Trying to decide what to do with some money I have been left. Thinking about starting a recovery business.

Waiting for bits for my car to turn up and trying to decide what to order for it next.

Had a few weeks off the gym and needing to get my arse into gear to get into it again.

Ok apart from those trivial issues.

Looking good.

Massive change as I'm gonna be working down south soon. Massive pay increase which is good, and something new.

Fiddle with zetec-se engines like no tomorrow, know a fair whack about them, this time last year I had no chance so that's also good..

Car is being nice to me? faults are getting ironed out etc etc?

Got a few good male and female friends around me, and a couple who I know but rather I didn't know. But that's life!

Still enjoying BMX after getting into it properly around six months ago. Met some awesome people, more friends, had some good times and getting better at it day by day.

Learning to drive at the moment, fifth lesson tomorrow and properly enjoying it and getting on well.

Finishing off my final part review type stuff with school and it's going well. Hopefully going to join college in September doing something.

Ideally like a girlfriend (preferably 'someone'), settled in at college, passed my test and owning a Mini by the end of 2008.

All in all, it's good at the moment and taking each day as it comes and trying to enjoy every moment.

Writing a 15,000 word dissertation and trying to revise for my finals which start in 3 weeks. Also trying to figure out where I'm going to live/what I'm going to do when I finish.
Other than that, counting down the days til my next student loan payment comes through and getting really excited about going to my friends wedding in a few weeks! Oh and trying to decide whether to sod off to another country and get married... Not much really

I reckon you've pretty much just answered your own question unfortunately!

My life atm is good, only downfall is my car is a bare shell looking very sorry for its self, but is it really that bad a thing on the grand scale of things? Would love it to be ready for summer, but with lots of welding/paint/engine build and generally spending a shit load of cash I doubt it will be...

Also going to the caribbean in a few weeks

Ha! you idiot. You realise he is probably banging everything left, right and centre while youre waiting around for him? I know I would be.

My life is a shit at the moment My job pays quite poorly but is good fun. i've just replaced my m3 with a saff cossie which I'm now regretting as its already costing me a fortune.

The only good thing I can think of is that most of the women i know are total whores.

Been retired over a year now & cant imagine how you guys fit in work, certainly no time for that in my schedule .
Still doing a few wiring jobs for Mark & get to work on some nice cars but dont want too much of it now.
Must get on with my own car but its taking time, it will happen but going to Canada in June so it wont be done before that im sure.
Im more content & happy than ive ever been in my life, you guys can keep all the stress, striving to achieve lark had my fair share of that, my 60's are proving to be rather special.

He sounds like an Idiot, I advise you not to wait around for anyone because life is too short and the fact of the matter is, he shouldn't have to decide. He would know if he wanted to be with you. And let's be honest, you're not going to be short of lads who fancy you and you could be waiting forever.

Things are good, the M5 is great fun every single day and I am looking forward to the convoys to trackdays and meets this summer, especially as Stupers has one too, so we can race.....

Oh, I forgot to mention I now have a residency at a strip club in Blackpool, Wildcats Friday and Saturday nights, DJing......

Now that cant be a bad life.

Oh and last but not least, I have some GREAT friends around me, Stu and Nicole, AJ, Butch, Big Nose Fake Tan Backwax Marlon and Kettering Ben just to name a few which is the main thing.

nothing to complain about

but i could always do with more money to keep tucked away and not spend

the mrs isn't doing so well though as she's preggers and it's a struggle (off sick today and tomorrow)

juior is always happy

the folks are miserable, but nothing new there

my brother was off to sydney doing the same job for his currently employer on £60k but his company have offered him £80k a year to stay in dublin so he's wieghing up the pros and cons

everyone else is generally feeling better since the start of the sunshine

my cousin's hubby was caught doing the dirty on her so she's not best pleased, but is happy at getting £140k payout from the sale of the house

mines got its ups and downs,

had an operation on my back in march so spent 6 weeks off work recovering from that,
whilst off missus of 9 years decided she wants to split up, has been on cards for ages cos we werent getting along and personal stuff that made me realise shes taking me for a mug,she'll leave me in quite a bit of debt so house is now up for sale and i'll be back with my folks when sale goes through, christ i turn 30 this year and will be back at my parents, not something i thought i'd be, lol

But..... on the upside i have loads of great mates around me who are very supportive, and a great job which takes me all over the country, working with all UK based F1 companies cant be bad, lol

life tends to throw these challenges at you so just gotta take rough with the smooth and i know in a year or so time i'll be back on my feet.

Baz.
