it's bloody deceptive

not sure what i'm planning on saying, things are very strange at the moment, i thought i was ok and had turned a page in so much as i was ok and starting to realise that i needed to get on with everything after lizzy going. i was doing really well, but then yesterday i don't know why, but i just started to feel miserable again, it's stretched into today too which hasn't been too good, it might even make it into tomorrow...not good at all

feeling very tired at the moment too, probably because it was nearly half 1 when i got in from the wrestling last night, it was good fun, but i just wasn't in the mood, i started out thinking i wasn't, got there and started to lighten up a bit, but eventually i just didn't want to be there

the rest of the week has been a little weird, stopped over with woja on tuesday and friday, drinking in newbury, hope the stains came out of the carpet, but it'll teach you for falling asleep in the dunny!!!

work is going ok, not sure i really fit in there yet, but then after being at the wave over 9 years i'm not going to feel right anywhere for a while, to be honest i've really felt like phoning in sick a few times just so that i don't have to be there

finding it hard to cope with things, if i'm really honest, i see no point in doing anything anymore, it's getting really hard to deal with and there have been times recently when i've just wanted to slip away, slide down into the bath and not come back up, or whack on the handbrake while doing a fair few miles and roll the car. something that looks like an accident, but i know the truth, and it's starting to worry me a little about how much thought is going into me "escaping" but a big part of me really doesn't care anymore and i've had enough. don't worry though, i'm not going to do anything stupid, it's just thinking about it, i'm sure everyone does it at some point

it's weird

I don't really know what to do, after living with lizzy since november and basically doing everything with her, i'm at a loss for things to do because i'm so used to being with her and doing stuff together now i just don't know what to do with myself.

i went out last night with roger to a bbq in oxford, i only knew 2 people there, but i had fun for a while and i forgot about everything, then all of a sudden i had to leave and so i did. the taxi driver talked to me all the way back about how he thought that if i waited then lizzy would come back to me, he seemed so confident about it that i almost believed him. i left because i thought something was missing and i realised that every now and again i looked around for lizzy and she wasn't there, so not wanting to be a party pooper by having a breakdown i left them to it and went home. it was a sensible idea as far as i'm concerned.

i woke up this morning at 6 ish again...stupid blinds don't keep the sun out very well

i miss her

i'm scared that i scared her too much that she'll have trouble even trusting me as a friend anymore, but i'm willing to try to work on our friendship because she has been such a massive influence on my life over the last few months that i would never want to lose her completely because it would be like losing part of me.

i keep hearing things or seeing things that remind me of her without being anything to do with her, like thursday night when i was picking the washing up and burst into tears, it's not even like it was her washing, it was all my stuff, but i just couldn't help myself.

i'm so sorry for being hysterical with her when she left, i just realised that it was over and i didn't want to believe it, i still don't want to, but i've come to accept that it has happened.

i wish i could've done things differently on thursday, i wish i could've controlled my emotions so that i didn't go hysterical and start screaming, i wish i hadn't got her to move everything out there and then, i wish i hadn't given her everything that was going to remind me about what we had, i wish i hadn't given her all the engagement cards, i wish things were different

wishing is good, but it can't change things and that's upsetting.

i have no idea if she's going to read this, i hope she does, but i think she probably won't

i'm supposed to be having dinner with my parents again today, not really feeling hungry though now, i seem to have talked myself out of eating again. i know that i'll go down in a bit and eat anyway, but i just can't seem to bring myself to do it on my own.

part of me feels that even though i'm home, i'm not and i need to find out where home is

i've lost my centre and my balance

i'm out

from bad to worse

She left me, things had been going really well, but now there's nothing, she's gone and I'm not only crushed and devastated, but i'm scared and confused.

crushed: it was out of the blue and i love her.

devastated: everything i had in mind for the future involved being with her and was based on improving our life.

