    Oh, I wasn't suggesting that...I was more suggesting you ask him how good he is at taking hints. Then you can plan a strategy accordingly.

    I need to see and speak to him for that - I mean how dare he not be around at the weekend while I've been bored as there were no customers.

    In debt busting news I've done one mystery shop today, although while I was in the shopping centre I spent £20 on some odd bits of food for dinner and a couple of photo frames which were on sale, now I just need to choose the piccys I want in them and put the on the wall. Planning to have these in my bedroom as while I was slightly tipsy and not able to sleep due to my bed feeling as though it was mobile I couldnt find anything to focus on thanks to my lack of anything personal on the walls.

    I've also just taken a screwdriver to the lid of my aquarium to remove and clean the light cover and check what bulb is in it to replace it with a natural light one, of course while googling for the light bulb prices I've been looking at cylindrical tanks as I miss having an aquarium in my bedroom, always used to find it really relaxing with the water bubbling away when I had one in the past but the ex veto'd the idea, so am thinking replace the bedside table from "his"side of my bed with a tank and stand when I have enough in gift vouchers to buy one.

    Think today was relatively successful I did none of the things I planned to but got a good nights sleep, and then went in to town with my friend for lunch and a visit to Argos to return a TV and buy a replacement, while we were there I bought a new watch as my dive watch is too big for everyday wear and my dressy watches wouldnt be allowed at work, it cost me a grand total of 28p as the rest I paid using gift vouchers. :)

    Work was as always much fun, spent alot of the day helping to train new staff, saw the target of my crush at a distance, he was in eating but managed to sneak in and out while I was busy in the other part of the cafe, it would be so much easier if he was in on his own occasionally rather than always with a friend as I'd be able to actually go talk to him without making an utter idiot of myself with an audience.

    Why do you think you're going to make an idiot of yourself? Just get in there and keep saying hello. Perhaps it will be his friend who will translate the hints for the clueless.

    You just need a friend to say to him: "Yes she will, now stop hinting and start talking."

    You two are bullying me ;)

    I shall hope that I see him over the weekend as I'm going to be back in my normal environment where sightings are much less frequent.

    Spent alot of today recovering slightly from last nights drinking (not as much as normal) and lack of sleep as my friend and I decided that we should probably go to sleep around 5am! Had to take him back home this morning before I went to do my mystery shop, after that I went in to Guildford with my friend to drop her ring off for resizing.

    Nothing achieved today either in money saving or dealing with the lovely one (since I didn't see a single customer all day what with the doors being locked and all).

    Am about to cook dinner, iron my uniforms, and then think I'm going to treat myself to a bath and a book before I get an early night as I'm on the opening shift in the morning.

    Right...so why were the doors locked?

    The doors were locked because we were restocking, and finishing the cleaning, the cafe was open as usual which is where I've been working over the last week or so.

    Had dinner and a shower rather than a bath as I forgot I'd turned off the water heater, uniform is part ironed, had to come back downstairs to get my trousers and havent quite made it back up off the sofa yet but I have dried my hair as the hair dryer is down here.
