Quick! There's time to be wasted!
I've been working in my new job for three weeks now, and if the Monday-to-Friday, nine-to-five routine has taught me anything, it's to appreciate the weekends. Apologies for the lack of updates, but it's taken a lot for me to adjust to such a (comparatively) heavy work-load, and as much as I would have liked to, posting on here was just too much effort.
▫ The flat is still covered in scaffolding, so even when we have had some sunshine up here in Sheffield (which has not happened often in the last few weeks), it's still pretty dingy inside. The recent cold-snap means that our place probably isn't suitable for anyone who suffers from the fictional "SAD" syndrome. To date, after four weeks of it being erected, the builders have: 1. painted the window frames; 2. er... that's it.
▫ Dartford FC have managed to pull a couple of victories out of the bag since the last update, although our FA Cup run came to a disappointingly-early end last week. We didn't even make it on to Setanta, although congratulations should go to Derren Ibrahim who was awarded Player of the Round for his contribution in our opening game of the campaign. Nevertheless, it's the league that is the most important concern. We're fourteenth going into today's game at Billericay (tenth). Come on you Darts.
▫ Despite being paid on Tuesday, it's had virtually no effect as a combination of a heavy weekend of drinking and socialising last week, bills and council tax to pay... and a moment of weakness in HMV.
