I've Finally Done It!

Hello there everyone

Yes i know i haven't blogged for two weeks but i have a very good reason, you see i had some time off over Easter (which you will read about in a minute) and because of that i would have had one fairly long blog and one really short one, so i decided to stuff it and wait to type just one really long blog in it's place!

So i have to go back to Monday17th work was fairly quiet. Peter was on holiday a couple of people were out but i had enough to keep me going for the day. In my lunch hour i walked up into town as Kieron wanted me to look for a book for him, unfortunately it wasn't out in paperback so he didn't have it.

That evening me and Kieron sat and watched tv, including Moonlight which is brilliant. We also a bit peckish so we went to Sainsbury's and got some Bailey's Hagen Daaz -Yummy!

Tuesday work was a bit busier, i did some filling and sorted out general things. Tuesday evening Kieron played on his Playstation so i went and played on my organ for a little while before watching some tv.

Wednesday and my last day at work as i was having a couple of days off. I just tidied up and finished off bits and pieces so that i would be nice and clear for when i got back. I also purchased my very own camcorder which i've wanted for years. Paul (at work) had one (well it was actually his partner's) which he didn't want anymore. It was a couple of years old but it had only been used once. It's a Sony with a screen, came in its original box and all the stuff (including a remote control and ight vision mode!) and he sold it to me for £65 - Bargain!

Wednesday evening me and Kieron met up with Rosey, Dan and Emily at the Reservoir. Sadly Jim wasn't with us as he had finished work late and was very tired. We had a nice chat and caught up with everything that had happened. We stayed a couple of hours before heading off home.

Thursday was a great day, the start of mine and Kieron's 6 day weekend! We had alot to do so we were up nice and early at 7am! We sorted out a load of junk that we could get rid of to make some room. We got rid of old clothes, boxes etc we sorted out things we could take to the charity shop and we also had a number of electrical goods we didn't need or used, we had a: small hi-fi, a portable tv, a dvd player, my old keyboard and Kieorn's Alwa super-duper stereo.

So we loaded everything into the car to start doing our rounds. First we dropped off some stuff at Sainsbury's recycling centre, then into Kings Heath to drop off the charity stuff and then round the corner to Cash Converters to get rid of the electrical things. However they don't open until 10am so we went back round the corner to Homebase to pick up the paint for our bedroom. We chose the colours, which were two shades of purple, and got someone to mix them for us.

By the time we had got our paint and brushes it was 10.10am, so back in the car round to Cash Converters (again!). We had to park a long way from the shop so we decided to ask someone to come and give us a hand with it all (especially as Kieron's stereo weighted a tonne!). So we went into the shop and there was a bit of a queue. So we waited, and waited and waited and after about half an hour we were still waiting, but i had noticed there was a space nearer to the entrance, so i ran off (leaving Kieron to wait in the queue) to grab the car. When i got back some tosspot in a Honda was trying to get into my space (which was only just about big enough for my Fiesta) so i watched him for a bit struggling and as he moved back out to try and reverse into it - i very quickly pulled in (i wasn't parked brilliantly but i didn't care).

I got abuse hurled at me from the Honda driver but i couldn't be bothered so walked back into the shop, by which time Kieron had just been called over - YIPPEE!

The bloke came out to the car and started giving us a hand with the all the stuff he said they would gladly take. After negotiating for a bit we got our price and walked away with £100.

So over we went to Argos in Shirley, we were putting some money together to get some new wardrobes for our bedroom and we were also going to have a look for a settee for the living room. We had already chosen the wardrobes we wanted from Argos so we just had to pay for them. We then had to fill in a form with our delivery details and then wait for a phone call in the next couple of weeks to arrange a delivery date.

After sorting out Argos we walked around all the furniture shops for a leather couch. After a good hour of being ambushed by sales people and not finding anything we liked we decided to go over to DFS in town.

The traffic was busy, but thanks to Kieron and his little short cuts, we cut round the traffic and got there in no time. We looked round and round and again there was absolutely nothing we wanted. So we decided we would give it a few months and come back and have another look at a later date.


