The 18th December 2010 was our four year anniversary. I wanted the day to be extra special, unique, but entirely personal so decided London would be the perfect location as there are many parts we still haven’t explored. I booked a two night stay at the four star Kingsley Hotel in Bloomsbury, very near to Covent Garden where we had dinner that night. I asked for a room on the top floor, which the hotel were happy to provide. I had chocolates, champagne and fresh flowers in the room ready and waiting for our arrival. Of course, I had hoped that because it was our anniversary, Gemma wouldn’t suspect that I had much grander plans the following day.

I was flying up the scoreboard with a 4-2 lead and everything was going well until the seventh game when I had to run to the back wall and return a power shot from Darren. As I turned my left foot slipped underneath me and my entire body weight fell down on to the side of my right foot. A sharp pain instantly ran from my foot up my leg and through my back.

I took the plunge and signed up to another social networking phenomenon that is sweeping the Internet today known as Twitter. I’ve been blissfully unaware of how fast this new form of social media has grown until it was mentioned on Radio 1 this morning. I’ve since discovered that Twitter is far more than a glorified status update page. It’s simplicity is it’s success.
