Like I don't have anything better to do than pop to the post office every five minutes each time someone pays me? Fuck's sake.</p> <p>Well I have become distracted of late by the wonder of facebook! Spend far too much time on there, but it is nice to see what people are up to and catch up with old friends, so I guess it's not so bad.</p> <p>Right, too much to do today for writing, but thought I'd let you all know I am alive and well! Thanks for everyone who's emailed me in the intermittent period.

Haven't had the money back from the last one yet and not expecting it til the end of the week so Matt took my slr camera to the pawn shop today (it's worth over £500) and they said they only take digital ones! Both our digi cameras combined would only get us about £60 at the pawn shop! So we are going to have to drive to farnworth tomorrow before we go and take Matt's bass guitar which is his pride and joy and probably my stereo too - just to raise enough for this bloody trip! We still haven't paid the £500 of bills we owe but have lucked out in that they are taking their time disconnecting us! We also still owe the landlord £200 from last month's rent! And here we are with no money and needing £200 in the next 18 hours so we can get to an interview which is vital for our life plans! Great isn't it?</p> <p>On top of that, I'm having serious issues with my family. I obviously won't go into too much detail here but my mother is really ill by her own doing and relating to this is the fact that our family is slowly coming apart at the seams. Luckily, my sisters and brother and I are all really close so we always have each other to talk to. Also my dad is a great bloke and we are all supporting him as it is clearly my mum who is in the wrong. Saying that it's still stressful and upsetting, especially for my little sister who is only 16 and has been right in the middle of the whole mess. She's got a great boyfriend though and she stays with my older sister a lot to get away from stuff. It's all such a mess but it's really hard to try and explain on here without divulging anything as think it's all a bit too sensitive to betray everyone's right to privacy. Suffice to say the night it happened I spent all night on the phone with my family, 2 hours with my dad, and didn't sleep a wink. I was trying to drop off at 6am when my husband's alarm went off and I thought I may as well just get up at that point. I feel a right mess at the moment.</p> <p>So things aren't great as you can no doubt tell! I am stressed out to the point where my head will not stop pounding and I feel nauseous all the time. I'm having blood tests this week anyway for thyroid and diabetes and ME and stuff, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's all just caused by stress!</p> <p>Well that's me! Won't be able to blog the next couple of days as I will hopefully find some miraculous way of getting to cornwall.... if I was religious I'd be praying right about now!!</p> <p>Gem x </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/05/21/personal_circumstances~2307727/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>familylifehealthmoneyhttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/05/21/personal_circumstances~2307727/#commentshttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/05/14/any_rich_philanthropists_out_there~2269335/tag:gemblebee.blog.co.uk,2007-05-14:/2007/05/14/any_rich_philanthropists_out_there~2269335/Mon, 14 May 2007 18:34:19 +0200 <p>Help!</p> <p><img src="/img/smilies/graysigh.gif" alt=":**:" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Seriously... fast running out of options!</p> <p><img src="/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif" alt=":'(" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/05/14/any_rich_philanthropists_out_there~2269335/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>helphttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/05/14/any_rich_philanthropists_out_there~2269335/#commentshttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/05/13/good_sister_bad_sister_better_burn_that_~2262158/tag:gemblebee.blog.co.uk,2007-05-13:/2007/05/13/good_sister_bad_sister_better_burn_that_~2262158/Sun, 13 May 2007 14:41:12 +0200 <p>Wah!</p> <p>Well, I just read that last blog from last night - god it sounds bad! I was juuust a leeeeetle bit drunky poos hmm. I thought I'd better point out that I don't have a problem with lesbians! I have many friends and relatives (more than your average it has to be said) who are of the lesbian persuasion, but I did have a problem with serbis winning last night - and not because they were lesbans hahaha! Oh and not because I have a problem with serbia either!</p> <p>Oh god, spoon, hole. I'll give up now!</p> <p>Well, I thought Ukraine should have won - that was bloody fantastic, how could anyone not think so? I also really liked France and thought they would do better, and Sweden - the new Marc Bolan just a bit! But great anyway!</p> <p>I haven't been pissed for ages it was great fun! But I did injure my jaw. And now I have a bit of a hangover wurgh which is not quite so nice :/</p> <p>Still haven't solved this money problem, if we don't conjure up £500 by the end of this week we'll have no gas (so no heating or hot water) no electric (so no... anything!) and no internet!!! How on earth could we possibley cope! Yeah so it's a bit of a nightmare. Obviously we could cope with no gas as we can just wear jumpers and the shower is electric so that's ok, and we could cope without the net although it would cut us off a bit and we wouldn't be able to put anything on ebay in order to make some more money, but not the end of the world. But electric? I'm sorry, there's no way of coping with no lighs, no cooker, no kettle, no fridge, no showers, no mobile phones (how would we charge them?) and no tv! So panicking just a bit right now! God, if only we were rich! Bollocks.</p> <p>Anyway, I got stuff to do (probably) so I'll write again soon - if I'm still connected!!!</p> <p>Brum brum</p> <p>Gem x </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/05/13/good_sister_bad_sister_better_burn_that_~2262158/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>moneyboozeeurovisionlesbiansbillshttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/05/13/good_sister_bad_sister_better_burn_that_~2262158/#commentshttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/05/12/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~2259612/tag:gemblebee.blog.co.uk,2007-05-12:/2007/05/12/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~2259612/Sat, 12 May 2007 23:47:41 +0200 <p>Why did those big lesbians win eurovision?</p> <p>It should have been the gays from Ukraine!

