Cold, So Cold & I Quit

A big thank you to our ante post Derby hope of next year, Maze & Maraahel (above) who is fast becoming one of my fave racehorses of all time... even if he is owned by a rich Arab. The winner of The Royal Ascot Challenge was Top Dog, who came with a late flourish to clinch it. Well done!

1st place ----- Top Dog ----- 4 winners

2nd place ----- TJ ------ 3 winners

3rd place ----- Mini Cooper ----- 2 winners

We are now £324 down for the year & I hereby announce that I officially quit flat race betting as of today. My expertise lies with National Hunt horses & i can't afford to loose this much money every month, with the peanuts I earn. I don't mind giving the guys tips if they ask me nor indeed you guys but Im not personally putting any money up except for my choosen few all time favourite horses.

My first mini moan is; I was so cold at work today that I had to wear one of our company fleeces. Only mine kept folding over at the collar bit coz Im small & the jacket was a medium but I didn't care as I was warm!! Anyway it folded quite conveniently over the first bit of our company name so all it said (to the guys great amusement of course) was "ass". I don't mind that one as it IS my best feature if I don't say so myself. That's the only part of myself I like. Oh and my hair. I have great hair!

Another thing annoying me a little was the lack of explosion re AT & his use of a company vehicle for a private venture. Our rather soft leader it has to be said had calmed down over the weekend to the point he was virtually horizontal so he didn't even have a quiet word about the incident. He just let it slide. I personally can become angry over something at the drop of a hat - especially this week.

In happier news (or at least it is for some folk) my mam has bagged some free tickets through her mates husband to see Rod Stewart tonight at Newcastle Stadium. She saw him years ago when I was a much younger girl & it pissed down with rain then as well! How unlucky is that?! On the subject of concerts / gigs / shows or whatever the hell you wanna call them, I still aim to see Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, Sugababes, Gwen Stefani, No Doubt, Bon Jovi, U2, Madonna, Spice Girls, Sting, Scissor Sisters & Bryan Adams (again) before I shake off my mortal coil.

Ciao for now x
