  • Fraterday

    Its my hybrid name for what today feels like. Its saturday realy, but i had to get up and be at work for 8:00am (got here at 8:30) as we are bogged down with work and need to get some out the way.

    So i have given this day a new name. Tomorrow isnt going to be much better, as i have work at 7:00pm, till 7:00am monday morning – i just hope i can get a few hours sleep while im there or i aint gonna be a pretty sight first thign monday morning!

    Ant Update – The two guys who were left in my mini big brother house are george and fred. They seem to be working as a team quite well, and have bonded quite well. They started digging down one of the holes i made for them, but seem to be moving at a slow pace. My idea is to let them become comfortable with each other and their surroundings, then chuck 10 very wild, very young ants, and see how they react to the invasion of unknown antlings. 🙂

    Ants rule 🙂

  • Worst Headache Of My Life

    I had forgotten about this, until i started to get another headache about 5 mins ago. I had a headache developing most of the day yesterday, it started off only bothering me when i ran, or increased my heart rate a bit.

    Then after i had been for a steak with my dad after visiting decalthlon, i got home and it started to get worse.. By bed time i could barely see.

    I layed in bed and i was in agony, i couldnt turn a light on, i couldnt lay down, it felt like the pressure was building and building and building.. Like my head was gonna pop!

    I went downstairs to try and find some tablets, with my eyes hardly open, feeling my way down as i couldnt bear the light. I found a pot of paracetamols and pretty mcuh necked 4 of them at once. At that point, i really didnt care what bad affects it had on me (taking 4 at once) i just couldnt bear the pain anymore.

    The next thing i know i woke up – it was morning – and didnt have a headache.

    I hope i never have one like that ever again! 🙁

  • Ants & the A-Team

    Ok, i got home after fetching 3 2-second tents from Decathlon, and i opened my ant farm up straight away. I was very keen to see what happened when i put some ants in it. So i set off into my garden armed with a bit of paper, and a tub to put ants in.

    Well! Ive never known anything be so difficult! Ants do NOT like being caught. And even when u do catch them they run about so fast they escape from even the tallest jars. Eventually i managed to get three in. Yes, only three. And for about the first hour they just tried to escape – one actually managing it, but got picked up by a bit of card and thrown out my window.

    I plugged the hoes in teh top so that they cant escape. There is enough air in the top bit for them to breath for today. Just as i was about to go to sleep last night they had gone down one of the holes i had made for them and had started digging. I think because there is only two its making it difficult for them, so ill try and kidnap more later. I had a bizarre daydream about them coming to rescue these two i have already, and me waking up with a room full of ants and the ant farm on the floor with the lid opened. Ahaha, sweet.

    Ill add a few more in later, i will see if i can find about 10 – but its harder than it seems getting them in and getting them to stay in!

    Did you watch that bring back the A team programme? Wow. David said he wasnt lookin forward to it on his blog, But i totally am! I loved the A team, and if i am being perfectly honest i really didnt think the chap would be as successful as he was. He mainly wanted the juicy details from the remaining members, the truth behind Mr T and Hannabal’s arguments, and why the the number 1 80’s show was brought to an end. He got it, and he got a lot more along the way.

    If its repeated anytime, its deffo worth a watch to see the charectors again, murdock hasnt changed, and is as crazy as he was back then. Face looks like hes taken lot of drugs and had a lot of face lifts haha. And mr t, well, B.A hasnt changed one bit, except hes battled cancer, and found god. He still talks the same tho, and is still a total legend.

    Im supposed to be going to skeg this saturday, and working on the sunday but i dont no whats happening now. I have got like 2 websites to build too. I should really crack on with them..

  • Parcelfarce

    Yes, the typo in the title was deliberate. As i have nearly had parcelforce lose me my ant farm!

    I was at work yesterday, and i was trying to track my parcel – using their online tracking system. But it kept reading that the parcel had been delivered. Well, it haddnt as i didnt have it. So i started ringing round, seeing if parcelforce knew where my parcel was.

    The guy on the phone claimed that the driver thought it had said number 6, and number 6 had been out at the time. So the parcel was at brown av post office, and he had put a card thru the door of number 6.

    Well thats no fucking use to me is it!

    I went to number 6, no card. What? So now i was in a position where all i had was the consignment number and my id, no card. Luckily for me while i was out someone popped round with the card. The husband of the house had seen it and moved it, and i had spoken to the woman of the house you see.

    This means i get my ant farm later! I think im actually gonna send off for some peoper harvester ants as woodhouse ants will just try and steal stuff out my room.

    How the hell will they post me ants tho?
