Quick update

So its 5am and I'm sitting in an Internet cafe on tottenham court road having just finished work. Had to sort out my new online banking account and thought that seeing as i have 51 minutes of free time left that i would just do a short blog before bed to get a few things out.
First i'm ill! missed 3 days off work this week and i don't feel much better now. I hope that its just a really chesty cough but am a bit worried it might be an infection which would suck. I'm gonna stick on the over the counter medicine for a while and hope that it clears itself up but the most annoying thing is that it has ruined my swimming routine. I was up to 80 lengths (15m pool) a day but haven't been able to swim for the last week which has annoyed me big time!
The new flat is awesome, i love my room, i love the lounge, i love the whole fucking complex. It really is so much better than the old place and we are planning on moving a friend of ours (Mike 'N-dog' alp) into the lounge so it will be exactly the same price as the old place. Only put in 1 gym session thus far but when i'm feeling better hope to go a few times a week and swim most days. I'm also loving the ping pong table can't wait to gamble it up on there.
So on to good old poker, the internet has not been installed yet (should be about 10 days) so have had limited opportunity to play since my last blog. Up about $1500 from a tidy little online session at gutshot and also won £400 playing live but in general not been putting the hours i would like in. Think i'm gonna play at gutshot the next two nights and will mix it between live and online and hope to win another $1K or so and make sure april wasn't a complete waste of time.
Still not sure when i'm going to leave the casino and go back to full time. I have a good idea of the kind of money i'm gonna need for living expenses and the separate poker bankroll i would like but i'm not in a massive rush. Plus when i leave i plan on giving this a real shot so i'm gonna try and write some poker/lifestyle rules that i will hope to stick to, yes i will post these at some point.
With poker out the door been gambling far to much on pro evo 2008. Down about £500 on the month (£170 in 1 night) but i love it and have no desire to stop. Also had a few cheeky 10p/20p games at the flat which have been as fun as ever, usual sick game with great banter and still amazing how much money swings in this game. My proudest hand was last night when i played the whole hand blind and won a £100 when i flipped KK at the end. WHAMMY!
Not much else to mention really, looking forward to playing some poker over the next few days and am so happy that winter is finally behind us. Going to Newquay again this year on June 8th with summer break and i can't wait. Thousands of students, great clubs, great beach and some top quality lads so bring on the bottle of red wine at 2pm in the swimming pool! good times x
