measure. Man I felt so invigorated!! It was a good thing that no one saw this sign of craziness as there was no music that they could hear so it would've just looked as though I had lost my mind. Ah well, a little bit of randomness makes the world go round!

Awww how bout them little lion cubs at London Zoo....they are soo adorable! I love watching Lionman on TV. Lions and tigers are so cute - and so misunderstood. All they want is a little loving - there's not enough of that in the world.

Free hug anyone?
