Have they made you welcome?

This week's prompts have been set by Hedgie and will take a bit of thinking about.
The first one is have they made you feel welcome. Well Claire after ignoring me for almost a year on her desk, has made me very welcome and Zoe is always asking to play with me, so I have been made very welcome - all except for James.
James just basically ignores me. I don't think he gets what all the fuss is about and doesn't understand the toy challenge at all. Claire had to beg to get this photo - he was making rude gestures and faces in all the other ones.

My first text

Well yesterday I got my very first text message and it was from Jeffery and it had a picture attached to it. I am not really into technology so I got Claire to show it to me.

This is what the message said:

"To my dear Pamela

Opened my eyes this mornin and this is wot i saw...! This must be wot it feels like 2 be hurt, i am so sorry if ive ever hurt u, i can now understand why u havent given me an answer yet ut i want u 2 know i love u wiv all my bendy heart!! Love from ur tux tease xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

Here is the photo - it is Daisy his wife with another toy from Alli's desk.

This has helped me reach my decision but I can't say what it is on here yet as I need to tell Jeffery the answer first on Monday.

My Best Personality Trait

I had to ask Claire for some advice on this today and most of the traits that she would use to describe were a bit negative such as naive, gullible, easily led, indecisive etc. I think she thinks this is due to the Jeffery situation.

Anyway we have decided my best trait is that I am very caring. I was just roller skating around Claire's office today and I bumped into this lovely little girl. We were having a little chat - she was asking about my skates. I asked where her Mummy and Daddy were as I was concerned about her wandering around by herself. And guess what, it turns out that it is Jeffery's little girl Bev and he had sent her out to talk to me. It was all a big set up.

So Claire is right - I am gullible.

If I had one wish only, what would it be?

Today is the 29th January and I need to give Jeffery an answer to his proposal by the 1st February and I still don't know what to do. So my one and only wish would be to know what the right thing to do would be. If I say yes, will I regret it for the rest of my life but then again, if I said no, would I regret that too?

If you could choose one special meal?

Well my meal wouldn't necessarily be all that special but combined with my ideal dinner guest, it would be pretty fantastic. Chocolate fondue with strawberries and marshmallows and George Clooney.

If you could buy just one item, no expense spared?

Well this has to be the easiest of all of Karen's prompts. If money were no object, then the thing that I would definitely want to get, would be hair extensions. I am easily as beautiful as Catherine Zeta Jones but her hair is a bit glossier than mine. I think I may have to speak to Claire nicely.

After a bad day, what would cheer me up?

Well as you all know I have had a difficult time lately what with Jeffery dumping me and then coming back out of the blue and proposing to me, so I have had a few bad days and I know exactly what would cheer me up.

This man here...

A good looking man with big strong arms to keep me safe.

Who would I most like to meet?

Well this one is easy. I would dress up in my new evening dress and make sure that I look my best. The person I would most like to meet would be Pink of course as she is named after me! We would have so much in common as we are both so funky!

Where would I most like to visit?

Claire came back today with some more new clothes for me today and one of the outfits came with roller blades - how fantastic!!! So that made me think of wanting to visit somewhere hot like Florida where I could skate along the seafront with my iPod on looking cool in my new gear. I bet I could turn some heads out there.

What do I wish that I hadn't done yesterday

Oh wow!!! Claire and James were having their Wii night last night and whilst Claire was busy beating James at Archery, I snuck some of her pear cider. It tasted so good that I drunk half the bottle and as you can see it is quite a large bottle. Well the room began to spin and I had to go and have a lie down. Next minute, I woke up and it was morning - boy did I have a banging headache. So I had a lie in until I smelt James cooking bacon sandwiches.

What do I wish I was doing right now

The last of Debbie's prompts for the week is what do I wish I was doing right now. Well it has rained all week and has been miserable, so I wish that I have passed my driving test and am out on the open highway with the wind in my hair on a hot sunny day - maybe with the love of my life sitting beside me.

