So here I am sitting at my computer on, what is only just, my 45th birthday. I worry sometimes that I don't post entries on my blog very much these days and also don't check out other people's, but I know that these things go in cycles and that at some point I will go back to blogging and reading everyones blogs on a regular basis once again.

Anyway, lots of stuff has been happening. Pete has had a bit of a cold this last week or so and is just about better, although his teeth are still giving him strife sometimes. He's up on his feet almost all the time now and trying to walk on his own instead of holding on to the furniture, it won't be long until he is asking for money to go out with his mates.

Niki has also had a cold for the last week or so, and her's was a lot worse than Pete's, but she is almost over it now. She has also been a bit down lately, but seems to be coming out of that as well.

I have been very stressed, especially this week. I had an appointment with my heart specialist on Monday, he gave me the usual once over and chat then told me to come back in six months, so I suppose I should be grateful that nothing has got any worse. I had my first English GCSE exam on Tuesday morning, I don't think I did very well but it was ok. I had my second exam today, I think I did worse than I did on Tuesday, but there isn't anything I can do about it, I just have to sit back and wait for the results which should be out at the end of August. It's my birthday today and I now start the slow slip towards the big Hawaii, I can't wait

I was tagged by Niki to do this, so here goes:-

The Rules:
Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.

1. What I was doing 10 years ago:
I’m not sure that I can say for certain exactly what I was doing ten years ago but I was married, living with my wife and kids. I was working for the DSS, drinking too much and not realising how much it was screwing my life up. Apart from that I can’t be completely sure.

2. What 5 things are on on my to-do list for today (not in any particular order):
Today being Friday, I plan to open some cards, eat some food, see my kids (or at least some of them), sleep.

3. Snacks I enjoy:
Bombay mix, pringles, chocolate, pork scratchings.

4. Things I would do if I was a billionaire:
I’d help out friends and family, give money to charity, live comfortably, set myself up in business, make sure that I was divorced before I got the money

5. Places I have lived:
Hackney, Burnt Oak, West Hampstead, Barking, Dagenham, Romford.

I tag Old Nick, Faffajane, Shipscook, Chyna_Doll, and rowtheboat.

And so to the future, for the moment as I don't seem to have a great deal to blog and I want to get back into the habit of doing so, I'm going to post a few lists of my top ten favourite things. Watch this space for the first one.

See y'all later
