Arggghhh!!!
What a poo day I have had today.
Earlier this week the small oojamaflip that makes my work PC connect to the work network decided to "expire" itself and quite stroppily told me I had to go and install a new version from the network. A bit darn tricky when the software which lets me access the network no longer works eh???
So a nice chap emails me the files on my other work PC (it's a long story but I work with up to 4 machines all connected to different places) . Yay methinks, problem solved.
NOPE it wasn't not on your nelly. I spent 2 hours last night trying to install and no dice! Do you know how many times I can say the "F" word.............hmm lots.
So after I dropped Alex off this morning I headed to town to my works office to see if I could connect there to download the dratted software. I had less than an hour as I had a doctors appointment.
Well I tried and tried and FAILED, miserably, I packed up my stuff and made it to the doctors just by the skin of my teeth.My doctor was OFF, ILL!!!! Arrggggggghhhh. Luckily I played the chemo card (it doesn't get played very often) and someone else saw me, so that was OK.
So, I decided to leave it a few hours, get on with some work and call the helpdesk.
BIG MISTAKE , HUUUUUGE, the guy was a very nice chap from India but it took him aaaaages to understand what I was saying and what my name was, I almost lost the will to live.............
So the upshot is that my machine still won't connect and I have to sort it out next week and I could weep with frustration.
The clincher is, the guy on the phone gave me a ref number to check on the progress of my call, which is, yup you guessed it, ON THE NETWORK THAT I CAN'T ACCESS RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TA -DAAA!!!
Got me a new blog look - what do you think? I love Zoe Pearn , her designs are gorgeous so I got a blog in a box kit from www.shabbyshoppe.com.
Still got a bit more tinkering to do, but not today.
Had my 6th chemo today, not feeling too bad at the moment, just a bit tired. So I only have 2 more to go, thank goodness!
Laters.......

Russell Brand
I went to see Russell Brand last night, with hubby at the Edinburgh Playhouse. It was one of my Christmas presents from him. He was good, very funny, but his obsession with "getting jiggy with it" has now worn a bit thin.
The place was full of young girls one girl was being a right pain in the bum shouting stuff out all the time, he got to a point where he warned her she was going to get chucked out. He came out into the foyer at the end of the gig which caused a right kerfuffle as it meant a long wait to get out of the theatre. A guy near us with an urgent need to catch a train, and, it seemed, a great liking for the "F" word was kicking off big time!!!
I went to the loo before we left and there were a couple of young girls putting lots of "slap" on, presumably with a view to seeing Russell in the foyer. I was wearing my headscarf and my eyes are sore and puffy from the chemo lately. I looked ancient compared to them and felt really crap, hubby and I left through another door as lots of girls were leaving with autographs on their chests..........................heck I feel like a pensioner......

Idiots Guide to Twitter
I have mentioned Twitter before, but I just wanted to write about it a bit more so that if you know nothing about it you can learn a bit more and perhaps use it as much as I do.
It's a bit tricky trying to describe it but Twitter is also known as "micro blogging", you are only able to post messages which are up to 140 characters long. Twitter can be accessed by certain mobile phones, on your PC at http://www.twitter.com/ or using software on your PC called Tweetdeck. I access it all 3 ways, I have an iPhone and have a free app called Twitterific.
There are quite a few famous bod or "Tweeple" on Twitter, Stephen Fry (who ADORES technology) , Jonathan Ross, Philip Scofield, Chris Moyles, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, John Cleese, Andi Peters, Jenni Falconer and Holly Willoughby to name a few.
To get started log onto http://www.twitter.com/ and choose a username, all usernames are preceded by the "@" sign, I am @sjcurrie. Once you get signed up you can start to post messages and people will start to follow you and you can follow them, once you start following people you will see their messages or "Tweets" and if they follow you, they'll see what you post.
It's really good fun once you get started!! Please feel free to ask me any questions about it, I will help in anyway I can - go Twitter!!!!!

