Well my friend is now back down south, he did some shopping while he was up here as he said it was quite a bit cheaper he spend most of his money of designer clothes but also bought a few little things for his house.
He was going to get the train home but it was going to cost around £150 so i said i could take him for £100 to cover petrol costs and we could at a time that suited him not a time that was in the middle of the night.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do this weekend i might end up gong out into town for a few but I've been asked to play five a side, which i haven't played in ages and i enjoy doing. so i might give that a bash even though I'll be coughing and wheezing for 40 minutes out of the 60 minutes. My fitness will soon pick back up though in a few weeks.

Old friends

I've recently been in contact with an old friend from down south and hes been made redundant after 10 years of working for this smallish company, so he's now looking for jobs in kent. he really enjoyed his last job installing pvc windows. but his boss said that unfortunatly people just aren't spending money on there houses like they where a few years back. Although hes not the newest guy there he's kind of in the middle and was most likely to go. He's got quite a few skills so no doubt he'll be back on with another firm soon but i guess hes still going to be looking for full time jobs in kent in the meantime.

He's taking some time to come up and see me this week so it will be good to catch up with him and show him how us folks from the north live.
