I don't know where I left off, last time I posted, so here goes a busy update!

Ginny has doubled in size since I got her. She now shoots up my body like a climber on speed! I kid you not! I'm standing looking at myself in the hallway face mirror, doing my hair, and all of a sudden I have a kitten on my shoulder, looking at herself in the mirror as well. How vein is that? I know she's cute, but come on! lmao.

I'm still covered in cuts and scratches as well. The bigger she gets, the harder her nails get. I've got a plaster on a finger on my left hand from yesterday, where she drew blood just as I was shooting out the door last night. I was not amused lmao.

So, Saturday morning I got my arse out of bed, got dressed and ready, packed a bag, and went to college, to catch the coach to London.

I turned up at college at 1pm, to park in the car park, and Jos turned up at 1.40pm with the key. Me and this other guy (who we nicknamed Othello, because he looks like Lenny Henry's character) were stood outside forever, panicking thinking they would leave without us cause we were round back waiting in the alleyway with our cars, and everyone else was out front waiting for the coach lol.

Eventually Jos turns up, and we get on the coach, and head off about 2pm. With a brief stop over in Oxford, we pulled up at Trafalgar Square around 6pm.

We all split up. They said for everyone to stick together in groups, but fuck that I thought, i'd been in London enough times to know the place, and I love it there anyway, so I shot over the road, with a full bladder, as you do, to the Square, to take photos of the fountain and Christmas Tree. My digital camera is shit. It's great for daytime pics, but the flash isn't powerful enough for night-time pics, so I ended up using my mobile again, which doesn't even have a flash lol.

After about 20 mins of taking pics in the rain, with no jacket (cause i'm a fool and left it at home) I went to the pub to use their loo, completely missing a group of students in there, and Jos, then shot to MacDonalds, which is also opposite the theatre, and bought myself a quick snack. Then at 7pm we went back across to the theatre, and started piling in.

The theatre itself is very small inside, and you feel really close to the stage, unlike the Palladium, or other such huge theatres, this one is so cosy, for want of a better word. No curtains covering the stage either, and they had seating actually ON the stage, so peple could sit right by the performance. I thought to begin with that would be a good idea, but then I thought later, that not only do you miss half the action, due to you sitting where you are, and some of the action happens just off stage within the audience, but the lighting must make it really hot there too.

It was really weird how the production started. Unlike other productions where the curtain goes up and the show begins, here the lights go down, and the actors come out, just like it used to be I guess in the original Shakespearian days.

The production itself was really good. I'd seen Othello on DVD in class (we'd got to 3.3, ie halfway through) so most of us knew what happened part way already, and seeing it live only helped to understand it more, especially with the amazing acting that was happening before our eyes. The movie version we're watching stars Sir Ian McKellen as Iago, and he's brilliant in the part.

Many of us were really touched by the performances, and I for one actually had goose bumps during the most dramatic moments of Lenny Henry's scenes. He was fucking amazing as Othello. The guy can act, there is no doubt about it, and like most people, I wondered whether he could pull of Shakespeare, but Jesus Christ he can, and bloody well to boot!

So after an amazing performance, we all piled back into the coach, and headed back off to Brum again, via Oxford of course for another wee (no toilet on the coach) getting back into West Bromwich about 1.40am. I got home for 2am, and went straight to bed, knackered lol.

Sunday afternoon (yes you read that right) I woke up, and sat down to watch the night before's X Factor, and Strictly, before getting ready to go round my mate Shane's pad. We were off to Missing for the night, for Eric's Memorial Charity Do. We'd both been unlucky to miss his funeral, due to finances, so went to this instead.

I got to Shane's about 8.20pm, just in time to watch Danyl be voted off. I was gutted. I thought he was wicked. We chatted for an hour or so, before we headed for Missing.

Our chat was very informative and productive.

