What a weekend!

Well that weekend was certainly eventful. I don’t even know where to start!

Ok so Olivia arrived Saturday lunch time and I was so excited to see her. Just before her arrival I had a great idea to dye my hair back to blonde. The only problem with that was the previous Thursday I had dyed my hair nearly black. Now I am not sure if any of you have ever tried to strip your hair but the following happened – first we put the eggy smelling liquid on my head, covered my hair with clingfilm. I then proceeded to sit and wait for the colour to be stripped out whilst dreaming of having beautiful blonde hair (also in my mind there was few highlights as well, not really sure how I thought this was going to happen). Anyway I can confirm that blonde hair was not what I ended up with. More an orange with black patches mixture! OMG disaster.

Bless Olivia when I showed her she tried to keep a straight face and say it wasn’t that bad but as I was not blind I knew the truth! Anyway a quick trip to buy some more hair dye and back to brown I went. Well that was a fun game.

So that night a couple more of my friends arrived and we decided to head into town. Now I would like to mention that the previous night before I found out about Mr FWB’s goings on I had told him that I was going out so he knew where I would be. Yep that’s right he turned up with one of his friends. Now I wouldn’t have minded so much however when his friend saw me he mouthed “Oh sh*t” to Mr FWB like I was some kind of drama causer. It also showed that whatever Mr FWB told his friend, clearly made him out to be some kind of saint and me a crazy woman.

I decided to ignore them both and went and had some drinks with my friends. We left soon after to only be followed by them to the next pub. I then pretty much spent the whole night trying to avoid running in to him which kind of ruined it a little bit for me as I couldn’t really relax.

Overall the night was good but it could have been better if it hadn’t once again been for Mr FWB!

Anyway yesterday was spent chilling and eating a lot. Diet starts today!

OMFG

Ok so I had to do a quick update on the FWB situation. The dirty dog was only messaging me last night whilst out on a date with another girl. How do I know this? Well the fool went to where one of my best friends works and she saw him.

Once I found this out there were tears and frustration but most of all I was just angry. I honestly believe this was exactly what I needed to break the ‘spell’. I text him and told him to never contact me again and that I was sick of never being good enough. He didn’t reply but I honestly didn’t care. I said my bit, end of.

I thought this morning I would wake up feeling really sad (like has happened in the past) but noooo I woke up feeling angry with him and kind of free. This is a good thing I think.

I really am too good for him. I mean Christ the guy really does not have much going for him at all. I wasn’t going to say anything but the other day he crashed his car and now is going to lose his license for drink driving. Can you say loser!

Anyway had to quickly get this out. Now time to enjoy the rest of my weekend with Olivia and Melissa! J

Proud of me!

So I am a little bit proud of myself. I haven’t had any contact with Mr FWB since Monday. For me that is really good. I have completely resisted the urge to contact him. It has also helped that he has not contacted me too but hey that’s not important.

I am still frustrated that I do have the urge to contact him though. I mean I know he is bad for me, I know he uses me, I know we will never be together. So why do I still want to keep going back for more. Maybe I will invent a drug which people can take that helps them get over someone. I would be a millionaire. As that is likely not to happen I guess the only thing for it is to find a rebound. Just something that can make me think there is more out there than just him. Time to start mission “One night stand”. I feel like I should have music playing as I say that. Bit like something a superhero would have. Just call me Supershagger. Ok may need to rethink that name. Wish me luck people.

I teased the other day about Dana. Well now that she is no longer with the boy I can actually tell you that she may have had a little kissy session with both man A and it turns out (she told me at the weekend) man B as well in Ireland. Naughty girl. All of this whilst texting the boy telling him that she wasn’t doing anything. She has also been (and for some time it would seem) seeing an old flame of hers. I honestly cannot keep up! I can barely remember one guy’s name let alone 4. She is clearly a practiced lady at this.

Anyway nearly the weekend! J

Time for a new start

What a great weekend. Melissa got the job! Yay! So Friday, me, Dana and Melissa went out to celebrate. We were joined by a couple of other friends and it actually turned out to be a really good night. Lots of drinking, silly dancing and being eyed up by old men. What more could you ask for from a night out! J

I did however once again fall into the trap of messaging Mr FWB. I was very close to going to his but luckily for me he fell asleep so I didn’t.

Saturday night we had a Summer ball to go to with my parents, Sister and brother in law. It was really funny. We watched people attempt to learn the jive and then bet in a casino. We actually won quite a few times unfortunately we were not playing with real money. The night ended with Mr FWB drunkenly texting me practically begging me to go to his. I ignored him!

