Tuesday

I woke up at 7 AM, had breakfast, watched a bit of the news (GMTV), got dressed and went to school, I had the following lessons: P.E. (Theory), Science, Guidance, History and French. Our Science teacher is currently stuck in a foreign country because of all the flight cancellations. I stayed back after school for an hour (Geography revision). Then I went home, Dave picked me up in the car, he arrived just a second after I left the school. I went home, had my tea and went to the Main Project over in Ingleby Barwick. I arrived home at 7 PM and just hung out on 1Radio. Until now (21:21) when I am updating the blog.

Weekend & Monday - Back To School

Saturday

I woke up, had breakfast (waffles with bacon and bread and egg). I watched Frasier, Eeverybody Loves Raymond, The Simpsons. Then me, Dave and Dawn went over to Middlesbrough to get a new license plate for the car. We got that, came home and drilled it onto the car. I hang out online for most of the day, and watched a new episode of The Simpsons on WTSO.NET

Sunday

I woke up, went online, ate crisps and a chocolate muffin, we went to Chester-le-Street, and had sunday lunch in a bar. I enjoyed it very much. After that we went to the Pontop Pike TV/Radio transmitter. I took some photos of it. Dave and Dawn went into a greenhouse nearby and bought some plants for the garden. When we got home I used the hose pipe to water them. The I hung out online for the rest of the day.

Monday

I woke up, had breakfast, got dressed and went to school, came home, watched the previous episode of Flashforward and hung out on 1Radio.

Friday - Trip to Derbyshire

I woke up at 6AM, got in the shower (it was cold) and updated the blog for yesterday's events. After that I put a few episodes of The Simpsons on. Dave and Dawn got up at 8AM. I got dressed at 8:15 AM. Had breakfast at about 8:30 AM and we left just after 9AM for the Heights of Abraham, Matlock Bath, Derbyshire. We went through Yorkshire. The drive was 2 hours but we got there eventually. Dave drove there but Dawn drove coming back. Matlock Bath is a nice picturesque village in Derbyshire. We had some food, I had a plate of fries with burger (chip butty in other words). Seriously that's all I have ate all week, I am sick of them. Not to worry, I return to school on Monday. I also had a can of Coke. After that we looked around some shops, Dave got some money out of an ATM machine and headed over to the other side of the village and me, Dave and Dawn got on a cable car to take us up to the top of the hill. You get great views of the entire village and Matlock town. I would have video recorded going up on the cable car but my iPhone battery was low, I had it plugged in in the car but for some reason it wouldn't charge. Anyway there was also some French tourists at the top of the hill. It was quite interesting. After that we were going to go explore the caves but didn't have time. Dawn took the cable car back down to the village but me and Dave walked down. That was very tiring. We headed back to the car, at this point it was about 2/2:30 PM, about that. Dawn drove back, but when we got into Yorkshire, Dawn made a stupid mistake. Instead of continuing on the M1 "THE NORTH", she went onto the M621 which took us to Leeds! Dave was sleeping in the back of the car so I woke him up. The whole incident was quite funny. Not alot of traffic going into the city centre though. Dave started to give Dawn directions to get out of Leeds and back onto the M1. She made another wrong turn (back to the city centre) so we had to pull up and Dave took over the driving. He managed to get us back onto the M1, the rest of the car journey was good. I listened to a good show on Radio 1 on the way back. But when we got near Thirsk (North Yorkshire town), Dave accidentally ran over a pheasant! The problem with these animals is they have tunnel vision so they can only see in front of them, not to the sides. Poor thing probably died instantly. I was sitting back eating some candy, but I did feel the bump, scared the crap out of me!!! Not only did it kill the animal, the license plate on the car also fell off with it! We had to drive 25-30 miles back to Billingham without a front license plate, it's a good thing we didn't get pulled up by the police. We didn't know it fell off after we hit it though. There was a birthday party of one of Dawn's relatives so we dropped a present off at the restaurant near Wolviston services. Was quite warm when we got back to Billingham. Pretty much all of Dawn's family was there at the party. Anyway we dropped the present off and when we came out we inspected the damage, that's when we discovered there was no license plate! All we could do is laugh. We drove home illegally and I managed to get a picture of the car without the plate, I have posted it at the end of this blog post. Not to worry though, Dave is getting a new license plate tomorrow. Hopefully. I stayed at Dave's for a while, I went home at about 6 PM, but had to go home in Dawn's car. I was quite tired when I got home after everything that went on today. I didn't even finish my tea, I was too full and just not feeling good. I watched Lost at 10 PM and now it is 22:42, I am updating this and listening to music. My Mum is currently doing the same in the living room, only difference is I am using earphones, she is blasting her music out of the stereo, it's a terraced house too, hope it doesn't wake the neighbours. It's rude to play music loud at this time of night. Anyway, next update is tomorrow. Awwww back to school soon. CRAP.

