The World of Siân

As a personal challenge and part of lent, I have decided to give up crisps. To most people this wouldn’t appear that hard, however with me, crisps are like other people’s addiction and craving for chocolate. I can’t remember a time where I haven’t had crisps and they haven’t been in my life (dear me I am making them sound like a person). When I was in school I used to have up to 4 packets of crisps a day!!!! Since I’ve gotten older I have cut down on that amount. I am surprised I am not really that fat. When I was eating these 4 packets a day I was training about 3-4 times a week in Badminton, so I think I just burned it off. The first day without crisps yesterday went fine. I didn’t crave them at all and I was ok at lunch time as well when I normally have my packet of the day. Today is proving a bit harder. I would like to have a packet but I will say NO. One of the guys in work was ever so cruel and took two packets of crisps and waved them either side of my head, saying I ...

Well it’s been a while since I have been bored enough in work to type down the mundane thoughts that have been going through my head. I am not as such bored in work today, as in the fact I have practically done all my work and there is not much left for me to do so I am trying to drag out the last few things over today and tomorrow. I have as well found myself attached. Yes, even with my cynical ways, I have managed it. This guy at the moment is great but then we are in the honeymoon period as we have only been seeing each other for just over 3 months. I think give it time and we shall see. As previously stated if we are still together after 4 years then I shall be able to comment. For the time being he is brilliant, albeit several years younger than me, there is a lot to be said for the younger man. They have a lot more energy, are more daring and a lot more interesting. Also it means that you can act younger as well and they can introduce you to new things that you might have...

I have just been sat here thinking, whilst I work obviously (I am a woman and can multi task), why do your non-single friends always say the same thing ‘don’t worry you’ll find someone when you least expect it, and you know when they’re the one’ complete rubbish. I mean it is very easy for them to say as they are with someone and everything is hunky dory. I was with ‘the’ ex for 6 ½ years do they not think I thought that he was the one. We had planned our wedding, what we were going to call our kids even the name of our sodding dog for crying out loud. I know that we got together young but still that is no reason not to think they are the one. They have only been in their relationships for about 3 years; I think they can comment when they have been with them a lot longer. I firmly believe it takes you 3 years to get to know someone properly and then you can make your mind up and see how you live with them, with the mundane and nothing surprising you about them anymore and that ta...

All of my friends are now in a relationship of some sort and I am left the only sad single one, and to rub that in just a bit more my friend who is getting married has placed me on the singles table. Not that I mind entirely as I would do the same if I had sad single friends as its cheaper than asking them to bring a guest. I firmly believe that I am going to be alone and become the nasty cat woman you hear so often about. I am also going to get myself a walking stick or otherwise known as a beating stick, with a sharp point on the end. This is so I can beat naughty children with and also if their footballs dare to come onto my land I will stab it with my stick, bwhahahahahahaaaaaaa. I think this is already coming into place as yesterday I told off one of the children in my street last night. I was driving home and got into my street, I was most annoyed as I had spent an hour on a coach for a 20min journey as the damn trains weren’t running again. Anyway, I drove down and some c...

It is the end of January already, and while I am freezing in my office my grandparents are on a cruise around the world. They are at this moment in Honolulu. I am hoping that I can look forward to an old age like them. This year is going too quickly for me already. Ah well, I have nothing to complain about I suppose. Apart from the dreaded Valentines Day is approaching and my first one where I am single in years. I am not sure whether to jump for joy or slit my wrists, joyful that I haven’t got to spend any money or sad because I am all alone in this cruel world. I think I shall concentrate on the first option. Well just doing some research and lo and behold Valentines Day originated from Rome. Typical another thing the ever so helpful Romans did for us.
