Day Thirteen : Happy Monday's!

Date : Monday 13th January 2014

Time : 19.58

Location : Villa Park, Birmingham

Access : Granted.

As far as Monday's go - today wasn't so bad! 

We seem to spend every waking moment from 5pm on Friday dreading our Monday alarms - Today I needn't have bothered! 

I could have thought of a hole manner of pictures to use today! For example, today, I designed a new lunch-time snack! It's simple and tastes so good! 

Think of it as a savoury swiss roll, made from ham and cream cheese, rather than the traditional spounge and jam. Wow. Just wow. 

Then I FINALLY won a long-winded dispute with PayPal, saving me £48 (which I didn't owe anyway!). So that was good. #winning. 

All this during my work day!! What could go better?

Well, this evening, I went to Villa Park to see Aston Villa v Arsenal. My girlfriend wasn't too interested, but it was great. The atmosphere was superb, and Arsenal dug out and got the 3 points. 

I'd be lying if I didn't say I had a little bet on the game, which turned into a nice £22 winning. This has been a good day! Dare I say it, the best of the year so far!! 

Lesson of the day - Don't waste the whole weekend dreading Monday's ... They're not TOO bad!! 

Note - I'm in to the teens now and still loving blogging! Thank you for all the positive feedback and comments :) 

Day Nine : Look Out! Andy's Coming!!

Date : Thursday 9th January 2014

Time : 13.46

Location : Wyatt International, Birmingham (Work)

Buzzfeed ....

When on my 'lunch break' (there's hardly time for one of those!) I like to wind down for a bit, flick through the Daily Mail like any other normal person - at least, that's what we do in my office! 

In recent times, though, I properly discovered Buzzfeed - I strongly recommend to check it out, there's some really cool / funny stuff on there.

The thing I was looking at today was '33 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Disney Parks' (again - strongly recommend you check it out!). 

Number 17. Toy Story characters used to drop to the ground when guests yelled, "Andy's coming!" but the practice has been discontinued for safety reasons...... 

Apparently, back in the old days (before Andy went to college in TS3 and health & safety wasn't such a concern) if you shouted "Look out - Andy's coming" around the Toy Story characters at Disneyland, they would all drop and 'play dead' like in the film. 

HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE. 

I suppose so many people caught wind of it that they just couldn't keep it up any more, but seriously - so cool. I read that the costumes are too delicate for it to be done any more. 

Immediately after reading this I went straight to YouTube to see if there are any videos .... There aren't :( 

Lesson of the day - Live and enjoy things while you're young (or before all the HR nerds ruin everyone's fun!)