The last time I saw rain like that was a few years ago when Boscastle got flooded! Took us 6 hours to get back without a break, and there were cars flying off the road all over the place. It was like driving through an actual lake - not fun!</p> <p>PLUS I got lost in St Austell. It's such a rubbish town - tiny and boring. Plus it's basically one big building site as it's all being regenerated at the moment. It's ok like, very friendly, just rubbish. Anyway, I got a taxi in from the hotel as it was all uphill and I didn't know where I was going in the pissing rain, went round the charity shops and stuff, then at 2pm I thought Matt would be finished soon so I'd head back to the hotel as it was only about a mile away, and sit in the costa coffee next door have a drink and read Cornwall Today while I waited for him. I didn't know the way so I asked a few people for directions, and they all said 'bottom of this road go right and carry on til you get to a double roundabout. Fine. Simple. Got to the bottom of the road and turned right. My umbrella was broken by this point and I was basically in the middle of a Cornish monsoon. There was no footpath so I had to walk on the verge (long sodden grass - mmm) up the biggest hill I have ever seen. I got to the top of the hill thinking the roundabout would be on the other side - but no! The road just carried on down and then up another hill and I could see it snaking off in the distance. So by now I am soaked, I am wearing suede trainers (don't ask) which are full of water, and I am totally wet through, can't see out my glasses, carrying all these heavy bags, and have just walked over 4 miles - almost 3 of them up this hill. Serious. So I just get hysterical, have a panic attack and start crying like a lunatic. There's all these cars whizzing past and you'd think someone might have stopped... anyway, I find a big concrete bus shelter so at least I'm out of the rain, and ring Matt - his phone is off so I leave him a hysterical message saying 'I'm lost on a big hill and I'm wet and my umbrella's broken and I don't know what to do' then wait for about 20 minutes trying to calm myself down. Eventually Matt rings and says he thinks he knows where I am. I wait, then he rings again and says I'm not there but he's asked a lollipop man and figured it out. So he turns up and I'm such a state! Honestly I can't remember the last time I was like that! But then, a few months ago before I went on the treatment I wouldn't have even tried to do anything like that so it's progress of a kind!</p> <p>And breathe.</p> <p>Anyway, Matt didn't bloody get the job. So we were pissed off after all the hassle to get down there and the weather wasn't even nice. We've done that 700 mile round trip 3 times in the last 5 weeks. And now we have to go again!</p> <p>He's got an interview in St Ives, not sure when yet, but he really wants the job at Redruth which isn't til after so that may cause a problem as it's considered very bad form to accept a post then change your mind if you get offered one you want more... so we'll have to wait and see what happens there...</p> <p>Bollocks, innit?</p> <p>Well I am going to drink some wine and watch eurovision tonight which should cheer me up a bit. I need to list loads of stuff on ebay as we are so desperate for money - we got 3 red letters today, off the gas, electric and phone - they're all getting cut off next week if we don't pay them apparently, although where we are supposed to magic up 500 quid from in that time (on top of eating and finding money for more trips to bloody Cornwall) is anyone's guess. Any rich philanthropists out there reading this? You won't find a more appreciative recipient! Ah one can but dream.</p> <p>Anyway, I am off to eat some sugar puffs.</p> <p>Gem x </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/05/12/i_got_drugs_coz_you_re_fat_i_got_drugs_c~2256818/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>moneystressmore-stressweatherbollocksbillscornwallhttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/05/12/i_got_drugs_coz_you_re_fat_i_got_drugs_c~2256818/#commentshttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/05/10/oh_happy_day~2243771/tag:gemblebee.blog.co.uk,2007-05-10:/2007/05/10/oh_happy_day~2243771/Thu, 10 May 2007 09:45:06 +0200 <p>Hello!</p> <p>Well, as usual for us, some saviour has come at the last hour - postie just brought the cheque! So at least we'll have enough money for some food and for me to amuse myself tomorrow!</p> <p>We can't sort out the car tax, but we'll just have to risk that, it seems to just be a fine for it which we'll just have to accept I guess - we once drove around for a month and up and down from cornwall twice in that time with no tax simply because we didn't realise it was due! But we know this time and are not the kind of people to deliberately avoid such things! Ah well, needs must.</p> <p>Right, so I am off to finish packing and get dressed etc. We want to leave by 11 but it's nearly ten now and Matt needs to go to Bury to cash this cheque and he's still in the shower at the moment! So we'll be doing well if we're off by 12 - don't want to get stuck in Cornish rush hour - there's only 2 roads and it can get a bit crowded....</p> <p>Anyway, I'll let you know how it goes - keep your fingers crossed he gets the job!!</p> <p>Laters 'taters...</p> <p>Gem x </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/05/10/oh_happy_day~2243771/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/05/10/oh_happy_day~2243771/#commentshttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/05/09/aaah_push_it_push_it_watch_me_work_it_i_~2239444/tag:gemblebee.blog.co.uk,2007-05-09:/2007/05/09/aaah_push_it_push_it_watch_me_work_it_i_~2239444/Wed, 09 May 2007 14:54:14 +0200 <p>1 2 3 4 let me hear ya scream if ya want some more!!!</p> <p>Sorry.