Christmas Eve! Woke up early to watch the Chelsea Arsenal game with Dave, what a waste of time that was 0-0 boring. Went back to bed for a quick snooze after that and then moved to the lounge where most of the guys were, played a few games of FIFA and then popped to the shop to buy a few groceries, hopped into a hammock when I got back and read some more GOT, later a few of the guys went to BWS so I got a lift with and got some cash out for rent and some beans fo...

Great success!
