  • The Speed Of Time

    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.. 🙂

  • Im shitting myself

    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! 🙂

  • April Fools Day 2007

    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 🙂

  • Week after week, Day after day..

    The same damm things, make my hair turn grey…

    I have just had a phone call, gem hasnt got any cash left till she gets paid on friday, and i havent got enough money to go down and see her. Im gutted.

    This is the first time she’s not been able to get down to my house (or visa versa) since we have started going out with each other – and i dont like it. 🙁
    I guess it gives me some time alone, although when im alone all i do is think about the business and my life. And i just get stressed out.

    I might take my camera phone out with me tongiht, and go for a walk. I live on the edge of mansfield so i dont have to walk far to find some nice scenary.

    i hate writing blog entries when i feel like this, as i bet they all sound so repetative! Sorry!

    Entry over, im out…
