Ahh, fulfilment! Been wanting to make one of those for ages!

I was in nottingham for 2 weeks this time, and i think i've been working there for a month already! The fop stuff went well, and the boss-guy paul said that me and alan would get champagne if we finished it in the week, and we did.. It was a bit of a long friday though.. I did 11.5 hours! My moet and chandon is on the drinks rack for the parents.. Maybe I should find myself a pretty cabinet and some cake..

Anyways, I got congrats from some people I dont know, but I think they're important, so thats good. I was a little worried that I wasn't doing anything useful this week, but the things which I have done have been for a good reason, so its okay.

I bought a digital drum machine doodah, since I saw a proper usb digital one in maplin for 160, which is this one, i think. I'm hoping it will give me a better appreciation for timing and rythym, but apart from using it the first two days, I havent really touched it.

I also got some proper trainers for once.. Thats my first pair of nike air trainers! *joy*

Apart from having to buy new tshirts and handwash my underwear, the weekend was quite chilled... I went for some walks in parks and things and took some pictures so I could draw from the photographs.. I've drawn the b&b where I'm staying, and I dont think I did too badly.. I want to paint it and frame it, and give it as a gift when I leave, so I want to put some effort into it!

I'm trying to go for this nice flat I saw at the moment, but my credit rating is a bit of a worry. I changed my details with the bank so it doesnt look like I'm unemployed anymore, but I'm unsure if it will help.. I need to get a credit report or something. The flat itself is quite spacious with a really nice view out the back of grass surrounded by trees.

I'm changing my picture back.. The pirate one is giving me pain.

Oh btw, my eyes have been aching at work recently (i think because my left eye is doing all the work, and the right is left behind a bit), so I've had an eyetest, and ordered some glasses to see if that helps. I'm also trying to lower the refresh rate on the tft, and see if that helps too.
