The reunion

Quick and to the point - busy :D

On Friday I went out with Haze/Jay/E/Ben and Gareth for a few drinks in the strand. Then home on my own – Yvette was camping with the girls.

Saturday played footy – won 5-2. Goals from Jay and E - Ben played too after a shaky start he was cool. We were at a new ground, which includes a bar and they provide sausages and chips included in ground rental! WOOOOOOOO

Got home and watched Liverpool with Jay/ben/E/Martin/sheps/gray/con– had hair cut – went shopping – bought 2 boss shirts and boss t-shirt and peter wearth shirt- all for £90 BARGAIN - the t-shirt was the most expensive.

Watched west brom with all the above.

Went for a curry with Jay/E/Martin/Sheps/Gray/Con and hazel. Then met up with everyone else at the conservatory and few drinking games later went to MODA!! Haha shite club but last club open which we used to go to at uni.

Then Jay/e/martin/Sheps/Gray/con and hazel all went back to mine and started to go through my ipod collection and singing :D till 4am :D

Haze and martin went home rest stayed at mine.

In the morning we styed in and watched footy- they all left and ben and I went to james house for Caz birthday BBQ – then home and watched ghost rider. Ben stayed in spare room.

Monday got up watched school for scoundrels – haha very funny

Then I picked Yvette up from cribs had a look around and came home and chilled with her.

minted weekend

Hello everyone (or just Ben & Tosh maybe judging by the posts!)

I just wanted to send a quick message to say thanks for the emails and messages you sent me, it was lovely to hear from you and very much appreciated.

Things are getting easier I guess, I can't believe Ethan was born almost a month ago! His funeral went as well as we could of hoped and it stayed dry and sunny which was good since all the reports were predicting a downpour! We received the bill for it this weekend - £395! Ouch! And that's with the funeral directors doing all their stuff for free! Still, the funeral directors were lovely and couldn't have done anything any better so I guess money well spent.

I had my first day back at work today, I managed a whole morning before being in floods of tears and being allowed home. I was hoping to be able to go in and take my mind off things but I had lots of well wishers etc. I'm getting quite used to being sat here watching daytime tv, I think I need a lottery win to make it a long term thing!!

Anyway I won't go on, I'm not sure how comfortable people are with me talking about it - two of the people in my office won't even mention what happened and act as if i've not been away which is fine but i'm ok talking about it so that's equally fine!...well as long as no one minds a few tears...which thinking about it you can escape online :)

So, I still think i'll give the reunion a miss at the weekend. How did the reunion go this weekend just gone? Don't forget to post some photos on Facebook or somewhere, it will be good to see how people look nowadays!

Speak soon my dears xxx

just thought i would tell you

Yvettes Exams

Yvette passed 3 more accountancy exams :D

Highest meal ever.........bar in a plane

A few of us (including James) went to the CN Tower last night, it is the worlds tallest building. I had booked us a table in the 360 resturant - as the name suggests it goes all the way around the tower and also rotates. So we sat in our chairs and the revolved slowly as we were eating. it was cool.

I have been before but it is still amazing. After dinner we went to the viewing floor and went out on the glass floor. One of the guys with us hates hights but he did it fair play. Actually he was shitting it in the lift (will post video on FB).

Today I am leaving and will arrive in Chelts go to sleep then drive Yvette up to Edinburgh. busy busy.

Hopefully I might see my pals soon?

Baseball

I went to see the Baseball last night - LA Angels V Toronto Blue Jays. It was actually pretty cool. All the scoring was in the first innings with the Jays going into a 4-1 lead and thats how it ended with the bottom of the 9th not needed to be played.

Still dont like the north American chants that are the same for every team and every sport. They dont make them up like in the UK. dont think you will get "Posh spice takes it up the arse" at LA Galaxy. unless they sing it to the Organ music.

Tonight for our last night we are up the CN tower to the resturant - should be good.
Tomorrow 1/2 day then coming home.

