Avoid Miss Millies like the plague!

Thursday - Got up early and got me barnet chopped, then went to town to get some new contact lens. Then, met me mum for a coffee before I had to go to work at 12. Work was ok, just got on with it. Finished at 8 and then came home and watched Resident Evil: Apocalypse. Very good, I was pleasantly surprised. Both James and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Friday - Work again and I just ploughed on through as I was quite tired. In the evening, I got picked up by Don at about 5.30 and we went straight to Mat's. Had a right laugh and got well on the way before getting into town and going to Callaghans. Don, Mat, dolph and Chris were out and we soon moved onto the Gatekeeper. Then onto, Copa and Bar Is it. At this point, the wine started flowing and the drinking games commenced! Chris danced on his own in the middle of the stairs, I had to pull my trousers down and sit in me pants!! Went on to the Philly then and I was pretty wrecked. Ended up leaving just before the end and getting a cab back to McDonners!! Chicken burger then home for about 3!

Saturday - Got up and went to work and it wasn't too bad. Didn't really have to do much and it soon finished and I came home. Watched the football and generally slobbed around in a hungover state. James came back and we got on the beers as we watched Man utd beat Everton and then we got ready to go to town. Yes, James was actually coming out on the piss!!! We got the bus and met Lee Gregory. He was down from Birmingham with his missus so we embarked on a mini bar crawl. Started off in the Gatekeeper and the onto Edwards which was full of women!!! I wanted to stay but we left and went to O'neills. Then finally we hit the Philly again. We didn't stay long as James was pissed and we were starving. We went and got food from Miss Millies and headed home. Watched Resi Evil again and then went bed. Woke up at 4 in the morning feeling horrible and the food soon came back! God damn Miss Millie's!

Sunday - woke up and felt ok, except got bad Wisdom teeth pains today. Haven't done much accept slob round the house. Quite tired and I'm going for food at me mothers later, so just chilling!

Memories, all alone in the moonlight

Ok, got a few bits to go on about today so I'll make the weekend brief as I did nowt!

Saturday - hungover - stayed in all day and drank beer watched rugby and football! Went to bed pickled!
Sunday - Much of the same!

Wales won hooray! England lost Hooray!

Monday - The dreaded Valentine's day - My first single version for 4 years. Its not a nice day, made me feel quite depressed and lonely. Didn't get a card but didn't send a card either. Work was fine but just felt a bit horrible. Me and Andrea also used to go mad and buy each other loads of stuff and I missed that this year. In the evening, I did very little and ended up watching the greatest love songs ever which probably didn't help.

Tuesday - Work was again pretty good. Still team leadering so its going well. In the evening, I went to the flicks and watched Meet the Fockers. I thought it was quite good, pretty funny and generally a not bad film!!

Wednesday - Work was quite busy today with loads of meetings, but I've survived. It's been one week since I had any contact with Andrea and it does feel strange. Everyone told me not to bother with her but I honestly felt like I should give her a chance and see if we could just be friends. Perry said 'you'll be waiting for her to text wondering if she will etc' and I have to admit that I have a bit. The three weeks where we saw each other quite a lot was cool, I had a good laugh but it go to the point when it was getting weird because we hadn't spoken about the situation. I liked having her around again but now I have missed her. One good thing that has happened is that because I've had contact with her I'm no longer worried about going into town or the cinema. Before, I used to get really tense, now I don't even think about it. Life is good at the mo, and I haven't let this get me down so I don't intend to either. RT - Nothings happening and i'm fine so don't worry!! Actually, had a Valentines card today, two days late. Can't find out who it is from though! Texted the usual suspects but either no-one's admitting or it wasn't them!!

Generally though work is very good, the house is always safe as, all my mates are doing well and the weekends are usually fairly eventfull so I can't really complain, although getting a new better upgraded girlfriend wouldn't hurt!! Not going to start looking though as you never find the good ones that way!

Yes Matthew we both have heads

The last week has been hard work! Really tired after the manic weekend and never really recovered until Thursday! A quieter weekend this week as I have to save some cash for a trip to Edinburgh on Saturday March 12th for a certain game of rugby! The BIG C boys go on a road trip! Watch out world!

Monday was ok. I was still really tired and I was in charge of Paul's team again for this week. It went pretty much as planned. Did a team meeting etc. When I came home I went running, and then nipped down the video shop to rent out Anchorman. Very funny film. I didn't really like Will Ferrell but I've recently started to like his work! Funniest bit has to be Jack Black's cameo!

Tuesday - Still exhausted! Work was starting to pick up and I don't think I even had a break on Tuesday. Had loads of stuff to do, so just cracked on. Paul told me I was doing an amazing job and he couldn't ask for anymore so I was well chuffed. In the evening, me and Matt went to watch Oceans 12. The cinema was rammed and the film wasn't even that good. Real let down. Tried to out smart the original and it was never going to happen. Got home and went straight to bed.

