Ok, so this is actually the first time this has happened in my entire life! I was in tesco the other day, buying beer and cobs for a “bbq” at my friends house. I walked to the self service till as i did not want to queue up and wait for ten years as i only had two items, and immediately upon scanning the beer it said “Assistance required” as obviously they need to check to make sure your 18 before they can let you walk off with it.

She came over, and normally they take one look at me and scan it and carry on with their jobs. She came over leant to swipe her card to authorise, then stopped looked at me and asked me for id!! I was shocked! I really didnt know what to say! It was a good job gemma was with me, as she had to supply her ID as i have never carried ID on me ever!

I’m sorry, but do i look 17 years old? I have hair on every part of my face, hair sticking out of my clothes, all down my neck, and im 6ft 1.5 and 16/17 stone! I have seen some old looking 17 year olds, but fuck me. The only thing that comes close is teen wolf, and he was older than 17 surely!

Anyway, i hope to never be asked again, and i suppose that woman was only doing her job – but still, open your bloody eys woman!

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! 🙂
