Ahhhhhhh the last few days of the sale!!!!!

OMG, just sneaking a quick 5mins from the mad house that once was a shop. My lovely little gift shop that used to be the pride of Blaby is now resembling an indoor car boot sale.

I've got boxes of stock stacked in every spare corner, dayglo signs everywhere and still I'm getting asked if were closing down!!!! is everyone blind round here.

Well thats its, I'm being called again and I can guarantee that its for something like " you know these candles that were £19.99 and now £6 a customer wants to know if she can have one for £3"...WTF, are they having a laugh, I'd rather give it to charity than just give it away.

Must dash

DOCTOR DEE CLUTTER TO THE RESCUE

With just over a week to go before moving to my cabin in Wales I am walking around with that lingering feeling of ‘what if I forget to do something’ syndrome. I can’t remember the last time I had a full night’s sleep and the fridge has more ready meals in it than the single guy who lives next door. Today I have decided that I am going to take control of my life and organise this transition so it runs smoothly with minimum aggravation, demons of ‘House Move’ be gone!!!!

I don’t actually know how half of this stuff got into the house, everything was so minimal when I moved in, I could breath. Over the years the rooms have gradually become smaller and smaller, some of the clutter I’ve won from the numerous pub raffles supporting the local Morris Dancer’s and Farmer’s Union. The rest of it has filtered it’s way in from several Birthday’s, Christmas’s, so called eBay bargains, car-boots, family inheritances, BOGOF offers and all the things I have collected since the year dot ranging from my favourite teddy that has no eyes to my school report’s stating that I was inattentive in class. Why am I keeping these things??!!

This is my advice, divide everything into three categories:-

a) To be thrown

b) To be kept

c) To come to terms with or needs a good reason.

Category A – To Be Thrown - This covers items such as, I’m sure this is not mine, why do I need to keep something which is derogatory to me, I must have been drunk when I bought this and unwanted presents from people you don’t really know but it’s the thought that counts.

Category B – To Be Kept - I must be strict with this and make sure I only take what I need, it’s a new home and therefore new beginnings, the only allowance here will have to be unwanted items that I need to retrieve from the drawer quickly when the family come round for tea.

Category C - To come to Terms with / Need a Good Reason - This covers items such as, sentimental letters and cards from ex partners that I now can’t stand but I do like a good read when it’s about me. Gold Jewellery, which I couldn’t possible throw because it’s worth something even though I’m never going to wear it and it’s lived in a box for the last decade. Royal Dolton China that’s been stored away in the garage because it’s doesn’t tie in with my tastes but was my grandmother’s favourite on a Sunday.

Category A and B are quite straight forward regarding packing, as for Category C give yourself a time limit of 24 hours then make the decision whether they need to go into Category A or B. If you are having difficulty deciding then a list of the following excuses may help sort out some of those difficult items.

a) I’m a little short on cash so Ebaying it will contribute to my future well-being.

b) I don’t need to keep these; I have a strong self esteem.

c) I’d rather it was put to good use.

d) Knowing that someone is getting great pleasure from this is very rewarding.

e) These were made just for you.

f) I can always buy a new one if I really need it.

I know if I can get through the above the rest of my move will be an absolute breeze, just need to make a couple of calls to the utilities disconnecting my supplies, get my mail redirected and notify the TV licensing of my change of address. For the first time in ages I feel I’m in control of my stuff; it’s no longer in control of me. Tonight I am looking forward to a good night’s sleep, can’t wait for the lights out and pull the duvet over…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

RockShow! Led Zeppelin Rock and Roll

Ok figured out how to get video on here now..hahaha..now you get to see all my hours of holiday footage, you know like that really boring friend you've got, the one you try to avoid when they've been away cos you just know that they've got hours of un edited crap to show you..

No not really, only joking, but have some entertainment while you read the next post.

I didnt, Get Led Zeppelin Tickets

I'm currently crying into my imaginary beer, it would be real but I'm at work and things aren't quite that bad yet. ha but I'm only here for 9 more days.


I've been a Led Zep fan since a cool builder gave me two of his old vinyls as a birthday present, I was a reclusive teenager at the time and he was building an extension at my parents house and heard the usual heavy s***e banging out of a teenagers room, he thought I might like them so gave me a couple of originals. Cooool


Anyway on hearing about the Ahmet Ertegun tribute I was excited to say the least, being too young to see them in their heyday here was my chance!!! I proceed to spend the next 3 hours (and yes I was at work) trying to register on the website. You know when the big promotion Gods decide to do something like this does know body stop to consider the shear volume of traffic there going to get to their site and actually upgrade the server/ bandwidth etc in anticipation, come on!!!! this band are one of only 4 to have sold more than 100 million albums in the US, the other three being Elvis, the Beatles and Garth Brooks. Did the promoters not think that there might just a little bit of interest...Duh.. So I eventually register..then you wait.

Tick tock, tick tock, day after day you wait, until the 1st of October when in your inbox arrives.......NOTHING!!!! Crying in my beer again now hang on a mo.....ok so I wasn't lucky this time and the rumour is that they may tour next year so fingers x I'm in the same country at the same time as them.

In the meantime I hope all the fans that got tickets have an absolutely fantastic time and to all the people that simply registered, were lucky enough to get tickets and are now trying to sell them on Ebay, I hope that you are all as disappointed one day, as you have surely taken the place of a genuine fan that day and all for your own selfish monetary gains. What goes around comes around you know and we will get our revenge.

Oh and for anyone daft enough to buy from these people be warned, theres going to be a whole heap of passwords/ security questions ans ID required before your even aloud to pick up the tickets in person, yes thats right in person with ID proof


For those of us that wont be going here a little video taster.
