Last week

Seeing as I've started this blog a week after the bet started i should update my last week.

Last week was a tough one. It started well with the bet being made on Monday morning. Luckily for me there weren't friends around to drink with so I made my way home and instead I relaxed at home.

Tuesday I'd made plans to watch the football in the pub with one of my friends, as Villa weren't playing it was fairly easy to just sit back, relax and watch a scrappy Liverpool win with a couple of pints of coke. Although the bar staff were a little wary for some reason when i asked for no ice.

However, at 9.30 the evening changed... I received a phone call saying that my house had been broken into. I rushed home from the pub to find that basically my bedroom was torn apart and my TV, Wii, laptop and other goodies had been taken. This was not the best way to start the week. I was very very angry about this, and this affected my whole week as we now had a lovely hole in the door and some things of a sentimental value had been broken. The police turned up at 11.30pm and stayed for an hour taking statements and logging what had gone.

The rest of the week I took mostly off work to sort out the door, insurance claim and to tidy up after the forensics guy had turned up. The forensics guy was not like on CSI... he was this old fat guy who complained about how I hadn't dusted the cabinet my TV sits on. However he did take some fingerprints so here's hoping.

I was off work on Friday but stayed in town most of the day after talking to the door people, who it will take 2 weeks to get a new front door from, looking for prices, values and details for the insurance claim. I had arranged to meet up with a few friends to vent my frustration over the break in. This could have been the bet over and done with, however I managed to just drink coke all evening - although i did instead smoke like a chimney...

On Saturday was the first of the birthday nights out this month, so I was allowed to have two drinks. I only ended up having one beer which although tasted glorious after all the coke i was drinking, it didn't really help with my annoyance over the break-in and I wasn't the best company at all... I ended up leaving around midnight and was rather annoyed at myself about being in a mood.

Sunday I relaxed with family, my sister was around so we had a good family meal and then I was back into town to find more details for the insurance claim.

This was not a bad week for the bet, however not a good week for everything else...
