Goodbye and thanks for all the Tapas March 16, 2008

On Friday it was the leaving party for a collegue who is moving to Australia.  She is v. brave, i envy her the wonderful adventures she is going to have. Anyway, we went to a Tapas place in Brighton.  Everyone was on Sangria except for leaving girl and another collegue who had opted for |Vodka orange.

Seeing as it was “take the piss chosing drinks becuase the bill is going to be shared” night, i decided to order a bottle of red.  Someone had ONE glass of it  and i drank he rest.

As my MN friends in brighton know,  I get drunk v. easily on red wine, but  don’t think i could suffer the work related ramblings on a friday night, with people who arn’t really friends..sober.

I gave this girl a lift - she is such a laugh and by the time we got there most people were already seated..so i was at the end and i was not facing anyone - i always do that..get myself into a position where communicating over the table is imposible.

THANK GOD for teh arrival of the office bitch.  HE is such a bitch its untrue he wears creased clothes is never tidy and has wild hair and HE makes comments about other peoples appearance.  He is verbally gifted it the small talk and i didnt have to pretend that i could hear peoples conversation and smile when they did, when i couldnt really.

once we were a bit shtholed the night started to go really well, we went to HA HAs after ( been there with MN crew) got chatting to this man who made a coment about my accent and i told him i was from Oldham.  He asked me to guess where he was from and i said “birmingham” ( i mean its quite recognisable) and he gave me a big drunken hug.

Wonderful darling husband picked us up at about 1am so me and friend got in car and sand nickleback and nirvana in trez drunken fashion. after dropping her off, by the time we got home, i was v. pissed.  Darling Husband had to help me to house, help me to bed, help me get changed…

Next morning (yesterday) i brought quilt downstairs ala last week i was v. rough - it really equalled last week. I was sick as soon as i got up and darlinghusband went to the shop and bought pastries tobe eaten in a particular order in accordance with how well i became throught out te day.  I was to start with a plain croissant, move onto a pain au chocolate, then to a raisin danish then as i became v. well the finale was a chocolate twist.  He also bought paracetemol and Renne! The guy is a doll.

I lay there naked under the quilt and i didn’t move. i watched crap tv all day.  we watched a couple of movies ‘The valley of Elah’ and no reservation. the first one was rubbish - it went on for too long and the point was that soldiers get fucked up when they go to war.  No shit.

the second one was the love story/cooking thing with C.zeta Jones.  this was a better hanover movie - but as far as girlie movies go - this was also crap.  I wathed one NCIS, and one Law & Order SVU. and then i finished the evening with ‘bell, book and candle’ starring James Stewart. which was quite good. not the best James Stewart as that would have to be ‘Harvey’ I LOVE that film.

Today we got up at 8.30 - I took Ez to school ( yes its Sunday) as she has been going the last few weeks becuase she has to practice for the Drama producton which is happening next Wednesday.  The irony is the Production is Easter related( naturally it is a catholic school) and yet its Palm Sunday today… <rubs chin>.

Then continuing the hopeful mood we started last week where we decided to sort out our shit in case we actualy get to move, i cleaned under cupboards and under the fridge, i cleaned inside cupboards and Dh did on top o the cupboards, i cleaned behing the bin and washing basket, i cleaned out the microwave and DH washed down the side of the fridge, DH emptied the shelves in the living room and packed away the books and the CD’s into BOXES!!

 DS1 came home from whatever debauchery he has been committing this weekend and he tidied the bathrooma nd the landing.  Meanwhile ds2 is supposed to be tidying their bedroom, i doubt v. much if this has been done, but y’know when you just can’t be fucked arguing? well i can’t , not today. So i haven’t seen it yet.

 and its only 2pm.
