I’ve taken this quiz on Facebook just now from Hollyoaks and apparently the character I most represent is Tina McQueen… the straight-laced, boring, reliable one with bags of integrity… now I’m not sure whether or not I’m supposed to be offended….!?!
Isn’t it much nore fun to be one of the laugh-a-minute ones with a social life and long legs?!?! 
Nearly a year ago - I wrote this post…. Post!!
I was v happy that I had come across a minor celebrity … and had to take a picture…. … erm… what with my life being so invariably….. erm….. ’scant’ of celebrity.
Now - can you believe that almost 12 months later… and this picture
Is the single most viewed picture on my entire Flickr account - simply because it mentions Catherine Gee?
It’s not even a good picture (explanation at Flickr)
Daily - my blog attracts people that are interested to know whether or not Catherine Gee is, in fact, pregnant. Daily people come to the LNT to see whether or not she has had a baby.
On a daily basis, I disappoint people as, unfortunately, I do not hold the answers to the questions regarding the size, shape or contents of her tummy 
So - if you do happen to know whether or not Catherine Gee is pregnant - you should really put a lot of people out of their misery and let everybody know
Well… this year they have decided that the annual conference should be held at the end of the year rather than in March.
A massive improvement I have to say… normally we have it at the end of the first quarter and sit and discuss plans for the year ahead when 3 months of it have already gone by… it has always seemed an odd concept to me to be honest.
So - this year to represent the merger of more of the sister companies into one big group, 3 of the group were invited to one conference and apparently we were the only branch of the group that were intelligently having the end of year conference practically halfway through the following one.
So… what did this mean to me?
Well… basically it meant I had to buy another sodding dress 
Yes I could have worn the one I wore in March…. if I had wanted to look like a sack of potatoes. It’s now 2 dress sizes to big for me. So I ended up going out and spending £200 on a new outfit.
Yes… the shopping was reasonably good fun as we had the Mad Lindsey… Lindsey the Mad… that should be her sales name… she was great.. but no I don’t really have £200 to spend so I have had the genius idea of putting it on eBay.
Unless… is there anyone out there who would like a size 14 floor length black dress?
I have picture burst mode on my camera and me and Tet decided to take a few piccies of each other so that we had something to show our other halves… actually for me it was for LNT but she doesn’t know about this. So we were taking bursts of 6 pictures and at the end of Tet’s she pulled her underwear from the crack of beyond and the last photo was her laughing… we decided it should be a theme…
CAUGHT!!!!!!
So…. the conference itself was very good…. very motivational as always and a little apologetic after a few redundancies this year. The do was good in comparison to March. The food was way better…. smoked salmon for starter and a kind of Christmas dinner… I say kind of because it was about 4 slices of turkey and then 2 brussel sprouts, one carrot, one potato and one sausage wrapped in bacon.
I don’t know about you guys but Christmas dinner where I come from is about 800 calories further south than that and a whole lot better… but it wasn’t tasteless… so I was all happy!
Pudding however… not really my thing anyway but unfortunately it was Christmas Pudding… which I cannot abide. YUK. BOO!
So I didn’t get any pudding…. pants.
On the plus side however there was free wine and beer (as much as you could drink, No pregnant Catherine Gee but Lenny Henry instead!
And I have to say Lenny Henry was effing hilarious!!
The funniest part of the evening had to be the warm up (3 glasses of wine already drank I have to add… Tet and I singing along to Band of Gold and the camera fell on us… it was hilarious…. unfortunately not something you can get away with when you do it in front of a company you have worked for for 8 years and there was quite a lot of laughing…. at us.
Isn’t it just hideous to hear yourself drunkenly cackling? Ugh… I will get lots of emails about this…. ah well….

So then fast forward to today… Rowan is ill with yet another ear infection. Currently fast asleep. Not keeping any food down at the moment. Have been up with her most of the evening. Have given her Midised this afternoon for its anti-cough properties and anti-nausea benefits. It seems to have done the trick and she is currently enjoying a long rest which she definitely deserves.
She is a pretty sickly child and she’s got so good at being sick now (she’s so used to it) that she is sick into a couple of lined carrier bags, aims perfectly and then is ready to be cleaned up and just sits back down like she’s been drawing a picture.
Bless her.
She and Ella both have bronchitis also… so luckily it’s the week before Christmas and you never know - with any luck - they may both be well for the up and coming festivities…..
Or did I speak too soon……….?
Beautiful…?
Apparently - the Andre couple are over the moon with their new baby girl born a couple of weeks ago at the Portland Hospital…
They haven’t been able to decide on a name for the little girl yet so they are just calling her Beautiful…
I don’t know what you think…but I think they should just go with Beautiful…. it surely isn’t any worse/better/different than Junior…?
Besides….. what’s in a name?
This is not a celeb blog by any means and I’m not even really an ardent/avid/dedicated supporter of Jordan tbh.. but …
I am pleased to hear that she has safely given birth to her baby girl.. and that mother and baby are well..
6lb 13oz I think … but no name yet…
Always good to hear that a new little soul has made it here safely…
You know I was watching American Idol gives back, the other night. I don’t actually watch American Idol.. I used to really love these programs but after about the 500th one I did get a little bored.
There was Pop Idol, Pop Stars the Rivals then the arrival of the X Factor… then Simon Cowell realised he could make even more money by doing exactly the same thing in America.
Of Course.. Who wouldn’t? Who would settle for 100 Million when they could have 150?
But the other night I was watching the American Idol Gives Back and although I’m a sucker for programs to do with charity for children … this particular one did strike me as particularly grim.
What could be more galling than a load of kids (American or otherwise) that are steps away from their superfluous dreams come true where they stand to make money beyond their wildest ideas and have fame and fortune to boot.. interspersed with orphaned children in Africa, fending for themselves and bringing each other up as they try and attend school and work simultaneously .. where probably their wildest dream come true is not to die of infection, disease or crime any time before their 15th birthday?
It was just grim.
Grim.
After 5 minutes.. I had to switch channels … I was almost in tears (no shock there!) … A poor young lad.. orphaned at 12 and having to bring up his 8 year old sister since his mum and dad were killed … but hey… at least ‘Tiffany’ / ‘Madonna’ / ‘Jessica Simpson’ wannabe is safe and gets to sing for another week!!!
Gross.
Sorry. But gross.
But at least Katie has her business head screwed on tight!
No comment … [on my personal life you scum bag reporters] except perhaps .. for a million pounds…
A million no less… not £100,000 not half a million but A Million.
Clever girl…
I would criticise her except I can’t help feel that this is what got Katie where she is today… much more financially secure than me for a start!! 
Do the police have nothing better to spend their time or their money on… ? You’re not telling me that this isn’t more to do with the pap getting his 15 minutes of fame..
Hugh Grant might be a bit of a tosser but I think there’s a photographer out there hoping for a cash settlement!
Only two people found me Googling whether Catherine Gee was pregnant.. which is a poor turnout…
frankly.. you can do better..
But can the person who Googled ‘Lots of Dirty Nursery Rhymes’ please come back one day and explain exactly what you were looking for …??
… do you know that I get at least 16 visits per day from people that look up ‘catherine gee pregnant’…
Is Catherine Gee pregnant?
Who knows… but an awful lot of people think she is!!
Who needs enemies when you have family?
Rhett Hutchence sells Michael Hutchence’s intimate stuff on Ebay!!
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice
Why would anyone feel the need to do this?
Bit skint are we Rhett? Need a little pick-me-up?
I found this totally abhorrent. He was his brother for goodness sake.
Grow up eh?
