I made a difficult decision last week, i decided that me and S shouldn't see each other any more. It's best for both of us. It'll let me move on easier, plus it'll stop her having to lie to her boyfriend (i don't think he knows my online alias). There is a lot more to it, obviously, but i don't want to publicly air those kind of things.
Not up to much this weekend, was going to be going up to Northampton to see AJ but a couple of us couldn't make it so we're doing something on the weekend of the 20th for AJ's birthday. Maybe go out in the city or something.
I'm thinking about going to a bonfire tonight, i've got tons of stuff to do at home - plus private work, but we'll see.

I hardly did anything over the weekend, 'cept some private work which i still didn't finish. And considering that, i am knackered today.
Look at me, posting 3 days in a row, I don't think that's EVER happened. Maybe now that i know someone reads this (even if they seem a little deranged) i'm more motivated to post to it.
This morning for breakfast i have had 2 pain au raisins.

I spent a good 15 minutes in the petrol station this morning. They put some old biddy behind the counter. I walked in and there were beeps coming from everywhere and she was panicing and kept saying "sorry everybody" and laughing a little - i thought the guy behind me was going to KILL her. And the women in front kept on that she was going to be late for work, it's only 15 minutes...
I also got my new debit card through yesterday, chip and pin. So i paid with it today in the petrol station and the old biddy just used the old machine so i didn't even get to try it out.
Don't know if anyone's noticed, but i made a RSS feed for my log the other day. I know, exciting. I also want to convert this page into XHTML, i've been meaning to do it for months - why is it my own projects always come last?!

Last night was interesting. Unfortunately i can't say too much of it on here as she seems to think that whatever i write on the internet has the power to ruin and destroy her life - see the couple of "removed by request" statements below.
I spoke to Jen last night, she was saying how she had renewed her car insurance for her 2003 (i think) Citreon Saxo. The first people she called told her that they couldn't insure her for it because they class it as group 21!! group 21? i thought it only went to 20. They classed it that high because of the number of thefts last year of Saxo's. She managed to get a good deal somewhere else.
Sarah's coming round for dinner tonight, not sure whether to cook or just get a takeaway - depends how lazy i'm feeling later. Not much else planned for the weekend, need to finish off the site i'm working on and quite fancy going to see a movie or something.
Saturday 13th November 2004
Ended up getting a chinese last night, i was feeling far too lazy to cook for us. Had a good time, we always have a good laugh.
If you looked out the window today you could be fooled that it's a hot summers day, blue skies, sun shining - turns out it's freezing out. Still better than it being overcast and raining.
I went round to S's mums and dads earlier to get my stuff out of their garage. The way she was talking i thought there was going to be loads of stuff and i might have had to make 2 trips or something. Turns out there was hardly anything so got it all in my car and stored away now. I only saw her grandparents, i'm guessing they didn't really know what had happened last week cause they were nice as always.
Not sure what i'm doing tonight yet, i had planned to get this site done that i said about - i might actually stay in and try and get it done, it's probably only a couple of hours work if i stop procrastinating.
Sunday 14th November 2004
I managed to stay in last night and actually get some work done! I even updated this site to XHTML.
Watched Holyoaks in bed this morning and then Dad, Sarah and I went over to see my uncle. He was just finishing tiling his kitchen floor today, all the kitchen stuff is in the dining room and out in the back garden - chaos. He thinks it's gonna be a couple more weeks before it's finished.
And why can't some people drive on the motorways?? They just seem incapable. Stay in the outside lane, don't signal, drive too slow - good thing i don't get road rage.

It's really starting to get cold now. Had to turn my heating up, but it's warm in here now. Haven't had to scrape any ice off of my car yet, but i think i will soon. Winter gets so boring, dark all the time (apart from when you're at work) and cold, never makes you want to do anything. I'm looking forward to spending xmas in Spain, i know it won't be HOTT, but it won't be freezing.
Just finished playing a few games of AVP2 with Barry, he'd been begging to play it for ages - since he saw the movie. I must go and see that some time. I completely pwned his ass the first game, i hadn't played for a long time. I don't have too much time to play games anymore. I've got so many games i need to finish, Doom 3, XIII, Hitman 2 and i'm sure there's some others.
Dad's got a wicked courtesy car! a 1.2 corsa, the interia is rank, it's beige and it's got some pattern that it looks like a kid designed. classy. They're only replacing the mirror that the bus scraped and fixing a couple of scuffs, so should have it back soon.