By this time we were starving and we had to go over to Wilkinsons in Northfield so we grabbed food on the way. In Wilkinsons we brought some new pillows, duvet sets and new curtains all for the bedroom.

By the time we got home it was nearly 5pm! We had a rest and chilled out before Kieron phoned Steve to see what they were doing.

When we got round there Natalie was waiting for her sister Heather, it was Heather's birthday and Natalie was going round to her house. Heather arrived and sat and had a chat. Just before Heather and Natalie left, Heather invited me to come round as well so i left Kieron with Steve and i followed Heather in my car.

When we were round there we watched Hairspray on dvd, and then had a "Do You Remember the 90's?" evening, where we were singing and dancing to all the old classics!

Friday we were up fairly early again, grandad came round to put up our new curtain rail whilst me and Kieron started painting. Grandad was there about an hour, so when he finished he left us to it and went back home.

We painted all morning and all afternoon, but thankfully we got it all done. We were really knackered after doing it so we sat down and had something to eat and then tidied up.

A bit later Steve and Natalie invited us round as they were bored and hadn't got anything to do. I took my camcorder round with me, as Natalie had been asking about, and we sat and messed about with it.

We were all having a laugh, Kieron and Steve decided they could make the next Blair Witch Project. We left at around 11pm as we were all tired.

Saturday was a busy day i got up and caught up with Eastenders before getting my Aunty Gill's and Uncle Alf's golden wedding anniversary present. I brought a little bottle of chanpagne and a box of chocolates.


I went down to mum's as usual for about 1.30pm and we waited for nan and grandad to arrive. Gareth decided to stay at home so me and mum went with nan and grandad down to Gill and Alf's. We had a nice chat before Aunty Gill started handing out the champagne and cake. It seemed never ending and before too long Aunty Gill was a little bit hammered!

We stayed there for a couple of hours before going back home. When i got in, me and Kieron decided to go and do our shopping as Sainsbury's would be closed on Easter Sunday. We came back and unpacked the shopping and put some tea on as we were starving. After that we watched The Day After Tomorrow, which was on tv and then went to bed.

Easter Sunday was a nice day, we did a bit of tidying up around the flat and had some dinner. In the afternoon mum came round to see the bedroom and the new bedroom layout. She had a glass of wine with us and we had a nice chat and by the time she left it was time for me to go down to nans for my tea as usual.

Bank Holiday Monday was another good day, me and Kieron did some touching up with the paint as there were bits we had missed. After we had done that we went round to see Kieron's mum and dad and we had dinner with them.

We stayed there just over an hour and then went back home. In the evening we went back round to Steve and Natalie's where we played some board games. We started off with Hero Quest because Steve really wanted to play it! (I'm sure my brother had this game). Steve was the evil wizard called Bob, Kieron was the Elf called Wankstain, i was the Barbarian known as Ug-Ug and Natalie was the Dwarf with a few identity problems as he was called Princess.

We played the first level with great difficulty, Natalie hadn't got clue what to do so she just moved her piece round the boad opening the doors, Kieron fought the creatures Natalie had released and i was Kieron's bodyguard as i was the strongest charater.

When we had finished the level we packed it away as we got a bit bored. So with that gone we decided to play Twister. We played Twister for ages as it was so funny. After a good couple of hours playing we decided to have a rest as we were all aching.

We sat and a chat for a bit before me and Kieron went home.

Tuesday was our last day off, so we tried not to do too much. Kieron played on his Playstation and i finished the last Harry Potter book which i had been reading on and off. During the course of the day me and Kieron cleaned the bathroom and scrubbed the tiles as they were filthy!

Later on we watched some tv before going to bed.

Wednesday and it was back to work, it was a struggle to get out of bed! Luckily for me there weren't too many people in the office so it gave me chance to catch up on everything.

The day went by fairly quickly and i was glad to get out at 5:30pm. I got home and changed and me and Kieron decided to have a chippy.

For the rest of the evening we watched tv, including some of Most Haunted Live, which was very spooky and i could hardly sleep!

Thursday work was back to normal, everyone running round the office and i was fairly busy. The again went by quickly so it was good to get home.

