Hidey Ho peoples
"Walk this WAAAAAYYYYYY" Yes im singing that song, you know the one whatsiz name sings the guy with the big gob and long hair.......oh what the hell is his name..................his daughters really pretty oh ?Jagger? Oh who cares anyway the reason im singing the song is because im planning the charity walks im gonna do next year. Charity walks are my new addiction I have done four so far this year I've got another one in december for diabetes, I'm dressing up as the Sugar Plum Fairy - I know ironic isn't it!
Im doing a load of 'walk the walk' walks, they're for breast cancer but they are also themed so you get to dress up! This year it was Mardi Gras for the Edinburgh MoonWalk and Bootled Beatles for the Newcastle SunWalk My profile pic is of me at the Edinburgh MoonWalk. So far for 2011 its Walk on the Wildside for the London Moonwalk and the Can Can for the Edinburgh MoonWalk! YAY I love dressing up!
The are also doing a London Sunwalk this year and there's the New York Marathon, Berlin Marathon, Great Scottish Half Marathon and even a MoonWalk in Iceland, anyone care to join me? So loads planned for next year I'll post my sponsership page when it is set up so anyone who wants to sponser me can do so online. I'm also gonna organise a Hafla, the proceeds of which will go to walk the walk. So watch this space!

Me and .........Momiji?!
My name is Nemi and Im a momiji aholic, AND IM NEVER GIVING UP............... NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MU HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes I am a sad fart but im a functioning sad fart! For those of you who have been living under a stone Momiji are little dolls with a hidden slot for a secret message and I LOVE THEM!!! It has taken years for me to get my friends and family to realise just how much i love them and the best person is my pal Izzy who bought me 4 yes 4 for my birthday this year I though I might actually expire with pleasure, then i got a double of giggles from my frinds Laura and Shona but that's ok cos the Giggle twins (as I call them) are happy sniggering away on my shelf with their colleagues. I will say if you buy one of these gorgeous little things for someone you have to write a message there is no point in leaving it blank the whole idea is to leave a special note for your giftee ..... something my dear friend Shona now knows!!
So anyway the reason for the blog is, well there is no reason im just gasing and sharing momiji love ;D

Me and my desire..........HTC desire that is
I went to the orange phone shop today to see about an upgrade, I saw the htc desire that I wanted and it was free on contract. Saw off a totter all smiles and asked about an upgrade ok says mr sales manny that'll be £49.99 uh I said it's free for a new contract why would a pay £50 quid?! Well says he that's the way it is for an upgrade, well says I, I'll leave it thanks and I'll shop around for a better deal, there I was thinking I might get them to budge but he just looks at me like I'm speaking Swahili.
So out I tromped muttering to my wee bro all the while, well we went into the carphone warehouse, which is right next door by the way, and asked them about the desire and what deals they had. Well says Stephen the lovely carphone warehouse manny,I can give it to you free on orange as an upgrade and give you your call plan at £25 a month. This is saving me about £15 a month and I get the phone I 'desired' ;) for free - RESULT. I was a so close to getting the phone and parading into the orange store and rubbing their faces in it, but I am a lady so I didn't.
So the moral of the story is shop the hell around and get the best deal you can!

Me and the opposite sex......oh boy!
Mum has suggested I go on single Muslim dot com like I haven't tried enough marriage sites URGH you non Muslim peeps will have no idea just how sleazy some of these guys are, actually you might ok so collective shudder! At least they're only trying to date most of you girls but they want the marriage and babies with the likes of me (again ugh) but hay anything for a laugh I mean sometimes the chat up lines are quite funny for example one guy wrote how women were like flowers and he liked to smell the flowers?!? I kid you not! Or the time I went to Jordan and was told that a tall dark gorgeous man was coming to ask for my hand (granted this was from his sister) and that he would love me cos I was so nice but that I would need to lose weight (yes just what I said what can I say Arabs are very very blunt!) Well enter the man and guess what............shamou the whale lumbered in! Now don't think I'm fattist or something as the proud owner of some killer curves (literally, I could crush a man!) I'm not against big men infect I quite like a large guy however this guy was big and I NEEDED TO LOSE WEIGHT seriously I can see my toes (if I move my boobs out the way) this guy couldn't have seen anything in a two foot radius of his toes!
Then there was the guy who looked freakily like my dad but had a weird osama bin laden air, I'll explain I asked him if he could cook and clean he asked me what religious authors I liked and what school of Islam I followed ummmmm I'm a Muslim....... not enough ok I'm Sunni ......... I mean hello yes there are different levels of faith but dude try not to freak a girl out on the first meeting!
The closest I ever got to maybe getting married was oh let's call him Dr heart, not original I know but if you actually knew the whole story then you'd understand the nickname anyway he was yummy I mean girls.......YUMMY! But he wanted to date, now I'm Muslim, Muslims don't date that's why we have marriage sites not dating sites if I wanted to date I'd date and the guy would be from Ed or Glasgow you know somewhere close by not frigging middlesborough!!! Anyway we met a couple of times and the rules kinda are he should meet my dad you know so dad can make sure he's good enough for his little tyrant (me) and he can ask dads permission to marry me see simple, but nooooo Dr scaredy pants wasn't psychologically ready to meet daddy dearest - what? We're talking a full grown ass man here so I sent him back home even though he'd only just arrived. I then proceeded to burst into tears I vowed never to make such an ass of myself again cos truth be told I actually liked him but I know he wasn't the right one but I felt attractive for once, oh well sh@t happens.
After Dr heart there was a lull but I got talked into going to a Muslim conference by my mum and sister, now this was fun. Mum came with me for moral support but when we walked into a room full of Asians we thought we'd gotten lost but no we were in the right place. Now Arabs and Asians don't tend to inter marry and as I was a foot taller then the majority of the men there I kinda stuck out, yay for me! NOT! Any hoo long story short it was more like speed dating for Muslims bloody funny after the original shyness but to this day my family laugh at how only I could go to find a man and come away with girlfriends! We're still in touch a year later.
So still single, happily so don't go crying tears over me or anything but if it happens it happens and if not well I'm always here to listen to everyone elses man probs - it'll just make happier I don't have one :)
So yeah me and the opposite sex so not happening it's easier to get oil and water to mix!

Labyrinth and the lazy girl........oh that's me
Hello hello hello
What have I done today, well I stayed at my mum's last night cos I was too lazy to go home and I was comfy curled up on the sofa watching criminal minds. Then when I got up this morning I cleaned mums kitchen cos I am a fabulous daughter and occasional clean freak, my OCD just couldn't hack looking at it any more! We then picked up my nephew and my pregnant waddly sister, dropped off said waddly sister at work and went to ikea where I proceeded to want all the flat pack furniture because without it my life will obviously not be complete?! What is it about ikea even in the recession it's busy as hell and it doesn't matter how recently you redecorated it triggers the need to do it all again, I think they pump something into the air! Any how I now have a list of thing I need ...I mean want to buy so that I can store my excessive amounts of crap, why get rid of it when there is a storage solution for everything? Any way mum then came to mine for tea and home made soup (did I mention I'm a fab daughter? I even cook :D) we then watched Killers on the tv and ate a ridiculous amount of chocolate, oh well at least I won't waste away! Mum has now gone to pick up my wee bro, I did mention I'm the eldest of 7 didn't I? It's all down the the rabbit gene experiments of the 1950's, haven't heard of them? That's cos it's a conspiracy!
Anyway I'm now in my room blogging to you lot watching labyrinth cos it's my fav and the best! When I should actually be tidying my room and organising my afore mentioned crap, hence the title of the blog.