So i'm arranging this surprise for a certain young lady over email, I heard about something on the radio that i wanted to take her to. I send the link to the site to myself to remind me when i get home, and wtf do i do? i send it to her by mistake - just typed in her name as if i was sending her an email... f**k.
Turns out she's already going to see it anyway, so saved me the look on her face when she would have found out what it was in a couple of weeks!
Now i've just got to think of something else instead.
Friday 19th November 2004
I got my hair cut last night, I go to the hair dressers that's just downstairs from my apartment on the square. They even let me use the back door now so i don't have to go right round the front, on my way out the back though i almost knocked one of them out - she was stood right by the fire exit door, luckily she thought it was funny.
Spoke to Jen last night, she's having a bit of a stressful time at work. They're understaffed and one of the "senior" guys there is acting like an ass. He's not helping out with the menial tasks that take up most of their time and generally being a dick. She felt a bit better after talking to me about it all.
Cold this morning, had to de-frost my car for the first time this winter.
Sunday 21st November 2004
Just got back from seeing Barry in Nottingham, went up there yesterday afternoon. Stayed up till the early hours playing Burnout 3 last night. I would be tempted to buy one of the new PS2s, the smaller ones, but i can't afford to just buy one and probably end up never using it anyway - i never seem to find time to even play games on the PC.
Traffic sucked bad on the way back down, i hate the M1 on a sunday night. My car is less than 100 miles away from 99,000 on the clock. ouch.
I'm so knackered, i hope i get a good nights sleep, i've got a busy week coming up.

Who says life's ever boring?
I'm on my way to work this morning, going to get petrol on the way, just in the middle of town and i sense a little lack of power - shit. Yep, for the first time in 3 and a half years of having that car and that petrol needle never working i was about to run out of petrol. It had enough to tickover, but it was going anywhere.
So, off i go to the petrol station that's closest to town - i'd never been to it before. It had shut down. Another 10 minute walk to the next one, guess what, closed. A 20 minute walk to the other side of town and i finally get a petrol can and some petrol.
I left Aylesbury about an hour later than usual, i'm still at work only half an hour late. Tonight should be good, damn, i forgot my camera.
Wednesday 24th November 2004
I am shattered, i got in about 3am this morning and got about 3 hours sleep. Then it's taken 2 and a half hours to get into work because of some milk float spilling his load on the A41/M25 roundabout.
Had a great time last night with a few of the 12stone guys, Stmoo, Mowgli88 and Technomancer in London. We met up in The George on D'Arblay St and moved on to The O Bar (i think that was what it was called). I gave Techno a lift back, he only lives about 20mins from me. Have a look on 12stone for more details.

This week has been crazy, i've been so busy - at work and out of work. I went out with Jen last night for a couple of drinks down her local, she said next time we can go round to hers and play scrabble, i think she was joking... we had a good time, we only left the pub because we didn't want any more to drink and the landlord noticed we were sat there with no drinks and kept giving us funny looks.
I'm going to tidy my apartment a bit tonight, mom's flying in tonight and she'll be coming round tomorrow. And there's a newsagents opened in the shop below me, that's not too bad, least it's not another chinese takeaway.
Sunday 28th November 2004
I'm not sad to see the end of this week. It's been a rough one, but, I'm in a good mood and have been all week. Hey, without the clouds, how would you appreciate the sun?!
Mom was over this weekend. She wasn't well saturday so we didn't end up going to the wedding reception that she came over for. I took her back to the airport early this morning - very early.
Today i went and saw dad, then i went over to see Mick about some stuff which i won't talk about on here 
Now i'm going to get some dinner, have a bath and get some sleep. Work tomorrow! and i'm going to be VERY BUSY again this week.
Monday 29th November 2004
Not been a terrible monday. Still got tons of work to do, and still more coming in.
Neil emailed me today, haven't spoken to him for probably over a year - i can't remember exactly when... He's doing alright up in Sunderland, he's coming down around xmas so should be able to catch up when i get back from Spain.
Might still be going to see Chicago over the weekend with Jenn, she was supposed to be going with a load of friends but they're not deciding on when they can all go. Hopefully find out tomorrow.
I must get started on Barry's website.
