…she said. Catty always “knows” someone from Big Brother. I’m sure I know him. Aye aye aye. But..
He’s only from KILWINNING!!!! (centre of the universe and home town of thekid) So she probably did his AVON or something.
Mikey to win!

I just spent the morning trawling through site after site looking for information on how to get a CD ROM visible as a boot device on Catty’s laptop, a Sony VAIO FPS115E, apparently. Everywhere reckons it can’t be done however….
Pressing F2 into the BIOS on start-up and navigating to the Boot tab gives us the options, something like floppy,optical,HD and network. CD ROM isn’t there, however, placing the hard disk as the last boot device(highlight the disk and press “-” until it’s at the bottom) then pressing the N key, then the D key, makes the system look for “devices not yet installed” or something.
This seems to make the CD bootable.
Now, I’m off to finish installing Linux on it…..
Catty gave me the day off today. Said I can have a whole day to myself to do whatever I want to do.
Not used to such freedom I’ve found myself playing tetris on the N64 and awaiting her return from Asda to issue further instruction. I just wasn’t designed to think for myself.
Last time I thought for myself I got into trouble. Apparently she doesn’t enjoy the tightness of a freshly tumble dried cardigan. (Although I much prefer the way it clings)
Well I’m not going to fall into that trap again. Like I always say, I’ll do whatever you want to do. That way I don’t get so many bruises.
What a pain in the arse this back to school shopping is.
What’s wrong with the bags they had last year?
How come I can’t get a new jacket?
Are you sure she’s not just getting them because they have flashing lights in the soles?
…and so on. It’s mental in town at the moment. Akin to the Christmas rush I think. On top of the stress of being in town with mentalist parents everywhere my car is off the road at the moment waiting on stuff from the states so we were BUSSING it! Gawdalmighty! That’s an effin nightmare. Ashley is 1 now so she just wants to be walking everywhere on her own, and no way will she sit at peace on the bus. Lucked out on the way in as she slept in her buggy - oh there’s another nightmare, First Aberdeen have decided to only let on one buggy at a time unless you fold it up. What a pain in the arse that is. It’s ok if she’s awake since she doesn’t want to sit in the buggy anyhow. If she’s asleep you’re screwed, depending on where you are getting on. At this end we are probably OK since the nearest stop is at the end of the line so you can be the first buggy on, but from town it’s not the end of the line. I could be waiting on busses for an hour. I don’t mind but there is enough room on them for two, sometimes three buggies if they aren’t too busy. There’s another thing, no matter how many people are on a bus the driver will stop at any stop for more! WTF!!! Dude, full means there’s no more space! 
I think I saw Jayne today too, wearing a brown coat she walked past the bus I was on in Loch Street.
Catty is on Call Out for her work too. Hasn’t had a call all week so far, guess when it rang… when we were in town! EUGHHHHH! Standing about while she tries to fix an oil rig from memory doesn’t work out too well for me! lol
Another disaster…. Had to pick up Billie-Jo from a party today, was told, Art Gallery 2:30. No problem get there at 2-ish, hang about ’til 2:30 but nobody else turns up, no other parents or anything. Bollocks, this is the art centre. Quick dash to the right place and we got her, only a few minutes late but still feeling like idiots!
Roll on next week.

We got our ballot papers through the other day which I was chuffed about as usual. Catty on the other hand uttered these words…
I don’t know anything about the election, who are you voting for and I’ll vote for them too?
WTF?!?! This means I essentially have two votes this election so here’s what I was thinking. Since my girlfriend has already made a mockery of the whole democratic system I can’t ignore it. I reckon I’ll offer this vote(mine is already safely in my do know anything about the election hands) on eBay or whatever to the highest bidder. Or, I might just add a poll here if I can work out how to do that and tell her to put her X in the winner’s box come polling day.
Whatcha think.

We’ve been doing our Christmas shopping recently and found that we need loads of batteries for all the kids toys. Catty bought them yesterday….
Today I stupidly told my work’mates’ at lunch: “Aye, she spent forty quid on batteries yesterday”. 
…I knew it as soon as I heard myself say it.