</p> <p>The look the lips the hips the tits - perfection...</p> <p>I am PISSED OFF today.</p> <p>Matt's cheque still hasn't come. We can hardly get anything for all the expensive things we own, and he took my wedding ring today to be valued for pawning and they said they'd give him £30!!! It's a huge thick ring with diamonds in it that cost £500 near enough - what the fuck?</p> <p>So basically, unless the cheque comes tomorrow morning so Matt can go to Bury to cash it at the money shop, we're fucked. My dad used his card to book the hotel for us which was great, but we won't be able to get there unless we can find some money for petrol - £30 at least each way! And we'd probably need to eat something at some point too... I just dn't fucking know what to do! I know it's not like any of you guys can help or anything but I'm in such a state about this the only thing I can do at the moment is get it out my system and hope that a solution presents itself in the nex </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/05/09/aaah_push_it_push_it_watch_me_work_it_i_~2239444/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/05/09/aaah_push_it_push_it_watch_me_work_it_i_~2239444/#commentshttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/05/08/so_many_things_i_could_have_done_but_clo~2233138/tag:gemblebee.blog.co.uk,2007-05-08:/2007/05/08/so_many_things_i_could_have_done_but_clo~2233138/Tue, 08 May 2007 15:11:24 +0200 <p>Urgh. Bum bum bum. That's how I feel today.</p> <p>My mother is bloody useless and won't help me with booking a hotel for thursday - found a hotel blah blah but we can't book it as we only have an electron card which they don't take, and you have to pay in advance. SO what are we supposed to do? Thought she might for once come through and help me when I needed it.</p> <p>Matt went to the pawn shop place and they only give you about a quarter of the retail value for items, and you have to pay 30% interest on them to buy them back so a complete gay. BUT what else can we do? The most valuable things we have are my digital camera which I need for taking pics for ebay to make more money, and my slr and lenses which I wanted to take with me to Cornwall to take pictures in order to amuse myself. Plus I don't trust the grubby pawn barons with it. So. What the fuck do we do? We have one day left to find the cash, about £200, find a way to book the hotel and stuff. It's a bloody nightmare.</p> <p>Apparently Truro School have already put the expenses cheque in the post although it was delayed because the retards put a spelling mistake in his name on it, but that's no good to us as it hasn't arrived yet. If it comes tomorrow I'll have to go into town specially (that's another £3.50) to take it to Matt so he can cash it, or if it comes on thursday matt will have to go into bury first thing to cash it - but that's cutting it a bit bloody fine ain't it? GOD this is so stressful, I'm trying to keep a level head but it's a bit fucking hard given the circumstances. If we can't even get down there for the interview how is Matt supposed to get a job and how are we supposed to pay our rent come september? Tell me. TELL ME. See? You can't because there is no correct answer.</p> <p>I am going to sit here in a tizz and do this face <img src="/img/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" class="middle" border="0"> until it is all better. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/05/08/so_many_things_i_could_have_done_but_clo~2233138/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>familymoneystresspawnhttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/05/08/so_many_things_i_could_have_done_but_clo~2233138/#commentshttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/05/07/hers_is_a_tonic_and_mine_is_a_gin~2226476/tag:gemblebee.blog.co.uk,2007-05-07:/2007/05/07/hers_is_a_tonic_and_mine_is_a_gin~2226476/Mon, 07 May 2007 15:13:05 +0200 <p>hey ya!</p> <p>Long time no speaky! Been busy me!</p> <p>Well we are off to Cornland again this week, Matt has another interview on friday so fingers crossed he'll get this one! Only problem is we have zero money so we are currently compiling a list of things we can put on buyback at cash generators to raise the funds! It's so wank, this month is just the worst financially for having to keep galavanting halfway accross the bloody country and back! Ah well, needs must.</p> <p>Aside from that I don't have much news, I am currently in the process of re-decorating my hideous yellow painted drawers I got off freecycle. I'm newspapering them! Yes that's right folks, I am covering them in newspaper! And maybe some pin up girls for good measure - Matt thinks I should put the tits of 92 on but unfortunately they are still in a box at his godmother's house in north Wales.</p> <p>Oh, shout out to Holski! Hello! Bizarrely the minute I logged on you joined my friends which was lovely! Except of course that now I have to uphold my end of the bargain and go and join facebook - bah! Send me another invitation and I will - promise!</p> <p>I've been using some of this gradual fake tan stuff for a week or so now - it's the lighter one for fair skin as I'm of such a deathly pallow, the face one is fine but I can't for the life of me make the body one work! I put hardly any on and STILL go fucking streaky! What? Why can I not do this, I really am not a retard but still I can't figure it out! Please tell me I'm not alone <img src="/img/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" class="middle" border="0"> I want to be brown!</p> <p>That's about all I have to say for now - promise I'll stop being so lame and start writing daily again! I thought that some days I might just share some poetry or lyrics or some such thing with you if I'm too uninspired to think up my own witticisms. You'll like that you dirty bitches.

