Wednesday - 1st January 2003

David and me went to Weatherspoons, for a quick meal we both had Jacket Potato, with cheese. We only had a small meal because later in the afternoon, we both went to my parents for a meal. It was a very nice meal, it's the first that David and me have both been to my parents house for a meal. Lucky it all went very well. We will need to make sure that we do it next time we're both up in Scotland.

When we got back to our hotel room, we just stayed in and watched TV. Their is not much to do with it being New Years day, because everything is closed.

Friday - 3rd January 2003

It's David's and my last day in Glasgow, it was a great holiday. We checked out of the hotel then went a walk down to Buchanan Street bus station to leave our bags so that we did not have to carry them about with us all day.

Then we went to the UGC Cinema to see Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. It was a great film. Can't wait till the next one comes out. It should be great like the two before it.

Then we had another look around the shops. Then my Dad picked us both up and give us a lift to Glasgow airport, to get the plane back down to Nottingham.

The fight back down to the East Midlands, was really great we could see for miles. I am looking forward to the next time that David and me go to Scotland together, we always have a great time. But then we always have a great time, because we love each other so much.

Monday - 6th January 2003

It looks like this year is off to a good start. I got phoned up about a job and was asked if I would like to go to a job interview later this week. Which of couse I said yes too. She said that she would phone me back later today, or tomorrow and tell me more about the job and when the interview will be.

The Willoughby ArmsIn the afternoon I got to train from Nottingham to Stamford, so that I could help Mark out with websites etc. Went I got there was spoke about that he would like me to do, tommorrow, then we went to The Willoughby Arms, the local pub, for some food. I had a 10oz Gammon Steak.

Tuesday - 7th January 2003

I have been, very, very busy sorting out websites for Mark. I first started on the activevents website. I added a mailing list, calendar and fixed more of images that Mark could not get to work.

Then I got to work on the Little Bytham website, I fixed the guestbook, e-cards and also the mailing list. It may not sound like a lot. But it did take a while and Mark was so happy, he been tyed to get half of them working for a long time and I get them all done in one day.

Wednesday - 8th January 2003

God what a busy day it has been. I had my first job interview in over 2 years. Then after that I got sorted out and got the train from Nottingham to Liverpool to see my boyfriend David. I could not wait to tell David about my day.

Well lets start at the beginning. I got up at 8:00am, then Mark give me a lift from Little Bytham to Nottingham, which was really, really nice of him, so that I could get sorted out and already for my interview. I was not looking forward to it at all, but lucky I think that it went not too bad, the job agency said that they will phone me, in the morning, and tell me how I did. If I get the job, I will be over the moon.

Then after that I tyed to setup a on-line account with Standard Life, so that I could check out how much money so far as been paid in to it, but I could not get it to work. So I phoned them, with it not like me at all, because I hate making phone calls. But the very nice Scottish girl, on the other end sorted it out for me.

Then after all that I got the 1:45pm train from Nottingham to Liverpool, to see my David.

So it's been a very good day. I am really hoping that this will be my year. It should be if, it keeps going like this.

Monday - 13th January 2003

The job agency phoned me up, not good news, as I did not get the job, oh well. Better luck next time, at least I have learnt from it. She told me to keep on looking at their website and if I see any jobs that I would like to go for, just to give her a ring.

Then I helped my David do some revision for his exam today, that I got packed for getting the train from Liverpool Lime Street to Stamford.

While I was on the train I updated my Gay Glasgow site and of course updated this website.

When I got to Stamford train station Mark picked me up, then we went to The Willoughby Arms the local pub, for some food. I had a cheese burger.

Thursday - 16th January 2003

I have mainly been working on the Bytham's website, re-cording all the HTML pages and also adding a log so that we can keep a eye on how many people are using the website.

Then I did some work to my Killearn on the Web site. I added lots more photos and fixed some other stuff.

Then Mark gave me a lift to Stamford, so that I could get the 6:08pm train to Nottingham, via Leicester. The train journey was going to plain till I got to Leicester. Then it all starting to go wrong, all the trains to Nottingham were running late. I should have got into Nottingham at about 7:30pm, but I didn't end up getting there till about 8:30pm. When I got there my David was waiting for me, then we both got the bus to his Mum and Dads house.

Saturday - 25th January 2003
It was one year ago today, that David and me first met. And I am still madly in LOVE with him. I don't think that I have loved someone so much in my while life.
Sunday - 26th January 2003

David and me have been now going out for 1 year and what a great year it has been.

We spent a lot of the day working on the Liverpool University Dance website. Which all going to plan will go live later this week.

