Good/Bad

Secret Lemonade Drinker, 25 April, 2008 at 09:59 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 76

Bit of Friday diversion before I have to do some work....

Good
* Unexpectedly went to a poetry do last night and got offered a profile spot for next month!?
* Met one of my all-time favourite performers last night too, we were chatting at the bar![8D]
* Have an evening of drinks with lovely work buds planned?
* Have a funky lunch thing with rugby mates tomorrow?
* Have a date with a gorgeous, gorgeous boy tomorrow night?
* Have a lunch AND arts event with gorgeous boy planned for Sunday and I might be brave and use one of their open spots, eek.[8D]
* It's payday!

Bad
* The poster of Troilus and Cressida at Tower Gateway this morning scared me and nearly made me fall down the escalator!

And that's it - NO OTHER BAD!? My finger hurts a bit but the sympathy I am getting FAAAR outweighs the pain!?

    It's friday (I'm glad about that, before anyone asks).
    I'm spending the weekend with the most gorgeous dog in the world. Ever.

    Bad

    Knee is still sore so no running.
    QPR are playing away and I'm not going.

    I think that's about it. I must say, I do like your good/bad threads Secret. What a fab idea.

    G&T nearly killed me last night by lurking ninja-style outside the bathroom and scaring the life out of me when I came out.

    Good:

    Weekend of total gluttony ahead, starting with lazy take-away porn food tonight, progressing to the Real Food Festival tomorrow, and our local farmers market on sunday. Bliss.

    Bad:

    The flat is now covered in scaffolding and will be for the next 6 months. Plus stupid riggers decided it would be easier to rip the flower brackets off the wall, than to use a simple screwdriver, or simply move their pole an inch to the left. Cunts.

    Have got a nice weekend planned involving gardening and running with no pressures
    Had a nice meal last night with MrSC
    MrSC is in a very good mood after his job offer yesterday (as am I!)
    Might be going to see my friend after work if she hasn't sprogged yet - haven't seen her or her little girl for ages and I miss them
    There doesn't seem to be any panic buying in Brum as yet so I should be able to fill up my car with no trouble
    Planning for Birmingham meet seems to be going well so hopefully in a couple of weeks I will get to meet some lovely Brummie hitchers ?


    Bad
    Nice meal out (mexican) has given me a bit of a dodgy tum.
    Have got to get a new tyre for my car and would rather not till I find out if it passes its MOT.
    My jeans were too tight last night even before the big meal, have been eating too much cr@p and not running for too long.

    Not too much bad actually, I might have to touch some wood ?

    * Week to go to a lovely fun weekend with friends
    * I may be going out tonight (fingers crossed)
    * K has finally got the hang of telling real jokes, which are funny, rather than made up ones
    * We had a lazy morning messing about in my bed, cuddling and jumping on my bed which was fun
    * My money situation is better than when I was working, which is odd but I'm not complaining, thank god I listened to Mum when I was younger and saved quite a bit

    Bad
    * I'm missing a good friend who has gone to Falklands for 4 months, she is one of my sidekicks/partners in crime
    * A friend is having trouble with her OH(who is a complete twat) and I wish she could see what he's doing to her, well she does see, I wish she had the strength and courage to do something about it.

    That's about it really.

    It's Friday, and today we finish at 4.45pm
    I did a faster 4.5K run before work this morn.
    I am losing weight and people are commenting.
    I get to watch H compete for his black belt tomorrow (I have never seen him assessed for a belt)
    If he gets it, we will go out for a fab celebratory dinner.
    I am mincing about in my fab new wedges.
    My team have pledged to sponser me for R4L
    I *think* I am halfway there to persuading H that I need to be taken to Capri for a birthday treat!

    Bad

    H has been unwell since our return from Rome, and that may impact upon his performance at said grading on Saturday.

    I have to have a coloncoscopy(sp) on Monday[xx(]

    ? Its my monthly mums' night out tonight and I get to drink lots of wine at the pub. ?
    ? I didn't gain weight this week, which means weightloss from being poorly last week has stayed off.
    ?The builders are finishing off our extension. They should be gone sometime next week.
    ? The extension is massive. We'll have so much more space.

    [B)] I have a cough
