Everybody say hello to BOB the black moor goldfish, and MARLON the random gold-white-fish with a orange spot on his head.

My mother in law got them for me and gem as a 6 month anniversary present. I got home to find them swimming round in my fish bowl happy as pigs in shit!

I have never seen fish so energetic, they dart around the tank chasing each other and playing. Gem and her mum got them from Maidenhead Aquatics at the dukeries garden centre in worksop. They test their tanks every hour for infections etc, and you get a 7 day guarentee with the fish. The guarentee is just peace of mind though, as you can tell how healthy the fish are!

I had a fantastic night last night, me and gem ate a hand cooked olstar pasta speciality, then had a nice bath and moved my room round a bit as we are gonna decorate soon. It was nice to spend time with gemma, and gemma alone. No one rang me or bothered me. It was lovely.

Its nearly the weekend again, me and dave are busy as hell as usual - in fact i have work to do so bye bye

Well, for regular readers or visitors to my blog you’ll remember that back in september 06 i met a girl who changed my life completley. Just reading back to that time brings a smile to my face. The exact date that me and Gem got together properly was over shadowed on my blog by the fact the carphone warehouse had pissed me off beyond belief. But there is still a mention in there

Anyway, 6 months has passed since then, and things are still going great. Every now and then i do something that upsets Gem, and its down to me not thinking things through properly. But saying that, every now and then gem might say something that upsets me too. I guess neither of us are perfect. I messed up yesterday for example, but after i had explained and appologised she had forgiven me. Love, and being in a relationship is about forgiving and understanding - and we have that.

What i will say is that over the last 6 months i have felt myself get closer to Gem than anyone i have ever known. She has become my best friend, and is my soul mate. I talk to gem about the tinyest of things, and she doesnt ignore - she listens and gives her opinion. She has her own life too, and by that i mean her own career and hobbies. This sometimes means that i cant get a word in when we are talking. But i really like that, as i like listening to her. The conversations are not all started by me which any male will know is a bonus

The bottom line is that i am in love - to the extent that i would do anything and everything for her. And the last 6 months of my life have been the most amazing 6 months ever. I hope there are many, many more!

From time to time everyone makes mistakes, and sometimes something you do no matter how harmless it may seem it the time, may turn out hurtin the people who are closest to you.

One of the worst thing’s about hurtin the people closest to you - especially when you feel as depressed as i do - is that you feel completley empty, and nothin can take that feeling away, except the sound of one persons voice.

Im writin this now and i feel like a fool, i feel like a letdown, but on top of it all i feel angry with myself as if i had thought things through i could of avoided all this. I feel as if i could of lost the most important thing in my life right now.

This couldnt of come at a worst time either, as it is mine and gemma’s 6 month anniversary tomora. Happy 6 months babe they have been the happiest 6 months i have had in a long time. I love you and im sorry for bein a retard.

I arrived home last night, to find my beloved trevor fish on his side and looking a bit discoloured. I paniced, and immediatley changed his water so that it was fresh. Whilst he was out of his main bowl and in the temp one that i put him in while hes being cleaned he started tilting loads to his side. It was so upsetting seeing him like that. He has been so strong and fought it off for so long.

I put him back in his main tank but left the bridge out. I thought id leave out the chance of putting something potentially infected back in his tank. He seemed OK to be honest, wasnt swimming on his side any more, but his balance was all fucked up. I gave him some snap and went out for the night.

I came home and the first thing i did was check on him and he still seemed OK. He didnt look right, but i thought he might jsut be trying to get better. I went to sleep with a little tear in my eye, and woke up about 7am to find him floating on the top of the tank.

To say he’s a little £2.50 fish, i was really really upset.

I have jus told gemma and she seemed upset too. I dont care what she says, im buying another fish tonight. I need to have a fishy now. I want trev back tho
Anyway, im so going to kill the woman in that pet shop. I cant exactly take a dead fish to work with me so i havent exactly got proof, but im gonna go in and moan like fuck!

I could honestly cry
R.I.P Trevor.

Me and gemma went out and bought a new tank, and a new fish the other day. Now either reggie (the new fish) or the new tank, or the new stuff for “cleaning” the water - has caused reggie to die, and take margaret with him.

