Moany

Life is still a bit uneventful. I’ve been feeling moany and I don’t want to moan on my blog. Should I moan on my blog? Maybe I should. I just hate reading back over moany blog posts; I sound so ungrateful. Well, here’s my life at the moment:

Things I’m unhappy about:

• Ashes to Ashes – It’s over. It won’t be back until next year! Alex and Gene didn’t snog!! I might have to perm my hair in protest. (Actually I probably don’t need to – have you seen what my hair is like if I don’t blow-dry it?!)
• The Godfather – I watched it for the first time last week. I tried my hardest to sit through the whole thing. At one point I thought it must nearly be finished but when I realised there was still over an hour to go, I freaked out and left the room in a furious rage! So unbelievably boring.
• Weather – Last week I thought about getting our garden furniture out. Silly, silly girl. Since then, we’ve had snow and gales. I’m sick of having to wrap up and put wellies on before going outside. I’d like my dog to be able to go outside without getting covered in mud. And I’m sick of being cold!
• Driving – James is going on a night-out tomorrow and I have to drive him there and pick him up later. I’m scared. I’ve driven the route a lot but not on my own. What if it snows like last time?

Things I’m happy about:

• The Apprentice – I love this show. It’s a bit more ‘reality’ than it used to be, and they’ll never surpass the first series (there will never be another Paul), but it’s still an excellent, hilarious show.
• Dexter – This gets better every week and Dexter gets yummier too. It does worry me though, that I can relate to a lot of what he says about not connecting with other humans.
• Bionic Woman – Who knew Michelle Ryan had it in her?! Cheesy girl fighting! I like it.
• Leona Lewis – Her new single, Better in Time, is my favourite from her album.
• British Gas – After a year and a half of complete and utter nonsense, my problem with British Gas has been resolved. They have even removed the balance (over £200!!!!) as a sign of good will. I’m not sure I believe it though and won’t be surprised if we get another final demand through the letterbox.
