yesterday.

The missus got home from her conference and we decided we would get a takeaway pizza.

Dug out the Domino's Pizza menu from the wad of flyers we've got stashed. The missus said there's one in Victoria Road - which is just round the corner from us.

Decided what we were getting. Looked at the phone number for the place in Victoria Road. Rang it placed the order. Ready to collect in 10 minutes. Took a stroll round there. Noticed the phone number on the window was different to the one I'd phoned.

Suddenly I had an awful feeling I'd rung the wrong store. Rang the missus. Sure enough there's a Domino's in Victoria Road, Farnborough as well.

Dashed back home while she looked it up in the A-Z. Drove over to Farnborough. Finally picked up the pizza about 30 minutes late.

Still, made it back in time for the footie. Defoe did his bit to try and get in the England squad for Euro 2004 but generally it was a pretty poor game.

Back to work today. It's quite frustrating at the moment as I'm making a big list of things that need doing next week and the majority of them can only be done next week.

The missus has gone home for a long weekend cos she's got tomorrow off work and it's a friend's hen night on Saturday. I'll expect a drunken phone call or text at some point in the early hours of Sunday.

Might get a pre-emptive strike in as I'm off out tomorrow night for my boss's leaving do so chance for more than a few cheeky ales.

better known as Opticrom. Sounds like a nice little chemical doesn't it?

Anyway, this is the stuff I will be shoving in my eyes for the next 4 weeks.

Went to the opticians today. Said that my contact lenses had been bothering more than usual. The optician had a good look and told me that my eyes have had a reaction to wearing the lenses.

I've now got random little bumps on the inside of my upper eyelids. Very pleasant, I don't think.

So it's eyedrops and glasses for me for the next 4 weeks. After that I might be able to go back to daily disposables if the bumps have gone down.

Was going to be a bit vain and put my lenses back in to go out tonight but have decided that I'd rather get my eyes back to normal asap so have had my glasses on all day and have put the eyedrops in for the first time. Not an easy job but got there in the end.

Just cooking a couple of kievs and some potato wedges. Then off out to Fleet at some point for pub then maybe a club.

Chelsea kept up their unbeaten run in the league against Spurs as Hasselbaink's first half goal was enough for them to take all 3 points back across to West London.

Spurs started brightly enough. Defoe, fresh from an impressive England debut in midweek, saw his curling effort saved by Ambrosio with just 2 minutes on the clock. Taricco blazed over and Keane's cross went over Brown at the far post.

Lampard fired wide from distance as the Blues started to come back into the game. Doherty's headed clearance stopped Hasselbaink going for goal and then Keane had to clear off the line from the Chelsea striker's header.

The game swung back towards Spurs as Brown fed Defoe but his shot was saved. Keane played a killer ball through to Carr but the right back failed to control it and it went for a goal kick. King then headed well wide when in plenty of space.

The goal came 8 minutes before the break. Duff's cross converted by JFH to give the Blues the lead.

Keane burst into the box but was not able to beat Ambrosio from a tight angle. Crosses from Carr and Ziege then just eluded Keane and Defoe respectively.

Kanoute was introduced for Ziege at half time with Keane switching to the left side of midfield.

7 minutes into the half Spurs were denied what looked like a clear penalty as Brown goalbound shot was deflected down by Terry's arm but referee Steve Bennett was having none of it. Taricco picked up a booking for tripping the goalscorer as he closed in on goal - it could have been red but for the fact Gardner was covering.

Keller had to save well from Lampard and Gudjohnsen as Chelsea tried to catch us on the break. Defoe saw a dipping curling shot tipped over by Ambrosio before Hasselbaink fired wide.

Ambrosio had to save Gardner's header before Keane's acrobatic injury-time volley flew over.

The defeat means we are still 3 points of the magic 40 and we really need to get something out of our games over the Easter weekend, Everton away and Man City at home. Defensively we looked pretty solid today with Anthony Gardner in fine form and the Ginger Pele even playing some balls out of defence. Stephen Kelly looked more assured in his 30 minutes substitute appearance than last time I saw him play, even though he was playing out of position.

