Had my hopes up that tonight I would of got my 2 stone weight loss, but in the end I stayed the same weight as last week. What made it worse was there is another guy in the same group tonight and he only been there 6 weeks and has lost over 2 stone to date. It all down to me so I can only blame myself, onward and upwards as they say.

I have just joined Facebook, I am not sure what to make of it at the moment, only joined as some family friends really nagged me to and I thought why not (I have had many people suggest I join in the past but never saw the point). All I can say at the moment is it has not got me excited yet.

Decided to finish writing this in the morning (5-30am), just been watching the foxes in the garden, you see so many things at this time of the day you don’t see during the normal hours of the day. I quite often see a heron flying around when I go out to the car at this time of day, never seen it during the normal hours of the day. It is normally quite cool but this morning the heat is still horribly close and sticky, the English weather, were never satisfied are we.

I realised today that you should never leave the driver side sun visor part way down when you get out of the car because it don’t have hurt when it smacks you in the eye when you get back in the car. I must of screamed loudly, even my 9 year old son was concerned I had hurt myself, ended up with a ice red mark at the corner of my eye.

I remembered why I hate Windows Vista this morning, I booted up the laptop as normal and everything seemed to boot OK but then when I tried to click on any of the desktop icon I kept getting a window pop up offering to install a program. The program in question was installed months ago and was un-related to any of the program icons I was clicking on. So I decided to reboot, bad move. The laptop rebooted to a completely new desktop, apparently it could not find my profile so had given me a temporary one. Well after a couple of hours hacking the permission and I managed to get my own desktop back minus some setting. Not the way you really want to start a Monday morning.

Should of gone to the slimming weigh in tonight but we remembered that there was some doubt about to-nights meeting due to other commitments of the leader. We had no calls or text to say it was on or not so we decided to give it a miss and will go to a meeting at another venue tomorrow night. So I have another day to wait to see if I can get beyond the weight loss I am stuck at, won’t say what it is until I get past it, think tomorrow might be a starvation day.

The title say it all really, had a majorly crap week and writing the blog was just not top of my list of thing I wanted to do. Thing have got back on track in the last couple of days, reality bringing us to our senses for once. 

Despite how my week went worked seem to tick along quite nicely which was just as well as I don’t think I could of handled both giving me major grief.

I have been trying to get into Glastonbury on the TV but I just can’t seem to, not sure if it the stress of the past week or the groups I see on TV are just not hitting the mark but I am struggling to be interested.

Went to Cardiff yesterday for the British Speedway Grand Prix, while I enjoyed the racing I certainly was not comfortable being there because of the past weeks events. Was not happy to see a bunch up during the event and not the one seen by TV viewer across Europe but the one in the crowd. While I don’t not what caused it but certainly drink was a major factor. 

Must say for a major event and venue (Millennium Stadium) like this the sound system there was crap, it was extremely loud to the point everything was distorted, the band they had came across really bad due to the lousy sound system, the PA kept cutting out, all in all not a very good advert for the event or the venue.

The event was sponsored by Rockstar Energy drinks, now I never put a lot of faith in these sort of high caffeine drinks. But as we were leaving the Stadium they were giving cans of it away. So I took a complimentary can. We left the car park at 9-00pm and as we drove out of the city I drank my can. I got home at 11-45pm and did not feel tired. I sat there unwinding till 1-00am when I thought that if I go to bed I will fall asleep. At 2-00am I decide that these hi energy drinks do work………..

Well it seems that last weeks problem took more out of me than I realsied has I have very little more to write about.

The alarm went off this morning but my body refused to move, just as well I was working from home today. Yesterday BBQ went well considering the sun legged it once I had got the kids paddling pool out. The friends daughter and my son eventually made it in to the pool by late afternoon. Although I cooked all the meat on the BBQ we ended up eating the meal indoors as it had become so gloomy outside. Considering things were a little strained yesterday the BBQ went quite well.At work BT confirmed they have eventually sorted all out phone lines out that were hit by lightening, only taken like 5 days. Managed to get a fair bit done to day, went to collect a parcel from the local branch only to end up having to replace a load of phone wiring after the fax machine gave up the ghost.Had some good news from work today, we are no longer owned by the Italians, the management bought us out so we are back in British hands, I hate to think what we have spent and lost in fruitless venture over the past few years.Talking of pointless ventures it seems that some supermarkets have taken it upon themself not to serve adult buying alcahol if they are accompanied into the supermarket with their underaged son or daughter. This is dispite the fact that the alcahol is for the adult and dispite the fact that a parent can legally buy alcahol and give some to their son or daughter providing they are over the age of 5Well it is an early start for me tomorrow so I am going to have an early night

I got something today I have not had since I was about 12, a pair of Converse basketball boots. My daughter and son got them for me as a father days gift after a very subtle hint earlier in the year. I ended up getting my third choice as the previous 2 were not available in my size, they are pretty much the traditional style, in black.Not only did I get the Converse’s I also  got a Build a Bear Teddy Bear sporting a “World Best Dad T Shirt”. This bear comes in a box like a pet carrier and is big enough to carry a small dog in. I guess that why I was given it today as they were unable to smuggle it in the house without me seeing. Makes a change from the normal best dad tea mug!!Well the kite flying never happened today, early rain shower along with wind that was marginal and verging on the wrong direction just made it pointless in trying. If I had of gone I would probably ended up being wound up by a miserable day.I actually got round to downloading the pictures from Tuesday night Bike night, from the camera’s this afternoon, just got to go through them and do the processing Well I guess you have noticed the site has changed, while I liked the blue site is was…………..to blue, so I have gone for something that a bit brighter still keeping it simple, must remember to feed the fish