I got home and had some tea before Kieron's mum and dad came up for a bit. I had found some apartments for them in Tenerife as that's where they're planning their holiday this year. Tony has also got a new car. As he and Maria are both registered disabled he gets a disability car. Its a brand new Vauxhall Zafira and its really nice, the interior is laid out very well and its got loads of room.

Whilst they were there, my brother came up to show me his new skiing glasses and goggles he had brought. I'm not going skiing this year due to things being done in the flat but i'm not too bothered.

Tony and Maria left and Gaz stayed another half hour before going to the Packhorse. I watched tv whilst Kieron was downloading some episodes of Moonlight and Smallville. A bit later dad came up to say goodbye before going off to Austria skiing. I carried on watching some tv before going to bed.

Friday and work had slowed down a bit which allowed me to to do some filling, which desperately needed doing! The day was a nice calm day and i enjoyed my day at work.

Friday evening me and Kieron shared a bottle of wine and we watched some of the downloaded episodes of Moonlight. We had a pleasant evening watching Moonlight and drinking our wine before going to bed at 1am.

Saturday was a nervous day. I got up and had a shower before going down to the hairdressers, i've had it cut short again, but this time i've had no spikes but i have had a few blonde highlights (i know what you're thinking but its not blonde, blonde, just a subtle blonde!)

After i had my hair done and feeling great i went back home, picked up Kieron and went over to Steve and Natalie's as me and Natalie were going to get our tattoos done!!!

I wasn't feeling too bad about it just apprehensive about what it would feel like. We walked the corner into cotteridge and went into the tattooist's. I showed him the picture of what i wanted and he said it would be £60 which was great as i thought it would be about £80. Natalie found a design on the wall which she wanted on the back of her neck.

I was called in, they placed the stencil on my back to see how it looked and then they started. To be honest its not like a true pain it's just irritable really. It took over an hour to do mainly because of its size and the colouring in.

Half-way through my tattoo another tattooist started Natalie's, her's was smaller and less detailed than mine so it only took 30 mins.

It was finally complete and i couldn't believe it. After 5 years of wanting one, i finally did it!!!!

Me and Natalie were starving by this point so we went into the chippy and then walked back to Natalie's. When i got back Kieron was really happy for me, he thought i would have wimped out and when he saw it, he loved it which made em feel even happier!

I left everyone to it and went down to see my mum, nan and grandad for a bit as usual. After nan and grandad had gone i showed mum my tatto and to my surprise she loved it aswell!

I gave it a clean and put the bandage back on it and then went abck over to Steve and Natalies. Me and Kieron stayed until 6pm and then decided to go home. It had been a long day for everyone so we wanted to chill out and watch some more Smallville.

Sunday was a relaxing day, me and Kieron did some tidying up and then Kieron played on his Playstation for abit before we headed out to see mum as we were having Sunday dinner with her.

We got to mums for about 1pm and had a glass of wine before she served up. We had roast lamb (my favourite) with all the veg and gravy.

After dinner we had a little chat (with some more wine) and had ice cream for dessert. Me and Kieron stayed until about 3.30pm and decided to go back home.

In the evening i went down to see nan as usual, but it was only me and her this week as Gaz and dad were in Austria .


Well i think that just about somes it all up for me so cheerio!!

Take A Chill Pill

Hello there everyone and welcome back to my weekly update.

So it all begins last Monday (as usual) Peter was back on holiday for a few days and all hell broke loose, so many problems to deal with but fortunately we got through it.

I got back home ready to collapse. Kieron showed me how to make his version of spag bol (he's so fussy!!!) and then i sat down and read some of my Harry Potter book.

Tuesday was a bad day. I had woken up with a terrible head cold and nasty sore throat. I also had so many people at work doing so many stupid things that i lost my temper. People were leaving the office without telling me where and what they would return, Clients were turning up for meetings i had no idea about. Meetings that i thought were happening had been cancelled without me knowing and it went on and on so i lost it - big time!

I sent round a very sharp and nasty email informing everyone of what was going on and to my delight everyone jumped to my attention (that's more like it!).

