I will do a Christmas post in a while but I am too excited waiting for the Top Gear Vietnam special!!!!!!  A whole hour and 15 minutes of TG with no cars in a foreign country, I CANT WAIT!!!!

I am home, I have been home for just about 2 hours, I am typing this from my bed, where I plan to spend most of tomorrow. 

I am tired, sore, still very cold from Inverness but incredibly happy.  I will do proper squee filled post tomorrow but I just want to say I am home, I am alive and I had an amazing weekend :D

As I am made of fail, this is late.  But in my defence I didnt forget, my computer decided to overheat and be totally sucky, when I did get online I got a bit distracted by my current favourite wizard and his prince *ducks head*.  Better late that never right.  I shall attempt to do post later on such things as Top Gear \0/ Supernatural and most likely Merlin LOL.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the lovely kitty_cat89 

Hope you had a awesome day with lots of lovely pressies :D

( May we present Season 12 :D and Merlin! )

You remember my lost post when I said computer was fixed, HA HA you know that phrase "spoke too soon" well yeah, it started acting up soon after I posted.

I had some major virus infections but I seem to have cleared all that out now. I have managed to figure out that the random restarting is due to overheating, I wouldn't say its being entirely well behaved, to the point that I momentarily thought about buying a new one, it being purple might have had something to do with it LOL.

I hope everyone knows that I am not ignoring anyone, I will probably never catch up, I will try and keep up now, but if I vanish its most likely computer issues AGAIN so don't hold it against me.

On the plus side, I have finished arranging all my travel for Birmingham and MPH08! I booked my train and bus to get out to Inverness airport for my flight to Birmingham and have contacted the hotel for the phone number for the courtesy bus. The only negative (well apart from the 06:23 train in Friday) I have so far is when I get back to Inverness on the Sunday, I have at least 4 hours before I can get a train home, meaning I wont be in till 22:00 at night *sigh* Why do I predict a lot of time sitting in a very cold train station, unless the luggage lockers are actually open for once. Oh well its not like I haven't done it before :) Now can I get excited *bounces*

I haven't watched the latest episode of Supernatural yet, that is for later when I have peace.

I know very few people on my flist actually like Twilight, but seriously the trailer that was released yesterday is gorgeous and addictive. I sat watching a certain scene over and over for about 5 minutes.

I probably had other things to say but I have forgotten, so I will just say hey! Oh and thank fuck its friday :D
( Because I like to share, wont mean much to people who havent read Twilight but OMG!! )

I went on a little spending spree, I ordered all the Top Gear books, stickers books and all :D And pre-ordered the ones that aren't out yet.  I ordered Hamsters every changing title second book, I am now wondering if he will be doing a book tour when it comes out, knowing my luck it will be nowhere near me if it is and I have next to no leave left.

Thinking of Hammond as I do *g* I was looking at my travel for MPH 08, looks like my flights are going to be just under £100 to get from Inverness to Birmingham, obviously the sooner I do it the cheaper it will be, then have to book train to get to Inverness and from there I can hop a bus around the corner to the Airport.  Just checked and my train is currently £30, may look at buses or wait till theres an apex. So without accomodation thats £130 already, what I do for my boys.

Great I have just checked out the Hilton Birmingham Metropole and its fully booked up for those dates, even better there is no rooms at the Crown Plaza or the Express By Holiday Inn :( I so knew I should have booked earlier.  Girls where on earth are we going to stay, most of the best ones seem to be sold out.

I did have other things to say but I am currently having a freak out.

I did this post a few days ago but fire-fox ate it so I couldn't be bothered doing it again.

I have to say a big THANK YOU to halfshellvenus for writing me this lovely birthday fic.  Is is Sam/Dean but is PG-13 and is such a gorgeous drabble, I  would  implore everyone to read it :)   Also huge *hugs* to the lovely cenea for writing me fluffy Richard/Jeremy Top Gear Slash for my birthday, its lovely and its here :) everyone go read now!

I still have a meme to do of pretty people, may get to that later.