Friday Morning - Update for Yesterday

Well, it's currently 6:20 AM on Friday morning as I wirte this. I have just showered as I am going to Derbyshire today. I didn't update last night so I will do the update now. I woke up and saw Dawn and Libby (Dawn's niece) was here. I got dressed straight away because they were going out. When they left I played GTA IV until about 1:30 PM. Then Dawn came back in my Dad's car. I got in and saw Libby and Janice (Libby's Mum) sitting in the back. Dawn came out and we went to Seaton Carew (Hartlepool). I DX'd in the car and got some long distance radio stations from the East Midlands (thats where I'm going today). I got a chip butty and ate that in the car, after that Dawn took us home. Then she got her car out and drove it to the MOT garage. I played more GTA IV until that got boring at around 4PM. I just hung out online for most of the night, I did get in the shower. Me and Darryl agreed not to speak to each other for 2 years, I agree with that and think it's best. I watched The Simpsons around 12 AM on DVD and when that finished at 12:20 AM I headed off to bed. Oh and I was Skype with Ceejay and Timmy for a few hours. Anyway it's 6:26 AM now, I had a shower, but it was a bit cold. Then I logged in to write this. Well that's all for now.

Fun Wednesday!

Well I had a great night. This morning I woke up a bit later than usual, I think it was about 9:30 AM. So I missed a bit of Jeremy Kyle, but not much. I listened to music at 10:30 AM, got dressed and got out the house at 12 PM. I went to the town, got my chip butty, came home and ate it. I watchd South Park while eating this time. I went back to the town centre after my lunch at about 12:55 PM and was there until 1:30 PM I think. I walked home with my cousins who I bumped into at the town. My house and their house is only a short walk anyway. But it was quite chilly today, otherwise I would have stayed at the town until 3PM. Anyway when I got home I logged onto the computer and just messed around online, chatted to some people, listened to Skyrock, etc etc. I went to Dave's at 4 PM and had a visitor round the house at 4:30 PM. It was a woman from one of the support services, I don't know, I spoke to her once before when she came to the house. Anyway she didn't stay long, left at about 5 PM. I got in the shower after she left, washed my hair, brushed my teeth (yes, in the shower LOL). I got out, got dressed and just messed around online until 6PM, I then watched The Simpsons on Channel 4 (Wild Barts Can't Be Broken). My friend from the Children's Society, Lewis came at about 6:25 PM so I greeted him downstairs and watched the final bit of The Simpsons downstairs while waiting for the taxi. The taxi came at 6:35 PM and took us to the Teesside Retail Park in Stockton. First thing we did was go to Burger King. I had fries and a plain hamburger with a Coke. I can't remember what he got. I enjoyed that, we left there at 7:30 PM and headed over to the cinema and watched Clash of the Titans which started at 8:00 PM and finished at 9:25 PM. After that finished we headed over to the bowling alley for a Coke while waiting for the taxi to take us home. I had alot of fun. It was great seeing some of the names people had put into their screens (Test Tickle, Iva Bigun, etc lol). We left the bowling alley at 9:55 PM and the taxt arrived to take us home. I got home for 10:10 PM and now I am just working on a site update to the about me page which should be released in a few minutes. Anyway it's 23:55 right now so I just wanted to get this posted before 12 AM. I had a great night and look forward to the next activity me and Lewis do. I think we are going to the Wynyard Planetarium next. I will keep you all updated on that, now I have to finish the site update. Forgot to mention, I have scrapped the Spanish version and will just keep the French version. Also can you please leave comments on the blog so I know people are actually reading this? Thanks.