Duracell Bunny
Not sure what's wrong with me this week, I have had this amazing burst of energy for "getting things" done. Alan is like "who are you and what have you done with Sam?"
Saturday I did a mountain of ironing and housework and started sorting out our junk room. In our last house we had 3 cellars and a garage, here we have neither cellars or garage, so although we "de-junked" considerably before the move, we had one room rammed full of junk.
Sunday, I went through Alex's room and de-junked and tidied that - yipeee it looks great!
SO we decided to get the spare bed set up in the junk room, once we found it that is! It's up and there are still lots of things to purge and sort. When I cleared Mum and Dads house I found about 200 packets of photos (no joke!!) I went through many of them a couple of months ago, but just chucked them all in a box in no particular order so yesterday and Sunday was spent going through hundreds and hundreds of photos. We're talking pics from Mum and Dads childhood, army photos , wedding, Marcus and I as kids , house renovations, Alan and I on holidays, and millions of pics of Alex as a baby. Well they are now all sorted and catalogued and I am in the process of filling albums. When I am all done, ALL of our photos will be in Albums in a bookcase - sorted!!
It's been quite a sad experience in some ways going through my childhood photos, seeing pictures of my brother from a baby to a teenager and beyond, remembering our holidays and time spent at home and knowing he is no longer here is very sad. The same is true of Mum and Dad and our family home, they lived there for over 40 years and it was interesting to see how it changed from when they moved in in 1965 up until I sadly had to sell it after they died in 2007.
Seeing all of the holidays reminded me what a brilliant childhood I had. My parents weren't high flyers at all and we did struggle for money in the early days, my Mum stayed at home until I was about 14, and my Dad worked his socks off. We had two or three trips away in our caravan every year and Christmas was always lovely. My Mum was a very careful budgeter (Dad called her Scrooge) but she always make sure we didn't go without even though her and my Dad went without. Gosh this sounds like some Dickensian story of woe doesn't it?? It wasn't, and I am so grateful for all they did for my brother and I.
Back to the de-cluttering, I have also got lots of vinyl LPs and 7" singles, none of them are rare or valuable so I think I might see if a second hand record shop wants to take them off my hands for a small fee. I've got a pile for ebay and one for charity too, so I will be busy.
I also have some craft stuff to get rid of, so when I get a moment, I shall post pics up for you to see.
It's half term this week and Alex has got some sort of temperature /cold thing, so we were confined to barracks yesterday, endless hours of "Scooby - Sodding - Doo" arrgggh and it's the new version too, which STINKS!! Hannah and Barbara will be turning in their graves!
Right back to it, more sorting to do!

Skin of My Teeth
I am a "I have to be there half an hour before time" type of gal for anything..........
So...................................... I got to Manchester airport for my 7:30pm flight tonight at 5:30pm , I check in ON MY OWN WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM MY HUSBAND ACTUALLY!!!! and the check in girl says "oh, actually your flight is delayed until 10:30pm, sorry"
Normally I would have been really stressed about this, but I have a lot of work to do, had a pass for the FlyBe lounge (with FREE WINE by the way!!) so I made my way there settled myself into a desk and started work on my laptop. At this point I was sitting next to a guy who was literally coughing up a lung without covering his mouth and I am hoping I am not going to catch it .
So I casually sauntered over to the departures monitor at about 7:30pm and EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKK OH MY GOD my flight is ready to go LIKE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LAST CALL
The lady in the lounge rang the departure gate and told them I was on my way, she then said "oh God the gate is miles away"
I stuffed my laptop into my bag and ran out, and a bloke who was leaving said " it's your own fault for playing on your laptop" So, I shouted at him " they told me my flight was delayed until 10:30 you ARSEHOLE"
I am sure that he wouldn't have said that if I had been a bloke, actually if I had 2 seconds more I would have punched him, I mean what sort of bloke gets off taunting a complete female stranger for almost missing a flight?
OK , let me just tell you, I DON'T RUN, especially carrying 2 laptops , but I LEGGED it and just made it. I almost had a heart attack, it took me 10 mins to calm down on the plane.
Now home and safe, phew!

Welcome to the Pity Party
Sheeesh, crappy weekend...............
I have had a "why me?"/"it's not fair"/"I look like shit"/"I am fat" totally mad mood swing raging time of it over the last 24 hours. I have wept, shouted, thrown things and generally been a complete cow.
Added to that I have heartburn, flatulence , constipation, raging thirst, and up 4 times a night for a wee/Gaviscon. Call Dynarod!
I hate my effing wig, I hate my bald head and I am indulging in a complete funk.
I know, I KNOW, I KNOW , I am lucky!!!! Physically I have been very very lucky, ditto with the prognosis, I could be in a far, far worse place.................
Still,emotionally, I am struggling a wee bit, thanks Cancer, thanks a lot.........................you suck and I want my normal life back.