With my big bro being up we decided to do a bit of the sight seeing thing, not that there is many sights to see  out here.  We hit John O'groats on Sunday, it was Harbour Day which meant trying to avoid the pipe band.  We dropped of Jason and Kasia so they could check out the Harbour  Day, pipe band included.   We took the dogs out around Dunnett's Head instead, at the right time of year you can see Puffins, sadly they had migrated by now.  There was plenty of Fulmars and Kittiwakes though.   After heading into  John O'Groats for some chips, running away from the pipe band and looking around the over priced shops it was time for home and Jas to cook us a lovely dinner of Chili Prawn Stir-Fry.

Today they have gone back to Aberdeen, we are planning on trying to go see Lee Evans in Glasgow in October, any of my Glasgow gals going or interested?

Yesterday at work I got presents and cake, I got a lovely necklace and a very pretty spending pot, for saving money in and then smashing when its full :) its too pretty though, I doubt any money will go in it, its too nice to smash.

Today when I got home I had a parcel, it was finally my Cd's for Jason Manns cancelled Edinburgh concert, supposedly I was sent a email, which I never got when the first lot went out.  As a apology I also got a t-shirt, two key rings, badges and Jason CD and Riley's CD I was meant to plus Jason & Jensen CD :)

Speaking of that, I haven't watched any of the Comic Con videos as I am scared of the spoiler, I will possibly watch with the sound off LOL.

Top Gear on Sunday was brilliant, very sad the series is over already but this weeks highlight had to be Hammond gracious winning of the bowler race.  Richard and Jeremy's reaction when The Stig *cough* sorry James beat Sabine and James *I was bound and gagged in the locker room* yes I bet you were *g* James made some great faces this episode.  Oh oh and the spitfires, can we get them in those flight suits a bit more often. 

I am now going to watch The F Word and swear at Gordon Ramsay as he kills puffins :(  and catch up with my flist.

The adventures of my sparkly chucks continue, I was at the hair dresser for the usual colour and cut yesterday, not long after I got into the shop she pounced on my shoes, she was stroking them at one point, if we had been the same shoe size I am pretty sure she would have tried to swipe them.

I discovered thanks to my brothers fiance that people check out my feet to see what shoes I'm wearing, her dad is on my bus to work everyday.  He came home and told her that I was wearing fancy shoes, silver sparkly ones.  He then reported the next day I was wearing purple ones.  I never realised anyone else paid attention to my feet. 

I do have a collection of unusual shoes, I got so bored with wearing black boring ones, I now collect different one.

I am still intending to post my Dallas Con photos, they are currently being uploaded (pokes wenchpixie, they still are right) to a online gallery.  I have spent most of today looking for photo frames online for my con photo shots etc.

I am right now waiting for Top Gear to start, hopefully it will distract me from what feels like the starting of toothache. Damn tooth has already had root canal treatment, I was told it would need a crown :(

 First off 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY frayen 

hope you have a wonderful day hun!

To my TG girls, looks like we have a Mr James May for MPH08, Yay for OT3 :)

I am still behind on my flist, I haven't gotten any further with my Creation Con report (also known as the adventures of the sequined chucks).  Pictures are forth coming, that may be all you can hope for.

I had a very child like afternoon, I watch Charlottes Web ( *cries* never a good idea) and then eat Butterscotch Angel Delight for the first time in years, it was like being 7 again.   I then went and read Top Gear Slash so maybe not quite 7 *g**

To continue with the food theme, I think it really sucks that I have to order ALL my favourite foods (apart from takeaway) via the net. 

So far today I have ordered lots of Indian Snacks known as Namkeens from Spices Of India.   I then proceeded to order a load of Peperami Fire-sticks as those things are like gold dust up here, since I have been able to pick them up in Glasgow I am having major cravings. 

I then proceeded to hunt down Walkers Pickled Onion crisps which are difficult to find, I successfully located them on the MOST AWESOME SITE EVER: Chocolate Buttons!  It has made me really hungry, so many sweeties :)

I feel the need to share some of the awesome new Top Gear pics, no spoilers, even though most TG fans like myself have been devouring every little detail about the new series and all the pics. LOL click for full size as normal.