A lit bit later after sorting that the rabble upstairs i was informed i was needed over at Armstrong Burton's offices, for some reason i was unaware of.

Once i arrived Janet told me that they needed some help with admin stuff as they were hectic. It was ok being over there but i wanted to get back to PD as i knew there would be things for me to do there aswell.

It was coming up to lunchtime and Harley our I.T guy was going over to PD so i hitched a ride with him. Thankfully when i got back things weren't too bad although i hardly got time to eat my sandwich!!!!

I was so glad that the day was over and practically ran towards town for my bus. That evening i just watched tv and relaxed.

Wednesday my cold got a bit worse and it was still busy at work. Peter was back in the afternoon so i went over a few things with him that he needed to know and it gradually got calmer. I did some filling in the afternoon which soon whisked the day away.

Wednesday evening i carried on reading Harry Potter, Kieron had an early night from his xbox and he came and joined me to watch Torchwood and Gordon Ramsay.

Thursday work had slowed down to a nice casual pace. I had some minutes to type up and the day went by without too many hiccups.

Thursday evening i did a spot of tyding up before having my tea and watching some tv. Kieron had found a new tv programme on Sci-Fi called Moonlight its a cross between CSI and Blade - its very good so there's another programme to add to our regular list of programmes.

Friday and thankfully my cold had almost gone. It was also a really good day at work, most people were out or on holiday and it only left a couple of us in the office, there was a nice chilled out atmosphere which is always good on a Friday. The day still went by fairly quickly and was glad that it was all over at 5pm.

When i got home Kieron had started abother spag bol so i went round the corner and got a bottle of wine. We watched bits of tv for most of evening and ended up watching Sport Relief. Any Top Gear fans would have love Top Ground Gear Force - Top Gear does Ground Force!! It was hilarious and me and Kieron couldn't stop laughing.

Saturday had arrived - Yippee!!! I was off to London for the day to see Hairspray with my Aunty Jan and some of her friends from work.

I got down to Aunty Jans for 8.30am (not to Kieron's liking who had to drop me off) and was ready and waiting, dad shortly arrived after who had kindly offered us to take us to New Street station. Rachel also came along with us as she was doing some shopping in town.

We got to New Street for 9.30am, me and Aunty Jan said our goodbyes and went into the station. Jackie, Carly, Hannah and Anna soon arrived and we decided to get oursleves a drink and a bacon sarnie from Burger King.

We soon had our food and made our way down to our platform where the train was already waiting for us. It was absolutley packed, Jackie had reserved our seats in Carriage D but we couldn't get through because of all the people.

The train pulled off at 10am and we still weren't in our seats, once some more people had shifted i lead the way through the carriages. We were in first class and had to move down 5 carriages before getting to D.

We were almost there before we couldn't move any further. Apparantly (according to a conversation i had over heard) there was some craft thing going on a the N.E.C and that's where all the people were going.

After 10 minutes we pulled up at International Station so we jumped off the train, ran down the platform and got on at Cariage D.

We hoisted the people out of our reserved seats and finally managed to tuck into our bacon baps. We were half way through our journey, having a nice chat when Carly pulled out a bottle of sparkling wine, some orange juice and some pastic cups and started dishing out bucksfizz to everyone!

We arrived 10 minutes early in Euston and made our way to the taxi rank to get us to Shaftesbury Theatre. The show started at 3pm and we had plenty of time to kill. We took a stroll round the corner into Covent Garden to find somewhere to eat.

After a mooch round a few shops and stall we found Zizzi's and decided to go in there. I phoned Irene (who was on her way to meet us) to tell her where we were. She was having a few problems on the train as the Rugby was on in Twickenham.

We ordered some drinks and had a nice little chat round the table. It wasn't long before Irene arrived and we started to order our food.

Most of us had pasta as we only wanted something light before the show. After our food we got the bill and made our way back to the theatre. We found our seats and waited for it to begin.

Hairspray is about a girl (Tracy) who loves to sing and dance, and her ambition is to appear on the Corny Collins show which features the latest songs and dances.Even though Tracy can sing and dance she's quite a chubby girl and she she gets picked on at school.