Then I walked David and Carolyne to their dancing class. When I got back I did a lot more work to the LUDC website.

When David got back we had some Champagne and watched a DVD called "The Ice Age" to celebrate being together for 1 year. God I love him so much, I hope that you we are going out for many years to come.

Monday - 27th Janurary 2003

I got the 1:40pm train from Liverpool Lime Street and for the first time, in god knows how long the train got into Stamford dead on time.

I will be in Little Bytham for the next two days helping Mark out.

Mark made me drive from Stamford to Little Bytham. I don't think that I did 2 badly, because it's the first time in about 1 year, that I have driven a car.

Luckily we made all in one piece, so my driving can't of been that bad.

Then we went to the local pub.

Wednesday - 28th January 2003
Today I helped Mark do some more work to the Little Bytham's website. I also did bit of work to my Killearn on the Web site.
Saturday - 1st February 2003

David and me spent most of the day working on the Liverpool University Dance website. We got the whole website finished and on-line, which is not too bad, since we only started it just over one week ago. If you would like to go and look at it the address is www.ludc.co.uk.

Oh I LOVE YOU DAVID BTW. xoxoxox

Thursday - 13th February 2003

I went to one of David's lectures at Liverpool University. The lecture was alright, but nothing to great. It was a bit boring for me. But it's Davids favourite lecture. At least now when he speaks about it, I will have a better idea what he is going on about.

Then we went into Liverpool City centre, to get each other gifts for Valentine's Day. David got me two DVDs. Then we went to Pizza Hut, for something to eat. The food was great as always.

Then I put my David to bed, as he as not been feeling well.

Saturday - 15th February 2003

I spent most of the day re-installing David's machine after somehow it got a virus on it, even with an up-to-date virus checker running on it. At least it gave me something to do all day while David has been dancing in Sheffield with the Liverpool University Dance Club.

Once I had finished sorting out his machine, I watched TV and for once there were a number of good things to watch. So I did not just watch The Hits and TMF music channels all day long on Freeview, which I do when I can't find anything better on.

I also updated some of my website's that I have not updated for a while.

Friday - 21st February 2003

David and me went into Nottingham City Centre to have a quick look around the shops and also to get some more photos for the Nottingham Gay Scene website.

Then in the evening I stayed in to watch TV, while David went to NG1 with a friend.

Sunday - 23rd February 2003

I got the train from Nottingham to Grantham to meet up with Mark, because I am helped him out for most of the week. When I got the train, for once it was on time, normally when I get the train they are always late.

When Mark and me got to Little Bytham, I could not believe, how much he had done since, I was last there. He had moved most of the office from up stairs, down stairs and done a lot of painting and lots of other things too.

I helped him just put the finishing touches to the place, by helping him, move stuff up and down the starts. Once we had finished doing that we walked Jimmy and Pebbles, then it was off to the local pub to have food.

Wednesday - 26th February 2003

David and me have now been going out for 13 months. God that is a long time. I just wish that I could have been with him today. So tell him and show him, just how much I love him and that I want to spend the rest of my life with him.

I became an electrician for a while today, because I found two places that should have electrical wall sockets, that did not have any sockets on them. It's the first time, in my life that I have put them on so, I don't think that I did too badly of a job. And better still they both worked and I did not kill myself, in the process of putting them on!

I also walked Jimmy and Pebbles, I can't take them to far as Jimmy is starting to get old.

When Mark got back from London, we went to The Willoughby Arms, the local pub for a meal. When we were there, we found out that the landlord is putting the pub up for sale. I just hope that the new owns done as good, as him and his wife. But only time will tell.

Then I was up till about 3:00am fixing a friends laptop, which has Windows XP on it. I can't stand XP. The more I use it the more that I dislike it! Why can't Microsoft leave well alone?

Friday - 28th February 2003

I am just had one of the wront train journey in my life. I should have been getting the 3:55pm train from Peterbough to Liverpool Lime Street. That train get canceled at Cambridge, so everyone was told to get the next train, but I could not get on it, because there was already two many people on it. So I waited for the train after that which was at 4:55pm, again that train was too busy, so that I could not get on it. So I wainted to the 5:30pm train, which got into Peterbough on time, but when the train get to Nottingham eveyone was told to get off the train because there was not driver to take the train any follower. So I had to wait in Nottingham till the next time. Then get that train for Nottingham to Birmingham New Street. That train got to Birmingham, on time. But then the train from Birmingham should have leave at 8:18pm, but did not end up leaving till 8:47pm.

