Is there anybody out there? Pt 2

I realised last night that since the Bryn/Becky/Claire fallout I have 3 friends that I can call my own: Rachel and Emma and Duncan. Rachel and Emma have young children so they pretty much have their own lifes and their priorities are different now. Duncan I must admit I haven't been in touch with properly for a good few months but he hasn't been in contact with me either; I mean Milque and Lusk were our common threads, we would put the world to rights and dicuss the bands all night but these bands have gone now and well, I'm not sure that we'd miss each other a hell of a lot if we didn't hear from each other ever again (and I'm not being disrespectful here).

So, I guess what I'm saying is I sometimes feel like that awkward teenager again, the one who didn't really have any mates but just knew people she went to school with/lived on the same street as. I found Jamie Baine on FB, you know from college, I've had some contact with him via text so I sent him a friend request and added a message asking how his holiday was....he accepted the request but didn't reply to my question. I sent a second message to Colin after he replied to me but haven't heard anything from him either. I'm sure if Jason was reading this he'd say, "why do you feel the need to contact people who don't bother with you?", how would I answer him? I'm not sure why I try and contact people instead of holding out to see if they bother with me; I think friendships are important I guess, having Jason as a husband is different to having friends, not less important but I suppose if you have friends then you must be decent, interesting person right?....right???

Yes, it's true...there's snow in the UK, I know..crazy and here's the proof people:

All the news channels are twatting on about it but Jason and I both got to finish work early so I can deal with the relentless media drivel.  I plonked Maude and Margo on the window ledge so they could witness this historic event; they looked reasonably interested.  By the way we bought these Bengal kittens a few weeks ago from a cattery in beautiful Barnsley.  Maude is lovely, she's the white one that I picked, Margo has ADHD and will attack you without hesitation...Jason picked her. They're both ummm, very 'active' and love pulling all the laundry from the clothes horse till it falls down...all night.  Cats are supposed to be relaxing but apparently not these two.  


Dad got admitted to hospital again a few days ago, he had a bit of a pain in his chest but he's okay, just getting cabin fever from being in hospital waiting for a treadmill so he can have a fitness test.  V's house got broken into on Friday night while they were out, they made a "right mess" but I don't know what was taken.  The kids were here as usual, J wants to stay here for half term (so he told my mum) and said he wishes V hadn't married D as he doesn't really show any interest in them (no surprise there then).  

Nick's doing ok with the chemo, he wont loose his hair and the only side effect so far has been a rash; we're going for a meal this Saturday for his birthday.  Not seen anyone for a while and I sent Colin a reply to his message...we'll see if he's interested in replying.  Apart from that my only company are the cats, my husband and my family...shouldn't moan really.
