Mrs Badcrumble's Diary

...another one of these quickies that doesn't deserve a number.

I was racking my brains thinking what would alister like for his birthday?  It's not til March 24 but there is nothing he needs. Like I say he LIVES for high school musical but I dont want to buy him a load of Disney tat that will never get used.  So I thought i would chance my arm and see if there are any tickets left for the stage show in Edinburgh in February. Quick answer, unless you are booking for 1 person, don't bother.  I came off the phone gutted.  I knew there would be none but still I know he would just love ti.  Then I got to thinking.... even if I got 2 seats together he would want to cuddle up on my knee or would be dancing around.  so i called Ticketmaster back and asked if I could pay for 2 seats but have him on my knee and only actually use 1 of the seats.  They said that was fine!!!

So on Friday 29th Feb at 5pm my boy and I are going to see HSM the stage show.  And i am not going to tell him til we get there!  I dont know how I will keep it in cos he will be sooooo excited but if i tell him he wont sleep til the show is about a week in the past!

Aw, you know what? This does deserve a number.  and Alister Blair, I love you soooooooooo much!!!!!  I would have paid any price to just see the look on your face!  Oh and Fi, if we could possibly stay with you that night???  Show is at 5pm. I am planning to take a half day and come over, give alister a dirty big sandwich or pasta or something then maybe meet you for a bite to eat after it?  Sounds goooooood!!!

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited! 

We're sooooaaaaring, flyyyyyyyying, there's not a star in heaven that we can't reaeeeach!!!
Nighty night!

first off, re: the title of today's blog.  Is it sad that I have a favourite literary device???  Or sadder that it is alliteration??? Answers on a postcard...

So, yes, far be it from me to provide free advertising on here to anyone other than rock bands from Leeds with a damned lovely bassist but I feel the need to big up Bravissimo.  And since they manage to provide gorgeous, sexy, colourful bras that can even hold my ample bosom in place then 'big up' seems an apt phrase indeed.

If any of you are ever stuck for a birthday or christmas present for me then I would be EVER so grateful for Bravissimo.com gift vouchers!  E-vouchers actually, I tend to buy online.  My email is jill_blair@hotmail.com.  Ta very much!  I have just bought 3 beautiful new bras and am excitedly waiting for them to arrive.  The hot pink one is on its way I believe, the other 2, 1 in cornflower and 1 in pale blue, will follow swiftly on when they get a delivery in.  JOY!  They even have swimwear in my size which I plan to treat myself to for going to Lanzarote (19 weeks today!).

So that's my hoorah for big booby companies over.  Thanks for listening.

At the moment my boy is cavorting in the jacuzzi bath.  I washed his hair and the tiny bit of shampoo I used caused a bubble explosion when I turned the jets on. soooo funny!  It's like the Magic Porridge Pot in there!

So we went to the cinema yesterday, saw the Simpsons movie.  it's ok, nothing hilarious.  Then went to the Brewers Fayre where he is having his birthday party and paid the deposit and had some lunch.  I was very restrained and stayed away from the scampi and chips that was screeching my name.  Instead i had a half baguette with ham and mustard and salad and chose to not have chips and coleslaw but just the salad that came with it.  Positively saintly!

Then came home and bought a laptop and a portable DVD from Asda online.  Sick of having to crank up my old desktop and sit in my bedroom at night.  Will get a wireless router from Talk Talk (or actually, would consider moving comms company and getting a free one so if anyone can recommend a decent company for Wireless Broadband and phone then i'd be very interested.  Cheaper the better!) and get that sorted so I can merrily blog from the comfort of my lovely new leather sofa.

Now what else have we been up to... Sunday School today then home for yet more Hgh School Musical.  Alister is really obsessed with it.  He sings the songs in bed before he goes to sleep, he asks if he can watch/listen to the DVD/CD as soon as he gets up. Obsessed.  But it's lovely, it's really captured his imagination and he LOVES performing songs from it for anyone who will listen.  I'll have a rock star son yet!!  I'm sure even the great rockers started off singing bubblegum pop in their bedrooms aged 4!

Right i MUST go and do some ironing.  It's all on my bed and if i dont do some of it I can't go to bed tonight.  Neat trick, eh.  I have been putting off ironing for about...ooo....about 3 months now!  Not sure where I will put it all once it's ironed but hey, that's tomorrow's problem...

Night all, sweet dreams.
