And I cannot wait!! I am taking my 7 yr old son Seb for his first trip to Gods Country - Anfield. I figured for a 7 year old it should be fun, should be a good atmosphere and some good banter to add to a great day out! I am under instructions however to get a rucksack for his new school and a new football shirt, so all being well should get there with plenty of time to have a look around the shop and savour the atmosphere, and get ready to boo Michael Owen! lol.
Badminton
I played badminton last night, the first time in a few weeks due to holiday, Liverpool being on, and I was a bit concerned about my 'scar' bleeding from Tuesday but it was fine! However, the last game I went to play a shot and had this almighty pain shoot through the ball of my foot, I have no idea what I stepped on, but it had that feeling like when you step on a plug! Today, it is very very painful
News in General
My wife had her 20 week scan yesterday, accompanied by myself and the 2 kids! All went well and seems good, it looks like it is going to be a baby girl!! This was met with a great reaction from my daughter, to one of total disappointment from my son! who's words were along the line of "we have enough girls in the house, Mum, Ellie who is a pain, 9 girl chickens and even the dog is a girl, well I hope she is a tom boy!" Happy Days!
Analytics
I would recommend that anyone who is setting up a website gets some form of analytics on it, as soon as you can. Whether its a blog or a full on e-commerce website, seeing how many visitors you have, how many are new and returning, how many pages they are looking at all helps, over time to build up a picture of how people navigate your site. It may seem pointless or complicated, but spend a little time looking through it and start with the basics. At some point, you will probably look to change or re-design your site and this data can be invaluable in trying to conclude what is good, bad and indifferent with your site - giving you pointers on how to change the messages you put across or where to position them.
I am happy yo help anyone who is starting out down this road, just leave a comment or DM me @jezzat your email address and i'll do what I can - all free of course.
There are a number of packages out there, some you pay for, some you don't, but for a freebie, it's hard to beat google analytics, if you don't have a google account, set one up and follow the instructions. You may your developer to implement the code if you get a bit stuck, but its a quick and easy process for them.

Holiday Blues
Well its been 3 days since returning from my holiday in Spain!
Work all seems ok, other than the issues I needed to resolve before I went away, still need to be resolved - but I knew that anyway and I also have to work out how to take on the book keeping, should be interesting if nothing else!
I was amazed to see how green the garden was when we got back, so whilst we were enjoying hot, dry sunny weather in Spain, it must have rained quite a bit here.
Liverpool
Well we lost 3-0 to Man City on Monday night, not the best way to end my first day back after holiday. What happened? I thought we looked like we lost focus and concentration for some bizarre reason.
I think we do have players that are good enough, but they don't try hard enough or have a confidence issue or just are different to Liverpool legends of the past in their approach. Why wait to go 2-0 down before really having a go?
In addition, the commentators drooling over Gareth Barry and James Milner makes me want to be sick! Barry is a waste of space I don't know how he plays for England or what people see in him. Then you get the "city have thumped Liverpool 3-0" crap, well you only need to look at the stats to see that they actually only had 3 shots on target and it happened that they all went in! Reina did not have 1 save to make - fact!
Yet again, we don't get any luck, When Stevie hit the post and it came back and hit Hart, if that was us, it would have gone in a la v Arsenal!
I also don't get why some people are giving Hodgson a hard time and harping on about Rafa! Yes he did ok, but, if Istanbul wouldn't have happened it would all be so different. Rafa didn't finish top 4 in his 1st season or his last, he made amazingly negative substitutions at times that I never understood - so all I say is let Roy get on with it, 2 down, 36 to go!
Starting an E-commerce Website
I have been asked a few times in recent months about setting up and starting an e-commerce website and I am happy to help and offer advice. Having created 3 or 4 to date, the creation is one thing, understanding what to look for etc and then marketing it (theres no point having the best website in the world if no one visits it) is not really difficult, but it takes time and can be very expensive without some guidance from someone who has done it to help you avoid the pitfalls!
I am putting together a guide, all free, for that process so that I can help others create what they want, and avoid the big pitfalls. At the end of the day you learn by your mistakes, so you will still make some, but, with some guidance you will be able to avoid a lot and understand why they are not right for your business or project. One thing that often doesn't get counted is the cost of time! It takes time finding out things things and I mean say months, so if you project you can make £4k profit a month, but it take 4 months to figure out why something doesn't work, that cost could be £16k!!

Liverpool Win First Comepetitive Game of Season
FC Rabotnicki 0 - Liverpool 2
It eventually arrived last night, away to Rabotnicki, with David Ngog scoring twice. A well taken opportunist first goal and a class 2nd goal, well played. You can watch a couple of minutes highlights here, courtesy of The Jepson Journal Highlights
I thought Liverpool played well, good commitment, good movement and passing - I though Aquilani looked a little quiet, but he was still solid - overall a good game.
More good news today being that Joe Cole will make his appearance in the friendly this weekend.
BBC Breakfast News
I had to turn this off this morning for one simple fact (other than they constantly get the weather reports wrong) as they had Jedward on. What a couple of idiots these two are, it is a shame that morons like this can gain publicity and earn money, and probably too much of it because they chanced their arm in an x-factor audition.
The kids are stupid, they have crap hair, they are so far up their own backsides they actually think they are good? Why? And for them to get a slot on BBC breakfast news promoting their new album is pretty poor - shame on you BBC!
Peace and Quiet
Well, my Wife and kids have gone to Devon for a week while I stay at home, paint the kitchen units and sand and lacquer the worktops and work!! This is all good though as as much as I love my mother in law in that 'family so you have to ' kind of way and she can be sweet, to spend a week with her and her twin sister isn't my idea of a holiday!
Instead, I will have to stay at home, watch what I like, eat what I like and do what I like - and lie in!! all with just myself and the dog for company - the chickens don't count as they are not allowed in the house.
Apps
If you have an iphone, ipod touch, ipad etc etc the whole Apps thing really is a minefield! some of the best ones seem to be free, some of the ones you buy should be free, and some are just crap so end up getting deleted as quickly as they get downloaded.
I tend to make a judgement from two sources that I follow on Twitter, @whichiphoneapp and @appadvice, both seem to have fairly good recommendations and keep you advised of 'price drops'.
At the moment, would recommend Firefox home, angry birds, imdb, flixster, air video, harbor master, shrek kart, twitterific, vouchercloud, broken sword.

First Competitive Match of the Season.
Liverpool F.C
Well, tonight is our first competitive game of the season in the inter toto ldv windscreen shield vase europa league or something!! It's not exactly where we want to be, but hopefully we can win it and qualify for the champions league next season!
Pretty sick and fed up with all the crap transfer rumours at the moment and the sooner the transfer window closes the better as far as I am concerned.
Pretty unhappy that the game is on a pay per view channel as well, so for us to watch our beloved club put out a reserve team, we have to pay a fiver or something, bring on a good free stream. This one can be good! http://www.firstrow.net/
I haven't seen this version of the new kit before?
Trip to Brighton
Yesterday, I had a business meeting in Brighton which was fine, but on the way back, instead of going the quick route, went a more scenic route through West Sussex into Hampshire.
I must say it was quite enjoyable, and I was amazed at how many big houses and estates there were, I didn't realise I lived so close to so many affluent people - where did I go wrong?
Ear
My ear is still sore!! its been about 4 days now and I have the most painful, and massive (but been assured its tiny) spot in my ear.
Two problems, one it bloody hurts and I cant see it or squeeze it and secondly I am paranoid that I have developed ear hair and have an issue with ingrowing ear hair! Sure I'll forget about it soon enough.
