Game quality sucks lately

I took Top Spin 2 back the other day and pre ordered Fifa and just got a voucher for the money. Like I said, Top Spin really was crap. I also decided I was bored with Project Gotham so I swapped that along with £20 for Tomb Raider: Legend on the 360. Now its not that its a bad game but its a bit repetative. I'm about 2 hours in and I'm getting a bit bored and I'm thinking that I'm gonna get my money back at the weekend. I might not complete it before I take it back but I reckon I would have completed it within an extra week and I ain't paying £50 for that! I've still got Kameo to complete anyway.

Rant over, back to work.

Knackered my back

Well, it seems I may have hurt my back playing badminton. It didn't start hurting until a few days after I played but its really been hurting since then. I spoke to my physio about an hour ago and she's told me that my MRI results have just been looked at by the consultant and there are a few options for me all revolving around various types of injections in my back. I've got an appointment to see her to discuss on May 3rd.

Deb has been to the quacks again and he thinks that she is improving but not quickly enough for his liking so he's doubled her dose of happy pills. Along as she gets better thats all that matters!

On a totally different note, I'm still top of Fantasy football! My tinkering at the weekend paid off quite well but the gap to second still isn't big enough for my liking.

Right, I'm off to pick up Deb's mates Krupa and Zorha cos they are coming for tea.

Deb is improving

Deb is still slowly improving. I don't think she can see it but its happening and although its slow its a relief. We had Suf and Jen round for tea last night with Lucy in tow and Deb managed to get through helping cook a meal and deal with 2 mad dogs all night. She was quiet at times but she got through it really well!

United however were frickin' shite last night and I reckon they've blown the slim chance they had of winning the league now. In Fantasy football I'm still top of the league and I've just done a few transfers that will hopefully see me stay there. I've still got 3 transfers left as well and most teams only have 5 games left so with some clever changes over the next few weeks I should be able to ride it out (touch wood).

I traded Fifa on the 360 for Top Spin 2 the other day cos the new Fifa is out at the end of the month and I wanted to make sure I got good money for the trade in. Top Spin is shite though. Its certainly no Virtua Tennis! I'm gonna get my money back during the week and just wait for the new Fifa.

Right, I'm off cos I've got a badminton court booked for in 25 minutes with Suf. I figure I might as well have a go and hope I don't knacker my back.

Deb just had a vist from work

The assistant director and someone from HR from where Deb works just came to visit her to see how she's getting on. Deb's been really worried about this meeting for a few days but it was a lot better than she had been thinking and while she's still pretty upset she does know that it went well. Its sounds like they will pay for counselling rather than waiting a year before getting it on the NHS which is damn good and also the statutory sick pay is for 28 weeks starting when her work stop paying her which is also good.

Koopa seems to be doing ok after having his balls chopped off. Gill has said that she can take his stiches out so that I don't have to take him to Poulton so that saves some hassle.

I'm still top of the league in Fantasy football and have opened up a 10 point gap!
