Time for another post...

Haven't blogged for a while now... just been a bit busy/lazy! So here's the catch up of shiney items, garden plans, how not to move shelves and football. Sorry for the Huge blog!

Some of my recent purchases have definitely been worth it and I can't believe I didn't buy them before, such as sky + and surround sound. I think sky + has actually made me watch less TV, because I can record loads of stuff really easily, so that I only watch decent stuff on the TV. I'm clearly watching loads more random football too! Surround sound is awesome, I just need to tune the system so that my back speakers are slightly louder, and the subwoofer needs turning down slightly as its knocking paint of the walls...... if only! The few.... larger bits I still want to buy is a new digi camera, got my eye on the nikon P3, Tom Tom (waiting for the new product line in April), DVD recorder for copying stuff from sky down, new shiney mobile with bluetooth headset (should get off old contract as its expensive and I don't use 50 free mins a day anymore!!!) , new bike so I can continue to improve my fitness and consider triathalons, huge external hard disk, to hold all my photos and mp3s and movies etc, maybe a digita camcorder, new bedroom furniture and possible rearrange the spare bedroom, huge rug for the lounge and other minor things too! phew.... i need a pay rise!!!

I now think I know what to do with my back garden... it involves taking a week orf from work, digging the garden up, putting decking down, relaying the lawn, putting a new shed up in the far right hand corner of the garden, and putting down big stones to the shed and gate in the other corner of the garden. I might then decide to dig out a couple of holes in the middle of the garden to put plants in or have shingle stoneys down the right side to put potted plants on.... anyway.... enough talk of gardening.... football talk soon....

Question.... How can moving shelves from one side of the lounge to the other side of the lounge require a complete room paint?
Answer.... Get me to move them.
What happened.... Well shelves were taken down.... rawl plugs removed from wall.... holes polyfilled and sanded.... then painted with what I thought was the right paint, but it was actually the old lounge paint mixed with a darker sample pot ages ago when I painted the spare room.... then go to B & Q to buy a small sample pot of the original colour.... paint over the patches and say to self, wow, thats spot on.... with confidence in paint overwhelming, paint other patches all over the lounge.... cry as when the paint dries, it dries far darker than the original.... hence whole room needs a re-paint :o(

Football: I'm playing loooooads of football at the moment, and my fitness is getting loads better, as is my actual playing. I'm going to Keele (between Manc and Birmingham) on 21-23rd April for a weekend football tournament which i'm really looking forward to.... finished 2nd last year which is the highest as yet. The mighty Royals will be playing today at 3 against the foxes knowing that a win would mean they are playing premiership football next year!!!!! Everyone must keep note of the Reading score and cheer when they make it..... BLUE ARMY!!! BLUE ARMY!!! BLUE ARMY!!! BLUE ARMY!!!

So off to B & Q to buy some paint to paint over the patches between my patches!!!!!! So long!

iPod car attachments

I've been looking at some car attachments to play my iPod in my car, but unfortunately my best bet, the iTrip seems illegal :o( Might buy it anyway but the other options all seem a bit too much hastle or too rubbish.

Anyway, had a fun weekend, mostly doing D.I.Y round Liz's and mine, bits of painting, clearing up and shelf putting up. As well as time to chill out and laze around.

Well if that don't put the dink in co-inky-dink

£50M stolen from Kent.... most of it has been found.... I go on a wild spending spree.... unrelated? Perhaps...

Spending spree: Wireless router, Sky+ subscription, 30GB iPod video, iStation, loadsa portable telephones!
Still to spend: Sat Nav, surround sound system for TV, iPod car accessory thingy, new shinier mobile with bluetooth headset.

Reasoning behind spending spree: Don't know.

All donations will be gratefully accepted.

Feeling like I'm coming down with a cold :o( Looks like I'll have to watch some TV at home :o)

Other news... My lounge is now the opposite way round to the way it was last week! Feels a bit strange now, but somehow there feels like there is more space! I'll have to find a gadget to buy to fill it up ;oP
