So this weekend Katie and I went down to London to meet up with Chris, Lou, Jon, Amelia and Amelia’s brother Hugh for Amelia’s 30th birthday.  We all stayed in the yha across from St Pancras except for Chris and Lou who tooj their time deciding if they were going to come and ended up staying in some B&B further away.

It was good to see everyone again although at the moment its almost like the summer of Garner’s, we’ve seen my family over the last 2 weekends and we have another 2 big family events to come.  I think that Katie might be getting withdrawal symptoms from not seeing her family

The night was good although to be honest I got a bit carried away and had a few lemonades and then I don’t really remember much I do think at one point I had a Jaeger Bomb as always the photos are up on flickr.

Sunday Katie and pottered around London for a bit heading off to Spittlefields market and trendy Shoreditch for a few minutes I was quite captivated by the market and the whole vibe of the place and considered moving there before I realised that it would cost a fortune.  Oh well there’s always the lottery.

Well last night both Chris and Jon accepted the role of best men at the wedding, while Karl, Gary and Bob are going to be ushers.  Of course what the ushers don’t realise is that I will make them wear pageboy suits with shorts <Insert Evil Laugh Here>

A Happy Birthday to my little brothers Chris and Jon on turning 26.

I must mention well done to my little brother who has just gotten his results for his degree in Physiotherapy.  He got a first,  well done Jon you worked hard for it and got it, we are all proud of you.

Now the next step actually getting a job and getting the real world and leave the academia behind you

 Yes baby, yeah search me serach me.  Ms. Dewy is a new search engine which polls its results from Windows Live Search, it takes a while to load as its a flash and if you leave her for a while she get’s a bored and tries to get your attention so maybe its not totally safe work.  You can try her out here.

I have just come back from a crunch session with the IT crowd at work.  We are in the process of migrating everyone over from NT4 domains to Active Directory.  What a pain everyone is going mental moaning about how long it will take there laptop or PC to be migrated and there was no sort of system setup for the migration.  Luckily I more organised these days and managed to setup a system to monitor the laptops as they come.  The room I was working in though was very very warm.  About 12 computers, and 6 guys all working together next time I think that I will wear shorts .  Hopefully the guys will get everything done in time however they have 120 machines to do in 2 weeks and it can take anywhere from 45mins to an hour and a half to upgrade a PC.  I have a feeling I my be called back next week!

I did get to spent sometime with Jon and Amelia as I was staying over in their new pad while working in Epsom.  Its very nice on three floors , white and very modern looking.  They are currently waiting for BT to fix their line as when I was round there broadband was up and running however (and this is very unfortunate) they next day there telephone line went down and it won’t be fixed till this Saturday.  Jon was gutted to say the least only managing about 2 hours of 8mb speed before losing it for a couple of days.  I was very envious until I found out that at some point Demon will be upgrading my line free of charge, I have my fingers crossed because I needs them speeds!

Happy mother’s day…mum I’m sorry that i couldn’t be there with you today but I hope that you had a nice day and I wish you all the love and happiness in the world, I will see you seen

Lots of Love

Right, now I just need to say this from the off, I love Katie I think she’s best girlfriend in the world. The reason for this being I have just had one of the best weekends ever. Katie organised a surprise for me which had apparently been sorted out for ages. I met Jon in the Science Museum (where we watched a totally ace imax film called Deep Sea 3D as you can see I look great in my 3D glasses), again another surprise and had a great day walking around looking at stuff and went for dinner at Chillies with Amelia as well. (I’m sorry for the choice I rememeber it being so much better, thinking about it now we should have gone into Pizza Express).

Katie had also bought me a new t-shirt I had been admiring which she had sneakly hidden into the bag of clothes she packed (she’s a sneaky devil). We then spent a wonderful Sunday walking around london looking at the Science Museum in a bit more detail, the Natural History Museum and also the Tate Modern.

It was as an fantastic weekend and helped to get my mind right off work during this code crunch time!

Thanks baby your the best :*

Have been to the Sea Life Centre in Birmingham today, I would just like to say that although the £11.50 to get in is very pricey the whole place is just fascinating. Check the whole underwater corridor where they keep the sea turtles is brilliant check this link for the flickr album. Also check out the side links for all the Christmas photos
