Hi everyone,

It's getting late and I'm very tired this evening. I think it must be because of all this miserable rain we have here in Essex today. It's not stopped all weekend actually. Anyway...Hope your all OK and recovered from the New Years eve celebrations and back to work. Working hard in whatever it is that your paid to do.

It's been a quiet week really. I've been settling back into work. Which by Tuesday I was ready to need some more holiday! Although I've only got 2 days of annual leave left so am not sure what I am going to do until April! Never mind. So if anyone here has some leave they don't want can they send it to me @hotmail.com LOL. I've not really done much this week. I picked up my new car on Friday which was great. The old banger had to go in the end. It was seriously going to explode, fall apart or something...So I got a lovely little Vauxhall Corsa.

It's only just over 12 months old and is really nice. I've never had a Vauxhall before so wasn't too sure what to make of them but after driving it all weekend I've got on rather well with it. It's probably the quietest small car I've ever been in. It's got one of those automatic and manual gearboxes which like my smart car is ok if your one of these people who likes to do both. I can't see the point in changing gear myself. If you can get something else to do it why bother yourself? It's cheap to tax with a small engine and is so comfortable I really love it. So keep a look out for me in my purple love machine in the near future! If you see me on the streets bib me up.

I managed to injure myself AGAIN this week. I think as I get older I'm getting clumsier (did I spell that right?) This time I managed to shut my hand in the door to the gym and it bled big time. LOL although this is the opposite middle finger from the damaged one the other week. Luckily I carry plasters with me now so I can patch myself up.

Bobby has had a good week. After all the excitement of Christmas he has been resting at home, keeping warm in my bed. I decided to give him a shower the other day which is always a mistake. He likes the bit where I shower him in the warm water and he don't actually mind the shampoo bit either. BUT when we get to the drying off bit he hates it. He goes mad. I ended up running around the house trying to dry him off. LOL He was biting me and growling i think he might be possessed so if anyone know a good exorcist then let me know.

I don't' know if any of you lot are watching Celebrity Big Brother but I thought I should give it a mention. I love CBB and normal BB but this week I haven't had much time to watch it but what I've seen so far has been good. I can't wait to see all them celeb ego's getting just what they deserve, a taste of the real world!

Yesterday night me and a mate went out for dinner which was cool. We went to Nando's in Mile end (East end of London). I love Nando's. I'm not really too keen on the really spicy chicken and have only just progressed to the 'medium' one but I do like it. I had chicken with chips and coleslaw....mmmmmm....could just eat it again now actually.

Thanks to everyone for their comments they left last week. I must say that poor Raks got a bit of a verbal bashing! Last week with his gruff, ruff, rugged voice LOL but it weren't his fault. I think he's been out kissing too many girls that's his problem! I know he's off work now so I guess the office must be a bit on the quiet side in Leicester?

Finally I should just say a little something about poor little Brooke who hasn't been very well this week. Just wanted to say that Uncle Stuart sends his love and hopes she is feeling more herself next week.

I hope you all enjoy your week. Don't work too hard and remember if you got anything you want me to mention on the Blog just send me an e-mail. Thanks again to everyone who left a comment. See you all next week.

Stu