scared: although i'm through the suicidal and self harming phase, i'm because i didn't realise that i could be affected in this way, i went hysterical and lost control, screaming that i couldn't let her go, blocking the doorway, crying and screaming, but i calmed down when i realised how much i scared her and scared myself. now though i think i've pushed her away by scaring her, now i think that she's lost trust in me, i'd never hurt/harm her and i'd never do anything to myself now either through fear of what has happened.

confused: i don't know why she's gone, no-one that i've spoken to does, i even went round to see her dad and chat to him about ti to see if he knew or could shed some light onto the situation, neither him or his wife could understand why it'd happened as we had been so happy.

anyway, i'm trying to get on with my life, but it's hard, especially as the new bed that we'd ordered arrived yesterday.

i did a bad thing when she left. i was feeling so low that i went to tesco to see my mum and cried in the middle of the store, then i went to her dad's to check she'd got there ok, then i went to the wave to chat to my old boss who made me promise that i'd go to the doctor's, which i did next, she upped my dose on my anti-depressants and told me that i had to carry around the samaritans number with me at all times. after all that i told lizzy that i wanted all her stuff out of the flat that day, in retrospect i wish i hadn't because it was just another nail in the coffin, i even packed up most of it before she came round to do it. i needed it out, because to me it was just another reminder of what we had and at that point i didn't want any reminders, now i wish i hadn't because what we had was so much that i want to be reminded about it.

i feel stupid too.

i don't know who to turn to to talk about it with, but it helped to talk to her dad, it helped so much, he realised how much she means to me and how much i love her, but in the end he said there's not a lot he can do, me either, afterall, it's up to her and i know that if i make a point of contacting her too much it'll push her away even more and the thought of losing her all together scares me than anything else in the world...

anyway, take care peeps

It's been ages and people have complained, so I'm here

I'm not sure what's going on with my life at the moment, just when everything seems to be going ok it falls apart.

I've got a new job

I'm engaged to the lovely Lizzy

I'm on anti-depressents again

I'm tired all the time

And things seem to be going, not well, not badly, just going

that's about all I can say at the moment

last night i was having a bad night and i wanted to disappear, hurt myself or die, but i didn't, i thought that if i did that then things would be worse. i know i have a problem and i know that i need help, i'm just not sure where to go and what good it will do. remember i've been to councilling before, and it didn't work then so history tells me that it might not work this time either. the pills seem to help some of the time, but i seem to be a lot angrier since i started on them, adn the insomnia/tiredness seems to be related to them and stress. the new job's not stressful, but i've not recovered from the stress of the last one.

i seem to be losing touch of the people in my life that i love and that upsets me

i went to see WWE smackdown in march when it was in sheffield, sad i know, but oh so very cool and i know that you wish you'd been there too...in actual fact i'm going to see the raw roster in a couple of weeks, still owe R for the last lot, let alone this time, don't worry, i'll sort you out sometime, i'll not forget

i've missed writing this, i didn't realise how much it helped when i was doing it, i might see if i can start doing it a bit more often

i'll try anyway

be good peoples and take care, i'm going to try too

and there's more
i've heard back from warner village, they gave me 3 more free tickets, which was really helpful, although my comments have been passed to the centre manager, reading borough council and the fire service have not got back to me either, but from experience i know that if they have investigated it then they usually make a list of improvements which the come and check on after some time!
me, i'm fine, tired, and recovering from a nasty cold, i was coughing so hard the other day becaue of it i was sick, i phoned in sick for work and felt guilty about missing 1 day, felt like i was letting the team down, which is just silly...anyway i'm feeling better now which is good
the flat is going great, with the minor problem of the oven seems to cut out every now and again, but it might be something to do with the timer system on it, i would read the manual, if i had one that is... and the fridge is almost sorted, my sister's got one going spare that i can use for a while, provided i can get it from hers to mine, shouldn't be too hard i guess, just the 2 flights of stairs that i'll need to get it up
my birthday was good, except for the training bit, which wasn't bad, just not the best way to celebrate a birthday!
anyway, i'm sure i should have more news than this, but i can't think of any at the moment, so i'm going to bail on y'all

a continuation
so i went to the Warner Village website and put in a comment to them regarding the incident on the 8/11, they sent me the obligatory "thank you for your comments" email as an immediate response. I also went to the Reading Borough Council website and submitted a comment to them, they have responded by saying that my comments have been passed over to the Environmental Health Department, so at least something is happening.