But going forward we seem to be having all kinds of problems. No Spurs player has scored in the last 5 games. The only goal for coming from Newcastle's Andy O'Brien. Quite a change from the 15 goals in 4 games prior to this barren spell. For some reason today in the first half we were putting in a lot of high balls which John Terry and William Gallas had very few problems dealing with as Keane and Defoe lack the height and presence to compete with top quality centrebacks in that area.

Then when we did have Kanoute on the pitch the supply seemed to dry up and the forwards seemed to be making the same runs and going for the same balls.

The midfield seemed to be afraid of the Chelsea players' reputations at time allowing too many 50-50 balls to be won by the Blues. Today we had 3 central midfielders and a left wing back playing across the middle. The lack of a proper right sided midfielder allowed Duff too much space. In contrast we looked strong down the left as Ziege, Taricco and Keane worked well together.

MOTM: Gardner - Another composed performance from the newly-capped centreback. Kept Gudjohnsen under wraps for the majority of the game and was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet with a late header

Went to the pub last night for my manager's leaving do. Shared a taxi over to Fleet as the buses stop running at 7.

The pub was pretty busy but we managed to nab a corner of it for ourselves. Was ridiculously warm. Had to keep standing by the door to try and get some cool air.

Wasn't originally planning on going clubbing as I thought I'd have to get a taxi back with the others who weren't going to the club or be stranded in Fleet and coughing up for a cab in the early hours. One of the other graduates said her mum was picking her up (bribed with a bottle of wine) and she could give me a lift home as it was kind of on the way.

Went to the infamous Jaxx. Wasn't there long enough to really appreciate it's awfulness. The kind of place you go to with a big bunch of mates when you're drunk and it's good fun but then constantly swear you'll never go there again.

Watched most of Soccer AM this morning with a bacon sarnie getting me set for the day. Got an earlier train than usual as I wanted to get to the pub in time to see some of the semi-final.

Got to the tube platform at Waterloo just in time to see the tube doors closing and my mate Charlie grinning at me me from one of the seats on the departing tube. He was waiting for me when I got to Oxford Circus though.

Got the bus down from Seven Sisters to Bootlaces to meet another mate Mark who'd travelled down from Carlisle. We managed to end up both buying beers for each other at the same time so stood in the corner with a good stock of alcohol to get us through the 2nd half of the semi-final. A cracking result for United, purely because it puts paid to the Scum's chances of a treble.

The Spurs result wasn't so good however and I headed home straight after the game. Have been sat watching the cricket since I got back. Looks like England are going to wrap up a third win and take the series.

Quiet day planned for tomorrow. Will be watching all the football Sky sends, no doubt. Missus is back tomorrow so have to make the flat look a bit more presentable than it does at the moment. Planning a big fry up for the morning. Marvellous.

has been as bad as I expected.

Have ended up doing 30 hours across the last 3 days. Fortunately we've broken the back of it so come 5 o'clock-ish tomorrow I should be able to head off for a long weekend.

Have has a couple of meetings with the account exec. Sounds like high-powered stuff but so not glamorous. Had to convince her we couldn't handle all the extra costs she wanted to whack on to the account this month. Eventually won her round.

Enough about work. Football, there's a better subject. Watched the Leeds vs Leicester game on Monday night. Thought Leeds had managed to throw it away before snatching it at the death.

Speaking of snatching it at the death, I particularly enjoyed seeing Chelsea's win last night. Not just because I loathe Arsenal but because Ranieri's team were better on the night. Arsenal may have just shaded the 1st half but as soon as they equalised the Blues never looked back. When Gudjohnsen's shot was blocked on the line I thought it would be just tytpical of the Gooners if they went straight up the other end and scored. But they didn't and Bridge's well worked goal meant Arsenal's treble chasing had become a solitary struggle for the Premiership in the space of just 4 days. I'm sure someone out there must have some sympathy for them. Just not me.

Getting picked up by the family at stupid o'clock on Friday morning to go down to Devon for a couple of days to see relatives down there. Coming back Sunday night so I can go to the Spurs game on Monday. The missus is staying down there for an extra week so some peace and quiet for me. Should take advantage of it and do some studying but we'll see about that.

will take some getting used to methinks.

Got out of work on time. Think we managed to keep everyone happy with our monthly and full year results.

Have to pack tonight ready for tomorrow. Will try and fit it around some more football tonight. Think PSV vs Newcastle will do me nicely.
