So today’s had an appointment at the LGI for these stupid chest pains. I thought I was lined up for the full works…but as I found out, no I wasn’t.

Had an ECG and was told everything was fine with that. Doc a bit concerned that the pains sometimes radiates into my arm, but that could be caused by the stress and anxiety I feel when I get chest pains that are not heart related. He is now referring me for another couple of tests to basically rule out everything sinister….oh the joy.

So I am going to have to go back at some point soon…so much for the original letter I received, telling me that today’s appointment would last up to three hours!!!!!!!

Page 310/365 : Movember & Christmas early?

Decided this morning to commit to doing Movember.

Last time I had a shave was on the first of the month so I’m off to a decent start. If you want to donate to a cracking cause, fighting testicular cancer, then go here and donate :

Here’s the latest look:

Today I saw a video online and got very very giddy indeed. It looks like this Saturday, probably during the X Factor, we’ll be hearing the iconic “Holidays Are Coming! Holidays Are Coming!”

This evening we watched the short “Toy Story Of Terror” which was really good. It was only a 20-minute thing but was so much fun.

Also watched Nightmare Before a Christmas. I have never seen if before. Shocking ain’t it?

Forgot to write Tuesday’s blog!

Work was normal.

Tonight I watched the new David Tennant three-parter “The Escape Artist”. I had missed the first episode so whacked it on the iPlayer and thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the shocking ending. Watched tonight’s episode straight after it and loved it too. Can’t wait for next week’s.

Page 308/365 : Back to normality

Back to work today after the weekend’s shenanigans.

Pretty standard day at work really. Nothing more to report.

Started the health kick again. Really need to knuckle down and shift some timber fast. Just wanna be healthier. But someone brought birthday buns and biscuits into the office. Fail! Tomorrow will be the big start then!

Caught up on plenty of TV tonight. Watched The Walking Dead which was cracking.

Page 307/365 : Fandangoing

Got up this morning and after breakfast, we all decided to head down to Pwllheli beach. We went down and had a good bit of stone skimming. Jess collected a houseful of shells. Ash went Rock climbing. We saw a seagull carcass.

Then when walking back we saw a boat called “Fandango”. Any wrestling fan will recognise the significance to a certain current popular wrestler called the same thing, and a dance craze which erupted around Wrestlemania 29 and the Raw afterwards.

So we did this :

Finally said all our goodbyes and headed away from Pwllheli and across to Llanrwst to see Elle’s grandma and Aunt Sharon, Chico, Noa & Steffan. We had tea there before me and the boys were playing games on the iPads.

Then we headed home. Been a cracking weekend with top people. Loved it.

Page 306/365 : Recovery and pains

There were a few sore heads this morning. We’re still blaming Crooksy and his skittle vodka.m

As the aftermath began to unfold and all the stories came out about last night it became apparent that we’d drunk a bit too much…haha.

We lazed about all day. Burger King for lunch.

We were planning on going to see some fireworks but the wind pushed those to one side. Would’ve been massively dangerous in the super storm.

Had a play on the arcades too.

Went out tonight to the club houses but hardly anyone was drinking. My chest was killing me so we ended up going back to the caravan and I had an early night.

Page 305/365 : Wales-bound…just!

I am writing this on Saturday instead of Friday night for reasons that will soon make themselves apparent….

Finished work a little early, picked Elle up and set off to Wales. We are having a weekend at Lawlor’s caravan with him, Crooksy, Ash n Jess…but the journey…argh!

Someone decided that today would be the day that they would go to the big bridge over the M62 and jump off it. They didn’t jump apparently, but the traffic on and around the motorway was horrendous because of it.

We had 166 miles to go…we managed to do 60 miles in three hours!!!

So first was the M62…then the M60 was snarled up. Then we got onto the M6 that was bad too…but mainly because there was an accident going onto the M56…the road we needed to be on…nightmare. We were stuck on the slip road but eventually swung the car back onto the M6 and took a eight mile detour…then we hit ANOTHER accident and ended up having to be diverted through Caernarfon!!!

We had set off at around ten to 5…we got to the Haven in Hafan Y Mor (a fanny more?) at ten past ten!!! Five hours twenty minutes for 166 miles… Shocking.

So…when we got there…it was catchup time.

The drinks started flowing…and didn’t stop. Crooksy had brought some Skittles Vodka…game over!

We started by playing Shot Yahtzee. It was the same as normal Yahtzee except if you rolled three of a kind in your first roll…shot. If you got Yahtzee…shot. If you won a game…shot. If you lost a game…two shots.

And seeing as though everything was already going downhill…someone (Me) suggested Top Trumps….but not just any old Top Trumps…oh no……STRIP TOP TRUMPS!

And the rest…will remain in our memories only…and on Ash’s phone…there’s some cracking photos!

I was sick…lovely…although luckily I didn’t spray everywhere…made it to the bathroom!

Page 304/365 : Halloween

Good old Halloween.

Even Bendy Bully got into the spirit of things…he was dressed up when I got into work this morning…

20131031-225108.jpg

Got ready this evening and was inundated with kids coming Trick or Treatin’. Although I did answer the door like this and gave them more of a fright than they gave me…

20131031-225206.jpg

And heralding Halloween this year was the start of new Sky Living show “Dracula”. It’s had a tonne of build up and seems to have been advertised for ages….and it was massively disappointing. I will give it another couple of episodes but it needs to pick itself up.

Also watched Celebrity Juice for the first time in AGES and it just didn’t seem as funny as I remember it. Booooooo!

I will leave you with my favourite dog Halloween costume :

Page 302/365 : WWE catchup

Haven’t watched WWE for four weeks but decided to skip all that we have missed and just get straight onto Hell In A Cell from Sunday night.

Was a decent PPV with plenty of twists and turns. The match of the night was the one with the Rhodes Brothers in the opener. Loved it. Can’t wait to go to the First Direct Arena in a few weeks to see it all love again.
