Seems just like last year when I was typing up 2005’s christmas post, and we even got snow last year too!
Hope your all having a great day, I am! I got this wicked new 19 inch widescreen LCD monitor for my hackintosh, but i looks better on windows then is does on mac… i think it needs to be tweaked… then I got some money errrm an Apple keyboard that brings my total Apple products owned upto 3 lol!

My grentz brought me the brush thing that you attach to the hose pipe to wash my car… but im abit worried since it feels like it migt scratch the paintwork… hmmm… They also bought me a mirror which was nice and a power surge protector… oh and ofcourse I got some socks lol, then some shower gel and stuff

BUT theres a change this year… my grentz have there stuck up side of the family over… these people have had something against me and my parents since we moved to spain as if I am the devils child (maybe ) but seriously what on earth did i do wrong I have no idea! Anyways they came over last night and we sat round the table joe went to work leaving me alone, i tried all the time I was round the table to make conversation but they just didnt wanna know, i even said hello, and I didn’t get a reply… hmmm.

Oh well so I went upstairs and lived up there for the night until they pissed off back up the travelodge, then I went downstairs. Christmas Day come round yay! i laid in bed till 10am until i was woken up by my brother jumping on me (urgh) so i got up I went downstairs to say merry christmas to everyone individually… the grentz said merry christmas back but these two people god neither of them even said merry christmas… so i was pretty annoyed.

So me and joe sat in the kicten then she blurted out to her husband “When are we going home?!” what the hell you only just got here, I thought. Anyways we got all arranged and got the presents dished out, they never said a word to me or joe, so yeah they was being a**holes. funny thing is 30 minutes in she asks “Who are they??” Ok… so you have no idea who me and joe are… I give up!

Anyways after we got all presents open I took mine upstairs and then only come down when it was dinner after that i’ve lived up here having a good old drink, setting up my monitor etc. So yeah christmas has been alright, just wish our guests would actaully talk to me and joe!

Mum rang up just before dinner had a good talk to her which was nice… and I rang up my uncle last night to thank him for the christmas money he had posted so all in all its been good. The new theme is complete! and will be launched on 27th December I will post on that day too so if your subscribed then you will be notified

i’ved even got a YouTube video for you all this week!

And you know what? I can’t wait no really last week some things kicked off well I guess I should explain well I forget what day it was but basically me rich and marshall went off leaving pete aaron and katie alone well they went to tescos and i dunno where we went exactly… Katie was having a bad hair day bless her and somewhere along the lines aaron took the piss out of her and (from experience) this really upset her as it brought memories back up from school.

Aaron went over the top and really upset her and she didnt hardly talk all day we all noticed something was wrong, she told me about this on msn that night, I fort well i’ll have a word with aaron about it because I didn’t think it was very fair… I pulled arron aside and spoke to him and his reply was “I don’t care!” well I was pretty shocked at that and he walked off.

That was it didn’t hear nothing about it until the afternoon some how amy decided to get involved which had nothing to do with her… hell she isn’t in the same class… now the next thing really confused us… she was gonna go after katie… WHAT THE F**K she didn’t do nothing wrong!

So at that point I said to amy if u touch katie we won’t have nothing to do with u since katie was inocent she’d done nothing wrong to deserve any trouble… amy then sent me this rather nasty txt which upset me… (theres more to it too) so basically that was it, amy then started to fall ut with other people then what happened was a classic.

Somewhere along the lines aaron said something that was wrong or katie said something i’m not sure but amy realised what she’d done and attempted to get everyone back… uhh uhh WRONG!!! After saying all that she expects us to come running back to her… forget it. And that was it… so that was my wonderful week… BUT things are improving!!

My love life is getting a little bit better, its gonna take a little while to get back on my feet but i’m getting there… i’ve met a new girl called Alex richs gf’s best mate the first time we met we didnt talk hardly at all 3 words in total. Then I rang her up one night and we (me) spoke for 2hrs…she doesn’t say alot she is shy bless her then she rang up one night and we spoke again.

Friday night I drove to Donington (got a little bit lost and rich had to find me lol) picked her up and we drove through to Boston and went to see Casino Royale and we got a little bit closer… it was a pretty good film i enjoyed it then I drove her home in the rain (PISSING IT DOWN) I then drove home in the rain I got in at 12, pretty good night out I must say.

