the happy little world of miss ktp!

finally i have some motivation! when everyone else is just starting to hibernate & slow down for the winter & i'm ready & raring to go! i've missed this feeling of wanting to do stuff straight away instead of pushing things back & back & the to do list growing instead of me crossing things off but now the times are a changing! not sure if it's cos chrimbo is upon us & i'm getting stupidly excited as always & so am eager to do lots, but whatever it is i hope it stays around long enough for me to tick off most of what's on my list & start the new year with a fairly clean slate. here's to hoping! one reason i'm excited is that by june next year i should have no debt (except for my student loan which doesn't really count cos it comes out of my account before i even know about it!). it'll be brill to have that little bit of extra cash to save, go jiving more, buy that odd top & not feel guilty about it & go on...

It's that time of year again & i'm really happy to say that i've seen so many more people wearing poppies than previous years. I did my poppy collecting at euston station last sunday & i was pretty busy & even had people coming up to me asking all about it. On one hand there are loads of people already wearing them, on the other, people were saying i was the 1st poppy person they'd seen! I'm on my 4th poppy so far this year! I bought my 2nd one cos i'd left the house with a different coat on & felt guilty not wearing one then needed the 3rd & 4th cos the others fell apart! This year the poppy means that bit more to me cos our very close family friend buck passed away on the 12th oct. He was from texas & a paratrooper in the 82nd airbourne division during world war 2. He made the jump on d-day & was awarded the purple heart after suffering a gunshot wound to the head while pulling one of his fellow soldiers to safety. He came over ...

I love winter it's my favourite season. When i looked out the window this morning & saw the wind & the rain i was so happy! It meant i could get out my thick winter coat with a furry hood, snuggle down into it & battle with the weather. The cold weather also means that they turn up the heating on the trains & you can curl up & snooze. Bliss! I'm now in work waiting for my ready brek to heat up. Who said winter was horrible?! x x x

I see this on my way to the bus every morning & it still makes me laugh! It's been written in wet concrete on the floor & i just have an image of wesley snipes crouched down on the floor writing this with a broken twig! Or if it was a kid & not actually mr snipes himself what a random name to pick?! Guess we'll never know who it really was *sigh* x x x

I know, i know, it's a bit late for a halloween post but i was talking to my old dentist today asking if they could send my x-rays over to my new dentist & about an hour ago i was sent this picture to my phone! It's a bit freaky when you're not expecting to see an image like this pop up! Random! Not sure what i'm supposed to do with this it's not exactly something you'll print out & frame on your fireplace! x x x