Tired Tuesday

Well its currently 22:23 and I am already tired. I woke up at about 9 AM, and I was tired but had to get up to watch ITV's Jeremy Kyle anyway. I listened to music at 10:30 when it finished and while I was listening to music the phone started to ring, it was my Mum saying she has been getting phone calls off of someone who I used to talk to. I won't go into details but darryl7745 has been causing problems for me, my friends and my parents, harrassing them. I was even going to change my phone number but didn't. I went out for food at 12 PM, I think. I ate it, and well just hang around the house for most of the day. I went to Dave's at 5 PM and played some GTA IV until 8 PM. Then I listened to a bit of radio. Dave bought some Chinese lanterns off the Internet, we tried to get one going but it failed. The square that you set fire to came out, it landed near a load of televisions we have near the garage so I got the plug from the television and burnt the wire. It's okay, they weren't any use to me anyway, and the reason we had them out is because we need to get rid of them. We tried a second time to get another lantern going but failed again, the square came out again. Dave is useless, he can't do anything. He can't start a fire, we have failed at having barbeques, bonfire nights and now Chinese lanterns. Honestly, it's a good thing we aren't cavemen, we would be dead within ten minutes. I got home at 21:35 and just been messing around online. It's now 22:30 and I am tired, night guys.

Monday - Missed Flashforward :

This morning I woke up quite early, 8:00 AM on the dot! I waited until about 9:00 AM maybe before I got up. I flicked between shows on TV. 'Everybody Loves Raymond' (Channel 4 +1) and 'Nothing to Declare' (Living). For those of you who don't know about the second show, it is just about the border forces at Sydney Airport. So it is an Austrailian program. I watched Jeremy Kyle (9:25-10:30) on ITV 1. After that I switched off the TV and played some music for an hour an half. I got dressed and brushed my teeth at 12:00 PM and went out to the town centre straight away. I don't really like the town centre on Monday and Friday, it is market day in Billingham on those days and you have people setting up stalls everywhere to sell crap. It is too busy and you can't get anywhere. I hung out there until 12:30 PM and then I went for my lunch (chip butty). I took it home, and ate it while I watched Futurama. I watched two episodes. The one where aliens attack to see the TV show Fry interupted and the one where Fry wins a tour to the Slurm factory. After my butty I opened a box of Magum chocolate popsicles and enjoyed one of them. After Futurama finished I went off to the town again and hung out there for a while. I came home at maybe 2 PM and just searched some stuff online. I switched my laptop on and listened to some music. My Dad called at about 4 PM and he came and picked me up. When we got to his house there was someone there who was preparing to install cavity insulation, which wont get done for a few weeks, if we decide to go along with it. After he left we got the lawn mower out for the first time this year. For those who can't remember I have a Flymo Sprintmaster XE90. I mowed the back garden but I got bored half way through and let Dad finish it off. Hopefully he will still decide to give me extra allowance. When I got bored with mowing the lawn I got some junk food and went upstairs with my laptop. I just messed around online. At about 9 PM I went on Skype call with Ceejay. BUT I missed one of my favourite shows, Flashforward which is on Five, Monday nights at 9 until 10. So I missed that. Since I was at my Dad's house I had the chance to watch it on my 32" LCD TV. Damn. Guess I'll have to watch online or something. Although I did enjoy the Skype call. I also messed around with Google Street View, exploring Wynyard village and Northallerton (North Yorkshire town). On Friday I might be going to the Heights of Abraham in Derbyshire, depends what the weather is like. That is 121 Miles from here, about a 2 hour drive. Will be a good day out though. If not Derbyshire then we might go to Alnwick castle in Alnwick, Northumberland. Some parts of the Harry Potter movies were filmed there. Anyway I'll write more when we make plans. Lastly, heres some photos of the Billingham Town Centre on market day. The last one shows how some strange people choose to dress, even when the weather is chilly.

