Guess who is back???

Alright Treacles!!

It is I the Jolly Green Giant back to speak to you all from my blog, yes it has been a while since i last posted, but i assure all my fans and readers that I wont be that long again, it was just my computer was a bit more porrly then what i first thought so took longer to fix, but I'm back now so wahooooooooo!!!
So I am writing to you after what can only be described as a quick weekend, how they fly and then BANG its Monday morning again and I'm struggling to get out of bed, not because I dont want to, i just know that the nights are drawing in which means the mornings are dark and flippin awful where as in the summer is light and sunny most mornings.
Anyway today was a good day, although work is a little stressful, and there is alot of tension around the office, I know why, and it has nothing to do with me, thankfully!
So the weekend was on the whole a good one, although i got asked to play for the 2nd team on Sat and despite playing OK, and being shattered after, and i mean shattered, my shirt was ringing wet with sweat, mmmmmmm nice, we lost......12v1!! Friday was fab, enjoyed catching up with mates at the curry and sharing that good old joke from Brazil, if you want to know what it is, you'll have to ask me in person, as i will get banned from all blogs otherwise, and to see Heidi and others was good, sitting next to Amy was a laugh and of course Shelagh was hilarious and enjoy spending time with you all!
Love and prayers to you all
Oh and the mighty FOREST are flying!!!

He is risen, Tarquin is alive!!

Hi all

I am writing this as I have to inform people that i wont be blogging for a few days because my computer is going to be cleaned and fixed up so that it isnt as slow as it is at the moment, more slow then tarquin has been over the past two weeks. So here by ends my blogging for the forseable future, prob till the weekend.
On that note i would like to inform people and Gregory in particular that Tarquin will be on the road again tomorrow, at the cost of £110!! Plus more to come as my exhaust needs some attention ASAP!! Glad its pay day next week! So all in all today has been good, work was productive and I am nearing to book my holiday for December with Mr Reeves to go to the sunny cannaries and learn to surf, had a bloke phoning me trying to convince me today to book on a late deal which we may do, just need to see if Chris is OK with the dates, he commented that the ladies are good eye candy, i was like, yeah cus thats what im getting away for...not. But the deal is quite good so will have to wait and see, watch this space.
Today i also took 4 of my group from the Youth Cafe to bowling in Tamworth and am happy to report i won both games with a 122 and a 117 games, which i was quite chuffed at. I am quite tired today though, and have got a cold sore, i know its stress related but there we go, this also being the reason i aint sleeping brill at the moment either.
So as this is my last blog for a few days i thought id be naughty and put on here some pictures from Brazil which i know will provoke some stern looks of the people in them, one of which threatened to kill me on Sunday if i put one picture up, i'll let u guess who it is :)
Finally i got some encouraging words off a good friend last night, i wont name name's but you know who you are, and wanted to say thanks for them, i needed to here what you said in church to me, so thankyou!!

Your all stars, and i will see most of you on Fri night for the curry!

God bless, love and prayers

It's Sat and you know what that means.....!

Good evening all!

Well today as you are all aware is Sat and I for one love this day, and look forward to it all week cause it means it's football day!
Let me tell you how a Saturday usually goes. I get up around 10-1030 as its the weekend i like to lie in on one of the days, and as i do a group on a Sunday morning, i dont get the chance in the morning like id like to, yeah i know i'm lazy but i dont care. Anyway i usually wonder downstairs and sort all my footie gear, which today included putting my new boots in, they are the comfiest boots i have ever owned, if only they were black and not white!! Anyway i usually watch cookery programs, catch up on the local news by reading the Observer or Sutton News and then cook and eat with some OJ, two poached eggs on toast which is around 1130, this is because i get stitch really easilly so need to eat way before kick off which is at 230pm. I then proceed to relax and watch a little bit of Footie Focus before leaving home at around 1 to get to the ground before half one, so that i can warm up etc.
So today we played a team from Boldmere and got whooped 5v0!! I did start but as a centre half, which i didnt too bad at, it was just they were much better then us, they have lost one game since the start of last season. We were 2 down at half time and so the manager wasnt happy, some words were said and it ended with one of our players almost having a fight with our manager, as i watched i thought that life is too short for this, i love football and want to have a game every week, even if we get beat heavilly, i just wanna play and not get involved. Anyway we went 4 down before the boss took someone off and put me up front, something i had been itching to do as no one was holding the ball up, the two guys up there were the same height as Jez and so didnt win much!!
We ended up loosing 5v0 and the changing room was very somber after with the manager saying he may resign, something which i dont feel is nessersary, but we shall see.
Tonight i am staying in as no one has said otherwise do i presume people are all in, although i doubt it. So beer, champ manager and planning for tomorrow are all on the cards.
I would just like to put that this week has been one of stress and have bundled my way through and so if anyone is reading this, i am sorry if i havent been myself, work is tough and I'm struggling to keep my head above the water, but with prayer and faith I can get through this. I just wanted to say i care and love you all to bits, and i love hearing off you!

