well thought i would add a little addendum into my blog. Its Saturday and im in nottingham at the moment waiting for another little tripsy out. Tonight we are all off into Nottingham to eat copious amounts of carvery followed by the cinema, going to see the Wicker Man, which should be interesting, I've never actually seen the Wicker Man, even though its one of those 'must see' films, so as a film student I probably should have rented it by now, but anyway. Also today I have had my hair straightened, this time chemically....by my sister...worked pretty well too, ill get some pics soon hopefully!
Im organising a big theatre trip to london for all my friends too, at the moment we are looking at a probably Mary Poppins by the votes I have had so far, if you want to see something else you have to make your voice heard! If your interested go here join the facebook group and email me so i know you wanna come, along with which show in the west end you wanna see.
On the West End front, the show I am off to see at the end of the month, Wicked, has started previewing, it looks amazing and bar a few technical hitches is apparently going on well. YOu can read Martin Ball, a cast members blog here and find out more about the show, or visit its website www.wickedthemusical.co.uk. Before christmas i am now expecting to see 3 london musicals, wicked this month, the group trip next month, and Spamalot, the monty python musical, in November with dad and ella.
Anyway enough ramblings, this was only meant to be a quick post so I will leave you all, next week I goto PLASA in london (A big theatre trade show) on monday, get dvds finished on tuesday and wednesday with a meeting with the bank manager on wednesday also, and then thursday and friday I am in the new studio in training on the lighting rig, so ill speak to you all soon!

The big cull... face fungus and masculinity!
Well another week is coming to a close and I feel its time for me to do a slight update. This week has been taken up preparing our second DVD release, the Squab Pie Charity Dance show, while finishing off and prepping for delivery the first release, the LES november '05 show project. The latter is now complete and just awaiting the wrap around for the cover, but the suppliers we use for the special paper are out of stock so we are awaiting stock on that. Squab Pie is just about ready but after a few quality concerns we are just re-rendering sections of the show to ensure the best quality. On the business development front we are going well, have a meeting with NatWest Bank on wednesday hopefully we will have our bank account shortly after, and we are all registering for tax shortly aswell. I am also registering with the Information Commisioner as a Data Controller for the purposes of the Data Protection Act, and accompanied by the company documentation arriving this week I have now gained the following titles, Data Controller, Business Support Manager, Partner and Chairperson, quite an impressive list!
In other aspect havent been up to too much this week, Sam got back from thailand on wednesday, with sophie, his gf, in tow so its been a full house again, been shopping to tescos for foodstuffs, the usual stuff.
Yesterday I underwent a transformation, the beard has gone from my face and hopefully will stay that way for a while, but of course that all depends on whether I can actually be bothered to shave on an at least every other day basis so watch this space and see how the lack of facial hair pans out.
In other news also yesterday Andy underwent a transformation also, except his was a bit different, you see Sophie decided she wanted to make up andy, and so he very quickly became Andrea, looked very nice too...piccies here:
So there he is, the gorgeous andrew, he liked his new look so much he even went to Tesco in it, which was rather funny, no strange looks though, which was weird.
Anywho, this weekend is another veriatble feast of fun, with pub friday and saturday night, cinema on saturday and ice skating on sunday, all joins together for a fun packed weekend. Then next week on monday im off to a big industry show in london called PLASA with Rob N, got my ticket and everything. Stay tuned ill update you all soon!

Sherwood Forest becons.....AGAIN!
So last time i blogged it was ain a small window where NTL was working, well a bit better news, NTL is working better now, although an engineer is still coming over tomorrow as they did say there is a fault on the line so hopefully it will be even better soon! Shower still isnt sorted, but hopefully landlord will come on monday and sort it for us, i do hope so cos i want a decent shower!
So, the weekend, well went back to loughborough, after picking up andys ladyfriend from that station and dropping them off at the house for a weekend on their own, on friday evening for an evening in the pubs with mates, so we had rob newbould, jess, ashley, kat, Biddy, matt and beka eaton and of course, ed, and ed brough friends too, in the guise of Jo, the girl from Leeds who went to arizona with him, and also Emily and Becky, 2 sisters who were friends of Jo's, who all work at Calke abbey near derby, all good fun and drunken humour and good times were had, well until the end of the night when Emily and Becky went back to their car to find their alloys had been stolen, so being the gentlemen that we are, Ed and I, with Jo in tow, called the Police for them and waited and made sure they were ok before we all retired to homes for the night.
On Saturday i was rudely awakened by Staffordshire Police, who were looking after the alloy wheel case, they had tried emily and beckys home with no answe so were calling the phone which reported the crime.....mine, promplty went back to sleep for a bit after that! Finally arose late morning and just bummed around for a bit, then about 4ish went over to eds for the hell of it....and ended up fitting a new built in fridge for the family with ed and trevor (eds dad) and was then handsomely rewarded with a very nice chinese meal. By this time rob had joined us and we all decided to go to my house and play dance mat and jam on piano, computer, guitar, saxophone and singing, then ashley joined in and played dancemat with us and added human beatbox to the jamming session. Unfortunatley XBOX dance mat is alot harder than PS2 and my sister won against us all! So we now owe her a bottle of Malibu! We then all went to the park (this is 1am by now) and made up obstacle courses, which was fun....i won! YAY! Then it was retire to bed time again and suddenly it was sunday!
Sunday came and it was a 9.30 wake up call (mean to be 9 but what ya gonna do!) and we were at eds for 10, quickly joined by will gardner ready for a day of bicycling in sherwood forest, but first ed had to pack his car as he was going up to leeds for a job interview after and wanted to move stuff up there too. So Rob and Will and I played poker for a bit, joined by Kat who was picking up Biddys coat, Kat won....by a long way, but i need to learn more poker i think!
Then it was off to Asda for food then Sherwood forest, we ate out food, then nearly went to go ape instead of bikes, but in the end bikes won, we hired and went riding, after getting bored we turned off the beaten track into the forest and had an ace time just cycling round the forest! The went to the playground for more frollocking before time came to say goodbye to ed so he could goto leeds, i took rob and will over to their cars in costock then it was time for back to Stafford, since i have been back here its been not much so until next time...........
