I got home last night to find 2 things:

1/ Shell had cooked. Cheese and Potato Pie topped with Bacon and Tomato. It was great! She kept apologising for it and saying that she couldnt cook. She is wrong. She isnt wrong often, but she was wrong about that :)

2/ That our ex-housemate Pete (the one that married my ex-) came round yesterday and took everything of his from the house. Including the chairs, etc that he had lent us. And the tumble drier that I wanted to buy from him.

The lounge is now devoid of any seating. Which is both good and bad.

Good Thing: I can now clean the room properly and buy some of my own furniture.
Bad Thing: I don't have any money to buy anything!

Shell and I cleaned the downstairs room and moved my massive settee from the kitchen to the new lounge. Then we put a TV stand in there in preparation for another TV I am getting. So we do have somewhere to sit in the meantime.

So I now have a new shopping list of things to get for the house:
Dining table and chairs (Tim's mum may be donating a table)
2x Two Seater Sofas (for the main lounge)
Tumble Drier
Cheese grater (as Shell needed one yesterday)

I'm sure there is more, but I can never remember what they are.

With regard to lists, I was asked yesterday to provide the following 2 items here on my site:

i) A List of Things To Do Before I Die
ii) A List of Things I Will Bequeath To People

Not that anyone is being morbid or wants my CD collection or DVD collection or anything. Basts!

What a weekend. I didn't see the kids, I did put the phone down to Bimbo on Sunday as she was pissing me off. I am annoyed.

The situation with the kids has caused some grief between me and Shell. She doesnt want the hassle, and I dont want her to have the hassle. It isn't her fight and yet Bimbo is involving her. I wish someone would give her a smack in the face.

Apparently, I think Chandler isnt mine. Thats what she said on Sunday. I have never thought that, let alone said it! She always brings it up and then acts all coy about it, saying that I have said it when I patently haven't! Aaargh - it makes my blood boil. I said yesterday that I would pay for a DNA test to prove he is mine. She then turned round and said "But you really want to prove he isnt!". No you stupid fat ***** ****, I want to prove to you that he is so that you will shut the fuck up about it, once and for all.

And apparently, I locked my daughter in a dark room until she agreed that she didnt want her surname changed. Everyone (bar some of the mental patients I know - ie Bimbo) will realise what a lie that is. Last year she accused me of having an affair with her mother and abusing Rhiannon (as well as Chandler not being mine). Now its all mental/emotional abuse of Rhiannon and that Chandler isnt mine (again).

Well, lets see what happens when we play hardball. I'm fed up of pussy-footing around the whole situation and letting her muck my kids around. Things are going to get shitty and I'm the one thats going to do the shitting. People (family) have offered financial support if I want to go for custody or anything. Both my family and her family. Does that tell you something?

On an un-related note, a couple of links for the day to cheer us all up:

Ask The Mysterious Orb a Yes or No Question here

Send an Anti-Valentines Day card

You know people write walkthroughs for adventure/platform games, etc? Well, here is one for the worst platformer ever created. I present The Ikea Walkthrough



I am Little Nellie - Which James Bond Vehicle Are You?
Take the James Bond Car Quiz

Have a good day.

A few links for today.

According to this article, semen acts as an anti-depressant. Doesnt mention anything about tests on taking it orally though...

Even needed to generate a load of text to test your website? Check this out. It creates paragraphs from title tunes from childrens TV shows. Cool

The Palindrome List - erm. A list of palindromes. What else?

Toms Hardware managed to get a PC running at 5Ghz by cooling the CPU with liquid nitrogen down to -190 degrees. Niice, but reasonably impractical for the home.

So. Feeling a little better today. Not greatly. I came home last night and got upset by seeing hair clips and toys around the house. I think I will call later and talk to the kids, just to let them know I'm still here and I love them regardless.

I am also annoyed with myself - greatly. On my A4000T, I have been using a program called FACTS. This program updates the clock using NTP. Except that on my setup it crashes a lot. It normally takes 4 reboots before it will work.
Then a few days ago, I was mucking around the settings in AmiTCP and there was an option to set the time using an NTP server on startup. Aarggh! So I'm using that now and everything is much better. How annoying!

