A boring old Sunday

My day. Got up and spent 4 and a half hours online trying to restore my reality tv site that I had to switch to a new host. I still have some things to do there, and although I can access it I don’t think any one else can yet — it’s caused me lots of stress so far, and it aint over yet. I don’t even know if it’s going to be staying where it is now so I might have to move it again, nnnooooooooooooooo.

I made myself a ‘I don’t know how to cook’ style Sunday roast for one because the other half was out. This comprised of instant gravy, a microwaved chicken pie, tinned green beans and tinned potatoes.

Then I went to the gym and did some running on my elliptical, I didn’t enjoy it because I am full of cold and must be all congested because I could really feel my chest burning/hurting. I still stuck with it for 50 minutes though, yay me.

I just watched a few hours of TV. The Amazing Race Asia and Strictly Come Dancing.

And now I am going straight back to working on my sites. Curse you, Dreamhost.com.

Wild Weather Please!

Who likes summer? Most people right? Especially in the UK where we don’t actually get much of a summer so as soon as Mr Sunshine pops out from behind the clouds every one acts like it’s suddenly scorchio and gets the sandals out.

Well not me, NO, I don’t like summer…in fact I hate it. I hate the heat. I hate the stuffyness. I hate having to wear sandals and strappy tops. I hate the hay fever. I hate how boring it is.

Give me winter any day, you never know what you are going to get with winter…wind, snow, rain, hail, thunder, lightening — it’s all going on in the winter months.

Plus I like wearing scarfs and gloves, so there.

Neon Flowers and a NETeller rant

I got some neon flowers, who knew you could get neon flowers? they are awesome!! It took me a few days until the water turned neon pink to realise they weren’t perhaps completely Au Naturale and perhaps a little dye was involved, but they still rawk!!

Do any of you guys use NETeller? They are thieving pieces of scum as far as I am concerned! I had to register with them in order to cashout my bingo winnings on one of the sites I won on, at the time I thought to myself how dubious I was about it and wished the site offered cashout by BACS, or cheque or even paypal instead - all things I know how to use and am comfortable with etc. Well, eventually after having to go through a billion stages and security checks, the bingo site sent me the £50, then I get an email from NETeller informing me my account is blocked and I need to give them my phone number so they can call me, grrrr, I have emailed them twice now with my number and they have not called (and you guys know how I feel about phone calls, it’s been making me sick to my stomach every time my phone has rang over the last week!). So looks like they just plan on keeping my money indefinitely. Bastards.

Time to start promoting

I have been running Jeoberpta for a while now, and it’s looking pretty darn pretty I think, so I think it’s time to get some traffic heading this way.

I have enough experience with running sites in the past to have some idea on how to do that - joining blog networking sites such as MyBlogLog and BlogCatalog is a great place to start and I have had great success with new kids on the block EntreCard recently. So that is my plan for the coming days :D

What do you get up to then?

As I have already said, I am but a creature of the night who doesn’t keep the usual hours. I also work from home, and my fiance works lates so it works out well for us. I am going to tell you about an average day in the life of the Viki.

Get up around 2pm, make myself a cup of tea and maybe get some breakfast - I hate getting up, absolutely the worst part of the day. I have to literally drag myself outta my pit.

I get dressed…or….ok no I don’t, I just stay in my PJs and hop straight on the computer to start work. I mean to get dressed, but usually a few hours pass before I actually do it.

I work until around 5pm when I break off for my tea - I have the same thing every day, a chicken tikka and salad sandwich, YUM. This is also when the fiance starts work so I wave him off on his way.

I will then watch television or go out for a few hours.

At 8pm I hop on my elliptical for around 45 minutes 5 nights a week, the other 2 nights I go out to the pub or cinema at around that time.

I then go back home, watch television for a while, have something to eat (usually a bowl of rice krispies).

The fiance arrives home at 11pm and he then cooks us our tea, I’d cook it but I have no abilities in the kitchen..other than doing the washing up. We chat and watch television for a while.

At around 2am I head back to the computer where I start my second job. I finish at 5am. I spend an hour or so doing my own thing online and then head to bed for the day.

That’s about it.

Here’s looking at you, kid

So, now you know about me - my hobbies and interests and other sites, you know about my fiance and you know I like fireworks. So now you are dying to see what I look like, I know you are - don’t try and deny it…you’ve barely been able to sleep lately with thinking about it, ‘What does that Viki chick look like?’

Here’s a visual:

Now hopefully you’ll be able to sleep better at night :D

Hooked on Mario Partay!

The Fiance and I stayed up until almost 7am a few nights ago playing the new Mario Party on the DS :loser: How sad are we? lol

It’s so much fun though, I have never really played the Mario Party games much before, I think I had one on an N64 emulator I had on my computer a few years ago but that’s about it. And, in our defense 7am isn’t that late in our world, considering our usual bed time is around 5am and it’s not uncommon for us to still be up at 6am! It sucks that (as far as I can work out) you can’t play it over wifi, so we can only play when he’s here or I am there, pooey.

What was the last computer game you got stupidly hooked on as soon as it came out and spent hours playing until ridiculous AM?
