I went home this weekend which was a bit unexpected. My computer keeps breaking down and randomly shutting itself off which was getting to be a bit of a pain so I took it back for Dad to deal with. So Zinzan and I travelled back on the train on Friday.
On Saturday I headed to York to visit Beth. Twas a lot of fun! First we looked round the shops for a bit and then went for hot chocolate. After that we looked round some more shops then went to Pizza Hut. Then, of course, a little more shopping and then Beth took me to her halls. They are really nice! Finally I had to leave. I ran to catch a train and got a stitch and it turned out that the train was late! Fantastic(!) I was sad to leave though!
In the evening I went with Emma to Joe Rigatonis. Was yummy! Then we went back to my house and just mucked around really. We looked at some old school photos and tried to remember peoples names!
On Sunday I went to church, of course. Saw the usual folks which was great!
Finally on Monday I bumped into Tig which was awesome cos I haven't seen her for absolutely ages!
So I managed to catch up with a fair few people over the weekend which was great...... and now I am back in Glasogw :-(

Disaster strikes! I have discovered Facebook!!! It is so addictive! So between MySpace and Facebook I am doomed!! But like MySpace I have come across a few old friends so it can't really be a bad thing!
I'm really excited cos Andrea is coming to visit me over the Christmas hols!!! YYYAAAYYY!!! I really just cannot wait!!!

So another week is just about over. It has been generally quite good. I went home with Dad on Sunday afternoon after we went to church at Gardner Street. I drove the whole way home which took around three and a half hours. I was pretty tired after that! Iain, Paula and the kids (Craig, Cara and Emma) were staying at ours for the weekend because they were going to spend the rest of the week at Oasis (Center Parks in the Lake District). It was really great to see them! Went to Geneva Road in the evening. Was nice to see Sophie! We chatted about Robin Hood and Richard Armitage who is playing Guy of Gisborne. Fantastic!

I had to sleep on the sofa bed in the sitting room cos Craig was in my room. I didn't mind at all! The sofa bed is probably more comfortable than my bed! Apparently Iain's alarm went off on his phone just outside the sitting room door in the middle of the night but I was the only person in the whole house that didn't actually hear it!! They all set off pretty early on Monday and then I did pretty much nothing for the rest of the day. I was meant to catch the train at around 6pm but it was over half an hour late which was a bit of a pain but hey. The journey was pretty uneventful but I did feel sick most of the way because I was sitting backwards! Gross!

The rest of the week has been pretty boring! Watched Scotland play the Ukraine in the Euro Qualifiers. Unfortunately we couldn't replicate the form of the France match and lost 2-0 with one man being sent off (unfairly I might add). Ah well, it can't take away from our result on Saturday. I will just remind you:

Scotland 1 - 0 France

On Thursday evening Zinzan decided that it would be nice to give me a heart attack and escape. I was really worried that he had managed to get out of the flat and then I would probably never have found him. Thankfully though I found him behind my bed!! Cheeky Monkey!

I don't think that I could describe it any better.....


The scorer has played for Darlo! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I met my neighbour today (not the baby in Darlington, the lady in Glasgow). I have been living here for getting on for a year and a half now and never met here before...... and she is moving!! lol I just thought that that was quite amusing. She is moving to London and will be renting her flat out. Now this worries me because she is pretty quiet so I hope that whoever rents it isn't noisy! That would be a nightmare!

Darlo play Rochdale tonight. Obviously I'm not going to be there. Dad is travelling up to Glasgow tonight for the Scotland/France match tomorrow evening! I am so excited! This will definitely be the highest profile Scotland match I have been to. The atmosphere will be amazing!!

BRING IT ON THIERRY!!!!!

David Hodgson has been sacked as manager of DFC! I can't say that I am surprised because it didn't really seem anyway way back from where the situation had got to. I thought he would resign if I'm honest but then I guess it wouldn't look good as he had already been suspended and it would almost be some kind of admission of guilt (mind you I wouldn't have a clue of what!!). I am sorry to see him go because he has done an awful lot for the club but hopefully some new blood will give the club a boost. It worries me though because we have been doing reasonably well under Hodgson so a new manager might be a change for the worse but perhaps for the better (which I am really hoping for!). We shall have to wait and see!!!

Some better news is that in Darlo we have a new neighbour!!! His name is Edward and he was born on Monday (2nd October). I am so excited and if he is anything like his big sister Grace (who is just under 2) he will be an absolute stunner!! I can't wait to meet him!

I went into Wesley Owen on Monday afternoon to pick up a book that I had ordered. I've already read a lot of it! In the evening I met up with the girls from CU for the Bible Study. We are going through a book about the Old Testament which I think is going to be pretty good. It was great to just spend time with them though!
Today I had all my lectures which went really well. I'm a lot more interested in my courses this year (so far anyway!). Made sausage casserole for tea - I'm trying to perfect it. The couple of times that I've made it is has been ok but not nearly as good as when Mum makes it! So I guess I'll have to keep on practicing!!! I really want to learn how to cook this year. I'm definitely going to try!

Could this little man be any cuter?? I think not!
