Fake week, the weather, and super heroes

Hello.
Are there any Big Brother watchers here? Did you watch BB on Friday night? OMG! Fake week? Fixed week more like! Oooh don't get me started on that one. I will say though that it's been fun watching the 'inmates' doing absolutely hilarious fake tasks etc...It's probably been the only time in the last few weeks that I've sat and laughed so much at something I've never even been remotely interested in LOL!
Anyway, I have to say that I have an announcement to make. A while ago I tried to give up smoking and it lasted err....a few days I think LOL!
This time it's been (almost - when midnight comes) 16 days and I am so very proud of myself.
I haven't fallen off the wagon once and while it's been hard I have stuck to it this time. I have kept my old tobacco tin full with papers, menthol filters and of course tobacco with me at all times. Every other time that I've tried to give up smoking I've thrown away cigarettes, lighters and even ashtrays but after a few days I always went to the shop and bought more. This time I kept it on me because only I could give up if I really wanted. There was no temptation to pop along to the shops because I already had the things with me. Just because I can, I'm giving myself a huge pat on the back and I invite you to do so too :D

And now to the weather...YUK! What is going on there?
Ok, so you're probably fed up with people moaning about it so I'm not going to be one of those. I've actually come to expect the rain now and actually look confused if I open the curtains and it's NOT raining. well, I mean it is the middle of summer after all....

Jane, if you're reading (and I know at some point you will be) I'm thinking of starting each entry 'dear Jane' because I'm sure you're the only one even remotely interested in my waffling...I guess you'd say 'hey Anna, that's what friends are for'... which reminds me I must go and check out your blog again...I have a link on the right hand side if anyone wants to accompany me to Jane's blog. or simply click here.

Just a run-down on todays events next then:
Woke up to phone call from sister-in-law. Her darling son (aged 21!) had got himself into a predicament namely being invited to a party by some girls (with his friends) and obviously this invitation was too good to resist. At some point during the night he became 'detatched' from his friends and found himself lost and over 7 miles from home, at 3am! Cue the phone call and plea for Uncle Phillip to come to the rescue. Sometimes I think my hubby should start to wear his pants on the outside of his trousers and get changed inside telephone boxes! (From this day forth my hubby shall now be known as Superman)
Next was on to my parents house - much to superman's annoyance. He (tried to) argued that whenever I say we're going to my parents house for an hour it soon turns into several hours and that he gets bored. We went. we arrived at 11am, and left at 3.30pm! OK so superman was close (note to all self respecting women...never say 'right' LOL!) but am I supposed to cram in a few days of chat into an hour? Hmm thought you'd agree with me ;)
Next we came home. I have OCD (which I had been having therapy for but thought I was ok now) and part of that is my absolute NEED to re-arrange furniture on a regular basis. Todays particular urgent need was the whole house bar Daniels' bedroom (only because I'm not brave enough to enter to temple of doom) and the kitchen (only because it's about 1' square or there abouts LOL!) So we have been busy. Yes, I said 'we have'. I'm surely not suppoed to do all the heavy lifting myself? What else are super humans for if not to help out a little? ;)

OK, tongue removed from cheek now. I've got jaw ache from chewing on these Skittles. (sweets, and not another oddity of mine LOL!)
Time to go. I'm logged into msn and my little orange lights are flashing like mad. Don't want my friends to think I'm ignoring them.
Take care everyone (although I'm sure you're the only one that reads these entries Jane)
*hugs*
