I’m not sure if I mentioned my laryngitis status recently but I have now got my voice back fully and am able to speak properly without mumbling, so that’s good. I am currently spending most days trying to find a new job.

I’m not sure when it’ll be back or when I’ll be able to blog properly. Really annoyed at AOL.

Hope everyone has a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.

I’ve pretty much finished my Christmas shopping aside from three presents that haven’t arrived (annoyed!) and also buying two presents which I need to wait to become back in stock (should of been yesterday).

Last night we as a family (plus my sisters new boyfriend Liam) went out for a Christmas meal at the pub we go to every year The Highway Man Inn, Cheltenham, it was a really good three course meal and a good time out together (dad got tipsy on the brandy).

Are you ready for Christmas yet? What are you looking forward to the most?

What event says to you “it’s Christmas!” ?

I’ve nearly finished coding and tweaking both of the designs I have been working on and since it is Christmas now (the trucks have been on television after all ) I’ll be uploading my Christmas themed design hopefully next week.

While I’m on the subject of Christmas I still have quite a bit of shopping to do but with a lack of a job (I got laid off due to being ill for months) and money I’m struggling. =/ I still have presents to buy for my mum, couple of my friends and my sisters Birthday present(s)—which is the week before Christmas… As she constantly reminds me.

Life wise I got laid off work on the 8^th October due to the problems I have been having with my voice, i.e. laryngitis etc. I am still under a consultant and am still attending speech therapy, I have shown a great improvement. Not really sure at the moment what I am able to do work wise as I cannot work while my doctor/consultant has still signed me as unfit for work. I have been looking into going back to some form of education e.g. online/home learning courses I have looked at a variety of fields.

Non work/illness related I am looking forward to The Twilight Saga: New Moon coming out which is this coming Friday and am also looking forward to attending a film convention at the end of the month in London which is Collectormania London and run by the sister company who ran the Hallowhedon event I attended over Halloween weekend (tickets for next years event are on sale now ).

I loved every minute of it, I managed to get all their autographs and got professional photographs with each of the guests who were James Marsters “Spike”, Nicholas Brendon “Xander Harris”, Mercedes McNab “Harmony Kendall”, Mark Lutz “The Groosalugg”, & James Leary “Clem”. They were all really lovely and I’m very happy I went.

Have to say though James Marsters is a star! He had an injury a couple of weeks ago while filming and ended up with a spinal injury :( but he still came to the event and made sure every fan got their photos and autos with him. It was clear he was in pain. I thank James so much. ♥

For anyone interested here is the events website (its a UK event):
Hallowhedon”
They’re doing another one next Halloween too that I have already bought tickets for, first guest for this was announced on the Saturday at the auction they had and is Anthony Head who plays Giles in Buffy!

So, how did everyone spend their Halloween?

Life wise I’m suffering with laryngitis (still!) and am now going back to see a different ENT (ear, nose and throat) consultant—this will be on Monday.

If you’re a member of the Quilting Bee, I am taking part in the stamp activity. If you would like to trade stamps with me please bee*mail me.

Edit // Fixed the 500 error (well it now works for me anyway) \

I’m still off work with no voice (laryngitis) and have started speech therapy now to try and get my voice back—I had my first appointment last Thursday and have been given physio exercises to do as well as relaxation techniques for my voice box and throat. So far it seems to be working.

What has everyone been up to?

Feeling quite sad about giving away my car :( I wouldn’t if I didn’t have to but to get “him” through his next MOT will likely cost more than the car is worth (I was told this at my MOT last year that it probably wouldn’t make it through it’s next one at all and I’d need to most likely spend a lot to get it through), so my parents are making me do the government scrappage scheme and get a brand new car. I’ve had my car since June 2007 (that when I got it not how old it is), I even blogged about it briefly:
This is what I said back then:

I don’t really have much else to talk about now, except I have a car! YAY ME! It’s a Ford Fiesta Sapphire and it’s red, I named it NMNY pronounced EN-EM-IN-NEE seeing as it’s number plate is N***MNY.

I’m really going to miss “him”, I think it’s because “he” was my first car… What was your first car? Do you remember when you gave yours away?

and then this afternoon I went and got my hair dyed:

I’m really pleased with it.

Site wise—I’m pretty much done with getting all my content back, I’ve deleted a lot of stuff especially from the visitors section and I plan to get some new/fresh content up when I have the time.

Kim x

• About me pages all up and running—deleted cliques and pixel journal.
• Site pages all up and running—deleted reviews.
• Added artwork to art gallery.
• Added articles to writing section and deleted a load—not 100% finished yet.

Still need to re-vamp visitor section and get my links back up, as well as go through the coding of each page making sure it validates, has correct use of tags etc. The tedious bit.

Kim x

• My about me pages—I have also deleted some and added to others
• Re-validated both skins—both their code and their CSS
• Re-added some smiles and icons to the website—this is not 100% done yet though
• Starting adding Q*bee members back to my Q*bee quilt

Not a lot really but it seems as if it’s taken forever.

Life wise, I’m still off work ill and I still can’t speak—it’s getting ridiculous now. I have another appointment for more tests with my consultant soon.

Kim x

It’ll take me quite a while to get everything sorted… So far, I have an about me page and a blog! hope to get everytihing else all sorted A.S.A.P including my qbee quilt. If you find broken links and 404 pages it’s to expected.

I’ve also been thinking of making the switch to Wordpress but that’ll be after I’m “back on my feet” for lack of a better term.

Hope to be back properly soon.

I spent most of Easter lying on the sofa watching movies as a result of being ill (although I did have to go into work on Good Friday) and my gramp came over on the Sunday and we all had a lovely roast turkey dinner. Yum! Which my mum cooked for us all.

How was everyone else’s Easter?
How did you spend it?

In the Greek culture, when you dream about loose, rotten, or missing teeth, it indicates that a family member or close friend is very sick or even near death.

My nan is currently in hospital and has been so for the last month or so, she has been very poorly.

It has also been said that if you dream of your teeth falling out, then it symbolizes money. This is based on the old tooth fairy story. If you lose a tooth and leave it under the pillow, a tooth fairy would bring you money.

The last dream was near pay day.

It can show the beginning of a new phase of life just as we lose our teeth when we pass from early childhood and head towards adulthood.

My boyfriend of three years (Mark) broke up with me in February so I’m kind of starting a new chapter in my life.

Or… It’s probably my wisdom teeth. ]]> http://chimmyville.co.uk?id=5#comments http://chimmyville.co.uk/blog/rss-comments.php?id=5 flritygal2004@aol.com (Chimmyville) http://chimmyville.co.uk?id=94 http://chimmyville.co.uk?id=94 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 18:46:00 +0000 I keep having this recurring dream where all or a lot of my teeth fall out for no reason at all! They’re not rotting in the dream, they’re white and look healthy but they fall out! There’s a lot of blood. It seems to be the ones at the front—I’m wondering whether these dreams are due to the fact that I’m cutting wisdom teeth at the moment, more specifically the bottom right one (the bottom left is already through). It’s got me slightly worried my teeth are going to fall out! Creepy. Kim x I keep having this recurring dream where all or a lot of my teeth fall out for no reason at all!
