I haven't updated this in a month.
That's awful. But honestly i've just had nothing to say. I've been job hunting and thats about it. Nothing remotely interesting has happened in my life.
Okay so what HAS happened even if it's not very interesting:
Went to my mums and did the xmas visit. Kinda. Saw the family anyway. Spent too much money on buying my sister pet food to get her over the winter. (We're going to be having words about that when xmas is over. She should NOT have pets if money is that tight.) Bought Ali a new game for her xmas pressie. Gave Mum some money for herself and Oliver (nephew) so that she can buy them stuff in the sales. (Wasn't giving cash to my sister...I don't trust her not to spend it on something random. Especially considering she spent an hour moaning about how money was so tight and then Barry walks in with a crate of Strongbow under his arm. Yeah, no. No cash for her.) Popped in on my Grandad as a surprise. Think I nearly gave him a heartattack when I showed up on his doorstep. Fixed his Kindle (which is a great little thing btw! Never played with one before that.) and did other techy things for him but mostly just realised how much i'd missed him lately. It was nice.
What else...
Oh! Hospital appointment. Went well. I do still have stones so I am getting the op to remove my gall bladder sometime in the new year. Hopefully before the end of Jan. But the Doc said it could take up to 8 weeks to get an appointment so who really knows. Am quite happy about that to be honest. I just want this whole thing over with.
And...thats about it really. Nothing exciting going on here. Hope everyones having a good holiday season :) I'll try to update more regularly. I miss you guys, but I don't want to bore you shitless with the same old, same old you know? Hopefully soon i'll have something to talk about that isn't job hunting or housework or hospitals.

Yep - quiet one at home with the male. Should be very nice. What about you sweetie? Home??
Telly wise - Doctor Who xmas special is soooooon! Other than that we've been powering through Fringe. Want to start on Once Upon A Time and American Horror Story too. I've heard good things!
OMG I HATE IT SO MUCH! HAAAAATE! Why would they do this?

1. Where are my userpics? Where is my "drop down list of icons"? I do NOT want to see my default icon staring me in the face like that. That's why I have so many!
2. Why are my userpics a set of thumbnails I have to fight through? In added order? NOT HELPFUL. Where is my alphabetical list? There is a REASON why all the CSI ones start CSI_descriptor and all the avatars start AVATAR_descriptor.
2. Why can't I read anyone else's comments while I'm writing my own? I like to know what others have written while I'm composing my own genius

I'm sorry your sister is failing with money, thankfully my brother seems to be relatively good with his finances, (and he's only 15 and living off my parents anywho so I wouldn't be first port of call). And I agree with the pets thing - and it annoys me when people have no money but have iPhones and full Sky packages...
Glad you got to see your Grandad, my Nan is coming for Christmas so my Mum keeps getting stressed that the house is a mess.
*Huggles* I hope your operation goes well when you have it done, (if I fail to get on LJ between now and then), and hope you have a great Christmas and eat/drink/be merry/watch Doctor Who. :D
