Rendezvous With Myself

Game Of Thrones – April 17 2011

2011-01-17T21:14:00.001Z

As you maybe aware I have finished reading Game Of Thrones and loved it. I have been looking around the internet to see what I can find out and I didn't realise how popular the book are. So HBO are showing the series on Sky Atlantic on the 17th April 2011, so about 3 months today...

I can't wait, this is how much I enjoyed the book. It is definitely not something I would have gone and bought but after finishing it I realised I should always keep my options open when considering books.

The cast choices are good but I wonder if I could have chosen better???

The Cast is as follows-

* Mark Addy as King Robert Baratheon
* Alfie Allen as Theon Greyjoy
* Sean Bean as Eddard "Ned" Stark
* Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen
* Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Ser Jaime Lannister
* Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister
* Michelle Fairley as Catelyn Stark
* Aidan Gillen as Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish
* Jack Gleeson as Joffrey Baratheon
* Iain Glen as Ser Jorah Mormont
* Kit Harington as Jon Snow
* Lena Headey as Cersei Lannister
* Isaac Hempstead-Wright as Bran Stark
* Harry Lloyd as Viserys Targaryen
* Richard Madden as Robb Stark
* Rory McCann as Sandor "The Hound" Clegane
* Sophie Turner as Sansa Stark
* Maisie Williams as Arya Stark

Alfie Allen is Lilly Allens brother he has been in a few things but I am not a fan and I wonder how he got the role..... Sean Bean is in it, legend that he is. I think I would have put him in the series as he would be the first person you would think of to get his sword out like Lord Of The Rings.... A few other great choices are Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Lena Headey, Iain Glen, Mark Addy and Peter Dinklage.

All I am going to say is give it a try, you will more than likely enjoy it.

Finally Finished Game Of Thrones.

2011-01-16T21:14:00.002Z

Its Sunday, I am chilling after a day with the little man which has been good. I have been doing chores and trying to get stuff sorted and I have realised I have got lazy. I really need to get some motivation back!!

Yesterday I finished Game of thrones and it was awesome, one of the best books I have read in ages.

This means I can get on reading A Clash Of Kings which is the second installment of A Song Of Ice And Fire.

I can't believe Game Of Thrones has 70 or so chapters.... Holy crap....

Anyway that is all from moi, I will post more about A Clash Of Kings when I get past the first few chapters.

Wordpress Or Blogger????

2010-08-05T23:06:00.001+01:00

Not sure which one to choose, may look at both.... Anyway if there is anyone with any views let me know.

I am knackered.

Routines

2010-08-04T23:06:00.000+01:00

I am so angry right now, I have been up since 6am and need to be up again tomorrow at 6am..... So I wanted an early night, alas its 11pm and I am still awake. The reason..... Noah and Catherine!!! Catherine decided it would be a good idea to put Noah to sleep 30 minutes or more before his dinner time which meant he was wide awake and would not go to sleep at 7:30pm. She went out and left him with me, which obviously is not an issue. However, the sleep he had caused him to still be awake now and because he was with me he did not want to sleep, even though I tried and tried.

This just goes to show what routines babies should be in and what they all need to learn from an early age. Otherwise shit like this happens!!! This adds to the stress and it doesn't help me get better, it pushes me closer to the edge. Catherine however seems to think this is not an issue and thinks I am blowing this out of proportion.... Maybe I am but I am tired and don't have the luxury of having a hobby or a bit of time away....

It also pisses me off as things STILL have not been done when I have politely asked.......

Rant over..... Just about.....

Spitting Image......

2010-08-03T20:02:00.001+01:00

Well I think it is..... What do you think?

Stacey 'Fergie' Ferguson and The Princess from Shrek......

Anyway........

Work was pants, quiet and pants. I have ran out of lenses so back to glasses until at least next Wednesday. I am finally watching Green Zone which is quite good, not exactly sure what its about but I am sure I will find out. I also applied for that job, fingers crossed.

A wicked programme I have been watching at the moment is Man V Food my good friend @josemajoras got me on to it and I have set my Sky+ to tape the next 14 episodes..... Jackpot.

Watch it if you can.....

Now that is some serious food!!!!!

Anyway, Green Zone is calling.

Ciao

Back To Work.

2010-08-02T21:54:00.000+01:00

So its my first day back at work in 2 weeks and I wondered when I woke up what it would bring. Well rest assured it was good, not great but good. I am back writing peoples cars off which I do enjoy, not sure why I expect its because I have a evil streak which likes to see people in unfortunate situations.... lol. Maybe I just enjoy the job because I am good at it and its better than some of the other jobs I have had.

I have applied for a new job today so fingers crossed as I know its something which I will love doing....

I also had my contact lens assessment today and the guy said the contacts that I have in are great but I need a certain type of lens due to my stigmatism so they are going to put them on order and I need to go in again. They are monthly contacts which means they are cheaper!!!! Jackpot!!

I also love my MacBook, it is the daddy.......

Last Day Of Holiday.......

2010-08-01T20:55:00.001+01:00

Well it is my final day of holiday and its been hard. Noah has been a wingey bugger and I feel shit, but now he is asleep I can try and get over my headache.

It has been 2 weeks of ups and downs and I don't know if I could do it again. All I know is I need another break!!

I am thinking of joining the mobile me community (mobileme.com) from Apple.

I also watched Shutter Island today, it was very good..... Gets you thinking but is obvious when it gets towards the end of the film.

We went to Kevs Birthday BBQ last night it was good but we had to leave early, I forgot Noahs pushchair.

Anyway, time to rest some more.....

Ciao

The only one awake!!!

2010-07-22T09:39:00.000+01:00

Being the only one awake makes me feel like something out of 28 days later. Might get a cup of tea and wake them all up! I have the Drs soon, not sure what she will say apart from giving me more tablets and such like. I hate the Drs but i suppose it does make me feel better.

I am currently Scrobbling to Last.fm as I have lots of tracks to get through. So I thought id just play and let it get on with it. i have also started playing Godfinger on the iPhone, which is quite addictive... but a bit slow for me!

I better make a move to get ready as I have about 2 hours before I have to be at Drs.... Then unsure what to do today, as we were meant to be going over Sister In Laws but It will be way to late after i have finished at Drs... hmmm... A txt may be in order.

Holiday Day 2

2010-07-20T09:34:00.000+01:00

Had a good day yesterday, hopefully my holiday will get better.

