| Heaven on a plate |
A few days later I felt like I was on the mend, I'd being staying at my oldest mate Chris' not too far from where I grew up and spent a nice few days catching up with old school friends, and we'd arranged to meet up one evening to catch the West ham vs Spurs game. I hadn't been to see my beloved Hammers play for a while and it was a nice evening with old mates and the beautiful thing about whenever we got together was no matter how much time we spent apart it would always be as if we were back at school. We spent a lot of time after the game reminiscing about the old days and it left me feeling as if I was getting on a bit, there was a re-union coming up at the end of the year for a 10 year anniversary. 10 years since we had our first day! I know I'm only 21 but even now I close my eyes and I'm back in maths class flicking pencils - a memory which seems so distant now. With my young illusions of grandeur I thought I'd be an academic high flyer by the time I was 21 - not homeless with a part time job and not much else to show.

| Come on you Irons! |
I spent a day back at my mums house - motivated mostly by the thought of a nice roast dinner. Spending the last few days on a cocktail of meds had me craving for a decent wholesome meal the minute my throat infection had cleared - and it was all timed perfectly. Chris' parents had been away so his neighbour was bringing us food and the whole at his place was nothing but pleasant other than the fact I discovered I was allergic to cats. And the fact that Chris didn't know how to turn on the heating so we had to go to bed everynight freezing our socks off. Luckily for us Friday night arrived quickly and it was the start of another fun filled weekend.

| Hayleys room. |
Our friend Hayley had thrown a party in her warehouse south of the river and they had a reputation for bieng hedonistic affairs, which she was entirely an advocate of. There was a hogroast that had been going for the past 8 hours so by the time we got there it was literally falling off the bone and ready to dish out, perfect timing. The night went on as most do at Hayleys and after an excessive night of alcohol drugs and sex flying around everywhere I needed to lay my head for a bit at around 7 in the morning and Hayley offered me her bed to stay in. One of her friends and another girl were having a fumble under the sheets and she shooed them out as blase as a child chasing a pigeon which in the state I was in completly suprised me. None the less it was refreshing to seeing someone with such a care free attitude about the whole thing and she placed me in bed and tucked me in. I asked her where she was staying as the Bass still pumped downstairs "Off to work mate" she told me. I laughed out loud at her and told her how much of a crazy mother fucker she was in a drunken babble and she agreed - and off she went.
