Hello everyone!

very sad day in NZ today, it has just been announced as breaking news that the miners stuck in the Pike River mine on the west coast of the south island of NZ has just had another explosion in the mine, and they have said that there is no chance of anyone surviving the second blast. 29 men were in there, one was only 17. a very sad day today
Sorry to hear :(

I've been so busy! Haven't been around here for long! Been so busy with work! Had an event, was sick & did a root canal! haha had a really big week! So glad it's Thursday tomorrow! :D

Awful news :( Have there been more than one mine accident recently--I mean with a different mine altogether or has all the news I've heard just been about this one mine? I can't imagine how awful it would be to be trapped like that.
yes Aster and her 'racoon eyes' made me laugh too! bless her! it was such a good episode! and i love julia styles anyways so i was happy she was in the cast - but i really like her character :)

Hey ladies,

Been AWOL for a while. Been tired and grumpy and frustrated and worrying and ughhhh.

Mom is still really unwell. She had her scan yesterday, they said she has two fibroids, one on the front and one on the back. Was just an external and internal ultrasound but apparently it can't tell if it's definitely prolapsed unless they get in there and look, they can just go off of what the doctor "feels" while pressing around. So now she has to make another appt with our GP to see what the next stage is. My Mom has gotten herself onto a forum for women who are going through similar things. Turns out there is one lady on there who went to her doctor about this last December and only JUST had her hysterectomy this month. That's an 11 month wait! Apparently though, all of these women are still able to go to work and function relatively normal from day-to-day while waiting. My mom can't. She hasn't been at work for weeks, still hurts her to get out of bed and what not. Getting really fed up of this - the doctors better do something soon or I'm gonna flip.

We're hoping to get a loan through this week or next. We desperately need some financial help for Christmas and just general things needed for the house. (A fridge - yep, we don't have one at the moment, a new dining table so we could actually eat Christmas dinner together, car insurance, car repairs and presents.) I wish it were just possible to wake up and everything be fine all at once.

On top of that my "best friend" and I aren't talking. We haven't spoken since Saturday. I'm utterly annoyed with her and her behaviour and I feel like it shouldn't be me who has to apologise for yelling at her for her actions which upset me, etc.

I feel like everything just sucks all at once. I mean seriously, at what point do I get a break? I'm so tired and not sleeping well at all. Complete mental exhaustion from worrying and thinking etc.

I'm *hoping* to treat myself to 7 polishes from the China Glaze "Tis The Season" collection. I don't have many polishes and I'm loving some of the colours. (Sugar Plums, Mommy Kissing Santa, Jolly Holly, Peach On Earth, Little Drummer Boy, Cheers To You and Midnight Kiss) I don't really have any colours like these at all so it'll be nice to add to my very, very small (6 or so?) polish collection. I think it'll be about £22 shipped from the US, which isn't bad. Just need the money for it. ;/

I hope all of you are doing well, I'm sorry I haven't been commenting individually on each and every one of your situations. So from what I can remember...

Sally - sorry to hear about the mine explosion, that's awful. My thoughts are with their families.
Lou - I hope your kitty gets better and yay for netbook!
kittykit - Also, I hope Sandy gets better.
MJ - Let me know how HP is. I need to watch all of the movies - I best get to downloading.
Susanne - Enjoy the sauna when you go!
MissQQ - I'm sorry about the building, that must be annoying. Any consolation and I've been hearing trains outside at night (albeit me not knowing where the tracks are near my house!)

Did I miss anyone/anything?

it was the same mine, but there was two explosions, the nation is in shock its quite hard to believe, this is the biggest disaster involving deaths since the Mt Erebus plane crash at antartica in the 1970's.

hello peach!! my thoughts are with you, i hope everything works out for your mum. is there anyway of going to a private practise to speed things up?

Peach i'm sorry that things havent been going so well for you at the moment. i guess the money issue in't helped by the fact your mum hasn't been able to go to work because she is so unwell :( does she get any sick pay at all? and i hope that the dr's hurry up and that she is not left waiting 11 months like other women for the op - not good at all :( and i['m sorry you're having issues with your best friend. what has she done and is she showing any signs of regret about her actions?

Peach, I hope things will go well for you soon. **hugs**

NZsallyb, saw the news... that's really sad :(

Am finally back to the office today. Sandy's getting better after 3 injection and he's still on diet.

It's freezing cold today... winter's here!

^^ Glad that Sandy is better now.

peach, my thoughts are with you and your mum. I hope she can get the appropriate treatment soon.

