Best Week of 2014 ?

This week has been amazing both at home and away either side of an exciting Easter weekend
which saw the trend of completed goals continue.

Tuesday began with the delivery of my ticket/travel for the trip up to Leeds in early May with an emotional viewing of the 25th Hillsborough Memorial service in the afternoon as Liverpool came together to remember the 96 in a truly fitting service. The evening saw new DLC on Plants v Zombies so I had a session which saw two unlocks and watched the new episode of The Call Centre while planning my Super League preview.


Wednesday started with more planning while watching the first part of the Royle Family boxset with the early afternoon seeing me begin my weekly Super League preview which was put on hold as I had two people from the research project I was part of come up from London to film an interview with me which was interesting and inspiring as it gave me an outer look on what my life is like now and as planned I received £80 for my participation meaning from two projects I have earned £170 but am unable to name the company on here due to confidentiality agreements.

The evening saw the resuming and completion of my Super League preview and delightfully I was published on a popular website called Cherry and White which saw me gain a lot of traffic during the week and allowed me to add another name to my list of successes.

Thursday began with a short session across a few Windows 8 game before bed and the morning saw blogging and a sporting double split the evening with the Hull derby on Sky Sports and Liverpool Ladies v Man City Women on BT Sport. An exciting end to the day saw Liverpool Ladies win 1-0 with Natasha Dowie scoring and in tweeting about it, she favourited me which made a good day even better.

Friday began with an early wake up for the trip to Wigan before going to St Helens for the Good Friday derby which was my first away from Wigan and what a brilliant afternoon it was with a superb 33-14 win enjoyed with Gary, Gail and Charlotte whom I have met up with a few times this season and hope to do so again.

A glorious sunny afternoon continued with the trip home and a walk around Wigan before catching the bus and doing the write up of the game while watching Warrington v Widnes and followed by the usual Friday night TV - Corrie/Gogglebox and Da Vinci's Demons.

Saturday saw the writing of the SL round nine write-up while watching Soccer AM and then Soccer Saturday across the afternoon while following Skem away to Ashton via text and sadly a 4-1 loss all but ends hopes of a play-off place while in the Premier League, Chelsea's loss against Sunderland was a massive favour to the title hopes of Liverpool -'MAKE US DREAM' with the evening ending with the preparation for the SL round ten preview.

Sunday began with the completion of a goal as Saints Row IV became my 30th completion after finally purchasing and playing the Christmas DLC  with the writing of the aforementioned preview and a session of job searching online followed by the early kick-off for Liverpool away to Norwich. Despite a narrow 3-2 win it meant Liverpool were five points clear at the top with three games to go. The afternoon saw me take in the other two TV games of Hull v Arsenal and Everton v Man United with the evening spent catching up on Xbox blogging and magnets.


Monday saw another job search in different places than the previous day and then at 1.20, I set off for Wigan however the bus failed to arrive and with only an hour till kick-off I had to go by taxi which came to £8.80 (bus would have been £2.50) and made it to the stadium in time to make my notes and do my usual filming of the pitch entertainment.

A massive 84-6 win replicating Easter Monday of 2013 saw a record 12 different scorers for Wigan against a poor Bradford side. A bus journey home after getting some tea at my usual takeaway - Sicily Pizza saw me find out that Skem had lost 5-0 at home to Flyde, the first home game I had missed since November with Wigan taking priority due to my season ticket.

After returning home, I watched the Catalan v Hull KR game which ended my hopes of correctly predicting all seven games having got all six of the 3pm games correct with the evening watching the Corrie double and some of Man City v West Brom.

As Monday was spent out and about, the weekly blog update extended to Tuesday which began with writing up the LFC and Wigan reports and the SL round ten review with the conclusion of the Royle Family boxset and the start of the Mr Bean one, best to get all my boxsets done first in the pursuit of my yearly goal.

The evening saw a session on Hexic via Windows 8 with the night concluding with my decision to end my 'stay' on a number of online dating sites after being consistently ignored after expressing interest via messages and being bombarded by fake profiles. So if anything relationship-wise was ever to happen to me in the future it would come in the 'real world' though I doubt it ever will.

The next week is a quieter one with the only stand out events being Wigan v Hunslet on Sunday afternoon which annoyingly clashes with Liverpool v Chelsea so multitasking will be needed in that instance and the search for a new job continues with the lack of success so far really frustrating.