in other news...
...i've got a cold that has got on my chest and seems to want to stay there for the moment, which is a bugger!
...the flat is fine, i'm getting used to the being alone factor
...it's my birthday tomorrow and ive got to go on a training day for work that i can't get out of...typical
...everything seems to be going well

"Can you say FIRE?"
right lets get down to business, the above relates to something that happened last night when roger, martin and myself went to the cinema with every intention of watching the new Matrix film. we'd got tickets, we'd got there early, we'd had a beer in a bar beforehand, everything was going well. the lights dimmed, the adverts started rolling and we settled ourselves in for the long haul as it were. everyone was quiet when the honda advert came on and we all watched it in silent awe as the various parts of the car did their thing...it's a very cool advert. during said advert the was a faint smell coming through the auditorium, a faint smoky, electrical smell, a faint smoky, electrical fire type of smell infact. some people had started to leave the auditorium as more and more people became aware that there was something not quite right, i had stood up with martin to see what the commotion was all about. still the adverts rolled. we watched in awe as some people left the cinema to find some staff to sort out what the problem was, but this time there was some smoke in the room, but no other visible signs of a fire. an attendant came in, climbed the stairs to the area that seemed to be where the problem was. he then wondered, in no obvious hurry, to get a fire extinguisher which he then discharged as a second member of staff turned up. it should also be noted that at this time the adverts were still rolling and there had been no actual detection of the fire apart from what people had seen, ie no fire alarm, no smoke detector, nothing. a third member of staff arrived, apparently this is because the projectionist had told him that there was something wrong, and called out to all the people in the screen that they should leave the building via the marked fire exit, and proceed to the front of the building and wait for him to give further instructions. we did this, still without any fire alarms being sounded. we, like many others, milled around out the front of the cinema, in the cold and without further instruction. some of the people had made their way back inside and back upstairs, unheeded, and still we waited. eventually we got cold and went back inside ourselves, and upstairs we went and then we milled around for a while. i decided that things were not good enough and went to hunt down the Duty Manager, who turned out to be the third member of staff that had come into the auditorium, he was busy dealing with the fire men at the time, but i was allowed to stand, unattended, and wait for him, by unattended i mean that if i had wanted to i could've walked back to the screen in question without anyone asking me anything. by this time there was a large crowd of fairly miffed people wanting to know what was going on, they were alleged to be in an orderly queue, but it was so obvious that few of the staff actually knew what they should be doing in this situation and fewer knew enough about what was going on to be able to provide us with any information as to what options we had. Finally when i got to speak to the DM i found that when ever i had something to say, he would interrupt me, a big failing in someone who is expected to be a manager, in fairness he was under enough stress without me quizzing him on the company and site policies and emergency action plans, with specific regards to fire and evacuation procedures and the training and testing that had taken place. he was flustered and kept interrupting me to say that he had made the decision to re-open the screen providing the fire brigade had cleared it to open...it was with this that he made a mistake by telling all the people waiting that he was going to re-open the screen and show the film, so that it would start 1 hour late, he did this without further consulting the firemen to check that it was safe to re-open. at this point we decided that, because i was on an early start at work this morning, we would rather take a refund and go and see it another day. we then had to queue for a while to get said refund, which instead we decided to take vouchers so that next time we could see it without having to pay.
now that's about the long and short of it, but considering we spent £17.70 on three tickets, £10.20 on popcorn and drinks and the like, £2 on parking, and the petrol to get there, we didn't see a film, and the only compensation that we got was three vouchers, that we can't use online or over the telephone to make a booking. there was no other offers of compensation, there wasn't even the offer of a free drink whilst we waited.
needless to say i am still not to impressed with the way that things were handled. but there are still a few things that i will be doing to try and get something sorted about the incident. Firstly there is this blog, i'm hoping that if you're reading it then you'll have a think about the procedures that are in place and the people that are there to look after you. Secondly, if anyone out there is going to the cinema, make sure that if you are going the WARNER VILLAGE at THE ORACLE in READING, ask them if there have been any changes in their fire and evacuation procedures as a result of the incident on SATURDAY 8th NOVEMBER. Finally, I shall be writing a series of letters to Reading Borough Council, Warner Village at the Oracle, The Fire Brigade in Reading and finally i'll be writing to the Warner Village main UK offices. I'm not after compensation, although some sort of gesture towards covering the costs that we incurred wouldn't go amiss, i'm doing this because if next week, or next month, there is a bigger fire there, i want to know that i've raised my points and grievances with the right people, in the hope that it will prevent a big fire there.