I wasnt too bothered when reggie died, as we only had him about a week. But we have had marge for weeks and she was trevs bird. Now we are really worried trev will die as it might of been an infection. If he does im gonna take him down to that fucking pet shop and go insane. Trev is my first fish, and the bestest. If he dies then so does the woman in the shop.

Time go’s so fast nowadays. I havent clock-watched for ages. It was one of the things i did pretty much every single day when i was employed. Id have done my work for about 4pm, and id be clock-watching to till half 5.
We have been in business now for 3 and a half months, and even though each day flys by like speedy gonzalez, the months seem to be dragging! Not in a bad way tho, i dont want summer to come and then go like it usually does!

Last weekend we launched our new mag, it went really well. We didnt manage to get everything we’d of liked done but the sheer fact we ran out of energy, time and man power meant we didnt reach our goal.

This was our trade stand on the 2nd day, the first dayt it was smaller and we were having trouble getting people to us. The second day we changed the layout and using a few cleverly placed cars we managed to make a person trap and it worked very well.

Gemma also found a new use for toms shiney wheels. Well, we were camping, and what do you forget when you go camping? A MIRROR!

I have also been shouted at by my mother in law, for leaving a certain someone out of my blog. So here she is, its ruby!

As me and dave were working all weekend and on bank holiday monday, I decided to have most of tuesday off. And whilst me and gem were in town we picked up a new addition to our family.

Meet trevor, margaret and reggie! They are our pet Black Moor Goldfishes and they are the bomb. We have had trev for ages, then we got margaret and then on tuesday we got reggie, but we also got them a new bowl and some new stones for the bottom. The stones are actually bits of glass, but they dont cut you! And the bowl is a big round traditional fish bowl! Its ace!

I think fish are as far as im prepared to go with pets at the moment. Id love a dog of my own, but i need to not be working as much as i do first.

Anyway, back to work..

Until next time..

Today is the day we get our new modified car magazine delivered. Maxxd.info is the New Modified Car Enthusiast Magazine from us guys at Maxxd.

This weekend is gonna be the biggest weekend in the life of MMS.

If this weekend goes right, then the rest of the life of the mag and probably MMS is secured. Yes, it is that important!

We have to pick up a van later, and the mags and marquees and all sorts. Hopefully we wont forget anything!

Wish us luck!

P.s spok, your sister has joined maxxd.com! Haha! Small world!

I possibly have the worst memory ever. I forget to call in at my dads on the way home from work. I forget what i want as soon as i reach the top of my stairs - and i ALWAYS forget about April Fools Day.

Not this year!!!!

I remembered about it a few weeks ago, and set a shit load of reminders on my phone. First i set a week long reminder that would stay on my screen all week. Then i set an alarm for 7:00am on April Fool Day Morning. The alarm was even set to remind me WHAT to prank people, thats how bad my memory is!

Anyway, the morning came round and i was woken by my phone alarm as planned. I snoozed it and went back to sleep. I then sat up in bed a hour or so later, and started the fun.

First off, i told my Mum she was going to be a grandma - She shit frisbees and was crying on the phone to my aunty etc. My mum knows i dont want kids yet, and having them now would bugger up all my life plans. She then cottened on as it was my other aunites birthday on april fools, and they mentioned that they’d have to inform her - when all of a sudden the penny dropped! I wasnt the most loved of sons that day!!

I told my mate Kiss she was gonna be an aunty!  - She belived me too! Hahaha bless her she knows i want to travel n stuff too, and rang me and kind of said “Congratulations” but SO didnt mean it! Haha..

I told dave i quit, and that i was going back to full time employment - he believed be for about 5 seconds then cottoned on.

I told daz they had legalised weed - he thought i was telling the truth, until he realised what day it was later on in the day.

I told HSB that i had been given loads of MaryJ for free, and he could have a Oz. He belived me too! When he asked about collecting it, i said fetch it next april fools day! He then said he’d figured i was tricking him, and was gonna re-trick me later by saying he’d been in a huge car crah on the way to fetch it - whatever HSB!
I think thats about it to be honest. Deffo a fun day, but i was really gutted that i upset my mum so much. I went round later and said sorry to her face!

If i had decided to have babies, then i think id of told my mum in person, not over a text at 8:30am on a sunday morning!

Went to thoresby market on sunday too, its a ace place - i got a cool grinder and a MINT teeshirt! - I will post pics soon
