The World of Siân

Ok so it’s been heavy rain here for weeks, so I thought I would finally invest in some wellies. I thought there is a need for them considering mostly when it is heavy rain I am walking to or from work and get drenched. My jeans become like sponges and soak up all the water from the pavements within a certain diameter of where each leg is and I leave a trail of dry pavement behind me. So at the Eisteddfod the other week (yes, I was being cultural), I went into one of the hippy type clothing stores and there were some delightful wellies. Needs must, as I was also up to my knees in mud as trust me I went on the wettest day of the Eisteddfod. So I donned my wellies and was very pleased with myself. I have however tempted fate and it has been dry every time I have had to walk to work. I have found myself yearning for a heavy down pour and me to be stuck in it with my wellies. The time came this morning, I was walking to work and it had been dry all the way until I was 2mins from the d...

Ok Today is not a Wednesday but a Thursday, much better. I am alone in the office all day, I find this most boring as not only do I have no one to chat to, and I have no motivation to do any work. Also I can not browse the Internet as it’s not working, much to my annoyance. Damn, I don’t think I have any rambling’s to put down either!!!!!!! What am I going to do?!?!?!?! Why didn ’t anyone tell me that as soon as you have a car you never have any money? It’s true and I would warn anybody thinking of buying a car that once this is done there is no going back as it seems a necessity and that you couldn ’t function without it. Thinking I was starting to get my finances back on track and my bank balance actually looking a bit healthier, POOF there goes the exhaust on my car, eeep !!!! So I decide to be very sensible and take it in to Kwik fit straight away. I get it there and not only does it need two parts of the exhaust done but also three new tyres and the tracking!!!!!! Soooo...

Aren ’t dreams weird? I had the most bizarre one yesterday whilst dozing. I dreamt that I was a Chinese MAN of all things, and I was running my own Chinese restaurant. Then a door swung open showing what looked like the yard behind the Chinese with two big skip bins. By the side of the bins were two men, I somehow had a gun in my hand and shot the two guys and then door swung shut and I carried on running the restaurant as if nothing had happened. I have no idea what this means at all. The shooting I can imagine is from the fact that his nibs was playing a computer game at the time where he was a hit man, but the whole Chinese thing, I have no idea. I am definitely one for crazy dreams though. When I was younger, about 5 or 6 I had a dream I was in school and everyone apart from me had one normal leg and one pig’s leg. I was trying to get out of the school playground but there were people everywhere with a pig’s leg. Even my best friend at the time appeared and asked why I did...

Well I must say it's an absolute delight to be able to eat crisps and I don't think there is anything wrong with it at all. My first packet was a delightful Roast Ox flavour by Real Crisps and then of course I had to try all the bizarre flavours doing the Walkers round. I will have to agree that the Onion Bhaji flavour is the best and tastes most like what it should. The builders breakfast is strange and you can definitely taste and smell the egg, I could also taste Sausage and tomato. The others are just really strange flavours and I am not sure I would recommend them at all. The Cajun Squirrel one is OK , but just tastes like curry spices rather than anything else, but then what would you expect them to taste like? At least now I can say that I have the will power to give something up, which I thought I never would lol.

We are in the final week of lent and I know it's gotten to me now. Last night I had a dream that I was eating crisps and worried as I had broken lent. I awoke in a cold sweat just to realise it was just a dream and it was Tuesday, with only 5 days left to go. I am planning on having a BIG HUGE bag of crisps. Any ideas yet on what flavour? Also any views on the new Walkers flavours, is there one I really shouldn't miss? I have heard the Builders Breakfast is good. Woop woop crips binging here I come!!!!!

Well, as I start coming into the last stretch of the mammoth task that came before me to give up crisps, I am pleased to say that the cravings for crisps started kicking in, about a week after I began. You might not think this is a long time but for me it is. I have still not eaten a crisp though, which I am very proud of and can't wait for Easter day when I will pig out on them. I have tried substituting crisps for other things, carrot sticks with a nice dip works well and even better salted popcorn. Nothing else works really :0( The difficulty now being what crisps and what flavour should I choose to break the crisp silent in my mouth and stomach? Any ideas? I long for the array of flavours and the crunchy texture as the wonder that is the crisp will cascade down my throat and swim in the delight of my stomach. I long for the tingle, taste bud explosion with mouthwatering sensation that you get from the salt and vinegar flavour. Or the heady dark aroma and taste of the Steak ...

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 ...
