Today I have the eyes of the devil child!! Not that I have stolen Satan Jnr�s eyeballs of course, but they are so red and bloodshot its scaring me, never mind anyone else!! The reason for this is that I had only 3 hours sleep last night after crawling in at a rather disgraceful 3am and getting up for work at 6am! Yay me!
I had a date last night with N. I met him on Saturday evening as he is deputy manager of the bar that is rapidly becoming our local weekend haunt, and after him being abusive, argumentative and flirty, and establishing that neither Si, Si�s friend Matt nor Si�s little bro were my boyfriend, he asked me out for a drink.
And drink we did. One of the advantages of going on a date with a bloke that works in a bar is that he can make a mean vodka and lemonade at home! Of course, as is obligatory on all first dates I threw a whole glass of vodka all over my leg and his living room floor, and had a mild panic when I thought I had broken his toilet (I couldn�t get it to flush�there is a knack apparently!) but other than that it seemed to go ok. We chatted about families, music, films, work, friends and anything else we could until stoopid o�clock. We were sarcastic and abusive to each other, had a play fight, and hid from his flatmate and half of the people that he works with when they all came back and tried to break into N�s room, and I lost an earring. (No idea how but they were a new pair as well so am not happy about that!)
Pretty eventful for a first date. And he has asked to see me again so I couldn�t have been that horrendous! He is meant to be calling me today so we will see what happens. I will just take each day as it comes and enjoy the moment.
In other news, I reached my first target at Weight Watchers yesterday�although the squillion double vodka�s last night could have an adverse affect..we shall see.
And of course in true tradition of the fishy countdowns, it is now 26 days until the wife, Bectoria and myself will be sprawled out by the side of the pool reading trashy novels, getting a tan and practising the Spanish phrases we have learnt�Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! (Excited about it?? Just a little perhaps!)
Anyway, I have a huge mound of paper work to get through so I best get back to it.
