i forgot all about it!

June 7th, 2000

Sorry peeps, forgot to fill this in last night, i hope you weren’t all too disapointed but have been trying to sort out my cc payments :)
Not really much happened (i was at work!!!) but i have been given the opportunity to get a free :D Nokia 7110 just for fixing a computer… woo hoo!

Oh, I know, Gary (an old mate from years ago) rang me up to ask if i could fix his computer (charming! hehehe) so am going round on friday, will be nice to see him again, I wonder how much he has changed…. we’ll see :lol:

Got two new clients since putting my hosting charges down, and am now in the position (as i said above) of being able to take credit card payments, hurrah! just need to find a way of doing it :rolleyes:
Tried to get to sleep early, nope 1:30ish in the morning, and its really getting to me, i feel like crap now when i wake up, but never seem to be tired when night next comes around?!?

Anyway, at work now, and got a nasty NT bug to go try and sort out…. how much fun will this be?

laterz…. :P

hungry hungry hippos! :P

June 6th, 2000

hey all! well, i got to sleep sooooo late last night, and with work the next day as well :(
Infact, at around 1:40(ish) i got really hungry so went downstairs to the kitchen, and man did i get food :) muffins, chewy bars, LOADS of biscuits and a few glasses of milk disappeared in an instant :)
Didn’t help though, still stayed up until (about i think) 2:30 until i finally went into slumber! :D
It wasn’t so nice going back to work i must say, although i did aim to get quite a bit done, to show that i am worth staying in there :) So planned the new website, and looked into the possibility of the .ac.uk domain ending.

All i need do now, is write a proposal to show to the main man….. :eek: scared!

Too scared to place any more bets now, i sware, once all this is gone, i am NEVER going to bet again, i just want my money back…. plllleeeeeezzzzeeee!!!!

Badgered more people for cash, you know i am currently owed, £20 + £20 + £12.50 + £35, so thats um, £87.50!! No wonder i am so broke (and i only just got paid) :lol:

Keep thinking about the holiday and how great its gonna be! A lot of this is brought on by the amount of house/trance tunes i am getting my hands on, which always make me think of Ibiza…. i guess i am just too nostalgic :D
Finally got my £90 cheque from belgium so the company accounts are now up to date, and will pay all this in tomorrow, the bank balance is quite healthy you know :)
Oh, and Wilbur signed up today! cool! i gave him a discount, so hopefully i will get cheaper chinese (yeah rite! :lol:)

Perhaps i will finally watch Lethal Weapon 4 now, who knows… find out tomorrow :):D:lol:

what happened? stupid latinos…

June 5th, 2000

how could this happen to me, Mexico can only draw (Well ireland force a draw) and I yet again lose my money :mad:
Maybe I am not the betting type (nah, you think? ;)) so will never again put any money on anything, except for the £5 which I have to (stoopid bluesquare).

What can I do it on? I will consult Derrick tomorrow morning, grrrrrr….. GOOD NITE :(

it was a bloody draw! :(

June 5th, 2000

who could belive it?!? How could it possibly happen? France DRAW 2 all with JAPAN?!?! It’s just statistically impossible, and means i lose my £10 :(
Luckily, I still have a bet riding on Mexico beating Ireland, which will win me £10, so puuurrllleaaaseee win Meh-chi-kooo! :lol:

Report back later, so see what has been going on!

i seem to have got a bit addicted

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
