Most Haunted in Sheffield

The ghost hunting was great but tiring cos by the end of it I'd been up for 25 hours with no sleep. They did make us lovely bacon sarnies in the morning and pumpkin soup that night. We were ghost hunting in the manor house when Mary Queen of Scots were kept prisoner for 19 years. There were soooooooo many orbs on the CCTV set up for each room, though they didn't come out on my digital camera but my mate had better luck with hers, she got a couple. The electromagnetic device went off in my hand a few times.

At first I was nervous about going into rooms on my own and I left the doors open but by the end of the night I was off by myself all over the place trying to see things. I volunteered to do a lone vigil in the nearby ruins but for safety reason they have to have one of their guys outside. While I was in the this really bright orb rolled across the ground by my feet and I shouted "white light" at the exact same time as the bloke outside shouted it. He'd taken a picture of spooky white mist with a woman's face in it at the exact same moment, cool eh?

Woohoo for last min MCR tix

Yay, I got me some last minute tix for last night's MCR show and it was fantastic. They are the best band out there live at the mo.

They started with na na na na and played some of the new stuff but also a lot of the really old stuff.

It was just so much fun to sing along to. My 12 year old cousin totally enjoyed his first ever gig. Though he did state that the venue smelled of penis. I'm not asking.

When they sung "Honey,this mirror", they got two girls out of the crowd to sing along. I was happy for them but they turned out to be prats. One had a huge mohican hairdo, they seemed to think they were in the band. I think the look on Gerard's face said "I really didn't think this through" hahaha!

Great bloody night though.

Days off are bliss!

Says it all really.

Where are you Welshie???

Come back, we miss you sweetie.

Damn tired

I really hate 7 day working weeks. I just wanted to say that.

Dad's day 2010

I already said this in an email to TJ but I thought I'd post it here too.

We had a lovely couple of days at the coast. I'm sure you all know that it was Dad's anniversary on the 18th.

I'll tell you a story about spookiness. I was playing on one of the fruit slot machines, just a two pence a time one as I'm not one of the big spending gamblers hahah!, and I was thinking of Dad and said in my head "Dad if you are here, let the jackpot come up and I'll know and I can tell mum you are here with us". Well, the jackpot was only a fiver and I didn't really expect anything to happen and when my pennies ran out I thought, ah well, there you go. Then I was walking through the arcade when I spotted a two pence on the floor. I picked it up, turned around and behind me was one of the machines I like to play. I put my one and only two pence into the machine and would you believe that the jackpot came straight up. Is that a sign? Who knows. I'd like to think so.

Congrats!

Congrats to Spain on winning their first world cup.

But an even bigger congrats to Paul the octopus for predicting right again.

Who'd have thunk it eh?
