An Interesting Weekend
Kat was nervous at first, due to a dislike of large crowds, but she got more into it after Rickie Lambert’s stunning free kick which warmed us all. I was quite surprised she recognised Kelvin Davies, albeit as “that guy I bumped into in Asda”, and after about 20 minutes she asked “Is he always offside?” in regards to Papa Waigo. It wasn’t long before she was moaning at Lloyd James’ short corners and telling me that everyone from Luton is a knife carrying ****. She also laughed louder than most when Luton’s Adam Newton failed to slot home into the open goal from 2 yards out. I think she’s picking things up quite nicely.
Christmas Lists
Yesterday my girlfriend asked me to do something I haven’t done since I was a child. Write a Christmas list.
The process got me thinking about what I wanted for Christmas, as well as birthday because that happens to be the same day. I found myself jotting a few things down and then feeling bad about what I’d listed.
I love the NHS but…
There’s no doubt in my mind that the NHS does outstanding work, so I don’t wish to bash the service completely in this post. What follows is what I have experienced over the course of this last week which has left me worried and frustrated.
Engagement & London
Yes, I am now officially engaged. It’s all very exciting. Well, it is for me and Kat, maybe less so for you lot. I proposed on Bank Holiday Monday, getting down on one knee and holding out a ring, all that good stuff. We’d spent the evening watching I Love You, Man (my choice) and Bride Wars (Kat’s choice) so the whole getting married vibe was big that night. Thankfully, once the question had been popped, Kat said yes… after a bit of a giggle and a hug.
Knees & News
The search for this year’s winner of the Most Resilient Boyfriend award may have been discovered. Al Galpin deserves a massive round of applause for his somewhat incredible ability to go shopping with his Girlfriend, Kat, for an unprecedented six hours.
Fulfilling a Dream: Part II
Last Saturday was an interesting day. Kat and I awoke at a reasonable hour, having planned to go into Southampton to do a little shopping for the day. She needed some new jeans and a pair of shoes for her mums wedding that match her bridesmaid dress. I needed some new work trousers and a shirt for Kat’s mums wedding. We then proceeded to waste away the morning…
Flats & Silly Money
It seems there are one or two friendly and helpful estate agents left in this part of the world, and a few who don’t charge the earth in “admin” fees. After seeing what seems like an endless number of flats and houses, with our favourite ones being snatched out from under our noses, Kat and I finally found somewhere to live.
Day off and the Estate Agents of Doom!
Yesterday was my day off and Kat & I had arranged to view a couple of flats through Tenant Link. We were supposed to view four different properties, and they even called early in the morning to confirm our appointment. So we get to their office ready to be taken to the properties and what do they tell us? One property has been let. And the others are “not suitable” for us because we’re looking to move in June and the properties are available now.
WHAT!?
Fulfilling a dream
Hey gang! Actually, I’m not sure enough people read this to actually constitute a gang. Not even enough for a rabble. But, anyway, I still write. Many a time have I passed the Apple store in Southampton’s West Quay shopping centre and seen the gathering of teenagers that hang out there, checking their facebook and […]
