I haven’t posted for a couple of weeks so people have been asking “where in the world have you been”, well I’ve been to (in the last 24 years):

I’m a big fan of Google Maps and I love the things people manage to find in all the photos and maps of the world. I can’t think of another way of getting millions of people to look at photos of the world and report back on the interesting things they find. I reckon between us all we’ve done more analysis than any government or “intelligence” agency in the world.
For example, who knew the US military built buildings in the some very provocative shapes, wonder if they meant it!?!

Reports of 6 explosions and lots of office evacuations but so far just about everyone has checked – Matt, Charlie, Linus and Sian have all checked in.
Managed to get hold of mum and dad on the phone but still haven’t managed to get through to Ellen to let her know I’m OK – then again she’s probably still asleep

Possible Explosion at Liverpool Street!!!!!!!!
Didn’t hear the bang – but tube system is screwed and reports of walking wounded are getting people in the office a bit panicked.
Thankfully I came in early today at 8AM instead of usual 9 – which is when the blast/blasts kicked off.
According to sky news we now have explosions at Aldgate, Edgware Road, King’s Cross, Old Street and Russell Square.
More news as it comes.

Running in the JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge this week – hoping to get round in under 25mins which is what I managed in the gym a couple of weeks ago, unforunately I’ve only been running once since – oops! So much for that idea…

Didn’t do too well at the Monopoly game, only managed to collect £310,760,000 in 24 hours, maybe Matt should have picked a better friend to invest in property with in real life?
Gonna head back round tonight and work out what colour to paint my room – current favourite is a dramatic, bold and colourfulwhite. Resisting magnolia with all my might…

Well would you believe it, Matt and I have saddled ourselves with enough debt to pay compensate the G8 and World Bank when they agree to cancel third world debt (we hope) and have taken out a mortgage that only a lottery win will pay off.
18 Severnake Close is now ours!!!! Yes we got the keys… so far we’ve decided that there’s a lot more to be done than we first thought. (painting, sanding, hammering, cleaning, fixing and breaking). Only the kitchen doesn’t need a thing done to it. Celebrated with a bottle of bubbly, some pringles and dip – classy!
Welcome to my humble abode (how cheesy can I get?)

Have you seen this? Monopoly Live. I think its a great idea for a game – basically they’re tracking 18 london cabbies across London nad you can play Monopoly by buying properties and then you get money for each time on of their tracked cabs visits it over 24 hours.
I’ll post my score tomorrow – let me know how you get on.