Love and Prayers to you all

Morning all

Hiya all!!

I hope i find each of you well and none of you are still suffering from the flu like virus which apparantly i am to blame for, it's spread far and wide so it was a bad'un!
I must apologise to Cath for that picture in my last entry of my blog...so sorry!! I am still struggling without my loyal friend Tarquin being with me in travel at the moment, he is still sitting on the drive and unloved and slightly lonely....i think he misses Gregory (Al's car) as they havent seen him in a while.
So yesterday i went to work and it was OK, wasn't stressful compared to Wednesday so we can but hope today is the same, although I have got Youth Cafe and also Detached tonight, but to be fair i love doing face to face youth work so its all good. I know that in previous blogs i have doubted my gifts in this area and my friend Heidi will no doubt agree when i say that i focus to much on the negative things rather then the positive ones in my youth work. While on placement with Heidi at the Green Door (Shakin Stevens song about this place rocks!!) really opened my eyes that i do need to look at the positive aspects of my youth work and not the negative ones, so thank you Heidi, your a star!!
So this weekend I am back playing football, my ban is looming large but somehow i still manage to keep my place in the first team, although i do feel i may be warming the bench again tomorrow, but we shall see. I brought two pairs of boots on Tuesday when i went shopping with the Elfred. Unfortunatly the one pair i brought were white and so i know that i will get kicked harder, it's a rule in football that the more poserish the boots the harder you kick them.....hmmmmm oh well, the others were black, I only got them cause they were cheap and also Elfie looked bored stiff!!
Anyway so that is Sat sorted and Sunday well i think that I will end up being lazy and chilling at home, doing those annoying jobs that take forever to do like cleaning my room.
Sunday no doubt i will end up in the Bishop Vesey playing cards or chatting with the SCBC Crew!

Just wanted to say i enjoy the comments and i will try to leave comments on your pages too. Please note that i am here for all you guys if you fancy a coffee or chat or pray, you know where to find me!

God Bless to you all

Youth Work is one busy sector....IT IS!!

Hiya!

I realise i havent posted for a while and although i told Dave B i would on Tuesday night after i got home from the Charlie Hall pub i got home and unfortunatly didnt, felt a bit sick so went to bed, was probably the day i had, as i had been in town for some of the day with my mate the Elf or as some know her, Dobbie the hosue Elf :)

Anyway so what else have i been up to? Well as my good mate Heidi will no doubt back me up in the week before any school holiday is always manic, trying to get consent forms in, trying to book things and all the final details. I have booked two trips for the Young people at McDonalds, one to Tamworth for Bowling and one to Ice Skating at Solihull, hopefully they will behave as this will be the first trip i have taken some of them on.

Yesterday was probably the most hectic day i have had since i started this new job, i worked a 12 hour day which was tough, as I hope Heidi will support me, youth work isnt just pool and table tennis!!

Today im not in till 12 and finish at 7 so not too bad, looking forward to the weekend and what that will bring, back to the playing football and who knows i might see red again!!!

I will leave you with some more pictures of Brazil, I'm sure there will be more in time but for now i might leave it at these because people will start to beat me up if i put any more on i think!!!
Love and Prayers to you all

Are you a Spurs fan?

Well what a weekend so far?!

Friday night after work i went to the Parkhouse and saw some mates, and caught up with them, one of them Heidi, decided to ask me if I'd been doing my sex work on the streets as i was about to order my pint of Strongbow, i think i must have gone red cause the barman asked if i was ok, lol!!
Then after that i got my first ride in 'Gregory Julian Sellers', Al's new beast, and we have decided to start a new group for men who own slightly camp looking cars, like Tarquin and Gregory or 'Jules' as some have named him.
Sat came and it was time for the big game, Villa vs Spurs!! There were quite a few of us going, and we were all dotted around the ground. Once we had got the train and met everyone at the station at Aston we all proceeded to our areas of the ground making sure we didnt loose either Jez or Julia, being small they needed to be seen at all times!! We sat at our seats and proceeded to watch the game, I was sitting with Al who is a villa fan, Julia who is a spurs fan and me who was a neutral, too busy thinking about how the mighty reds were going at Gillingham (by the way we won 1v0 and are still top!!). There was also Cath and Jez on the oppisate side of the ground (both spurs fans) with Jez in his Hull City beanie hat, they were sitting with Al's mum and dad.
After watching what can only be described as a game with everything, 2 goals, one of which was a hilarious own goal (good finish though), a penelty miss and a sending off, which cath and jez didnt know until near the end of the game, dont ask!!!
On the way out of the ground Al, me and Ju decided to buy some doughnuts, mmmmm they were good, little did i realise as a saw a Audi A6 pulling away with the guy dropping litter out the car, that Al had thrown the empty bag into the car through the window, i was like wow!! Impressive shot, he deserved it anyway....well thats what me and Al thought!!

