Don't buy that one ....

Good evening


I hope you are well and had a splendid weekend. 


This evening I went out to dinner with a friend to what can only now be described as 'our local' as it has become a bit of a ritual to visit this particular Public House on a Sunday evening. After scoffing the obscene amount of food that was presented on the plate put before me, since I was in the area, I decided to visit my mother to pick up a very important object of mine .... my shovel.  Yes .... laugh all you want but I have felt very lost without my shovel since it was removed from my car on the night of my car accident (another story for another time) ... it has been at my mother's house ever since. It came in handy when we were bombarded with the dreaded snow so I want my shovel with me incase I have to dig myself out should we experience another bout of the cold white stuff!


Anyway, I digress. Driving into the town where my mother lives, I called her .... she was in a restaurant with her parter so I went to meet them for a chat over a milky cup of tea (or should I say creamy ... the restaurant had run out of milk .... what restaurant runs out of milk?? - so they gave me cream in my tea!!) I mentioned earlier I was involved in a car accident a couple of weeks ago and,consequently, my car has been declared a write off. So in the up and coming weeks, at some point, I am going to have to purchase myself a new car ... great stuff!


Now where possible ,and those who know me well will agree, I like to own things that are a little bit better than average or normal. So I have been looking around for a new auto mobil and have my heart set on a Peugeot 307cc ... not the best car but I want another convertible and I want more seats than my previous car ... this car provides both and is within the budget I have to spend. 


Well, on announcing this news to my mother .... well.... I just wish I hadn't even opened my mouth! The lecture I got in response containing the words .... "WHAT' "WHY" "EXPENSIVE" .... etc etc. She suggested that I buy a Ford Fiesta or even a Smart Car (Really??) but her final words on the matter were "Don't buy that one" to which I responded "You can't stop me". Of course, this conversation was very 'tongue in cheek" I think she just worries that I am frittering my hard earned cash away. She just doesn't understand though ... a Smart Car (at the risk of sounding like a snob) just doesn't really fit my style nor my image. Plus the fact that I looking forward to driving down to the coast during the Summer with the roof down and the tunes up! 


Anyway, that aside, I love my Mum to bits and she has helped me out a lot - especially during the last few months. I also got my shovel back! However, if I want a big expensive car then I will get it ... I will make damn sure that I get it! Ha ha!


Tiredness is looming so I am going to hit the sack. Work tomorrow .... boo!! Night all.

I live for the weekend ....

Well .... the weekend is here and, let me tell you, mine has been a pretty eventful one so far!

Friday night I had a date! As I have mentioned, I am newly single so I am pretty new to this whole dating malarkey! However, this was my 11th date in the space of 2 months, all of which have ended disastrously for one reason or another, and so as I was heading over to the agreed meeting place to meet the next unsuspecting victim (hee hee); I couldn't help but feel a little skeptical.

My feelings of skepticism may not have been too far off the mark. The date itself was fine - a nice 20 something chap from Central London, who was well mannered and polite. There was no awkwardness and the conversation flowed well - various topics were discussed from politics and current affairs to personal beliefs and dreams. However, for me, there was just not that spark there ... not even a little bit ... zero, none, nada, nothing, zip, zilch! A few white wines later on and I politely decided to end the little rendezvous and head home ....... alone!! Next candidate please .....

I swear I am destined to be single for the rest of my days at this rate ..... none of these men take my fancy at all!! Maybe it's because right now I just can't be bothered and I am living the single life or maybe, just maybe, its because I am so  completely and hopelessly infatuated with one man from what seems like another lifetime ago (and he doesn't even realize it) that I  am just not able to make the effort with anyone else - but thats a story for another time!

Saturday was an odd day! I woke with a slight hangover which faded pretty quickly. The day was spent completing housework ... washing, ironing, cleaning etc etc .... what a fun filled life I lead! 

A trip to the cinema with a friend was later cancelled as I am finding it difficult to sit for long periods of time due to some numpty driving into the back of my car a couple of weeks ago, resulting with me having some serious whiplash and broken ribs ..... yes ... ouch!!! So a chilled night in with a chum proved a good way to vent some anger, have a good gossip and discuss road trips to the beach in the Summer. Good times!

Right .. I'm off to bed now as it's late and I need to be a little more productive tomorrow! Goodnight and sleep well x

Bear with me .....

Good Afternoon. 


If you have by chance stumbled across my blog and are now feeling somewhat disappointed with the lack of posts .... then I offer my apologies to you. However, I must point out that my blog was only literally created last night so, effectively, I am a blog virgin (oooooooo) and this is all new to me!


The above is just a paragraph to explain for the lack of 'bulk' to my blog. I will update soon .... I promise!
