Done in Jim! Didn't get home til after 3am and Mr Taz got up for work at half 6 which woke me. Managed to get back to sleep fpr an hour but still really tired!
And WHY was I out so late???
I was actually in bed, as usual, by 9pm watching tv and drifting off to sleep. At 10.25pm I was woken by my phone ringing. One of my very best friends was being assaulted by her (hopefully now ex) boyfriend on the other side of town. I was straight out of bed, got dressed and into the car. By the time we got there some passers by had seen him throw her onto the street and intervened, they had also called the police. He was arrested and we took her back to her place to wait for the police to come round and take a statement.
It was a very difficult night, she was very distressed as her dad had a heart attack and she is very worried about him too, so there were many tears last night! I'd called another friend who has a spare room as I wasn't happy to leave her on her own but by the time we came to leave at 3am she was a bit more grounded and just wanted to stay in her own surroundings. Reluctantly we left her in her flat but we are going back for her this morning so we can take her to her car (which is still there) and then we are going out for lunch.
So much for a relaxing day off!!!
