Feb 9th 2006 What the most annoying thing?

My crazy nana doing the most stupid things!! Ok this post will possibly be the biggest rant i've ever made on my blog because its really annoying me. Sure you guys are lucky you dont have to live with her, Me and joe live with her everyday and at time you just want to tell her to shut up and leave you alone ok so lets gets started.

We will start with this morning.. pretty normal morning.. I get up have a shower get ready for college stroll downstairs and wait till 7.30am for gdad to take me to the bus stop. But this morning nana decided to actaully wake up and randomly put a flease in the washer on its own, but she sits and watches it o.O as its getting ready (warming water ect).. okkk.. she then says "oh that hasn't got enough water in it to wash it.. ok WTF its a washer machine NORMALLY you leave these things to get on with the job, but nana doesnt. She got a 1 pint milk bottle and filled it up with water and put it in it :| riiiiiiiiight 4 pints later she said that suds was apearing and left it alone… jesus.

But wait it don't stop there! We had 3 days of random power cuts ok.. so whats the first thing they blame for the power cut… a daily power surge.. yeah as if THATS gonna happen! The next night it went off again.. errr and they said it was the power being changed over :S WTF!! and then for the 3rd night they blamed the dishwasher…errm the dishwasher wasn't on.. so in conclusion they blamed me and Joes PC's because they was using too much power… Riiiight and our PC's have been on for months without any problems now they are suddenly cuting off then electric.. GET A LIFE.

The water softener oh this one has to be the best… the water softener went wrong so they had to have it fixed.. no biggy. But the bloke said that all that time they have had the water softener on its never actaully been used! LMAO the tap was turned on so everyone had been drinking hard water.. (like normal people) the bloke turned the tap off so the water is now actaully being softened.. She has convinced herself that the water isnt being softened (Oh nana knows better then the repair man!) to prove this in the most stupid way she has put some paper into the softener to see if the water is dropping.. but errm the machine auto tops the water up anyways so how is that paper gonna prove anything? GOD SAVE ME!!!

So there is my living hell at home all this "trouble" as you can put it is really getting me down and I am really missing my parents im actaully getting home sick (after living here for nearly a year) Shelly is the only thing keeping me happy right now and seeing her daily is really good! Valintines is comming up so I need to get that sorted (theres always something!) College sucks well not exactly sucks but its just key skills and uses of IT suck! I'm really bored now I still got alot of IVA to do I thank them testers who submitted there surveys!

Feb 1st 2006 Reflecting on January

January.. January…. January well its been a interesting month I guess you could say, like mum coming over for a week at the start of the month and then me and shelly getting together (and still together). Life at home is abit annoying right now I think nana is lossing it now… Obsessive cleaning, asking wierd questions and other rather odd activities. The only thing keeping me happy (and sane?) is college and thats not all that good right now.

Picture of me and my mum together

Me n Mum

I do try hard at college I have made some decent friends and im well known with about of nicknames too which i find is good. I not really talking to chaz on the bus right now not after friday…. or was it monday night where he took the piss out of me and shelly said stuff about her too, sure he said he was messing about but I took offense exspecially when he burped and blew it in my face, sure you all might find that funny, but I found it very rude.

Slightly pissed off at eBay too well not exactly eBay but a bloke who sold me something on eBay. I bought a badge for the boot on my car because the other got nicked well the post came today, I got the post before grentz because they moan wenever I get anything so I hid it up and opened it…great they sent the wrong one, angry email sent urgh. Well thats slightly offtopic but who cares. I'd say january has been a good month overall.
