Weekend in brief (I have a lot of work to do today)

Thursday
 Went out with Andrew and Janet from work. I think they got on but Andrew was convinced there was some friction. It was only because they have nothing (other than me) in common.
 Went to Churchills but the karaoke wasn’t working.
 Andrew went off so Jan and I could talk and then returned an hour later because he was bored.
 Jan then went home and me and Andrew stayed out and got a bit drunk.

Friday Very busy at work.
 Left at 5pm and went home to find that Andrew had cooked dinner. A strange combination of mince, ham, peas and carrots all in white sauce with melted cheese on the top. Anyway it was very nice and I thought it was very sweet since he can’t cook.
 Looking forward to a quiet night in, I napped from 6 -7 and was looking forward to a whole evening of telly and nothing else. I think Andrew was a bit bored but then since he has no job, he would be!
 Jan rung up at 9.15. She and Dan were out; did we want to join them? I passed on the message to Andrew, he said yes, surprisingly!
 Met them in Churchills, then went to the City Road Inn because Janet was keen to sing and karaoke’s thin on the ground on Friday. I sang too.
 Then we went to the Retro Bar and met up with Dave T but he was chatting someone up so we went back to Churchills and had a nice time.
 Andrew decided he wanted to go clubbing so we went to Cruz 101. Spent a fun hour there.
 Ended up going to the casino for some reason. Can’t have spent too much money as I don’t remember it so perhaps it was one of those times where we went in with £2 and stayed an hour.
 Anyway, when we went in there was a massive cat fight, hand fulls of hair, blood, torn clothes and hoops being pulled out of ears to the sound of one of the protagonists mates shrieking “Tracy, think of the baby you’re having”! Classic. They ended up spending a night in the cells but I could have watched it all night.
 Stayed up another hour chatting so we didn’t get to bed till half past four – another late night – I am convinced Andrew is a vampire!!

Saturday Got up at 12.45, pottered around till Andrew got up a couple of hours later.
 Wandered into town, did a bit of shopping bought some DVDs.
 Had a pint in town, went home and watched DVDs and played cards all night – bed at 2.30 after a very quiet day.

Sunday Up at 11.00, tidied, cleaned and showered. Woke Andrew at 1.30. Watched a bit of telly and played a bit of cards.
 Went to buy Andrew some black hair dye (don’t ask!) and then we went to Pizza Hut.
 Had a golden stuffed crust with half meat feast and mushroom and half chicken feast and mushroom. I had nachos to start and Andrew had cheesy wraps.
 Came home, dyed Andrew’s hair – new job, new start, new hair!
 Watched Corrie, had an amusing conversation with my brother as he was drunk.
 Went out. We’d agreed to go to the casino as Andrew was starting his job on Monday and its illegal for him to go into casinos when he’s an employee of one so this was his last ever day! Anyway things didn’t go too well. Let’s just leave it there but I will say, when I enter a casino, I assume I will lose everything I gamble: Andrew assumes he will win which makes him a very dangerous gambler and far to keen to take inappropriate risks and gamble too much. I thought I was addicted to alcohol until I met Andrew and saw what addiction really is.
 Had a few drinks on Canal Street.
 Went home, had warmed up pizza, watched the League of Gentlemen film (don’t buy it, its rubbish) and played scrabble and I won.
 Went to bed, had a nice time, fell asleep and snored so I slept on the sofa as I didn’t want Andrew to be too tired for his first day at work. Back in the bed tonight though!

10 weeks to Xmas – can’t wait – Yippee!!!