My favourite spot at home

I am very lucky to live in the same house as a four year old as this means that then I get to play with lots of her toys. My favourite thing is the Fifi playground. I love climbing up the netting and then whizzing down the slide. It is so much fun.

My annoying habits

I like to think of myself as "Perfect Pamela" but I do have one annoying habit which I would love to break. I can't help myself but I bite my nails. I know it is a disgusting habit, but I just can't stop.

My evening routine

In the evening I like to come home and sit in front of the mirror with a glass of wine and brush my lovely lustrous hair. One hundred strokes every night.

What is a girl to do?

Well I have spent the day pondering my predicament and I would like to thank my friends for the excellent advice that they have given me - except maybe from Curly as I think she has a hidden agenda and is trying to keep Bongo all to herself.

I know Jeffery deserves an answer but I want to take my time and make sure I make the right decision. And as Bongo says, he does have green hair. I need to think very carefully about what to do.

So I have decided to write him a letter so that he will understand how I am feeling:

Dear Jeffery

What a surprise your proposal was. I thought that when you chose Daisy and your kids over me, that that was it and I had to move on. My heart was broken into a million shards of plastic and I spent almost a year on Claire's desk unloved and neglected. But now she has given me a new lease of life and I am in for a very exciting year. If I said yes to you, what would happen to my year of adventure?I am making new friendships and I know a couple of them are interested in me romantically. Maybe I need to explore those possiblities further before I know I would be making the right decision regarding marrying you.

Your proposal was just the last thing I ever expected to happen. And seeing you in your tux makes me go weak at the knees. I love the roses - they are beautiful! You and I have spent many a happy hour together and it would be so easy to accept your marriage proposal and slip back into our old routine. However I am just so unsure. I am not sure that I want to take on Nev, Bev and Kev. I am not sure that I am cut out to be a step-mum to 3 four year olds. And what about Daisy? Doesn't she want to see her kids? How do I know that you won't go back to her again - after all she is the mother of your children. You will always have that unbreakable bond with her - even is she does have club feet.

It took me a long time to get over you leaving me and I do not think I can risk putting myself through that again? And what about your hair - after all it is green.

I think I need some more time to think things through and I really need you to prove to me that you are 100% serious about me and that if we were to get wed, that it would be forever. I need you to prove that your heart belongs to me and no-one else.

If you are serious about this proposal, then please accept that I need some time to think things over. I want you to know that I do still love you and I think that I always will but I must be sure that I am making the right decision.

Please give me to the end of the month and then I will give you my answer on the 1st February.

All my love, hugs and kisses

A proposal

Ironically after yesterday's prompt, Claire is having some blocked toilet issues and so in the rush to organise a drain company to come out today, she forgot to take me to work with her.

Look at what was waiting on her desk. This is what I should seen when I got there.

The letter reads:

To My Dear Pamela,

You are the one.......

I haven't been able to get you off my mind since I left. I have given Daisy the boot and told her to get out of town. I love you with all my plastic heart and I want to make this decision final.

WILL YOU MAKE ME THE HAPPIEST BENDY MAN IN THE WORLD AND MARRY ME?

I promise I (and the kids) will make you very happy.

Love your muscle bound stud

Jeffery

xxxxx

Look how gorgeous Jeffery looks - look at the tux and the beautiful red roses. There was a ring in the box too. Except that Claire, the stupid woman, has lost it on the way home. Claire has bought Jeffery back with her so we can talk things through, but I really need some advice now. He has chosen me and now I am not sure what I want. Do I want him or has he used all his chances up? This was the last thing I expected. Help!!!!

My morning routine

My routine is no different to anyone elses. Surely?

My Creature Comforts

Who would believe I spent months lying unforgotten on Claire's desk at work? Look at me now. I have this beautiful mansion to live in. It is a bit draughty as there is no front to it and so not much privacy but beggers can't be choosers. I have my own bedroom with soft springy bed. I have a lounge and TV and a fully fitted kitchen and I even have my own bathroom complete with bath and toilet!

