Cheating

I got quite offended at lunch today, because I was told that everyone is capable of cheating and I don't believe that. I have NEVER cheated on anyone, and I know that might not seem like a great effort considering I'm only 22, but when I met Jamie I was in a relationship that was meaningless and I really wanted Jamie, but I stood by my principles and didn't touch him until I'd broken up with my ex. And I love my boyfriend more than anything in life, I can't see my life without him and when you love someone, you don't cheat! Well actually, if I in the unlikely scenario would stop loving him, I would still never cheat because it's mean! If a relationship is so bad that you feel like the only way you will feel better is by sleeping with someone else, break up, get a divorce or whatever. Or talk about it. Talking and honesty takes you a long way, trust me.

Btw, everyone who's reading this and have at some point cheated on someone, I am not having a go at you, I understand that there are reasons for everyone, even though I might not understand them. And I think a lot of people that have cheated regretted it (because I don't believe in "once a cheater never a cheater"). All I'm trying to say is that I don't believe that everyone is capable of cheating.

Overdraft charges

Got a sudden urge for baking at work today, so all evening I've been baking "lussekatter" and now I'm onto Chocolate Truffles, but bloody hell, they are messy to make! Have put it in the freezer for a while, hoping it will get a bit firmer before I start rolling them.

Had a bit of a weird day at work today, but hopefully it will be better tomorrow. And it wasn't exactly a bad day, just not as good as it normally is.

All this malarkey about bank charges, I think it's right for the bank to charge if you go overdrawn, but it should be a limit of £10 or something. Because the thing is, if there was no charge for that, it would mean that they would have to charge for every single account like monthly or when you open it, and that's really unfair for us people who don't go overdrawn. So stop moaning people.

Boxing

Went to Ida's after work, had some nice dinner and then we did some massaging to pamper ourselves, very nice! Went home and did some boxing on the wii fit, got stuff. It's so tiring!

I'm completely convinced that something has happened Mr Ockley, I haven't seen him for a week now so something isn't right. Feel a bit sorry for him to be honest...

Only 1 month left until xmas! Wooooho!


Bad night sleep

I don't have a clue why, but I slept so badly last night. And I think Jamie did as well, he was moving around all the time. I woke up surely 15 times! But have managed the day and even done 30 mins cardio when I got home.

Really don't have more to say today. I'm just too tired.

Big moving day

Firstly - Yes Linda, jab means vaccination :)

Nice evening last night, and woke up extremely thirsty this morning, definitely blaming KFC for that. But ooohh it was nice. Went to Iain and Gemma's this morning about 10 and were gonna help them move, but they were actually pretty much done when we got there. I was mainly just in the way and the only way I helped was by painting the bathroom ceiling - with a brush! Seriously, ever heard of a roller instead? Would have been a lot quicker and would look better as well I think!

Have spent the evening cleaning the bathroom, ironing, cleaning out the wardrobe and now waiting for the washing to finish. Great evening. Now waiting for xfactor - the results show. Go Danyl and Olly!


Dogs

I don't like dogs. I think they smell, are badly behaved and always want to sniff/lick/jump on me. I'm actually quite scared of dogs. I mean sure, puppies are cute but they grow up eventually. And all dogs seem to smell my fear, they always want to come to me for some reason and annoy me. And I always do my best to get rid of them but nothing seems to work! Help?!
And as icing on the cake (is that the correct expression?), just spoke to my sisters boyfriend and he said that they're thinking about getting a dog. Sorry Maria, but I will never visit you again!

Last night was nice, Milla was really drunk which was quite funny! And Jamie was a big girl, drinking amaretto. Went to Swedish School this morning, or I dropped Jamie off rather while I went shopping at Tesco's. Almost reversed over a man, but otherwise it went well. Apart from that we've spent the afternoon at home, on the sofa or in bed. Nice! Done some washing and Jamie has hoovered, otherwise we've just been lazy. Love it.

Will get ready to go to Stew and Liz's in about 1,5h. And prepare for moving tomorrow. Not looking forward to that. Have a good evening!

5 Things you should not talk about at the lunch table

1. Your period. No one wants to hear about it, and quite frankly, I would never want to talk about it to anyone! So I'm expecting people to never talk about it to me.
2. Body hair. Ok, legs are ok, but not bikini line and armpits. Yuck.
3. Childbirth. I don't want to know about childbirth until it's time to give birth.
4. What my lunch will do to me. Everyone knows what baked beans does, and don't tell me what by pee is gonna smell like when I eat asparagus.
5. Kids illnesses. I don't want to hear about snot and sick when I eat soup. Or anything else.

