New Years! Woohoo! I'm not drunk - not woohoo!

It has been the usual day... Sitting around in bed, watching TV, surfing the internet, doing bugger all basically. I looked into car-sharing schemes in Somerset, only to find that your company had to be a part of it, which mine typically isn’t. There goes my idea of trying to minimise my own carbon footprint in the new year.
However the night had gotten much more interesting (for several reasons!). At midnight mum and I stood in my window watching the fireworks across the whole town from my window. A couple of our neighbours were doing their usual thing and firing them in their front garden which is the size of the average garden shed/ half the size of a garage. They were typically being rather idiotic and standing only a few feet away from the launch site, the guy didn’t even move away when one firework went straight at him!
We have discovered today that the cat has cystitis. I never even knew they could get it! However, she was quite happily crouching on the beds and anywhere upstairs and desperately trying to pee. Thankfully only little dribbles got onto the beds, but it’s still rather annoying and she managed to keep both myself and mum up all night.
I had some rather mysterious text messages throughout the New years celebrations from numbers which I did not have saved on my phone. I had 3 different people in all who were texting me. I responded to two of the numbers asking who they were, how they got my number and who they were trying to contact. Unfortunately neither would give me a straight answer. They both claim to have been sending group texts which is absolute bull seeing as how they appeared to be very individual messages! One was asking “Have you gone back to yours?” and another was “Hooray, I’m sat on Neil’s sofa. All seems well so far.” The second one was from someone called Neil, very bizarre as he was referring to himself in the third person! It wouldn’t surprise me if Dale has been handing out my number. I may send someone on a tour of Taunton phone boxes to check if my number has been put up in them!