ok no that's off my chest...
i'm doing ok, not sleeping very well, work has been ok this week. Flogging Molly were amazing, saw them on wednesday for the second time this year, it was very cool. everythign seems to be going pretty well at the moment. couple of teething problems with the flat, but nothing major, which is good.

anyway, i think that's about enough from me for this week, i doubt i'll blog again until next sunday now, hopefully i won't have a major rant for you next time.

je suis tres tired
i only do a little bit of french so that'll do me for this week
it's true though i'm absolutely knackered at the moment, something to do with seeing kill bill pt1 last night and doing the early again this morning
it's been a funny old day at work, we threw out over £900 worth of frozen food, mainly because it wasn't frozen anymore, and the boss phoned in sick, then the other boss phoned in sick too, then the big boss phoned and i took his call whilst i was lifeguarding, not the cleverest thing to do, but it's not like he knew what i was doing and basically there was no-one there today...and i still couldn't be bothered to do anything
i've not done any packing for a few days either, i'm either going to do some tonight for a little while, ie before i fall asleep, or i'm just going to leave it all until friday when i've got to sort it all out and pack it all up because i move on the saturday
i've got a really nast taste in my mouth too...ate some raw onion today, it was in my sandwich, but seeing as i asked for a bacon sarnie with cheese and onions i assumed that i'd get a hot sarnie, but i got a cold one, with raw onion and cold precooked bacon...obviously i still ate it, but it's the principal of it
i've not had a shave for a while...must have one before tomorrow really
i'm off to watch tottenham play tomorrow, mentioned that yesterday, but i'm mentioning it again because it's cool...although spurs'll probably lose
i'm having troubles with my hotmail account at the moment again...it keeps telling me that "this server is too busy"...you'd think that one of the most popular sites in the world would sort out it's server problems...i mean what's the server too busy doing? do servers go fishing? do they have sideline jobs as cyber pimps? do they blog? do they think i have nothing better to do with my spare time that sit here complaining about them and not reading my email?
i think i'm going to just log off in a minute if i can't get my bloody emails and go to bed, it's not like i've got anything really important to do, honest

Tiny secret agent spy hamsters with giant guns and rockets packs
well it made me chuckle to myself
it's starting to hit me that i've only got a few days before i move out which means i've really got to do some more packing, except i still really can't be bothered at the moment! How bad is that?
going to see kill bill tonight hopefully
not much is happening in my life at the moment, it's all quiet on the western front, not to mention the eastern, northern and southern fronts as well...
going to see tottenham play west ham on wednesday, its a cup game apparently, not that i care, it's a football match and i've not been to one since i was 11, which seems like years ago...considering i'll be like 25 soon i guess it is years ago!
i've been granted my annual leave request for the 5th of november which means i can go and see Flogging Molly again...hint hint you know who you are!!!
and what's this i hear about a certain mr roger conversing with my lady about my birthday present?
"what should i get him, he's got everything?" her
"he has now he's got you" him
what's that all about??? that's what she told me anyway
only kidding
must go, going to try this packing jobbie again, but i'll probably end up doing something else. take care peoples

