Uni, the gym, a problem with my plumbing in the bathroom, my fences falling down in my back garden, picked up a new customer at work who's quite demanding, organising my car for repair after a bus hit me not long ago, trying to find time and money to celebrate all my friends birthdays cus the thoughtless gimps were all born within a month of each other, etc etc.
All genuine reasons why the last few weeks have felt like a bloody lifetime and to make matters worse I come back here to find I've got pages and pages of new threads to read.
Anyhoo, went out with my mates last night (another B'day thing), we went to a comedy club till about 3am which was great. We got to talking about the London trip and only me and one other can afford it this side of xmas which really pissed me off. I'm seeing them again for a drink in the week sometime so I'll have another talk with them when the girlfriends aren't around, see if I can twist their arms a bit.
The one mate who can come is single so he's always up for weekend away and he's the one who can get us the hotel rooms cheap too so it may just be him and me who comes down.
The others still wanna come but they're all worried about how much we'll spend and would prefer to do it after Chrimbo. Don't know how thats gonna make things easier cus we're all talking about a trip to Dublin for a session early next year too.
I still think we'll be coming down, its just a question of when and I think by the time my lot sort themselves out, everyone else will have lost interest or maybe won't be able to come.
