Mannequin

How do I get closer to you?
When you keep it all on mute,
How will I know the right way to love you?

Usually the Queen of figuring out,
Breaking down a man is no work out,
But I have no clue,
How to get through to you.

Oh, I wanna hit you just to see if you cry
I keep knockin' on wood, hoping there's a real boy inside.

Cos you're not a man,
You're just a Mannequin,
I wish you could feel, that my love is real
But you're not a man.

I wish I could just turn you on
Put a battery in and make you talk
Even pull a string for you to say anything

But with you there is no guarantee
Only expired warranty
A bunch of broken parts
And I can't seem to find your heart

Oh, I'm such a fool
This one's outta my hands
I can't put you back together again

Cause you're not a man
You're just a Mannequin
I wish you could feel that my love is real
But you're not a man
You're just a toy
Could you ever be a real, real boy
And understand
But you're not a man.

Molly Mo Bowley

2 weeks ago I announced the birth of my first niece Summer who now has the prettiest of middle names - Fern.

Whilst she now looks like this:




New Baby Molly Mo Bowley weighing in at 6lb 12oz looks like this:



Two beautiful little ladies have entered my life and Auntie Emily is pleased as punch :o) I don't know how pleased punch was but I do know it's a very very very big lot.

Little Molly Mo and Little Summer Fern will be the best of friends and as close as sisters. Now all I need is to purchase a Big Cousin t-shirt for Summer and a Little Cousin t-shirt for Molly. It must be done! Even though Molly is almost a whole pound more than Summer, what a little fatty! :)

I just can't wait until the next time I see them. Molly is the image of her Dad so far but she has the Shawyer/Bowley trade mark lips. Watch out Angelina, Molly's in town! :-)

Girls rock! <3

Itsy bitsy baby, still itsy bitsy.

So whaddaya know, Summer is still iddy diddy -



How amazing would it be if we all stayed baby sized? Although officially not possible. We would find it difficult to eat, get dressed or converse with other humans. Not much of a life obviously!

I haven't seen Summer since Saturday and I miss her already :) Plus she must be missing her Auntie Em by now, poor little soul. This will be rectified ASAP!

On a completely separate subject, what is an appropriate time to wait until just agreeing with somebody because you didn't hear what they said? I usually give it three but to be honest that is only when i'm really interested in the conversation. If I'm not it's one strike and you're out. I had such an example this morning and I simply just made a chuckle as my answer as i'm pretty sure said person was trying to make a joke. For all I know they could have said they just had a bereavement and I laughed out loud. I think note to self: LISTEN. If you haven't heard it ask them to repeat it, and if you really haven't heard it just own up to being stupid and deaf, or have a pop at them for speaking so quietly. I'm pretty sure people do this to me all the time, but this is because I talk too fast. Must learn to slow down!

I am pleased that I have a 4 day week at work this week - not pleased that I have had to sacrifice my work at home day for meetings though, boo! Friday is going to be epic come rain or shine. I'll be boppin' to the beat of the radio with Kings of Leon! Helllll yeeeah. IOW Festival is upon us once again and this year I am going to make it one to remember and not just for the fact I will remember it because half my family won't be there! Boo to all you baby havers! :( I do hope we embark on the obligatory fish and chips at Callum and Karen's house on Friday arvo, canny wait!

I think time is running out to purchase a season ticket for PFC this season, I left this job to my Dad but it seems as though he is increasingly less bothered as the days go on. He will then of course moan at me for not prompting him or indeed sorting something myself. Hmmmmmm, Dad if you read this, come onnnnnnnn get it sorted. I love de footy! Love from your bestest Daughter in the whole wide world.

On a fresh note - we paid off Florida! Alls I gotta do now is budget for spending and buy tickets. My plan is as follows -

Mum, Dad + Siblings = Universal Ticket for my birthday = £90 Purchase July.
Disney World Ticket = £220 Purchase June 29th Pay Day
Discovery Cove All Inclusive Day Package = £130 Purchase July Pay Day

June Payday = £200 Dollars
July Payday = £300 Dollars
August Payday = £600 Dollars

Total Spending Monday = £1100

This is pretty much all I can afford and to be honest i'll be amazed if this plan comes together! Here's hoping! There is absolutely no reason why I can't do it so bring it on! I also need to go about purchasing a travel money card which I have found on moneysupermarket.com need to run this by Dad because Dad is the center of all sense (at times, don't tell him I said that). I also need to purchase Travel Insurance. Mustn't forget!

Closer and closer, 101 days! A bit like 101 Dalmations but less dogs and more waiting for Florida.

Can't wait to see Jayboy tonight, we're going on a radical trip to Asda. Yeah man.

Baby Summer

So basically this is my new niece - Summer Shawyer.



She is the best thing since sliced bread and we all know that sliced bread was pretty cool.

At this very moment I love her more than life itself and I think Caroline and Damien are going to be pretty damn good parents :-)

Bring on the Auntie duties!!
