Although its been done that way to set everything up for the 3r film.
Wednesday, Jun 11 2014, Visited the parents on the way home as my dad needed me to buy him something online. watched some tv and was going to go home early but east is east was on (only ever seen bits) and ended up watching about half of it, it's pretty good, may need to love film it.
Thursday, Jun 12 2014, Golf was good today and i got all the oncall week's sorted out so I can play in the pos bout in a couple of weeks. although everyone else in the team is off on holiday over July and part of august so im on cll about 4 times in 6 weeks but im thinking of the money so i can buy nice things.
Friday, Jun 13 2014, So tonight at training was Scrims an Kirk made me head ref the whole thing and do the captains meetings and what have you. No one died so that was a bonus but i didnt overly enjoy it though. It wasnt a very fouly scrim looks like the girls are really pulling it all together.
Saturday, Jun 14 2014, So Nick and Jonny came round today for a rubbish movie day, we watched Nazis at the centre of the earth, Metaa tornado, airline disaster, raptor ranch and american warship. Was good mocking all the films and we cam up with a few ideas for some more
Sunday, Jun 15 2014, So Italy played their first game in the world cup lastnight/this morning and although it did start before midnight (satuday) it mostly was played in the early hours of today, they beat England 2-1!!! :D
Monday, Jun 16 2014, Typical day at work, got home to this parcel from China (more really cheap knock off knee tape), also finished watching my love film rentals and did a little php programing
Tuesday, Jun 17 2014, so working from home today as usual but spent most of the day infuriated by Virgin as they had an issue with their network which meant that every 10 minutes it would drop the signal for about 8 minutes till it came back. Had to call them to find out what was going on, such a waste of time doing anything today.
Wednesday, Jun 18 2014, Boring but busy day at work, home early though and Mac and cheese for dinner then feeling a bit nostalgic and put on garden state to watch. Still such a good film.
Thursday, Jun 19 2014, So today i was really tired like crash out asleep at my desk tired, got home had a quick bite to eat and passed out on the couch but was awake during bits and bobs of the England football match which they lost 2-1
Friday, Jun 20 2014, So today I decided to make pizza from scratch for dinner. Had a busy day at work so it was well earned to make the pizza which tasted sooo good i was so surprised, also Italy played their 2nd WC game which they lost. But in doing so meant that England were out of the competition, but its looking very dodgy for Italy going through now :(
Saturday, Jun 21 2014, well Sat was a long day, road trip down to newcastle to play a coed team of Tyne and fear and newcastle roller girls with the jakey tayzers. unfortunately I took an allergic reaction very early on in the first half, my face swole up and went bright red and i ended up with a thumping head ache. was sick at half time. we also lost booo
Sunday, Jun 22 2014, Sunday i was knackered and still slightly unwell from yesterday so skipped CCRD training and spent the day at my parents. Watched the Austrian GP then tried to order my parents a new laptop online. Their bank kept blocking the payment though and we wasted about 2 hours on the phone to them with no end result :(
Monday, Jun 23 2014, Good but busy day at work, even though i was utterly shattered all day. Got home to this weeks comic arrival, also kinda passed out on the couch as I was so tired.
Tuesday, Jun 24 2014, Well yesterday I ordered my parents laptop and till their bank isnt sorted so i just paid for it. It got delivered today (I know) set it up as well as i could, also did a whle heap of work oh and Ital lost 1-0 so are out of the WC pretty much what i thought would happen after the costa rica game.
Wednesday, Jun 25 2014, Tonight i took my parents new laptop round to them, it runs Windows 8 which ive never used before and found it god in some ways but really bad in others. took a little while to set it up and sort it out for them but it wouldn't updated things properly and we discovered that we couldn't make a back up of windows to dvd it has to be a removable drive that they now need t buy.
Thursday, Jun 26 2014, Had the hospital for my scan results which were all good, apparently my kidney function hasn't changed in 10 years. Got the money back yesterday from my parents for their laptop I bought on Monday. It was burning a hole in my pocket as it was in cash so i bought myself a PS4 :D
