OK, importing LJ to facebook notes

Facebook, go to Notes
My Notes
On the right there should be a box called "Notes Settings"
In that box there is a link titled "Edit Import Settings"
Click it

You should then get the option to import notes from an external blog – you have to give it the web address of where you want it to import from

You know, I don’t think I slept as well as I thought I did last night. I am basing this on the fact I was properly asleep on the train with dreams and everything. I can see a lot of coffee in my day.

I had another day off today, 3 day weekend! woo hoo! :D

I spent it reading Are YOU Dave Gorman? which was fabulously funny and a reminder that all the best things start out as a drunken bet in the pub. I also took photos of the wedding dress I didn't wear and the spare bridesmaid dress and listed them on eBay, stayed in my PJ's longer than is decent on a week day, smacked my hand on the pointy bit of the banister by taking the corner too fast, and have just got back from having the in-filling done one the tattoo on my back. It amuses the tattoo people no end that I tend to take my knitting with me :)

Tomorrow I'll be back at work and having a bash at trying to audit another pension transfer file. I managed two last week and I think I'm starting to get my head round what kind of things the FSA want us to look for when we do these.

We had a new front door and bedroom window fitted yesterday, xmas pressie from my parents and my bonus respectively.

The new front door is lovely, it's green and very smart :) So much so that I am inspired to tackle our front yard at the weekend to get rid of the encroaching weeds and windswept rubbish, and to get some black paint for the light by the door :) If / when we get round to replacing the windows at the front of the house I'd like them to match the door - so have the smart lead piping effect rather than the think white internal beading stuff we have at the moment.

Bed room window is also fab :) Our bedroom is quiet!

You know, I don't think I'm as over the weirdy sea sick / loss of balance bug as I thought I was. Being fatigued used to make my throat hurt, it was my warning sign that I'd done too much and needed to stop NOW or be ill. For the last 3 months ish I've been getting ear ache with that as well, which is annoying, but OK. Then I had the labrynthitis thingamie, and now if I am even slightly tired and / or run down I feel giddy and sick. Needed an anti-nausea tablet to get to sleep last night, and another when I got to work this morning.

That the giddy sick thing kicks off when I'm fatiguey is a pain, I have CFS, Chronic FATIGUE Syndrome, I'm pretty much always tired! lol!

Another quiet early night I think, the only plans are to wrap The Small's birthday presents for the weekend :)

Last night I proved yet again that whatever colour I try to dye my hair it goes red. I was aiming for purple and have got red. It’s a very nice dark red, and I like it a lot, but it’s not purple. One day I will learn :)

Despite being shattered I didn’t sleep well at all last night, this is making my morning at work somewhat interesting. Trying not to have coffee in the hopes of sleeping tonight, although that’s not proving difficult as I really just don’t fancy it.

Getting overtired used to spark a sore throat, now it seems to spark ear ache as well, which leads to wobbliness and queasiness. Just taken a magic anti-nausea pill for the first time in days.

It's quarter to eleven on a Monday, I'm still in my comfies, and have just had breakfast... gotta love 3 day weekends :)

Actually, I'm going to have a minor grump, my extra day at the weekend was meant to miraculously make me feel better. But after one pint out with Aaron and Lou last night to celebrate their Elvis wedding in Vegas I was so tired and achy and feeling generally crappy that we had to come home... I was in bed by eleven! bah.