I have also chosen my squad for the Fantasy Premier League! Probably not the best team in the world but hopefully I will get some big scores to get me going. It goes without saying I know nothing about football and as I came 4th in the World Cup FF League then I thought I'd give the Prem a try.

Ok so thats it, I only know about 5 players so should be interesting.

What to do today, most likely relax have a few sleeps and do some housework. We have a few films to watch so I will put those on I expect.

I will post more later.

New Keyboard...... Its Lush!

2010-07-19T18:30:00.000+01:00

Look what I purchased today! Yummy!

The Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad features an elegant, ultrathin anodized aluminum enclosure with low-profile keys that provide a crisp, responsive feel. It also has function keys for one-touch access to a variety of Mac features such as screen brightness, volume, eject, play/pause, fast-forward and rewind, Exposé, and Dashboard. Its extended layout includes document navigation controls — page up, page down, home, and end — and full-size arrow keys for playing games and scrolling through documents. Its numeric keypad is perfect for spreadsheets and finance applications. And two USB 2.0 ports enable you to connect your mouse as well as a high-speed peripheral such as a digital camera or printer.

Its bad ass!

Holiday

2010-07-19T10:27:00.000+01:00

I have 2 fantastic weeks off on holiday, nothing at all planned just spend time with my favorite people!

So I will try and Blog the 2 weeks away..... I have contact lenses, only testers but I may be converted, its a surreal experience for me who has worn glasses pretty much since the womb! Now on to trying something new, nearly 30 and in need of change.

Saying that, am I really ready to grow up? I like having fun and doing my own thing, but since Noah was born my priorities have changed. For the better! He makes me smile everyday even if I have nothing to smile about, he makes me laugh and also makes me stressed, its so worth it.

What to do today, its 10:15am I need a shower, shit and shave. One task of which has already been completed today. Ha Ha. Then on to do something interesting, maybe Cabot Circus or a trip to a wildlife park or something..... I really don't know and Cat is not really much help, as she struggles with the question "what do you want for dinner?". Bless her cotton socks!

I obtained this album last night!!! So far very good and makes me feel old, ha ha.

Anyway off to get ready and hopefully get out before lunch!

Dating In The Dark

2010-07-13T22:25:00.001+01:00

New series tonight. Made me laugh, some lovely ladies I must say but the blokes were idiots. That's what gives us all a bad name. I had a lovely lasagne cooked by the missus tonight, she excels herself when she cooks. Glass of wine and now in bed like a old git. I want Cat to hurry up too but she won't because she will be watching tv.

Anyway night night.

2010-07-11T07:36:00.000+01:00

I haven't posted anything for a few days, I have been busy and also getting even more pissed off with my job. They ask me to do things but with no training. Makes sense right?

Well at least it's the weekend, now I get to relax. I will let you know how my Sunday lunch does later as my rents are coming over.

It was SHITE!

Fantasy World Cup Football...........

2010-07-02T20:27:00.000+01:00

Wow, never have I seen a world cup be so exciting, even though England are out things don't look like they will stop being surprising......

Brazil just went out to Holland..... Dear me!

Who is going to win.... I really don't know.

Newcastle & Sunderland................

2010-06-28T18:54:00.000+01:00

What a cool weekend! We all went up to Sunderland to visit Adrian (Cats Dad) and to see the sights. We saw the Angel Of The North and the Metro Centre.... We need more time really to have a good look round. It was nice to see Adrian and Pauline, she made me laugh as she couldn't get enough of Noah.... ha ha.

Few pics of when we were there...

In addition to the fun weekend, my Fantasy Football Team did well. Even though England lost 4-1 to Germany..... We were shit though.

There is a few transfers I have to make but not for a few more days.

It was a very good weekend, just very tired now and will be going for food shortly for Judes leaving meal.... At this restaurant La Passione

Ciao

Road Trip

2010-06-25T07:19:00.002+01:00

So it's d day. Tonight were going to Sunderland to see Adrian and what a trek that will be. My cousin is about to drop any day now and I'm starving as all I had last night was a pizza. Funny how I made the link from babies to food. Hmmm ha ha.

I'm now sat in the car with Diane, Agata and Anetta on the way to work. I am going to get a bacon sarnie when I get in I think!

Bacon sarnie was fantastic, and Ham sarnie for lunch was nice too.... I got home just after 5 and nowt was ready, so I am sweating my tits off and most likely will be waiting to get going..... Brilliant!!!

My World Cup team is doing well too, as you can see after the Portugal v Brazil match.....

I am glad I swapped some players today.... I got mucho points.....

Anyway off to finish getting ready.

Day Off 1 of 2.

2010-06-21T11:08:00.000+01:00

I have a day off today, mainly because it was Fathers Day yesterday and I think I deserve some time off.

We went for a meal yesterday at Coal in Cabot Circus, we have been there twice before and the food was fantastic, service was good and we never had to wait too long for food. However Fathers Day was completely different, we waited 30mins+ for starters and Noahs food, he was hungry big time as were we. Then we had that which was nice, but had to wait at least 40mins for the mains which never arrived. So both my dad and I decided to go and spend my money elsewhere. We complained about the wait and the lack of service, infact I think we only saw the waiter twice and he seemed to keep away from our table. I don't think it would have been so bad if the Assistant Manager (who was a nice bloke) made sure he sorted everything out and maybe made our food priority. He didn't and that just pissed us off further, at that point we just said we were going and not paying for anything, apart from a few drinks.

We then made our way over to Frankie & Bennys and luckily both dad and I had our lunches free because of their offer, Fathers Eat Free....... Bargain. So we sat down, ordered food and had a dam good meal and pudding. They even gave me a Tiramisu to take home as a good will gesture and that really was the icing on the cake, great service and great food. RECOMMENDED!!!!!

One thing I did forget is that the Assistant Manager gave my Dad a bottle of Champagne, which was at least a peace offering. I think deep down I will go to Coal again but I will be very reluctant.

My fantasy football team is doing well, currently 3rd and fingers crossed will move up a notch. If not I am happy to be 3rd considering I know Jack about football.......

This is the squad ready for today, I lost 15 points by making substitutions but fingers crossed the four I swapped will get more.

Today I am really not sure what to do, I was looking forward to spending some time with Noah and Catherine. However lots of housework to do because it has been left not done for quite a while. Not that its Cats fault, I haven't cleaned up either. So I think my day may involve that and maybe a sneaky beer.....

