Believe it or not on more than one occasion someone has said to me "why don't you start a diary?". I just thought who on earth would want to read "got up early, went to work, posted on blonde, came home, watched tele and went to bed" on a daily basis which is pretty much all I have done over the last 2.5 years. Before that time it might have been a different story..
However, now that I have broken free of the 9-5 (read 7-7) lifestyle I feel like I could have something semi interesting to write.
Today is my first full week since being made redundant and I can honestly say I don't think I have ever been happier! I was suffocating in that office and I genuinely feel like I can now breathe again.
I don't actually have any concrete plans for what the future will hold, I have enough money behind me so I don't have to worry about any sort of bills / expenses until the end of June next year and that's about as far as It goes.
Possibilities in order of preference:
Poker - Somehow make a living from poker (in before lolz, gl)
SAHD - Be a stay at home dad and just about get by on just the missus' wage
Start a business - Custom toyboxes
Get another job - Barring 6 months I have had various full time jobs since I was 16, I turn 30 in 6 months and don't really ever want to have a 'jobjob' again.
I have a fair bit to say but I don't want to make it tldr, I basically plan to document whatever I get up to over the next 8 months, June 01st is my D-Day where I hope to have a much clearer vision of the future.
For those who don't know me. I am Dave Milligan, a 24 stone, hat wearing, film loving, pizza eating, love machine who unfortunately has the voice of a 9 yr old girl.
Here I am in a rare appearance without a hat holding my daughter Amelie.

It would be cool if people came along for the ride, feel free to share your own thoughts and opinions or ask me any questions. Hopefully this will make a bit of a refreshing change from the one post one diary type things and all the pure grinders out there.
This week I will mostly be trying to sat into UKIPT IOM and youtubing how to carve pumpkins.