Didn't buy much actually managed to resist temptation, although primark was just as bad as I'd anticipated, totally mental. The queue for the fitting rooms was even more ridiculous than usual, and same goes for the bloody tills, but I did get 2 lovely pairs of shoes and a hideous 80s style tee, plus a load of garish coloured tights AH how wonderful!</p> <p>Has anyone done the slim fast diet? I was thinking about it as I never know what to have for lunch and end up having about a million calories like a baked potato with cheese AND mayonnaise and tuna which really isn't good! So I was thinking, shredded wheat for brekkie (my favourite) slim fast for lunch and nice healthy dinner (got to feed the old man after all!) whaddaya reckon? Also if anyone has any idea how much this stuff costs as I have no idea! Not that I don't live in the real world or anything!</p> <p>You now cannot smoke in La Tasca at all! I fucking hate rules, I'm a fucking adult and I can make my own fucking decisions - if I want to kill myself from lung cancer ( if indeed it IS caused by smoking, I am rather sceptical ) then I should bloody well be allowed to!

I think I may have ahem overdone it a little last night, we walked in the door to the sound of Matt's alarm going off this morning - not good - he's so amazing though helping us into bed getting us water and buckets! What a star. My head feels like it might fall off and I have many blisters on my feet cry. And before anyone starts - I don't want sympathy, I am simply stating facts - kids, don't drink, vodka is the devil, and don't do drugs, drugs are bad mmmkay? Actually that's not all true, but by god you regret it the next day! I'm getting far too old for this malarky now, I don't know how the gays do it, it's such a chore trying to keep up with them! And Coll was so hammered last night, although I don't know how as most of his drinks ended up either on my tights or in my boots, I swear I nearly throttled the twat! Ah well. </p> <p>Right I'm off for a brew and BEDDYBYES before I actually do die, meeting one of my best friend tomorrow for lunch and Primark so need to recover for the inevitable horror that is Manchester Primark, urgh.</p> <p>Ta-ra (masalata)<br> Gem x </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/04/09/sold_my_soul_for_a_little_white_pill~2061311/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>drugsdrinkingprimarkhangoverhttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/04/09/sold_my_soul_for_a_little_white_pill~2061311/#commentshttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/04/08/covered_in_cellophane~2053302/tag:gemblebee.blog.co.uk,2007-04-08:/2007/04/08/covered_in_cellophane~2053302/Sun, 08 Apr 2007 11:42:44 +0200 <p>...this boy can't swim he's wearing too many skins I hope he sinks til he forgets everything...dreamt up the lies that would hold him together then realised those he lied to were cleverer left on the side they have long since rejoined him back in the fold with the thoughts that would weigh him down...this boy can't swim he's carrying too many sins...</p> <p>...when you're creeping up the back stairs mother's nightmares falling in the front door my my climbing in the window get dressed let's go take your brother's car keys bye bye...</p> <p>AAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH</p> <p>Sorry no word for a couple of days... been madness...<br> can't even write now, have the parents in law coming round this afternoon and I have to prepare for going out tonight - it's been that long since we went clubbing 5've forgotton how!

It's Sonic SAbbath tonight at Essential and Bootie Luv are playing live! We are SO there! ALthough whether we'll last til 7am is debatable, if there's no drugs involved there's no chance, we can tell we're getting old now that we can't last past midnight on alcohol alone!

And I still can't get over how crap most women are at finding the right sized bra, it really isn't that hard to figure it out! I'd love to have a reduction in a way, it's so hard to get bras - the only place I can go is bravissimo and they only do a limited number of bras up to my cup size, and then they cost at least £25 each! How I long to get a primark bra for a fiver... ah well.</p> <p>I love the strawbridges off 'not easy being green' - proper country folk I love them! Hmm that sounds a bit random doesn't it?