still...
...here
...bored
...alive
...moving in under a week
...hungry
...feeling a little low

i'm moving next saturday, so after a couple of blogs this week don't expect that many after then...certainly not anything regular like there has been in the past. i'm actually looking forward to it now...not excited yet, but looking forward to it. I think i've got everything redy for it, but i'll not know until i'm there and want to use something only to realise that i don't own one
got work later today, should be ok, better than yesterday anyway, unless the dodgy "new" receptionist phones in sick again, which she seems to have a habit of doing at the moment, either there;s something really wrong with her, or she's not big on being reliable, personally i think it's more of the latter, but i shouldn't doubt her so much, she might be really ill!
anyway yesterday at work, during the naturist session, one of the old blokes collapsed, ambulance was called, he didn't want to go with them and said he felt fine, needless to say he decided against going for a swim, but when it came to him leaving, he collapsed again, another ambulance was called, and again he decided against going with them, but at least this time he wasn't naked!
and we were short staffed yesterday too, which made it all good fun!
enough with the work type stuff...everyone has left me this weekend, all my mates are elsewhere so i've been bored as sin so far this weekend, my fault partially i guess, i should've given some other people a shout to see what they were up to, but i was working so i shouldn't have been socialising that much anyway.
i was very glad of the extra hour in bed this morning, and i made the most of it by rolling over and going back to sleep.
watched the rugby this morning, glad we won, disappointed in the general performance of the team, there were a lot of scrappy passes and the throw-in's were awful, still a couple of good trys and it was all good in the end.
i've still got loads to pack before i move, i just can't seem to get motivated to do it, everytime i think about doing some more i just can't be bothered.
Monsterous Regiment, the book i'm reading is superb and i'm liking it a lot, not sure where the stories going, but that's a good thing, i'm not a fan of really predictable storylines, obviously you can make a rough guess as to what happens in the end, but it's when you can guess what's going to happen in the next few chapters, that's when reading stops being fun
anyway, i'm going to hide and read some more of my book now that i've got it in my head...take care peoples

i'm losing sight of what it all means
i'm back again today because i'm bored and online...
i'm having on of those days today where i just can't seem to get myself up and with it, i know it's a bit late in the day to try and start getting up and with it, but i've been like it all day and it sucks, in fact i could feel it starting yesterday, i was feeling a little down yesterday for no readily apparent reason and today it just seems to have got worse. part of it might be that i know that there is going to be a lot of work coming my way, mainly because of the seminar that i was at today, part of it is that i always seem to get the work come my way. it would appear that i'm in line for a change in job title, so along with the titles of Duty Manager and SwimSchool Co-ordinator, i'm going to become the Site Health & Safety Co-ordinator, it doesn't mean that i get any more money of course, that'd be silly to pay me more just because they're changing my job role. i wish i knew why i was feeling low, but it just seems that i'm due a little down time, as it were. it's probably a combination of things:
the stress of moving, everyone knows that moving is one of the most stessful things that one can do;
the possibility of additional work, although i don't have a lot on workwise at the moment, i get the impression that this is going to add more work than i've got space for, thus leading me to neglect one of my other responsibilities;
i'm still ill, and having other things to worry about isn't going to help me get better, and finally;
trying to do too much, at work, at home, everywhere...it's not good.
i've changed my mind about my general feeling for the day from ambivalent to down.
i think that's about it for today
px
wow...that was good!!!
i'm not talking about anything dirty people...i am in fact referring to a "really interesting" seminar i attended today on Health & Safety, still as boring as it was, at least i didn't have to go to work in the normal sense of the word...