Ooooh and Christmas will soon be here!! a week Monday woo the new design will go live about 27th decemember its about done and its just going through optimization stages… that means i’m trying to make it supah fast loading! I can;t wait to get the design live, its now easier to expand with this design compared to what i’ve got now… which has grown old after only 3 months of being live… yeah I know…

I guess thats it really if you wont be back to read the Christmas post, I hope you all have a good Christmas and a Happy new year! Which reminds me… I need to buy my gdad a present still… and I need to wrap them… GREAT!

No videos this week nothing interesting lol

Help were being over worked at college 98% of us are falling behind because of this bloke who think he knows what the student really want got his way – Multiple assigmments, this means breaking the assigments in 3 or more smaller assignments thus we fall behind ALOT easier.

Yeah including me… yes I am fallin behind I dont know whats gotta be in out whats been reffered and i’m normally pretty organised but this setup is just messing things up… so as a student rep guy would do… we did something about it! First a poling vote was put on on the colleges intranet, now we have done a petition to get these stupid small assigmments slapped into 1 big one why makes thing alot easier to manage.

This pettion was pretty simple it had there name, signature tick yes for 1 big assignment and no for… loads of them then comments… the outcome was basically only 2 people disagreed (smart ass’s ) and the rest of the class well aid yes they wanted 1 big assigment. Today I just sat in “SAD” head down… lost no idea what I could do so i decided the best I could do was setup some kinda speadsheet to try and oranise the mess this guy has made for us all – t*t!

Moving on christmas is gonna be here soon… great and as every christmas i’ll feel down because well christmas is a family time… apart from my family isn’t exactly a family… mum and dad will be in spain sure i’ll have the grentz thats cool but my parents *sigh* and well i have no idea when i’ll see them so thats gonna be on my mind for awhile…

College is ok just this work which is bugging me right now.. we got a new timetable no real problems with it just yet. Home is ok nans not really p*ssed me off for a while so thats alright. Love life? don’t go there…

Yes guys it coming to that time of the year again and tomwrote.info has got its Christmas decorations upto celebrate the best time of each year, sadly our govement is playing down Christmas all over the country because of the muslims getting offended, b*ll*cks to them.

While where on the subject of ranting about the govement, bastards have decided to try and put a pay-as-you-go road tax kinda thing into our cars which we would have to pay to be fitted costing over £200.

It was stated on the news yesterday morning (27th November 2006) one of the reasons this proposal has been suggested was to raise money for possible road building and improvements to existing roads. It should be noted: all the money currently collected by the DVLA for road fund licences, only 23% – 24% is actually spent on road building and improvements!

On top of this massive increase in tax, you will be tracked. Somebody will know where you are at all times. They will also know how fast you have been going, so even if you accidentally creep over a speed limit you can expect an NIP with your monthly bill.

The gov have got a petition on there website to try stop this from getting passed its madness… so if you got a car then click this link http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax and try and stop them fat cats from getting even more money to run arround there jags and jets. B*stards – Put proper details in else it might not count.

College is going great loving it still and got a shock the other night at parents evening… I’m doing better then what I thought I was going which was great! We start our new time table monday (yes i’m in on mondays) and we have got Wednesdays off again like last year… Which I found was better because it gave you a break throughout the week.

My driving is going great still looking for work i’ve applied at so many places but getting no feedback is kinda depressing now Currys seemed really interested in me and I spoke to a man called mark really nice guy took all my details and i filled in my application form.. and i’ve heard nothing from them..

Spoiler has turned up and i been priming and painting that, this is what it looks like right now:

[photopress:DSC00090.JPG,thumb,pp_image]

Not bad if I don;t say myself!

Foxy brought this rather dusty computer round to be fixed so I been fixing that, took that back today.. and thats about all thats happened… last week was catch up week and we got a little bit of work done but me and rich find it easier to do our work like assignments and stuff at home… guess we can actually consintrate that way.

Wednesday night there was a car accident just up the road from me and the lad driving it died he was only 17 one minute you can be here then next your not. R.I.P Josh I didn’t know you but my mum knows your dad and I know your ex i’m related to her, take care chels.

I think thats all for now, take care all.
