The Grinch is alive and well…

Not really been upto much this week, apart from winding down ready for my holidays. John was off gigging it in Manchester wednesday and thursday, so I didnt go to the gym, and cos it was so fricking cold outside, I decided to tuck into the beer I bought a few days ago, whilst hitting the xbox :D

So anyway, work has been a case of winding down for me atleast, that is until Friday!! Has to go down as one of the craziest days for a long time. What started with Maddsy thinking next week will be a quiet one, with no me or Geoffrey has now turned into one hell of a busy week :lol: Anyway he was getting more and more stressed as the day went on, when Geoffrey was getting more orders, and quoting delivery as week 2 :lol: Maddsy moaned to Mark that me and Geoffrey had done bugger all for the whole of December, then on the day we both break up for our holidays, we decided to give him a nice headache of how to fit all this work in. Plus the added fact that some of them were printed jobs, which meant Crit needed to print them this week before they broke up!

After all the fun at work, I decided to get myself home, and wind down big style. It was all going well, I was on the xbox, and having a bit of a surf on the World Wide Web, until I got this knock at the door, and this bespectacled lad barged past me, and said “I need a piss Wiggy” It took me a few seconds to get my bearings, and once he’d got to the top of the step, and I was still in the doorway looking out, I saw Johns car parked there, with Caz waving at me from the passenger seat :lol: Turns out they’d been to JTF, and John was bursting, and saying “I hope Wiggy is in… I really do” :lol: It was one of them moments I aint gonna forget in a hurry, due to its bizarreness. Had a quick chat with Caz, and found out she was out Sat night on her work do, so said I was gonna drive down for Tibbzys birthday, and there would always be a seat free for her :D So she thanked me, and they made their way to their next destination. The rest of the night was spent having a few beers, and watching some random stuff on telly :D

Saturday morning came, and I was up earlyish, cos Lee was coming round so we could nip to Mcarthur Glen and pick up a new shirt and jumper for the saturday night, and Tibbzys birthday. Had a mozey on round the shops looking for some new shoes, and saw some nice ones, but I was hoping to find some white shoes. Went into Baronjon, and laughed at John for a bit, and ended up buying this really nice whiet shirt with thin black stripes, and 2 more Peter Werth jumpers same as the grey one I bought, but in a dark blue/violet colour, and a cream one. Lee bought some new shoes, so that made me want to buy the pair i’d seen earlier. They are really nice, and were knocked down to £45 from £90 so I aint complaining. We made a quick get-away after that, cos Lee’s dad was trying to fix his motor for him, and Lee didnt want him kicking off for him being away so long whilst he was doing him a favour.

Lee dropped me off home, and I decided to nip round to the coffee shop to see my mum, and hopefully our Owen. Laura Daunt was round at the coffee shop with her newborn Micha (think thats the spelling) and my mums mate Sue was beaming. She’s joined the grandma’s club :lol: Wasn’t long and our Hev had come down after having her haircut, and then Stef made an appearance wanting some money off my mother. Left there, and headed up to my mums, whilst my mother waited in the village for Sarah to bring Owen to her, and I made myself at home, and made myself a drink like normal hahaha! Didnt stay too long, as I wanted to get home, so I could have a bath and things before the Newcastle game, which was the evening kick off on Setanta. Arranged with Vicky to pick her up, and drop her off, as her mate had cancelled on her, and I was gonna leave not long after that to go and get Lee anyway.

Our Hev after her haircut… Bionic arm Stef… Story time with Owen

Watched the Newcastle match, and it was a dire affair, altho I think we maybe shaded it for our efforts in the first 10 minutes, when we forced the issue. Was a defo penalty, and Joey Barton tucked it away for our first away win since the opening day of the season, and our first clean sheet in god knows how long :shock:

Finished off getting ready, and then made my way over to Vickys house. Dropped her off, after parking up waiting for Smithy, and having a nice chat, and then made my way over to Ravenshead to pick up Mr Kirk. I was accused by Barbara of using their house as a toilet stop :lol: Pretty much the same way John had :oops: Parked up in the usual spot, and then made our way to the top Wetherspoons to meet Maddsy, Vicky, Tibbzy, Kerry, Smithy and some other randoms. Wasn’t long before we were on the move over to Cheeky Monkeys, and thats where the night took a bit of a turn. I shall not go into it on here tho. Went into Romans after that, and bumped into an old team mate from last season, Chris Bray, and then from there, we stood outside freezing our knackers off, before we decided to go over to Marthas. Seemed to take an age to get served in there, and Smithy being the first to the bar, was the last one to come back with a drink :lol: stayed in there for a bit, and then we made our way over to Liquid. Before we left Marthas I bumped into Jade Sisson, someone i’d not seen in a long time, so we had a brief hello, how are you chat, and then it was onwards to Liquid.

