BO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just got back to sunny Andover from a long weekend in London with Corinne. Went out in Clapham on Friday night but we were home by 12.30 as Corinne and her flat mate Nina decided to hit the Southern Comfort early and it all got a bit messy! I did warn them, but would they listen....Had a really good night though. There are some really nice bars there, but the prices were pretty sick. Me and Darryl (Corinne's other flat mate) went ahead of the girls as they were taking way too long to get ready for our liking! Anyway, so I get a pint of Carling and a Vodka for Darryl, yeah £9.20. Cheers. Turns out they only serve doubles, but I still think that was a bit much!

Headed into central London on Sat (after i had built Corinne's new bed!), and went to the National Gallery. How cultured of me! I really enjoyed it actually and it was nice to do something different to getting ball bagged! We then went for dinner in Chinatown, and stopped off for a pint in the Chandos before heading home. Me, Corinne and Nina went out for a few in Balham on Sunday night, but other than that we just chilled out and watched a few films.

I really like London, and I'm getting so tempted to move there myself at some point. First I need to get some cash together! Despite the job situation things are going good at the moment and I'm actually happy for a change.

Me, Gareth and Kev have booked two weekends away as well which im really looking forward to. Our return flight to Rimini (Italy) was £9.98!!! Nearly the same as my round the other night which is a joke. Thats 3rd - 8th July and then we go to St Tropez 4th - 9th Sept. Also Corinne got tickets to the Red Bull thing in Hyde Park in two weeks so im going up to London for that.

Right time to find some temp work for the rest of the week....great

Edit: I am so bloody bored today and there is no temp work going for tomorrow....Wtf am I supposed to do with my time in, theres nothing to do in Andover, arrrgggghh!!!!!

Fingers Crossed!!

Found a couple of jobs in London I really like, so have applied for them today. Coincidently one of them is in Balham, which is the area Corinne lives in. Its for a subscriptions manager, and the money is fairly good so would be worth the traveling each day. Plus its an easy commute from Andover, just one change at Clapham Junction and no tubes! Still not had any luck getting a temp job in Andover. I'm going up to London for the night today, just to get out of Andover really. Plus its the only chance i'll get to see Corinne until Bank Holiday weekend :(

Poker is off the menu at the moment and will be until at least Saturday. The break is definitely needed. Although I noticed my Rakeback payment went in today which is a healthy boost to the bankroll.

AARRRGHGHHGHG!!!!!!!!!!!

This seriously cant continue any longer. Beat after beat after fooking beat. Its beyond a joke now. I got my money in, well ahead four times today in tournaments and got 2 outered every time. So sick. I was going well in the $10,000 guarantee, and there is this donk on my right with loads of chips....great double up time. Had AJ on the button and he called my raise after limping. Flop J94 rainbow. He checks, i bet pot coz i know hes a fish and he insta raises me all in. He had me outchipped so i think about his range for a bit and decide im probably ahead so i call. Sure enough he flips A9 and im 90% to win the hand........turn brings 9 and im gone. This happened a couple more times before i eventually gave up.

Think I need to have a break for a bit, but I've picked a really bad time to give up my hobby, as i have literally nothing to do until the bank holiday weekend!

Nothing really happening on the job front yet. Registered with a few agencies now, but apparently there isnt a lot going in Andover at the moment. Seriously considering getting a job in London, which would probably make sense for me right now.

All change

Been putting off updating the blog. Things have changed quite a lot for me over the last couple of months and im not sure all of it is for the best yet but we'll see. I dont regret coming back from Oz, but it has led me to face some things earlier than i would have done. I think I am doing the right thing but it doesnt make it any easier. I am starting to feel happier about it though.

Poker wise its been the unluckiest week ever! I cant hit a flush draw, nothing holds up, bla blaaaa. I've not played my best but the luck element has really bit me on the ass this week.