I have to share it with little Zoe and some of her dolls but I am top dog and what I say, goes!

What am I doing right now?

This week the lovely Debbie is providing the prompts and I have decided to take them out of sequence a bit as I have been busy.
Everyday I go on Claire's computer on to the internet to be able to catch up with my new pals and see what they have been up to. That is what I am doing right now - just leaving a little message for my friend Clemmie. He has been helping Lynne to change the ink in her printer. I think he is so clever and good with his hands. Just what I like in a man!

My biggest challenge so far

I have been having a nosey around Claire's desk in her craft room and I found this Mensa calendar. There is a brain challenge for every day of the year and so I thought that I would have a go at today's seeing as Claire hadn't attempted it. Hope she didn't mind me solving the puzzle. It was very difficult but I am a very clever bendy you know!
The question was:
"Rearrange the letters of "RUSTLED LIKE TARZAN" to give three amphibians".
Do you know the answer?

Happy again!

After being so upset about the letter from Jeffery, I feel so happy to know that I have lovely friends who are there to help and support me. I have never met any of these guys but they are so supportive and give such wonderful advice to me in my hour of need. Clemmie, who has the most gorgeous eyes, even has a photo of me beside him. This could be the start of something beautiful I think.

So I have asked Claire to get me a photo of Clemmie.

Mind you I quite like the look and sound of Bongo - he has a great sense of humour and is a bit on the wild side.

Oh decisions, decisions...

Mind Games

As always I went to work with Claire today and sat waiting on her desk was a letter for me - from Jeffery.
I tore it open and read the contents. It was really quite awful and has left me feeling really very sad. He is playing mind games with me and I don't like it.
Here is what it said:

"Dear Pamela (c/o Claire V)
I just thought I’d let you know that I’ve gone away for a few days. I need to get my little yellow head together and decide what (& who) I want for good this time. I’ve decided I just want to settle down. I am getting bored of chasing skirt all the time. I know I am good looking and have a nice bendy body but I think the time has come for a life style change!
The last few weeks have been very confusing for me. Seeing you again has sparked a feeling in my loins which I can’t explain. I keep catching myself staring at you and trying to catch your attention. I do love my wife, Daisy, but there is something about you. Maybe it’s your lanky black thread hair or your puke green felt dress, I heard you had changed your outfit for a funky Rock Chick image which I think sounds sexy as hell. I don’t know what it is, but there is something between you and me and you know it. I have to say though, I am keeping up to date with what you are doing everyday on your blog, but the things you have said have been quite upsetting, so I need to just think everything through.
I have left the kids, Nev, Kev & Bev on Ali’s desk. I’m sure they’ll be fine and she’ll keep them in line, but I wondered if you could just keep an eye on them for me.
In case you’re wondering where I have gone I am staying with my brother, Jim Bob. He is letting me crash on his sofa until I feel ready to come back, but when I do I promise I will have made up my mind.
Love, (your hunky bendy love pest)

Jeffery

xxxx"

I hate to think that I have made him so sad but he has treated me so badly in the past that I know I must move on - but what happens if he decides that I am "the one"?

How pleased am I?

Wow you cannot believe how pleased I am today! And it is all thanks to my auntie Shirley and my good pal Bongo.

Today is Claire's birthday and so the last thing I expected was to get any presents in the post again. But when Claire opened her card from Shirley, inside was a little bag addressed to me. Look what was inside....

How funky are these? The card read "A little something for Pamela in case she needs to go out looking for a man! Love Bongo"

I tried them immediately. It was a little difficult to get out of my green dress as Claire had sewn it on me whilst I was wearing it, but I managed it - good job I am flexible!

Look at me now!!! What a hip and trendy, bendy I am!!!!

Thanks Shirley you have made my day Love Pamela x

Hello can you hear me?

