Page 341/365 : Big score & bad tum

Got up earlyish and watched the mid-season finale of Walking Dead. Oh my god it was amazing! I won’t spoil it for anyone.

Went to the Leeds game today. It all looked like everything was going to be shit when Watford went 2-0 up before half time. But something happened and we came out in the second half and goals from Danny Pugh, Matt Smith and Ross McCormack helped us back to taking a lead….unfortunately with just three minutes to go we let it slip and drew 3-3. Probably the best game so far this season.

Tonight my stomach was going crazy. Was running to the loo and my stomach was just churning over and over. Not good. Hardly ate my tea.

Tonight it was the work Christmas do at Elland Road.

Met up with some of the women from the office before heading into the Centenary Pavilion. The room was lovely. We had a fantastic meal. I had salmon to start with, then tomato soup then a turkey dinner and finally cheese and biscuits.

We had a play on the play casino tables. I won about £3,500 on roulette before blowing it all.

Had a good dance too. There’d been a crooner on whilst we were eating and then a live band and disco. Absolutely loved it.

There’s only one thing that can be mentioned today.

5th December 2013, a true legend on Earth passed away.

He served time in prison for his beliefs and rose to power at the same time as enlightening the world and being a true believe in faith and humanity.

Sleep well Nelson.

Page 338/365 : Winning!

Leeds Vs Wigan at Elland Road tonight. My Dad went on a freebie. Leeds were offering a free ticket for every season ticket holder to take a friend. He had to sit in the West Stand though with the rest of the granddads!

Wasn’t a bad game but then again wasn’t anything spectacular. There was a decent crowd there but the atmosphere just never seemed to get going.

McCormack scored in the 15th minute to give us the lead and got another in the second half, although it was dubious whether it went straight in or whether Pearce got a touch or not.

Murphy was largely ineffective…again…,as was Smith up front who missed a glorious opportunity when clean through.

Either way, a win is a win and unfortunately Derby also won otherwise we would have been back in the playoff positions.

Long way to go yet though.

Page 337/365 : Scan

Hospital this morning for my heart scan. It was a Stress Echocardiogram to see if there’s anything wrong causing these stupid pains that May or may not just be Acid Reflux.

Had fun trying to get the needle in for the Contrast dye…took ages to get in.

Was scanned first then went for a fifteen minute run on a treadmill before being scanned again for the elevated heart rate scan.

The hardest bit was breathing out and holding it after going for a jog….you try it! Ouch!

It seemed like there was nothing too sinister but I will find out when I go back in January for the results with the consultant.

Decorated the office today. We all chipped in and it ended up looking like Santa’s Grotto. Love it. I will stick some photos up tomorrow.

Got Ebbsfleet promoted from the Skrill South into the Skrill Premier. Good times after my playoff final loss yesterday. Can I cut it in the Skrill Premier???

We’ll it finally came off…the Mo has been shaved off.

I ended up raising £65 and as a team we raised around £140. Not bad for three bad Taches.

As it was the first of December, it was officially Christmas time and that could only mean one thing…Christmassy t-shirts and putting up the tree!

We watched Ernest Saves Christmas and Elf. Loved it!

Page 334/365 : The Mo’s last stand

It’s the final day of Movember and as no-one else is chipping in, it looks like £55 is the total tally for money raised by me in my first ever attempt. Not bad for a massively shit moustache!

Had a hugely lazy day today. Original planned to go down to the German market but then we realised it would just be super busy and a huge waste of time so we chilled out all day, catching up on recorded TV.

Oh.

Dear.

Lord!

Black Friday arrived with a vengeance. As I was dropping Elle off at work early, I thought I would nip into ASDA so see what this Black Friday lark was all about.

This was my Facebook posting that summed it up :
