Hi all well
I was meant to go out on friday and was driving to town when I got cancelled on. This was ok as I was shattered anyway. So I came home watched some of the wire and then watched a film with house mates. All in all a good night.
Got up early and went to gym then met up with friend and her child in Kings Heath park. Had a lovely afternoon. Then drove down to the New Forest where I got blasted and spent a very unhappy night trying to get some sleep.
Sunday drove to Oxford and went to mass. I must say that it was one of the most stunning masses I have ever been to and I have been to a lot. Christ Church's choir were there and the mass was sung in latin.
Came home and climbed into bed at 4pm woke up at 3am.

Hi all,
Well its been a long one with much drink and little sleep.
Thur stayed at friends and once again slept on the smallest couch in the world this means that very little sleep happended. Work was hard as hell the next day but that just sometimes is the way.
My little bro who I am buying a house with came up so that he could sign lots of papperwork with the mortgage person. This took about two hours to do. We had a couple of beers to help calm us. We then headed over to my mates where a bottle of vodka, a few beers and at least one bottle of wine. Oh yes I felt the need to go on the pull and dance like a mad man.
Into town we went and ended up in the Academy. Have not been in the place for a while. Pulled a couple of girls. Then headed back to my mates house. I woke up a couple of hours later back on the same couch I had woken up on. My head felt like someone had taken a shot gun to it.
Took little bro and went to magical coffee shop. Was told that I could not smoke even though I was sitting outside. Evil coffee shop.
Anyway dropped bro at train station and went and had a wonderfull luch cooked by friend. She rocks. A couple of bottles of wine were drank. My friends house mate let me crash in her bed she had a nap on her sofa. I got to say that I love my friends. Then sat and watched Miss World for a bit befor heading to moseley for a friends bday.
I left early and heading to bed as speach was becoming a problem. Woke up and have done very little apart from mass this afternoon.
I have signed up to spend most of wen evening on my knees in church. Also I have to fast on fri. This is going to be a slow week.
i have decided to give up fags. I have no clue if I will last. I had given them up in the past for two years. My problem is that I love smoking.
Oh well we shall see.
Big hugs

Hi all,
So its been a few days since I have posted on LJ this is because as I said earlier that I have been looking for a house to buy.
The great news is that I have now found one and made an offer which has been accepted. The down side is that it costs more than the amount I had expected to pay and so have to get a new mortgage. The bloke comes round on wen.
I would just like to say that I love my little bro Elsid who has agreed to buying the house and cope with the extra costs involved without even seeing it. He must be mad.
The house has three bedrooms and is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool. I am so happy that I feel like singing and dancing.
I am buying off a Scottish lady who was a real nice person as well. She was worried that her house would be bought by some one who just wanted to rent it out and not live there themselves. So she is happy as well.
It was the only house that I brought a friend alone to see as well. She thinks its sweet. I must say that I did not enjoy the whole process of going into peoples houses in the evening and meeting the whole family and know that I did not want to buy there house. They all seeemed like nice people and you just new that they were hoping that you were the one to help them progress up the ladder. It just felt strange. I did like looking at the ones that had no one in them. It was great looking in all the rooms and tapping the walls looking for rot.
So I recon I will now be broke for the next few years but as I as used to having no money anyway this does not really matter.
My mate is cool we watched a film with her house mates called memento great film really recommend it. We all had a few and she gave me her bed and she slept on the coach. This is due to her wanting to build stuff at midnight and I had to be at work for about 7. I thought that she was going to come up and kick me out when she had finished but she decided not to. What a star.
Anyway work is for the most part good. I do love helping the homeless because I don't just work with people living on the street but with families that have been evicted by there landlords. Most of the time its just landlords wanting there properties back and so it is not always the fault of the tenant. I work with people from all walks of life suffering from things like domestic violence as well. Really anyone who is losing there home.
As child when my family came over from Ireland, we spend nearly a year living in a hostel for families. There were all 6 of us in one room. So I know whats its like for the families that live in these places, I know how hard it is. No one wants to end up there. I wish that more money could be put into making them better.
Anyway what ever you are all up to this weekend have a great one. I am about to get a beer and watch the lord of the rings.

| House hunting |
[16 Sep 2006|11:28am] |
Well last night went out to pub then house party but was shattered so left early. It was cool to see everyone but just was not in the mood.
Woke up early and was all excited as went to look at a house. Fuck is all I can say they wanted 119,500 for this two bed. I am no expert in these things but I do know bits and bobs about doing up buildings as I spent many many holidays working in the cold being a slave to a bloke with a mixer.
This house had no damp proofing, no central heating and more rot than any I have seen for years. I recon if you had 40 grand then you could make a cracking place out of it.
Oh well never mind.

