Today was another day where the brilliance that is me was never discovered by some famous producer or director that just happened to be walking the streets of Crawley.
Then again he/she would have had to have taken a wrong turning and walked into my bedroom, which is where I spent the majority of my day.
The thing is with the heating still off and it being freezing in the house I though my best idea for avoiding freezing to death, was to lounge in bed all day, which turned into 5pm!!!
However the gas man has been and saved the day and turned our igloo into a warm house once more. I was so excited I threw myself into the shower!! Had the gas man still been at our house after my moment (15mins!) of bliss I probably would have kissed him!! Of course after dressing!
However this was not the only surpise that I have encountered during the space of today...
The first one was that my darling head of the household (my vater) had ventured into the great snow ridden landscape and brought me a bottle of cream soda!! Oh the joy!!! I haven't cracked into it yet- I will probably save it for thursday- Christmas eve eve, after my shift at work!! No reason just a treat to myself for working!! He found it in Asda (no surprises there if I'm honest), and I shall be eternally grateful!! Well maybe thankful for a short while! Okay I'll just say thank you!
The second surprise was that I actually like tidying- cue shocked gasps and the sound of a few close friends and family fainting- only the close ones cause they were the only ones that were let into my cesspool of a room!! Now this comes as a shock to me too mind- I HATED tidying, it was the biggest most pointless thing in the world- I mean who cared if I couldn't see the carpet- I certainly didn't and it was my room which I slept in (much to the horror of some relatives!). I even though it was pointless when I had the help of an army of friends and family who were helping me clean, yet still the scales of uncleaness did not fall from my eyes showing me the way that I have found in the last week!
I have gone tidy mad- everything has been hoovered, swept, mopped, dusted, shined- the list is endless, and so were the black sacks that entered the room empty, but left heaving with the "junk" I no longer needed!
And this is the result (it looks even better in real life!!)
But I genuinely love tidying- it is not quite fun, but it's a thing to be in control of- I can make the space I exist in look beautiful, and now that I have done a week of hard work, it only takes me 5 minutes to clean up any mess! Now thats the kind of tidying I like!!
And this is what I have done in my day!
No wonder nothing big happens- I don't go and search for it, I wait for it to come to me!!
I think I know what my first resolution for the New Year will be...