When I look around the house however I feel like it will take days to clean up, probably because we don't tidy up that often. Both a wee bit lazy!!!

My 'brother' if you could call him that, really is getting on my tits. He doesn't give a shit about anyone and doesn't even respond to txt messages. Oh well he will need something at one point and we might not be around to help.

Right I'm off to get some housework done.

2010-06-19T07:39:00.000+01:00

Well surprisingly I am doing very well....... Not fantastic but I have not been out the top 5. Interesting.

My Squad for the foreseeable future

My projected Round 3 team..... hmmm

As you can see I have got rid of some players and brought some top point scorers in. Lets see what happens now...........

England Vs Algeria

2010-06-18T20:29:00.001+01:00

Ok so I am here watching England play in HD and I feel like I'm
there. So far it's a poor game England can do so much better, they
need to pressure more and use all the skills and players they have!
If we win this game it will put us in a great position, especially now
Germany and France are on their way out.

Patrick Viera is now saying England played as bad as France! really? France were shit! ha ha.

Work was busy, unsure why! Probably because football is on and
everyone wanted to get stuff done before they settle down for the
weekend.

Ok so my lack of sleep started again today as well when I woke up at
5:30 ish....... Boooooo! I really don't know why. I also forgot to
take my tablets, what a crock!

Also I love this -

I Snoozed But Did Not Loose.

2010-06-17T22:40:00.001+01:00

One word = tired!

Woke up this morning felt ok and all through the day I have been
wanting to sleep, on the way home was the worst. Proper nodding off!

I did manage to sell my blackberry 8250 £100.00 thank you very much!

I haven't been on twitter much, probably because I haven't got alot to
say and also because I'm at work.

Fathers day this Sunday so that should be cool, Noah is changing so
quick, he now nods when you ask him if he wants a yogurt.

Anyway bed time for me, I'm knackered.

Have I Got The Skills????

2010-06-14T20:37:00.000+01:00

Its Monday, I am tired and really didn't want to go into work.... Alas I did!

I had my squad ready for the football today and fingers crossed I do well, I need to win this so I can prove how excellent I am. Well I don't really need to prove it at all, as I know I am. Ha Ha.

My current standings, mid Italy v Paraguay game.

I am still loving the iPhone even though I have not used it to its full potential as of yet. I have some excellent apps and hopefully more to come.

Today was good, It was busy and interesting. Jaimie is back tomorrow, which is cool but I expect it will be dead again. Had a funny email of Diane today it said "Can you arrange collection of this vehicle? I am not sure what the location is though." Ummm yeah Diane, I am psychic and I know where it is!!! FFS.

Anyway off to finish my glass of wine and a possible early night.

World Cup 2010

2010-06-13T14:58:00.000+01:00

Ok so I know I am not a football lover but when the World Cup is on you have to mix it up a little, so I have entered a Fantasy Football Team on the McDonalds FIFA World Cup website.

First day of football, I managed to rack up a mighty 8 points.... Putting me a joint 3rd in the Total World Cup League..... I was shocked as I don't really know the first thing about football. Then day 2, I am ranked first.... Proof just in case you don't believe me -

I am quite happy with this, but will not hold my breath to win!!

We went over Melissa and Allens pad yesterday for a fantastic BBQ and lounge in the sun, then the England game! We did not win, unfortunately it was a 1-1 draw because of a fluff up by Green in goal.

Just to show you the scores up until today, see below -

As you can see a few games to go in round 1.

To help me do my Blog I have also found a sweet iPhone app called Momento.

I may even potter around the garden....

2010-06-09T21:11:00.002+01:00

Work is so quiet its annoying, however Jaimie is off for a few days so should pick up. I'm also upset Flash Forward, 24 and of course Luther have finished!! Booo. Roll on the next seasons! Summer is upon us but it doesn't feel like it apart from a bit of heat!

I have also got a iPhone!!!! Yay Me! It was £30.00 on Vodafone and its sexy and cool. I'm still getting to grips with it but its easy as I know Apple! One thing however is that the new iPhone4 is being released at the end of the month and Catherine wants it...... hmmmm.... ha ha

Apple launched an updated version of its iPhone, describing it as the world's thinnest smartphone, and "the most precise, beautiful thing we've ever designed". Really Mr. Jobs..... I am not too sure.

iPhone4

Noah has had his Birthday and Baptism and a few pics below -

So much has changed over the past year its been interesting. Jon made it to Noahs Baptism, which was nice... My Nan liked him too - "he's a real gentleman Lee" I know this already!! ha ha.

Noahs birthday was good too, he really enjoyed it, so did I actually apart from the 10 kids here! Not good!

I have bought myself a new mouse for my iMac, now just a keyboard! Since I spilled OJ on the last one! I have also managed to obtain Snow Leopard! Very cool!

Not much else to say unless I think of something later.

Summer In The City.

2010-05-24T23:00:00.001+01:00

Its so damn hot, I was hot on the way to work, I was hot standing at the cashpoint and I am still hot led in bed naked... Sorry mum!

Its wrong on so many levels but also so right. I haven't posted in a while, not sure why. I suppose in all honesty is pure lazyness and maybe a little bit of being busy. What I might do is post from work as we are a little bit more quiet. Mid morning or just before I go. Maybe even time stamped. Hmmmmm.

Well its 11pm I am knackered and in need of beauty sleep.

The summer has finally arrived, it was red hot today and now I'm in for a sweaty night. Catherine is ill and Noah is teething - poor bugger. Work has been ok just quiet, shame really.

I watched Bristol Rugby play Exeter chiefs on wednesday and Bristol lost.... 6-9. However that leaves us to do it with home game and 3 point disadvantage. Bristol are gonna be back in the prem!!

Apart from that I have the new shirt as it was discounted, jacjpot. Lmao.

I Really Don't Know What To Put As A Title.

2010-05-12T23:07:00.001+01:00

I had a ok day at work it was quiet and I did what I had to do. I had my telephone interview with LV and was asked back for a face 2 face interview. I must be good!!

Got home from work at about 5:15 and Cat was still out dealing with the car and Noah. So I decided to get on with some housework. It didn't take me long and I cooked my lunch for tomorrow, washed up, washed and sterilised Noahs bottles and got the kitchen looking ship shape.

