Remembering some stuff

I've started to remember some stuff from the last few days, you would think I'd been drinking but have only had 2 pints in the last 3 weeks (on Thursday). I really am getting sad, although will be out this Friday in Durham but again gonna try not to drink more than 5 pints.

Anyway on Monday I sent a load of stuff off to the solicitors to do with my mortgage conditions (weren't really any, other than pay it). I also had to send a load of other forms off like my mortgage deeds. Then yesterday I received my environmental search results which says it PASSED. Although the covering letter from the solicitor says they can't make any recommendation and see page 2 for the results (PASSED in size 40 font). The letter doesn't say what I have to do now, do they want me to ring and say everything it fine. They are useless, wish I had gone with a local solicitor nor through Bairstowe Eves.

I will give them a call tomorrow and see what I have to do now, I think I might be waiting on a coal mining search. I had to pay some extra to have it done but it wasn't with the others. They just went ahead and did it, I would of told them not to bother if they'd asked.

I was supposed to go for a walk with my parents yesterday but when I woke up I had stomach pains, so didn't go. I was OK later in the day. I was then going to go on my own today but I slept in, can't even remember switching my alarm off. When I did get up, it was very foggy anyway, so wouldn't of gone.

I don't seam to of done anything much all weekend other than sit at this thing (computer). I've re-done some of my website (DVD list) although not accessible by anyone else yet.

Also just remembered I ordered a Bluetooth Headset for my phone, its a cheap one from Dabs but it gets good reviews. This is my only purchase that could be called a luxury all month, if you can call £23.22 luxury (I think not). Normally I seam to spend several hundred pounds every month on computer stuff or other things like that. I did need a headset as people keep ringing me when I'm driving or recently in the bath.

So although I have remembered some stuff, it's no wonder I forgot it because it's all boring. I could really do with a holiday to get away from everything at the moment but I can't because of the house. Although I think I could go away for 2 weeks and I don't think much would of happened.

Just remembered something else about the week. On Tuesday I went to Hardwick Hall for an IT Conference. It was to tell IT staff how things are progressing and probably try to make us all feel better (group hug). Whatever, Jonathan said that I sounded a bit sceptical. I've been through this whole thing before on a smaller scale in a previous job and it seams to be following the same path. I hope I'm wrong as they f*cked it up. One moment they are telling you how they want to do this then somebody else says something to contradict it. There was one person there that filled me with some hope, he was talking about an IT Profession within Government, as there isn't really one at the moment and the need to train people to retain them. So I live in hope...