She ends up in detention one day and meets a group of black kids who show her some fancy new dance moves.

Anyway it ends up that they have a competition on this show and Tracy appears with these black kids and they become famous etc the end.

Its a really good show and the music and dancing is brilliant. The best bit though is that Michael Ball plays Tracy's mother and it's just so funny!

After the show we decided to have a drink somewhere, but beacuse the Rugby was on, everywhere was packed so we ended up in TGI Friday's.

After a couple of drinks we decided to get something to eat and went back to the restaurant we were in last year called the Popagonda. Its really weird but colourful in there and the food is delicious.

We all had a nice chat and a laugh but it was soon time for us to go. We said our goodbyes to Irene, grabbed a taxi and headed back to Euston.

We were all falling asleep on the way home and iwas glad to see New Street station. Kieron was already waiting for me and Aunty Jan and he soon got us back home. It was 12.10am when i got back to the flat and i went straight to bed.

Sunday was a good day, i got up and did some tidying and then popped down to see mum. For Mother's day i was going to buy her Paul McCartney's Pipes of Peace on cd but they hadn't got it so i ordered it online. It arrived on Saturday morning whilst i was in London so i decided to go give it her.

I had a cup of coffee whilst i was there and had a little chat. I stayed for an hour as i had to go do the food shopping. It was hectic in Sainsbury's and we couldn't wait to get out of there.

When we got back i unloaded the shopping whilst Kieron started cooking dinner. He made a prawn curry and it was really nice.

After dinner we watched some tv before deciding to go to Blockbusters to see what films they had got. There wasn't much that we wanted to watch but we ended up renting Anchor Man, we've been wanting to watch it for awhile but couldn't find it anywhere until now.

It's quite a funny film although a bit silly in places.

After watching the film i went down to nans for tea as usual.

And i think that just about sums it all up so see you next week.

Stop, Start, Stop, Start!

Hello there everyone and yes i know its a slightly later blog this week but i've just had the chance to blog! So sorry about that.

Work has been busy, Peter was away last week so we've all been trying to handle everything while he's been away.

Monday evening i sat and watched some tv although there wasn't that much on, Kieron was playing Lost Odyssey on his xbox for most of the evening. I had bought him a strategy guide so that he could collect some of the good items within the game which he was very carefully studying.

Tuesday work was again busy with other people in and out of the office so there were many messages flying around the office all day.

In the evening i got home to find Kieron in a bit of a grumpy mood. He went to put disc 4 of his game and his xbox wasn't reading it. He phoned his mate Steve to see if he could borrow his disc 4 so we quickly popped around and got it.

So on Wednesday i had a call from Kieron at lunch to say he was working in the pallisades for most of the day and he would meet me in town in my lunch break.

We went and had a cup of coffee and then we went to change his game. We had a little walk around (especially HMV) and then Kieron had to get back to work. I also decided to take my walk back to my office.

Wednesday evening i got back home and sat and watched Torchwood followed by the usual Gordon Ramsay!

Thursday work went really quiet and dead so much so i sat at my desk all day and didn't really do anything! It always gets to me when i haven't got anything to do but still i had a fairly relaxing day.

Thursday evening Gareth popped round for abit. He wanted to get his haircut, so after school he went to his usual barber in May Lane but he had closed due to lack of business. So he asked me if i could shave it for him as i always do Kieron's hair (before the jokes start yes i am very good at it!)

So i got the razor out and it was a number 2 all over. He had to dash as he was going to the Packhorse so he siad his goodbyes and off he went.

I carried on watching tv and Kieron had an early night off his game to come and sit with me.

Friday was a little bit busier at work, Peter came back in the afternoon from being on holiday although he was going to be away again next week for a few days.

I couldn't wait for 5pm and it came round quicker than i had expected. When i got home Kieron had bought me a bottle of wine. I updated my Mp3 palyer for a bit and left it to charge whilst i sat and watched some tv.

I also went and watched Kieron play his game and then went to bed.