Catherine got home stupidly late, obviously didn't give me a second thought. Didn't let me know when to start dinner or anything. So I was left at about just before 8 cooking dinner. So I was up at 6:15 until now and mostly working. Then I get little or no thanks just attitude. I wonder what I have done to deserve that????

When dinner was done the car was commented on and Catherine said she had been 'messing about' with the car all day. I was shocked as the 'messing about' as she put it was actually for her benefit so she could get places!!! Well excuse me for paying £220.00 to get the car through its MOT.

To top it off just as I said I was going to bed she went to get Noahs bottle ready for the morning, I asked how long she would be and I received 10 mins as a reply. That was 20 mins ago.

Thanks Lee for being an amazing boyfriend!!!

Bristol Rugby

2010-05-11T21:43:00.000+01:00

I watched Bristol rugby play on Sky Sports 4 and it was an awesome game! In a bruising encounter at The Memorial Stadium, Bristol battled their way into the Final of the RFU Championship with a convincing 28-15 win over London Welsh.

After a shock try only thirty-six seconds in from the visitors, Bristol's composure proved crucial as the home side delivered under immense pressure in this knock-out fixture, climbing back from an early deficit to score three tries courtesy of Junior Fatialofa, Lee Robsinon and Sky's Man of the Match, Roy Winters.

Bristol's victory this evening sees their efforts in twenty-two league games and six play-offs fixtures rewarded with one step closer to the ultimate prize: promotion to the Guinness Premiership.

Regardless of results at Sandy Park tomorrow, Bristol's performance in the play-offs stages sees them claim the second leg home advantage in the Final, to take place on Wednesday May 26th.

The semi-final started with a jolt for the hosts when Adrian Jarvis' chip was charged down by Dominic Shappo, the centre quickly collecting the loose ball to loop in under the posts for a converted try with just seconds gone. 0-7

Stunned by the blow, Bristol tried to hit back but their nerves showed when the ball was over-thrown at an attacking line-out. Fortunately, Welsh knocked the ball on and allowed Bristol to launch an exciting move, with Lee Robinson coming close to breaking through before a Welsh defender stop the attack short. Gordon Ross tried to clear the danger but his kick was too strong, sailing out on the full to keep the momentum with Bristol.

The Bristol pack drove with typical directness from the resulting line-out but anxious handling from the back line saw the move break down. After continued persistence, the home side were rewarded with a penalty when Welsh came offside. Fly-half Jarvis took direction to head for the posts, to which he duly obliged to narrow the gap to 3 - 7.

The visitors were undaunted and were quickly back into the Bristol half, only to be called back for a forward pass. The home side showed signs of early nerves as some poor handling and kicking meant that Welsh gained the initial upper hand, adding a further 3 points through Aled Thomas when the Bristol came offside. 3-10

After another offside offence - this time by the Exiles - Bristol were presented with another chance to drive for the line, superbly executed by the forwards to see Roy Winters burst over from close range for a converted try. 10-10

After a failed penalty kick, Jarvis' decision to kick for the line out paid dividend when, off the breakdown, scrum-half Jason Spice darted round the forwards to move proceedings down the left wing. Jarvis stepped backed in, popping the ball out to James Merriman who powered close with Luke Eves and James Phillips pushing for the line. Junior Fatialofa finished off the assault on Welsh's try line, eventually spotting a gap to cross by the posts. After deliberation from the Television Mach Official, a try was rewarded and the subsequent conversion saw Bristol ahead by seven at the break. 17 - 10 .

Having survived a shaky first quarter, Bristol came out strongly in the second half, knowing the next forty minutes would be truly make-or-break. In a similar fashion to the first half, a further offside offence saw the first points added to the board, Bristol's Jarvis striking between the posts for a clear ten point lead.

The visitors tried to hit back and Michael Hill made good ground to set up a quality field position, edging closer to the Bristol line before solid defensive work from James Merriman at the breakdown averted the danger.

Bristol kept up the pressure on the Welsh and a yellow card was brandished to hooker as the hooker illegally slowed down the Bristol ball.

Against a weakened pack, the forwards produced another strong attack to heave over the line, only for the TMO to rule "no try" with the ball deemed held-up. Bristol's efforts were not lost however when an earlier penalty advantage was called, Jarvis promptly extending the lead 23 - 10.

Now firing on all cylinders and the Final in sight, Bristol proved dangerous all over the pitch and Welsh were unable to contain their assaults as Lee Robinson cut a striking line, taking fellow winger Tom Arscott's outside pass to beat his defender and claim Bristol's third try. 28 - 10.

Despite trailing by eighteen, the Exiles continued to press Bristol and Simon Whatling made an excellent break that wrong-footed the Bristol defenders. His support managed to arrive in time to keep the move going and Errie Claassens went over for what would be the final score of the game, 28 - 15.

I will be there. Hopefully.....

£20.00 per ticket and then the cost of a shirt £20.00 so £60.00 all in and I will be loving the evening.

Do I buy this or buy a polo shirt..... hmmmm

Choices choices.

Anyway after a few lovely days off and going to the gym and even swimming with Noah and Cat I am back to work..... Oh the joy.

Bed time now though.........................

The Wire & Luther

2010-05-05T20:06:00.000+01:00

I watched Luther last night on BBC, it was very very good for the BBC. It has the guy from the Wire, so I have been told by my mate Joseph. He also brought in The Wire Season 1 on DVD to work today.... Should be good.

It features a guy called Idris Elba who is a minor actor turned major due to the HBO show The Wire as well as a Dj and Hip Hop/R&B artist.

The Wire's Idris Elba may have experienced a new sensation with the debut of his BBC1 cop drama Luther last night, Tuesday 4 May – starring in a TV show that a significant number of viewers watched live. Luther opened with 5.646 million viewers and a 23.8% audience share on BBC1, comfortably winning the 9pm hour. Another 111,000 (0.47%) watched the BBC HD simulcast. This gave BBC1 a 35% uplift compared with the average audience share for the slot over the past three months, the best performance of any show yesterday by this comparison.

So all in all a good programme, Set my Sky+ box to do some damage and that's it.....

I had a ok day as well today and yesterday, still lots going on.... Being brassic and having to pay copius amounts of bills are rubbish but alas will be resolved. At least I still have Catherine and Noah... They do keep me going.