Hello... ... I hope you can hear me!

Today's prompt is what has surprised you. Well today I am surprised and shocked that I have not been allowed out of this flippin' bag all day. Claire has been busy either cooking (and I am not going in that kitchen again - no way) or she has been crafting and so has totally ignored me all day.

She is just doing a roast dinner so I have quickly sneaked onto the computer to type this - good job the bag is quite flexible as I can just about type through it.

Hoping for a better day tomorrow.

What scared me today?

Well I was having an exploration around the house seeing as it is just too cold to go out and was in the kitchen. I thought I would have a sit down a while and watch James moving logs from the drive to the garage. Claire had gone out to do the Tesco shop and came in with lots of yummy food.

She came over to me and plonked down a big packet of round holey things. She took some out of the packet and put them into the big silver thing I was sitting against. After a while, I could smell something funny and I was starting to feel a bit hot across my back. It was then I realised in horror that I was melting! I ran for my life - literally!!!

I have decided to stay out of the kitchen as it is a dangerous place for a plastic person to be!

What have I learned today?

It is Claire's turn to do the prompts for the week and her first prompt is what have I learned today. Well let me tell you!

Today I have learned alot of things! I have learned that the little man in the little red van brings some fab things to the house. Today he bought a big padded envelope addressed to Claire and to Zoe. This meant that I also learned that there are some really lovely kind people out there as inside the envelope there were some lovely news clothes, a new coat, hat and scarf. Unfortunately the clothes were too small so Zoe decided that she should have them instead and the doll that came with them. Look how pleased she looks.But look how lovely my new coat, hat and scarf look. The hat is a bit small but the rest fits perfectly.

So today I have learned to say Thanks Auntie Lynne - you are so kind.

And Claire managed to rescue me a necklace and handbag from Zoe's new toys.

I put them on and went outside in what is left of the snow and was lovely and warm in my coat.

Wow slippery

Today I braved going into Claire's work again. I have made myself a promise not to go anywhere near Jeffery.

We haven't had much snow in Dorset but there is a still a bit lying around and Claire bet me that I could not ice skate. Well she is right - I can't ice skate as firstly, I don't have any ice skates and secondly, why would I need to? I am made of rubber, I could bounce pretty far on something so hard.

I thought I would go out and see what is all the fuss over this white stuff - seems to just cause issues for everyone. But then once I had carefully stepped into it, I had great fun sliding around in it. The untouched stuff is very beautiful. I just need auntie Lynne to send me my coat so I can stay a bit warmer - I don't want to get brittle, now do I?

Anyway I did see Jeffery but not to talk to. He was smooching up with his wife. I sneaked a quick piccie - look at her - she is positively dumpy. And I think my feet are big - look at her great big club feet!!! I cannot understand what he sees in her at all when he could have had me - an exotic raven haired beauty. And why has he got no top on. I think he must have been reading my blog and saw my entry about Post It Notes being so last year. He looks so silly - I mean topless when it is in minus figures outside! I - D - I - O - T!!!!!

Making a stand

Well today, you would have been proud of me. It actually started to snow and so I was looking out of the window again at Claire's work. Secretly I knew there would be a chance of Jeffery coming back again so I hung around for as long as I could.
And sure enough the little yellow loser sidled up to and started whining about his wife, who apparently doesn't understand him and whinging about his kids who are always nagging at him to play with them. He was really trying to lay it on thick to make me feel sorry for him and I suspect to try and get another snog out of me.
So I let him come in close and just as he was about to try and kiss me again - WHACK - I slapped him really hard around the face and told him where to go!
That should be the end of him. I took all your advice thanks ladies and have kicked him into touch. My life is about to get exciting and I do not need that loser hanging round my neck.

I am so ashamed!

Today Claire told me it was going to snow - she was so excited about it that I thought I would wander over to the window again at Claire's work to see what all the fuss was about. Darina has lots of orchids on the windowsill and they are so beautiful. I find their beauty quite mesmerising.