Thanks ladies, the builders were quiet yesterday and today. I think perhaps the work is almost done as I see that the ground is almost flat now. The tractors are still parked there though. I had Wednesday off (paid leave) and thankfully they weren't doing any works or making any noise so I got some rest. This week is stressful for me and I have to work in the morning on Saturday too. I hope to get my Starbucks dark cherry mocha after that, and also check out Tweezermann. It finally launched at two locations here. I always hear nice things about this tweezer so I want to try it.

There are a number of movies opening this December that I really like to watch, like Rapunzel, Narnia and more.

I'm sorry about your mom, Peach. You guys are in my thoughts also.

I'm going to my sister's today for thanksgiving dinner--it's the first year in a long time that my mom didn't make dinner. She's so glad to have a break. It will just be a small group.. My sister, her husband, my mom, my bf and I. My dad has decided to opt out of thanksgiving this year because he doesn't want to go out. Good grief.

Thanks for the support ladies. It's nice to know I can come somewhere and rant about my problems and people actually listen (or read in this case) and care.

Lou - My Mom does get sick pay but unfortunately all that covers is our rent. That's it, we pretty much have nothing left over afterwards. I really hope this loan comes through.

As for my best friend, heh. We went out on Saturday night and she said some guy that she's "known for years" and has been a "do we don't we" kinda situation was coming out etc. Yet she has never in a couple of years knowing her ever mentioned this guy. So he can't be all that great. I'd be more inclined to have believed her - if she didn't say the same thing about every single guy she ever mentions. So that was fine - I didn't mind him joining us. He brought along his friend who was absolutely frigging trashed out of his face and kept making an idiot/spectacle of himself. Now, maybe some people find that stuff amusing - but personally I don't. I find it ridiculous. Anyway so throughout the whole night she was sitting with this guy she's known and talking to him and laughing at his idiotic friend while I had to sit there completely ignored. Which shse *always* does when there's a "potential" guy around - or as she calls them, "victims".

Anyway so during this time, I'm fed up of sitting there, staring at my phone waiting for ANYONE to text me to give me something to do and I think she noticed and said, "don't worry, they're leaving soon." So I think okay, while I'm being ignored and waiting for them to leave, I'll go have a cigarette. Might as well be ignored having one rather than sitting inside looking around like a lost puppy. Of course, I chose the worst place to sit. All of a sudden some guy jumped up on the table, which made it shake and several drinks fell off the table and all over me. Then him and rougly 9 other guys decide to be pissed off with one another and start fighting, naturally I'm in the way so I got a really hard punch to the back and decided forget it, I'm going back inside.

I got back to the table and my chair is all of a sudden taken up and there are 2 other people around as well. No where for me to sit - so I stood there for a moment thinking one of them would notice and say something - nope. So I went to the table next to it to sit on my own and wait. While waiting though, some really drunk guy decides it'll be fun to pick a chair up and move it even though he can't hold it properly due to all of the alcohol he's consumed, so the chair leg wacked me in the back of the head. At which point I'm so damn annoyed I said fuck this. I got up, told her I was leaving and walked out. She followed me outside (much to my surprise) and when asked what was wrong, I exploded. Telling her I'm so fed up of being ignored any time a guy pays her the smallest amount of attention. That I've had drinks spilled on me, a punch to my back and a chair to my head. What does she say? "You can't bitch, you've done it before too." Which yes, I have *accidentally* ignored her, but she's brought it up to me and I've always corrected it and made sure to include her more. I kind of figured when she noticed I was bored and said they were leaving she'd do the same - but no, she didn't. I also said that she had told me they were leaving and they still haven't and that I can't be bothered wasting my time here to be ignored. She'd said something in reply, I don't remember what and I told her to fuck off.

We'd sent a few texts that night, both bitchy. She tried to tell me that she "NEVER" leaves me out or ignores me. But isn't that what I JUST said she'd done all night? and also what she frequently does? It's almost like she's trying to justify being like that to me. Sorry, no. I don't think so. Maybe I shouldn't have yelled at her or told her to fuck off, but when this happens on a regular basis there is only so much one person can take.

I haven't heard anything from her - I don't usually during the week anyway. She usually only contacts me when it's about going out for drinks, great friend!

In any case, I will apologise after I've received one from her. I feel like I had absolutely every right to be annoyed. If she doesn't apologise - then to be honest, I'm at the point where I really just do not care.



Happy Thanksgiving to you, MJ. Sorry to hear about your Dad, 'tis a bit silly! Lol.

