Secrets of a girls handbag!!!

So, one of my friends picked up my bag the other day and the words out of her mouth were these..... 'Jesus Trace what the hell have you got in there????' To which I replied 'just my stuff!'. This got me thinking as to what DO I actually have in the depths of my bag!!

We all know that if it's not in a girls hand bag it's not worth having. I have just emptied my bag and i've decided to let you in on the secret!!

So here you are..... what I carry round on a daily basis!!

The list of crap is as follows:

A tin of coffee (if i leave it in work some bugger would drink it on me)

An empty Ghostbusters sweet tin (what you don't have one in your bag???)

An umbrella (well we do live in England).

My work ID

Hair Bobbles (anyone with long hair will carry spare ones of these!)

Purse x2 (not coz i'm loaded) one is for rare paper money and cards, the other for coins)

Fanta Grape flavour lip balm (for sursprise chapped lips).

Ozzy Osbourne CD (taken out of my car).

A Touriquet ( I am a nurse after all).

Various pens (us nurses looooove pens).

Sunglasses (that won't stay in the case).

Perfume x2 (a girl needs a choice).

Sweetners (for above coffee).

Mini post it notes (work related).

Sachet of Marmite (so? I love Marmite..... sue me!!)

An apple (snackage).

Diary (self explanatory).

Ipod Touch ( gotta have music wherever I am!!!)

SD card adapter (who knows why thats in there???.... answers on a postcard).

A pack of Go Ahead biscuits or as I call them Go'eds (for when an apple just won't cut it).

A small toy pick up truck!!!!! ((keeps my nephew Luke quiet when he's in the car).

Lip gloss x2 (see perfume explanation)

Mascara-Black ( ya never know when ya might need a bit of mazzy).

Small make up bag contents- anadin extra (for those pesky headaches and hangovers).

Hand cream (no-one likes rough hands).

Really cool blingy skull broach I bought in work today ( I have a thing for skulls).

Mirror compact (well ya need to see where ya putting ya mazzy and lip gloss!!!).

Car and House keys (well come on... if these weren't in there i'd be locked out AND have to walk everywhere!!!).


So there you have it....... what Tracy lugs about in her bag!!!!....... in essence a shit load of crap!!!

Inside the chaos!!

My gorgeous Pauls Boutique Skull bag!

The shit that lies beneath!!!!!!













 

Turn it up mother bitches!!!

So I can't really call my blog the ramblings of a heavy metal nurse with out talking about music!

As the title suggests i'm one of those head banging, black wearing types..... I have never been a pink and glittery kind of girl (much to my friend Kims disgust) but I do have some shameful albums in my collection that really doesn't belong in a rockers library!!... for that I apologise to the rock gods!!

So what am i admitting to listening to?

Well anyone that knows me knows I am totally obsessed with Black Stone Cherry (they are permanently on in my car, ipod and house!!). If you have never heard them before I suggest you check them out they are amazing!! I've seen them live 5 times and i'm also the proud owner of Chris and Ben's plectrums (well i think it's pretty cool anyway!!)

 



So what else do I have running around on my Ipod? Well you'll find Motley Crue, Nickleback, Stonesour, Slipknot, Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, AC/DC, Aerosmith, 3 Doors Down, Def Leppard, most 80's hair metal and rock bands. I've actually got fed up listing them now because there are so

many!! The best time of my life was the weekends I used to frequent the local rock clubs!!!

 

Anyone that says rock music is crap doesn't know what they are missing and as a parting gift from this particular insallment i give you Black Stone Cherry!!!!!

 

Get ya lugholes round this!!!

A few things you should know about nurses/nursing!

Ok i've been a nurse now since I was 18 so no matter how shocking or gross you think something is, believe me i've seen worse.
When you are a nurse you develop a thick skin, and nothing really upsets us... for instance i've been pee'd on, poo'd on and once someone puked in my pocket....niiiiccceeeee (thanks for that). We have bladders that can hold 2 litres and we have eyes in the back of our heads. I think we are all pretty awesome and I love my job and my collegues (stories about them soon). No matter how crap our day is we look after each other!! 