Anyway I was on windowsill for quite some time waiting for the snow to come and who should appear, but Jefferey. I hate to admit it but he can still make my heart beat faster! We chatted for a while about what we have been up to and then suddenly he kissed me. I don't know whether it was the orchids or the excitement of the snow but I got totally carried away and we kissed for ages.

Luckily I came to my senses and ran away quickly. I think I need to stay away from Claire's work. I am so ashamed that I let myself succumb to his charms once again.

I knew I could still turn his head!!!

Well today I went into work with Claire. On the one hand I dreaded going as I really did not want to end up forgotten on her desk like I did all last year, but on the other hand I wanted to show off my new look to Jeffery.
Wowser was he surprised!!!!
Whilst I was over admiring Darina's orchids on the window sill, I thought I heard a movement, and there lurking behind a plant pot was Jeffery, watching me! I could tell by the look on his face that he was surprised to see me and he was looking really wistful at me. Ha and the saddo is still wearing Post It Notes!!!
Well as I said the other day, he dumped me and it is his loss! I am moving on!!!

I felt like a celebrity in the office as Claire explained to her colleagues what was happening to me over the next year!

BRING IT ON!!!!

Dreams do come true

Well after a truly miserable day of shopping yesterday we found absolutely nothing for me to wear. So Claire had to get her sewing stuff out and make me a new dress. This one is much more respectable - mid calf - but has a bit of bling and sparkle on it. I can't wait for Jeffery to see me in it - then he will realise what he is missing - his loss though!!!! I think my auntie Lynne is going to make me a coat too - a new wardrobe for a new year! I would love some new shoes but my hands and feet are a bit on the big side - definitely my worst feature.

The other dream that came true this morning and was such a surprise to me, was a new car. I haven't passed my test yet, so I could only sit in it on the drive - but take a look at it, isn't it beautiful? Claire says that she has private number plate on order for it and I need to get some L plates for it too. I am so excited that I can barely contain myself. I am having driving lessons at the moment and am hoping to take my test very soon. Then there will be no stopping me! I have such a good feeling about this year.

Let the adventure begin...

Pamela's Hopes and Dreams

Hi me again!

Well Claire asked me what my hopes and dreams were and I had to think long and hard. I went upstairs to my bedroom and sat looking in the mirror and hoped that firstly I can get myself some new clothes as Post It Notes as so last year! I managed to find this very short dress but it is not really suitable for these cold months so I am hoping to go into town later to get some new clothes. You know what they say a new year, a new look!!! I definitely don't want to look too trampy!
I hope I will make some new friends this year, maybe even find true love and just basically have a lot of fun.

Pamela's Party in 2010

Hi My name is Pamela Pinky.

It appears that you will be following me for the next year. I am not sure if you will find my life very exciting as I have been sat on Claire's desk at work for the last year or so and have seen no action at all. I am hopeful that I will get to see some adventure now though!

As I said my name is Pamela and here are a few details about myself. I am a raven haired beauty, a twenty something, girl about town. I am 5 inches tall (fully stretched) and weigh 40 grams - about average for my height. A girl has to watch her weight you know. I am an only child but left home some years ago.

I am currently single after being dumped by Jeffery after he went back to his wife and 3 children. But that is fine as he was a bit of a loser as he just sits on Ali's desk all the time. His life is so dull whereas mine is about to get very exciting - hopefully!!! So I am happy leading the single life but I am looking for love - so if you know any eligible batchelors, then let me know. There is no way I want to be the other woman again! Far too much heartache.

I love a good party and will always be the last one on the dancefloor. I do like a glass of Pinot Grigio or two. I am just taking driving lessons at the moment so I am fully mobile for this project. Obviously those two things don't go together too well. Here is my photo - I have just had my hair done and I am hoping for some new clothes - post it notes don't keep you very warm you know. Well that is enough about me for a while - see you again soon!
