Hey ho. Halfway through the weekend already. How depressing.

Managed to squeeze in some retail therapy today (well, yesterday now seeing how it's midnight which technically means it's now Sunday) which done the job nicely. No sure my Bank Manager will agree but who really cares? Had to start my Christmas shopping anyway because if I leave it I'll be running about on Christmas Eve trying to get everything. Not good for my stress levels. I've also got lots of birthdays coming up before Christmas which is a bit of a pisser. Managed to sort most of them out today also. Hey, my birthday is in December which can be shit. No one's got any money left so I get half the presents that I would have got if I had been born in June. Not that I'm ungrateful...

My diet has been really crap. Will power is non-existent at the moment. Must go to the gym tomorrow and work off all the nonsense I've been filling my face with. Either that or book an appointment with my surgeon...now there's an idea...

I was feeling kinda shit tonight. Got a nice text from someone I know and I've been nothing but a git to them for the past few months over something really stupid. I guess we maybe got a bit too close and I decided to stir things up a bit - as I do. Tactless, blunt, in your face...that's me.

Anyway, I think it's time for my bed becuase I'm going to attempt to drag my lazy self up at a reasonable time so I can go to the gym. Watch this space...

Got back from Newcastle yesterday. Fab weekend, such a difference from the norm. I have to say that people in Newcastle are so much nicer and friendlier than anyone I've met here! Definately go back soon.

Back to work today. Oh what joy! I better get my ass back to the gym this week as well. Me and my mate stuffed our faces at the weekend because we both chucked the diet for our drinking spree. God I feel fat.

Just been phoning about for car insurance. Runs out on the 31st of the month so I really should get it sorted. Got a quote for 375 quid which is the best yet. Think I may just go with that.

Right, I'm going to get off my backside now and get some things done in the house.

Went to the gym today. God it's hard work! I ended up booking a Body Combat class for 9.30am tomorrow. That's wrong for a Sunday.

I was also at the cinema today seeing Howl's Moving Castle. What a weird film. It was a bit long and confusing? Not the best for kids.

Going to Newcastle next weekend with my mad mate. Just trying to get tickets for a train, bloody expensive though. It'll be a fab night out, make a big change from the usual haunts. Wahey, watch out, here we come!
