Daffy's 'a nice cup of tea cheers you up' diary

Cheery_Daff

I know what you mean Happy! :rotfl:

Just had a lovely little walk in the sunshine, and a lovely catch up with a friend I don't see so often :T She handed in her PhD yesterday, so is all happy and smiley! (and I was just a little jealous - pah! :rotfl:) And she's invited me to a (free! with free drinks!) swing night on Saturday So in the spirit of saying 'yes' - I said 'yes', of course! :j

Still got to decide on whether I go to Manchester tomorrow night or not. I'd like to see the people, but I'm really not sure I want to spend that money on a Friday night in Manchester... I said I could go over on Saturday in the day time, but people are going home then. So got to decide today really. Still not sure what to do...

Anyway, cuppa I think, then some PhDing

I have a habit of doing this. I want to see people/do things but find an excuse why I cant. As you have witnessed with the Moo and Proms episode. I have come to realise that it is because I dont want to leave my little comfort zone. When I exhausted all excuses and "had" to go to the proms I had a great time. So I have set a new rule. If I first think "I want to" then I have to make it happen and overcome all of my barriers so to speak.
Try asking yourself do you really want to see them and so just making excuses because it seems too much like hard work/too difficult to face or are the reasons not to go really you giving yourself the permission to not want to see them.

*sorry*
Ok now I read it quick - but I thought 'no wonder they are offering free drinks if its a swing night' :eek::eek::eek:

Then I realised you meant music, nothing, um, more liberal

Now I can't stop doing this :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Ps posted a couple of whydontwefriday suggestions over the fence

Have to say that was my 1st reaction too! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

If you want to see the people and this is the best way to do it.... Go! If its not then fine but remember... Life is for living!

Cheery_Daff

Well, er, now you mention it, I did, er, once, er, have a bit of a (completely unfounded!) reputation for that type of malarkey

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

But this lot are of the no-sex-before-marriage persuasion, so I think this will just be for the music! :rotfl:

You are all right, of course, I really DO want to see the friends, I just like to have a tight control on my budget, and I also don't really do drinking a lot. But I DID go and budget for it! :rotfl: And they've booked in for a curry, and I don't have a free automatic place to stay, so it's perfectly reasonable of me to turn up, go for the curry and a little drink, then get the train home again. I think I might just do that

Not just my mucky mind then?:rotfl:

Good plan on the night out cheery and thank you for joining in with the numero uno why-dont-we-friday

Cheery_Daff

Ok going to say yes to night out :j I generally do quite well at the old living thing I just generally don't do very well with spending at least £20 on one night out :eek: with lots of people who earn the same wage as me theoretically but work full time when I do less than half time - and are occasionally inclined to forget that means I earn less than half the amount they do... So don't like getting into extended drinking sessions/nightclubs/nonsense But am going to get there at 7, get the train back at 10.24, and be back home before midnight having had a lovely curry, a few hours, and a nice catch up :T

Best trot and tidy up, someone's arriving in 5 mins! :eek:

That sounds a really good decision, Cheery, I hope you'll enjoy it now.

MrsMoo2U

I am sure that you will enjoy it. That sounds like a great compromise. When I don't want to spend too much money I drive and ask to be excused from the rounds for that reason. Most people know what I am up to but they pretend they don't.
