Wednesday 11th May

Today was me & BigBoss's anniversary.......we met 21 years ago today! I spose i should consider that quite an achievement, it doesn't feel like 21 years lol.

I was 15, he was 18 and we met in a pub called The Tigers Head in Lee Green, South East London. I went there with a couple of mates from school, he was there with loads of mates as it was his local. I got him to buy me a drink, but being the modern girl that i am i insisted in buying him one back (which apparently really impressed him lol....he reckons i was the first girl that had ever bought him a pint!). It was actually my mate that fancied him, but he didn't fancy her (great news for me though!). He says he liked my pink hair (ooooo, those were the days!). It was 4 days before my 16th birthday so i jokingly asked him where he was gunna take me (so i spose you could say i asked him out) and i was surprised when he actually agreed to! At the end of the night i ended up throwing up in the toilets, but the fact that i'd been sick didn't seem to put him off snogging the face off me in the car park lol. We swapped phone numbers, and the rest , as they say, is history.......... Trouble was i was actually kind of going out with someone else at the time lol. Well, as far as my ex was concerned i was!

So you could say that today I'm feeling old lol

I had a lay in this morning which was really nice. BigBoss took the kids to school and i managed to lay in till 9! I probably would have slept a bit longer if it wasn't for Tigzz (the cat, not my DD). He started by biting my ankles and when that didn't work, he attacked my hands. I felt terrible all day though as i don't think I've been getting enough sleep recently. It tends to catch up with me after about a week.

I spent most of the day trying to sort out the Yahoo group I've set up for Kent Book Crossers:
http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/KentBCUK/ which was a case of sending out invites and PMing people, letting them know about the group. We're hoping to organize a meet up at some stage, but I've gotta see what peoples preferences are, ie when they can make it.

I packaged up a box of books for LyzzyBee which I'm hopefully gunna post today. She needs some books for her OBCZ and a project she's got where she's gunna have a stall or something in Moseley. Had a great journal entry come in from The States, not on one of my books unfortunately, it was one of tigzz's http://bookcrossing.com/journal/2461886

I managed to persuade acanthium32 to meet me for a coffee today, so that will be nice.

Spent most of the evening (after watching Desperate Housewives of course) culling Mount Toobie :o( We're putting the house on the market in the next couple of weeks so i really need to get a bit more organized and as I've only got one bookcase (all my TBR's are in 3 crates under my bed) the piles of books all over the bedroom have got to go!!!!! I haven't got a loft in this house so storage is a big problem. If we were gunna stay here BigBoss had promised me that i could have a whole wall (floor to ceiling in an alcove that's about 7 foot wide by 2 foot deep) in my bedroom fitted out with bookshelves, but now we're moving I'll have to save that promise for the next house. I'll be househunting and saying to the agent "yes, but i don't really care if there's parking, is there room for lots of book cases?". Gunna work on BigBoss sorting out his 2 piles tonight. Don't see why i should be the only one who suffers lol

Well that's about it, i must dash as I've gotta organize what books I'm gunna wild release today......
