Happy Birthday to Sally, who were 32 (or something) yesterday.

Friday night me and a load of work mates went out after work for a few drinks. Our Daz came down and we went from Hillsborough into town and had a really good night.

Saturday was a really long day as I had to sort Tim and Laura’s leaving party. Went to Meadowhall early on with Sally to pick up some clothes and some presents then came home about 2pm to get some photos of us all to put up at Minnies. Was a great night to see Tim off, had loads to drink (surprise) and had a good laugh.

Sunday me and Dave went to celebrate ‘Tim Day’ (without Tim) with Sunday Lunch and loads of beer. I felt like a big barrel of pants yesterday

Just got home and I happy to say we won. We played well, the dingles came close - but not close enough. Now go home to that shed of yours.

I got a ticket to go see the Owls V Barnsley at Hillsborough tomorrow night. I hope we stuff them, and if it go’s the opposite way I will be upset. Especially to sit there in the freezing cold watching those dingles.

England have crashed out of the Euro 2008, after a terrible display against Croatia. Read the article at the BBC (but then again, don’t bother).

Ok I’ve just booked (hopefully) 2 tickets to see the Pumpkins play in Nottingham on the 14th of February and 4 tickets for the Manchester show on the 15th.

Thursday I will drive down with a mate to see the show and drive back after, ready for the ultimate weekend on Friday.

Congratulations to Scott, who graduated from University today.

Yes you heard it here - Smashing Pumpkins are to play in the UK on the following dates;

1. February 14, 2008 - Nottingham Arena - Nottingham, UK
2. February 15, 2008 - MEN Arena - Manchester, UK
3. February 16, 2008 - O2 Arena - London, UK

You better believe I will be attending the Manchester show. I will be celebrating my 28th Birthday that weekend so Manchester here we come!

Ok now the Photo Gallery is now ready (Tom should be happy, he wants to see the Ibiza photos). Many thanks to Aaron Harp for providing Fotobook, such a great space saving script!

After an eventful weekend, today is the start of a new eventful week. Today is my Mums 60th Birthday in which we are all going for a meal at the Garrison in Hillsborough. The rest of the week basically consists of lots of work (nothing unusual there then!), hitting the gym at about 6pm for 45 minutes then working on a Web Project to get completed for the weekend.

I’m also looking forward to 9 hours sleep every night. I love sleep. Sleep is great. Sleep good.
