It's gonna be a long one!

Let me start with last Thursday evening, collected Marlo, Jim and Sister at 6.30pm, had a really good night at St.Georges hall, Ruth was the youngest person there by far and when she bought a programme the guy asked her if she had enough pocket money.
Well it was Mothers birthday treat but i think we all enjoyed it equally!

We lost Jimbo in the interval, he was in a different bar and had also bought a round of drinks, so we were drinking like bastards in the intermission.........oh well!

Called at spoons on the way home, Mother was loving it, whispering "we should come out more often.............just girls though".

Dropped parents off home and got in and ironed cardigan and packed for Newcastle........why aye man!

Friday, felt rough as fuck.....a few shandies on a school night and i'm done in.......
Got a wriggle on chucked bag in car boot, along with Dawn's chocolates and Champagne and enough Buxton mineral water to sink a ship.

Collected AP at 11.30am........drove down the drive and there was Gill P in her pyjamas waving frantically mouthing "have a good time", Andy (face like thunder) looked a tad embarrassed........
Next stop, Sarah 3 bellies, who was READY!! Andy had got in the back of the car like an Asian wife, so Sarah climbs in the front and pipes up "Morning Nick, oh it's not Nick, sorry Andy i wondered where his hair had gone"........
That's right Sarah, tell him his bald after not even recognising him!

Collected Nicky Mac (enough said) and hit the A19, pleasant journey, games of things beginning the alphabet and double names in alphabetical order, followed by much guffawing about the lesbian.........contraceptive? face masks!!!

Arrived at 2pm, had a brew, me and Sarah nipped to shop (slack arse hadn't even bought Dawn a card), got bac, worried about leaving Ap with 2 complete strangers, what were they doing? stood in the kitchen, drinking 8% home brew beer that looked like tar!


2 hours later, they'd dumped Ethan on the grandparents, we'd had a sandwich, got ready and polished off several beers and a toast to Dawn's 40th with Sainsburys bucks fizz,
Andy came down dressed suitably (thank fuck he didn't have his party pants on).
So we set off at a march to the Metro station, got into Newcastle met up with Dawns pals and threw a beer down our necks until our connecting train into Durham arrived...........Gabe told the 8 of us to get on without paying (as he did it all the time).
Marched to wetherspoons, had a pint, marched to another pub........ditto! Marched to the restaurant, (bloody 6' odd mates, taking it in their stride) had a lovely tai meal, 5 of us got the banquet...........note to self, never ever have tai green curry again, as it is one hot mother fucker!
Had a great night, me and Gabe kept sneaking off to fag it......... paid the bill, £25 each including beer and wine............bargain!
Set off at a fucking sprint back to the metro station, my feet were on fire, Andy's dragging me by the hand.....up 100 steps in my best going out boots!
Back on the train, again without paying!

Met some of Dawns mates in a dark dingy drugs den type bar, had a pint, then went to The Bridge pub, had another 3 pints and sat round on bar stools, all drunk and jolly! Ap being all pished and attentive!
Metro home (Nick tried to get Andy to scrap with 2 teenagers who were smoking in the next carriage........he's a lover not a fighter), fell through the door........threw boots off and put Gabes slippers on, plonked on sofa and started to fire more beer down our necks, listening to mad c.d's, Sarah and Dawn went to bed (GIRLS), we laughed about Simon and Dawns wedding back in 1999, Gabe then appeared wearing his Kilt and Sporran, jigging about like a pissed up bastard. I laughed so hard my sides hurt...........Andy was scared and went to bed, me Nick and Gabe stayed up a while...... crept into bed in the early hours, Woke Ap by stumbling about like a pissed up twat!

Saturday!!
I made Sarah, Dawn, me and Nick bacon butties, Gabe was dead to the world, Andy wasn't shifting from under the quilt either!
Dragged him out of bed, threw him in back of car, Sarah and i clambered in the front! Left Nick in Newcastle as he and Gabe AND Dawn thought we'd all gone for the weekend, but forgot to mention it on the invite!
Ejits! Andy slept all the way home, Sarah and i gassed like a couple of old fishwives, dropped her off at Leeds train station at 11.55am (poor Sarah the seasoned traveler).

Woke Andy and threw him out at home, Gill P still stood at the door in her P.J's waving at No.1 son and his old bag bird..........
Went to Carpet cuts and bought new floor covering to be fitted on Weds.
Home let cats out, unpacked, flew to Marlene's got £80 brother owed me........needed for beer that evening as i'd spent the last of my cash on lino!
Home, collapsed into bed and slept soundly till 5.30pm.

Awake, checked blower, 3 miss calls Andy, Txt from 2 brothers, 1 from Katy F and 1 from Kay, have you heard from Steven he's text me! "have you ever left like you've made the biggest mistake of your life?".
Andy didn't want to play out that night, he was fucked after rugby and had been sick (all the spicy tai food, not the 17 pints of lager guzzled the previous evening).
David needed some jeans, Martyn wanted to talk about keyboard adaptors and Katy wanted me to pick her up at 6.30pm, in a cab (now that i could do!).

Let gay boy know i was going out boozing even if he wasn't and was at the club at 6.40pm, Ruth was there, something to do with work, Spug, Rach and Dean with daughter....
Parents departed soon after, Ruth left after 15 bottles of Bud.
Okay night , 4 shandies and girly chats at club, cabs onto spoons, met Tina and Beth hooray!!! Hayley and James arrived, a couple in there and up to the old house at home, 2 more in there, it was rammed! gave Katy the last of my fags as she was off to meet her Man in the regal.
Just for the record, people being arsey with me for now being "loved up",just because i wasn't out last weekend has nothing to do with Andy, i would have gone to the fireworks party AND the wedding AND Newcastle with or without him, plus i seem to recall you all being at my house the weekend before last...........so geddof me back!
Grabbed a pizza i was hank marvin and couldn't face another pint, asleep before Midnight!

Sunday......the busiest Sunday this year........was up at 10am, dressed and drove over to Focus DIY in Castleford where i had £153 credit, bought 60 litre stainless steel bin, new 6' Xmas tree (£59.99), 3 seagrass storage boxes, solid pine cabinet and loo brush...........for nowt! yippee, called at Freeport and bought 2 pairs of boots from Next ( a brown pair for work and black for going out, both pairs for £48 Bargain!!!).

Home, chores galore,had bacon butty for energy! then watered plants, filled bird feeders, washed 2 loads of clothes, towels, bedding, rugs, put clean bedding on, mopped kitchen floor, ripped up carpet in hall, vacced living room, sewed up hem on trousers, chucked away old storage boxes and put new ones in place, threw away old xmas tree (purchased 11 yrs ago in Derby when Sam was Carrying Molly). Put old bin, basin and draining board rack in carboot to take to work............
Phoned Andy who was in boozer with Woz and Deano.
He offered to erect new cabinet for me, i don't know how i've managed without him for the last 15 years..............tee hee!).
Ate warmed up pizza from Saturday night, watched EE omnibus on tape after finally sitting down at 7.30pm, dead on my feet, up to bed at 10........watched t.v,read last 4 chapters of my book, out like a light at midnight!

Having a nice day today, email from Steven traveling blows, i'm managing to stay 10 days, coming home, see you all VERY soon!".