Gotta get car tax today (if I manage to get the post office in time). Plus I need to clean the downstairs lounge and move some more stuff around the house. Pete is meant to be coming around later to get some stuff out of the garage, so when he calls I'll ask him why I cant see my kids. Seems a fair trade, his stuff in the garage vs access to my kids. Not that I'm desperate to see them or anything :(

And, as predicted, its all started again.
Bimbo just called and said that Rhiannon was having a benny about coming with me at the weekend. So, as she doesnt want to come, I haven't got them this weekend. I can feel it all happening again and I'm scared, so very scared. I didnt get Chandler the last weekend I was supposed to have them, didnt see them last Friday like I was meant to and now I'm not having them this weekend :(

I'm crying at my desk and I want my kids...

Typical really. I wrote a Haiku yesterday about them. Here it is. I'm really not feeling very good now.

My girl Rhiannon
And my sunshine boy Chandler
Without, My heart bleeds

Bear in mind that I wrote that yesterday, along with the ones below. My mind plays hideous tricks on me, or I have premonitions.

Life, etc
The bitch she changes
Beloved access at a whim.
So contact order.

My best friend Peter
Involves himself with madness.
I despair at him.

Plus I wrote some about Shell...

Love
Heart beat and quicken
For she has walked in the room
With a smile for me.

In every night
I find solace in my Shell
Saves me from sadness

Earlier I was searching for Haiku on the net and came across a most interesting site. Check out the First Church of Shatnerology.

People (and by people, I include myself) have far too much time on their hands.

Some cool stuff though:-
The disclaimer at the base of this page is excellent. And the idea is good too :)

I like this idea. I might start something similar, as several of mates have little sayings that are cool.

Can you feel it? Slowly creeping up on you, day by day, until suddenly it bites your head off and completely ruins your afternoon? No? Shut up then.

Had a bad afternoon yesterday, which degenerated into name calling over somebody else's mistake. So I went home instead (to Shells) and spent several hours watching Buffy. Which was good.

For possibly the bizarrest story go and visit BlogJam. Excellent.

Shell is attending the funeral of her great-grandmother today. I hope it all went OK and her crazy gran (Jean) didnt throw a wobbler :(

I collected a parcel from the sorting office this morning, on my way to work. It contained some DVDs from DVD Pacific. Buffy Season 4, Finding Nemo, May, Return of the Pink Panther and another one. I'm not buying any more DVDs or anything this month - nothing. I spent far too much the past 3-4 months, so its time to hold fire for a while and get it all back under control.

I have added something to my List of Things To Do Before I Die (in fact I dont have a list, so this is really the first entry, but I didnt want to appear anal)...

Awesome

So where the hell is Cedar Point? And there are 15 others there as well. I need to go there. Now!

EDIT: Sandusky, Ohio apparently. That helps, but not a huge amount :)

I'm sorry. But What the fuck?. Its been a problem I have spent many a sleepless night worrying about... oh dear!

A ski-jumping game can be found here. Its, erm, different.

Uh-oh!

And a load of Quizilla ones for us all to enjoy:
What Drink Are You?

You like it fast and strong and you drink for one reason: to get piss-ass drunk!
Congratulations!! You're a shot of some good old hard liquor!

Which Major Romantic Poet Would You Be (if You Were a Major Romantic Poet)?

You are Samuel Taylor Coleridge! The infamous archangel a little damaged! Youtook drugs and talked for hours, it's true, but you also made a conscious choice to cultivate the image of the deranged poet in a frenzy of genius. You claimed you wrote "Kubla Khan" in an afternoon after a laudanum, when you pretty manifestly did no such thing. You and your flashing eyes and floating hair. And your brilliant scholarship and obvious genius.

What 80s Song Fits You?

Sweet Dreams (by Eurythmics)
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

And finally - pictures of girls with sandwiches. Just don't ask. I have no idea where I find this stuff - but find it I do. Thanks to several weird people on the net for those. Sheesh!
