April Nears The End

April is near its end and a mixed month as reported in the previous post but more positives than negatives as the new Nike+ Ice Fuelband is settling in well with the next goal of 1.5M on the horizon.

The painting project is coming along well despite delays in some areas due to longer working periods between free days but today I will begin the final stage of painting with some photographic examples below using One Coat 'Warm Days' and hopefully the painting will be complete by the end of next week. As the room is being painted, I have began a redesign of the main layout which as yet is not finalised.





No goals have been completed so far this month but massive progress has been made on the Xbox360 and the GPS systems - Runkeeper/Nike+ and I am currently only four followers from my first goal of 500 total followers.

Last week saw a few new things in my relationship with Letitia as I took her to her first Rugby League game against Leigh in the Challenge Cup and the poor attendance when compared to a Super League game wasn't the best way to introduce her to the RL atmosphere but she enjoyed it which was the main thing and it convinced her to try out a League game which will be this Friday's at home to Salford.

Saturday saw a day trip to Liverpool during which we did a fair bit of shopping and sightseeing but also enjoyed relaxing on the waterfront in the glorious sunshine and later on went out for a few drinks with her friends, one of which is an ex of mine.

At first sight of my ex, it was a bit awkward as I had not been so close to her since our break up in 2010 and luckily she made the first move to chat and we got on well across the night even more so when I knew that there was no longer the attraction that I once had for her and it was a good night out to end a pretty good day.

Also on Saturday there was more joy as my home-town team Skelmersdale United became champions of the Evo-Stik First Division North, their first title since 1970 and I will be very proud to see them collect the trophy this coming weekend.

Sunday saw a truly memorable game between Liverpool and Chelsea not because of the 2-2 scoreline but because of the bite from Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez who has since been banned for 10 games.

The week itself has been fairly good with Tisha and I getting together again on Wednesday for a takeaway and a few drinks and on other days I continued with my painting.

The weekend just gone saw a perfect treble for my teams with Wigan beating Hull, Skem thrashing Farsley and Liverpool making everyone think 'Suarez who?' with a 6-0 demolition of Newcastle.

So painting and relaxing today to before bringing down the curtain on April and beginning the magic month of May.

A Busy April With A Fresh Coat Of Paint

No goals have been completed so far this month but massive progress has been made on the Xbox360 with fifty achievements unlocked and far more play than in March.

The delivery of a new Nike+ Ice Fuelband on the 5th saw me return to my Nike+ goals which have seen me get so close to 1.3m fuel earned. The bigges progress is relationship wise as Letitita and I are currently in or fourth month together and going very strong. We continued our tradition of having a special meal at the Raj Gate to celebrate another amazing month together and also had a nice carvery at the Vale Royal on Tuesday of this week.

This weekend will see a number of new things for us as later today I will take her to her first rugby match, we are spending the day in Liverpool on Saturday and she is staying over at mine for the first time that night so a good weekend is on the horizon.

My Blogger profile has gained another strand as the StattoSi Entertainment will form a central hub for all other blogs as well as featuring posts of material from my other sources such as Facebook and YouTube and i am just under 6000 page views which is fairly good when I have not posted a lot this month.

One major project is beginning this week and it the re-painting of my bedroom after a good five years since the last one and I have chosen to go with a one white wall which is around the window and the other three facing walls to be the colour 'Warm Days' which is kind of a light Orange.

Hopefully I will have completed the painting project by the time of my next post which maybe sometime next week. Ciao for now.

Three Down Nine To Go


2013 has stuttered this past month after the first two months were an improvement on 2012 but despite the stutter, a main goal has been completed which was reaching an overall total of 5000 page views on my Blogger setup and the new goal is 7500 which will include my new hub blog which I begin later today.

Relationship wise, me and Letitia are still going strong and will have been a couple for three months next week (7th April) but on the Xbox360 front, I had a bad month as I failed to even hit 20 achievements due to the lazy month I have done so a total of 17 achievements, 197 TA and 260G is poor when I have done more than that in a day at times so April needs a real catch-up on the goals.


Due to the problem with my Nike Fuelband at the end of the month the monthly total in terms of fuel is 97,953 a long way off the 135k from February.
Finally on Runkeeper, I walked 64.3mi, burned 7960 calories in 21 hours and 36 minutes.

Hopefully at the end of April I will be writing with some good statistics but we will see.
