Bought the house, moved in, decorating. Getting married soon. Update over. I will never keep this up to date but I will tell you about my holiday. Me and Lizzie went to a b&b in a little village called Barford. It was gorgeous, the owner had restored beautifully. We had homemade bread for breakfast every morning.

Sat - Arrived, went to watch the champion's league final in leicester with Al, Pepsi and Graeme. It was great to see them. We had some drinks after and went to a club. The music was great and we all danced loads.

Sun - Met my parents for sunday dinner. Was good to see them. Went swimming in Bedworth

Mon - Went to Warwick Castle. It rained all day but we had fun. Also went round Warwick town and did a little window shopping.

Tue - Went Swimming in Stratford and then lazed around Stratford. In the night we met up with Nic and watched "Withnail and I" in a cool little bar in Coventry.

Wed - Sorted out loads of wedding stuff in Cov. Had an excellent meal in Warwick at the Rose and Crown.

Thurs- Swimming again in Stratford and mooched around town.

Friday - Stratford again. watched 2 plays. there were only 3 people in the audience for the the first one (including us). The second was a one man show of midsummer night's dream.

Sat - Came home.

I'm hoping to keep this more up to date as a way of staying in touch with my friends. I realised that I haven't updated this for a while and I plan to change that.

I won't go into what has happened in the 142 weeks since posting last. The main thing is that me and Lizzie are buying a house together. It's a terrace house and we should be moved in by the end of November.

Today me and Lizzie went to Haworth. It's a beautiful town in Yorkshire where the Bronte sisters grew up. We went in the Bronte museum there. The parsonage they used to live in has been converted into the museum. Lizzie loved it. To be honest I wasn't even sure which books they had written but finished the day knowing their life story.

We went to a cafe and I ate loads of good food. Then we went for a walk in the sun on the moors.

We have been off work for the past week and have another week off. Yay!

Your girlfriend talks you into letting her put pink nail varnish on you. She later tells you she has no nail varnish remover (Which she knew all along). You have work the next day. How mean/funny is this?

Well it’s been a long time since I've posted. I usually leave long gaps between posts only to find there's not that much write home about. Things have changed a bit. Now I don't like to brag but things are just really good for me at the min so it might sound like I am but I'm not. I'm just sharing and I'm not going to apologise.

I'm so happy! I've just got a new position at work that's more interesting and better paid. Although I've also been moved away from my friends. Karma maybe? The main reason for my happiness is my wonderful girlfriend. I'll spare you the cheesy, how much I love her stuff. She knows how I feel. Things are going great. We've seen each other for the past 4 weekends. I've managed to get her a temp job so she'll be staying with me for a little while soon too. I'm very excited and she is too.

And now for some boring news. My crappy car nearly (but not quite) broke down on me on fri. It made a horrible noise and I stopped, noticed a partially ripped belt so I called the AA. If I had a cutting implement of any description I would have cut the loose bit off and drove home, but I didn't. So I basically called the AA man and waited 1 h 20 min (which wasn't all bad) for him to turn up with a pair of scissors. I felt a bit silly but hell I wasn't going to take a chance with mine and Liz’s safety driving an obviously dodgy car. So anyway, it got temporarily fixed and I drove a less obviously dodgy car home. Cost £50 to fix which wasn't too bad but I could have done without.

I found a long lost note book today when I re-arranged the room. In it was a quote which I'll leave you with. Make of it what you will,

'Defend the truth until your death, for the truth will set you free.'