You might have all heard of it but it's this website freecycle.org where there are local groups and you can join up, and it's sort of like ebay but everything is free, it's just for people who want to get rid of stuff they can't be bothered to sell or don't think is worth anything, and people who want bits and pieces but maybe can't afford to buy them new. It's really good actually go and have a look, do your bit for the less fortunate and the environment too!</p> <p>Love ya!<br> Gem x (yeah only the one this time, don't get cocky...) </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/04/05/hello_have_i_quite_finished~2039147/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>recylclingreducereusefreecyclehttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/04/05/hello_have_i_quite_finished~2039147/#commentshttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/04/05/you_must_have_been_a_dance_commander~2039136/tag:gemblebee.blog.co.uk,2007-04-05:/2007/04/05/you_must_have_been_a_dance_commander~2039136/Thu, 05 Apr 2007 17:02:08 +0200 <p>Let's get this party started - right?<br> I went to the store to get more FIRE to start the war...</p> <p>Sorry, problems with not writing lyrics as I'm listening to music and writing at the same time...</p> <p>Bit early for me today this isn't it? I haven't really done anything yet! Except for finding the 2 most beautiful dresses in the universe that I NEED, but they are from french connection (so not cheap) and they only go up to a 16 (I'm an 18!) argh. They are loose fitting so I reckon it'd be worth trying them but, oh I don;t know.</p> <p>I'm having a weird day, been wondering whether we should get rid of one of our dogs. I just don't know if she's settling in all that well and think maybe she might be better off somewhere else... I dunno, but I feel really bad to think she could be happier elsewhere and yet keeping her here with us... going to need a lot more thought on this one.</p> <p>TAKE THE TINY CRABS AND WE PLACE THEM IN OUR EYES</p> <p>Sorry.</p> <p>God I feel WEIRD I can't quite figure out what's up with me. I ate a whole packet of iced buns today. Why did I do that? They're essentially rubbish just a bit of bread with cheap icing, but once I started I couldn't finish! I felt so bad, I had to ring Matt and leave him a message confessing my disgraceful behaviour I'm so embarrassed! I dunno when he'll be home tonight.... bleurgh.</p> <p>I'm listening to Electric 6 if you didn't recognise those lyrics - haven't listened to this album for YEARS and had forgotton how good it is! This one's called 'naked pictures of your mother' hmm it's actually very good though. Strange strange FIRE IN THE DISCO!</p> <p>I might write again later if I think of anything of interest to say - 2 blogs in one day? It can't be done! - I hear you gasp! Well maybe you're right. I'm probably far too lazy. No more exciting emails from those mad people sadly, I think my begging for them to keep sending them has done the trick in getting them to piss off! Still waiting to hear off ebay but to be honest I don't even care if they kick me off - I'm going to close that account anyway in protest if they uphold these idiots complaints. I have another account anyway my original one that I've had for 8 years, I was only using my husbands one because he happened to be logged in when I went on to find some stuff and like I said, lazy, god to lazy to even reiterate my point properly ANYWAY it's irrelevant ear elephant.</p> <p>Laters sweet yam potaters,<br> Gem x X (EXTRA kiss today - just for you!) </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/04/05/you_must_have_been_a_dance_commander~2039136/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>clothestiny-crabselectric-6fireshoppingebaymusichttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/04/05/you_must_have_been_a_dance_commander~2039136/#commentshttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/04/04/they_say_i_m_mental_but_i_m_just_confuse~2035252/tag:gemblebee.blog.co.uk,2007-04-04:/2007/04/04/they_say_i_m_mental_but_i_m_just_confuse~2035252/Wed, 04 Apr 2007 23:34:06 +0200 <p>Well hello.</p> <p>I had to share this with you, you know that twat on ebay who's been giving me all the hassle? Well my way of dealing with it has been responding to their increasingly nasty and angry emails with very calm and measured ones to keep the upper hand. I've got totally sick of it now to the point where it's just making me laugh - I mean it is SO ridiculous! In my last message to them I asked them to stop using so many inappropriate apostrophes as it really does my head in (I said it really polite just to wind them up, I know it's wrong of me...) and this was what I got back:</p> <p>"You,,,,,,think,,,,,you,,are,,,clever,,,contacting,,,me,,,, through,,,,???/<br> email,,,,,and.,.,.not.,.,through,.,.,.,.ebay,,,,,,,,...<br> you...have,,,violated,,,ebay's,,rule's,,and,,both,of,,these<br> ,,,have,,been,,,fowarded,,to,,,ebay..You,talk,about,the,english,<br> ,language,your,,spelling,,is,,much,,to, be,desired,,BETWEEN,<br> ,you,,fool's,bye--bye.GOODBYE,Actually,,You,,only,,had,,<br> to,,pay,,for,,the,,item,,that,,you,,won.I..WOULD,,HATE,,TO,,LIVE,<br> ,NEXT,,TO,,YOU,,TWO..FREAK'S.....