Yeah, i know redundancy is a long way off, well a few months anyway. Did you know that companies actualyl don't have to give you a weeks pay for every year. They only have to give you a weeks pay for every year up to 240 pounds. So at my previous company i got 480 quid.

Buti'm jumping the gun here. Speaking of jumping i was supposed to go and meet that guy at Cannock Chase. Ubfortunately as i was on my way to Cannock this was the exact moment that someone decided to try and jump from junct 9 on the M6. Massive traffic jams, and hail. I think this is a sign from God that this is not meant to be.

On the positive side, i went with a friend from work, A, to look into ice skating lesson at Coventry rink! I told her that i was planning on doing this last week, and she really jumped at the idea. The rink is only a few minutes from her house, so my new mondy nights are going to be driving to her house, changing and then heading off to the rink.

I'm a bit worried about leaving Charlie on his own, but i guess i'll be home for 9, and i can leave him dried food anyway. It's 40 quid, which is a lot, but its 8 weeks so a fiver a session and that includes skate hire.

As far as money goes, i think i'm pretty sorted. I've paid my open hosting bill (which has come from the money that i normally pay for council tax, which isn't due this month), and paid my spice trip off. I still need to pay for breakdown cover. I believe i have transfered some money to pay for it, but it doesn't appear in the last of pending transactions - so later this week i'll find out. From next month i'm definately going to be putting a little away each money so that this time next year i'll be prepared. That feels so good.

I guess the only thing that at the moment is dragging me down, quite literally, is my weight.

Well that, and being forcibly kicked out of my car-sharing group. It's been a case of blokes banding together, rather than rejecting the bully. That makes me a little sad. My confidence over the last 3 weeks has been so badly shaken. That, the lack of supprt from people i thought were friends over my birthday.
