THE NEW IMPROVED 50

It's been a while since I last blogged on here..Since then I've turned 50 and grew my hair...They tell you to cut it short past 50..I think I'll continue to grow it as long as I want...Who cares what they say!...People over 50 are no longer the new blue rinse & twin set brigade...We are the new 50 plus...Only now we have to prove we aren't using a photo on line from 20 years ago...One way to prove it is to wear a New in 2015 item..no disputes can be raised then...Don't you agree? dancing

DILEMMA

I have a dilemma I ordered some wrinkles 10 years ago and they didn't arrive..I'm going to be 50 in 2 weeks time & no-one believes me. I have done everything I can to get wrinkles, I've smiled constantly for almost half a century, laughed as loud as I can and nothing seems to help create the wrinkles I crave.
My granddaughter who lives with me says I don't look like a grandmother and therefore she doesn't have to listen to me. I'm at a loss as to why I can't join the wrinkle brigade...

CRAZY CAT WOMAN

Embedded image from another site

Yeste­­­­rday ­morning ­I woke up early and I could feel the atmosphere in the air and the neighbours spectacles slipping down her nose to see what the mad women next door was going to do next!!It was a bright sunny morning in the life of Unique..It was also the morning after the night before the day before that and on that day it rained a thousand buckets...
Sorry folks I've been reading to the kids and it's hard to get out of that mode..Apologies..I am a natural comedian I attract madness in many forms and that includes my own and that of other peoples...
So it goes like this:-
Nothing can be worse than having a puncture in a brand new Michelin Tyre and what can you do on a Bank Holiday weekend but improvise... A bicycle repair kit..doubled up of course and the car got from A to B but never got from B to A..The barsteward deflated..You would think a spare tyre would be handy in this situation and guess what?There wasn't one!
My friend had to cadge a lift home.
She arranged someone to come and fix it yesterday at 7.00am...and on this one off unsunny day she got a lift in what could only be described as a hill billy pick up truck but it wasn't any old pick up trunk it was a pick up truck with a difference...OMFL(oh my flipping life) it was one with windscreen wipers that had malfunctioned and they wouldn't turn off...Basically her boyfriend gave her a lift in a bat mobile..
What could I say when it parked outside my house and she got out...I was in hysterics!!...My god and he didn't even turn the bat mobile off when he dropped her here and he was driving it with a straight face..Apparently she laughed all the way here and all he could say was shurup...shurup!!!

I know for a fact my neighbours all think I'm nuts but they still invite me in their houses because it's not me it's the other people around me who are nuts.I'm just the one picking up the pieces..and it's hard to distinguish as well we do have squirrels around here in woods and such...
My new neighbours haven't spoken to me since my cat licked it's balls outside their house..I mean cats do that don't they?..It's only natural and my Elvesta was 16 Years old on May 1st­ ...We had a party for him even though he wasn't guaranteed to be actually there..he was instead outside my new neighbours house LMAO!
If only people could see the funny side of things instead of being so stiff upper lipped..They all try it until they get used to the situation..I've been here a long long time...Maybe too long and I think maybe other neighbourhoods could benefit from me moving in NEXT DOOR...Don't you think so?

Supernatural

Just was wondering whether anyone here believes in ghost...spirits...orbs...Are they real or is it just playback from a time bygone?..Are orbs the energy of the dead...or just bits of dust floating around?...If they are real what is their purpose here...Why come back?...
Also if there is no such thing as ghosts why have people claimed to 'see' them when others haven't ever seen...

Retail therepy

Once a week I need therapy goes without saying doesn't it?...and all because I'm a women and the beauty of being single means I can buy what I like and not get my ears blasted off for doing so..I can also sleep on both sides of my superking bed.

It's this kind of luxury that makes singleness so appealing...All the men in my life know just how much that means to me....Of course I am joking who needs a man when I have moi, me, myself & I...and after listening to various friends complaining about their men...It reinforces just how lucky I am to be single...Phew!

For example I took a 2 hr stroll in the supermarket 'food' shopping...Well you know I get distracted in there..You can buy almost anything in the supermarkets these days you know and it's like candy to a baby putting all those clothes in my view...but I resisted the temptation today and only bought two items but I did 'need' them very much thank you to go with my black 'Jack Daniels'Ladies T-shirt...Why would I need anything to go with my Jack Daniel T-shirt?..Well it's a neverending tale...like why does a dog bark at the postman?...

They do sell fresh flowers in the supermarket in each single colour even colours you never see in a real flower and they ARE real..they do not smell real but they are..like I say who needs a man when £4.99 buys a bouquet of green flowers!!!...

and eventually I did get on to food shopping..

