Well its been a few day's since i have last updated my Blog.
It's been so quiet here at the ARC since Debz has been off work and now Julie is off work for a week I'm going to be such a loner. I have decided to try and give up smoking again on Monday because their both off it should be easier to do and i wont have them asking me to join them for a coffee and cigarette which we call "discussing work issues". I will keep you updated!
Tuesday night i had my driving lesson and a practiced all my maneuvers which i done perfect, i really enjoy doing them as I'm not on the road with other traffic or heading for any rounder bouts. He said my next lesson we will do another mock test and we will discuss putting in for my test depending on the result of my mock. But he has warned me that i cant giggle all throughout my test like i did on my last one. I need to also remember to put my side mirror back up once i have finished my maneuver as i could fail my test on that for observation so you must remind me.
Wednesday in work was quite busy as i had to prepare everything ready for the CDT Meeting, there was not many staff to cover the meeting so i needed to prepare everyone, which included nagging Owen and Claire to get some info for the community newsletter "Your Voice Your Choice". I also spoke to David who provides the ARC with free re-conditioned PCs for student's, Volunteers and groups, he was delivering 10 PCs on Friday.
After work it was time to go shopping for Dylan as the was 9 yesterday. I bought him new goal posts, a new shiny football, new goaly gloves, a pair of boxing gloves when i got home i found out it was a pair of 2 right hand gloves - don't you hate it when you buy something and its the wrong size with the right size hanger on it or 2 left shoe's in your shoe box. And you have to take them back and they don't have the thing you wanted in the first place! Or is it just me? I also bought him a garden game set which includes badminton, volleyball, tennis and other things. I was really hoping that he liked all his presents because last year he had a ticket for Spain to go on holiday a few day's later.
Yesterday morning i was up at 5 i was coming down with a cold, i couldn't breath through my nose and i hate that. I was coughing and had a sore throat. But i got up made some sandwiches and got everyone else up, Dylan, Darren and Todd my bro.
We arrived at Oakwood for 10.00am, the only car in the car park no-one else around. We caught the little train round to the park and we were there on our own for about 2 hours. We went on the Bob Sleigh first then we decided to go on Megaphobia first. This was the first time Dylan was able to go on rides like this as he's always been to short so we took him on there. Well as you can see he was shocked!!
But once we got over the shaky legs and dizzy head bit we couldn't wait try everything and Dylan was ready for anything. After that we went on the pirate ship, the bounce and Speed, this was the scariest ride i have ever been on i have never screamed so much i honestly thought i was going to die especially as there a 2000ft drop.
Open the links on the names of the rides and you will see how fast these rides are
I went on it a few times but Dylan went in it on their own. We didn't have to Que for any rides as there was hardly anyone there. We went on the Hydro slide the one where the girl died on it last year. It only opened 2 - 5pm so nearly everyone in the park was ready for the first ride including us. We started listening to the instructions which was done through speakers the next thing all the power went. I was so scared but we done it and we're all alive. We all got soaked, walked back to the car and made our way home. I am now full of flu and cant wait to finish today as i really need my bed. Keep u all updated next week.