Sunday we just chilled out really. We have so much coming up that it was nice to have a relaxing day. We (me and Melissa) have booked tickets to go to see a couple of our friends next weekend and this weekend we finally have Olivia coming down. I cannot wait to see her! I am so excited.

So the time for new start once again refers to Mr FWB. I think I actually want to start dating again and I can’t do that with him hanging around. I am currently sat making plans with Melissa as to where to meet new potentials. As for the previous potential, he is out of the question.

I need to remember to update you on the men in Dana’s life – lets just say a little more happened in Ireland than I may have let onto before!

Hope you all had eventful weekends!

A possible potential

Wow this week has been busy. My sidekick at work has been off so I have had double the amount of queries, problems and stupid questions to deal with. What fun! She is back now though so I am taking a break to catch everyone up on the goings on in my life.

As the title suggests there is a possible potential. It is very early days and has kind of come out of the blue. He is a friend of a friend and I got talking to him about a month ago when we went out in London. I had known him for years but we had never really had much contact with each other. Anyway he messaged me on good old Facebook the other day asking how I was and how he had enjoyed chatting to me on the night out. We have since swapped back and forth a few messages. I am not sure how I feel about him (Melissa thinks I should go for it but I think she really means sleep with him) but I honestly don’t know. I think if he asked me out for a drink or something I would more than likely say yes but we will see. I may be jumping the gun slightly and he may just be being polite.

I am currently waiting on the edge of my seat to hear whether Melissa has a job or not. I am keeping my fingers crossed. We have a lot of plans which involve money so it would help a lot if she got one J

This weekend we are off to a summer ball with my parents. Again fancy party dresses, dancing and cheap drinks. My 3 favourite things!

So it looks like Steven is getting a little serious with a potential of his own. He didn’t even come home the other night the naughty boy. Good for him though!

The housewarming

This weekend was our housewarming party. It wasn’t really a party as such as we didn’t really invited that many people. We just wanted a quiet BBQ and to begin with that is what we got. It then turned into a drunken visit to town mess. Of course!  Two of mine and Melissa’s friends from travelling came to see us which was great as we hadn’t seen them for so long. Melissa however got a little drunk (ok very) and decided she was going to try and make out with one of them. Unfortunately for him she would have made out with a table leg given half the chance (yes she was just that drunk). After we got back to the house she decided she was going to have a heart to heart with said guy. The only problem with this is she does not actually remember what was said. We are now waiting to find out if she declared her undying love (this would not be true) or was actually honest and told him he was lovely but not the man for her. In the meantime we are avoiding all contact with him for fear of a marriage proposal.

I myself was not innocent in the foolishness. I decided I would send Mr FWB a barrage of text messages ranging from wanting him, to telling him never to talk to me again. Yep we all get a little silly when we drink don’t we. Wont be doing that for a while (ok well not until Saturday anyway) J

Yesterday was Canada day so we went up to London where the celebrations were taking place. It was really good fun and I may have found a new love for hockey. Going to try and get to see a real game soon so we shall see if I still find it as exciting. I also tried Poutine for the first time. For anyone who doesn’t know what that is it involves chips, cheese and gravy and apparently very popular in Canada. It was good!

This week I am going to have a chilled one. I need to save my money and not drink! Apparently it is bad for your health. Who knew.

Oooo I believe Dana has broken things off with the boy! I am not too sure of the details but knowing Dana as well as I do I am sure it won’t be long before there is someone new on the scene, if of course there isn’t already.

I think we are going to try a lock and key party soon with Melissa so I will report back on that when it happens.

Hope everyone else had a good weekend and for all my Canadian readers, Happy Canada day for yesterday J

Fifty shades of Grey and Mr FWB

I am about half way through Fifty shades of Grey and I am still not getting what all the fuss is about it. I mean I am no massive erotic book reader but even I could write something better than this. It is slow and just a little bit silly. I think this is a great example of people believe what they have been told. So many people have said how great it is I think people just expect it to be true. Also all my friends want a “Mr Grey” uh why? He is strange and mean. I do not want a man like that. I normally don’t take so long to read a book but this one I am finding hard to pick up not put down. A shame really as I did want it to be as good as it was made out to be. Maybe the second half will be better. I am not optimistic! L

As you all know I have been speaking once again to Mr FWB. Well things got a little more than just friends recently which has resulted in me deciding that we can never just be friends. I like him and my feelings are not going to change. No matter how much I write it down or tell people any different. So the other day I sent him a message basically saying I cannot be his friend and that we have never been just friends. I wanted more or I wanted nothing at all. He never replied to me so I think I got my answer. At least now he knows how I feel and if he does decide to contact me I will tell him that he made the decision not me and to not contact me again. I refuse to pretend to him that I am ok being friends when I am not.