Anyway off now,

Ciao

Naohs 1st Birthday - Election 2010.....

2010-05-01T07:32:00.001+01:00

That was on the 29th. I was going to post on here but way too tired, so just hit the sack.

It was a good evening, apart from only having one gift to open with my son. I felt a bit left out but its all good. Work has been weird, redundancies everywhere and even though I expect the company is trying their best not to get rid of staff, it doesn't look like it. Polling day is fast approaching, so I have to decide which one of these 3 I will vote for......

To be honest its best of a bad bunch.

Where I used to live it was Labour all the way... (I will not disclose who I voted for). Now its the opposite. Few illustrations on how its going.

As you can see in 2005, Labour had it now, Its very close.

Anyway, I will try and post more later from Noahs birthday bash!

I have managed to do a few things before the Dr told me to stop and got some help in the process. Now the place is lovely, much needed change. I will tell more when I get the internet back, hopefully the 15th April.

I have been off work which is nice but then I know I will be in the shit when I get back and its easter weekend and I can't do bugger all. However lots of movies to watch!

It also doesn't help the issues that are in my life are not the best and everything seems to be on me.

Oh I forgot to add its with boiled rice.

Payday tomorrow so I'm happy, well I will be for about 0.6secs which is about the time my balance will show at the cash point.. ha ha

Work was ok today, I am trying my best to shift some of the work we have and I think I am making headway.... Problem is every time I am off it just piles up. Oh the fun never stops!!

Also some of the claims we have make me laugh so hard a few as follows -

£7000.00 Bike which had parts stolen from it deeming it a write off.... Funny that as the parts were parts you would have to take your time and strip down the vehicle. Convenient the client was repairing the vehicle at the time.... I smell Bull Shit......

Yes my son took my 09 plate Fiesta ST without consent and then rolled it and I want my money tomorrow.... Then tell the police I drop the charges... Do I have TWAT written on my forehead.

I have taken my Mini apart for repairs and the fuel tank caught fire, which gutted the shell of the Mini, however as I have an agreed value I want my £4500.00..... Agreed value based on the car being whole, not in bits.... PRICK, you can kiss my ass.....

I want £5000.00 for my car as it was stolen..... But sir you insured it for £1500.00..... No I didn't, even if I did its worth more now..... Ummm NO...... You get what you insured it for. BTW are you auditioning for Paramount Comedy????

Just a few that made me laugh, I think that's why I enjoy going into work. Its definitely not the money or distance. must be that and the people.....

Anyway off to give Noah some cuddles before I go to bed.

Which is so true! Because it is one of the best days in the Irish calendar.

I relaxed today, got some sleep and I feel loads better as I was feeling nasty at the beginning of the week. I didn't get much for my birthday, but at my age I don't mind, I have got everything I want anyway.

Jennifer's Body.
The Time Travelers Wife.
The Forth Kind.
Couples Retreat.

Brilliant.

My birthday next week though so something to look forward too. I don't feel any older I just feel tired and worn out. I would like however, for life to give me a little bit of luck. That is the one thing lacking in the last few years of my life.

Hopefully with our impending move things will turn themselves around, I just have to make sure everything is paid and we are free from debt.

Steven Russell (Carrey) leads a seemingly average life – an organ player in the local church, happily married to Debbie (Leslie Mann), and a member of the local police force.

That is until he has a severe car accident that leads him to the ultimate epiphany: he’s gay and he’s going to live life to the fullest – even if he has to break the law to do it.

Taking on an extravagant lifestyle, Steven turns to cons and fraud to make ends meet and is eventually sent to the State Penitentiary where he meets the love of his life, a sensitive, soft-spoken man named Phillip Morris (McGregor).

His devotion to freeing Phillip from jail and building the perfect life together prompts him to attempt (and often succeed at) one impossible con after another.

Told with an uncanny sense of humour and a lot of heart, “I Love You Phillip Morris” is an oddball tale of what can happen when the legal system, a daredevil spirit and undying love collide.

Released 17th march. take a look at some clips from the movie:

Unfortunately it just was not for me. Yes it was funny and yes it was a very good film.... But there was something missing, not sure what..... It also didn't help seeing Carrey and McGregor kissing, I am not homophobic in the slightest, but please, icons like that just don't go right in a gay love buddy movie.

I would recommend a watch but not to buy on DVD!!

Sorry, your not getting my ££££.

We have been over Cats mums new flat. It would be a lovely place to live. I hope we get the house we saw!!!! Its lovely, I will draw a plan so you can all see... :)

Sunday My Day Of Rest...... Supposidly!

2010-03-07T11:50:00.000Z

Ok so I was up early today, not sure why.... I suppose it is because I have stuff to do and also excited about the new house we may be moving too..... It is lovely, nice family home. A little more expensive than what I was hoping but I think worth it and it may reduce some of the stress in my relationship with Catherine.

I scanned this in today as it made me laugh last year and I forgot to scan it in and post it then.....

I could not stop laughing..... The person who put this on the bill is a LEGEND!!!

I also have a group on Facebook trying to find and thank he person who did this....

I will post again later...

Glee: The Music Volume 2

2010-03-07T11:13:00.000Z

For fans who just can’t get enough of Glee’s high spirited music, Glee: The Music, Volume 2 hits stores on Tuesday December 8. This second volume features the cast’s take on such pop powerhouse tunes as Kelly Clarkson’s “My Life Would Suck Without You,” Cyndi Lauper’s “True Colors,” Van Halen’s “Jump” and a really special version of John Lennon’s “Imagine” (See below for full track listing). Glee is infectious and the music is sure to bring joy, which is exactly why the Chicago Tribune exclaimed “Any TV show soundtrack that induces people of all ages to dance around the kitchen is doing something right.”

The full track listing for “Glee: The Music, Volume 2” is as follows:

“Proud Mary”
“Endless Love”
“I’ll Stand By You”
“Don’t Stand So Close To Me / Young Girl”
“Crush”
“(You’re) Having My Baby”
“Lean On Me”
“Don’t Make Me Over”
“Imagine”
“True Colors”
“Jump”
“Smile” (cover of Lily Allen)
“Smile” (cover of Charlie Chaplin)
“And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going”
“Don’t Rain On My Parade”
“You Can’t Always Get What You Want”
“My Life Would Suck Without You”

I LOVE THIS ALBUM!!!!!! ha ha

Landlords & Tenants

2010-03-07T01:01:00.000Z

Today or shall I say yesterday has been a crazy day. The landlords parents came over to clean stuff and to prove there is no damp etc. This was not a problem with us just a real pain in the ass! However, we may have found the best property to rent ever.......... More on that situation to come.

