June

The house was meant to be finished this month. It wasnt. This was a frustrating month in many way as there were lots of deadlines to be met and when some werent it caused a lot of hassle and stress as it meant something else was then help up. It was a month full of meetings and trying to get things finalised. I began getting properly stressed this month, this went on for quite a while!

in lighter news i went to see billy connolly in the waterfront - flippin hilarious! the man is an absolute legend and on top of everything else is flippin hilarious!!!

May

Weather wise, may was fantastic which meant things got off to quite a good start with the house. It was really hectic this month having to run around looking for things for the house and i seemed to have constant meetings with builder, electrician, plumber etc etc. i seemed to barely have a miute to myself although i did manage to squeeze in a wee trip to spurs for the last home game of the season, the lap of honour was quite sad this year as i knew that a fair few of the players would be leaving the club.

may was notable as well for the belfast marathon which i completed. most people are quick to point out that i only walked it and it took me 7hours 20 mins but i couldnt care less. it was a challenge and i raised money for charity, im almost looking forward to doing it again next year. was very grateful to have nicky with me on the day and really appreciated his encouragement when i was starting to struggle! ill never forget the pain i felt the next day but it was worth it! 

April

April was interesting. I went to 2 spurs games and also was front row at wwe at the odyssey which was excellent! Renovation work started on my house so things were a bit hectic, i moved in with jude, ray and craig for what was meant to be a couple of weeks but it went on slightly longer! I also turned 26 which was quite depressing. im not big on celebrating birthdays so just went out for lunch with a few mates and watched the man utd game in the pub that night. 

overall things started to get quite hectic this month with the renovations, uni work and working extra hours with the simon community.

March

March was without a doubt the saddest month of the year. one of the residents i used to work with in my previous job passed away on 21st. although it wasnt entirely unexpected it was bloody hard to deal with, i literally spent the whole evening it tears when i was told about it. thankfully someone swapped shifts with me so i coud go to kathy's funeral, it was such a bizarre thing because we were all sharin stories and laughing our heads off because she was such a funny person but the next minute we'd b crying cos we all miss her even thought she gave us hell at times! im so thankful to have known her and im so thankful that she's not in pain in anymore, i like to think she's in heaven looking down on us and laughing at how upset we all are that she's not here - she had an interesting sense of humour!
March was the month that i decided to renovate my house, long term im hoping it was the right decision!!

February

February was probably my favourite month of the year! went to a northern ireland game on 6th and the next day flew to canada for a little break! i love canada and i love lots of people that live there. usually id have a big group of teenagers with me and id be there doing youth work of some kind so it was amazing just to fly over there on my own without having to worry about other people and spend some time with some amazing people and just chill out. i also got to visit tim horton's quite a lot! one intersting thing was when i was in a church one sunday the roof had been leaking and someone prayed at the start that the roof wouldnt leak during the service and it didnt. however when the service ended i turned on my phone and and there numerous texts for me to call home, i did and my mum informed me that a radiotor had burst in my house and there was water everywhere. i admit i found this hilarious, no major damage done or anything - God definately has a sense of humour! overall canada was brilliant and i loved being in hope again and loved seeing everyone again and was bowled over by how nice everyone was to me while i was there!
on 24th feb Spurs beat chelsea 2-1 to win the carling cup, its fair to say i was flippin delighted!! some bitter chelsea fans have tried to tell me that it means nothing and its a worthless cup but the fact that they played their strongest team would suggest otherwise. i hate sour grapes amongst football fans!!

January

Janauary started off in chris and ciara's house, i hate new years eve with a passion but in fairness this wasnt a bad night. January wasnt bad i guess, had 2 trips to spurs inclusind the amazing night where we beat arsenal 5-1 at the lane! i will never forget that night as long as I live! Sadly as we were walking out of the ground the news came through that heath ledger had died. this fet quite surreal as I had auditioned afew hours earlier to be in a movie with him. In happier news spurs signed jonathon woodgate, chris gunter and allan hutton. unfortunately we also signed gilberto and jermain defoe was sold to portsmouth. aside from being at spurs i pretty much just worked and fitted in trips to the cinema.

2008

so 2008 has been an interesting year and just for my own amusement im going to review it month by month over the next few days.
