1) cleaning: I've spent all weekend cleaning and am just taking a break, having been up and at it today since 7am this morning and most of yesterday too. Why am I being such a freak about cleaning when I'm so tired? Because dazzlebug is coming to stay next week for a few days and on the rare occasions anyone comes to stay, I always do this. Doesn't matter that my flat is always clean (shabby yes, but clean!), I just feel this stupid need for everything to be perfect and spotless if anyone is going to be staying.

2) busy: So dazzlebug is coming next Thursday and staying until the following Wednesday (30th), and I've also got the lovely mrs_leary coming down for the day next Saturday, and the three of us will spend the day together, hopefully having a picnic on the beach!

Once dazzlebug goes home, I'll then have Peter and Joshua here for a few days, and as Peter always insists on putting my Christmas tree up on the first weekend in December, so that's what the boys will be doing that weekend; decorating the flat. Once they go home on the Sunday morning (4th) I've then got lilithilien coming down for the day - we've been on each others flists since pretty much the beginning, so it'll be exciting to meet her for the first time!

3) car: Some of you wanted to see photos of the car, so Jeremy (one of the clients at the day centre I work at) took some photos for me on Friday so I could post them:








Hope at least some of you are having a more relaxing weekend than me; take care all ♥

Ooooooh, shiny car!

I hear you about the cleaning thing, I get obsessive too when people come to stay.

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I'm glad it's not just me =)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hee! I'm the same when people come over. :) Hope you have a nice time with K and everyone else! :D

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I'm really looking forward to her staying again!

The car is adorable.

I am the same way when people come visit. Though, lucky or not for me, SC is a much less desirable place to visit, so my super cleaning jags are spaced very far apart.

*hugs*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thank you =)

I very rarely have people come stay too. Do you have any photos of the area you live? Maybe that could be one of your daily November posts =)

*hugs*

[moyawyvern.livejournal.com]

I might do that, but where I live isn't the prettiest or most interesting place, especially now that most of the leaves have turned. Plus, I don't get out much lately. I'll see if I have any pictures hanging around. There must be something on my computer besides cats. :)

*hugs*

STOP CLEANING!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I knew you'd say that!

I'm nearly done for today, honest =)

[prfctdaze.livejournal.com]

Love the red car!

Have fun with all your guests :)

*hugs*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thanks lovely =)

*hugs*

lol i'm the same way when people come to visit, i clean more than I ever do, and I know they probably don't even care but i want it to look nice at least when they first get there.

Your car is adorable :)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

It's worth it when it's all done though =)

Thank you =)

[valika56.livejournal.com]

As the cleaning, I do the same as you, when guests are coming to visit our place. I thing it's a habit. Just don't carry it too far.:)

You new-old red car looks nice! And have fun with your guests.:)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

That's my problem - I do go a bit (a lot!) overboard!

Thanks lovley ♥

[huntress1013.livejournal.com]

Well sort of though I basically did what you did - clean my flat, iron my shirts and stuff and right now my pumpkin is baking in the oven and I am finally just sitting on my couch doing nothing but look at my f-list and drink tea LOL

BTW it is totally normal to clean like mad when people come to stay, I think everybody does it.

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I tend to go too far sometimes (most of the time) though and that leaves me knackered but very happy, as I do like things to be clean =)

[ms-3m.livejournal.com]

Ooooh! M.... Cute, cute car! The interior looks like it's in fab shape as does the outside. I hope the two of you have a long, happy, trouble-free relationship.

Sounds like your place is going to be Grand-Central Station. Fun!
I'm envious of Lili's visit. One of these days. *sigh*

Did you ever decide what you're going to do for your Big Day? In case I loose my mind and track of time, I'm going to go ahead and wish you a Happy Birthday now. I hope you have the most splendid of days. You deserve the best.

*MEGA hugs*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

So do I!

I'll be seeing 3 flisters int he space of just over a week - never done that before, OR seen 2 on one day! I'm getting braver!

The picnic idea was pretty much dismissed by my friends, which made me stupidly sad for a while, but now dazzlebug and mrs_leary and myself will do it by ourselves on the Saturday (26th) the day after my birthday, so that will be really nice =)

*hugs loads*

[padfootie.livejournal.com]

BRO? :D

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I know, right?! I mentioned last time how much Peter likes the BRO number plate, like it's just for him or something =)

[vita-candeo.livejournal.com]

The car is so cute! I love it :-D Any ideas on names for the car? (All cars must have names!)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Nope, though my mechanic - who got the car for me - says it goes like a rocket, so maybe that?

[vita-candeo.livejournal.com]

Rocket would be a good name. Maybe "Speed Racer" LOL

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Maybe, though it's a bit of a mouthful! =)

[vita-candeo.livejournal.com]

It's only three syllables, which is shorter than either my full first name or my full middle name (which, granted, I never use :-P)

What about Pongo? It's red, which reminds me of a fire truck, which makes me think of dalmatians, which makes me think of 101 dalmatians, which makes me think of Pongo. And yes, that is just about how my brain works 24-7. See, random things I say aren't random... it's just that no one else follows my train of thought :-)

Or maybe Grover? (Red color -> Red was my favorite color when I was four -> I liked watching Sesame Street -> The Muppets were on Sesame Street -> My favorite Muppet was Grover -> Also, Muppet fits with you :-D!)

Alvin? (The car is cute -> chipmunks are cute -> chipmunks with names -> Alvin the the chipmunk that wears red, the car's color)

... my brain is a scary place ;-)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I love that you give it so much thought! I do like Grover or Alvin though =)

Car names

[ms-3m.livejournal.com]

I vot for Grover! or Grovette if the car turns out to be a girl.

:-D

Re: Car names

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I like Grover too =)

[vita-candeo.livejournal.com]

I put a lot of thought into most things... sometimes is just doesn't seem like it since it's so random ;-)

[lilithilien.livejournal.com]

BOUGHT MY TICKETS TODAY!! But I won't technically be there in the morning, I'm due to arrive at 1pm. I am so excited to see you and your lovely place all decked out in holiday trimmings - I can't wait!!

And your car is so cute - it certainly is red!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Great! We'll sort out times and things nearer the date, but yes, I did know it was about 1pm, so plenty of time for me to take the boys home so they're not around =)

*hugs*

[nicole9514.livejournal.com]

i wanted to pop in and wish you a happy birthday!

[ansku]

Happy Birthday! I hope you are having great time this weekend :)

Also, car looks nice and well kept :)
