i seem to have got a bit addicted

Sunday, June 4th, 2000

Just a shorty this time, cause i wanted to add a bit of suspense to my little world. :rolleyes:
William Hill were doing another thing along the lines of BlueSquare whereas you make one bet and you get money back to put on another.

So, i’ve now got 2 bets riding, 1 for £10 on the france vs japan match, and then £5 (which actually gives back £9.60) on mexico beating republic of ireland. :D
Atm , Bluesquare still aint working, so i do still have £10 there, hopefully it will be back up for later so i can put it on the Holland match. :eek:
Nevermind, will find out if I won anything later on… watch this space :D

cheryl i forgive you :) Martika, will reply when i wake up :D

Hello people, back on my REAL computer today after that awful experience with the Psion yesterday :( Got some excellent house tunes here which i just downloaded from Napster :) That thing rules, i would have NO way of getting them otherwise ;)
I had planned last night to put the other £10 bet on the England game today, but the stupid site bluesq.com was down for ‘routine matinatence’ (or however you are supposed to spell it :)) so couldnt do it. I’ll check again tomorrow to see what other things I can do.

Hadn’t really arranged to do anything today (except get Die Hard II from Blockbuster) so when I woke up i just put on the TV :D Kane was featured a lot in WWF today … woo hoo! (yeah I’m 19, so what?!? ;)) which went on until about 2pm.

Tom hijaked the computer to do all his GCSE revision, bless him, i never did any and hey, look at me!! (hmmmmm….. ;)) well, i’m in a good enough mood now!

Parents went out somewhere, but then must have thought i did something good as dad brought me back the new Bon Jovi album - Crush. I was quite overcome actually, and it saved me quite a bit of ca$h. Haven’t listened to it yet, but i needed it to keep my collection going (i have all the bon jovi albums from the start, i used to be a great fan). Infact, I would have liked to have gone to the concert over here in August, but unfortunately it is whilst i am on holiday :(
Yeah, i was supposed to be going out this evening with cheryl to either Catch 23 (which sounds soooooooo cool) or just to get pissed, however she instead went out with someother people, grrrr, she was lucky she never did that when we went out ;) :D
So i was forced to contact someone else, did I? did I f*ck :) I just stayed in and listened to some most excellent hard house. like i said above, have downloaded a lot more as well, hey, BK is a very cool dude :)
Been on the Liv4Now page reading thorugh all the forums :) some people on there are just plain weird… but then, well, each to their own (mmm…. britney in schoolgirl uniform :D)… can’t wait to start going out with someone again… HAHAHAHAHAHA! :D
What else of interest, hmmmm, not a lot, this week has been pretty damn relaxed and not a lot has been accomplished. Today was supposed to be when i did my sw11online site, but that seems to have tailed off now.

Yeah, like I said in the title, Martika i will reply to your mail tomorrow (Well today really) when I wake up, just not in the mail mood atm…

From the distant depths of london… to you my friends, goodnite!

i am writing from a psion!

Saturday, June 3rd, 2000

cool! i forgot to write my diary tonite and was only reminded when cheryl told me whilst i was in bed!

So, what have i been doing today then??

Okay, well i woke up nice and early (well, only 11:45 :D) after getting to bed at around 3:30. Today was the last day of my holiday so i intended to do something worthwhile. Did i? nope :) Just went on the computer until about 1:30, but then decided to cook tom a nice lunch of bolognese, chicken and fried mushrooms, all prepared with some most uplifting trance on at the same time :D
After lunch, set off the download of quake II, which i had started earlier, but then cut off, which took 3 hours to download and was absolutely CRAP!!

Went up the common to work on sw11online, but had to come back quite early to have tea, which was a very nice takeaway curry…. mmmmm.. :)
Then I’m afaird it was more surfing/playstation (i really have perhaps wasted my holiday just a bit) where I saw this great thing about online betting, the idea being if you put £10 on, you get a free £10 which you can instantly take back out, so i put it on, bet on Spain to win their Euro group and thought ok, now get it back.

NOPE! You cannot withdraw the free £10 :( So i have to hope spain win!! Nevermind, i’m gonna put the other £10 on england tomorrow.

Man typing on this Psion is bloody hard, does this make any sense??? i cannot write anymore!! ciao :)

updated all my sites, and watched films

Friday, June 2nd, 2000

Oh, almost the last day of my holiday today (tomorrow is) and boy will i miss it.

Managed to set an alarm today which woke me at 10am, although switched it off and went back to sleep until 11:45, it was nice sleep, so warm and cosy :)
Woke up and did some admin to my main site to get it working with the new domain extention, and then checked out everything else was working.

Got lunch at around 2, had a cheese and tomato pizza, which was actually rather horible! :P Euch!

Then went up to my room to watch the Assassin on DVD, one of my most favourite films, you know, the one with Bridget Fonda and Harvey Cartel. The cleaner bloke is spooky, especially when he puts the acid on people :(
Started to download Quake II (my poor machine here wouldn’t handle much else, but cut it off when i realised it was over 39 meg :D
Went to cheryl’s for tea, mmmm, chicken gougans, which were most delicious, however not enough were cooked… take note mrs m :D and then did the usual routine of watching eastenders, bill and friends.

Oh, actually, did get to look at marc’s copy of the FHM worlds 100 sexiest women, which did perk up my day :) As expected (and i definately know why) Jennifer Lopez came number one, although Cheryl says she “ain’t all that!”, poor girl, must be really screwed in the head :):D:P

Am looking into the type of content that can go on sw11online.co.uk which is gonna be my guide to the local area, difficult picking all the sections and such, never mind i will succeed, probably start it tomorrow!

Now just about to log off and go watch some TV, hopefully will be able to sleep tonite and not way into tomorrow morning :D
nite nite all, sweet dreams……. :P
