It's going to go so quickly, but I'll try to get…

Happy birthday to me

Posted inBooks, ReflectionsNo Comments
Another year, eh? I'm blessed. Levelled up to 33. Ridiculous. You know how I always say I don't feel a day over 25? This time I really mean it. Whilst I'm still not in the best shape of my life, I'm not a horrible mass of blubber. Still a work in progress, I'm getting there. As for presents, Jane and…
Pre-holiday bonus

Pre-holiday bonus

Posted inFilms/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments
Work is a bit odd at the moment. Loads of people are leaving or possibly getting sacked - I'm glad I can get away from it for a week to be honest. We're going to Dawlish next week, with Jane's Mum and Dad. Should be interesting. Anyway, as a pre-holiday bonus, I went to see Mum, David and Jasmine today.…

I am happy

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
I am. Mum sent me a text message after we went to see her last weekend and in it she said I seemed very happy. I am very happy at the moment, very content with my life and the direction it is taking. My relationship with Jane is the best it has ever been, we're getting on great. My work…

Great weekend

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
It was great. On Saturday, Jane and I went shopping in Portsmouth, we went for lunch at Jamie Oliver's Italian, I bought 4 new polo shirts (£80!!) and I finally put my "propose to her at the top of the Spinnaker Tower" plan into action. By the way, the food was amazing, the shirts will no doubt soon not fit…

Happy Birthday to me

Posted inBooks, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments
I am now 32 years old, and I'm sure I say this every year, but I don't feel a day older than 25. My loved ones got me some smashing gifts. Jane got me Fable III, which, due to me working, she has played more than I have. Mum got me the new Rangers shirt, it's so nice, and a…

Fucking snow

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
Well, that was a massive disappointment. Due to the snow I've not been able to get over to see Mum - that's twice in a year those little frozen fuckers have ruined a trip to see my family. I want to see how Jasmine is getting on, talk to my brother about things and I was looking forward to opening…

If I won the Lottery…

I was thinking the other night, and came up with all these ideas. I'd pay off Jane's part of the mortgage, and everyone else's, for that matter (if I won enough), I'd pay off Mum's mortgage and give her some money to do the house up, buy a modest little place for David, Katie and Jasmine so they wouldn't have…

Mum’s birthday weekend

Posted inFilms/TV, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments
I spent this weekend over in Southampton, as it is my Mum's birthday today. I went over yesterday and got back a few hours ago, I had a lovely time catching up with Mum, and it was great to see my bro and Jasmine after so long. She's really growing up, walking by herself now, and almost talking coherently (she…

Steel Battalion. You know, the one that came with the huge controller designed specifically for the game. So huge you had to assemble it yourself with an allan key. The huge controller with 40 buttons (all of which lit up as they had LEDs underneath them), two full size sticks, a gear stick with light-up gear indicators, several switches, a…
