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.