At least when I got on that train I got a nice sit. It's the first time that I have got to use on of the new Virgin trains. It was really great, I like getting to put on laptop in and also use the on-board radio! Just a shaen that the train was late leaving from Birmingham.

Oh and I am so sorry for taking my bad train journey out on you David. You know that I no that I get pissed me a bit easily and i am sorry for taking it out on you. Love Gordon. xoxoxox

Saturday - 1st March 2003

I went to Leeds with David to watch him dance in the Northern Competitions in Leeds.

It was good to see David dance in a Competition at last. It was a long day had to get up at 6:30am and we did not get back till about 2:00am. I very mainly there doing all the filming, which David and me will be sorting out in the near future and putting on the LUDC website.

It was also good to watch because of the guys dancing were cute too. And oh David I still don't see what you like about number 95.

The best thing about the day was that Liverpool University won the off-beat competition. Oh and of choose spending the whole day with my David.

Saturday - 8th March 2003

Go a night it has been. Tonight some one tyred to break into my boyfriends house. Lucky all that they did was to break a window in the front door. It's lucky that I was in or it could have been a lot wrone. I was sreaced to say the least!!!

I was also pissed off about them breaking the window because I was happy watching Celebrity Fame Academy at the time.

At least the police where very good! They got there in about 5 mins and about 6 of them turned up in total.

I was also pissed off about the break in, because David had to came back easily for his night out. Which he had been looking forward to for a long time.

Thursday - 13th March 2003

Have you been watching Celebrity Fame Academy. I think it's great I really want Ruby to win. So please everyone vote for Ruby.

Other then watching Celebrity Fame Academy for most of the day!! I have been in bed, because I have not been feeling to great today! I think that I may be coming down with something. I just hope that I get better soon, because I go to Scotland soon, for a week to look after my Mum and Dads dog.

Friday - 14th March 2003

Before I started doing the gardening!It has been a good day! There has only been one bad thing about it, I will get onto that later!

The day started off with Mark and me putting up a security light, that he has had since 1998! That's a long time to have a light, before doing anything with it! And in the end it about toke about 30 minutes to put up.

In the afternoon, I was out in the back garden for about 3 hours, starting to make it look more like a back garden again. Well it as been a very nice day, so a made the most of it!

After I did the gardening, I hope that you can see the differentIn the evening I watched Comic Relief. I could not believe that Will Mellor won, Celebrity Fame Academy. I really wanted Ruby Wax to win.

The only bad thing about today is that, for some reason I get the idea that my boyfriend David does not want to speak to me anymore and I have to idea why! It's really starting to get me down! I really hope that he start things sorted out, because I really love him, with all my heart.

Tomorrow we will have been going out for 59 weeks. Which is a very long time and I don't want to thou it all away. So David I really LOVE you and we can just get everything sorted out.

Saturday - 15th March 2003

Mark and me spend most of the day out in the back garden. I could not believe just how much, we did in just one day. The garden now looks the best that it has done in a long time! Now we just have the long time for burning all the trees etc that we have cut down.

In the evening I just watching TV and did some more work to some of my websites.

Sunday - 16th March 2003

GNER train going tough Little Bytham on the East Coast mainlineWith the weather being go great I made up my mind, to go out for a walk and take a digital camera with me.

I was so happy with one the photos that I got. I got a photo of a Class 373/2 GNER train, in the GNER livery.

I just washing that I stayed there for just a extra minute or so, because then I would have got a photo of a Class 372/2 GNER train in the Eurostar livery.

To see more of my work go to the Bytham's website.

Then in the evening Mark, Ben and me went to the The Willoughby Arms, the local pub, for some food.

Tuesday - 18th March 2003

I am so happy because I got my first donate to help with the running costs of my Killearn on the Web site. I got £50 which i am going to use to move the website, to a new host. Then at long last I will be aboit to get the website looking move the way I would like it to look.

If you would like to help me with the running costs of any of my website's, please contact me for more information.

Other than that I went out a walk to get more photos for the Bytham's website. With being out so much I am getting to get a sun tan.

Wednesday - 19th March 2003

I spent most of the day uploading the Killearn on the Web site, to it's new host. I moved it from 4dmedia to 34sp.com. It's the first time in my life that I have moved a website to a new host, I just hope that it all goes to plan and that the DNS servers up-date them self's ok. But only time will time and it does take up to 48 hours to work.

It's also means that I have to re-code all the CGI scripts after, but the good thing is that I have used 34sp.com so I will have a idea, what needs to be done.

