It does seem a long time since i blogged but i was using my old computer again...remember the 0ne with the d0dgy 0......i cracked the screen in this laptop which i only got back today and within a period of 4 days i had cracked the screen...dropped my sony ericsson W850i down the toilet in Newcastle Airport so i was ok about it as i had my Prada touch screen mobile at home in the south...when i did get to my home in surrey i washed this phone by accident in the washing machine so i went for weeks with no mobile and a dodgy laptop, all is back to normal now.
I had a nice easter in the north and commuted down to London via the weird and wonderful Terminal 5.I am also the proud owner of a very nice expensive car...i will say nothing about what it is in case prying eyes are reading this and there are some people i want to know NOTHING about my life anymore,they are not part of it, they never will.
Looking forward to my cruise in May from Venice with all of my friends, balcony cabin again, HOW POSH!!!
Dad is well and been looking at new cars himself and he has asked me for a loan which i will oblige, there are richer people within our family but all they are interested in is themselves and making sure they are ok and F... anyone else....i can not write the word selfish big enough to cover their self importance......the expression ME ME ME comes to mind!!!!!

So you want to be a flight attendant?
Go to a resale store and find an old, navy suit that an army sergeant might have worn. Add a white shirt and a tie. Wear that same outfit for three consecutive days.
Go to an airport and watch airplanes take off for several hours. Pretend you are standing by for them and they are all full. Go home. Return to the airport the very next day and do the same thing again.
Fill several large boxes with rocks. Lift them over your head and place them on the top shelf of a closet. Slam the door shut until the boxes fit. Do this until you feel a disc slip in your back.
Turn on a radio. Be sure to set it between stations so there is plenty of static. Turn on the vacuum cleaner and garbage disposal. Run them all night.
Remove the covers from several T.V entrees. Place them in a hot oven. Leave the food in the oven until it's completely dried out. Remove the hot trays with your bare hands. Serve to your family. Don't include anything for yourself. Serve your family a beverage one hour after they've received their meal. Make them remain in their seats during this time. Ask them to scream at you and complain about the service. Scrounge uneaten rolls off the plates for you to eat 6 hours later when you're really hungry. Place a straight-backed chair in a closet facing a blank wall. Use a belt to strap yourself into it. Eat the rolls you saved from your family's meal.
Ask your family to use the bathroom as frequently as possible. Tell them to remove their shoes and socks before entering, and see who can make the most disgusting mess. Clean the bathroom every hour throughout the night.
Make a narrow aisle between several dining room chairs and randomly scatter your husband's runners and loafers along the way. Turn off the lights and spend the night walking up and down the aisle while banging your shins against the chair legs and tripping over the shoes. Drink several cups of cold coffee to keep yourself awake.
Gently wake your family in the morning and serve them a muffin in a package. Don't forget to smile and wish them a nice day when they leave for work and school.
After the family leaves, take a suitcase and go out into the yard. If it's not raining, turn on the sprinkler system and stand in the cold for 30 minutes pretending like your waiting for the crew bus topick you up. Then go inside and wait by your bedroom door for another 30 minutes for an imaginary maid to make up your room.
Change into street clothes and shop for 5 hours. Pick up carry-outfood from a local deli. Go back home. Sit on your bed and eat your meal. Set your alarm clock for 03:00 am so you'll be ready incase you don't get your wake up call. Repeat the above schedule for three days in a row and you'll be ready to work your first international flight.
Every day, aspring flight attendants ask me to describe some of the benefits of a flight attendant career. I've outlined below what I think are ten of the most appealing aspects of the profession.
1. Enjoy a great deal of time off (13 to 17 days off per month; roughly 6 months off per year!).
2. Get free or reduced-cost travel benefits for yourself and immediate family, covering air travel, lodging, car-rentals, and cruises.
3. Get a lucrative benefits package, often including health and life insurance!
4. Enjoy unmatched variety - Forget the predictability of 9 to 5 cube life!
5. Enjoy maximum scheduling flexibility - You're not limited to weekends off like the rest of the world!
6. Meet new people, including many celebrities.
7. See the world.
8. Feel more independent.
9. Feel more responsible.
10. Feel a sense of pride and accomplishment (especially when you help an unaccompanied minor or handicapped passenger safely reach their destination).
11. Go on mini vacations and tell your friends all about it! One night your in Paris, then London and then home.
