the plan

you remember the plan right?
get job
get house
get girl
get holiday

yeah?
wel the get girl line came and went depending on my mood to be honest, but the basics involved job, house and holiday

well today i booked my tickets to make that final missing chunk a reality
that's right i booked my flights to go to the states
i'm heading to georgia
to see linny
:)
i'm so excited
in under 10 weeks i'll be there

that's all for tonight though folks
catch up soon

sweet release

it's sunday and i've lept really well the last two nights
it's been bliss
and better than that i've managed to go out both nights and have a good time while only having 2 pints...

so friday night i was supposed to be going out with mates from the pub, we were going into abingdon...but at the same time we were starting in abingdon...which is confusing i'm sure.
anyway i've been taking all sorts of tablets to try and ease this cold away, none have really been working much, but it is getting better... so due to this and the fact that i wasn't really in the mood, i drove over and thought that maybe if ihave a few drinks then i'll kip on the sofa again, or i could drive home later. i chose the latter
i got called weak through facebook because i didn't go out all night...which is fair enough, i called the guy weak last weekend for the same reason...lol

then last night i met up with my soon to be housemate and had a drink with her
she's getting very excited at the prospect that we're becoming housemates, and to be honest i'm looking forwad to it too. she's going to help me find a woman by vetting any that i introduce to her, so i think i'm going to add that into the plan!
we also joked about having dinner parties and things like that, you know, generally being civilised and cultured adults...yeah i can hear you all laughing from here...

get this too, i spent 3 hours emptying the loft yesterday, rooting through years and years worth of rubbish, or treasure depending on how you look at it. i found records, vinyl 7", 10" and 12" stuff dating back to the early 60's if not a little older. i found a record player from the same era that i'm dying to fix and see if i can get it working again...think of the money i could make from these things!!!
i also found my old school reports from when i was like 7...how freaky is that? according to one report at the age of 7 i have a reading age of 9 and a half...see i was intellegent at one point!

anyway, seeing as it's sunday, i've got roast dinner today :) and it's not going to be long, so i'm going to sign off in a minute...
just a warning, because this driving job is proper rubbish, it's unlikely that i'll be blogging on a daily basis any more :( and seeing that this week i've agreed to do a stupid amount of cover at the pub as well, i'm not sure when i'll be able to blog...however when i get my new home (under 2 weeks now) and get it up and running and will likely blog whenever i can...

right, hope you're all enjoying your weekend
take care

Addendum
i forgot to say that even though i'm not going to be blogging every day i will still take a pic of myself every day and post them over on The 365 P(roject)X in bulk when i next can get online

one last thing, i found this on youtube...it was done for comic relief the other week, and because i missed it, i searched youtube for it and now i'm going to share it because it's AWESOME!
enjoy

friday funtimes

ok so its friday
i've done the course
and i've done the first week as a white van man
and in all honesty i can say that the course was by far the more interesting of the pair!

and i've seen the wrong side of 7am more times this week than i'd like to mention...
and i've also seen the wrong side of midnight most nights as well

still it's all for the plan

you remember the plan right?
get job
get house
have holiday
(have abridged the plan slightly and ignored previous plans which had a step 4 which was get woman, this has been put on hold until i've decided that it's time that it should go back on there as i'm having as much trouble as you are keeping up to date with my own whims...)

anyway
i can now check off the first item
and seeing as i shall be moving in just over 2 weeks, i'll soon be checking off the second one as well
once they are out of the way and i've got things settled with the job front (i reckon about a month to six weeks) i'll start thinking about where to go on holiday too...
i'm thinking a return to the states might be good
i'm also thinking about doing something different though, so something like a trekking holiday somewhere hot and where i can do stuff other than get drunk and get sunburnt

anyway i've not had much in the way of interesting things happen to me this week
although at the course yesterday we had a 40 minutes examination at the end of the day, it was one of them multiple guess question papers... i finished in 10 minutes and got up and left much to the shock/horror of other people in the room... i was allowed to, before you all think anything else... anyway hopefully next week i'll find out if i can apply for my personal license (which will legally allow me to sell and authorise the sale of alcohol within a designated premises (which must also have a license)) and from there i'm going to look into getting into the pub trade properly, you know, actually running my own pub
i think i could do that and i'd enjoy it too...

