My life is so exciting!!

Well not much happened before Thursday last week - went to the gym twice and got all my stuff together for my little break to Portsmouth.  So Thursday morning I took myself off to Portsmouth by train for a few days where I stayed with Ria (and her family).  We went to her friend's 21st fancy dress party on Friday evening where we dressed up as Neo (me) and Ria was batgirl.  We started off in the pub(s) then made our way to a club called Babylon where they play 90's music non-stop and then Ria and I moved onto Martha's which is a gay club (I believe it's the only gay club in Portsmouth!).  We did quite a few shots (yes even Tequila) and I even danced with the girlfriend - appallingly may I add coz I so can't dance!  Saturday we relaxed (no hangover) and then went out for a meal with her parents where I had a juicy sirloin steak.  Sunday we did a little bit of shopping - well Ria did anyway and then Monday we didn't do much

And then it was Tuesday and I nearly didn't get on that train to come home - I was tempted to stay another day and if I hadn't had to sign on at the jobcentre then I would have....all this hassle for a whopping £59.15 p/w!   So I signed on and then they told me I need to have a 13 week interview where I'm sure they're gonna ask me to look further afield, lower my requirements and basically tell me I should work for peanuts....can't wait for that!  I must admit that week commencing 11th February I'm gonna properly look for a job...really I am!

Today (Wednesday) I relaxed (just like any other day for me) and tomorrow I'm gonna go to the gym for a little workout and then in the afternoon I've been summoned to the dentists chair for two small fillings (eek!).  Then Friday it looks like I'm going swimming again - this time Laura and I are going to Mote Park (waves and a flume!) so we'll probably just muck about like last time - you never know we might just do a few widths of swimming too!  Then it'll be Saturday where I have absolutely nothing planned so I may pop down the gym (no promises) and then Sunday.....hmm I'm sure something is happening that day.... ahhh yes I'm seeing Ria again she's down from Sunday evening to Saturday morning (nearly a whole week) so we're hoping to do a bit of shopping, see a film or two at the cinema and maybe even go to a gay bar.  The one downside of being together every-so-often is that it's so expensive coz we wanna eat out or do things and those things always require money....maybe we need to invest in 'free' leisure time ... hee hee.  I'm also hoping to go down to Tonbridge next week to see some of the girls from work and introduce Ria to them so again that's more expense coz we gotta eat, right?!

And I reckon that's a wrap for now.... everything is going great guns and I'm a very happy bunny to say the least.  Ciao for now amigos

I really haven't been up to much to be quite honest.  I'm in the process of applying for one job - a part-time job (part-time money of course) so I'll see how that goes.  Ideally what I'm looking for is weekend work because that way I'll have a couple of days off in the week where I might have the opportunity to see Ria.  Talking of Ria I haven't seen her for two weeks and I won't see her until Thursday but it'll be worth it - absence definitely makes the heart grow fonder.  So from Thursday to Monday or possibly Tuesday I shall be in Portsmouth (well close-by anyway) so I'm really looking forward to that - can't wait.  Yes, it looks like I've become extremely mushy - I blame it on Ria personally!

This week my life consisted of signing on at the jobcentre (wow wee) and cooking two meals - yes I can cook ... but not too often coz otherwise the olds would get used to it!  Yesterday, I signed my life away and re-joined the local gym as I've slowly been gaining some of the weight back that I lost whilst I was travelling.  The toned legs are gradually turning back to jelly!

Today I think I might take myself off to the gym and have a little workout and then later Laura (my sister) wants to go to one of the local leisure pools for a swim so as long as I get to jump over the waves and go down the flume then I'll be happy.

Happy New Year!!  It's been a good couple of weeks since I last did a post which is probably due to the fact that I've been quite a busy bee!  First of course was Christmas where I received plenty of chocolate and presents (not as many from the olds though as they gave me money towards my laptop) but still it was everything that I had asked for.  Let's not forget I also received some gifts from my girlfriend Ria; I got toilet water (eau de toilette of course), some superman socks, yoda slippers and the transformers dvd so I was a very happy bunny.  I bought her some perfume, a teddy bear and a book about the Sound of Music which she loved.  Unfortunately due to the distance between us we didn't see each other on xmas or boxing day - thank goodness for phones!

And then it was Sunday and Ria came to stay for a few days so that we could spend New Years Eve together where I took her out to a chinese restaurant and then came home and spent the rest of the evening drinking vodka and watching tv.  All we wanted to do was spend time together so it was enough for us.  Ria stayed for the rest of the week and during this time I came down with some kind of sickness bug (only the sickness - not the other end aswell!) and so for a couple of days I was feeling rather cr*ppy but Ria looked after me - she was worried bless her!  Unfortunately the stupid bug still hasn't gone and I'm still feeling pretty crook as I type this

I nearly forgot....I took Ria to see The Sound of Music starring Connie Fisher (last time I never saw her) and then went to the Stage Door where Ria managed to get her autograph and a picture with her - Ria was in her element - she loved it!

Nothing occurred over this weekend - I stayed in bed for nearly all of it as I've felt so ill, although Saturday night I did manage to drag my butt out of bed and go for a thai meal to say bye to Jo as she was flying back out to South Africa, unsure of when we'll see her next but safe journey anyway

Also, an update about my travels - I've decided to stick around for a few months and hopefully go to Australia, New Zealand etc around July/August time....with my girl as she too wants to do some travelling.  So in the meantime I guess I'm gonna have to get me a job coz I'm really struggling on the few pennies I get from the government each week plus I won't get it in the ear from mum!

And that's a wrap!! So basically I had a nice christmas with family, good pressies and a fantastic New Year's Eve and a few days afterwards....even if I was rather ill.
