I finally managed to get my 10,000 points on xBox live last night. I got my final 10 Points playing Crackdown, so now I’ll have to aim for 15k!

So, who will it be? The next few games are going to be really interesting at the bottom of the Premiership, any of the teams to the left could go down.

I work with a couple of Charlton supporters, one is convinced that they will stay up and believe that it is Fulham who will drop down which seems quite likely the way they have been playing, the other fan thinks they are going down lets see what happens…..

Also good luck to the Arsenal Ladies when they play the 1st Leg of the Uefa Cup Final tomorrow

Haven’t posted anything recently because we have been really busy. We have been to the gym 4 times already and I am starting to pick up a good pace with my running, I’m comfortably running 2 miles and will keep building upon that, I am also swimming a lot which I am really enjoying.

Last night we went to the Soho Theatre to see Michael Mcintyre who was brilliant. We have also booked tickets to see Mika at Somerset House in July which we are really looking forward to. Its a matter of being really good and saving up for the wedding at the moment so little treats are really nice. We have started work on the wedding area of the site so go and check it out…

A and I have joined the Gym in an attempt to get fit for the wedding, I also started playing football again last night which was good. It’s swimming tonight and then I might even go for a run on Sunday!

Microsoft have announced that on the week commencing May 7th 2007, a massive free software update to the Xbox 360 will be delivered over Xbox Live. Main highlights include support for Windows Live Messenger, better achievement notification and much more…

Also there is a new QWERTY Keypad that will attach to your controller to be released as well to make life easier when it comes to talking to your friends on WLM.

A quick round up of the the new features are:

- A richer Achievement notification pop-up will showcase the name of the unlocked Achievement and the gamerscore value without needing to leave the game to check the Achievements list.

- Enhanced family settings features for Xbox LIVE communications enable different defaults for video chat and voice chat.

· A new Xbox LIVE Marketplace blade lets Xbox LIVE members access the content they seek — whether it is game content or TV shows and movies (available in the United States) — from one place on Xbox LIVE.

- Updates to Xbox LIVE Arcade allow owners to quickly see which Xbox LIVE Arcade games their friends are playing and join in the fun. Xbox LIVE members can also compare progress of leaderboard scores and Achievements directly with all friends on their friends list. Expanded Tell a Friend capabilities make it easier than ever to boast about Achievements and high scores.

- A new option in Auto Downloads provides faster access to the entire collection of free, trial-version Xbox LIVE Arcade games.

- New progressive download controls provide easy access to optimal viewing options by letting people fast-forward, rewind, pause and resume as their video is downloaded from Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

- Extension of the background download functionality will allow owners to set their Xbox 360 console to turn off automatically after downloads are complete.
Look Forward to it….

So we are back from our few days away, we Jetted off to Barcelona on Monday morning and arrived back this evening. We had a really nice time except for the weather! It rained mostly and we only had a day of sun, but we got to do all the things we wanted to (and a bit more!)

Once we had got to Barca on Day 1 one we had a quick wander around where we were staying and got soaked on the way, we went up to the Sagrada Familia and did a little bit of food shopping before having a siesta and then grabbing some food in a cool thai restuarant. On the second day we visited some of the other Gaudi creations and also visited the Gothic area of the city. Again the rain really got in the way of what we could do but we still had a good time exploring the city and getting lost quite a bit :).

On our final full day we actually had some good weather, so we got up early to head over to FC Barcelona’s Nou Camp. When we arrived a helpful local told us that FCB were actually training that day in the little stadium next to the ground so we spent an hour watching the likes of Messi and Gudjohnsen take part in their training and some mini matches. We then did a tour of the stadium and visited the museum. aftwerwards we then became proper tourists and got on the open top bus to get an even better view of Barca. Taking in some more Gaudi we went into the Sagradi Familia, which was very cool then headed to Park Güell. The weather then got the better of us!

We left the city this morning and now I am getting all the photos uploaded, when we get a chance we will update the actual Barca page that has been created with some more detail