right then peeps
leaving you with this...they're a brit group, some would call them pop, some would call them rock, i'm not going to pigeon hole them, you decide...
this is the feeling with never be lonely
and i'm dedicating it to all of you, with you all out there i know that no matter how bad things seem and no matter how down i get and alone i may feel, deep inside i'm never lonely

take care peeps and have a good weekend :)

that friday feeling

ok it's friday, yesterday was a nice and chilled day for me, i didn't work last night in the pub and well, pretty much everything i did yesterday was chilled and relaxed :)
i sat back and watched my name is earl, i'm now about half way through season one and i think it's awesome, i sat and watched some of the special features as well. i think it's an awesome show and i'm gutted i missed so many of them when they were shown on TV...anyway 'm making up for it now :)
also watched casino royale, the latest bond films, and i've got to say i was suitably surprised, i enjoyed it loads. they made a load of references back to the older bonds, including the nice use of an old aston martin and the sexual innuendo laden names (although i can't remember what it was that he called her now...) and for being an institution, the blond bond did himself proud. it also helped out with a few things that me and a couple of mates have discussed in the past (like why there can be some many different bonds and all that...we came up with it being a code name that's passed around a bit...seems logical now too)
today i went into the printshop and did some work, but the amount that was in would've taken the old guy most of the day and probably some of monday too...but it took me 3 hours, and seeing as there was nothing else left for me to do i packed up and finished for the day :)
i think i'm going to go in on tuesday over there and finish up a couple of things and then i'm all done as i start a full time driving job on monday (not working tuesday because i've got to go to the dentist and i've got an interview late in the afternoon, not working thursday either because i'm going on a course to get my personal license for the pub :) )
should also hear back in monday as to if i've been successful with the rental application, which could mean that this time next week i'm flapping around trying to make sure that i've packed everything ready for moving...
fingers crossed :)

ok
song for the weekend is inspired bu tthe fact that my plan is coming together nicely and i loved it as a kid...

I just love it when a plan comes together :)

take it easy peeps, have a good weekend and enjoy yourselves :)
i'm off to a gig to see beneva this weekend, should be good
and tonight i'm off to give my liver another merciless beating
laters peeps

ok lodas to report, things that i've been sitting on a while
ok maybe a while is a little bit of an exaggeration
things that i've been sitting on since tuesday...
1.) i have a full time job...the driving one that i was on about yesterday. this is a full time job, that's the important bit. the print shop work isn't full time, and as such wasn't helping things out as much as i'd have liked. however, i'm going to keep doing some work for the print shop on an ad hoc basis because it's fun work and it's not like i can't do it :)
2.) i've found a flat to live in, and although it's a bit on the less desirable side of things, once it's been made a little homely i'm sure it'll be fine. and i've got a flat mate to live there as well, making things a little easier for both of us :)
3.) things on the woman front are as always a little weird, i think that there's a possibility of someone coming along and things will be ok...but we shall see what happens there, i'mnot holding my breath though

so all in all the plan looks to be going ahead :)
wuhoo!!
anyway that's all really, i promise something fun for tomorrow peeps :)
take care

hmmm...interesting

ok so i've got less than 2 hours until i'm due at today's interview
i thought it would be for an estate agent...which i guess it kinda is, but not really.
although they are in the property market
it's not local property they sell, it's global!
why am i just finding this out?
i guess i should research things a little earlier than the morning of the interview. still it sounds more interesting now than i first thought, so that's got to be a bonus.

feeling better again today, seems as though i'm feeling better as each day passes...still no idea why i was down the other day, but a weekend of laying around on the sofa does wonders!

mum made a fatal mistake yesterday when she told my sister and nephew that he should be playing on the playstation because it strengthens your eyes...(according to some research that she'd read some place...) so i spent the next couple of hours strengthening my eyes :)

had a call at 1am this morning from a mate that i've not spoken to since xmas, she's invited me to go and be a student for the night at the end of the week...cheap drinks, good friends, i didn't need much convincing about that one. and it gets me out of the area for the day too

quiz tonight looks like i'll be either entering on my own or joining a different team again...but that's all good. jenfer can't make it this week, which is a shame. (if i win sweets i'm not sharing them with you love!)

anyway, i've got to hit the shower and get myself suited and booted for my interview. got another one tomorrow too...the plan is slowly unfolding

the plan

get drink
drink drink

ok maybe not fly

maybe the plan should be:

unlikely to happen though

ok revised:
get drink
drink drink
do quiz and enjoy

yeah, that works for me :)
