Morning All,

Well it is Monday morning again and as usual I am wishing my life away to 4.55pm on Friday!

I think the Monday Morning Blues I am experiencing this morning are worse than normal because I am actually beginning to loathe my job at the Starship Enterprise. I hate it when my alarm goes because I know I am going to spend the next 9 hours of my life sat in front of a computer bored to tears. It’s horrendous. Anyone who has ever had a job they despised will fully appreciate how difficult it is to try and remain motivated and smiley when all you want to do is thrown your computer off the desk, rip the phone cord out of the wall and walk out whilst sending the perfectly stacked mountain of paper coffee cups flying.

It is time for a change.

Fortunately, I am waiting to hear back from another job, not in Ale Town, but in Noopsy Jungle. It would be perfect as I’d actually enjoy it, it’s more money, and nearer to home. So please cross your fingers for me.

Also a positive point, the mood I was in when I started writing this entry has now been elevated, hence the title of this entry has too changed. Whilst sat in this office (or as I prefer, Hell with Flourescent Lighting) listening to my iTunes, a song came on that instantly cheered me up. It was one that myself and a good friend used to sing to each other when the other one was upset or angry, stressed out or fed up. So my advice to anyone reading this, who is too sat at their office desk bored beyond belief and feelig generally fed up with life – stick on your iTunes as you never know what will brighten your day!

Lady S

Firstly may I apologise for taking so long to introduce myself, so rude of me, but it turns out despite being a lady of leisure at the moment the day seems to disappear to somewhere I have no idea where! Right so with that cleared up let me begin!

The background – I am a born and breed Noopsy Jungler, where let’s just say if there are 3 degrees of separation between you and the passer by on the street consider yourself lucky, to be blunt this is a home where your business is not only yours but your neighbours and the butchers down the road! This is one of the few reasons behind my current career break. In my previous role, at The Gossip Hub, in Noopsy Jungle, I gathered many humourous tales of goings on in the town, (run in’s with the police, falling into toys of an adult nature and ending up having tea in the kitchen with the mother of an infamous past one nighter all being some of the many happenings) which I loved for a time but then let’s just say it soon becomes your turn and well that can only play havoc with a girls social activity so it’s off to the big smoke for a fresh start at the Glass Cube (once my break is over!)

So who is Lady B, in a nutshell, I am your usual twenty something girl with a bad habit for being neurotic! I enjoy taking afternoon tea, salivating over/spending way too much on Chanel, I’m obsessed with Breakfast At Tiffany’s (seriously the book, dvd, vhs and special editions, can all be found Chez B) & all things Audrey and love love love making observations on life with none other than Lady S (I’m aware some people would class this as ‘bitching’ however  I refuse to use such a word as anything that passes our lips are simple facts) Oh & I love eating out/getting merry beyond belief on Pimms – but then again who doesn’t!

Today, in my constant struggle to become a domestic goddess, as opposed to being domestically challenged as I have been for the last 22 years, 3 months and 11 days, I attempted to make porridge. Needless to say I got bored half way through, didn’t read the instructions properly and ended up with a solid lump of stodge, no amount of sugar, fruit, honey, or whatever else is the norm to throw at it could turn this into something resembling breakfast. This will go down in Lady B’s Kitchen Disasters, Vol 3, along with the cheesecake that ended up covering the contents of my fridge and the soup which I gassed the house with. The posty delivered my new pair of wellies (understand I would not normally be excited about anything suggestive of rural living but they are quilted, as in the Chanel of a wellie and well I’ve explained my love of that already) so I stepped out in style with the hound. Lunch was a wimbledon special edition Krispy Kreme which managed to end up down my pristine white ensemble, if anyone knows of somewhere I can get an adult bib please email!! Then my afternoon has pretty much been taken up with the arduous task of weighing up the pros and cons of opting for the ‘treat’ option of a new work bag, as in an L.K Bennett or going for the ‘luxurious’ option of the Classic Chanel – it’s a tough life! At this point I seem to sound very materialistic and quite frankly shallow, so now is probably a good time to point out that I do normally have a bit more depth/an actual life but having been thrust back into the terrifying kingdom known as singledom/new jobdom I figure if a gal can’t take her eye off the serious life for a while now and treat herself when can she!! Normal service shall resume soon (ish)

Pleasure to meet you all,

Lady B

Today, something rather creepy happened to me.

On my lunch hour, as per usual I left the Starship Enterprise to head up into Ale Town to get some lunch. I also wanted to wander about the market (as it was Wednesday!) to get some fabric for my rat cage.

On my way up into Ale Town I saw a slightly crazy looking man heading towards me. He was around 80 years old, was wearing pink denim hot pants, a string vest and a floppy plastic fishermans hat. He was quite jumpy and was crashing into people he was passing (although I don’t think he was drunk!) so I steered clear as I walked past. But just as I did, he muttered my name under his breath, very slowly and calmly. I stopped and looked at him, and he gave me a toothless grin then pottered back off down the road. Needless to say I was FREAKED OUT!! Who was this man? How did he know my name? Was he some sort of being from another life who landed on Earth no more than 20 minutes before and had to raid the charity shop we had just passed for clothing?

Who knows. I certainly don’t.

Then to top it off, I bought some “this is not just soup, this is the creamiest, most deliciously home made soup you will ever eat” from a High Street Retailer who for legal reasons shall remain nameless. I got back to the Enterprise and heated it up in a microwave that is one up from death. All of my lovely colleagues use it on a daily basis to heat up frozen ready meal curries, then don’t bother cleaning it afterwards. So my deliciously overpriced soup came out smelling of chicken jalfrezi. Nice.

Well well well…Where do I begin?

I’ve heard that the beginning is a great place to start – so I’ll give that a go. I am Lady S. Myself and my great friend, Lady B, have decided to start blogging our trials and tribulations of everyday life. Our musings, thoughts, rants, adventures and down right strange experiences will all be quipped on this site and we hope to entertain, or strike chords with those readers who have had, or are having, similar experiences to ourselves.

So now you know what we’re doing here – perhaps a little about me. I live with my boyfriend in a town that shall be known as Noopsy Jungle. I work at an IT company (the Starship Enterprise) as Marketing Manager – which currently I hate. I have a fondess for rodents, so much so, I have two of my own (G&D) and they are beautiful. I spend my non-working hours catching up with friends, be it down the local watering hole or catching a movie in the next town over. I spend more money than I earn. I like mint and tea tree original source shower gel, custard creams and fluffy blankets.

For now that’s a snippet but no doubt more of my slightly crazy, overly neurotic, highly emotional and over zeleous self will be demonstrated as I put fingers to keyboard over the coming weeks.

I am sure Lady B will too be introducing herself shortly – she’s far more sane than my good self.