Just "stuff"
Last night I went to the first meeting of our Book Club. We read "The Book Thief" which I chose. I quite liked the book, though opinion was slightly divided, since it's not exactly a chuckle a minute being set in Germany in WWII!
Anyway we had a laugh when we weren't being all cerebral about the book n'all. I made cupcakes and no-one died after eating them (bonus!)
Good thing is, I am feeling good again today. The chemo is really being kind to me- hurrah!
Took Alex into school on the bus this morning,thought I would leave the car at home for a chance. So we get on the bus and I put my fiver in the bus ticket machine and the driver said (wait till you hear this!!) "I can't accept that note as I didn't check it first"
AY??? It's 7:45am, the school run, do I look like a master forger to you . I didn't say that but stood there flummoxed, not knowing if I had another fiver in my purse in change, so I said "well can't you just like pretend you checked it ?" He replied, "I have CCTV on this bus, why would I want to do that?"
Have you ever wanted to punch someone for being such an arsey jobsworth? No wonder they sit behind glass!!! So I fed in another 5 quid in assorted change to get our tickets, I should have asked him if he wanted to bite each coin just in case!!!
He wrote me out a "chit" to go and claim the money back, but my parting shot as I went up the stairs in a big voice was "Jesus Wept!!" (Sorry for the blasphemy but I ask you!!).
I spent most of the day dawdling round town, Alan and I are off to a 1920's murder mystery night tomorrow, so I needed to buy a few bits and pieces for our outfits. Alan is Alan Capone and I am Carrie Crooner Capone, I'll be sure to post up some pics of us in our finery.
I went to the National Gallery and saw the Titians , I decided to have lunch £10!!! for half an inch of soup and a tiddly sarnie, OK so the surroundings were nice but I think I have paid my share of the Titian bill ta very muchly!
Finished another mag project for CB this week, I AM doing well for me. My newly tidied craft room is making things a little easier, I am dying to get my hands on some of the new CHA releases once they wing their way across the pond - can't wait!

Tickety Boo
Gosh, this ere new chemo drug ain't half bad ya know. Had a day off from work today so I could lounge about cos I did feel rather tired, but now the steroids have kicked in I feel fine, It's much more manageable than the crap I was taking for the first 4 treatments. So that's me, only 3 more to go.
I am really humbled by the good messages on my blog, on Twitter ( the BBC Technology Correspondent sent me a direct message to wish me luck yesterday!!! I was thrilled), Facebook and email, it's just brill and I thank you all.
For those of you who asked about my magazine holder in my craft room, it was from Matalan a while back. Also let it be said my room isn't always THAT tidy, but since I work here most days and can't abide mess I do my best to keep it tidy as much as I can.
TTFN
p.s we didn't get any real snow up here, a couple of poncey millimetres fell this afternoon, what a dissapointment!

Greyfriars Bobby
Chemo 5 today, and so far so good. I am on a new drug now called CMF (You're Unbelievable) oh no that's EMF , that's a bad joke I know.
Alan has been away in Paris, he was supposed to go via London yesterday morning but it was shut! So he managed to fly from Edinburgh to gay Paree last night and flight back to Heathrow was cancelled tonight, so he just made it home hurrah!!
Father in law and dog have been over to look after me/school run, which has been a great help, the dog came too. Very faithful dog, hence the reference to Greyfriars Bobby.
I went up to bed last night and discovered a wet patch on office floor. It was chucking it down with rain so I looked up thinking there was a leak. Yep there was a leak , from the flippin' dog!! It had piddled on the floor grrrrrrrrr.
Anyway, off to bed now, hoping that I don't get any yuckky side effects, wish me luck!

On the subject of wigs
OK two posts in one day ho ho!!
Last week my blog was a bit on the quiet side as I was away with work, visiting my chums down in Cheshire. I was very well looked after by my BF Janey and her husband who took one look at my bald bonce and started doing impressions of the martians on the Smash advert from waaaayyy back. His new name for me is "Smashy" (cheers Paul!!)
Any - hoo, it was the first time my workmates had seen my wig, now these dudes have known me for years and speak their minds. Consensus seemed to be that my wig was a bit, well ,....."wiggy". I had convinced myself that it looked OK (ish). The "wiggy-ness" was further confirmed by the "is she wearing a wig?" looks I kept getting in the restaurant at work which really started to get on my nerves. I was on the verge of making a big badge which said "yes it's a bloody wig OKAY!!!!!"
Most people up in Edinburgh have been like "Oooohhhh a wig??? You're wearing a wig??NOOOOOO I would never have known" Sheesh, so now I am not sure whether I look like a total joke or reasonably OK, bloody hell..........
The other thing about said wig, is that it has to be washed, it certainly gives new meaning to "I can't come out tonight cos I am washing my hair" when you have a wig to wash, that is actually true! When I bought the wig I also bought some "special" shampoo and conditioner. The conditioner smells a bit familiar, I swear I bought Lenor !!!
I bought a scarf since the wig is now getting me down, I wore it on the drive home from Cheshire ( all 4 hours of it.....) . Now a scarf evokes more looks from people, but they tend to be more "awwwww she's got/had cancer" rather than "you look like a FREAK" so it's great for the sympathy vote. In fact a guy who looked like he was on parole, almost broke his neck opening a door for me....................So now my dilemma every morning is what to wear on my head.
Ah well Chemo numero 5 for me tomorrow, fingers crossed for no horrid side effects, I'll keep you posted.
