I'm here

So stop mithering me!

Its been a busy week and there's a lot been going on so hold onto your hats and here we go:

Went to see Andrew in Dewsbury on Thursday last week. I'd been thinking about him and wanted to see him so I got a train over there and spend a bit more than 2 hours in his company smumming it round Dewsbury - honestly, Cleck would have been busier.

Friday, worked, went home. Andrew wasn't sure if he was coming on Friday or Saturday so I had a nap knowing he'd ring before he set off so I had chance to tidy, next thing I know his face appears in my window - he'd come and decided to surprise me - he did and the flat was a mess! Stayed in and played scrabble and then Andrew was getting a bit itchy (having been forced to endure an hour of QI) so he quickly went to the casino with a couple of quid. Then he returned with a tenner and so I went back with him to the casino only for us to end up home a couple of hours later a hundred quid better off. Money for Andrew's visa!!

Saturday - up late, we both got some photos - me for my passport, Andrew for his visa. Went to the cinema to see Serenity, had some drinks on Canal St, had a McDonalds, went to the casino and didn't do much - I think Andrew lost a tenner or so.

Sunday - up late again. Andrew lost all his money at the casino and he was quite down and realised that he wasn't going to America. He wasn't good and said that he didn't think he'd be very welcome back at his Dad's as he'd left on Friday without saying where he was going (and he'd had a row with him on the phone in the casino on Friday night). I said he could stay with me but it was temporary, that he had to live by my rules, no casinos in the week, early to bed, nop answering the phone, had to get a job PDQ. etc. All seemed OK. Stayed out at the pub all night and had a really nice time.

Monday - up at 6 so Andrew could get to Bradofrd in time for his interview in Bradford. He got the job. He had my keys so I returned home half expecting to be robbed but I wasn't. He was just arriving home when I was - he'd been to see his mum. Went out for a couple and had a nice evening and not too early to bed.

Tuesday - working from home and my landlady was coming at 6pm to inspect so did lots of cleaning in time for her arrival. Got lots of work done and went off to a meeting at Manchester Met Uni at 1.30. Got back 3 hours later and I'd not been robbed - again - yippee!! Landlady didn't arrive so after waiting for her for an hour we went out and had a nice evening.

Yesterday - had a training course in Liverpool so was away all day and then met up with Alastair. Had a nice long chat about me and Andrew, my cousin, Karen, him and his ex, him and his fiancée etc. He made me feel much more positive about me and Andrew as I was a bit worried that this whole living together thing, although temporary was a bad idea. Got home at 9pm and Andrew had ironed all my clothes - 10 shirts, 6 pairs of trousers! Good boy! Had stew, dupmlings, peas and mash and it was lovely and then went to bed after Lost.

He's a nice boy. He's not robbed me. So far so good. I hope it works out.