On more important notes - something has happened to Mr Ockley! He hasn't been there all week! At least not the three days I've been driving to work.

Weekend now, whoop whoop! Going to the pub tonight, should be nice.

 

Ps. It's amazing how many people that get symptoms after the swine flu jab. Even more amazing that it's only the people who say: Ohh I wonder how poorly I'll get after the jab.


I had so much...

... to say earlier. I was sitting in my car on the way home and came up with loads of things to tell you guys about, and now I've completely forgotten everything. I'm a great writer, really. Just have a memory like a goldfish.

I was actually really busy at work today, which was sooo nice! The day went really quick and I got a lot done. Me like. But Kaisa is in Finland over the weekend, and as much as I like the boys in my team, it's just not the same. My favourite time is the first half hour in the morning when it's just the two of us (like... 3 more people in the whole office) and we just sit and enjoy the silence and sipping tea or talk about girly stuff. But the other 7,5 hours are alright as well!

So, weekend tomorrow. Have so far only been at work one day this week! Tomorrow night we're off to the pub with Milla and some people (Scotty the Hottie probably), Saturday is Swedish School for Jamie and I have to do our weekly shop. In the evening we're going to Stew and Liz and having KFC and xfactor drinking game that we made up. And Sunday, the most fun of them all, we are gonna help Iain and Gemma to pack, and if you have kids, you know how much stuff there is in their house. But it should be ok, can count that as my daily excercise!

Talking about excercise, did some yoga earlier. I'm getting more motivated to do some Wii Fit/Wii Fitness/Wii sports. Because it's too dark to run when I get home and I don't want to sign up to the gym again. And the Wii is perfect, apart from that our coffee table is a bit too big.

Whatever I've written, nothing that I had in mind appeared. I'm quite good at rambling...! Have a good evening everyone.

I've been naughty...

As I've been ill, I decided to have a few chocolates yesterday from our massive box of Celebrations. Well, BAD MALIN, BAD BAD BAD! Because, I got home from work today and had a couple more. BAD! I knew this was gonna happen! Now it's time to be tough again. I'm gonna put the box away so they can not be seen. There, done.

Soooo today, back at work. Was there until 8.40 and then some of us went to our Warehouse that was about 2 hours away from the office to see how things work there. Was quite interesting, but bloody freezing! Got back to the office just after 3 and left about an hour later. Good day. Can't believe I'm so tired by basically spending a day in a car!

Now all together people... NO MORE SWEETS MALIN! (at least I've stayed of cakes...!)

Loooong sleep

Woke up by my alarm at 6.13, stomach really sore still so decided to stay home. Went back to sleep, woke up 7.30 when Jamie got up and was awake for about 1,5h and went back to sleep. Woke up after 12 by Jamie calling! Can't remember last time I slept like that, but it was very nice! Really hoping that I'm gonna be well enough for work tomorrow, getting so bored at home. Will try to do some studying in the afternoon at least....!

Was gonna give blood in Friday but all appointments were fully booked so need to go at some other time. Shame!

Studying. Yes. I'm so up for it!

All day in bed

I have spent all day in bed watching tv, writing xmas cards and feeling sorry for myself. And the worst thing is - my stomach feels no better! This is the weirdest stomach bug I've ever had.

So bored. Want Jamie to come home now and feel sorry for me so I don't have to :p

Hangover from hell

Went out for a few drinks yesterday (yes, I had 3 glasses of wine and 1 beer) and I got incredibly drunk. Stuuupid. Because I woke up with the worst hangover ever this morning and wanted to die. And all I could look forward to was half a day with 2 kids under 5 years old. To be fair, Finley was an angel, he's so easy he will just sit and play by himself and we pretended that he was asleep so I had to wake him all the time (weird game but hey, whatever makes him happy!)

Went to see Ida in the afternoon, always nice to have long chats with her! I would really be lonely here if I didn't have her (no offence Jamie but you're not always great at girl talk)...!

Have just eaten some chicken salad with far too much red onion in it. So guys at work, I apologise if I stink tomorrow!

Almost time for the xfactor.. WOHO!

Friday 13th

I believe in Friday 13th. I always get a bit nervous, always drive a bit slower. And too right! Yesterday there was one car accident on the way to work, one on the way home (I even had to call the police) and my car almost got stuck on the A24 because it was flooded!

Flooded yeah, it's a storm here! Were in Brighton earlier, the car was shaking when we were standing still! Have pretty much finished my xmas shopping as well, have never been so well organised I don't think! Baking some christmas bread as well, only because I wanted fresh bread. And it smells lovely! Want some now....