@@''''~~~##"</p> <p>WHAT THE? Hahahahahahaha it's not just me is it? These people are completely mental? The bloke (who's a copper) even got his wife to email on his behalf to tell me to stop harrassing him! Anyway I've emailed them now and asked them not to stop sending me the emails as they are so hilarious and I haven't laughed so much in ages, and thanked them for all the free entertainment and suggested they charge for it. I mean, come on, it really isn't me this is it? And it IS pretty bloody funny. They've been on ebay for 2 months and got 20 (count it, 20) feedback so think they are the bollocks! Not a clue, seriously! Ah well, at least as I said to them my conscience is clear, I've done nothing wrong and it isn't my fault if the payment is lost in the post, and I believe in karma so I know everyone will get what they deserve in the end! I will have to put up here some more of the ridiculous emails I've had, it seems selfish to keep the joy to myself! Ooh here's one:</p> <p>"I have not been in any way rude or had an attitude with you.You are taking thing's way out of context.You are clearly a very angry person who presume's everyone has an attitude.I do not give a dame about you all I will say is if you posted payment to us we would have had it.You seem to try and twist thing's to your advantage and it is not going to work.You were the one who has caused this,you were the one in control of the sending out of the payment not us.You say you sent a cheque no 12 to be precise,then you say a postal order so what is it to be.I have used postal order's before and there is more number's then just no 12.You say you are going to check with the post office? What is the outcome then.You are the one clearly in the wrong here not us.I REST MY CASE.GO AWAY PLEASE"</p> <p>See what I mean about the apostrophes? HOW annoying? Didn't these people go to school?<br> Ok one more for today, it is true that I have a mental illness but she does not know this and therefore this makes this following email really quite sick - you wouldn't get away with it if it was a racist thing you know what I mean?:</p> <p>"I am Murray's wife and I am getting fed up now with your behaviour and harressment do you have a mental health problem or something else.You fail to mention that Murray has 21 positive feedback's and he has been pushed to the limit with your behaviour.The bottom line is you have not paid for this item because if you had we would have had your payment by now.All this would have been avoided if you had just admitted that you had changed your mind and no longer wanted the item.I can assure you we are not hard up for £11.00.I am asking you to stop emailing Murray now as your last three email's have been fowarded on to ebay for investigation.This conclude's my contact with you,just let ebay sort this out."</p> <p>Ah, what a life. They obviously don't have a fulfilling sex life. But I do haha! So there.</p> <p>Sorry everyone, I'm sure you really couldn't care less but it makes me feel better to share it with you guys! And it is pretty amusing reading, dontcha think?</p> <p>Aside from that I have no gnus today really... I got some jeans from dot perkins online which came today and god damn it they're too short! So I have to go and exchange them LIKE I CAN BE ARSED oh well I need to get some gesso and glue anyway I suppose. Ho hum.</p> <p>Right I'm off to bed now, bit late today aren't I?<br> Hope you are all well, I got more friends on here than in the real world <img src="/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif" alt=":'(" class="middle" border="0"> tear. Not really! Well, yes actually that is true, but I'm not sad about it, I'd have more friends if I left the house occasionally but that requires effort so sod it.</p> <p>Why sit with your back to the view?<br> Gem x </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/04/04/they_say_i_m_mental_but_i_m_just_confuse~2035252/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>wrathebayemailsslothtwatangerhttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/04/04/they_say_i_m_mental_but_i_m_just_confuse~2035252/#commentshttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/04/03/jesus_died_for_somebodys_sins_but_not_mi~2028942/tag:gemblebee.blog.co.uk,2007-04-03:/2007/04/03/jesus_died_for_somebodys_sins_but_not_mi~2028942/Tue, 03 Apr 2007 22:42:02 +0200 <p>God, I can't even be bothered to write today I'm FAR too angry! Bloody twat on ebay has issued a no paying bidder strike against me after 10 days, but the postal order was sent last week and I ain't sending another coz I can't cancel it and he'll end up with twice the price! Another seller who I bought a dress off on the same day and sent the postal order the same time is fine about it, as she understands how crap the post is AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH it make so so fucking angry! WHy do these people exist, is it just to try to destroy me? I tell you it's a good job I don't know where he lives... and to add insult to injury he seems to think that because he is a policeman that automatically makes him the innocent party blah blah - err, I would have assumed the opposite, no?</p> <p>Anyway, deep breaths, count to ten etc. Do you know I don't even care anymore, it's so ridiculous and blown out of all proportion! But then I can't let the tosser win can I? Oooooooooh. Arse.</p> <p>Other news... there is no other news, my mind is simply a blinding red mist, nay FOG! And I have a sore throat which is bollocks. None stop fun my end, bet you wish you were here heh heh!</p> <p>Oh, please someone enlighten me about the squid molesting? I think I may be going mad (going? GOING??) Was it me that started it?

