Eugh. Horrible news :(

Howdy,

Been a really horrible day today If you read my last blog you'll know I aint been too happy lately anyway, well this morning just added to the trauma!

My first day off in ages, I planned on sorting my room out and just chilaxin about all day. Well I got up and went downstairs to get some breakfast, and noticed that ALL my fish were floating on top of the tank dead

I shouted my mum to come in and then we noticed that Wayne, the biggest fish was actually still alive but he was floating on the top basically half dead

In a shocked mad rage we threw him in the washing up bowl in fresh water. He had a big blood patch on his nose and all his fins had bloody vains, he was internally bleeding I looked on the net and it turns out he has septicemia. In the tub he was still floating on his side gasping for air so my mum held him upright with his head out of the water to see if he could breath properly and it seemed like it woke him up out of a coma or something.

We went to the Aquatics shop and bought a new tank so he has loads of free room to swim and got him some anti bacterial medicine stuff to see if we could save him.

Now hes in the tank and luckily he seems to be ok. He is very sluggish but he is swimming again now. I have a video of him in his new tank
here. Hopefully he will be ok.





I tell ya what though, Pippin was so cute. Wayne is like his little friend, and he always used to put his paw on the tank to try and touch him. When Wayne was in the bowl Pippin was sitting at the side watching him the whole time, and when I took him out of the kitchen and closed the door he was really eager to get back in trying to open the door and he would run back to the bowl to see if he was ok. It was if he was genuinely worried and upset cause he knew he wasnt well

Oh yeh and bleh, also work sucks. We may have to work on Boxing Day, gonna find out tomorrow.

So yep, been a crappy day indeed

Believe it or not...

Well, general pooage:

1) I am officially working on the Customer Services/Queries phoneline at Littlewoods Which means, I'm meant to be able to answer pretty much any question you have ... yeh right! lol

In a way its kinda like a promotion, even though it works out im only on £500 more a year! lol

Its bloody hard though! Its all Crediting and Debiting, Dividing and Multiplying, Credit Limits and Balance, Past Dues, Abbreviations and Annotations, Arrears, Speed Dials, and Data Protection Act, Cashback, Interest, Insurance and Buy now pay later, and my god the list goes on

Ahh well, I'll get it eventually i hope lol

2) On to Korn/Deathstars... was awesome but we got there to find out that we had SITTING TICKETS, twas mega bummage I felt like crying! We could hardly see them, twas my fault tho i didnt even think.

Oh and Flyleaf, well.. all i can say was... they were absolutely appauling. I just couldn't believe it

So yeh, me and dean made a decision.. never going the Apollo Arena again unless its an amazingly unbelievable band which we've never saw, with a guarantee of standing tix!! lol Its just a pain in the ass to get to aswell

3) Regarding my Xbox, My Viva Pinata disc has fucking scratched, so now I cant play it anymore :( Its so bad the data has actually came off. iI think the cats have walked on it!. I'm gonna havta buy a new one. Oh and not only that but my xbox live subscription expired today!

AND

4) My 4ft fishtank basically leaked everywhere. Just before i was gonna go to sleep, i went the toilet and when i came back i realised my bedroom floor was underwater and the fish were swimming in about 4inches of water left which was in the tank! So i had to quickly take them out and put them in a bowl before the tank gaveway, and then i emptied what water was left in the tank and pulled all my cupboards out so i could put towels down on the floor to soak up the water before it went through to the electrics!

And today, i had to buy a new fishtank, which ended up costing me £100 quid! Bleh! I hope those goddamn fish appreciate it! lol

And thats about it really.. wish me luck for work tomorrow. I've a feeling im going to get my first angry customer lol

sigh.. beavis..

I went to the pictures yesterday with Sean n Dean to see Stealth (Which by the way is great) and afterwards when we were in Maccies i got some bad news.

My mum rang me and told me that when she was feeding the fish, the wooden plank on top of the tank fell in. She then noticed that one of the fish floating on the top which meant the plank had killed it. She went to take it out but it started to swim in circles and she noticed its eye had came out.

As far as i know he was half alive and half dead because for a couple of minutes he would be floating on the top, hen he'd go down and swim in circles then float back up again. Beavis used to do that anyway, he would always float of top and for a long time i thought he was going to die but he never did.

My mum didnt know what to do, so she tried to put it out of its misery by killing it. She took him out of the water and put her finger over his gills, but once she took her fionger off he started to move again so she put him back into the water and rang me wondering what to do.

I told her to leave him in the tank to recover, and if he dies he dies, and she said she doesn't want to because the weather loaches are eating at his eye socket, and that they had already eaten his eye. So i then told her to put him in the old tank under my bed on his own.

When she was first on the phone to me, she just told me that it was the 'orange and white fish'. I asked her exactly which it was, and she still didnt explain properly. For the whole convosation i thought it was either Bill or Ted (the fish daniel gave me). I dont care for them fish as much as i do the others because they aren't my own, i didnt choose them. But then when i asked later on exactly which they were and asked if they were the ones dan gave me she said no, she thinks it was the one with the black fish. (Thats Beavis and Butthead). Well.. that was the biggest shock of the whole night. Beavis was my favourite fish, and to find out ages later that it was him was horrible.

I rang her back to make sure she had got the old tank out and she told me he had died while i was on the phone to her earlier. So i asked her where he is now and she said in a glass jar in my room. She was going to leave him there until i came home, but i didnt want to see him missing an eye so i told her to flush him down the toilet. When i came home, she hadn't done it, because she said she hadnt the heart. So i got him and flushed him down myself with Danny.

God it was horrible, im not going to get a new fish now, not after that. I made the same mistake trying to replace Garth, and i came back with the evil Weather Loaches, who like to eat innocent fish. Well, Dean is havin them now, as soon as possible.
