Terrible! Just Terrible!

Sad news, Bonkers fans... the last few days have been downright awful!

On Thursday, I went to BINGO with my Gran, which was bound to be agreat day out because Gran's a legend and I'm completely hopeless under pressure (which BINGO is, very high pressure, no joke)! So we were hoping for a few laughs and then to go home for tea. Well, not only did I win £4,000, which I could not believe, I was then promptly rugby-tackled to the ground on the way out because someone learnt that my cousin Charlotte worked as a staff member at the BINGO establishment and therefore I couldn't possibly have won on my own merit, I had to have cheated. The £4,000 was taken from me and I can never set foot in a BINGO establishment ever again...

But that's not the worst of it. I get home, hug Mum, very nice, all excited... only to find that the essays I've sent home to work on over Easter have become corrupted on both e-mail accounts that I've put them on: in other words, I've lost 1,500 words of my work! The originals should be back on the University servers, which means when I return to Newcastle, madcap fans, I've got a ton of work to do in, oh, two days? Maybe two and a half?

And, of course, the biggest news is saved to last in true Bonkers fashion. Because I'm not at home, Mum never feels the need to go into my old room and just shuts the door for the how-ever-many-months-in-a-semester-there-are. So, that means any problems with the structure of the room would go unnoticed until someone entered the room... in other words, me. I walked straight in, dropped my heavy bag to the floor and promptly fell through the weakened floor down into the living room (absolutely no word of a lie). My bag and all its contents wrecked, my ankle sprained, a gaping hole in the ceiling (downstairs) and floor (upstairs) and, to top it all, the light fitting from my room then decided to fall down through the hole and smash on my head, leaving me with an almightly headache. A visit to Frimley Park Hospital made sure I wasn't in permanent damage, but the house needs serious work done. We've sealed off my room and the section of the living room, workers are due here Monday to take a look. I suspect the flooring supports, which are made of wood in our house, have been rotten for quite some time.

What a complete pisser, eh? For all my usual happy, nothing-is-a-problem-honest attitude, these few days have started to grate... oh, and just to finish off, I've seen the first few hours of 24 Season 5, and they're absolutely rubbish. Totally unbelievable, the acting is worse than ever and the real-time aspect seems to have gone out the window.

Hope you're all having better days out there, gang. Take care, peace out.