Today has been ok after that, just fell asleep in front of tv! Ha ha.... Getting old!

I will try to give full update tomorrow.

W@tch This Sp@ce

2010-03-06T00:01:00.001Z

I have decided to cancel the London trip. Mainly because I am skint but also because I have a funny feeling I may need the money!! We will be looking at houses to rent soon, we need to get out this flat. The landlord, well his parents have been over today and did a bit of work. Mainly cleaning and fixing shit. But things look better already.

Noahs room is warmer already which I am not surprised about, as the draft has been quashed!! (I like that word). Speaking of Noah.... Cat took a good picture the other day... My little boy is so cute! I'm surprised. Ha ha.

Ok well its late now and I need some shut eye as I doubt I will get a lay in tomorrow!!!

When will my luck change??

2010-03-04T23:11:00.000Z

So today I got up went to work and about 30 minutes of being there Catherine called me to tell me some bastard has broken our bedroom window. I thought it might have just happened but no I was wrong... It had happened in the night and we hadn't even heard! I'm not sure if it was some chav trying to break in or just a clever fucker throwing something at the window!

So Cat called the landlord etc and advised them of the situation!! As well as the rest of the crap that is going on, the situation is really starting to get to me!! Mr. Nash snr and kyles mom are coming over tomorrow to fix various things and bring the insurance guy here also the cooker will arrive. Problem is they have nobody to disconnect the old one and re connect the new one..... I don't know where they plan on leaving the new cooker!

Oh well Catherine will have to keep me posted as much as possible tomorrow!

Right off to sleep now as I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow!!!!

On the final stretch of the week.......

2010-03-03T22:34:00.000Z

I am knackered, but nearly at the weekend... Need a break and need to tidy the flat properly. I think I will be kicking ass this weekend and go for a major tidy up. If its not got a home its going!

Also just try and rest this weekend as I am pushing myself way too much and I am starting to feel ill. :(

Work was ok today apart from being put upon by certain people!

Dinner was lovely too, pasta and peas with ham! Yummy!

I will try and make a better post tomorrow as I am way too tired now.

Last but not least I took this picture the other day and its awesome! ha ha

Ciao x

Quicktime.....

2010-03-02T20:55:00.000Z

Ok I had work today at 10am, which was nice as it meant I could have a reasonable lay in and also cuddle Noah without rushing.

Today has been quite busy and problematic but has ended pretty quick.

Got home at 7pm, not that bad really. But crap I expect in the summer.

I am really going for this making my own lunch thing as I need to save!!

Umm not much else to say.... Boring really ha ha

May pop back later.

Ciao

What A Weekend.........

2010-03-01T23:03:00.000Z

I have had a really good weekend apart from a few idiots spoiling it. But I will not go into that as I have to keep my thoughts positive. I went out Saturday Night and got drunk, Sunday was my day of rest and today was my Drs. and garage appointments.

It has been nice today, just relaxed at Handprints with Noah and watched a Magician.... Who in all honesty was shite. But hey he was for kids!

Had hot dogs for dinner, simple yet tasty! Yummy!

I have just watched Heroes and Being Human and I am going to have to get some shut eye, even though I don't start work until 10am tomorrow! Jackpot baby.....

I also came across this picture again.... Its sooo funny!

Maybe I will have someting more eventfull to say tomorrow.

Gents Club Beer Session.....

2010-02-28T17:04:00.000Z

Ok so its that time again when the Gents Club gets to go out and have drinks...

The Gents Club comprises of the suspects below.....

Simon & Kev

Joe

The Gents Club was established in 2008 by Kev, Jo & Simon... there are 2 new members myself and Rose. Now I bet you are thinking its a Gents Club.... Well Rose is shall we say a honorary Gent. ha ha.

This time we started in the Old Fishmarket, which was packed due to the England V Ireland rugby game. England lost so I was a little upset. We then watched some football and if you know me you will know I don't like football really. But it was still nice to get out with the lads!! Then we went on to O'neils which was quality... I do enjoy it in there! Red Guinness! Yummy... The countdown to my birthday has started.....

This was taken @ 23:22 27/02/2010

Then we went on to Greenhouse, which has not changed even since the fire. Then my memory goes kinda blank, I know we went to BSB as I have been caught in photos and there is a BSB stamp on the back of my hand. I also know I got a burger as I brought it up the early hours of this morning... Ooooppps.

I actually did forget to post my blog yesterday, which really was not exciting anyway so does not really matter. I did however watch Footloose, which is an awesome film!

Well its now Sunday afternoon, I have tomorrow off as I have to go to the Drs. I am kinda nervous and worried what she will say. I also have to get some more meds, its costing me a small fortune! I am watching My Little Eye as I am writing my blog, not a very good film. Its a cross between Blair Witch and Big Brother, I personally think its a waste of money. Finally I am cooking Cat a lovely Sunday lunch just to show her I love her and appreciate all she does for me and Noah.

Talking of Noah he is changing everyday, I can't quite believe it. What I do love about being a dad is the unconditional love Noah has for me.... I just hope I never let him down.

It is 16 days 7 hours and 6 minutes to my birthday.... Cant wait!

Anyway I may post again later.

Ciao

Oh How I Love Thee

2010-02-26T22:42:00.000Z

Yes you got it right I LOVE THE NEW APPLE MOUSE it officially is the daddy and I will be getting it!

Work was pretty pants today, Rich H got his strop on but that was sorted! I think he realised he was being a cock even though I was fooling about. Holly S got upset again, all because of Ben.... What a knob! She has also got a job with Easy Jet.... WTF.... move from Insurance to Easy Jet...

I was left on my own from 12:45pm until 5:30pm.... why don't I just bend over for them.....

Had a lovely Chicken Casserole dinner that Cat made.... Yummy. I did however get a phonecall on the way home asking if the Chicken was ok, as it smelt sweet..... Yes dear it is fine!

Beers tomorrow night, not many just enough to get me asleep.... 5:30pm n the Fish Market and watch either Football or Rugby. Should be fun!

Noah is being a pain but hey he is not even 1 yet and has lots of growing up to do. He is still gorgeous and makes me so happy.

