So why the lack of posts you might ask? Well lack of time and trying to change to a new system (which obviously I haven't yet)!

So I'm thinking of switching to Wordpress but blogger has just gone onto a new version - so trying to export all the old posts out has now become a problem :( Will try and sort it out sometime soon...

Anyhoo, a new year, many resolutions and lots of stuff to do! Looking at doing holiday clubs, trips away, lesons and all sorts. Plus gotta keep on going with the whole OU thing, and then their's nastiness with church stuff which is culminating in a meeting tonight - ooooh fun - not! Anyhoo, London trip last week was fantastic evita was amazing a great stage production.

Better go, lots of work to do!!! See you soon, God Bless...

I'm going to have a good Christmas holiday!! You'd better read the whole thing for details!

Ok, so I'm going to my Grandparents for a 50th wedding anniversary on the 20th December - exciting, but maybe not the most exciting thing I'm going to be doing! Then on the 22nd back home to Loughborough avec family for a nice trad christmas! Already sorted all the presents out - but that aint the most exciting thing either (though it is dreadfully exciting and I'm looking forward to it loads!). Then I'm going back to dawlish on the 28th to get some shopping in and a for a new year eve party! Which is exciting but not in comparison to what I'm doing on the 3rd January... I'm going to see Evita at the Adelphi theatre! Ok, so it may not be as exciting as seeing family and friends, but I've wanted to see it for a while - the only other musical I would like to have seen over it would have been the Lion King but at £60 a ticket I decided not to bother! Anyhoo, I've got some stuff for the awakening thing in Hemel that I'm sorting (hurrah!). God Bless...

Preparing for Christmas parties before advent has even begun - the world has gone mad!

So today I'm getting ready for our last crusaders/impact club event of the year - the Christmas party! A bit early but hey, it means that Wednesdays have a bit more freedom for the end of the term! Got the quiz sorted for when they come in with 40 questions!! and parce the parcels are wrapped and ready to go, as is all the music for the evening!

I have also mixed down the IMPACT team video which is now being viewed and checked by Jerry - it's split into three sections the first a traumatic look at Dawlish along with some harrowing facts, the second a slightly more uplifting look at who IMPACT are and the work we do, finally a triumpant look at the future and the work we'll do along with a beg for support finacially, physically and spiritually! Should rock!

Anyhoo better go, work calls...

Flu sucks! Actually it blocks nasal passages so it neither sucks nor blows - but hey, you know know what I mean! right?

So I have been off work with all osrts of horrible stuff going on in my face, head and throat! The fun of it all. I am now sat in the office, having just checked my bank balance (was a bit worried I'd forgot something) and being the most bored I have been for a while!

Generally though things have been going well - the new PC is great, it's not internetted, but it is now connected up to my television so that's all cool! No youth groups on friday cos of the jazz concert so a night in (to add to all the others I have had this week!) then Saturday we've got Wayne's World Night and Sunday I'm at some deanery taize service reading the prayer of St.Francis.

Plans for awakening in Hemel in Feb seem to be taking off. They're starting all the marketing, which means once I've shifted this flu type thing I'm going to be site building and designing once again :) Hope to get it all sorted before Christmas so that It's ready to go for the new year both in Hemel and with the guys we're taking up from Dawlish!

Anyhoo, my head hurts now from staring at this screen so I'm going to go. God Bless...

I don't like the dark - it makes me feel tired! That and all the other stuff that's going on!

Well here I am sat in the church office (which is warm ;) preping for all the stuff that's coming up over the next few days. Got a meeting in a mo about the Christmas special for our crusaders group, in the college tommorrow, interviewing Adie Camp (former member of the Benjamin Gate) tommorrow afternoon for the SE/BFT podcast, a lllooooonnnggg PCC meeting tommorrow night, then Wednesday College, Primary School, Impact Club, Team Meeting and Crusaders... no wonder I get Thursday as a day off!!

Anyhoo, life is going ok at the mo, apart from the whole being very tired thing - I'm sleeping loads at the moment and not even that is helping. Might ask some wise person somewhere for some advice! I have just done online activity one for my OU politics course which is going ok, just need to do some reading now (just hope the author of this book is a tad less biased!). I'd better get on with some planning and look lively!

God Bless...

First November 2007 and I just bought a computer - thanks OU!

Back in Loughborough on a few days holiday though there are a few things such as OU essays and such likes that just don't seem to respect the hallowed holiday time! I've got to write something about the extent to which politics is a part of daily life. I really feel like going for the hard option of arguing that it affects us but we are not part of the process - not because I believe it but because the guy who wrote the book for the module was so biased I feel there is some balance needing to be addressed!

Talking of OU I have just used my grant to buy a PC! It's a nice one that plugs into the TV and is also a 64-bit chip which is good. It's going to go in the flat where soon Internet and Phone will exist - all provided for by sky!

So essay today, got a funeral tommorw afternoon and meeting with DRAT tommorow evening, then Friday early train back to be in time for publicity commitee meeting and Quake in the evening. Anyhoo, my tea is getting cold and I want to post some people on my space. God Bless...

Using dial up in Hemel, on team retreat!

Currently on team retreat in Hemel, with shockingly, the team! It's been quite good so far we've been doing some service planning, camp strategy and a few trips out including a great day in London. I've also bought a PS2 with singstar and buzz which is awesome and has been keeping me out of trouble (as long as the neighbours don't complain!). Wasn't too expensive either which was good - twas a special offer in argos!

Going out bowling tonight where Suzie and Dan are joining us, and then it's back to Dawlish tomorrow - which is kind of sad :( Luckily I'm on holiday from Monday-Friday next week (hurrah!) going back to Loughborough. Looking forward to the bowling tonight though. My main aim is to win! Tee hee! Anyhoo, I'm going to get a cup of tea and clear up. God Bless...