Also Happy Thanksgiving to anyone else celebrating it today. :)

wow i'm sorry peach :( that sounds like the night our from yhell. i'm not a fan of drunken people acting like morons either. some of my friends think it's funny but really it's just stupid and can be dangerous. i think you were right to tell her what you thought of her. and to be honest if she's only the sort of person that wants to hnag out with your when she is drinking then perhaps she's not even worth it at all.

work was kinda manic today. but my hairdresser gave me a lovely gift of the matrix shampoo and conditioner that i use, revlon conditioner and also some argon oil! so sweet! it was a thank you gift for me sorting her boyfriend out with a 3d demo disc that has some film clips on it. it was free for me so i said i wouildnt take money off her and then she did that! a lovely gift indeed! then my order of yankee candles arrived which made me happy... is it sad that material things make me happy??

Peach, sorry to hear that. I used to have stupid friends back in uni days who I were not proud of. When stupid friends were drunk, they did stupid things... they then became 'someone I used to know' instead of 'my friends'.

That's so sweet of your hairdresser! I'm going to have my hair cut after work today :) When my hair is an inch below my jawline, I have to have it cut.

No, it's not sad that material things make you happy *lol* They always make me happy too.

Lou, is the 3D sony tv you are getting NX710 or 810? Previously you recommended and I wanted NX700 I think. I have forgotten which was the model I wanted.

Now I'm thinking of going tv shopping again. I must be one of the annoying customers who go to the shop and ask but not buy.

yes have a good weekend everybody!

the tv we are getting is the nx713 which is the 3d version of the nx703 which is a fabulous tv set! the 803/813 versions have better motionflow as they are 200hz - this means it is a smoother pictures for watching sports. bjut the difference between 100hz and 200hz is very slim to be honest. and dont feel bad for going in and asking! everybody needs to do research before you spend alot of money! some of our customers come in multiple times looking and asking questions! :)

It's finally snowing here!! :) Today's been great. Love my haircut (I'm always a bob cut girl, boring eh?), had a great dinner with hubby, bought some Swarovski pendant beads and bails, made 2 new pendants... now sipping a cup of hot tea, Sandy next to me and 'we are' ready to start studying at 11:53PM!

I hope it will snow more tomorrow! Have a great weekend, everyone :)

Glad you like your haircut kittykit-- a bob can be such a cute look.

Peach, I'm sorry about your friend and that you're having such a rough time in general :( I am having some friend problems as well right now but I think we're both to blame in my case.

I'm proud of myself because I finally caught up to where I should be with my novel. I wrote a lot today. The boyfriend is spending the night but he's been so cool about giving me quiet time to write. Four more days to go until the end! I've decided to put off Harry Potter until I'm done with this project so I can hopefully get more excited for it and treat it as a kind of reward for completing what I started on time.

Thanks for all the support ladies.

We're still not talking and I'm fine with that. :)

I went to the local shelter today to look about adopting a kitten. I know I'm not ridiculously financially stable but I can afford to look after a cat and I feel like it'd be a nice present to one of them to have a home for Christmas (not to mention for myself!) So I'm going back Sunday with the hopes of adopting one. I've found 3 that I'm interested in so I'll just need to narrow it down to 1, but one of them is specifically in my mind so I'm going to look into that one first so long as he's still there. :)

I want a loving/cuddly one. So it'll sit with me and cuddle/play while I'm watching tv or on the laptop. But not really hyper so I'll hear things falling off of shelves or something during the day/night.

Picked out a name, MJ helped me confirm it was a cute one over Twitter! His/her name will be Neko. According to Google translate that means "Cat" in Japanese. Which makes it cute, not generic and unisex. Haha. Yay!

Slightly annoyed at the moment though (it's 3am) and I have an appointment to get my eyes tested at 1:20pm. I fell asleep earlier and woke up and am unable to get back to sleep. I'm sure it won't make too much of a difference but I'd rather they were rested than strained/exhausted during testing. Surely it shouldn't affect the result? My eyes are a little blurry when I first get up so that's one of my main concerns. *Shrug* ! I'm sure I'll be fine, lol.

It's starting to snow here too - YAY! :)

MJ - I think the reward system is a good idea personally. :)

I don't want a 3d tv so I will stick with nx700 or maybe if there is a newer model I'll buy it. Yes Sony tvs are expensive. I'm wondering if I should buy Samsung instead but I prefer the sound quality of Sony.
 

LMD84

Well-known member
yeah the sound quality is much better on the sony ones. i also prefer the picture quality. if you compare a sony and samsung next to each other the samsung colours are amazing bright and vivid, however the sony colours look more true to life which i prefer. also something to bear in mind is that samsungs have quite a high failure rate so it's safe to say the sony would last longer. if you dont fancy the sony do check out panasonic because they have really good tv's too :)

there is lots of snow here today! not cool!
