So Long and Thanks for all the Fish!

Hello everyone and welcome back once again to the weekly update.

So i hope everyone else has been suffering with Hayfever, i have and it hasnt been nice, but anyway last Monday was busy. The lovely sunny weather had arrived and the office was like a huge oven and i was the turkey being baked along side with the onions and potatoes!

In evening mum came round to see the new layout of the living room and also because we are slowly organising mine and Kieron's wedding. Mum had some brochures of venues that i could consider, so if have been to a wedding recently or know of a good venue (that isn't ridiculously expensive) please leave me a comment - thank you!

Mum also bought a bottle of wine round with her which we soon polished off whilst searching and scanning the internet for wedding ideas.

Tuesday work was still busy and the sun was still shining. Although thankfully my day went quickly and i was home before i knew it.

In lunch time i went into town to find a leaving present for Adam as it would be his last day on Friday. The collection figure was £95 (which i thought was pretty impressive) so off i trundled, but didn't really see anything exciting.

Me and Paul discussed the idea when i got back and we came up with getting him a rather swanky watch!

In the evening Kieron had got hold of some pirate dvd's (Shhh!). So we watched 10,000 BC, which is actually better than we thought. We had heard lots of comments about the film but we thought it was really good. We also watched Prince Caspian - the next Narnia film which again we thoroughly enjoyed and we will still go and see it on the cinema.

We watched tv for a bit and then went to bed.

Wednesday things had quietened down for a bit which was good as it gave me chance to catch up with myself and do some filling.

Lunch time Peter took everyone in the office out to lunch, Adam would be leaving on Friday but alot of people wouldn't be in to say goodbye to him on his last day, so the meal was like a half sending off for him.

We went round the corner to a Chinese restaurant called Henry's. Its really nice in there and the service and food is excellent.

Everyone was in a good and lay-back mood so we didn't really get much work done, we kind of stood around talking so it was a fun afternoon.

In the evening i watched The Apprentice and then me and Kieron were on the internet lookig at watches so that i knew what i was looking for, for Adam's present.

Thursday things sped up again which i didn't mind as the day flew past. In my lunch time i went back up into town and bought Adam a nice watch, a card and a gift bag to put it all in. The watch was from H Samuels and it was rather nice (Click here to look at watch!).

When i got back to the office i showed Paul and he too was impressed. After buying the watch, the card and the gift bag i had £12 left so me and Paul decided to put the £12 in the card.

In the evening me and Kieron watched the beginning of Big Brother, yep sorry people but its that time of year again.

After Big Brother i had a shower, and then me and Kieron carried on watching boring tv before going to bed.

Friday twas a sad day - Adam was leaving! The day was quiet and we didn't really do much. I spent the day sitting upstairs with the lads as there was hardly anybody in the office.

It was just before lunch and Peter decided that we would give Adam his card and present before we went to the pub, and then Paul had a brilliant idea.

We put the left over £12 in the card and so the idea was to give Adam just the card and make it look like that was his present. So Peter started his ever so serious speech and said "well we wish you the best of luck and here's something (handing over the card) to send you on your way, we didn't know what to get you so we thought best to let you decide what you spend it on".

Adam then said a few words and then opened the card ......... his face was a picture you could see the confusion on his face and he just didn't know what to say. Me and Paul fell about laughing and then we handed him his watch. He absolutley loved it and then we went next door for a few drinks.

We sat on the decking in the sun reminiscing about some funny moments we've all had at work. The day soon came to an end and we all said our goodbye's to Adam (i had to try hard not to cry!) and then i went home.

So all my wishes go out to Adam and Fiona who are at this very moment in time in Hong Kong! Bastards!

Anyway in the evening Kieron had Steve and Jim round as Kieron had a new game, Dragonball Z Burst Limit! And i went out for a drink with my good friend Luci P. We went to the Reservoir for a quick natter and a drink but i would be seeing Luci on Saturday evening as well.

Saturday was a good day, i got up and put my new curtains up which now look lovely. I went down to see mum, nan and grandad as usual for a slice of cake a couple of galsses of wine.

In the evening me and Kieron went over to Luci's house. She has moved into her new house (well its actually her parents house which she also lives in but you know what i mean!), which is next door to her old one (seriously i'm not joking). She had some food and lots to drink and she had quite a few people turn up. The house is lovely and has been well decorated and thought about. We stayed for just over and hour and then decided to call in and see Steve and Natalie for a bit.

Sunday was a peaceful day, me and Kieron went and did the shopping and when we came back i made some chocolate brownies, which were very yummy!

Me and Kieron watched some downloaded episodes of Smallville and then i went down to see my nan and have some tea as usual.

Well i think that's it from me - cheerio!
