Monday - 1st July 2002

David and me went to Halfords for him to get a new bike. He ended up getting a very nice bike made by Carrera, I had never heard of them until he told me about them. The main reason he got a new bike was because I like cycling, and it will give us something else to do together.

David: Yes nearly £400 to make him happy!

Because David wanted to get the bike today, we had to make it up ourselves. It was good fun, we had never done it before. Doing most of it was easy, the hard thing was getting the front disc brake right, but we got there in the end.

After all the fun of making it, we put it in Davids car and took it to my place. Then we went for a 7 mile cycle. It was good fun, I just felt sorry for David as he has not done, any cycling for about 3 years.

Then after all that we went to Revolution. We were both looking forward to it, but in the end we did not really enjoy it at all as they played Hard House for 2 hours. We can't stand the stuff.

Today I ordered more stuff from Inmac. I ordered Netgear 10/100 PCI NIC, to put in my Dell computer, so that all the computers in the house can access the LAN at 100Mbps, and also another network cable to go from my room to the Dell computer down stairs, this house is going to start to look like a network soon.

I also a cycle to Willford and back, it works out as about 6.7 miles going by the computer thingly on my bike and I did it in about 30 minutes, with an average speed of 13.3. Not bad at all, it's above my average speed, that I normally do on that cycle.

Friday - 5th July 2002

At long last I work out why with website and all my other don't look right in Netscape 6 and above. And it was all because of <P> in the HTML code that should not be there. So I ended up spending a hour of hours going though has any of my website's as I could fixing the code. Has you maybe can tell I am a Netscape person.

I also fixed the guestbook, after get finding out that it was not working, got knows how long its not been working for. At least it's all working now that's the main thing.

Saturday - 6th July 2002
I went a cycling into Nottingham city centre. It's the first time that I have done that cycle since moving to Nottingham. It was a nice cycle nice to do a different one for a change. To get there and back toke me 40 minutes, not bad for a 8 mile cycle.
Tuesday - 9th July 2002

I ordered more memory for my desktop computer from Crucial Technology, as it has started to go a bit to slow since I put a second NIC in it. It only has 128 MB, so I ordered another 256 MB. If that does not speed it up then nothing will do.

I was hoping to get out on my bike today, but going by the weather it's not going to happen.

Wednesday - 17th July 2002
David and me went to the Showcase Cinemas in Nottingham to see Minority Report. It was a great film, if you have not seen it a would recommend that you go and see it.
Thursday - 18th July 2002

David and me went to Hucknall to get our hair cut. I got my hair cut a lot shorter then normal, because it was starting to look a right mass. That's what I get for not getting it cut since just before David and me went to Scotland, back in May.

Later in the afternoon we went to Special Reserve to get a DVD to watch. David ended up buying my birthday present, which of course I am not aloud to get till my birthday, in September. What a great boyfriend he is. I will need to start saving up so that I can get his birthday present, lucky I have a while it's not till December.

In the evening I helped David give his room, a tidy up. In the end we never did get around to watching that DVD, he got.

Friday - 26th July 2002

That's David and me now been going out for half an year. God it does not feel that long at all, time has just been flying by. This is my longest relationship ever. I can see it working for one hell of a long time.

We went out to Frankie and Bennys to celebrate, the food was great as always.

Saturday - 27th July 2002

David and me have now been going out for 26 weeks. You must all be getting fed up of me telling you all the time. I just can't help it as it makes me feel so happy.

Darren, David and me had BBQ, we had it early as David starts work 1:45pm, till 9:45pm. Darren did all the cooking as he in enjoys it.

Other then that I did not do a lot as it was too hot to do a lot, other then play around on the net as normal. Then at 9:00pm I cycled to David's work to met him, then we give me a lift back home. Then we got really to go NG1, where we met up with Darren and some of his friends. It was a good night, it was just way to hot in NG1 for David and myself.

Sunday - 4th August 2002

I can't believe it's August already, this summer has been flying by. I just wish that the weather had been a bit better, oh well you can't have everything.

David and me went into Nottingham, as it was a nice day to get some more photos taken for our Nottingham Gay Scene website, that has gone on-line at last. So why not go and have a look at it? Just beware it's still not fully finished. The URL is www.nottinghamgayscene.co.uk.

Today I helped David clean his car inside and out. It had not had a clean clean since we went up to Glasgow, back in March. It now looks like a new car because it's so clean.

Then in the afternoon, once David and me had cooked lunch. We went into Nottingham to get yet more photos for our Nottingham Gay Scene website, which will be going on the virtual postcards section of the site.

In the evening David, his mum and me went to Asda. So his Mum could do her weekly shopping.

Then we watched a DVD, then it was off to bed. Oh what a busy day we had.

Friday - 9th August 2002

I have mainly been doing lots of stuff on my computer today. I installed Windows 2000 Pro service pack 3, Internet Explorer 6, and I also download Winamp 3, it's so cool, and far better than the old version.

Then I sorted out the photos that David and me toke in Nottingham the other day, so that they could be used as virtual postcards on the Nottingham Gay Scene website.

Today I have been helping David move the rest of his things to Liverpool. His Mum and Dad hired a Ford Transit van. At first we were going to take two cars but we did not think that we could get all of his things in just two cars.

So it’s been a bit of a long day. Well at least it’s all done now. I am going to very miss David. This will be the first time in about 4 months that I have not seen him every day of the week.

Well at least it’s not long till I see him again as I am going to Liverpool this coming Thursday because it’s my birthday on the 29th September. (Just to remind you all. LOL).

Oh and happy birthday Dad and Douglas.

Saturday - 21st September 2002

Today I went to B&Q with Darren, to get help him get things for his house. Then I helped him put a loud of stuff into the loft. Then I did some work on my Paul Nicholls website that has not had anything done to it for a long time, mainly just updated the links page and make it start to work with Netscape 6 and above.

Then after that I went though banning people from my David Beckham and Michael Owen Yahoo! Groups, have have been posted message, that they should not be.

Then I spoke to David who I am missing like mad already, and it's only been just one day since I last seen him. Then it was off to bed.

Oh and that's David and me been going out for 34 weeks. God soon we will be counting it in years. Now that will be great.

Sunday - 22rd September 2002
Not really not much at all today, other then sort out lots of things on my computers, and delete lots of stuff that I no longer need, then backup all on my website's etc onto Zip discs. Watched some TV, replied to lots of emails that I have been meaning to for a long time, and that's been about it today.
Wednesday - 25th September 2002

Today I did a bit of work to the Nottingham Gay Scene website. Changed the sidebar on this website. Washing the dashes, looked for a job, the normal boring stuff. And packed for going to Liverpool tomorrow for just over a week, for my 23rd birthday and to help David get some more things sorted out.

Oh and used the rowing machine about 3 times, for 2 minutes each time. God it is hard work.

I can't believe it, I am now 23, god I am getting to get very old. Well I feel like 23 is old. I had both a good and bad birthday. It was good because I got to spend it with my boyfriend David. It was bad because it was the time that in my life that I have not spent it with my parents.

David more then made up of it. He got of a very nice birthday cake, and also a very cool DVD player. Oh what I great BF he is.