Anyway off to watch Deja Vu now, only a wee it of it.

Ciao

Boom Chicka Wah Wah

2010-02-25T22:31:00.000Z

Hmmm today has been interesting in many ways. One of them was because Catherine found some more info about how we can get the Landlord to do shizzle and how he is not doing his duties. Brilliant!!!

We need to get something done as this is getting beyond a joke, £550.00 pcm for what?? hmmmm

Also work was ok, found out the Kelly H is a bitch (I knew that already really). Most of us are looking to leave. Holly S got upset due to her backlog (that sounds painful) ha ha. Ummm thats about it!

I cooked Thai Green Curry tonight, the veggie option, lovely..... I could eat it and other veggie meals more often! That might be a plan! Sorry Catherine...

Casual dress tomorrow, which will be cool.... not sure what i am wearing but hopefully I can find something that fits! My weight is going up and down so not sure what does and what doesn't.

Not long now until my birthday, really kinda not looking forward to it.

Well apart from that my day as been pretty uneventful...

Just in case any of you are interested here is a link for cheap pizza from PIZZA HUT.

Ciao

Me + Work / 5 / 7 = Stress

2010-02-24T22:28:00.000Z

What a day.

Really can't start explaining the situation. I will try.

It is sometimes fun, and sometimes really bad, mostly because its busy but also because of the lack of support. The systems are slow and we can't do anything faster as they just freeze, not a good business plan. I also have the most awkward customers in the world calling up telling me I dont know how much their car is worth..... Well actually I do, and its not much more than 20p ha ha.... The most recent guy has Ford Freda aka Mazda Bongo, the Ford is less popular as its Ford and the Japs think they are a joke. However, the Ford is also a Mazda Bongo, which Is all the rave in Japan etc. So one is worth more than the other. See Below -

Long story short I was right! We had an independent engineer value it to stop the complaint and I was right!

Went to Tescos tonight, busy and spent too much, but hey we have to eat. Noah is being a gem and I think we are so far very lucky to have a good child. Only 2 more days of work then out on the piss..... Well only a few as I need to keep some money back due to my birthday trip to London.

There will be a awesome blog for that in March!

Anyway, I am off to bed as I really do need my beauty sleep!

Ciao

To be paid or not to be paid...... That is the question...

2010-02-23T22:41:00.000Z

Payday for me is normally 23rd of every month, however I was not paid today. Not a problem as I had some money left over, but it was funny to see all those people assuming we have been paid.

Work was quite enjoyable today, yes I said ENJOYABLE ha ha. However tomorrow Jaimie and the girls are back on the bank of desks so its gonna be noisy and busy. I had this guy today with a Range Rover 90 worth most likely £4-£5k, the engineer valued it at £1750.00 ha ha, the fella was not impressed and then decided to give me grief for the next 20 minutes. I was polite and calm and basically stated if you want a higher offer, send in some evidence. Next thing I know he was telling me he wanted it back, I happily said NO as its a Cat B write off, no chance in hell its going back on the road. He was still not pleased. He kept saying I own it etc etc, end of day Mr. Man, its Illegal (ish) ha ha.

Had a Beef Baguette with lettuce and cucumber again for lunch, tasty but didn't rock my socks off! However the 2 packets of Monster Munch were magnificent!!

I'm getting fat again!! Time to stay away from the munchies!

Ok well that is all for my day really, apart from not getting listened too at home, well I mean my wisdom being disregarded....

Spanish Omelet for dinner, was very nice, again Catherine did well making it. This might mean Cat starts making other meals and trying new things!!! Fingers crossed.

Anyway its 10pm, I'm tired and will getting my bum to bed asap. Might even read a book.... Yes I can read.

Ciao

Short & Sweet......

2010-02-22T23:04:00.000Z

That's how I like them.... ha ha (do I sound like a perv?)

First day on a 9:30 5:30, it wasn't as bad as I first thought, KP was not expecting me not to be in at 9am.... Oh how he is mistaken.

Work was pants as usual but looking about for a career move, there are a few going and fingers crossed I'm in the running.

Had spaghetti Bolognaise, which was lovely. I am a wee bit tired, but should be ok for bed in a few hrs.

It was nice to leave my house this morning at 8am and not feel knackered. Then again its also nice to be home before dark.

I get paid tomorrow and first things first I need to give Diane some cash for dropping me in. She has saved my bacon.... Speaking of bacon I'm hungry!

I spent my last £3.40 on lunch today and had a beef and horseradish baguette with lettuce and cucumber... mmm and obviously I had to have it with a packet of BEEF Monster Munch and can of Coke! I am such a fatty!

Finally Catherine sent me this picture today of Noah.... Bless his little cotton socks!

Catch you all tomorrow

Ciao

Sunday = Sunday Lunch!

2010-02-21T21:57:00.000Z

Well today was relaxing but also hard work. Catherine was her usual chirpy, bite your head off self, shame really because when she is nice she is awesome.

We went to a wedding fair mainly for Cat and actually has had shit for doing stuff for her...It was at Cadbury House (nothing to do with chocolate). It was very nice there but I didn't enjoy it as it brought back memories of my FAILED last marriage, but I don't think Cat realised that.

What didn't help is Cat being a pain, because I went for her and want her to be happy and I just wanted t say if you want to get married then don't treat me like a prick! I do all I can for her and still get grief, I do think we are a lot alike though... My ex girlfriend Lynseys birthday was in Feb and that was a lot of arguments apart from that things were ok. But that is what ended everything!!

I love Cat loads and just want her to realise that!

When we were at Cadbury House which I thought was lovely we saw this -

Do you think its real??????

Also I forgot to post these yesterday, my little man! ha ha.

I didn't take my notebook yesterday so forgot a few things like seeing my nephew and how much he has changed... -

With Becky my sis in law!

Anyway I have spent enough time on the comp, time for a drink and chill before bed.

Ciao

I love Saturday......

2010-02-20T20:46:00.001Z

My fave day ever!

Ok so today I got up got ready, helped get Noah ready and headed into Bristol to see the parents and pick up Mr. Wilcox.... Long time since I have seen him but he has not changed, still Welsh! ha ha

We then went to my parents where I saw my nephew for the first time in what seems like months........ oh hang on its been 3 months.

