February

Car after crash11th February 2005: Went to see Runrig at Royal Centre in Nottingham, with Scott and Matthew. It was a great night. So thanks to Scott for planning it all. If you have heard heard of Runrig before, which most of you will have not. It's a Scottish Celtic Band. They are very good indeed. I would recommend, that you give them a go.

14th February 2005: Rob and myself spend our first Valentine's day together. The first of many, I am sure. But then every day is Valentine's day with me, since it's my last name.

22rd February 2005: Rob and myself have now been going out for 1 year. So happy first anniversary to us. I am sure this will be just the first of many, many anniversary's for us too. Since we love each other so much.

25th February 2005: I crashed my car. I was not happy at all. But these things do happen. At least Rob and myself were both OK. So that was the main thing. The front of the car as had better days. But I am sure it will be fixed.

March

Jimmy4th April 2005: It was two years ago today that Jimmy died. I still of course really do miss him. If you have ever, had a pet die, then you will know, now I feel.

5th April 2005: I took my car to a garage called J S Holmes in a place called Wisbech St Mary. To get fixed and MOTed after the accident, that I had in my car back in February.

May

7th May 2005: I could not believe it, when I turned on the news, to found out that The Labour Party, had won the General Election. Why people vote, for them, I have no idea at all.

7th May 2005: I could just believe it when I turned on the Jeremy Vine show on BBC Radio 2. When he said that Kylie Minogue, who's only just 37. As been diagnosed with breast cancer.

10th July 2005: I cycled all the way to and from work in Peterborough for the first time. So in other words a roud trip of just over 44 miles.

August

September

5th September 2005: I toke my car to a local garage to get it looked at. Because it's been making a very loud noise, for a while. They told me, that both of the front wheel bearings, had gone and so had one of the back ones. It total, it cost me £302.82, to get it fixed. At least, it's driving like a dream again.

29th September 2005: I turned 26, god I am getting so old! For my birthday, my boyfriend Rob, send me real flowers though the post. I would say it's the most romantic thing's, that anyone as ever done for me.

October

Myself in York6th October 2005: I have now owned my car for one year.

15th October 2005: I got a straitjacket today, that I ordered over 1 month ago. Why a straitjacket, I hear you ask. It's because I was always wanted one. And when I am a bad boy. Rob can put me in it, for hours at a time. Till I am good again.

29th October 2005: Rob and myself went to York for the day. While in York, we went to the National Railway Museum, York Minister and lots of other places. York is a great City, with so much to do and see there. I am sure what we will both go up, again next year.

November

7th November 2005: I booked the train tickets for Rob and myself, to go up to Scotland in December.

22rd November 2005: Rob and myself have now been going out for 1 year and 9 months. So in just 3 months, we will have been going out for 2 years. God time is going by so fast right now.
