starting to make dollar$

Friday, June 9th, 2000

yes, its true, since i advertised at a lower price, no less than 4 (with an unconfirmed 7) people have signed up and thats all in 2 days!!! Mad! :eek:
So have been quite busy all day, making sure the system is all up and running, getting the new user details in and generally trying not to panic!

Got a really good component for Delphi which allows me to output straight to a website via the CGI interface (basically so like http://www.some.com/main.exe could output a website!!) which is gonna be really handy, and should help boost my cred :D oh the joys of programming!

Zak says he can get the fully boxed version of Delphi, 5 Enterprise for me for phree, which i really hope he does, as it will seriously help me out at uni, but i dunno time will tell :)
Talking of Mr Malek, Mr MalIk still owes me that other £20, grrr…. oh and talking of college, Nisha is in a bit of bother after getting caught with some of my work, i hope i can get her out of it :( i really want her to come SouthBank next year… *cross fingers*

Had a lovely tea tonite, mmmmm, Fajitas, well done Cheryl! Oh and put £5 on Holland beating the Czech Republic on sunday, COOOMMEE OONNN YYOOUU ORRAANNGGEE!!! heheheh :lol:

Anyway, am dead excited about all this extra ca$h, so will leave now to go and run and jump about!

woo hoo! :D :lol:

what happened? stupid latinos…

how could this happen to me, Mexico can only draw (Well ireland force a draw) and I yet again lose my money :mad:
Maybe I am not the betting type (nah, you think? ;)) so will never again put any money on anything, except for the £5 which I have to (stoopid bluesquare).

What can I do it on? I will consult Derrick tomorrow morning, grrrrrr….. GOOD NITE :(

it was a bloody draw! :(

who could belive it?!? How could it possibly happen? France DRAW 2 all with JAPAN?!?! It’s just statistically impossible, and means i lose my £10 :(
Luckily, I still have a bet riding on Mexico beating Ireland, which will win me £10, so puuurrllleaaaseee win Meh-chi-kooo! :lol:

Report back later, so see what has been going on!

i seem to have got a bit addicted

Just a shorty this time, cause i wanted to add a bit of suspense to my little world. :rolleyes:
William Hill were doing another thing along the lines of BlueSquare whereas you make one bet and you get money back to put on another.

So, i’ve now got 2 bets riding, 1 for £10 on the france vs japan match, and then £5 (which actually gives back £9.60) on mexico beating republic of ireland. :D
Atm , Bluesquare still aint working, so i do still have £10 there, hopefully it will be back up for later so i can put it on the Holland match. :eek:
Nevermind, will find out if I won anything later on… watch this space :D

cheryl i forgive you :) Martika, will reply when i wake up :D

Hello people, back on my REAL computer today after that awful experience with the Psion yesterday :( Got some excellent house tunes here which i just downloaded from Napster :) That thing rules, i would have NO way of getting them otherwise ;)
I had planned last night to put the other £10 bet on the England game today, but the stupid site bluesq.com was down for ‘routine matinatence’ (or however you are supposed to spell it :)) so couldnt do it. I’ll check again tomorrow to see what other things I can do.

Hadn’t really arranged to do anything today (except get Die Hard II from Blockbuster) so when I woke up i just put on the TV :D Kane was featured a lot in WWF today … woo hoo! (yeah I’m 19, so what?!? ;)) which went on until about 2pm.

Tom hijaked the computer to do all his GCSE revision, bless him, i never did any and hey, look at me!! (hmmmmm….. ;)) well, i’m in a good enough mood now!

Parents went out somewhere, but then must have thought i did something good as dad brought me back the new Bon Jovi album - Crush. I was quite overcome actually, and it saved me quite a bit of ca$h. Haven’t listened to it yet, but i needed it to keep my collection going (i have all the bon jovi albums from the start, i used to be a great fan). Infact, I would have liked to have gone to the concert over here in August, but unfortunately it is whilst i am on holiday :(
Yeah, i was supposed to be going out this evening with cheryl to either Catch 23 (which sounds soooooooo cool) or just to get pissed, however she instead went out with someother people, grrrr, she was lucky she never did that when we went out ;) :D
So i was forced to contact someone else, did I? did I f*ck :) I just stayed in and listened to some most excellent hard house. like i said above, have downloaded a lot more as well, hey, BK is a very cool dude :)
Been on the Liv4Now page reading thorugh all the forums :) some people on there are just plain weird… but then, well, each to their own (mmm…. britney in schoolgirl uniform :D)… can’t wait to start going out with someone again… HAHAHAHAHAHA! :D
What else of interest, hmmmm, not a lot, this week has been pretty damn relaxed and not a lot has been accomplished. Today was supposed to be when i did my sw11online site, but that seems to have tailed off now.

Yeah, like I said in the title, Martika i will reply to your mail tomorrow (Well today really) when I wake up, just not in the mail mood atm…

From the distant depths of london… to you my friends, goodnite!
