Get out of my FACEbook!

This is a new site for people who want to join social network sites but don’t want anyone to view their profile, don’t want to be invited to join an group and certainly DON’T want anyone to request their friendship!!

It is inspired by a friend of mine who is new to FB and VERY suspicious of it. He’s quite wary that now he is on there, people might find him.

There was the shocking moment when he realised that when he wrote on his friend’s wall other people could see it!!! The post went something like... “Wow Pete, haven’t seen you in ages. How are you doing?”

Now I know that the guys from Spooks would have that deciphered in a second and would know that this guy is obviously subversive and a danger to society and scoop him up, hiding him in a Safe House in Bethnal Green; never to be seen again. But to most of us FB users it’s probably fairly harmless and won’t damage the UN peace agreement s just yet if someone spots it. . .

Some words of advice for those nervous about social networking sites. Don’t take them too seriously guys. Don’t dwell too much on it. Be sensible, be friendly and for goodness sake if you’re going to add your credit card number will you PLEASE remember the last 3 digits on the back!!!

Cadbury's now owned by Mac'n'Cheese brigade!!!

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2010/0119/breaking13.html

What a sad day. After months of fending off a hostile takeover, Cadbury have finally bowed to Kraft's offer.

Now I'm feeling very delicate and fragile at the moment (another story) but the one of the things gives me comfort is chocolate. In fact I do believe it is an addcitive substance. I'd love to walk up to a drug addict and say, "HEROIN??? come on!! have you never dipped a bar of fruit and nut into your tea and sucked the melting chocolate off while keeping a finger free to catch the bit rolling down your chin?????? Now that's a high!!"

But some one told me that not to do that. Not advisable... apparently!

Kraft make soups, freeze dried mac'n'cheese and all sorts of other highly processed instant stuff. Yum... not! And I know Iriah jobs are important and blah blah blah but WHAT IF THEY CHANGE THE RECIPE!!!! Now that WOULD BE a serious national disaster.

As life progresses I realise more and more that it is true... God really IS the only one I can rely on. I'm struggling with some disappointments at the moment. And even the faithful chocolate could end up being a pierce'n'ding product -- although I'm not sure quite how that would work; but you get my point.

There was an attempt at a hostile take over of God. More than 1 actually. But he fends them off -- every time. And thank God that his recipe won't change!

Right let's make some tea.... :)

Happy You Near

I used to be such a faithful blogger. What went wrong?!
But I'll try again.

I'm sitting in bed looking out at the snow. Isn't it amazing. Everywhere is so white.
I love putting footprints in snow. Maybe it's my desire to wreck stuff, or maybe I am actually 7!!!!

Well hasn't 2009 been a funny old year with the recession and all that jazz...

I had to go down to part time work, which I secretly love!!! I can devote more time to studying and othe stuff... yeay!

And we had to sell a car... oooohhhh dear -- where's Del-boy when you really need him!? It was such a pain.

We were selling it cos of lack of money and no one was buying it cos of lack of money... If there was more money about it would probably have sold quicker but then we wouldn't have needed to sell it. Oh the ironing of it all!!

AND I graduated!!! So exciting. That degree means so much to me. It's the one thing I give my self permission to be totally proud of. (I'm proud about lots of things but feel bad about them)

2010 will bring a few interesting things too...
I'm having my first cornea transplant in March
Me and Rich are back to Wales for the month of June to do a placement with our old church
And we'll be 10 years married in August.

And that's just some of the stuff I know about. So there'll be no excuse not to be blogging.

Be back soon x
