*Yawn*
OK, been ages since I updated this, and loads of stuff has happened, so it's gonna be a long one (oh yes!)

So yes, I can't vouch for chronology of any of this cos I'm not good at remembering and stuff... but yes, I'll start from about March or so, I think that's where I'd gotten up to when I bothered to update it last...

So yes, moved in to my late grandma's house with my sister (cheap rent! yay!) had loads of problems with the painter guy who was an arse and couldn't be bothered to do a proper job and charged us about 3 times as much as he quoted, so that was fun, anyway, we got moved in and stuff and it was all happy, and not a great deal happened for a while other than life in general. Oh, I was doing the odd trip up to Durham to see the bird... but then came to my senses and realised I had to dump her, so did. Then there was Kat and Jon's wedding, which was a really good do the ceremony was all sweet and nice and they both looked really happy and stuff, then the reception was cool, Ceildh thing (if that's spelt right) so lots of spinning around and drunken hilarity and yes, it was all good :)

So, summer came along, errr, it kinda started off with the annual durge purge thing... photos on my site... it was rather drunken and good fun... went kinda wrong and weird at one point, but hey, it was a great weekend and fun was had by all (I think!?!)

Err, at some point I graded at jujitsu and went from Red belt to White belt... competition coming up in a couple of weeks, and another grading in October, so all being well I'll be yellow soon! :>

Um, then I ended up at two 21st birthday parties a week after each other, the first was Hannah's over in Bradford and that was fun, 2 for 1 cocktails for a bit, then student bar prices, fun natterings and stuff... good company and good alcohol... can't say fairer than that! The second was Laura's down in Lincoln somewhere, got very drunk and made a prat of myself trying to play pool :P but yeah, that was a fun do, loads of people there and stuff. And was late to get home to meet my god father and the arch deacon who had been at my parents place for a meal, all very rah like and "intellegent conversaion" stuff *yawn*

I went to durham to watch cricket at one point aswell, and that got washed out by rain, but the tickets were free so it wasn't too much of a pisser... And we ended up going to a barbeque later on which was cool too...

By this stage it was getting towards August... it started off with the crappy news that the two weeks off work I had booked to start on my birthday for two weeks wasn't going to happen cos we got a new lucrative contract at work, so I had to do that (and was supposed to be there for two weeks... I've been there for 5 now and starting week #6 tomorrow, dunno how long that's gonna last, but it's great for Oraplus! So the weekend of my birthday I did the usual meal at parents and stuff, then the weekend after Matt, Rich and Charlie came up for a do, which was very drunken and rich did all my housework, so that was cool :) Weekend after then Dean and Andy came to Blackburn and we had a laugh and got mashed, then I had a weekend off! *shocker* I think the next weekend I went down to London to stay with Jon and Kat, and went over to Ben's to see Ben, Alex and Ben's brother Mark and had a meal which was nice duck and cool bread sauce :) and I got confused by Ben's corkscrew. Oh, and there was a thursday sometime around then when I went into Manchester to meet Trev, Ian and Jess and ended up staying at Jess' flat... she is a woman and has "pet" cocroaches and stick insects... COOL :>

(notice how details are getting more indepth now I've got to more recent times? :P)

So yes, then this weekend I went down to Leamington to meet up with Tim, Stu and Jess and we went to a beer festival and then finished it off with an early morning vigil of whisky and crisps... mmmmn nice whisky... managed to get over the hangover this morning and set off home at about 3.45 got home about an hour ago.

So yes, there you go... what's going to happen next? Um, I dunno, work for a couple of weeks, hopefully get some time off in October, Also Nick is coming over to give me an annual review at some point around then so that'll be cool... I'm planning a grand UK tour to go and see people during my two weeks off in October, that's gonna be great fun :)

Anyway, I'll shutup now, can't think of anything else to write and feeling proud that I've updated this thing for once... That'll prolly be it for another 6 months, but hey, there you go :)

ciao.