For one thing I learned that, get this, this is soooo funny, psycho ex Pinky has recently split up from her butch ex gf, and moved back to Brum, has changed her appearance AGAIN, and is now wearing full Asian attire, Sari et al, fuscia pink of course, no piercings apparently, and a large (larger than normal) red dot on her forehead! No doubt she's changed her name again as well, probably calling herself Samina, Samara, Sahera or some other such name she used to be known as. She was also seen with another woman dressed in the same attire (different colour, and normal sized red dot), and both were outside the building she used to live in. The moment she saw Shane, she shot off like a bolt of lightening up the road towards Fiveways with this other woman.

Pinky is like a Chameleon. She changes shape and colour to fit into a new background whenever she meets someone new, changing so she fits into their lifestyle, so they like her, which of course doesn't last long, because she soon gets bored, and the real her soon comes out, which is why she'll be single again before long. How the fuck she's got involved with an Asian bird is beyond me, and why she's wearing the whole Asian woman's attire, including headscarf, and she's shaved her head as well, and that it's all fuscia pink, so she still stands out like a sore thumb, it's just a joke. We had such a laugh about it, you wouldn't believe, I don't think i've laughed so much at the image in like ages. And she's still fat as well.

We joked that in a year's time, she's still gonna be an ugly fat bitch with holes in her face etc, and i'll have lost weight and be looking so much better after my gastric bypass op next year. It's just hilarity personified!

She's not supposed to be in that area anyway, due to the trouble she caused Shane (who lives there still) and me in the past, so the police have been notified of her reappearance, and she will be told to not go back to that area in the future! This also means The Jester will be a Pinky free zone, which is great news lmao.

So we headed for Missing, and managed to nab a seat at the front, grabbed some drinks, and enjoyed a night of cabaret. We just caught the end of Ritchie Catz performance, followed by the brilliant Marty (whom I adore, but then, you can't help but adore her), then Glamour, Kruger Sisters, Champagne Shirley and Miss Thunderpussy, as well as Miss Penny throughout. The entertainment was wicked.

However, there was this prat who started flirting round one of the Kruger Sister's later on, not Darren, the other one (who's name I don't actually know), and I could see he was really uncomfortable with this guy, but he soon disappeared. Then I went to the loo, only to come back down again and as I went to grab my glass of lemonade, I realised it had gone. The guys (Nev had turned up at this point) said to me, where's your drink Lisa. Then I saw the same guy who had been harrassing the Kruger Sister, drinking from what was obviously my glass. He put it down, saying it was his, I grabbed it back. He said it was his again, I said to the guys, is this my drink, for which they said yes, and stuck up for me when this guy tried to get my drink back off him, cheeky sod! Yes I kept drinking out of my glass, i'm not bloody made of money, and he'd only had a bit. Just hope I aint caught anything lol. He soon pissed off!

But unfortunately later on this other drunk twat at the end of the night, decided to go on stage and dance as Miss Penny was finishing off the evening with a rendition of a P!nk track for Eric. Miss Penny pushed him off stage, and he went back to his mate, standing next to me. Then I heard him say to his mate how funny it was at what just happened, and they continued to laugh, which upset me even more than when he jumped up to make a prat of himself, so I stood up and asked him why he'd just jumped up on stage, and didn't he realise this evening was to celebrate the life of a man who had recently passed away. He said he found the cabaret boring, and wanted to have a laugh, which made me feel even more upset and at that point angry as well. I said how dare he do that, that he was disrespecting the event and Eric's memory by his actions. I then sat down and carried on watching the show, but he kept getting in my face and wouldn't drop it. Things got heated when he started touching my shoulder, and I began to get more vocal, and Shane stepped in asking him to stop touching me, trying to push him away. I told Shane to leave it, saying he wasn't worth it. Then Miss Penny stepped in, not realising what was going on, and told us if we didn't stop, she'd get us all kicked out. I knew i'd done nothing wrong, so I sat down and let her finish her set. At the end of the gig Charlotte the Harlot and Timmona Hooker came upto us and said they agreed with my actions because he had no right to do that. Shane went upto Miss Penny and explained what happened, and I saw her outside quickly and apologised for what happened, saying I didn't mean to disrespect her, I was just unhappy with what he had done and what he was saying. She said don't worry, and kissed my cheek.

