Glorious Weekend...

This weekend was glorious! Except the fact I am still falling apart - healthwise haha.

England is soooo weird. How does it go from two saturdays ago being wet and icy and windy and soooo depressing to this weekend sunbathing at 7pm at night! So weird! To be fair. I am a bit burnt!

Basically this weekend was nice because it was beautiful weather. Ginger Dave was commuting from Colchester to see the boys, my Irish Mancunian was coming down and also Army Tom was back from Afghan so he was coming from Londres. So it was awesome. Kam and Darran were holding a BBQ friday night so that was lovely. Late night but lovely.

Then saturday came and we all decided to go to the park to play cricket.

Vote Shaun Dyer for Pirate Party! hahahaaha *

We took a wee picnic and loads of beers in cool box and went and killed it. Me and Sav didnt play this time. We have retired from cricket so we played travel scrabble, gossiped, played uno, watched the boys, sunbathed, ate cookies... that kind of thing.

Stayed there til like 8, still piping hot, got a bit of sunburn, headed home for a shower then met the boys in the pub for the Champions League final. Last two C.L finals I have watched have had English teams in so it was weird to watch it and there not be. Not as exciting for me but the boys will watch literally ANY football!

Then we moved on to Fubar and we stayed there all night. At first we were all a bit done from our day in the sun but then the Jager Bombs came out and we fucked about with You Tube. Nothing better than having your mom shut the bar at closing time and leaving you in there. Old 90s summer music on the You Tube... think Big Mountain, Charles & Eddie, Aswad, Inner Circle, Peter Andre... Oh and she's like the wind from the legend that is Patrick Swayze.

Ginger dave is getting married in September and he is having She's like the wind as his first dance. Thats amazing cuz its not even a joke!

Oh and all the cool songs from the Rocky soundtrack and Karate Kid sound track.

LISTEN!

So yeah, picture it... Me and these boys...

Drinking and dancing like we were 15 in our own little club.

Amazing.

Then went back to the boy's house where he fed me Jim Beam and we watched Road trip and had a cuddle then I went home at 6am. You know when you have no stuff and its all hot and meehhh and you really want your own bed... Yeah so that was me 6am Sunday morning bright sunlight... Walk. Of. Shame.

Morning dog walkers, morning!

Had a bit of toast... Went to bed.

Sunday My Irish Mancunian and Army Tom came and plucked me from my pit, where I now had lost my voice completely, still cold sored up to buggery and had now developed a little ulcer right in the corner of my mouth so it hurts to eat, talk, move, anything. CRAP.

See, thats why I am falling apart.

ANYWAY, those lovely boys came and got me and we went to go look at my mothers new pub... its in the process of being done out. I hope its gonna be cool, then we went into town to shop for sunglasses. And it was ROASTING out. Then the lovely I.M brought me lunch at Handmade Burger. Pesto mozzerella and chicken. YUM. Then back to the boys to get him to go watch football. Then Lost. Penultimate Episode.

OHHHH. I cannot wait for the final. Its on at 5am this morning they time it is being aired in US. BUT we are saving it for Thursday. I am gonna have to shelter myself from the world until then. If someone spills the beans I will literally beat them with a baking tray.

I am sunburnt and my bedroom is hot. I am uncomfortable. My cough is still there and I cannot talk. My mouth hurts. I look like a crack whore with this coldsore and I am still fat like a hippo.

BUT on the upside... I had one of the best weekends with my boys and girls. . . Put a couple of pics in for good measure. Gotta break up the rambling hey!

I dont want to work when its hot! My bits like a bloody greenhouse!

Lots of cakes to make next week so expect some actual cupcakes all up in this cupcake blogggg.

Peaceeeee xxx

*This is what happens in England. A wee bit of sun comes out and all the men take their tops off and start acting like nobs hahahah.

Shaun. Put your nips away hahaha. Love you!

