Ok i have several things i was meaning to blog about but just haven't had the time!
First, xmas review; it was good, had plenty of time to see family and friends back in Hereford (almost 2 weeks).....ahhh to not work in retail!
Highlights; presents-wise i got some cool stuff. Originally i was quite adament and stubborn that i did not want anything and most importantly JUNK, i was hit by a barrage of 'but i need to get you something.....' and so i had to take matters into my on hands and make a list. After scraping the barrel i found a few things i wanted and so overall i got some good stuff; trainers, NHL11, an iron, Casio scientific calculator and a sick Gerber multitool!
oh, and this.......
Got one at work and it is awesome, makes washing up so easy so i had to get one! At first my mum didn't believe me, i sent her my list with links on and she sent this link back with the comment 'are you sure about this?' thinking i had supplied the wrong link and meant something else haha!
Anyway, caught up with some old local school/college mates which was good, ended up playing football for the first time in a long while as i've hardly played at all since i've been in Manchester :( so was knackered fairly easily after that! But let me tell you.....the magic is still there (haha)!
The local pub also reopened in my village (The Volunteer). I had probably only been to it around twice before in my life but now that's doubled as we ended up there for a few drinks one night and the family went there for one on Xmas Eve. Overall its done nicely, hopefully it can stay for a good while!
Had to go to Chester for the 28th as Cat was working her last 2 days of work at HBOS and would subsequently be on her own for New Years eve. We ended up spending time with mates from Uni and New Years actually turned into a decent night, despite the bright idea to go to Wetherspoons just before midnight as it was dead and we could get to the bar. Little did we know it was due to shut bang on 12 and the New Year was greeted by a bouncer tapping me on the shoulder and saying 'drink up, we're closed!' (as i'm downing the rest of my bottle of Koppaberg). Then headed to Havanas, it was free in and not ridiculously busy considering the occasion which seemed to round it off fairly decently.
Overall, a good and constructive holiday period!
(the location of the post is Marden but im actually in Manchester cause i'm late with this post.....)
