it's been a little while since i last updated this blog but there's not really been much to report and as you may well know i don't want to just fill this blog with one sentence rubbish or complaints about how crap the government or the world is, it's just not really my thing.
so, what has been happening since the last time i updated? well sit down and i'll tell you...
firstly and probably most noticably is that i had my 24th birthday some 20 days ago, it wasn't that big a deal really, it never is, i just went to pizza hut with my mum and sister and then we went round to my nan's where i got some cards and some socks (hey, i like socks), my nan was going to get me a pair of jeans the next time she went to romford market or some place like that, but that hasn't happened yet.
my dad did send some money down, or rather he transferred it to my mum's account about a week before so i could buy myself another graphics card because i had fried my older (and better) one some weeks before and was using an old pc before i got a new card, which was starting to drive me a little mad.
speaking of my dad, some of you (you know who you are) may know that he moved up to scotland in november last year after selling our old house and i moved in with my mum (the plan was i stayed here until he had secured a place and job up there and then i would move up, most of my stuff was moved up there too but things didn't exactly go according to plan...).
well, he's back now, he was missing me and my sister too much and he was just too used to living here to adjust to life back up in scotland. it's good having him back here because we always used to have a laugh together and i've been kinda withdrawn and pre-occupied with other things since he's been gone.
i also got some of my stuff back, not all of it because it was mostly all stored at my cousin's place in his spare room and my dad hadn't actually told any of his family that he was coming back (they would have just tried to talk him into staying or fell out with him trying), he just said that my mum was driving me up in her car to collect some of my stuff and then going back because i had decided i wasn't going to be moving up, when in actual fact my mum was driving up there with my sister in a big box truck to move mine and his stuff back, including his leather sofa and armchair (i am currently sitting in said armchair and very comfortable).
also i put in a claim for income support a number of weeks ago and after much form filling and other nonsense a giro cheque for £305 made it's way through the letterbox along with a letter telling me my claim had been successful, which kinda cheared me up a little, so far i've spent the money on mostly junk food but i still have a lot of it left and i paid the phonebill for my mum, and i plan on going to chelmsford on monday to buy a divx player and pop into cash connections (a bit like cash convertors only a bit less greedy) to see if i can pick up a cheap GameBoy Advance and some other bits that might interest me, they always seem to have some really classic pc games in good condition that they sell cheap.
so that's basically everything that's happened since the last time i updated and hopefully i'll update again soon with something interesting or to make you go "hmm"...
no picture again this blog, can't really think of an appropriate one.