It was lovely to see Mr and Mrs Prime though, their Vegas wedding sounded awesome! Elvis played Metallica while they were saying their vows and Lou was given away by the King of Rock and Roll! :D

Pub last night came after dinner at my parents', we had steak followed by home made bread an butter pudding. nomnomnom

I have started today with painkillers in the hope that they will make the sore throat, head and ears go away. Soon there will be coffee, and then I can get on with they day. Today's plans include making soup, pootling around town, possibly buying some more funky colored yarn to make little hats, lunch at the Dolphin, and getting to knit club for the start of it rather than the end so I get home at a better time later :) Coffee first though

I am very pleased, I have finished some more baby and toddler hats and put them up for sale at Knewby's Knits :)

I am now booked in to have my back tat infilled on 23rd November. It was going to be on Fri 11th of Dec, but it turns out that's one of the weekends my parents will be up here rather than down at Nan's and as Mum doesn't work Friday's anymore we're going to go and do something. Probably shopping :)

Naturally I am starting to think about the lily tattoo I haven't got yet, and have been looking at botanical prints on google image search. There are some fabulous pictures of many different kinds of lilies out there! Just need to decide what I want now! :)

( lilies that caught my eye )

I admitted to my mum that it's me feeling crappy not my lovely husband. We have rearranged seeing them to Sunday by which time I will hopefully be feeling less crappy :)

I swear my mum has some form of esp, here I was sitting dithering about tonight. I get up and leave my desk for 2 minutes, and she calls in those two minutes about tonight. Is it a skill you learn at mothering school do you think?

Today marks my last full week in the office before my xmas break :) I had holiday to use up so am having a series of 4 day weeks.

I am glad of it as well. This week has been an increasing struggle and I think I've worked out why. I've not been sleeping properly. The reason I've not been sleeping properly is because I've been overheating in the night. I have discovered I sleep much better in a cold room snuggled up under a duvet than in a warm centrally heated room. I know it gets warm in the summer, but then we'll have the window open to get some fresh air in, this weather we don't so it just gets stuffy and then I don't sleep.

I will admit that as a result today has been oddly surreal in places.

We're meant to be going to a Coalville Town Twinning do with my parents tonight. It won't be very exciting, in fact it will be really dull if my past experience of such dos is anything to go by. However, we need to go because there is a man there who fen_wolfchile can chat to about potential work, and his wife who I can chat to about potentially selling knitted hats on her stall at the farmers' market.

There was a chance yesterday that we might not go because fen_wolfchile wasn't well, but he seems to be over that... am I a bad person for thinking about lying to my mum and saying he's still ill?

I just want to sleep for the next three days...

I NEED this on a t shirt

Woken up hot, tired, headachy, wobbly and a bit sick. I have had a smoothie, taken a horse pill and an anti-nausea pill, and come into the office. I cannot be off sick again. Last full week before I break for xmas, I can do this. We cannot afford our single household income to drop to £79.15 a week. £79.15 a week won't even pay the mortgage, never mind the bills. If I wasn't so bloody tired and sickly all the fucking time I'd look for a weekend bar job.

*stress*

First frost of the season and I have celebrated by not getting any deep sleep last night. I'd forgotten how bleary that makes my mornings. Send coffee.

Need to really start watching what I eat again, in the last month I seem to have put on half a stone...

We started lazily with pottering and knitting this morning. After a bacon muffin for lunch we headed to a garden centre where fen_wolfchile's mum had seen gloves that might be long enough to fit my really long alien hands. Gloves were tried on and turquoise gloves purchased, then round to the in-laws' to show them the new gloves and ended up leaving them there as they are to become my birthday present :) After that we popped in to see Karl for a cuppa and took away books he wanted charity shopping as we have a car and he doesn't. Since getting home I have organised the charity shop pile into three boxes and a bag, fen_wolfchile has tinkered with Karl's vacuum cleaner so it should work again, I have made a batch of soup for lunches next week, and my wonderful husband is currently preparing Goan-style Hot and Sour Pork :D

We have been out in the garden :) Ant has been pruning and I have done some much needed weeding and planted my daffodil bulbs :) Bacon and egg muffin for lunch :D

I went for a little wander at lunch, and found myself at Knitty Gritty in the Victoria Centre Market. They have lovely exciting yarns and I showed tremendous will power in leaving them all there! The nice man gave me some flyers to take to knit club on Monday too :D

... don't tell anyone, but I think I might be getting it all under control :D
