Friday 6th November

No Becks this time at Aon's networking lunch...and i'm not really a fan of wine, so alcohol wasn't too hard to avoid thankfully.

food was excellent. why can't my company use First Taste for catering??


The Evening - probably the hardest one yet...mid way through the ordeal.
Had my first dream about beer on thursday night - made me feel all warm and cosy inside!!
Felt agitated and really tired...a few beers would have sorted this out nicely - as it was i had to put up with wasted folk in mojo for 3 and a half hours!!
Some good support from barman Simon Yardley helped me through.
Night took a turn for the worst when some guy fell/slipped down the stairs - would assume he was unconscious - ambulance was there for ages!! hope he's alright.

Thursday 5th November

No fireworks or bonfires for me. First time ever i think!!

It was Maven Capital's First Thursday event in Grinch - my favourite free bar...hardly remember being there in October - pints 10 to 15 (that i remember) were consumed as part of my 30th birthday weekend build up.

Anyhow - in grinch the cups for the tea were small and pointless, so cranberry and OJ all the way...

It was mentioned how weird it was to see me sober at 8.30pm at a First Thursday Event - another first for me...

Wednesday 4th November

could have well done with a beer, or four...

Car wouldn't start, nor would it jump start. Bump started ok though after much huffing and puffing...

stressful drive to Padfield hoping it didn't conk out. Back to Chorlton for a SHYTE chinese.

a few beers would have chilled me out nicely...one month and one day to go!!

Tuesday 3rd November

Trip to cinema - not even i think about having a beer at the cinema...

Saw Michael Jackson's This Is It. Just bits and bobs from the rehearsals - but OMG i reckon it would have been a good show. Had tickets for the 4th show - gutted!!

Monday 2nd November

Dinner round at a friend's house. Deliberately drove to remove the "wine with dinner" temptation...took a bottle of wine with though as thanks...

excellent food and company. cheers freddie and susie.

Saturday 31st October

House hunting in the day time - could have well done with a beer break!!

Kebab for mid pm snack then off to town to The English Lounge to meet up (two pints of water), then to the MEN Arena for the Green Day gig - awesome. Probably the best gig i've ever been to.

Straight to a halloween party after that. Everyone was wrecked by the time i got there...difficult times...
Made it through though. And my smoke machine went down pretty well!!

Friday 30th October

not much to report unusually for a friday...

Lunch with Philip Wong of Hursts in The Old Grapes. he had Becks Vier, I ad water (and a lamb shank with mash, peas and gravy).

The evening consisted of a quick stop at a mate's house in Chorlton
on a pot of tea in The Bridge in town. Rest of evening was spent in excellent company - you know who you are.