Toronto

so we landed ok in Toronto on sat. Got to hotel ok and checked in. James and I have a nice suite. (not the same beds though!)

sat night we went out for dinner - to rich tree - its a resturant with lots of different "market stalls" where you pick your food, you get your card swiped then go to the next stall for drinks etc - its minted, pick and choose type of food to try. At the end you pay for what ever is on your card.

Sunday james and i went to the gym then met up with a guy called paul and went out shopping, but they open at 11 am so we wandered around aimlessly until they opened. I bought a pair of nike frees :D going back to Oakley tomorrow :D

Sunday night we went to watch the new Bourne in a MASSIVE cinema- had a floor full of food places (KFC/Burger king etc) minted film.

Before the cinema we went to Hooters :D after the "oo we are going to hooters" it ended up just like a normal place like TGI/sports bar although the women are waering less - but after 5 mins the fact that we were in Hooters ended and just chatted and watched the 4 plasmas each with different sports on it!

Tomorrow we will hopefully go to the Baseball.

Here is a picture of what i can see out my office window:

My Weekend and Selwyn Gribble

Well the weekend consisted of two consecutive days off work, which i filled with activities.

Friday went to see Russ and Catherine in the Slug, it was a fun evening. Went home slept on the sofa whilst watching films. Saturday did my laundry for most of the day, was supposed to go for some drinks with Jay, Becks, Russ and Catherine, but by the time they finished there meal it was quite late for drinks (9.40), so since iwa at Tosh's with Yvette we watched a film with Mandy Moore in it called "Because i said so", a chic flick but with Mandy in her underwear at one point i did not mind, oh and Piper Perabo was in hers too. Went home and again slept on the sofa and watched crouching tiger, hidden dragon from behnd the closed lids of my eyes 3 times. Failed to see any tigers or dragons at all. Sunday i went to meet my Mum and Selwyn in Broadway for lunch. Got my birthday presents from my mum, some clothes from Next, more on these in a bit. Had a loverly roast in the Swan, yum yummy. Ice cream for afters. Walked round the shops for a bit, then returned to Chelts to see people in the Lansdown. On the way back i took my new clothes to Next and exchanged them for a T-Shirt that has the Godfather Logo on it and a Shirt,my mum said she did not mind me swapping them since i tried to convince her i would wear the stuff she got me but it was shocking so she saw thru me. Anyway back to the lansdown, fun and frolics were had, rusrty should upload so amusing videos of the activities for you all to see on facebook. After about 5 hours we went back to the Muckletts and got a Thai, which was ace. Watched Outbreak on ITV2, slept on Tosh's sofa, then came to work this morning.

Amusing Selwyn Hospital Story
Whilst in hospital the doctors had a bit of fun with Sel and the scan of his clot in his heart. There were a number of new doctors that had just finished their training, so they were shown the scan of the clot and asked to point out which person on the ward it was. So looking around the ward they see people in their beds and at the far end is Sel, sitting in an armchair, in shorts and T-shirt, doing the crossword, looking fit as a fiddle. All the new doctors say "oh its diffinatly not him", once they find out it is slowly over the next few days them all visit Sel to take his pulse and do some checks. Most people with a clot on their heart have an irregular heart beat but not Sel, heart of an Ox. Oh they also took my mums blood pressure when she was visiting and she almost blew the machine up since hers was quite high.

The End

Toronto

Just to let you know I will be in Toronto as from tomorrow. Will be coming back next friday then sleeping and then driving up to Edinburgh to see my Aunty.

I will be online - just 5 hours behind.

Selwyn Home :)

Just to let you Blog viewers know Selwyn is back at home now. The Blood clot went thru his heart and is now above his lungs. He is on wolferine now for the rest of his life to stop clots developing again. We have to wait to see what happens with this clot as he may need surgery to get rid of it if it does not go on its own. Which could mean Open Heart Surgery, which i hope is not the case.

He says thanks for all the messages sent to him on Facebook, i thank you all too he is a great guy who deserves to get better :)

Off to Toronto
