Disgusted!

Last week I placed myself on the computer prepared to do some serious fighting over a pair of Diesel dirty thirty Limited edition jeans! Ten o'clock the shop opened and soon as did the page start experiencing hick-ups like no other and it took me a good 30 minutes to advance on the page to get to the shop part where after 10 minutes of being thrown out the page I finally got to the pair i wanted and bagged those beauties. Pressed checkout flying high as a kite from the shopping adrenaline buzz and it read "The item you have chosen is no longer available and has been removed from your bag." I felt gutted, but excepted my failure and went about my life as before. Tonight surfing the net in boredom I thought to myself, I'll go and check ebay for the jeans if some have gotten on sale. Well over a hundred pairs came up just on the UK site!! Greedy little swines! Some of the buy it now prices were up to 170GBP!!!! What's that for an increase in the value!??? All I wanted was one pair to cherish and love forever more, but noooooo!!!!!

I know I'm sad..... In fairness, if I had the money I would've probably bought a rake of them and put them on ebay aswell. I might keep my eye out for them in case there's some going for a reasonable price. I did see some starting from the 30 quid price range, two days left in shopping time, so maybe see how it's going and place a bit if we're still on double digits. 

Oh how good it feels to dance around the house in jammies, no where to go, nothing to do. 

These are the boots can't decide between the two, all comments are very welcome!

I thought I had lost my other baby ( the macintosh) after my little duracel bunny spilled my full cup of coffee all over my keyboard, but after couple days of drying I'm back in action and no damage is done to my beloved white beauty. I was informed yesterday that the root of my rage is being sacked and will no longer be draining me of my will to live. Thank Jeeves for that! Now I just have to make my peace with the fact that we'll be getting a new head chef next week. Let's see how this goes. Hopefully this guy turns out to be ok, and not to destroy the athmosphere in work too much, I think we are all having certain reservations about him. The situation is slightly bizarre,as our chef de cuisine will still be there just as always but no there will be someone else somewhat running the kitchen. Feel a bit sorry for this guy, as initially we are all thinking that someone lost their job because of him, not just anyone either, he was with the company longer than any of us, he gave 18 years of his life to this place and now so suddenly been made redundant. Secondly, this person will be coming into a new kitchen at the busiest time of the year to work with strangers and having to get to know the kitchen and the people in it in a very short time, while having to take control of things but also work under someone else. Not easy. 

The way I see it, he might be positioned as a head chef, but he will work just as the souz-chefs. It's probably the hardest thing for our two souz-chefs as they have always been in charge of the kitchen when the executive chef is away, just as I would be incharge if they were away. Now having to take orders from someone who doesn't even know what they are doing yet. It might all go horribly wrong.  Only time will tell. 

In lighter news, I have my eyes set on a pair of knee high boots! they are gorgeous! Very expensive, but sooo pretty! Last month I was so good and shopped for nothing. I wasn't even really wanting anything. I was going from shop to shop but nothing was really tickling my fancy too much, no must have moments surfaced. This month I'm seeing so many things I want. So far I haven't gone shopping for anything for myself. Got new clothes for the babby, got her fitted for her big girl winter boots, 5 and half G she is. And got new stuff for her bedroom. I can't wait to get her room sorted out and made into a proper girlie bedroom for her! 

Anyway back to my boots! :)

This winter is gonna be so cold, you can already feel it in the air, I'm wearing mittens, hats, scarves, anything and everything to stay warm!!! Boots will be very necessary as they keep your calves warm too and you can even wear skirts without freezing to death. 

I thought I would be pretty good for a winter coat but I might need to get a thicker one as it is really really cold out!

Now back to X-factor...

Swelling with pride!

My little girl is talking!

Today was an eventful day I must say. Her first finnish started coming through in heaps, as she walked to the fridge, opened the door and said "maito" pointing at the carton of milk in the fridge door. "What did you say?" "Maito". 

OOH MY GOD! I phoned everyone!! She just said milk in finnish!! I got off of the phone, and more followed. She said "tuu tänne" for "come here", and clear as anything it was, later on she said "anna" for "give" and while we were playing she started counting "one, too, thlee!" So exciting!!! I can't believe all that happened in one day! I also discovered she likes olives when I was having tapas for lunch and she asked to taste one. "Anna." In the mouth it went and out came "yum yum yum" for approval.

Soon she'll be off to college, and fancy dinner parties! One of the proudest moments of my motherhood, I'm sure!

And the fact that it was all in Finnish makes me even prouder because I'm pretty much holding  the ford by myself in this end, so the fact that she's picking it up means the world to me and it's like having our own little secret language here in Scotland! :)
