New Year, New Blog - Day 11

Day 11 continued with yesterdays comedy of errors by my iPhone dying overnight and my alarm not going off. Thankfully I only over slept by 10 minutes this time. 

I kept waking up through the night and I could not straighten my arms whatsoever. It was much the same throughout the day, not being able to straighten my arms. I feel tonight might be much the same. 

Work was fun today, I made scones in food tech. It was the messiest lesson I have ever been to and one of the most enjoyable. That was the highlight of the day with the other lessons quite fun as well. After work, I helped with the year 7 rugby training. They played one big game for about 40 minutes but they enjoyed it. They have a game on Saturday away at St. Martins. 

I got some bad news about my car. She needs a new engine. The new glow plugs didnt solve the probelm, although they needed replacing anyway and now I get to help Chris change engines. It will be fun to do and afterwards I'll have a spare engine that I can take apart and learn from. I might be able to repair that one and sell it. So that bad news got me down a little bit so I decided not to go spinning and watch Transformers in bluray on my new TV. It is awesome!!


Anyway, thats all I have for today.


Until tomorrow

New Year, New Blog - Day 6

Day 6 was pretty darn good.  Its Friday and the day went quick which means ITS THE WEEKEND!!

It was Alicia's birthday today and I cant believe I forgot to get our English class to sing happy birthday! She might not have talked to me again if I had remembered. I did try to wake her up with text messages but that also failed.
I was quite naughty at break because I was so hungry that I had cheese on toast and a bacon and egg roll. It was delicious and I didnt feel bad for eating it. I had my favourite lesson of the week period 4 and there was a new teacher who seems pretty cool and I think will get the best out of that class in time.

After work had finished, I did a 15 minute, very high intensity workout. It was very very tough but I know its doing good. Just need to do it more that once a week. It consisted of a 500m row, 21 swings with a kettle bell and then 15 press ups, repeated 5 times. OUCH! (You'll be impressed Sam)

When I got home from work I sat down at my laptop and just went on facebook and listened to music. The new TV didnt go on and it was really nice to just relax completly.

Tonight my TV has still been off but I've watched Auf Wiedersehen Pet with mum and dad in the front room and it was very funny. Thats one of my top 10 TV series.

If the layout of the blog keeps changing over the next few weeks, don't be alarmed, I'm just trying to get the balance of colours or the text and background right and find the right design. It will be sorted soon. I managed to put a visiter counter on last night and it read 224. When I went on this evening about 8.00pm it read 243, and then later this evening it read 252! I am truely amazed. Thank you everyone for reading. Please feel free to comment.

I think in tomorrows blog I will talk about my musical tastes and what I like to listen too and when.

Until then

New Year, New Blog - Day 3

Day 3 and it was back to work.

The hardest thing about today was waking up to the alarm. It was a shock to the system to say the least!
It was good to see friends and hear stories of their Christmas, and by break time I was thankful for the coffee. The rest of the day was pretty easy and went quick which is always good. I had order a new turbocharger for Penny (my car), and was quoted from a Peugeot dealership between £800-£1200! I did kindly say I'd look elsewhere and found a brand new one for £438. Bargin!

A trip to Sainsburys proved an expencive one with me buying a massive 40" LCD/HD/OMG/LOL and all that jazz TV. Wow! The picture is amazing and so clear! I think I may have to put off going back to the gym for another week, just to make sure the TV works properly.

One thing that has surprised me today was the amount of people who said they have been reading these blogs. I just have to figure out to put a visitor counter on the page so I can see numbers of readers and how to write a little bit more.

I am appreciative of all those who take the time to read, so thank you very much.

Until tomorrow