Thursday - 20th March 2003

I am amazed, the moving of the Killearn website all when to plan, now I just have to up-date the CGI scripts, that I missed first time around. Then up-load The Gay Glasgow site to the same host, because it's been hosted on the Killearn web space, for a while now. One day I will get the money to move it, to it's own host.

Then in the evening I got the 6:00pm Central Train from Grantham to Nottingham and oh my god the train was on time. Then I had to wait for a couple for minuets for David's train to get in from Liverpool. Then his Dad give us a lift from the train station, to his house.

David and me have a lot to get sorted out tonight. I just hope that we do, but if not I at least hope that we can still be friends.

Sunday -23rd March 2003

That's me just had one of the wrone days in my life. That's David and me broke up again. I was starting to think that we may get things sorted out, but I was wrong. I don't really want to say much about it. But then I can't see us getting back together. I wish that we could, but I just don't see it happening.

Just to think that we would have been going out for 14 months this Wednesday coming (26th March). I just how amazing, how one day your life can be going well, then the next things, things are up-side down.

He was the first boyfriend, that had ever met my partners. That I had ever been on holiday with, been up a mountain with, gone cycling with and the list goes on and on. I just hope that we can still be friends.

So today, will be the first day of my new life. I think that there will be lots of things that I am going to change, starting with my hair, that is really starting to do, my head in.

Monday - 24th March 2003

Today is not going to be a easy day. I did not get much sleep at all last night, I have been up since about 5:00am, because I could not get back to sleep. I least I have got one good thing done since, I got out of bed and that's start to sort out my hair!! All that I need to do to it now, is to get it cut!!

In the afternoon David came around he drove all the way from Nottingham to see me. At least we're speaking again, but I now also know that there is no way that we will be getting back together.

So if for the next number of weeks, I don't sound too happy don't worry about it, I am sure that I will get over it!!

Tuesday - 25th March 2003

Today David and me went to his old college, to get some photos, because they are knocking the old one down, to build a new one.

See David and me can still be friends!!! All going to plan he may be coming up to Scotland with me for the weekend.

Thursday - 27th March 2003

David and me had a long chat and have starting going out with each other again. I really hope that we get though with bad bitch, because I really, really love the guy.

I LOVE YOU DAVID and we will get things sorted out. xoxoxox

Friday - 28th March 2003

Today David had a exam at Liverpool University he said that was easy and that he did well in it!

When he got back I asked him, if he wanted to go up to Glasgow with me for the weekend. We both were hoping to go up together, but then had to change our plans because of the rail strike. So I had moved my train ticket to Saturday. So today I phoned up National Rail equatils and asked if they was anyway that I could get the train was Liverpool Lime Street to Glasgow Centre. They said YES!!! So we got the 2:27pm train from Liverpool to Preston, to pick up the West Coast main line.

It's the first time that I have used the West Coast main line, lucky most of the journey went journey well.

When we got to Glasgow my bother Craig picked us both up and toke us to Killearn.

Saturday - 29th March 2003

Today David and me got the bus from Killearn to Glasgow. I had forgotten just now boring a 45 minute bus journey can be. At least my David was there to keep me happy.

The first thing that we did when we got into Glasgow, was had I got my hair cut. I must have been in the hair dresses, for at least 30 minutes. I think that the longest hair cut that I have had in my whole life. I have now got my curtains back. Which David and me both think makes me look a lot cuter again.

Then we went for a long look again the shops in Glasgow. Then we got the underground, down to the West End, to see my wee bother working. He was too busy to see us, but at least I have seen where he works now.

Then when we went a walk to Frankie and Bennys for a meal. I don't think we have been there since we were up in Glasgow last summer. The food was great as always.

Then it was back to Killearn. It's been a long day, but a very good one at that!!

Sunday - 30th March 2003

Today David went back to Liverpool, I did not really want him to go, because it was a great weekend and we got on the best that we have done in a long time.

I am not use to being the one saying good-bye, it's normally me who is getting on the train. At least it's not too long till I see him again. I am going back down to Liverpool on the 8th April and I can't wait to see him again.

When I got back to Killearn I went out a walk to start getting more photos for my Killearn on the Web site.

Monday - 31th March 2003

Killearn hospitalToday I went out a cycle to get more photos, for my Killearn on the Web site. It's the longest cycle that I have done this year it was good fun. I cycled to places that I have not been to in a very long time.

I also went to the old Killearn hospital. Of all the years that I have stayed in Killearn it's the first time that I have really looked around the place.

When I got back I sorted out the photos and made a start on uploading them to the website.