Going to the pub tonight, really don't feel like it but I might feel different after a couple of drinks. It's just the kind of weather where you want to snuggle up on the sofa and watch the x factor.


Have a good weekend all!

Coffee accident

Quite a calm day at work today, found out that one of my colleagues is leaving in the new year, shame! Had a bit of an accident including Kaisa and coffee, the mug had a collision with my back and it ended up with a big stain. But I forgive Kaisa, I did loose (and find) her tape, so we're even.

Mr Ockley was looking at the planes taking off from Gatwick this morning. Maybe he's a plane spotter, like a train spotter?! Will pay more attention to that.

Made something called Spicy Chicken Salad for dinner, had 1 chilli in it. My lips are burning. It will not be my lunch for tomorrow!

Will have a bath and go to bed early. Started to get a cold, with a bit of luck the chilli and the bath will help!

I survived

Went to London today, had half a day at work as Linda and Lisa were in town. Nice! Survived going on the tube on my own as well, even though Linda had to lead the way everywhere else. Had lunch at the weirdest Fish & Chips "restaurant" ever, according to the Swedish guide book it was the best one. I had a beef and onion pie instead, not too keen on the fish!

Mr Ockley was there today as well, so it's not because of the sunrise, because it was the thickest fog ever today! Sorry Sara!

It's Stew's leaving dinner tonight, we should be in Horsham by now but Jamie isn't even home yet. So, sorry Stew that we're late!


I've been good

Sara has a theory - Mr Ockley is looking at the sunset. Hmm. Could be. But there is no sun at this time! Well done though Sara! Today he looked onto the road though, which confused me a bit.

I am slightly annoyed. I haven't eaten any cakes/biscuits/sweets/crisps/chocolates and pretty much just eaten vegetables for the last 3 weeks, I'm hoping to reach my 50-51 kg goal but not a lot seem to happen (weigh about 54 now)! It goes extremely slow anyway. Any tips?! The lowest I was for a long time was 51.3kg, last summer, when I was so unhappy because I lost my job and couldn't find any work and had nothing to do, so maybe I'm not meant to weigh less unless I'm unhappy...!

Was gonna do some excercise when I got home today, but for some reason my back is weird. It was my knee earlier today, now it's my back. Am I getting old?! How tragic that would be....

Milla is coming around tonight, haven't seen her for ages so that will be nice! Will try to do some situps etc now anyway and hope that it'll be alright! ohh, and I have tomorrow afternoon off because Linda is coming to London! Whoop!

The link

I think the link through my blog will be about the man in Ockley. He will be the main character. For you who don't know who he is (well, to be fair, I don't know but I'm fascinated by him!), every day when I drive to work this old man with long hair and baseball cap stands in the exact same spot, looking at the exact same place. I'd like to think he's a ghost or an angel, but last week he was holding a plastic bag in his hand. Would a ghost/angel to that? One day I will be brave enough to stop and ask him what he looks at every day at 6.55 am.

Anyhow. Another day at work done, went alright. Got to speak to my favourite Norwegian, I think we're bonding. Going to Jamie's parents to have dinner and spend some time with his sister Iona as she goes back to Dubai tomorrow.

Apart from that, to follow on from last night, I don't mind that Lucie got voted off. She pissed me off by trying to be like Stacey. Don't misunderstand me though, I still can't stand the ugly twins.

Now I will do some excercise and watch Neighbours. Crazy times.

Starting again

I have decided to give my blog a try again, I used to write a lot on here! Not of much meaning, but still a lot. And yes, I have also decided to write in English as I have quite a few English friends here in the country (yes, I still live in the adorable U.K)....

Only problem is, I don't have a very exciting life. I get up just after 6am in the morning to go to work. Arrive at work 7.30, do 8 hours work and drive home, arrive home at 5, probably doing some cleaning/cooking/washing up and normally tend to watch Neighbours. I know, it's so sad. And the saddest part is, I go to bed like... 10pm at the latest. But I will try to write some more exciting stuff!

At least I have good friends to spend my weekends with (and too be fair, I enjoy every second Jamie and I spend at home in the weeks so I'm not too bothered!). My favourite moments are when Stew calls me a nazi collaborator and Iain calls me Sven. You can't have everything in life!

Anyhow, enough about that. It was Steve's 60th birthday party last night (Jamie's dad), I was doing the bar. I.e. pouring drinks into glasses, felt very important! Had some people from Scotland visiting as well which was very nice!

Will get ready to watch the xfactor now, go Danyl! Or Olly.... Either of them is fine!

Adios amigos.
