Well so far today I negotiated a much favourable rate of interest for my current overdraft, got new mobile insurance which is free from Barclays, paid off Mother and Brother some cash, cancelled my Barclay Card and paid off the parking ticket I thought I already paid off.
Even though I’ve paid out all this cash and stuff I feel so much better though I still have two cards that I need to pay off though I’m hoping to get rid on one this month, fingers crossed.
January was a really hard month but showed me how tight things can be and still survive. It’s a lesson I needed after being on party mode for the last few months I’ve been living in Brighton. I need to focus on being as tight as I can. What this really means is budget and distributes money and stick to it the best I can.
In closing; It hurts the pocket but frees the mind.

A quick surf around and I’ve bumped in to iSubwayMaps.com. It’s just a simple way of syncing your iPod with a map of the underground. In this case, the London Underground map for the iPod would be most useful. Haven’t tried it yet but will let you know if I do.

So got super silly on the Friday night which ended up being too friendly with friends (boys you know who you are). That is the end of that. Stupidty! Went to the Pressure Point and hooked up with some friends, Preston & Jaz, Mark, Kat, Ro and maybe some others but I can’t be sure.
Saturday was recovering time which ended up watching football and waiting for the lovely Emma. A Chinese meal and some beers and we were both out for the count.
Sunday we spent tidying up and than back to Hastings to have roast dinner with Sally. All in all a good weekend. This weekend is gonna be a little crazy me thinks but a bit more control will be in order.
Until then here are some quick links to photos I took of Jaz, Kat and Google over the weekend.

Well there I am ill as ever at work thanks to poor old Coats and his cold when Leon Baker sends though this:
Have you seen Addam Hassan, who lives on Drury Lane?
It’s rumoured he’s a muffin man, with blueberries for a brain
And a heart of lemon curd, or bran. But we owe it to explain
That he’s no relation to Saddam, being marginally Hussein.

Like I have said many a time not everything gets put up on this here blog. Some things are meant not to be published and shared. And if shared they are only for the people I have shared with that moment. Anyway I digress but that is my disclaimer, so if your reading my blog and you think I have forgotten to blog something then please take it as a compliment than an attack on my memory banks or how I rate such an occasion. O.k onwards and backwards…
So Christmas eve morning and I have yet to make my way to Hastings. It’s a first and to be truthful a little scary but at the same time not that scary as I was with friends that I have somewhat of a weird relationship. I don’t see them that much when I do I just can’t get enough of them. They are almost like a drug. Anyhow I sorted my stuff out and collected my things ready to leave home also known as Hove (actually) nowadays!
This Christmas was the weirdest one of all. Something wasn’t right. Something suggested to me that all is not well in the Hassan camp. The family was not acting right, or if they were I wasn’t. To be fair it all really stressed me out and I don’t know why. In any case this stress that had entered my life started to control it with headaches and tired moods that I simply cannot describe. I wasn’t depressed but I knew I was unhappy about something. People who were supporting me in this time know I’m not normally like this and to be fair since moving and working in Brighton I have been able to be myself again. Brighter, funnier some even say more sexy hahahaha. Only joking, but I am growing as a person which really excites me and the more experience I gain from doing new things and seeing friends etc the better I feel about myself.
God where was I going with this? Ah yes Christmas. Anyway the Christmas thing was good apart from the health thing. A few days there and I was back in Sunny Hove where the grass is greener but with no family. I say that – I rely on a few people who remain nameless that I rely on to talk to, chat, even hug. Though my family is the rock that will never break…ever!
Right so in summary the Christmas holidays were good in terms of presents and spending time with the people I love. Though I did miss Brighton. It’s not so much the city I love but the people that call it home.

The work party was great. It started off with dinner at a local restaurant where some delicious food was served with a live band playing in the background. The drinks that were served before dinner were cocktails aptly named Google, MSN and Yahoo. I didn’t realise until it was too late that we were only allowed one apparently so apologies to anyone who missed out.
After dinner were the awards followed by what was a sad moment of the official farewell to Claire. I’m going to miss Claire at work but hopefully when she gets back from her travels I can actually see her outside of work.
Anyhow after the awards and a few words summarising how much the company would miss Claire we all wondered off to a club opposite to enjoy the rest of the night.
One of the ‘things’ that I have noticed since moving to Brighton, well actually working in Brighton, is the number of people that are actually home DJ’s. This is a great thing for me as I don’t have any friends who DJ or at least like to DJ. Anyhow the point being with having so many DJ’s in the office we were able to get a line up. My personal performance was poor though I did have one good mix which I was happy with. On the night however I would have to say iLL wILL ws top dog. It had nothing to do with his mixing but everything to do with his choice of tunes. They were great!
After a few cocktails and beers etc. the after party was at Jon and Dan’s. Now I have to say I did instigate this little party BUT only with the permission with Jon. So I would like to take this moment and say thanks to Jonno and Dan for letting the little event happen. It was quite funny to see some faces at the flat. Any more detail would just be to incriminating other than I remember thanking my lucky stars at about one in the following afternoon making my way back home that I booked the day off.
All in all it was a great night and to summarise how messy it was I’ll leave you with a few keywords that will personally describe the night for me… Hispanic Community and Champ.

While working I get a lovely pop talking about Coatsy’s mum…