Things I have done # 2

My friend Junior that works in the coffee shop at work did something very sweet indeed after Easter. I got to my desk and there was a wee Easter egg sat on it. And Nicky up the way said. "It's from Junior." Which I thought was a really sweet thing to do. So to say thanks I made him a wee thanks card with a picture of a dog dressed up as a pumpkin. What more can you want? Sequins? Oh yeah probably. So I whacked some of them on there as well. Swish....

Thanks Junior it made my day!! xxx

And then Picto was going on about me putting a "Vote Pirate" Pirate Party poster in my window. I personally think the poster is crap and boring. So I set about making my own one. He has a big man crush on is a serious fan of Zooey Deschanel so I came up with this beauty...

Sorry Zooey if you are reading my blog (one can only hope... fly me to you and I will make you cupcakes) I know you havent officially endorsed Shaun Dyer for Pirate Party Leicester West. But I kinda know that you would secretly like to. So alls fair in love and war. Oh and also if you are happy about endorsing him. How about you throw in a date too? I know he would be pretty happy about that. He's a nice guy.

VOTE PIRATE...

...ZOOEY WOULD.

Weekend Round up...

You ready?

Its not exciting.

Friday, met the boy and Picto for after work drinks. It was nice and I am a light weight. But it felt summery and I was enjoying myself.

Picto is standing for Local MP for Leicester West for the Pirate Party.

(As internet users this political party may be of interest to you. They are worldwide.

Go Look Pirate Party UK.

There are links to a whole heap of countries which may well include yours here

Basically ( and I am in no way polictical no, no, no) They are onto copyright laws...something to do with if you buy a CD you should be able to copy it to your Ipod or whatever and other such things like file sharing etc. They are onto privacy issues... I'm not even going into this its long...feel free to read about it on the Manifesto... And they're also onto freedom of speech and things like that. Oh I don't know. I am not a very good advert. )

Go look at the site.

I digress...

Anyway so yeah, we went for drinks and met some bloke from the Pirate Party. There was meant to be a small gathering of Pirate Party members but noone else showed up. How shitty. But it was cool cuz we didnt have to talk politics. Cuz I would have been bored bored bored.

Carried on drinking. Went home. Woke up the next day. Had toast for breakfast.

Saturday, went back over to the boys and we went out to the pub to watch the Spurs Chelsea game with Darran (big fat Spurs fan) I hate Chelsea, we all hate Chelsea so the fact that Spurs won and smug wanker John Terry got sent off made it a worthwhile and extremely excitable pub visit. Darran and the boy getting particularly excited and having lots of hugs and stuff. Hahaha very sweet.

Went back to the boys at about 8pm he promptly fell asleep on the couch everyone else went home. Watched a bit of Brasseye and then went and climbed into his bed about 10 and watched some Run Fat Boy Run before falling asleep. Woke up about 1 went and roused boy from the sofa to come to bed cuz it was freezing up there. Fell asleep having a nice cuddle woke up and had laughs watching race car driving...(grand prix??). He left for football. I had toast for breakfast.

Sunday was nice. The weather was lovely. Sat in the garden with Lar for ages when I got home. We had the spotify playlist running and it was lush. Then met up with Kam, Darran, Steve & Nuj and we headed to the local beauty spot Bradgate Park for a picnic.

Bradgate Park

It seems as soon as the smallest bit of sun pops out everyone loses the clothes and runs to the nearest open space with a towel and a picnic. Its funny. normally when I go to this park its just got joggers and dog walkers and the odd few families but today it was rammed. We walked away from the crowds up a big hill and sat under a tree over looking the whole of the park. Was pretty.
Came home. Went to the boys and watched Delirious with him. I had never heard of it but it was really funny, if you like late 80s early 90s movies with John Candy then you will love this.

I love John Candy

Then went to watch the boy play footy. Got mega angry at the other team but super excited cuz the boy kept getting angry and I like it and they won and it was a good match. Then came back ate pizza and watched lost.

Then went home went to bed and HOORAH MONDAY! (please note sarcasm)
