"Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood."

Ooooh what a fun and odd day I've had today, well hmm, maybe I shouldn't start like that, I get the feeling I'm going to waffle and not make much sense, which I guess is the usual for me, but I'll try to be at least slightly understandable! My day started odd, me and a 'friend', a very good 'friend', weren't getting on really, and I can't really explain why, which is even more frustrating. It was all through a lack of communication which is odd because this 'friend' is just about the only person I can spend hours on end talking to and it feels like minutes. If I'm honest I'm not very good at small talk I find it pointless and I don't understand why it takes so much effort to say absolutley nothing. Like oooh the weathers nice today, do we care? Even if we do, the other person can kind of see for themselves what the weather is like, so all they can do is agree with you and then its conversation dead, so I'd prefer to sit in silence than be fake with someone, I guess this can be mistaken for ignorance but it's really not. I just like to have meaningful conversations, not even meaningful, just not totally pointless. So me and this 'friend', well we had a minor disagreement, not even a disagreement, I wasn't in a good mood, they wasn't in a good mood, and we clashed, and it seemed the more I tried to make things better the more things didn't work. Really I should of just been natural and I was, just trying to hard to make things right and it left me feeling worse about the whole situation. This 'friend' means alot to me though and I think they understand me, and I even think they were feeling the same so hopefully things will work themselves out, I'm not going to see them for a few days now, which isn't going to be good, I'd prefer to be on better terms, but these things seem to have a way of sorting themselves out, I'm going to miss them alot though....what will be will be .

That's the odd part of the day done with, now to the fun bit, which technically wasn't fun as it saw me covered in baby sick and drool, but nevermind that! My gorgeous niece Maddy Mae, the most adorable creature on earth, wow I love her to bits, everytime I see her she seems to get cuter, and I'm turning into one of these people that used to irritate me, you know the kind of person that thinks their kid is perfect, that their shit smells of roses, I'm definatly getting like that with Maddy Mae, but I don't care, shes gorgeous, apart from the shit and pukey part, hehe! I have two sisters, Katy and Lou, Katy is Maddy Mae's Mummy, and Lou is well, she's just insane. Katy is 27 and a single Mum, and I'm so proud of her, I know that may sound odd, if I ever have kids I want to be in a stable relationship and give the kid a full time Mummy and Daddy, but things don't always work out how you want them, and you have to deal with the circumstances you get yourself into, and that's what my sister is doing. Maddy Mae's Dad isn't really helpful, he's crap If I'm honest, but the way I see it is he's the one losing out, this beautiful little girl is so precious, and If he can't see that more fool him. However it does leave my sister with alot of pressures, but she's coping so well, she does have help and support, but at the end of the day it's just her and Maddy Mae, and she is a wonderful Mum, I am really proud of her! So I spend the day with them today, and it's great, though I have to say its put me off having kids for a long time. Maddy is cute and everything, but damn she's hard work, it's constant, she's hungry, her nappy needs changing, she's tired, she's puked. Yucky, yuck, yuck, she seems to wait for me to hold her, then this projectile vomit will start, lovely. I've come to the conclusion that its a sign of affection, as she can't talk yet it's her only way of letting Auntie Sally know she loves her, so that enables me, just about to deal with the puke !

Easter tomorrow, I quite like Easter as it goes, though it sends my Mum into this insane person, that gets obsessed about the whole family been together and getting on ok, and if you knew my family you'd realise that's never going to happen, they all to insane, so the best I can hope for is I get to hide away from them till I go away, brave person that I am! Anyway I think that's enough for today, hope you all have a nice Easter, Bye folks xxx

Sorry to hear about the disagreement with your friend; I hope things work out.

I have a lil sister who's far to cute for her own good, so I definitely know what you mean.

I'm sure a billionaire would beg a working class girl to marry his son on the internet, I do like you Sally but you must learn to tell when I am joking.