tenancy agreement arrived today, need to look through it at some point before tomorrow when i should go down and hand it in signed and with the balance on the account, which i mentioned yesterday was totalling £1441.13 which had better be in my account tomorrow seeing as i get paid at some point between now and when i get to the bank

everything else is ok, i'm tired, still not sleeping very well, i'm still not feeling very well either, but i really can't be bothered to see the doctor about it, it's nothing major after all. my teeth hurt, i think that i've got one cutting through, and it's not the most comfortable of things.

general feeling for the day is ambivalent

so much to do, so little time to do it
it's like 10 days until i move
and it's like 3 weeks until my birthday
and i'm feeling really ill to go with it
i was thinking of phoning in sick today, i've not done it yet, i've managed to struggle through, and i know that i'll do the same today, it's only 5 hours today.

i should get my tenancy agreement in the post tomorrow, i had the notification of costs today, a total £1441.13 is still needed, but at least i know that i'm now due to meet the check-in clerk on the day to get all the keys and the like, which is cool. i'm still not getting really excited, but i'm looking forward to it

didn't sleep very well last night, seemed like i was in bed for ages, everytime i looked at my clock it was like 20 minutes since i'd last looked, everytime i wanted to roll over i woke myself up, which just sucked, anyway i slept in until about an hour ago, and now i'm up and doing nothing before i go to work

i forgot to mention that i went to see The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen on monday, went to wantage because it was cheaper and easier to get to and there was only about 14 people in the cinema. it's a good film, not believable in the slightest, but very good none-the-less, well i enjoyed it, but that's not saying much! i thought it was funny in places where i don't think other people got the joke, but again that's just me!

knocking on kevin's door
i think G'n'R would've had more success if this was the title, but i guess they'd have to find a kevin then...they could always have used kevin from roland rat fame, i think he was a gerbil, errol was a hamster with a really thick welsh accent and a thing for leeks and i've got this feeling that there was someone else, but i can't think who...if you know, tell me!

getting some more paperwork in the post tomorrow about the flat, the bloke phoned me this morning about it...i started packing yesterday, i successfully packed up 4 boxes, mostly with cds, tapes, videos and dvds, and that's not including the ones that i have in racks and holders and what not!!! i did the really clever thing of packing the case to a cd i was listening too, better than that, it's at the bottom of the box!!! also did he really clumsy thing of knocking a near full can of coke into a box that i had filled over half full with cd's...how clever was that!!!

did some shopping yesterday, got some of the more essential things, iron, ironing board and the like, i spent about £120 in argos getting it all and i had to make 3 trips from the shop to the car to put it all away, and unfortunately i was parked on the 2 floor and on the wrong side of the car park, still it'll get me fit...if i was doing it everyday and not using the lift all the time!

i'm not feeling very excited yet, but i am looking forward to it, come thursday next week i won't be able to sleep through excitement, it's like going on holiday and not having to worry about coming back, but it does mean that i've got a lot of things to sort out and take with me...speaking of which i've got a day off again today so i should crack on...

12 days to go and counting
must quickly thank alison for correcting the quote...thank you alison! i wasn't far off

finally started reading the new Terry Pratchett book, Monsterous Regiment, last night after finishing Valhalla the other day...first impressions...it's terry pratchett, definately pratchett material, i've not read enough to give it a full evaluation yet, probably won't give it a full evaluation until i've finished it, hopefully i'll have finished it before i move.

it's my day off today, but i'm not doing anything constructive with it at the moment, might pop into argos and get a few of the things i need to get before i move, seems like a good idea...but i might not bother doing that either...might even start packing, i've been talking about it for ages, but not done anything about it yet!