Tibbzy after a few Cheeky Monkey shots… Dumb and Dumber, they can fight out who is who… Smithy and Vicky
Ryan and his good lady… Me and Vicky… Olly and Widdo
Tibbzy, his missus Kerry and their mates… Me looking a little special… Me directing traffic once again

Was free to get in again, and just as we were walking past Chicago, I heard someone shouting me, and it was Carl Ashley and Daz Peppard! Some more people I hadn’t seen in a long time either. Was turning out to be a night of bumping into old friends :lol: As we were queuing for Liquid, Caz and her mates rudely raced past us, and even tho I shouted her, she ignore me!! How rude! Specially as I was her taxi home :lol: She soon turned round and gave me a cuddle, and then went and rejoined her mates in the queue. Was great in liquid and busted a few shapes and that, before heading out the door. I had text Caz and said I’ll meet you and Sarah outside in 2 minutes, as Sarah needed a lift home too. Was stood outside Chicago for about 10 minutes until Caz popped her head out the door :lol: She took it as 2 minutes from reading the text! WOMEN!!! Caz had the remote for the stereo on the way home, and had a laugh with the pair of them. Quite enjoy having chats with Caz. We end up chatting about alsorts of random shit. Got home and uploaded the photos I’d taken, and went to bed.

Me looking a little bemused… Two random lasses…  Me in the dancing “zone” :lol:

Got up Sunday after a nice lie in, and headed over to my mum and dads for dinner. My mum had decided to take our Stef to McArthur Glen in the afternoon and let him go round the shops, to see how much the clothes actually cost, and whilst they did that I chilled, not feeling too well, watching the Grand Slam Sunday. Both games were feisty to say the least, altho I found myself asleep for the second half of the Liverpool vs Man Utd game. I told my dad that both United and Arsenal would win! Wish I’d had a bet on it now! Bionic man was busy trying some of his new clothes on, and he’d bought on top that said XL, but it was loads smaller than the other XL’s he’d bought, so I tried it on, and it fitted, so ended up buying it! I dont even have to go shopping to spend money :lol: Got home, and chilled for the the rest of the night. Was due to go to the pub with Lee and some others, but didnt feel upto it, so stayed in with a few brews, random American football on the telly, when you could hardly see anything due to the blizzard they were playing in, and chatting to a few folks on msn.

Was up bout 8.30ish Monday morning, and ready for the day ahead :lol: Went and put some petrol in the motor, and then made my way over to Lizzies. Followed her over to Burge’s where I handed my car keys over, and then we made our way over to McArthur Glen for Starbucks and a general wander round. Bought a new shirt and a few dvd’s including the American Pie box set, with the new Beta House which was recommended to me by a friend ;) Got home, and watched Taxi 3, I remembered watching the first 2, and altho they’re in french, they’re subtitled in English, and I LOVE the Pug thats in it :D also watched American Pie Beta House, which I thought was quality, and then it was time to go and check out my car. When we got to Burge’s I was fair impressed with what it had gone from to what it had become :D Altho it didnt take long before it was mud splattered again :oops: Had a good session on the chest in the gym, and spent the rest of monday night chilling in front of the telly, and chatting to folks again.

One or two pics Burge took once he’d finished

Had to take some money to the bank first thing tuesday morning, so got up and made my way into town for 9.30, and thought as I was out and about I’d go work up a sweat in the gym on the treadmill and a few other cardio things, and also did a set of stomach exercises. Was nice and quiet in there so just took my time and sat watching music videos for a bit :D Nipped home, and picked up my cheque book, and then made my way over to my mum and dads, hoping our Stef was in or something, but he’d gone out, and left the telly on *rollseyes* Not long later, and I was over at the hairdressers having my hair trimmed, and highlights done. Enjoy going to the hairdressers, but I was shattered and almost fell asleep whilst Laura was washing my hair after :oops: hehe. Had an SOS call from work, cos with them all being complete retards, they couldnt get some artwork printing properly. So once I’d left the hairdressers I made my way to work, and within ha;f an hour I’d sorted it *rollseyes* Exactly how I told someone to do it on the phone ;) Also it turns out I’m not allowed to wear old t-shirt to have my haircut, cos they’re a bit tight, and we dont want people thinking i’m trying to impress anyone when I nip into work or anything. So think i’ll wear jumpers to work from now on :lol:

Got home and lost an hour on Forza 2, before having myself some tea, and then headed over to the gym for another weights session. Then I got home, and chatted to an old friend who added me on msn. Lost complete track of the time, and it turned out that we’d been chatting for hours, and it was just gone 3am! Which is quite late for an old timer like myself :lol:
