Hello stranger, long time no see!

Well hello there, its been like, forever since I last blogged, ha well actually since last august i believe. Guess I've been too busy living to actually put fingers to keyboard and write my thoughts and randoms down on this blog. I wish I was more motivated to do it. I read some amazing blogs and the attention to detail and effort they put in is so inspiring, but yet i don't add the same tender loving care to my own blog. Add to the fact I can't access my blog at work (boo hiss) and I totally forget to update it when i get home and get distracted by other things.

Hey ho!

So alot has happened, to a certain degree. I got a new job back at the end of august, not my ideal job i hasten to add, but it pays the bills, is a secure admin role in a huge education company in cambridge and keeps me off the streets for now. I'm still looking for my dream job in marketing and comms, but as the job market is such a nightmare at the moment i'm happy to just have a job period. So watch this space in the future months to see how i get on job hunting. *Sigh*. Its all i seem to have done these past 2 years! lol

After starting my new job i went to a lovely wedding in october in scotland, i went by train (don't ask) with a 'friend' (file in the 'not so friendly list of friends' box) and it was the journey home from hell. I wont go into detail, its too yawnsome to give energy to, but suffice to say thats the last time you get me on a frigging train to scotland! As much as i loved Dornoch, the scottish people (SO friendly - i heart the scots) and the wedding, it was just a royale mess travelling there and back. I did it as a favour for my not so happy non frequent flyer friend, and went with her on the train. She wont be travelling with me again, EVER.

Ok scary rant over! LOL. Of course christmas was after that and that was fun, a bit of family tension and drama at times, but you know, it wouldn't be christmas without a little drama eh!
Due to my ikkle neice being ill over xmas, i took my sisters husbands place at a wedding in london, was a fabulous wedding, free bar, moat on tap all day, so obviously i was slightly merry, and oggled up northern actor William Ash, who currently stars in Waterloo Road, shame his fiancee was there too, bummer!

Since about christmas I have been in random communication with a boy. Yes, a real one, not the one in my head ha ha. I 'met' him on match.com a few years back, he seemed cute, but too young, and also a bit of a douchebag by my standards. I told him to eff off and thought that would be the last i would hear of him. Ha, well it appears not. He 'stalked' me on msn for a few years, trying to get me to meet him, i told him to take a hike. But then over christmas, feeling bored and over the christmas festivities and slightly lost of ones fizz, he asked me out again. This time I said yes.

So we met up last week (finally after alot of talk on the phone and sorry cant do that week ' im washing my hair' ha ha not) and it went really well. Well i stayed for two hours talking to him, which in my dating how to book is practically two thumbs up and lets look at wedding venues. Ha ha i kid i kid.
No normally my dates are non existent, because i either cancel, take one look at them and say im either double booked, feeling unwell or just have to go to the toilet,.....and never come back,.....!!!
Hideously awful and cringe worthy i know, poor guys, but tbh i would rather just skeedaddle then have to sit awkwardly with them for 30 minutes to an hour, or less, whatever, just making small talk when i know instantly that i dont fancy them and that its not gonna happen.
Sounds cruel i know, and i have been cruel at times, and rather blonde too, when i went to the toilet during one date and texted my mum to say 'hes nice but a bit dull' and accidentley sent the text to the date,......ahh, oops!!

But this date went really well. I was super surprised. He was cute to boot (and normally they never look like their photos - or they use really old ones when they had hair and now they dont) and actually had something interesting, charming and funny to say. Not full of himself like i was expecting him to be. I was quite the smitten kitten! He is 8 years younger than me, which isnt a huge deal, but im just living in the moment and having some fun, its cool to be dating again and just enjoying it all, and we will be seeing each other again soon i hope. He seems quite keen and as am I, so I shall update my blog with news when i have it, watch this space!!
