Catching Up

I have been slightly remiss with blogging recently haven't I! I do apologise. Anyway, here's a brief update of what we have done since I last wrote anything.

Wednesday - work + gym
Thursday - work
Friday - work
Saturday - Spent a very nice relaxing morning at home, getting up late and generally doing nothing except for watching the athletics. After lunch we headed up the M1 to Nottingham to see our friend Liz who was having a birthday barbecue. We were actually staying over at another friends house, so arrived at his at about 3pm, at which point his girlfriend got out of bed!! After a bit of catching up we all headed over to Liz's. The weather had cleared up nicely and it was actually lovely and sunny for most of the afternoon and evening. It was really nice to catch up with a few old friends, a lot of whom I probably hadn't seen since we all met up for liz's birthday last year!! In the evening we headed off to a club in town, where we all used to go in our Uni days. It has completely changed though, and just seemed a little bit wrong! It used to just be one big dancefloor upstairs, and a smaller, sweatier room downstairs, where the students would hang out. The downstairs now has an amazing flashing dancefloor! Very cheesy! So we spent the night there, and then walked back to Brian's via Adam's favourite old haunt, Nottingham Kebab House. To be fair, the kebabs are probably the nicest I've ever tasted, and for £1.50 you can't really complain, but they are still kebabs! The funny thing was that the kebab shop owner, Bash, remembered Ad from his uni days, and even asked after the rest of the gang!
Sunday - after watching a bit of the cricket, Adam and I headed into Nottingham for a spot of shopping. We managed not to spend too much money this time! We then went to meet Liz in a pub in Chilwell for lunch. Let's just say we were a little bit late, I blame the directions we were given! Oh well, we still made it and had a very lovely lunch indeed. We got home at about 6pm, and then I think we had some tea and I collapsed into bed! (I admit I am a complete lightweight and one night out finishes me off!)
Monday - Work
Tuesday - Work (until 7pm!)
Today - Work (starting at 7am!). This evening have been to the gym (slight detour on the way to the Kassam Stadium because Ad was going to watch the football, but his friends car broke down, so I had to take them all) and watched Big Brother. Was quite surprised that Eugene took the money, after he cried about a decision over having tea and cakes the other day. Have also fed Dad and Lorraine's fish and watered their plants, AND recorded The Bill for dad. He sent me some sob story email about the signal in the caravan not being very good so he couldn't watch it. I'm quite frankly appalled that he asks me to video it for him. I know full well that if I asked him to ever video Eastenders, or anything else that I like to veg out infront of he would refuse just out of principle.

I hope this account satisfies those of you who have been waiting for me to post something, although I'm sure there aren't that many of you! I'll try and keep up in the future, but after sitting at a computer for the majority of the day at work, I very rarely feel like sitting in front of one at home too, so when I'm busy at work and don't have time for a sneaky update, I might lapse again.
