...hasn't been as bad as expected.

The funeral was ... well, as nice as these things are. Andrew (George's son) did a wonderful speech and didn't shed a single tear. There was a good turn out, not everyone got into the church. This was catered for by using a PA System outseide the church. For me it was just, well, a funeral I guess. I know it sounds awful but for the most of it I felt really uncomfortable. This is due to me not being very religious and spending time in church where hymns are being sung and prayers are being said makes me feel the way I did (doesn't really hold out much hope for me at Em's wedding next year does it, or Sarah's for that matter if she opts for a church). The crem service was very short and sweet, think we were only in there 5 minutes.

Dad is doing well. He had his op this morning and when we got back home at 3.30pm he was in bed sat up. He won't be able to wear his leg for 3-5 weeks (though knowing my dad he'll have it on in 2). They want to change his dressing 2/3 times before he's discharged, so the absolute earliest he'll be out is tomorrow evening. If he's staying in then I'll go on with mum tomorrow evening to visit.

Away from this .. if I get my wage in early (ie on Saturday) then I'm gonna go to Bingo Saturday afternoon in Burnley. Emma at work has shown an interest in going with me, so I've to let her know what I'm going to do. I'm also heading over to Bradford next Saturday, then it's down to London the weekend after so it's kinda all go. Really need to look at the public transport actually for when I head to London, dad won't be able to take me and I can't really depend on mum to run me on. May mean me hanging around Burnley for an hour before my coach is due to leave but it'll have to be done.

Just seen the new facility on the top bar "My LJ"! This is soooo cool :) Or maybe it's a case of small things pleasing small minds ... no comment from David ;)

Went to bed pretty early last night (about 10.30) although listened to a CD for a while. It took me AGES to get to sleep and then was pretty restless. Yep, as usual there's too much going on in this head of mine. Apart from the odd feeling I had yesterday it was actually a pretty good day.

Last night Lee uploaded his photos from Whitby onto his PC ... they are awesome and I'll be dead chuffed if my photos turn out even half as good as his. There's actually a couple of really good ones of me, and I HATE seeing myself in photos at the best of times. I'm not totally sure if I'll have the money to get mine developed before payday but hopefully I can.

Today I'm feeling pretty much ok. Not been up long so I guess anything can happen. Not half looking forward to seeing Suzie again, not seen her in a couple of years now.

Maybe I'm actually doing better then I thought I was at the start of the week. Sure, there's still stuff I've to deal with but when I'm in a better frame of mind like I have been then they are easier to deal with. It's a case with me of 9 times out of 10 being fine, and the 10th time knocks me for 6.

Before I do go, I've not been able to catch up with everyones posts. So if there's anything major happened this past week let me know so I don't put my foot in it. If I've been tagged for any memes, please send me the link :) I can't seem to put the comments onto screened from here, but you can always email me.

...has been strange really. I don't think being up for an hour through the night helped much. Managed to actually stay in bed til about 10.30 though (makes a change for me recently).

Went into work for about 1½ hours just to tie a few ends up. Thought it would've taken me longer but I didn't know Lauren's password so couldn't get onto her PC to check her emails for booking confirmations.

I got home to Em playing hell about the mess in the kitchen this morning. I told her that I'd refused to do it as I was also pissed off with my parents leaving it a pigsty and then expecting us to clean up after them. My mum actually came out with a classy comment appeantly, that she ALWAYS tidy's up after herself (yeah ... sure!). I think it's gonna be a competition as to who explodes at both of them .. me or Em. Rick has already said that if Em starts he's gonna leave the house until she's done, I said that I'd actually back her up.

I went onto J's LJ earlier and there's been a comment left by someone on his friends list who doesn't appear to know about him. I've left a message on her journal and also replied to the one she left on his. Hopefully she'll be in touch so I can update her on things. The message has been on there almost a month too, it didn't actually occour to me to keep checking for comments left on there. I guess I wanted to try and re-live the weekend we had together a little and how it was actually cut short. Prft

It may not sound strange but I feel really strange today, a little lost maybe. Possibly the come down after a wicked day yesterday (always happens to me).

Anyways, it a gorgeous day out there so I think I'll grab some lunch and head out for a walk. Lee copied me a load of Def Leppard stuff onto tapes so I'll listen to one of those I think.

Not had a bad day today! Actually went quite quickly at work (thank god!!), got overtime tomorrow - oh the money (shame it's for nothing else but!!).

Had a shock tonight - got home for work and my mum told me that my Aunt is moving to Grease TOMORROW with her new fella! She only told us today, I think they were planning on going over in a few weeks by all accounts! It wouldn't really bother me too much but she only left her husband a few weeks back and now, all of a sudden, shes leaving the bloody country!! Well, it's her life I suppose!!

Just making my food for work tomorrow - rice with egg and tuna! sounds like a strange concoction but I don;t have a break (am only working 4 hours from 12-4) and needs to be easy to eat!

Am so jealous of my mate in America! He works on the Indiana Jones Outpost in the MGM part of Disney and non other then AEROSMITH are gonna be there over the weekend! I simply wanna cry!! He's gonna see if he can take some pics for me (what a sweetie)!
