wrestlemania

wrestlemania is only 7 weeks away now! ive had my ticket bought since last may so ive been looking forward to it for quite a while!!

i had thought this would be a one off but now im thinking i could make this a regular thing but ill see how much i enjoy my trip to houston and then decide. 

really looking forward to meeting some of the wrestlers and divas and cant wait for the hall of fame ceremoney and of course wrestlemania itself. monday night raw the night after should also be fantastic. i decided to stay an extra night in houston and im glad i did as bruce springsteen is playing that night and ive managed to get a ticket! 

been looking forward to this holiday for quite a while and its got to the stage where im literally counting the days because i really need a break. its going to be a fun 10 days :)

cup final

this time 2 weeks the carling cup final will be all over!

 im so excited bout going to my first cup final, im not exaggerating when i say ive been waiting for this day for nearly 20 years!!!

the next step

been thinking a lot lately  bout what my next move should be.

work recently changed their career break policy which means from this august im entitled to go away for a year or so and have a job to come back to. Canada will always have a special place in my heart and im strongly considering going there for a while, its been in my thoughts for a long time but maybe its time to just go for it.

London is an option purely because of spurs, i loved living near white hart lane a few years ago and if i job came up over there it could happen again.

then theres enniskillen. it is home and it always will be i think. its where my family is and if the right opportunity arose then i would have to consider going back down.

belfast is great but its not home, at the moment its just serving a purpose. ive got a good job close to where i live and my house is also handy for both airports etc etc.

part of me would like to sell my house and go travelling for a while but with the housing market the way it is id prob make a profit of £500 which really wouldnt take me very far!

2009

Im really looking forward to 2009, ive got a few things planned and im sure there will also be many unplanned things that also happen.

so far ive got:

spurs v burnley on 6th jan

spurs v the scum on 8th feb

trip to texas for wrestlemania at start of april

wwe in the odyssey

belfast marathon in may

i would love to go to see spurs in a cup final this year but im not going to tempt fate by saying it will defintely happen! id also love to get a trip to canada in the summer but ill have to check the finances!

im also hoping to be involved in the ballysillan football week again and reach in august, both these things were highlights of my year and im sure they will be even better next year!

2008 has been amazing, full of ups and downs and ive got so many happy memories of the year. i feel ive learned so much about life, myself and had my eyes opened in so many ways. its a year i will never forget.

RIP Kathy.

December

December started off with a days filming on a drama about george best, it was great fun although flippin freezing and a rediculously early start! 

i was meant to go and see the pogues but i had to miss it due to my filming schedule. 

i only typed the above line cos i think it makes me sound like im up my own ass. im not really. honest.

went to london on 11th december and was totally loaded with the cold, the weekend is a bit of a blue looking back but i do remember being at spurs to watch us draw with united, great performance by the boys! came back from london and spent the next week lying in front of the tv as i had no energy for doing anything else and felt crap. eventually gave in and went to the doc and found out i had bronchitis and was put off work for another week.

 on the plus side it meant i got some much needed time off and got to spend some extra time with my family over christmas. on the negative side - i felt like crap!
