"You can be Successful and have Enemies or You can be Unsuccessful and have Friends".

Hello everyone and welcome back for another update!

So i've already blogged last Monday as it was Bank Holiday, so...

...back to work it was on Tuesday. My day was fairly uneventful but i had lots to catch up on due to me having the Friday off aswell.

In the evening Kieron played on his xbox whilst i watched some tv. We then both sat down to watch American Gangster which we had borrowed of Kieron's mum and dad. American Gangster stars Densel Washington and Russel Crow. Its about an American Cocaine dealer called Frank Lucas (Densel) who is shipping massive amounts of 100% cocaine from Vietnam. The cops (lead by Russel Crow) have to under go a massive operation to try and catch Densel. Its based on a true story and its a brilliant film. So i recomend you all going out this minute and hire it or buy it!

Wednesday work was fairly quiet, i managed to get most of my filing done, which was good as it kept me busy.

In the evening me and Kieron watch The Golden Compass starring Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman. It's a good family film although i think it was trying to beat The Chronicles of Narnia (which in my opinion didn't, Narnia was far better) and two it just stops half way through the film, so there's obviously going to be another one. You start getting into it and you think "yeah lets go get the baddies and win the war" and then the film ends.

Thursday was an ok day Harley from Armstrong Burton called in as we had a couple of problems with one of our machines which he just about managed to sort out.

In the evening i caught up with some soaps and watched Britains Got Talent. Kieron came in about 9pm after coming off his xbox and we watched some tv together before going to bed.

Friday work was really slow and just dragged on. I couldn't wait to get home and sit and relax. Me and Kieron sat and watched tv together for most of the evening, and then looked on the internet for dvd's. We also looked for some living room furniture as we were going shopping on Saturday and wanted to get an idea for what we wanted.

Saturday was a busy but exciting day. Me and Kieron were going round shopping for some new living room furniture. We got up and had some breakfast, got ready and off we went.

We started by going to Ikea in Wednesbury. We both had never been there before and didn't quite know what to expect. Its a huge place with lots of different ideas. You go round the shop looking at the furniture you want and then when you've been round all departments (i.e. living room, kitchen etc) you end up in a huge warehouse and you pick up your furniture on the way out, pay and off you go. Its very well though out and a very good idea!

They had some items we liked but nothing that really stood out to us, so we made our way abnck towards Shirley and looked round Shed City. We went in and out of all the furniture shops umming and arring until we settled on a set from Argos. We bought a coffee table, matching tv unit and matching bookcase and a lovely new rug.

Kieron had some other bits and pieces he wanted to pick up and then off we went home. We got all the furniture into the flat and set about putting it togther. It took us a couple of hours to get things sorted but we finally did it. After the furniture we started to have a move around in the living room to actually make the living room feel like a home.

We then collapsed on the sofa and watched some tv.

Sunday i sorted out the rubbish that was left over from the furniture and took most of it down the tip. Me and Kieron then went shopping at Morrisons.

When we came back we had some lunch and Kieron downloaded some episodes of Lost that we had missed. Kieron's mum and dad came up for a bit to see the new furniture and new layout.

I went down to nans for tea as usual but i left a little bit earlier so that i could get home to watch the England vs Trinidad & Tobago friendly.

Well short but sweet, i know, but that's it from me

Cheerio