French fries crisps..80 calories a bag..
Mini Jack Daniels...only because it goes with my t-shirt
Prepared salad...I can not be bothered to cut up pieces of cucumber it's bad enough having to eat it..I really like cucumber!!
Prawns...
5 Counties cheese...
Seriously strong..I have no idea it's on the receipt LOL..
Lamb Moussaka...I fancied a bit of Greek this week..
A pack of Light bulbs..Well that guy 'eats them' on tv right..thought I would try one myself..no cals only 40 watts..It says so on the packet..
Coleslaw...more coleslaw...red pepper...
Scientific calculator...To add up how many Watts I've eaten...
A Book AND a Pen set..
BOLD Washing powder.. so my daily wash knows I mean business!
Potato salad..
Ham...
Well I didn't buy much in the way of food because I'm on a diet...and I reckon I would have been in dead trouble if I hadn't of been single when I took so long doing my weekly food shop this week...
Yes I made some bright choices for a Blonde so thats my therapy done and I'm all well & happy now...for the next 7 days...

NEW YEAR NEW FISH

I was going to start a kipper diet today but I changed my mind as thought it was a ­RED HERRING...and this started me thinking about other fishy stuff...
I've done quite a bit of fishing in my life and none better but when I was younger...I guess the young ­Unique Crystal ­was keen on fishing from an early age..and to be fair I was showing potential as a eager young fisher woman way back...
I came to this conclusion even though I was already barred from the fishing rod itself and demoted as I felt at the time to a ­ground line...­Yeah apparently I was too lethal at casting out even though I hadn't snared anyone whilst doing so..Okay it was a near miss but anyway there was me the child ­Unique...complete ­with ­ground line ­forced to fish at the edge of the harbour...and I became quite good at it though I never got promoted to a fishing rod due to the day someone standing below m­e fishing under the harbour wall...He ­'foul hooked' ­my fish..a plaice...and reeled it in like a thief...I went absolutely crazy!!!
I marched down to the foul hooker and demanded MY fish!...He being 6 ft and 19 ish looked at the mere 13 Years old girl screeching and laughed and continued to kept the fish...Mind you he didn't get away with it because I took the entire bucket of his bait and threw them all over him...sand eels slime and all...and as he went to clock me one...I stood there saying "Don't even think about it!!!" and turned round and stumped all the way up the steps back where I'd came from...
My apologetic father picked the sand eels up for the young man and said sorry to the fish thief...I found that cowardly LOL...
Hence to say I was barred completely from fishing after this...Unfairly!
But still I had one anchor and one foul hooked fish to my credit.. Since then I have always fished on land...

BUYING & SELLING

A while ago I decided for every thing I want I need to get rid of something I don't want...So that started me selling...I wanted to go to Las Vegas this year so I sold all my gold and went to Vegas in Feb...I played roulette & the slot machines and I won..I gave up when the going was good and kept the money...I went to Britney Spears Piece of me concert in Vegas..Saw the Bellagio fountains display...Went to the White Tiger Habitat at the Mirage hotel...Visited the Juicy Couture outlet(and bought a handbag)...Walked the Strip...and many other things... All in a weekend!!!...I had realised there was no use in keeping gold when I have a life to live...
When I got back I continued to sell...I swapped my whole wardrobe of clothes for brand new different ones...and went on 3 further holidays...and numerous day trips...4 times I went across the sea to The Channel Islands...back home where I was born...I went to Butlins for a weekend away and came back to look forward to The clothes show...I bought more clothes but I sold more of what I didn't want or wear any longer...This year has been my best year so far and all because I sold what I didn't use or want...
Next year in March I am going to Egypt...Can't wait!!...I officially have the selling bug folks...I even thought of selling my ex husband...I should have thought of that one before now ....

Oh Christmas Tree

Embedded image from another site

In my house Christmas never ends...I've had a Christmas Tree up for past 5 years..It's Christmas everyday here...Through all the seasons Spring,Summer,Autumn & Winter the Christmas Tree has withstood it all...Come rain or shine it's always there...I'd love to be able to take it down some day even bi-annually would be good...But it's not worth the trouble it would cause...My son who's 29 in Jan has Autism...and he won't allow the Tree to come down at all...He's fixated with it and doesn't like change of any kind...so the tree it stays..
This year I added another tree he was delighted...For him Christmas is not about the presents he'll get...It's all about the Christmas Tree...The tinsel...The lights!!

I don't really mind the tree is part of the furniture now... rolling on the floor laughing
