TELE!

Today - was a great day!  I slept in until about 945am - nevertheless, I must of needed it.  I was twisted on what I should do - but then settled for just staying in.  I drank a couple cups of coffee and got ready and ventured out to the highstreet around 11ish.  I was looking for this store and stopped in a few others.  I didn't get anything besides a few groceries from Sainsbury's.  It was about 2 so I decided to walk back to make some lunch.  I did that and then since it was SO NICE outside I had to get back outside and enjoy it.  I decided to finally check out this gym that I've been meaning to for forever!  I found it and realized that indeed it's very nice!  The fee is 16 GBP per month which isn't that bad.  They don't have classes though.  They do have personal training sessions and what not.  There's also a joining fee of like 20.  The walk to get there was about 20 minutes - I could probably make it 15 if I walked FAST.  Not sure!  The best time for me to go there would be in the morning I feel since sometimes I don't get home until later.  However they are open 24 hours which is really nice!

Well now for the fun part.  So there I was in the new part of town.  I noticed a few electronic type stores they are called ''Curry's, PC World & Comet''.  I went into all 3 of them.  Why they are all next to each other - I have NO CLUE!  They are the same stores basically.  They both had a 15 in TV for 99 GBP and between 119 GBP to get a DVD player.  Well I went back and forth and then went into ARGOS.  Argos is a store like COSTCO - however you page through whatever you want and then they retrieve it from the WareHouse for you.  It's pretty sweet actually.  I found a 16 inch TV that was PINK for 89 GBP.  Then I needed to buy an antenna which was 21 and then if you spend 100 or more you got 10 GBP off!  Well this was a deal for sure!  Bought!

Got the TV home and am now enjoying a few channels.  My favorite already is the ''SKY NEWS' which is like world news 24/7.  There are a few QVC type channels and then some ''ADULT'; channels that don't come in (thank GOD) and a few movie stations and sports.

So now I have a TV and am highly considering joining a gym...I feel more ''like I'm living here''!  I might as well start acting like it since I may be here longer!  Its not a vacation anymore - I need to feel like this is my house and I need to make it be my HOME rather!  Today was a good day of realization