I've since sent an email to both Timmona & Charlotte explaining what happened, and to yet again pass my apologies onto Miss Penny for what happened.

I think I got home about 3am, and watched tv for about an hour, before going to bed about 4am.

Today I called the court about the last case I was on, and was told his sentancing had been delayed again, til end of January. Lucky sod! He's the guy who was robbing from oap's homes.

I later went to college, then came home after my lesson, watched tv, caught up on some programmes i'd missed again, and have just been relaxing.

I have nothing on tomorrow, so perfect opportunity for me to catch up on some housework etc. Monkey hasn't met Mr hoover yet, so that will be fun lmao.

I expect to be totally skint after Wednesday, as after I get paid, I have to go buy birthday presents for Mum and my sis in law, and well as cards, and Christmas presents. Not enough money in the world!

Anyway, can't think of much else to say, so gonna add some pics of monkeychops to this, and will fuck off and watch earlier's Eastenders.

Night all xxx

I went to Walsall Hospital yesterday, and after a long distuccsion relating to my family history and myself, the lady decided that I fall into the catagory for the Gastric Bypass Surgery.

I'm back there in March for a follow-up appointment, and then i'll be in a few months later for the operation. This means that after a few months of not eating much and drinking loads of liquids and vitamins, i'll begin to be able to eat foods again, and my weight will significantly drop. By this time next year I should be a good few stone lighter! It's all good.

It's gonna be a long, horrible, painful and dyer process, but it's gonna mean i'll not be this big again. I hope to go down by at least 10 sizes, which will be great, which is about 5-6 stone in weight over all.

I'm really excited, I can't wait!

Can't quite remember what i've been upto this weekend. Bugger all at a guess lol. Watching tv, watching movies, going online, eating, the norm really.

I've watched 3 great movies over the last 24 hours though. Superman 3 which was ace, and even better, two Japanese subtitled movies called Deathnote and Deathnote 2. They're really good. I'm really getting into Japanese horror movies now lol.

Ginny has been pissing me off. Her nails are super sharp, and i've been bleeding when she's been climbing up my legs. Kitten nails and tracksuit bottoms don't mix lol. I slapped her nose today, so hopefully she'll learn not to do it anymore.

The girls have been scrapping with her too, showing her who's boss. I stopped them from doing this the first week, cause she was new, but she's been here over a week now, so it's time she learned the hiararchy in the house, and both Bonny and Polly have been happy to show her this lol. The thing is, she thinks they're playing with her lol. She's such a little terror. They won't hurt her, just tell her off with a few swipes, excluding nails, to teach her a lesson, and some growls and hisses. Funny, it's happening as I type lol.

My dizzyness has come back again. Must go to the chemist and pick up my prescription for the Vertigo tablets. That would help lol.

Was gonna have a roast today for dinner, but opted for bacon sarnies instead, as you do. Nice though!

Wrote my Christmas cards out a couple of days ago. Won't be posting them for a couple of weeks, but at least they're out the way lol.

Can't think of anything else to write, so gonna piss off now.

More tomorrow, when I go to see the dietician at the hospital. That should be fun lol.

I'm sitting here in shock!

Because the Police say they saw the children 'asleep' they're saying I made the whole thing up, and they're not going to follow it up.

That woman is going to get away with it, those poor children are going to continue being abused, and the shit Social Services department are not going to do a thing about it!

Unbelievable! I am furious and in total shock!

I was woken up this morning at 7.40am, by a child screaming 'Mummy please let me out' from upstairs next door. She's stopped locking the kid(s) in the bathroom, and have moved to another place in the house to 'store' them when they're naughty! The screaming and distress, and begging went on for 20 minutes, during which time I called the Police.