Why I ask my self do I do such things.
Last night went to see friend who cooked for six with James the food was great and lots of drink was had. Then the idea of snobs was put forward. Well I did not really want to go but I was drunk and fancied a dance. 3 pounds in and 80p a shot and something like the same for a bottle of beer.
The boy james and myself could hardly see about about 1 hour of nearly non stop drinking. Did some dancing and ended up crashing at mates house on the worlds smallest sofa. Had about two hours sleep and went to work at droping by my own house for a shower and shave.
Oh My God did my head hurt managed to get to work and tried to do some and to be fair managed to investigate enough clients that it looks like I did enough. I have a kind boss who said that I should go home and get some sleep. I took this as get lost you smell of beer and look shit.
Came home and passed out, got up and have just had a lovely curry with Alice and some of her mates as it is her Birthday.
Good couple of days

Right had a blast once again must say that I love life.
Friday went to see off Helen my housemate in town. Cocktails two for one bargain ordered 3 so six drinks later was feeling like the start of the weekend.
Headed back to Moseley for another mates leaving do. That is where the night becomes a bit misty. I know that lots of great people were in attendance and a ton of drink went down the hatch. This is where the group split up. Myself and a mate headed of to Richards party. Got so lost its just not funny. Had to call Tony up on serveral occasions.
Anyway got to party and chatted to some people, was accused of sleeping with a lass called Holly had no clue as to who ths may have been, but lets face I don't remember all the names of people I have slept with. Anyway the bloke who was stating this was about 5 seconds from a head butt. I decided to find Tony and ask him. Anyway to cut a long story short it was a case of mistaken identity and all was well.
At about 2 or 3 I headed to the pool that had about two inches of water in it. I was the only person to get in and found that the stopper was not in so sorted that, I was amazed as to find that I had my pants on as I don't normally ware any. Must be getting old or something.
Anyway my mate got me home and woke up with a bastard of a head. The gym just did not happen.
Sat one of my very close mates Chris has written a play and managed to get it put on at Atrs Feast, managed to take Neal along. The play was great I was expecting something just ok but no it was hard hitting and great. Took Neal to an art gallery as well. Had a quite night sat.
Sun went to gym then pub managed to go three times, home for a film then bed.

Hi all well its been a while but Craig keeps on like an old woman about me updating my LJ.
So here goes what was meant to be a quiet weekend, going for a drink with some work mates and then maybe the Moseley festival. So I find myself in town at Poppy Red not wanting to be there I call up Jess and find out that a drunken night is planned at hers.
Got drunk with some wonderful people and woke up feeling like my head had exploded. I came home got sick and went to the gym feeling like crap. Thought I was going to have a heart attack. Came home crawled into bed.
Vix was coming down and I had been told that an operation was to take place on a friend and lots of drink and fancy dress was to be involved. So Once again I find myself heading to Jess's house. Her, Sam and Miranda were have a drink so I opened a can and joined in.
Vix called and we all headed to the pub. Much drinking was done before heading back to Jess's house where the operation was stopped, shame was looking forward to the blood and the screams of pain.
Although Vix in her mad mind came up with human twister. You get 4 drunks. I was included in this madness. Lie them down and then get 4 equally drunk people to climb on top and a mad lady to call the shots. This brought on the crys of pain from all on the floor.
Off to town for a lock in, where even more drink went down the hatch. Great dancing and even better singing took place. Not real sure of the time I crashed but it was not early. A pub lunch had been called. A coke then a pint drank to ease the pain in my head. Conversation was not going to be easy but I was surrounded by the finest bunch of drunks a man can call friends. I left early and headed to mass to pray for my friends health and came back and crashed. Sleep glorious sleep.
Oh my God a ringing in my ears my mother was calling informing me that my brother was trapped at New Street and would I mind collecting him and then getting him back to New Street at 5am so that he catch the 5.20 train to Holyhead.
Well at least Craig got to chat to Thor.
I would like to thank all those that were there for the madness of this weekend. I had lots of great and very happy unexpected things happen.

Hi well it started with a drink on thursday with Niaomi. Sorry about the spelling but any who read this and know me will know that spelling is not my strong point. Meet a couple of her mates in the pub they were cool chatted about Ireland and weddings. Then Niamoi and myself went into town to meet some of her mates from work as one was leaving. All I can is that her mates and her know how to have a laugh loads of dancing and drinking in the pub which was cool. The to DV8 I had a nighmare with my bank card no machine would give me cash no reason for this. So I left and walked home. Very long walk. It was a top night though.
Got up head hurt but it was my last day at work start new job 3 April really looking forward to it. Anyway had a drink at lunch time. My work mates were really nice gave me lots of cash as a leaving present was very touched. Very good bunch of people. Headed to Edwards as luke was running his death metal night. I went as a mate but ended up having a great laugh. Top night mate would recommend it to anyone. Yet again though I found my self walking home as a my friend that I was out with needed to talk.