We then went to ASDA Cribbs and finally Tesco home, and got Noah this hat -

Doesn't he look awesome! ha ha

Then we went for coffee then home. Take Me Out was on and it was good, shame some of the birds did not get dates..... Now its time to settle down and watch a movie, just not sure which one to go for!

Ciao

Funky Friday

2010-02-19T18:36:00.000Z

Thank god this day has finally come around! I am loving that it is Friday and I get to spend the time with the family, might go for a walk and take Noah to the park! He will love it.... or hate it ha ha!

Work was pants today but hey at least it was quiet!

Tonight for dinner we have the fantastic Sausage and Chips, yummy. It's basic but hey its food. I was thinking today I must be the only person in the world who hasn't seen any of the Godfather Trilogy.... What a fool, but luckily I have lovely friends who have lent me the DVDs....

Not much on the google box tonight so may try and get a early night, may watch a film in bed... That would be nice.

Oh also recently I saw these Mr Men pictures whilst looking for some for Noah.....

Truly funny!

Anyway I am off to finish cooking dinner.

Ciao

What is the problem......

2010-02-18T17:54:00.000Z

With lots of things mainly, work..... I work my ass off for what? FUCK ALL..... I take crap all day and still strive to do my best and then my twatty manager gives me crap. Why doesn't everyone just grow up and get along, you are at work most of your life so you need to get used to doing it.

Hopefully a new job will be on the horizon as I cannot bare to work in the same office as some of wankers there!! There are however some really nice people there, just a shame they sit too far away. I have to sit next to this happy sole ha ha

Anyway after a few hiccups i finished at 4:10pm...... Home by 5pm. I'm on lates next week but thats ok as i get to have a bit of a lye in!!

Well I have Chiken Kiev tonight with some Pasta and by golly gosh I am starving!

Anyway time to spend some time with my little one.... So happy to have a gorgeous boy.

Ciao

Midweek Madness

2010-02-17T19:44:00.000Z

Hows it going?????

Today was a reasonably good day, I got up (late) was ready by 6:50am and meeting Diane at 6:55am. Got into work at 7:35am and started work. Had lots to do so cracked on with it. Work was kinda busy but overall not that bad.....

I was not stressed that much today which makes a change possibly because im getting earlier nights....

Got home about 5pm, which was nice... It means I get to spend time with Cat and Noah. However, I decided to write a letter to the landlord and I must say its good!!!! ha ha.....

Cat went up Tescos today and spent money..... ouch! We still have bills to pay.... Anyway its time to get off the iMac and chillax with my gorgeous family.

Ciao

Total Waste Of Time

2010-02-16T22:43:00.000Z

The company I work for is a waste of time and space!! We were so busy today that I actually didn't manage to pick up any claims, why because they thought rather than getting staff they just take one away.

I had to write this out today in my book as I was so pissed off.

Catherine and I looked a a house 2 doors down from where we are now, it was lovely! exactly the same as what were in but upgraded and newer. Problem is however, it will cost in excess of £1000.00 to move in and to be honest I don't think is worth it.

Anyway, we will stay where we are and try and save the pennies so we can move out of this dump. I can't live here and certainly can't let Catherine and Noah either.

Noah has been a terror tonight, but he has made me laugh so much..... Catherine was choking and coughing and Noah was in fits of laughter.... Brilliant.... That's my boy ha ha.

On that note im off!

Ciao

P.s. Hope those of you who read this recently enjoyed..... Leave me some comments.

Ok Now For Today 15th Feb 2010....

2010-02-15T19:24:00.000Z

I was up early for work and it was not a struggle, weird... I forgot to take my tablets again, which is a load of shizzle. I had to take them when I got home.

Work was busy and I actually don't seem to get anything done, always problems. I finished at 4pm so it was worth it, flew home and tried to chill do my blog etc. Catherine made Spag Bol which was tasty and filling, she is getting better at this cooking malarky!

I got a letter from the Drs. today about booking an appointment, something to do with Ferritin. If you have read any other blogs its because of the high iron levels in my body. I have found out a few things via Wikipedia, unsure what is right and what is wrong but its all here.

Some of it is a bit worrying, but the letter says NON URGENT but it still puts questions in your mind.

I think its time to get some birthday cake and chillax as my back is killing.... BOOOO!!! ha ha

Ciao

Cats Birthday/ Valentines Weekend

2010-02-15T19:12:00.001Z

I must be so unlucky to fall for someone who has a birthday is on the 13th February!!! Costs me a small fortune!

Well its 13th Feb, Cat was still asleep when i woke up because Noah has been up all night. My poor little boy has the sniffles. I treated her to a home made bacon sandwich and let he chill in bed until 9:30am... I decided that I would take Catherine up to the Mall @ Cribbs to look for some clothes but she really didn't want too... That made me feel great as I wanted to treat her. I didn't realise but I had not taken my tablets and felt stressed, its weird how these things happen. Also wanted to go up the mall to look for the Moleskine book, but i expect i will have to order it off the internet. Better do that at payday...

Glenda came over around lunchtime and we went up the mall so i did not watch the Rugby. Wales V Scotland in the 6 Nations today and England v Italy on the 14th Feb.

Noah is pulling himself up more often and he is such a terror, moving about loads now and well growing up quickly.

I have to remember to write a letter to the landlord as well as this place is a shit hole, needs some serious work done.

Also whilst i was up the Mall i saw this -

How expensive is Valentines day... £20.00 for a bunch of Roses... I would rather buy a box of roses for £3.00. ha ha

Later we went up Allen and Melissas and had drinks and played Tekken on the PS3. I was good sometimes and crap the other. Shame ha ha, i used to be awesome.

Also had Dominos and a birthday cake for Catherine (25) awww..... Mine soon!

Well i went to bed at 2:26am and Catherine followed at 6:30 am.... I was not best pleased. Very tired and drunk, but hey it was her birthday. We stayed at Allen and Melissas and it has to be said they are lovely people and we are lucky to know them.

Valentines Day, well this consisted of getting up. Going to Tescos buying lunch and cooking it over A & Ms house. Was one of the best lunches i have ever made. We finally got home however at 6pm, knackered, but after a really good weekend.

Catherine liked her card and Mr. Bump toy.... It was cute! Just like me ha ha.

I had work today and had to get up early.... So i made it to bed at 9pm and fell straight asleep.

I think this is the longest blog ever ha ha.

Ciao