I am tired tired tired, spent most of today moving furniture about while the dogs were out the way, and buying stuff off ebay - oops! Bless the woofs, they went MENTAL when we arrived to pick them up! They then proceeded to lick me all the way home, then went outside to check the perimeter and piss everywhere before running around like, well like mad dogs! It was pandemonium but nice to have things back to normal (whatever that is) it was too calm and quiet without them!</p> <p>I've been all inspired by our trip to Cornland so I've been sorting out all my bits and pieces today. I want to go to hobbycraft, I just found out there's one in Chester so I may have to pay a visit next time we go visiting our families, ooh imagine all the magical things they must have there....wonderment...</p> <p>Can't think of anything else to write today, too much other stuff on mind that I don't want to share with the likes of you! Haha not that you'd find it remotely interesting!</p> <p>What's the deal with the squid molesting? I put it as a tag on one of my first blogs quite randomly and I don't know why, and since then have noticed a number of other blogs with the same tag... am I missing something here? Did I start it or was it something I picked up with my psychic powers? I didn't even read any other blogs or anything before I started! How odd. Anyone who can enlighten me, please do!</p> <p>You'll never get surprises living in Devizes.<br> Gem x </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/04/02/you_tease_and_you_flirt_and_you_shine_al~2022053/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>dogselvis-costellowurzelssquid-molestercraftsarthttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/04/02/you_tease_and_you_flirt_and_you_shine_al~2022053/#commentshttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/04/01/we_re_waxing_down_our_surfboards_we_can_~2015697/tag:gemblebee.blog.co.uk,2007-04-01:/2007/04/01/we_re_waxing_down_our_surfboards_we_can_~2015697/Sun, 01 Apr 2007 19:39:28 +0200 <p>Hey there, how the hell have you been?</p> <p>I had a magnificent time in the land of corn, saw some lovely houses and went for a nice drive about, went to see my friend and had a bloody good old natter! Had a nice dinner in one of our favourite restaurants, and had out fave lunch of cyderman's salad and chips at the Cyder Farm! Also couldn't resist bringing home a barrel of Rattler... mmm them Cornish really know their onions! Or apples, rather!</p> <p>It's funny really, it's a 5 hour drive or so each way and we weren't even there for a full 24 hours but somehow it seemed we'd been there for ages, I guess because we fitted so much in. And I always forget how much warmer it is down there, you really do feel it! Ah. Am I gushing? It was so nice to spend some time alone as well, just the two of with with no distractions of every day life like work, or dogs!</p> <p>We put them in kennels for the first time... as we drove up it was Vivienne who started barking first! Made me laugh. When we put them in the kennel Viv ran straight back out and Pavlov was hanging onto me and whimpering, poor bastard he thinks we're abandoning him I'm sure! It's funny, I don't really miss them and I'm really appreciating the calm and quiet, but still I can't wait to see them again tomorrow! Well buggers as they are they're still my little babies and I love them more than is healthy! I should post a picture up actually dunno if I've got a recent one... check back to my media next few days I'll try to stick one up there.</p> <p>I'm feeling very inspired at the moment so hopefully I'm going to have a creative week and be really productive, I think I'll get to work on my art diaries as they have been somewhat abandoned of late... I also have pictures to paint and photos to send to people, and ebay stuff to package and send - argh! Wow I'm busy! I best get off t'internet and get on with it then eh?</p> <p>I believe you've been expecting me?<br> Gem x </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/04/01/we_re_waxing_down_our_surfboards_we_can_~2015697/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>holidaysartcornwallhttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/04/01/we_re_waxing_down_our_surfboards_we_can_~2015697/#commentshttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/03/30/bats_in_the_belfry_1_2~2005387/tag:gemblebee.blog.co.uk,2007-03-30:/2007/03/30/bats_in_the_belfry_1_2~2005387/Fri, 30 Mar 2007 20:39:04 +0200 <p>Hey ya! He-ey ya!</p> <p>Finally went shopping! And bought loads of things and ah, it was wonderful!!</p> <p>It is now half 8 in the evening and I'm still waiting for Matt to get home from work, then we'll have tea, watch telly, then have to pack and stuff ready to go to Cornwall in th morning! Stress!</p> <p>So I haven't got time to write anything today, sorry!</p> <p>Oh and I probably won't be able to write tomorrow as I won't be here! Ha-ha! So there! Apologies to all my fans I know you'll find it hard to cope without my fantabulous pearls of wisdom but hey, I have a life too you know! No I don't that is a lie, but to hell with it.</p> <p>See y'all soon, I'll have some scrumpy for you!<br> It's the Cornish way!</p> <p>Gem x </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/03/30/bats_in_the_belfry_1_2~2005387/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/03/30/bats_in_the_belfry_1_2~2005387/#commentshttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/03/29/spike_heels_and_skin_tight_jeans~2000034/tag:gemblebee.blog.co.uk,2007-03-29:/2007/03/29/spike_heels_and_skin_tight_jeans~2000034/Thu, 29 Mar 2007 21:27:57 +0200 <p>Yo yo yo!</p> <p>Not much to say today! That may be a first...</p> <p>My dogs have become increasingly clever in their subterfuge, I have had to put their toy box on the highest shelf and withold all treats to try and make them eat their boring food. I had to give them pedigree puppy pouches for a while when we ran out of their normal super healthy organic additive free dry food and now since we've put them back on it they are holding a starvation protest, little bastards. I managed to get them to eat today only by hand feeding them every single piece of kibble, which frankly I cannot be arsed with plus it only reinforces their inflated sense of self-importance. Why didn't I just get a hamster?</p> <p>I ate a bag of flying saucers today - wow how nice are they? I'd forgotten, they look so crap just a bit of papery stuff with cheap sherbet inside, but yum yum yum!