May

Mel left Dare but I couldn't make the leaving party.
Sonia had her hen night, everyone was invited, except me of course. I wouldn't have minded, but I had plans and then al lof a sudden, those people I was to meet, ended up going to Son's impromptu party.

First bank holiday, went to Trowbridge for Nick's birthday celebrations. Nice house party, but the first few hours were awkward with Leah being there. Then when she was shit faced drunk, it all came out. She became very emotional and clingy. It was a tough tough weekend. Drove back to London after 2 days and was pretty relieved to be out of there.

Flew to New York again. This time I did Brooklyn properly and checked out more of the Upper West Side. The Van Halen gig at East Rutherford was amazing. The band were ON. I was quite drunk and had a brilliant time. The 2 trips were well worth it after this gig. Spent a fortune on clothes and iPods.

Went to Newcastle and did a charity Zip Slide from the Tyne Bridge to the Gateshead side. Raised about £350 in a short space of time. Real good buzz.

Started Spanish night class.

Went to Sheffield for Sean's stag weekend. It was one of the heaviest days of my life. As soon as I got back to London I met Marie and Jo in a bar in Finsbury park. Felt soooo bad.

Deb gave birth to her first, a girl which they named Olivia. My cone-tract was extended by another 6 months - it's a credit crunch buster :)

To End of April

Had a massive weekend in Newcastle for the home match v Sunderland. We pissed on the dirty mackem filth 2-0 and celebrated by drinking all day and night until I caught a flight back to Stansted for work the next morning. Boy did I feel rough that day.

Went to the filming of Question Time London Mayoral Election Special. Laura had to stand up and ask a question. She was scared that me and Scott were going to play up.

Went to the Love Music Hate Racism festival at Victoria Park in East London, it pissed down with rain all day.
