Keeps on rolling

So the rest of the week, and the weekend too it would appear, have rolled on by and here we are again, poised on the brink of a fresh new week!

During my brief period of R and R (I didn't go back to work last week), I have done precisely... bugger all! Well, unless you include copious amounts of watching crap tv, eating crap food, and kipping on the sofa in the daytime of course!

Had a good long catch up call with Meg on Thursday night, and not only caught up on the gossip but also managed to clear the air in terms of feeling a little neglected by her lately. I understand the reasons why - she has her own stuff to deal with at the moment - but either way, friendship needs to be a two way street and her side of the road has been a little devoid of passing traffic just lately. We managed to discuss it and sort it out though, which is great, and hopefully we're on for a girly night this weekend for Straight Mate's birthday (money allowing!).

Last night saw myself and the hen night crew (sans wigs thank goodness!) celebrating the wedding of said Bride-to-be, which was held in a beautiful old country house-cum-hotel nearby. The food was good, the drink expensive, the jazz band great, and I had the opportunity of dragging my fabulous Vegas bought dress out of the wardrobe for it's second showing this year. After a £10 dry cleaning bill no less!! It was a good night, although no decent single men in attendance unfortunately, and another weekend of spinsterdom over.

Still haven't heard anything from Space, and not expecting too now, though M did make a surprise appearance by texting me "Hello" in the early hours of this morning! I chose to ignore it though - been there, done that, not about to go there again!

Back to work tomorrow - to madness no doubt after having 3 days off, and a conference (read overnight stay in hotel!) to look forward to in Manchester on Friday. Not sure how I'll cope with all the excitement!!

You should give me a call and meet up for a drink in Manchester if your doing the conference thing on your own.

Are you going to come to me Christmas party by the way on Dec 1st as decreed by Vi?

Would love to meet you.

Social life? Rugby, rugby and more rugby - well that was until the dam Frenchies, aided by cheating English ref, chucked my boys out of the world cup. Woe is us...

So this is where you've been hiding! Glad to see you still blogging even if I don't get to read them out there often!

Glad you are Rested and Recreated. Don't undo it all by working too hard.

Vi said...

Tenner for dry cleaning? I hope you didn't make any marks on it the other night, saving another drycleaning bill (good old febreeze does the trick well!)

Watching crap tv, eating crap food and kipping on the sofa in daytime. Sounds like my idea of a perfect week off!!!

Have quite a few things coming up between now and christmas, so can't really complain lady. That said, couldn't be bothered this week!

Sorry I didn't get a chance to meet up with you pixiepie. I didn't even get to see Mick :-( Not enough hours in the day when you're a working mum are there? As for the party, I can't come. It's my birthday that day and all my mates have pencilled it in for me, so alas...

Ah well, you will just have to cheer for us jr :-) Go on, you know you want to!

Hey middy! Bet I've bloody missed you now! Go away for a few days and see what happens! You'll be back for good soon enough I hope.

Erm, you were saying Alfie...!

Tell me about it Vi!! Unfortunately I dropped a knife on it at last wear so had to get it cleaned (there's still a bit of a stain now) - never fear, at that price it won't be going unless necessary!!

Could do with another one now FC!!

As above Cake. Roll on a fortnight off at christmas.
