Taxi's, dates, motorbikes and working! Need more hours!
Wednesday 5th September – work, Taxi!, dates & motorbikes!
Tried to get up early and failed miserably… friend had texted to say he was upset about last night so in the end (because texts just simply AREN’T the best way to explain something!) we spoke on the phone and clarified things… completely. It was a relief and at the end of the chat we both felt MUCH better.
I went to work early again (just not AS early) and was so tired that all I managed to do was make a few phone calls, sort out a couple of enquiries and do a bit of typing! In the end I brought a huge box home to do – which I shall start on tomorrow morning (first thing!).
Today, this morning, I was shocked to receive ANOTHER card from Blueeyes!!! He never learns! It said Hi and asked about UB40 and weigh in and said hoped I have good time in Brum! Went on and on (again) about wanting to be friends with me, sorry he was a jerk, shouldn’t have behaved the way he did, now realises that all he wants are friend but he told that to a nice lady and she blanked him…said again and again how he wants US to be friends… all I could think was “CHANGE THE RECORD!!!”
I wasn’t sure what to do, so, after several hours deliberation I sent him a message to msn.. it was very clear. I told him I had got his card and that he clearly STILL was not listening to me and I had told him categorically that we could NOT be friends. I told him to NEVER contact me again by any format and that this was the last communication I would send to him too! I am cross because I already won’t answer my phone in case it’s him, and I vet my mobile calls and now he’s flippin in the damn post box!!
If , now I have made my position crystal clear (which, I might add, I DID way back when!!)… IF he starts this phone call nonsense and cards stuff again, then I shall give him 1 warning and then report him for harassment!
More messages from the dating site… couple of potentials… one fairly interesting.. only 40 years old but seems ok… the other not my normal ‘type’ (if I even have one!!)… but very interesting… lots older though… 52… hmm… one extreme to t’other!! Will let you know on both! Lol
Am so incredibly tired today and had such a list of things ‘to do’ and listed with timings (now I think I’ll just call them guidelines!)… managed to do some of them and then gave up as it was time , once more, to take Zoe back to Hatfield.
We had a great time in the car on the way and she looked through the stacks of photos that I’d had developed from all those fun cameras! Lol Some were YEARS old! She remembered them all (school trips) and was really glad I’d got them done at last!
We sang and car-danced as we normally do, I told her about the dating stuff… she is always so straight forward and matter-of-fact about it all. Lol
Once I’d dropped her off it was the drive back.. however, this time I had a slight detour to make… a spontaneous ‘ice-breaker’ at Baldock Services.. lol He was nice and we got on ok.. I’m not going to rave about him as I did Blueeyes … learnt from that ! lol So, let’s just say, it was worth being late to the motorbike club and I’m looking forward to talking to him in the morning (he asked if he could call me).
I have another ‘ice-breaker’ planned for tomorrow afternoon… only allocated an hour to that one… he’s the 40 yr old… not sure about him (huge footy fan) but thought it worth meeting just to see… and … afternoon means limited time and I still get the evening to myself and to pack and get in an early night before my much awaited weekend in Brum! I am SO ready for that and can’t wait to see my friends again!
Went to the motorbike club and had a great time – there’s a run next week out to Towcester or Roade and one of the guys (will call him ‘Fitman’ as he is!) offered to let me go pillion on his bike… so.. very much looking forward to that! Spent most of the time at the club chatting to some even newer members than me – lovely couple. They have a daughter called Zoe too! PLUS, their 2 eldest are the same ages as my girls.. so we had a bit in common from the offski!
Had other offers of bikes to ride on back of and thanked all – nice to have choices! The run after this one is the week following the National Rally up in Filey… they’re going to a diner! Not sure what plan I’ll be on by then – think it will be 790.. so will probably ring ahead and ask them to prepare something especially suitable for me., and if they won’t /can’t I shall take my own!
There’s a quiz and fish and chip supper in October… so I told them.. I can do the quiz but will bring my own version of fish and chips (probably tuna and roasted veggies ).. so I get to eat too but not their full fat & carb version.
I love the club… it really is a great atmosphere… oh… they raised over £10,000 on the Bank Holiday! An elderly chap gave an anonymous donation of £8k!!! How fantastic is that!!! She said the cakes went down a storm and I had won a lovely candle in the raffle – perfect for me – I adore candles!!
Got home around 11pm and had more messages to go through so did that, saw the chap I’d met at the services online and exchanged a few words with him.. and the one I’m meeting tomorrow afternoon too… now though.. it really IS time for my bed!
Tomorrow is another day with a heavy workload to face but you know what… I’ve SS’d today and will do again tomorrow and I have the work ready to do.. so will just plough into it and get as much done as I can in the time available… now my diary is almost where I want it to be, as long as I keep on top of it, I shall have time to say about the emotional side of life in the last few weeks.. there is so much!
So, Paul is waiting for me and I have my jimmy’s on and I’m ready! Lol
Oooh, forgot to say… VERY briefly nipped into town today…(after work had to go to bank and pay in work-related cheques)… and couldn’t resist the charity shops… bought a skirt (Which I think is too short but will look at every now and again).. and a top! Skirt only £3.99, top £1 !!
Still undecided as to what to wear Saturday night in Brum for the girly dancing sesh! Hmm… will have to pack LARGE case so lots of options and get me mates in to help me decide (you know who you are! Lol). Started listening to me 70’s & 80’s music again to help get me in the mood! It seems a long way off but in reality it’s 2 sleeps (including this one!).. lol
Right… off I go! Hurrah for diaries and getting this off one’s chesticles!!
