Top of the league in Fantasy Football

Its been a good week from a Fantasy Football point of view. I used some of the transfers I've been saving and have jumped from 3rd to 1st. There are only 7 or 8 games left so I'm hoping I've made my move at the right time and I can see it though at the top till the end.

Deb has a quack's appoinment this morning for some counselling. She is pretty worried about it but hopefully its gonna help. She had a pretty bad day yesterday which I;m hoping doesn't happen too often cos they are hard days.

Koopa had his balls cut off on Wednesday so he was pretty out of it Wednesday night and pretty quiet yesterday. He seems a bit more perky this morning but we have to try not to let him tear arse about until a week on Saturday which is gonna be difficult ;-)

United play Bolton tomorrow which I'm a bit worried about cos they are a bogey team for us. Still, we've been playing well so we should do it!

Got me a new tattoo

Its been a while since my last post cos I'm still finding things a bit hard looking after Deb but she is still improving which is obviously very good. I on the other hand have got a chest infection which just won't budge which doesn't make things any easier!

I've been on semi holiday this week to help with looking after Deb and I'm doing the same thing next week. Basicall, I've booked 5 days off so I have to do 2 and a half days a week each week. Its working out quite well.

I got a new tattoo yesterday afternoon. Its an Ankh and its on the inside of my right wrist. It hurt like hell having it done and its pretty swollen now but it looks good which is what really matters.

With it being Mother's Day and all that, me and my brother Ian are cooking a meal for our Mom round at his house after the football. United are playing Birmingham which on paper looks an easy game but I reckon they'll be riled and more up for it after being thrashed 7 - 0 by Liverpool in the cup mid week.

Hard work!

Well, Deb is improving but very slowly and its taking its toll on me. Its bloody hard work having to look after Deb, Koopa, Yoshi and Daisy and do everything round the house and make meals and so on and so on and so on. Still, the key word is improving and its gonna take a while but Deb is getting better which is the only thing that matters.

To make life a bit easier I've taken next week off work although I will be trying to get work done when I can and claiming the time back seeing as work have been good enough to let me have the time off at such short notice.

On the up side, I bought Fight Night for the 360 on Friday and its a very good game!

Quiet weekend

Our mate Jen is a life saver. Koopa has really been stressing Deb out over the last few weeks and I've been too busy to be training him properly and stuff so Jen took him off our hands for the weekend. She took him Friday night and I'll get him back later on today sometime. Its been so peaceful without him but we both have to admit, especially me, that we miss having him around. I read all of the book The Practical Dog Listener this morning by Jan Fennal and if the stuff inside it works then we are on to a winner.

To add to Deb's troubles she has now got a bad back as well which is a nightmare for us in terms of going shopping so yesterday we shopped online with Tesco for everything except for the fruit and veg which I'm gonna get from Morrisons in about half an hour. It is getting delivered this afternoon and if it works out well we are gonna always do this and get fruit and veg from the local farmers market and shops.

Still busy as hell with work, did some yesterday and a little this morning (been up hours cos I couldn't sleep) but I'm not gonna do anymore today cos I have some DIY to do and United to watch against Newcastle. Come on you reds!

Soooo busy

Just a quick update to say that I've been doing nothing but work and looking after Deb and the dog.

Really busy with work cos I'm looking at re-architecting one of our systems.

Deb isn't doing too good still and the pills she is on have horrible side effects.

Dog is being a pain in the arse!

Daizy is much better (touch wood!)

Well, Daizy is def back to her old self now other than the yellow around her shit but she has only been off the antibiotics for a day so that may still clear up. She is currently chirping away extremely loudly while Yoshi chases her around.

Deb still isn't too good. She's been back to the doctors and has been put on meds for the problem. She goes back again a week tomorrow when I reckon she will get signed off work for at least another month to start with. The meds are really messing with her stomach at the moment which should settle after a week or 2 but it means she doesn't want to eat and I'm having to force her. It should all come good in the end though.

Come on United tomorrow night against Wigan!

Deb and Daizy haven't been well

Deb has been signed off work for 2 weeks with stress which will be reviewed at the end of the 2 weeks to see if she needs more time off. She's been really down about work lately cos her boss and the girl she has to work closely with are both wankers and no matter how hard she tries to ignore it she can't stop it getting to her. She's not been sleeping well because of it which has really added to the problems. The doctor she's seeing seems like a good guy though which is one thing going in her favour. Deb's gonna look for a new job when she's feeling up to it, possibly just a part time one.

Also, Daizy hasn't been too good. We took her to the vets on Saturday morning cos she just wasn't herself. She was just sitting there falling asleep, would hardly eat anything and wouldn't have any water at all. To top it all off, she didn't even try to escape when I caught her first time to put her in the small cage to take her to the vets. The vet thought she had a respiritory problem and possibly a liver problem because the area round her shit is yellow and it should be clear. She gave her an injection of an antibiotic called Baytril and prescribed a weeks course of it. Daizy was perked up by the next day and looks back to her old self now except for the area round her shit is still yellow. We're keeping an eye on that and hopefully it will clear up after the antibiotics are out of her system.

At least United won the donkey cup!
