I know he had a lot planned for today and I have to admit, I was no different. Today I had decided to spend some time at home with the ‘Fam’ and to generally get some important stuff done.
First thing I did was to settle some bills for my house in West Drayton. With that sorted quickly on the automated ‘phone service, I spent the day keeping Mum company whilst she ironed an entire wardrobe of clean clothes, keeping Adam company whilst he chugged away diligently at some PowerPoint slides for his Psychology revision, and keeping Dad well equipped with mugs of coffee whilst he fixed the kitchen patio-door and worked on the computer! Adam actually taught me some very interesting things relating to both Crime and Education as he did his preparatory work for his A2 year. I learnt all about the “Skinner Box”, operant conditioning and positive and negative reinforcements! Marvel at my new informed self! :op
The Psychology stuff Adam has been doing with me has really sparked my interest in the subject; considering in sixth form I didn’t want to touch its course content with a barge pole (symbolic or otherwise). I’m thinking seriously about doing some research into the subject myself. Though it’ll have to wait ‘til after this year; the strict regime I plan to set myself this year will not be easy to stick to! With all the reading and note-taking I have to do at the start of this term, I shall barely have time to eat and sleep, let alone get into researching my dissertation (which I should be doing if I want to pass), or getting a part-time job (which I NEED to do if I plan to buy anything or go out at all this year!).
Anyways, after this eventful day keeping my family occupied (and myself by proxy), it was time for Mike’s party! The last, unfortunately, to be held at no. 52 Onley Street as he and Lei are moving out on Wednesday. T’will be a sad day for much fun was to be had in that house.
Though I wasn’t drinking all evening, we all had a great time and hopefully gave the old man a great night to remember :o)
Huggles and Birthday wishes to you Mike!
Here are some of the pics I stole from Facebook:

THE DRINK....(I wouldn't want to even hazard a guess at the muck that was poured into this...)
