New Job? Fo Shizzle! - and more..

So, as the title suggests - I have a new job.

I start on the 1st Sept 2011, working for a company in the centre of Bolton. I'm excited and really eager to get my teeth into a new company and show them what I can do.

It's better money, car, everything so it's all good for us as a family and it's a good move for me professionally.

As regular readers will realise, this blog isn't half as professional as my main football one so forgive me the lack of structure :)

We're getting all geared up for our hols, we're off to Mexico and I am super-excited. Its only 48 work days to go and 20 days to go at Aquila so I'm confident time will continue at it's ridiculous pace. We've got all of our clothes, though that will probably change as we've enrolled on a 6-week course at the local DW Fitness Gym. It's actually a cracking deal and I'm feeling the benefit after 3 sessions.

We went to the Ben & Jerry Sundae in the park last weekend (Sat 23rd July)and had a great time. Reminder for next year, take picnic rug (already purchased a Ben & Jerrys one this year and take a picnic and beer....miles cheaper in the long run, whilst I dont mind paying for the odd Pimms, £4 for a can of San Miguel is practically robbery, even if they did provide unlimited free Ben & Jerrys Ice Cream.

The music at the festival was good, Little Comets,Starlings, Gary Numan and of course Maximo Park impressed and a good time was had by all. I even won a bungee race against one of my mates and I never saw that coming in a million, so much so I didn't even put money on it...I'm such a mug.

Worryingly, I do think I am growing up a bit. We're talking family and bits and I'm really excited by it. I'm never going to be a strict Dad, but I will always do my best to show my potential children how much I love them and how I'd do anything for them.

On that rather pathetic note I'll sign off. I'll try to update more frequently, probably just after the 1st Sept 2011.

OMG!! 2011?! - Where has the time gone?

It has been a while hasn’t it?

So much has gone on and I’d like to share some of it with you, my dear reader.

Firstly, as of the 5th of November, Wendy and I purchased, moved in and began our new lives in our new home.

It was, is and will continue to be awesome. I struggle to find appropriate words to describe how content I am. The house is everything I could have hoped for and more and our lives together– as complicated and stressful as work makes them, are also everything I could hope for.

I’m a very fortunate man really and for that I am thankful.

So what’s happening with me then? Well we’re off to Mexico in October and I can’t wait. I’m a sunshine person and I love being hot….sounds like Mexico is going to hot-hot and I am well looking forward to it.

I’ve also been getting on well with my other blog – http://www.wigangooner.co.uk and I’ve been getting a lot of traffic from people, (one day last week 5800 people looked at an article) so it’s clearly generating an interest, which is really why I do it.

The sports writing is something that is really exciting to me at the moment, I did an article for another website “Arsenal Arsenal” see below link for article;
http://arsenalarsenal.wordpress.com/2011/06/02/whatever-happened-to-a-boy-called-wellington/

That article got over 10000 hits and plenty of comments and it has shown me that I am able to write decent articles and perhaps maybe take it up as more than a distraction or hobby.

To that end I’ve sent off a copy of an article to a local news agency to see if I can write anything for them.

Fingers crossed!

That’s all for now, we’re out on the beerski’s tonight and I need to get my shizzle done.