As soon as the car arrived outside the flat, the screaming stopped, and everything went quiet. When the Police entered the house, the mother stated that both children were still in bed asleep, and showed them in bed apparently, and said I had made the whole thing up. Basically, she'd obviously told the kid(s) to shut up and fain 'sleeping' so the Police thought I had made it up, and it was my word against hers. They soon left.

Fuck that, I thought, so I called the NSPCC again, a 3rd time now, and reported it again, and my suspicions relating to the sudden 'sleeping children' tactic. She's getting clever now. She's still abusing the kids, but is finding ways of covering it all up. I think next time I'll tell them to park on the main road and walk down, instead of parking in front of the flats, in the hope of catching her out. Fucking bitch!

So because of that, I decided against going back to bed, even though I was up til the early hours writing up all my college notes, so I went to the post office, picked up my money, paid my bills and went shopping.

I've managed to pay everything including what I owed, and it's left me with £40, which is great, and that's after I bought a ton of food, and a couple of Christmas presents, and some cards.

Now £10 needs to go into the tank, as i'm in Walsall AND Quinton this week, as well as college, so need the petrol money. I need £10 for college, to pay for the Othello trip, and at least £10 minimum for the trip itself, ie to eat something while in London, which leaves less than a tenner for whatever the vet gives me for Ginny & Bonny. What joy!

I bought Ginny tons of kitten toys today. Bargain for £1, so she's happy, and Bonny & Polly are happy too, as new toys to play with lol.

As i've been writing this, Social Services have called me asking me to let them know what's been going on next door. I've just filled them in over the phone, so hopefully something will start happening again!

Anyway, i'm being chewed and bitten, so better go pay monkeychops a little attention lol.

More later (after college)...

Oh look, deja vu! She ain't locking them in the bathroom anymore, but she is certainly doing something to them stll, because I was woken up at 8.30am by a screaming child screaming 'Mummy' and was really distressed. When will she learn? Fucking bitch!

I called the NSPCC just now, and reported her again. Social Services stopped coming round a while ago, so they'll start again now.

I also gave them the date and time I called the Police in October about her, when she locked one in the bathroom, and they were screaming 'Mummy please let me out the bathroom'.

kittcha you were right and I should have listened before. The Police didn't tell Social Services about their visit, which is fucking out of order. They know now, so hopefully something more serious will be done now.

Apparently Social Services will be there today, so I might receive yet another bang on my front door tonight from her, like the last time they arrived unannounced.

They also told me that if I do hear it again tomorrow, to call the Police straight away.

Some people shouldn't be allowed kids!

Had a busy few days. College on Wednesday night was good. Carried on with 'Othello'. Still waiting for my Travel Writing written piece to be marked.

Went to buy my books before the lesson at Smiths, but they didn;t have them in, so i've had to order them. I should have them by next week.

We might be going to see Lenny Henry play Othello in London in a week or two. College trip. I should find out more next week.

Tuesday afternoon I picked up Ginny, my new kitten. A friend of a friend was giving hers away to good homes, and gave me one. She is gorgeous. Black and white, so cute. Bonny is a little easier on her now, getting used to her. Polly still isn't happy at all, but that will change over time. They both still love me though, which is good lol.

The little monkey spends most of her time either sleeping on my shoulder or on my lap. She just won't leave me alone. I'm having a respite moment right now, she's snoozing on the sofa, at one end, and Bonny is snoozing at the other, so all is well there lol. Polly is on the window sill.

I was browsing the internet earlier, and came across the worst photo I think i've ever seen of my psycho ex. She looks like a right dog in it, really dirty and rough. It's actually a professional photo as well, so fuck only knows what she was thinking when she had it done lol. She looks like she's been living on the streets for a week, it's that bad! lmao. It surprises me, cause she used to love being clean and tidy etc, and she used to take such pride in her appearance, so fuck knows what's happened to her to look like that lmao.