So yesterday was a top day, and i really enjoyed being with me mates, and watching a forward in dreadfull form as well as making an ass out of himself and not actually not being that forward!! Two weeks until my ban by the way.
Tomorrow will bring more additions to the collection of photo's from Brazil of all the team!! Yes including you Aimee!!

Hope your all well
Oh a quick note to the Reindeers, BRING IT ON, see you in court :)

Hugs and Prayers

Tarquin is struggling...... :o(

Morning all!!

I am writing this thinking what time the 905 runs from the bottom of the road and actually how much is a bus ride these days??
You may know or guessed that Tarquin, my faithful gay coloured car is on my drive, i'm not sure whats wrong with it at the moment, so for me it's the bus!!
On another note, i thought I would add some more pictures of Brazil, taking insperation from Dave although mine arent as good as his, but funny all the same, please dont hurt me if your in them!!
Hope your ok all
Love and Prayers

Storming Morning!

Morning all.
So this morning is my morning off this week as I'm not into work till 2pm as i am working till 10pm tonight. I do look forward to my week lie in as I like to catch up on my sleep. Unfortunatly i didnt get the lie in, due to many factors, one being the storm that was over Sutton, it even cut the power to the house, which i could deal with, but then my neighbours hosue alarm went off and so woke me up and with them being at work is still going off right now......Joy!
Hope that your all ok people! I hope that you don't think that i am a moaner, I'm not, thank goodness that im working late tommorrow and that i have a lie in then as well!

Hope your well

Aaron xx

Alright Treacle's!

How Do!!
So i haven't posted for a while so thought i'd add something today and let you know what i have been up to.
Alot of people have been asking me about the blog and asking to put some stuff up, and others have asked not to put some pictures up, you know who you are so i wont embaress you.
Had an OK weekend, and i also went from zero to hero after i scored the winning goal on Sat for my club with 3 minutes to go to win the game, quite good even though i'd been dropped to the bench for my in disciplin the week before, and also paid my fine off. On Sat night had Wellzie baby and my brother from another mother, Alan for sweet and sour chicken, was good if i say so myself!
Sunday i went to church in the morning and then went to lunch with my ladies!! Then went to church in the evening and then came home to clean the house before the Olds came home from their holiday.
So today (Tuesday) I went to work and then realised i had training this afternoon to be able to distribute condoms to young people, and i am happy to say that i am now qualified, what a life i lead eh!!
I am also being blamed for the flu which is affecting women, men and reindeer alike. I would like to state that i caught it off my mate Woody from Liverpool, i hope this clears it up, not a pun!!

Not sure what i will do tonight, think i will just relax and have a beer or three.

Hope you all are good

Love and Prayers

Thought id share a couple of pics of Brazil......ENJOY, i know i did!!

Crawling towards the weekend!

Well today has been one of those days that kinda floats past you, and not really noticing whats going on.
This morning i went into Birmingham to do some shopping for a project I am leading at work which is a youth cafe, upstairs in McDonalds, it runs three afternoons a week between 3-6pm. I brought some games and a CD/Radio player amongst other stuff, but me being me, didnt like to splash out too much. I returned from Birmingham, and plonked all the stuff in the office ready to use next week and I sat down and started to wonder whether this was God's calling upon my life to be a youth worker, I'm the kinda person as some may know that struggles with accepting gifts and recognising I have them, suppose it's due to the past few days, I have been struggling mentally with everything thats going on at work, home and in my own life as a whole. I know this sounds silly.
Anyway after getting back into the masses of work I have to do, i came home looking forward to dinner, which was a microwave dinner for one, the first since the parents left on Sat, have eaten fresh all the other days!! I cooked it to what it said on the packet sat down with a beer and my lasagne, only to find it tasted foul and was still semi frozen in the middle....mmmmmm!!!

So thought forget it, cant be bothered to cook anything else (feel lazy today) so had some fruit only to discover the pear i bit into was so under ripe i nearly broke my teeth!!

Tomorrow is going to be a long day, am on a split shift, so am in 10-12 then 2-9ish, plus i had to ban 3 guys on Wens from the youth cafe so may have some trouble tomorrow, so if anyone sees a riot van outside McDonalds in Sutton tomorrow, you know why :)

Anyway, am beggining to love this blog thing and finding it a good way to keep in touch somehow with people!!

Love and Prayers to you all!!

Those mid week blues again!

Good Evening my Friends!!

This week has been draining, work is sooooooo busy, just not as many hours in the day as i need to work in, go loads on and the boss is away with man flu now so have to pick his load up as well.

I love my job but am finding it hard going at the moment, not sure why but I will carry on, also my parents have been away so have been cleaning, cooking, ironing and genrally looking after the house, even shopping, so am getting well domesticated!! Get me!!

I hope that all of you are doing well, I am thinking of you all, and I am praying for you as well.

I will post again tomorrow, and I will try and add something worthwile, i have had my report for the sending off, and i only have a fine of £23 so bonus!!!!