When you work where I do (pre-op and theatres) the day is filled with the same questions you ask your patients day in, day out. So can I just say, if any of you that read this blog (if anyone) ever has to go to hospital for an operation there are a few things you should know:

1. When I ask you if you have an allergy to something, Saying 'the wife/girlfriend and/or work really isn't funny!! oh and also don't bother with pain or doctors either!!

2. When I ask you if you have any problems with your hearing please don't say 'What' or 'pardon' because I can gaurentee i've already heard that little gem at least twice that day!!!

3. When I ask you what time you last had some thing to eat or drink . I mean the time you last ate or DRANK!!..... I don't know why it's difficult to answer that but at least 75% of people will answer the said question with........ 'oh before midnight yesterday' but I now know to follow that with 'was that your last drink too?' to which I get the reply 'oh no love I had a drink at 6am this morning'!!!!!! 
Erm i'm sure I just asked the time of your last food or DRINK?? Not just food!!!!. This does sound petty but I hate looking like a div when the anaesthetist asks the same question and I have differing information written down on a Leagal document!!

4. When I need to take a blood sample from you and I say 'keep as still as you can please', That means DON'T MOVE or i'll no doubt have to stick another needle in you because you moved  the first time!!!

5. Lastly when ask if you have anyone to stay with you overnight after your operation, asking me if i'm free after work really isn't an option!!

One thing that baffles nearly every nurse (female ones anyway) is why blokes think the nurses uniform is sexy!!
They are uncomfortable, unflattering and you boil your ass off wearing them.

So this.......  isn't what we wear, SORRY!!

This IS what we wear!......... SEXY EH!!!........ NOT...... oh BTW I have no idea who these people are!!

I'll have plenty of stories to tell about being a nurse but this will do you all for now!

Is it a man thing???

I left my room in work for 5 minutes so that the docs can see a patient and I walked back into this mess!!!
So what i want to know is......Is it a males sole purpose in life to create mess and chaos where ever they go????

 

Welcome to my world!!

 Happy Tuesday peeps!!

So whats the best thing about bank holiday Mondays???? It means there is only 4 working days til the weekend.....Get in!!

So I was talking to a mate today about the saying 'you learn something new everyday' and if its really true. Hmmmmm so what information do have in my old brainbox that wasn't there yesterday? Well, I have just read on a friends Facebook status that a venus fly trap could eat an entire cheeseburger???...... Ok I have a few questions about this..... 1. Who the hell fed a venus flytrap a cheeseburger to find out this little bit of information?? 2. Do you get vegetarian flytraps that will only eat quorn burgers? and 3. do they prefer Burger king or McDonalds???....... these are the types of things that keep me awake at night...... scary eh?

Unfortunately I don't have any funny stories from today's daily grind at the hospital but as soon as I do they will be hitting this blog. So stay tuned!

Lastly another little insight into my life is that I have a 16 month old nephew called Luke who i absolutely adore. He makes me laugh so much but I do have to admit that being the nutcase auntie that I am the poor child is tormented to death. I spoil him rotten but I doubt he will thank me when he's older when he sees some of the photos I have of him. For example I take great pleasure in buying him clothes my brother and his partner would never buy him!

So for now i'll leave you with a few pictures of my poor tormented nephew and a selection of Auntie T's clothing choices.

Well hello there, I suppose I'd better start with a little introduction.

*ahem* (clears throat) My name is Tracy I'm 37 years old and I'm an alcoholic... (haha I'm not really, I just thought this sounded like the start of some lame group therapy session) i'm a nurse in our local hospital. I've started this blog because quite frankly I thought it might be fun to actually put down in text, some/all of the random stuff that fills my tiny mind.

So, what will I be posting on this blog? I suppose it will be stuff like what I do, things I find funny, things that annoy me, music I like...... blah blah blah.

Ok so my first little snippet into the chaos inside my head is that I am trying out a new recipe tonight of cod wrapped in parma ham.... now this is a big thing for beacause i'm not the biggest lover of fish but i'm willing to give anything ago once......... i'll let you know what its like!!
So the first little annoyance of mine I will let you into is that I hate the person who designed vacuum packs for food...... it think it was Satan himself, and tonights feast was full of the buggers!!!

Anyway, thats it for now, i'm off to wrestle with some vacuum packs!!
