You're sprawled across the patio table?! The mind boggles!!

Mainly I'm using it and the text books as a pillow......although occasionally my head is straying on to the lappy keyboard as it has done now.

I didn't get stood up, which made a very pleasant change, and as it's been a lovely evening we spent a very nice evening sat in the beer garden of a local pub, one slightly difficult moment when one of the girls who works in the office of the company I work for came over for a chat, as she knows my mate from when her dad was one of his instructors many years ago but thankfully shes not one to put two and two together and come up with five or even twentytwo, since she knows that most of my mates are male.

Happy new month...So far I've had to pay the council tax out of my own bank account as I've been tidying up at home and have put my joint account card away somewhere.

Had a friend come to visit last night, resulted in far too much tea and coffee being consumed and then going to bed too late so getting up for work this morning was hellish - on the other hand waking my mate up to send him home was funny, and almost made it worthwhile since hes even less of a morning person than I am, but leaving work this evening I said something in the wrong order which made it sound like I'd slept with him which I didn't even realise until I was away from work so my lesson for today is that tiredness = slip of the tongue = embarrassment tomorrow.

Oh dear scubaangel!! Hope you get that all straightened out hehe!!

Not really, lol, thought I had then started talking diving with one of the guys who wasnt working last night, the two I spoke to last night walked in as I said something about having a 'thing' for rubber and rope.....so erm yeah, I think in future I need to just not speak when I'm signing the keys back in before I totally incriminate myself!

In actual money related news I have done far too much overtime but know it'll be worth it when I'm paid next month. One more shift to survive at work and I can relax for 24 hours away from the place!

Wow this weekend was busy in terms of the hours but so incredibly quiet in terms of the customer numbers....

So glad when I left work yesterday afternoon, got home did some light housework then had some friends round for a drink, and today went in to town to do some shopping, £60 odd later I have a new hoody (Spongebob yellow), a couple of tops with built in bras, some cropped cardi's for on holiday and some random bits for the house to replace stuff that's worn out. Lunch was a mystery shop so that at least was a freebie.

Taking one of the girls for lunch tomorrow before I go to work (another mystery shop) as shes off home to the north tomorrow afternoon - it will be quite odd being out with her and not drinking til we're singing and falling over!

Did the drinking til I was singing and falling over thing last night....

Went on a mate date with one of the guys from work, I knew it was going to end in drunkeness when instead of buying two glasses of wine for with dinner he bought us a bottle each! Watched Snow White and the Huntsman after dinner then moved on to one of the high street pubs with karaoke, and cheap sambucca. Got the last train home (and while we were waiting saw a steam train passing through which in our slightly less than sober state was highly amusing). Back at the house being sensible people obviously we went and fell straight in to the beds and slept, rather than opening a box of wine and crusing youtube for videos to gross each other out until it was almost daylight again.

I'm really gonna miss him when he leaves to go back to work in Germany next month but until then we've decided to set a 'date night' once a week to repeat the fun.

In money news I'm ever closer to hitting the magic SB's number so I can claim the £100 to paypal along with getting ever closer in a couple of survey sites.

F**k f**k f**k.....bad news happens on days when I work stupidly long hours just to make me even more cheerful.

On the upside drunk cute customer was trying to chat me up at the end of the night, "assisted" by his equally drunk mates- I now have three sections of three different phone numbers as none of them could remember a complete one so reeled off the first digits of the cute guys, middle digits of the married guy and the end of the female friend's number (which I know as I already have her number from various nights out, lol).

And more overtime booked.


AAAAND I have finally hit the magic number on swagbucks and redeemed for £100 cash to paypal.

With some relief I looked at my phone at 7am this morning to see a message telling me I didnt need to work the overtime this morning, allowing me to get a couple of extra hours of sleep to reduce the zombie feeling!

I really don't do well when I don't know what's going on.....and right now I really really don't know whats going on!

I know I don't have the money for the things I want to do - possibly even go so far as to say the things I need to do for the sake of my own sanity. But I now don't have the time to find the money, so as long as I have tomorrow evening to sort things out its time to call the bank's of mummy and daddy in the hope that they can help me out then at some point in the next 48 hours have at least one more very very difficult conversation the outcome of which is going to be horrid either way.