Saturday and it was my brother's birthday. I did a little bit of tidying up in the morning before going to mums. Mum had had her new carpet fitted and they were just getting most of the furniture back in when i arrived.

It's a browny/sand colour and its very soft. She had loads left over and i jokingly said that the left over would do my hallway. So with a quick phone call to Kieorn and mum with the measuring tape the left overs would indeed do my hallway so very kindly of mum i loaded the carpet in to my car!!

I helped Gareth out with the computer and then we went to Kings Heath as Gareth was upgrading his mobile. We went into the O2 shop and he soon found the Sony Ericsson phone he wanted. (See Gareth's blog for more details as i can't remember the model!).

After we had got his phone we went back home and had a piece of cake and glass of wine with nan and grandad. A bit later on in the afternoon nan and grandad went home and we decided to go to the Packhorse for a pub lunch.

I went and picked Kieron up to find out again htat his disc 4 on Lost Odyssey didn't work. As he had borrowed Steve's disc he had been using that during the week and had only remembered to try his new copy. We decided that it must be a bad batch adn we would yet again go and change it some time.

We stayed at the pub for an hour and then me and Kieron headed over to Steve and Natalie's for the rest of the evening. Kieron and Steve played Lost Odyssey and me and Natalie watched Fawlty Towers as she has the complete set.

Me and Kieron got back home for about 12am and we went straight to bed.

Sunday we got up and Kieron really wanted to sort his game out so i rang Gamestation in Northfield to see if we could take it back there instead of going into town, the guy said yes she we popped into Northfield and Kieron changed his game.

We also popped in Wilkinsons to get some carpet tape (as mums carpet was in three pieces) so we could piece the carpet together.

We got back to the flat and me and Kieron laid out the carpet to see how it would fit, Kieron really wanted to get it done so he asked his dad for soem help. So whilst they were doing the carpet i went over to see Rosey for abit as i needed to giver her her Harry Potter book back. We had a nice chat as we haven't seen it other for a while and she kindly let me borrow book 7 of Harry Potter.

I stayed for an hour and decided to head off as i was going to do the shopping. I went round Sainsbury's as quickly as possible as it was terribly busy and then went back home.

Kieron and his dad had almost finished the carpet when i got back and it looked lovely. A little bit later and it was finished Tony had to go home as his dinner was nearly ready and me and Kieron tidied up. I starterd to read Harry Potter and Kieron did some dinner.

Kieron got a little bit bored so he sked me to drop hime off at Steve's, which i did and then when i came back mum was waiting for me as she wanted to see what the carpet looked like in the hall.

She had a quick cup of tea and we had a chat and then we left. Mum was going back home and i was going down to dads for some tea for a mini Gareth birthday celebration. Nan and Aunty Jan were there and Gareth had brought along Donna.

Dad made Spaghetti Bolognaise and we had chocolate cake for afters. We had a nice little evening and we all headed off about 10pm. I took nan home as Aunty Jan had to go and fetch Rachel from the train station. I made sure nan was in her house safely and then i went over to get Kieron.

We got home and i went straight to bed.

So that's it from me so see you next week - cheerio!

It's Just Non-Stop!

Hello again

Well last week wasn't particularly brilliant as i haven't been feeling too well but i'm 100% now so whilst i've got the energy lets blog....

... So last Monday work was fairly busy although there wasn't many people in the office so it was messages gallore!

5.30pm soon came whizzing round (which i was very glad about!) and i rushed out of the door before anyone could stop me. When i got home Kieron had done some lamb chops and veg which was really nice.

Kieron watched some Dragon Ball Z episodes on the computer while i continued to read Harry Potter. I ended up finishing the book so i watched 'Skins' before going to bed.

Tuesday was a bit calmer but i still had a lot to sort out and get done. Unfortunately time decided to drag itself and it felt like ages before 5.30pm was anywhere near!

I got home and Kieron didn't what to have to eat so we ended up having tune and pasta. I began to read Book 6 of Harry Potter (and the Half-blood Prince) and Kieron still carried on watching Dragon Ball Z he also had to finish copying the episodes for my brother (who is also a big fan!).

