Tennis and Town
Just had another game of tennis with Mike, I played absolutely shockingly bad, especially in the second set but somehow still won in the end :-D 6-4 2-6 7-5
Went into town this morning to cash the money from my birthday - always worth getting up early on saturday for! Bought a few bits and bobs for going away too and the new Zutons album.
Only two weeks on tuesday til I go to Rome :-D Can't come soon enough, although I still need to look into things to do there, not that there's likely to be a lack, i think it'll be more a problem of getting everything we want to do into four days! I'd quite like to go to Pompeii and Mount Versuvius, there are quite a lot of day tours from Rome there, just quite a long way to go that's all.
Pub time now I think.

2-0
Woohoo! Not only did England win 2-0 against Trinidad & Tobago, which is obviously a good thing... but I won £25 :)
I had a free fiver bet on them winning 2-0 with SkyBet at 5:1 odds!
Basically I only did it because I get a weekly newsletter from Martin Lewis at MoneySavingExpert.com, which is a site I would highly recommend! He's quite well known actually, does radio shows etc Most of his stuffis like what credit cards to get the best deals on and various loopholes and ways of gettings something for nothing.... Which is always good!
This was the only gambling type thing he's done, but since it was money for nothing it had to be done. And I made 25 quid out of it!
So far i've made over £85 out of just reading that site, you really can't complain at that! - The other £60 was from selling my old mobiles through envirofone.com (which I wouldn't have found out about if it wasn't for that site!).
Anyway, tomorrow, short day at work then lots of eating and drinking. Red Hot Buffet Shack MMMmmmmmm......
I have put a lot of links in this post haven't I? I think I should be paid by these people to advertise their sites! Kind of like my own google adwords...? Maybe not :-|

Lancaster and Beer Gardens
Just got back from Lancaster this afternoon. Had a good weekend up there, most of the time spent drinking! We started drinking in a beer garden yesterday morning about half 11, before the football and ended up out all day - with a short gap in the middle.
Got a bit burnt as it was stupidly hot in the beer garden and we sat there about 3 hours! Haven't had an all-dayer like that in a long while, suprisingly though I am reasonably un-hungover today although I did drink a lot of water last night. Mostly because at about half 12 one of us had to go home cos he was so drunk ;) So thought i'd better sober up a bit. Glad I did!
Bit of a mad week, so I think it's an early night tonight before work tomorrow!

Poole Trip
Just got back from a few days in Poole... Sadly, wasn't a holiday, we were on one of the graduate scheme courses for work, but it was so nice down there it might as well have been! To start with the hotel was very very nice. A place called Sandbanks between Poole and Bournemouth.
That was the view from the patio at the back of the hotel. I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting somewhere to stay down that way. Very nice hotel.
The weather has been so good as well we just didn't want to come back!
Wasn't too bothered though, because I'm now going on holiday in four weeks! On a very spontaneous act from me, which is pretty unsual, I'm going to Rome from 11th to 15th July with Claire. It was literally just thought up the other day and Claire had it all booked and sorted while I was still in Poole!
No more moaning about not going on holiday this year now. Can't wait, I've never been to Italy, should be well good. We got a really good deal as well from lastminute.com. About £180 for four nights in a four star hotel including flights and insurance.
Badminton tonight. As much as I love playing it, it's mental when it's this hot, remember when we played at uni in the summer, so so warm. It's all good fun anyway. Dunno how good i'll be tonight though, cos I'm absolutley knackered, not had much sleep this week as you can imagine with 12 other graduates and a seafront full of bars!
Right anyway, better go and sort my stuff out for tomorrow, off up to Lancaster for the weekend....
Why is it I go from being stupidly bored to having so much to do I dunno where to start!!! Not complaining though :)
