So how did we all do then?! Apologies for the delays, if you're wondering what this is all about, look at my previous post! It's a guessing game of sorts...

The FACT in part 1 was - "For all the outward confidence I exuded, I still didn’t get a long term girlfriend until after leaving University."

The LIE in part 2 was - "Meeting Dennis Taylor and his god-awful glasses inside a McDonalds at Charing Cross Station."

So, matheius you don't need to be jealous of me for abusing midgets and you got 1/2 right, thelma_viaduct got 2/2 right but she really should as she is married to me, bumblebee you were wrongly tempted by testicles but correctly saw the Dennis Taylor tale as fiction, 1/2, slender83 also bit the Dennis Taylor bait but was otherwise correct 1/2 and leylarna, sorry 0/2! Thank you one and all!

Which means that this is REALLY a fact - "All because my first words were ‘Jimmy White.”

Isn't life odd?!

1. Job - Toni found this great NHS job more to do with the Media/Communications side of things, I worked for ages on the application but as I'm rubbish at selling myself, she said that she'd look over it, then she got a job in London for a fortnight and they shifted the deadline so I missed out, arse! Still chasing the Council about the Career Day last month, they really are shit at answering their e-mails.
2. OCD - Some improvement, some negatives. Much better out and about, pretty bad checking of stuff departing the house, bah!
3. Save some money - As I've been the only one working during most of March, it's been harder but I've not wildly overspent, so that's good!
4. Finish the novel! - Not so good here, I've been writing on the programme... but not on the novel!
5. Skin Tags - Pisspoor here, I'm afraid. I'm running out of Teatree Oil and need to shave the underarm area to see if it's recurred. I sincerely hope it's not.
6. Fix My Groin - Plenty of swimming and the stretching has picked up. I've got that appointment at our local MRI on April 16th and it's definitely necessary as there was a bit of a recurrence this week, shooting groin pains are not fun!
7. Keep off my weight - Sticking with the Slimfast and exercising, I've been a bit more loose on the diet (specifically chocolate birthday presents!) but my medium boardshorts for my birthday are really well fitting,yay!
8. E-mails - Not much progress here, I'm afraid.
9. Reading - I finished off my Louis Theroux book and will be choosing one of my birthday books, I'm thinking this - http://www.jonronson.com/them.html - as it's in a similar vein.
10. Plan ahead better - I got Toni's big birthday present while she was away, she doesn't have a clue and can't possibly buy it in the meantime! Those are clues, if you're reading this, Toni!

So, 7 out of 10 for this month, a reasonable performance!

Life's been very rude and inconsiderate this weekend with regard Nanowrimo, I've got stuff on that I can't avoid. Rugby League World Cup tickets tonight to see Fiji-Australia in St Helens. I bloody love Fiji, they play RL the right way and I'm probably going to see more Fiji games than England games in this tournament, ha!

Having said that, I've managed to read through the 43 chapters of my novel I've already written and I'm content with it as a basis. I've dug out the document listing my future ideas and plot points and will be adding to them. I'm genuinely excited about this!

Toni's out doing a passplus course driving, I'm super proud of her for confronting her fears with driving. I know I had a mild inner-conflict about going on the Motorway at first but once overcome, I unashamedly love driving now.

Back to reading 'my baby'..!