Boring Sunday

This morning I layed in bed for an hour before actually getting up. I got up at about 10:50 AM I think. I went down, greeted my Mum, and put the TV on. There wasn't really anything on, Sunday TV is boring. But I did watch The Simpsons which was on Sky 1 from 12 PM to maybe 2PM. Then after The Simpsons I watched Futurama while ripping some 'Now Thats What I Call Music' CDs. UK border force was on from 4:00 to 4:15 PM, watching people getting stopped from entering the UK illegally, i.e. getting stopped at Heathrow Airport, sneaking into trucks at Calais, etc. I also switched between the Tottenham V Portsmouth football match on ITV 1 and The Simpsons on Channel 4 (+1). My Mum went out on the morning to the nearby Tesco supermarket for a chicken. For lunch I had Yorkshire Puddings and chicken. My Mum then went out shopping with her friend. She came back while I was watching The Simpsons on C4. I went upstairs after The Simpsons and listened to some music and some old Skype calls I recorded with Jamie/Drew. Ahhh, quite nostalgic. Sometime later I came down to log on the Internet and just hung out, surfing the web. I spoke to an old friend from Nimes, Framce. Now it is 23:19 and I am going to bed as I am tired. Night guys. Oh forgot to mention, the weather, it was quite chilly today and not as warm as it was yesterday, according to my town's own weather site, the highest was 16.1 C (60 F) at 12:57 PM. It is now 4.8 C (40 F), brrrrr thats too cold! only 4 or 5 degrees away from freezing!

Saturday

This morning I woke up at about 9:45 AM and listened to the 10 AM news on the radio. I got up and switched the TV on and watched a bit of football highlights from the recent Liverpool v Benfica game. I can't remember but I think the score was 3 - 1. My Mum got out of bed about 5 minutes after me and made breakfast. I had waffles, bacon and bread with egg. I watched Frasier and Everybody Loves Raymond on Comedy Central then went to the Billingham Town Centre with my Mum to get my haircut. Weather was really warm today, got up to 21.1 Celcius (69 Fareinheit). When I got home I just waited for my mum to come in, then I went in the shower. I got out, got dressed then went online and just surfed the web for the rest of the day. My Dad (Dave) called me on my iPhone and said that there was no point in going to his house today since he was going to be working all day tomorrow (Sunday) until 2 AM Monday morning. I really don't understand how someone with his job can work in the dark. He said he wont work next weekend and me, him and Dawn can go out somewhere. Maybe Northumberland or Yorkshire. (Do I have any fans in Yorkshire? I did see Hull on the guest map). Also the weekend after that me and him are driving down to Tamworth (Staffordshire) near Birmingham while Dawn actually is going to Birmingham with her friend on the same day. Coincidence. It will be a long drive. Anyway I'll discuss that further when it comes in 2 weeks. It's currently 21:29 and I did a few updates to the site earlier, on the main page I added 2 more photos to the left and all them pictures are now clickable links. If you click on any photo you can see a larger version. The top 2 which are the newest are the biggest most clear. The rest are a bit blurry. I also added a logo for the site. Also called a favicon, I didn't know how to do that originally but I googled it and found out how. Anyway thats all for now, have a nice weekend.

Blog Update

Hey guys, I know I don't update the blog often enough and I am sorry for that. I am extremely lazy! Today has been warm, 18 Celcius (68 Farenheit?). Anyway it is a sign that summer is coming. I wope up and waited for my mum to leave the house to go to work. When she did I got up, put the TV on. I watched Judge Judy on ITV 2 (9:00-9:25 AM) then watched The Jermey Kyle Show on ITV 1 (9:25-10:30 AM). After that I listened to a bit of music until about 11:30 AM, then got dressed, brushed my teeth and went out for a walk to the town centre. I hung out there for a while watching people shop, etc. Due to the warm weather I seen a few girls wearing skirts (lol). I came home and got the £1 my mum left me, went back to the town and bought a chip butty (that is chips (fries) with a bread bun, just saying for our International readers!) I came home, ate that then I walked to Dave's house. When I got there I watched the episode of Lost which I needed to catch up on, then I stayed there for a bit and walked back home at about 4:15 PM. I got back home eventually and just waited for Mum to come home. After that I just came online and watched a few Jeremy Kyle videos on YouTube, ate some fruit (yum), watched Lost at 9 PM on Sky 1 and now I am writing this. I will hopefully update tomorrow but now it is 11:53 PM and I am going to go to bed as I am tired and my back is hurting because I have been sitting in the porch for hours. The porch is the only place I can get an Internet signal. Also I am currently working on the Spanish translation of the site, so if anyone speaks Spanish and can translate the entire site, please contact me. Night guys, don't forget to leave your comments in the comment box on the site.