Wednesday morning at work was dull and boring, but the afternoon brightened up a bit with a trip to the RIBA bookshop. I was gone for about 20 minutes and when i came back my new franking machine arrived, so i spent the rest of the afternoon setting it all up.

When i got home Kieron had already eaten so i did myself some fish, mashed potatoe and salad which was very tasty. i carried on reading my book until Torchwood came on, after that me and Kieron watched Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares which was just absolutely brilliant.

After that we went to bed, well i thought i was going to bed however my stomach decided that it didn't like my fish, mash and salad so iwas up most of the night.

So on Thursday i woke up feeling like a bomb had hit me so i decided it was safer for me to be at home in bed, rather than struggle into work. I had a long sleep, then i got and had a shower and finally placed myself on the setee and began reading my book. I was so ingrossed in my book i didn't even realise that the day had flown by.

I carried on reading into the evening and then had an early night.

Friday i felt a bit better but still rather fragile but i decided i would try and go to work. Thankfully my day was quite quiet, which was good, so i just took things easy.

Derek came in to introduce us to a new member of staff,Mark, who will be joining us, he is going to be a senior associate so to help us celebrate we went to the pub at lunch although i only had an orange juice as i don't think my stomach would have agreed with alcohol.

I had a quick drink with everyone but i had to go into town to get Kieron his new game which he has been waiting for! Lost Odyssey which is a RPG and also one of the producers who does Final Fantasy, helped with Lost Odyssey.

When i got home Kieron couldn't wait to get start playing his game, so while he started i went and got us a chippy.

I caught up with Eastenders and other programmes i had missed during the week. After that i decided to get comfy in bed and continue reading my book.

Saturday morning i was up fairly early as me, mum, Gaz, nan and grandad were going into town. I decided a couple of weeks ago that i didn't know what to get mum for mothers day so i thought if i take her into town she could pick something. So with the trip to town on the horizon my nan and grandad mentioned that they had never been into the bullring as they didnt know their way around so i decided they could come too.

Gaz and mum got to mine for about 8.45am, we dived into the car and headed over to nan and grandads. When we arrived they were waiting outside the door so they got in and off we went. I navigated Gaz into town and we were soon pulling up in the Bullring car park, we crossed the road and into the Bullring we were.

My grandad couldn't believe how nice and spacious it was and was amazed at all the shop fitted under one roof.

We went all round, stopping at the odd shop on the way. Gaz bought himself Run Fat Boy Run on dvd and i bought some new shoes for work. We stopped and had a cup of coffee to give us a well deserved break.

We carried on round the second half of the Bullring and decided to call it a day. We were there for about 2 hours and we had all had enough.

We headed back to the car adn back over to nan and grandads. We had a cake and a quick gulp of wine before heading off home as i was going out.

I got back home for about 12.30pm had a bite to eat and then me and Kieron went over to see Kieron's mate, Jay. He had moved into his new house with his girlfriend Cheryl and puppy Rottweiler Noah.

The house is quite nice they've got abit of decorating to do but i'm sure they'll do it in no time. Kieron showed Jay his new game whilst me and Cheryl (who was ok but a bit weird) were talking about the dog.

We had been there for a good few hours when my stomach decided it was back to its old tricks again, so i thought it best to go home. As soon as i got in i was violently ill and unfortunatley couldn't get back to pick Kieron up so Jay let him stay in the spare bedroom.

Sunday morning i was feeling a bit better so i got up and started to ready for my busy morning. As it was Mother's Day (hope you remembered) i bought my two nans a little bouquet of flowers and my mum a big bunch. I went over to see nan and grandad for half an hour, then over to mums and just as i was about to leave Kieron rang and asked if i could go and pick him up.

I got to Jay's for about 12ish sat and had a cup of tea and then me and Kieron headed over to see his mum for a bit.

By the time we got back to the flat we were exhausted, Kieron carried on playing his game and i had a little nap on the couch.

A bit later i went to nans for tea and gave her her flowers and watched tv.

And i think that about sums it up for now - cheerio!