</p> <p>Well I'm off to the shops tomorrow in le cite, how nice! I'm only meant to be buying a spring jacket and some skinny jeans and then doing another trip next week for summer basics and essentials, then waiting til Holly comes up hopefully next week to do all the fun shopping, and lunch dahlings of course! Maybe we'll go to Yo Sushi and have some overpriced wet FISH! Haha! Probably not.</p> <p>Why are people buying those anya hindmarch bags on ebay for up to £400? Are they mental? Number one, it goes on sale in sainsbury's next week so wait and see if you can get one then for a fiver before looking on ebay, number two - so many sad people are going to have them that it'll hardly be worth the bother, it's not a cool bag if everyone has one is it? No.</p> <p>Also, I have now seen pictures of Kate Moss's line for Topshop. As I predicted, 'tis shite. It's not that it's particularly bad, but it's not particularly good either. There's just nothing special about it, nothing to make it stand out or look in any way better than your usual topshop fare. People will buy it just because it has her name on it which frankly is the most tragic thing I can think of. Ok maybe not as tragic as the Madonna for H&M line. Do you know even the giles deacon at new look range isn't all that great, I like the polka dot dress, black pocket slouch dress and perspex bangle, everything else looks so cheap and nasty, especially those bloody tiger pendants everybody keeps harping on about. NASTY. And Nat agrees with me so we must be right, deal with it.</p> <p>Right, time for a brew so I'm off, thought of quite a bit to say in the end didn't I?<br> TTFN!<br> Gem x </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/03/29/spike_heels_and_skin_tight_jeans~2000034/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>fashionshoppingdogshttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/03/29/spike_heels_and_skin_tight_jeans~2000034/#commentshttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/03/28/lives_in_a_stable_drinking_black_label~1994317/tag:gemblebee.blog.co.uk,2007-03-28:/2007/03/28/lives_in_a_stable_drinking_black_label~1994317/Wed, 28 Mar 2007 22:19:59 +0200 <p>I'm so proud of myself today! I went to Tesco on my own again, stuck to my budget, and even managed not to buy any My Little Pony's even though they were on buy one get one free and they had beautiful new ones I hadn't seen before! Are you impressed? I should point out that I am actually 25 before you all start thinking I'm some sort of weird child, but happen to have an unhealthy toy obsession. I do collect some more grown up 'designer' toys like qees and stuff but ponies hark back to my childhood. I had loads, they were really the only toys I had as we weren't exactly well off, but as a teenager I decided I'd outgrown them and sold them all! So when I reached my 20s I was suddenly like 'what the fuck was I thinking?' and started collecting them again! Problem is I was only intending to buy back all the ones I used to have as a child, and the 90s versions were hideous loathsome things anyway, and then a few years ago they re-vamped them so they're more like they used to be and of course I can't resist! I have nearly 200 now but still many many more to go. Need to start saving up now for October's ponycon actually...</p> <p>God how sad am I! Well I never said I wasn't a geek did I? Well if I did I was lying!</p> <p>Finally saw Nat today and spent the best part of 2 hours discussing shopping and planning our next expeditions, plus clubbing for next week, at last I have my life back! It may sound a shallow life, dominated by shopping and dancing with gay men, but dahlings I'm an artist! I need to treat my soul to these things to keep inspired! That may just sound like a lame excuse but... well, it is. But do you know what? I don't give a shit!</p> <p>Anyway Nat got me a fabulous magnet from Egypt, I will have to take a picture and post it up, but it's still not outdone the one from Lanzerote! She's set the bar very, very high with these ones...</p> <p>Right I'm off, shopping bible to work on...</p> <p>...wouldn't wanna be ya!<br> Gem x </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/03/28/lives_in_a_stable_drinking_black_label~1994317/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>http://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/03/28/lives_in_a_stable_drinking_black_label~1994317/#commentshttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/03/27/hey_you_i_dont_like_your_girlfriend~1986249/tag:gemblebee.blog.co.uk,2007-03-27:/2007/03/27/hey_you_i_dont_like_your_girlfriend~1986249/Tue, 27 Mar 2007 17:35:35 +0200 <p>She's like so whatever you could do so much better!</p> <p>Oh ho ho hello!</p> <p>Good news today, hubby's got an interview for his dream job, so that's nice!</p> <p>We're off to Cornwall in April, but we might take a sojourn down this weekend if we can, been away too long! As soon as it gets sunny like today I'm all like AAAAAh I want to be in Cornland! So fickle.</p> <p>Actually I feel I should get this clear: I'm not actually Cornish, I'm Welsh, born in the south (Carmarthenshire) and lived mainly in the north (Wrexham), spent a year in Stoke and left first chance I got to go to Manchester. Lived there for 4 years, got married, back to Wrexham for 6 months, then Cornwall which was a lifetime ambition but only managed to stay there 18 months before returning to Manchester 9 months ago. So I'm a bit confused about where home is right now!!!</p> <p>I went to McDonalds today and had some nuggets - I'm rubbish at being anti capitalist but I was bloody hungry, and since I'd walked all the way down to the shops to get a tv license with a raging fever I figured I deserved it!</p> <p>I got my dogs one of those balls that makes weird noises when you roll it about and you can put treats in - I tell you it's the best investment I ever made! Kept them occupied for hours and I hadn't even put any treats in! Genius!</p> <p>I hope everyone reading this is feeling as positive about the future as I am right now. I haven't felt this good about stuff for so long, I don't know why I do now - maybe it's just the pills that are doing it but hell, whatever it is it works for me, I just wish I'd figured it out a long time ago!</p> <p>Peace light and love<br> Gem x </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/03/27/hey_you_i_dont_like_your_girlfriend~1986249/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>lifehttp://gemblebee.blog.co.uk/2007/03/27/hey_you_i_dont_like_your_girlfriend~1986249/#comments