anyway, i guess i should do something...take care peoples

all systems are go
we have a green light
the move is on
1/11/03

i had an email confirming everything is ok to go ahead with the move so i'm going to maybe start packing this week, but you know me, i doubt it'll happen, but i really should start getting things organised

i did go out in the end last night, to the cinema, and i'm glad i did because i went to see Finding Nemo, and i loved it! it was a corking film. it was really busy too so i did the sneaky thing of going into the cinema to check times and availability then standing outside to book tickets using my phone because the ticket hall bit was packed and there was a huge queue...it's not really cheating, but it was a hell of a lot quicker than standing in the queue to get a ticket, then having to stand in another queue to get into the screen...but we got pretty good seats in the middle of the auditorium (?) and everything was cool

not really got much to say now, there was something that i wanted to go on about, but i can't for the life of me remember what it was

if you go to see finding nemo, watch the credits, mike from monsters inc can be seen swimming across the screen at the end, just so you know ;)

anyway, take care peoples

Mother is the word for god on the lips and hearts of all children
knowing me i've got that quote wrong, but it's cool none-the-less, if anyone can correct it, let me know and I'll re-edit it so it's right...that is assuming you know where it came from in the first place and seeing as i haven't told you, you'll have to either guess or work it out!

it's from a film

my poor woody is getting irritating, he went to the vet's today to have the dressing removed, but he's doing all the things he's not allowed to do, things like jumping up onto the chairs in the kitchen, he shouldn't be jumping at the moment and i've told him that i'll laugh at him if his stitches burst, but he just won't listen...

one of my favourite films

on the home front things have been fairly quiet...apart from the dog... been feeling very tired and not very well for a few days, i've put the former down to suffering from the latter, seemed like a good idea to me...

a man died in the film

i'm in a not really bothered type of mood today, in other words i can't be arsed with doing anything...i'm supposed to be going out tonight, but i don't really feel like it, i just wanna sit in and watch telly and just chill basically...i'll probably end up going out for a while though, don't want to go out for long if i do go out though...

it's a dark comicbook film

right i'm going to have a look at a last few websites...argos mainly...to see if there is anything else i can get or need for my move

take care peoples

my poor woody
woody is the name of my dog before anyone gets the wrong impression! i know what you're all like and i know what you were thinking!!!
and it's poor woody day because he had his bit's lopped off yesterday, no longer should he be shagging legs, cushions, bags or anything else he can lock his little legs around and start pumping against. he's walking a little funny this morning, and he's not allowed to jump up at anyone or anything like that which is good. he was very quiet when i came in last night, he just sort of laid there looking pityful and ridiculous with his tail curled between his legs covering what wasn't there anymore.
i'm still not feeling great, but better than yesterday, my throat is still really sore, but at least i don't ache like i did yesterday and although my head is still a little fuzzy, it's clearer than it was last night.
I got one of the girls at work to go to the shop last night and get me some soup, she got me chicken soup and although i'm not a big soup fan i really enjoyed it and i felt better for it, it was about the most i'd eaten all day though so that might have something to do with it too...bizarre chicken soup and tlc is the remedy for everything!
dad's got the things down from in the garage that i took to uni, pots and pans and that sort of thing so we're having a look at those this morning, anything that i don't want the bin is having.
anyway, that's about all for today, take care peoples

"bullets and bombs might break his bones or even vapourise him completely, but vern could do him a nasty injury"
taken from Valhalla by Tom Holt

that's what i've been reading at the moment, reading it like mad because i've got the new terry pratchett book sitting on my desk glaring at me, darig me to start reading it before i finish the book i'm on

things are going fairly well at the moment, although i'm feeling fuff as ruck, i think i'm coming down with a cold...throat's very sore, feeling cold and i ache all over...still not calling in sick though because if i call in sick there's no-one to cover me, might have to call it in tomorrow though if i don't get better today

other than that, like i said, things are going well, looked in the argos book last night for the essentials and i've picked out a few things that i'll need that are reasonably priced, migt start getting them at the weekend, but might be better to leave some of it until after i've made the move, that way i won't have to move it twice

take care peoples
