Home Alone

Maria Lawson from X-Factor
Maria, you had talent lady!

Phil is up early again today as he's got to go back to London to finish the job he started yesterday - poor sod! But after my late night last night I don't get up very early and have an unexpected lay in (you know one of the lay in's where you say you'll just have 30 minutes more, and then all of a sudden its 2 hours later).

When I do get up, and after a bit of breakfast, it isn't long before I've got the vacuum and various other cleaning implements in my hands and I start to give the house a good going over. It's not been cleaned for a few weeks and so tackling it is a bit of a mammoth job to say the least... but 5 hours later and I'm done.

I then make the fatal mistake of just sitting and doing nothing. I can't stand to go to the computer and look at a monitor, I just can't face it and so sit in front of the TV instead. You see I guess you could say that I should have taken a leaf out of the "how to warm up and cool down after a cleaning session book" because just stopping dead after 5 hours of bending, stretching and general body movement has resulted in me ending up like a cripple. I can hardly move! So what's a girl to do? That's right, just stay sat in front of the TV where nothing hurts :)

The Conway Sisters from X-Factor
Conways, give it up! You know you don't deserve your place in the competition!

Phil gets home a little after 5 and is still tinkering with work stuff, but he takes a break to go to the supermarket where we get some things for tea. We then watch X-Factor, and what a travesty! A load of squarking-irish-wanna-be-Corrs stayed in at the expense of a very talented could-be-tina-turner all because the judge with the deciding vote was irish! Shocking, he needs shooting, as do the Conway sisters. The last thing the pop world needs is yet another manufactured girl group with variable talent. I hope Louis Walsh gets lynched for making such a terrible decision based on nationality rather than ability to perform.

I hope Maria gets a contract despite being voted out, and so she should, I mean she's got the legs, the boobs, the looks and the voice to make an enviable singer.