Am so pleased Katie Price keeps being put up for tasks on 'I'm a Celeb'. It's all good. Can't stand the bitch, and as she's being paid £350,000 to do the show, she needs to earn it in my book lmao.

Finally got my Foster's Ice piece up on the wall over the weekend. It looks fantastic now it's up.

Got my money going in the bank soon from the expenses from the Jury Service I recently did. About £40 which is great, cause I can now catch up with some of the bills I didn't pay so I could go out last weekend.

Anyway, can't think of anything else to say, so more tomorrow...

Had a wicked night out on Saturday night. Me and Lisa went on the scene, and we hit The Village, Eden, and Missing for a wicked night out. It was Stephen's 30th bday, and we had a blast!

Sunday I took Lisa back to the station so she could get her train home, then got back and cooked a roast chicken dinner. I offered to share the meal, but she had to get back. Bonny enjoyed the chicken as well lol.

Sunday night I had insomnia, so didn't fall asleep til the early hours, and was woken up soon after by the screaming banshee downstairs. I fell back to sleep again half an hour later when she went to work, and didn't wake up til 4pm, which wasn't good at all!

Went to the post office to pick up my book vouchers for my college books, then went to WH Smiths hoping to pick up my books, but they had closed, so went to college and sat in the car park waiting for my assertiveness lesson to begin.

DJ Dan (Eden) kindly gave me a CD he recorded on Saturday night, so I sat in the car listening to that. It's fucking wicked. He sure is one hell of a talented DJ!

After the lesson I came home, watched tv til late, and went to bed.

I didn't fall asleep though til gone 6.30am, and was woken up 1hr 45 mins later, at 8.15am by the screaming banshee yet again! By the time she shut up it was 9am, and I couldn't go back to sleep, so i've been up ever since. I'm exhausted!

When i've had my meeting in about 45 mins, i've got to go out, so I think i'll be on Pro Plus today to keep me going or i'll be driving asleep lol.

Finished off the chicken today. Chicken sadal cr5eam sandwiches are the bees knees!

More later...

Today was payday, so I went to the post office, grabbed my cash, paid bills, hit the shops and bought the groceries. Only problem was, I didn't pay the cable bill before I hit the shops, and I kept seeing little things I needed to buy, and yes I NEEDED to buy, for Christmas presents, so that took up a lot of money lol. It means I now have less for the weekend, which is annoying. Maybe I just shouldn't drink so much lmao.

College was ok. Took me ages just to get into the first scene of Othello. I was cross reading someone else's book, as still don't have my own. The first time we read it I was feeling totally lost. I just couldn't get it, couldn't make head nor tail of it, totally foreign to me, but then we went through it all piece by piece and the tutor helped us understand what it all meant etc, and it seemed to flow after that. It was only the first scene though, so god help us with the rest. My voucher should arrive soon, so I should have my own copy by next week, which will help.

I got my grade from my travel writing oral presentation I had to do on the overhead projector and powerpoint application. I was shocked when I got the result. He scored me an A Grade. I expected a B Grade. That's an excellent start. I just hope I can keep it up lol.

Anyway, best try to get some sleep, even though i'm not very tired, as have housework to do tomorrow, and need to give myself a hair cut, god forbid lmao.

More tomorrow...

Is it me, or is it cold? Nope, it's not me!

I woke up in the night and I could swear I saw frost on the roofs of the houses around me.

Yesterday was college, pretty boring to be honest.

Tomorrow back to college, and still no book tokens, so I still can't buy Othello, and we start it tomorrow!

I went out on the balcony earlier, only to find egg shells everywhere. Dunno where it's come from, but I think someone has been thorwing eggs at my windows. Thankfully because of all the rain, the eggs seem to have been washed away, but the shells have remained on my balcony. Some people are so immature lol.

Bit worried about Bonny. She's starting to drink more water than she used to, and the vets said because of her age, if that happened, it means she may have a problem with her kidney. Will have to tlak to them and see what they say.

Anyway, more later...
