Well, let me start by thanking people for their birthday wishes, sorry I haven't replied individually but things have been a bit odd round here, and in here (he says pointlessly pointing at his own head, which none of you will be able to see).

We are now the proud keepers of two cats (I say keepers and not owners because whilst you can own a dog, you can never own a cat). We have a black boy cat called Pip and a tabby girl cat called Nor. Don't ask about the names, Pete decided on them. They are just little kittens at the moment but I am assured that they grow quickly, so they should be big cats before we know it. Pictures to follow.

I had my second Maths GCSE exam, which I thought was easier than the first one, not that that really means much because I've had job interviews before that I thought I did brilliantly at and didn't even get shortlisted, so what do I know. Just have to wait until the end of August now for the results.

I've been a bit down of late and things in my head haven't been too fantastic. So I am going back into counselling to see if I can deal with some of the crap from my childhood that still gives me problems, also to deal with some stuff that happened during my drinking days that I didn't deal with at the time. Had an assessment on Tuesday and now have to wait to find out when I can start. We shall see what happens.

Sometimes I know I worry too much and at others I think maybe I don't worry enough about the things I should, but at the moment I seem to be worrying a lot of the time about a lot of things, some more important than others but all with the same intensity on my part. I think, no I know, that I need to talk some of the things through but find it difficult sometimes to know how. O Lord what am I waffling about? Anyway there it is!

That's all from me for now, see ya later
