Wii-arm

Too much nintendo Wii I think, these past few days I've been playing hours of Wii sports mainly bowling and Tennis. I'm now a pro bowler with a score of 1056 and I'm also a pro tennis player score 1843.

With all this playing I've now got the famous wii-arm for those of you who don't know I found this description on the web.

Wii-arm

This happens when you over-play the Nintendo Wii.

Your arm begins to ache, and somewhat burn slightly... Using your arm for any kind of quick movements, or outstretching of the arm generates pain.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - The book is finally out and we all took a trip into town yesterday to purchase it, I now wish we had got two copies as my partner Vicki is hogging it so far she has read over 250 pages and I've only read two chapters.

At this rate she will finish the book by the end of the weekend, which means it is ALL MINE!!

In the meantime I think I might watch The Goonies today as Vicki got it for me the other day as it's one of my favourite films when I was a kid.

The Forgotten Blog

Naughty me!

I started off well, with posting once a day but just recently I've been fairly busy and not very creative when it comes to making a post. Just lately there doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day to do everything I would like to do.
Here's just a few things which have been consuming my time.
  1. The day job - I've been tasked with a new project which if I do well could result in me getting a new Job title and perm position with this company.
  2. Business Accounts - Believe it or not I have an accountant who does this but I'm not very organised so when it comes to the end of the quarter I have to make sure I've printed out copies of invoices, receipts etc and that they match the statement I keep telling myself why don't I get more organised and print the darn things out as I get them.
  3. The family and Harry Potter - We have just finished watching The prisoner of Azkaban on Sunday and Chloe can't wait to see the next one.
  4. Web Hosting - For those of you who don't know I run a Web Hosting company and own two servers in London this past week I've been upgrading the server software and also automating some of the website features.
  5. Command & Conquer Tiberian Wars - Need I say anymore.
  6. Sleep - Currently getting 7 hours a day

What's going on with the weather hopefully it will stop soon and we get some nice sunshine; on Sunday our road was flooded and we live nowhere near a river or a stream etc.

I seemed to find it funny with the cars going by and the amount of water on the road, I guess I wouldn't have been laughing if the water got any closer to our front door though.

The 8 miles I cycle to and from work each is proving hard work in this weather as well, as a lot of it is uphill with the rain and the wind last Friday I was almost tempted to turn around and get the bus, however I just thought of the money I would be saving not doing that.

Well there you have it a slightly longer post whch hopefully will make up for the lost days.

Games....

Well its almost two days since I've last posted since Sunday we have caught up with missed Doctor Who episodes, and watched Harry Potter Chamber of Secrets. Chloe my daughter has only just got into Harry Potter so we are now trying to watch a film each weekend I forgot how long they go on for!

Apart from watching TV I'm afraid to say I'm hooked on Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars, currently ranked at 142,573 Worldwide . I've worked out that i play better as Scrin but I've got a long way to go until I get a decent rank..

I've also managed to chip a tooth or it's just falling to bits, tried calling the Dentist today to get an appointment to be told that my account is blocked due to an unpaid bill, the same bill which I paid last year and at that time I also had arguments with the debts collectors about it being paid, and also the dentist.

So now I have to wait 24 hours for them to look it up on the system and speak to a manager, before I can arrange an appointment to get my tooth checked out....

At least the treatment is good, but their money handling skills is terrible.