Wednesday - Tired beyond belief now. The work load is mad. I really thought that it wouldn't of been to hard to do the job, but respect to the TL's. Rich Hanner (Graham) said to me 'welcome to my world'! Damn right Rich. Managed to get a few side by sides done and everything appears to be going well. In the evening, I was supposed to go to the pictures with Andrea but the queue was mental so we stayed at home and watched the football. Shit really shit! Watched Saw after this, and I really liked it but...... I never guess twists in films because I'm usually so engrossed in it that I miss the tell tale signs so imagine my surprise when I guessed the films final twist after only two minutes! Gutted. The ending then was a major anti climax and I didn't enjoy the film as much as I should of.

Thursday - Managed to have some quality sleep!! Late night today so got into work about 11. Ate loads today not sure why, was just bloody starving all day. Had so much work today thought I wasn't going to be able to get through it. Because one of the other team leaders has been of sick for the last two weeks I've kinda covered their team too. So I had to catch up with all the work they hadn't done. So I had to do loads of call monitoring! Boring as hell but quite funny. The late night went well with no escalations and on the way home I had a well funny feeling. I was knackered, really tired but all of a sudden I was just well happy with what was happening! Work has been amazing this week and makes me even more determined to keep trying. Got in and got changed straight away to go to Bar Billabong with Aimee. We didn't sing just had a drink and a chat. Then got some food and came back to watch a bit of TV. I was just too tired and I had to go to bed in the end!!!

Friday- All the TL's were off on an away day today from 11, so I was in charge! Wow! All the teams everyone. I enjoyed it but it was hard work. I kept myself busy with the quiz and the fantasy rugby, and I think I did a good job. No diasters anyway. When I came home I chilled for a bit before getting changed and getting a bus into town. Met up with Matty J and the TL posse. Had a great laugh. Lisa cracks me up, Wendy also comes out with some gems and it was the worst time I'd seen Jonny Evans out. He was a great laugh, going on about Paddy being his hero! Hamer was on top form again to and seeing as he was paying for all the drinks, everyone was happy. Don turned up as did Perry and Paul. Then we went to the Philly. Bumped into one of my old mates from Tesco, Sarah and then just drank more booze till I was wrecked and got a taxi home to McDonners and got a massive chicken burger. Me and Matt said are goodbyes and walked the rest of the way home.

Not to bad today thought I might be a bit rough, but I have survived. Sleep helped and I'm ready for a mad sporting weekend! Bring it on! Oh and RT nothing is happening with me and Andrea, I promise!! I will keep you informed though ok?!

As long as we BEAT the English!!

Tiring week!!!

Monday -Work. Watched dodgeball!
Tuesday - Work, then watched Arsenal vs Man utd! Good game but those damn Manc's.

Wednesday - Has my own team in work, as I had been put in charge of one the credit teams for a period of 3 weeks. Had a nightmare when I got in as two the other team leaders had phoned in sick and the other was not in till 11. So I had to run round that a mad man for the first 2 hours trying to sort everything out!! Survived though and I had a good day! Got home and went running for the second time this week and then Bex came over. We went and got some food before going to watch CREEP! This film is the sickest thing I've seen in a long time. It scared the crap out of me and made me feel that I was going to be sick!! Honestly, graphic beyond compare and the blood soaked hospital scene will really tip you over the edge!! Went to bed bout 10 as I was knackered!

Thursday - Started work at 11 and it was going really well. Had to take a few escalated calls but I coped and at the end of the night it had gone really well. Finished at 8 and made me way home for a quiet night in. James had helped me out by working late so I cooked tea when we got back and then watched Con Air.

Friday - Another manic day for me in work. Organised a sweepstake, a fantasy rugby incentive and a weekly quiz! I was busy. The quiz was wicked. Me and James had spent ages on it and then I send it out. But I didn't send the questions, I sent the bloody answers!! Had to rapidly write a new quiz and get it sent out!! In the night, I came home and chilled out. Andrea came over and we watched Dodgeball and Super Size Me. Fantastic film, and a real message to the world that Ronald Mcdonald really is a scary mo-fo.

Saturday - Match day. Andrea dropped me to Perry's house where Don and Parker were already drinking. We went to town and went straight to Lloyds bar and watched the first half of the Scotland game. Then we moved on for food and went to the Model Inn. Mum and Dad came down into town and met us so we all got the drinks in and started to prepare. The match was awesome and to win on home soil was the best feeling ever! We were jumping up and down and going mad. Hugging random people and everyone was well pissed! Went to the Philly afterwards and got battered on wine but ended up back at home at bout 12.30. I was finished at this point and crashed almost straight away. Had a wicked day today, the boys were great and we had a wicked laugh. Chatted to a couple of lovely ladies too. One that looked like Greg Rusedski's missus. I freaked her out by guessing her job exactly in one guess! Should of seen her face, I said I read her mind. Ha ha ha. Got us talking though.

Sunday - Got up and went to Perry's to pick up my stuff. Stayed there for an hour and then dropped the boys into town. After that I came home and Andrea rang me to see if I wanted to go for a sunday lunch. Ended up in Thornhill and the food was quality. It was a whole bloody chicken!!! I was stuffed but still had room for afters! Came home and watch 50 first dates again. Really tired but have had a wicked time of recent. Watching the Village later, seen it before but not since the cinema.
