Peaks and Troughs
Peaks as in Peak District and troughs as in huge fooking hole in back garden.
Thursday evening, i was absolutely dead on my feet, was nearly asleep on the couch when Andy turned up in his cricket whites, had a nice evening, chatted, watched the box, drank squash and put on a live sex show for the whole of Vine Street. Bed v. early after fake tanning as it's the summer and the skirts are now out of the wardrobe.
Friday i had a quick disco kip after i'd called for a sunbed, Gabe, Dawn and Ethan called and got me out of the shower, we all had cups of tea and chatted a while, so i was still in my p.j's with wet hair when AP turned up at 7.15pm to go boozing.
Saw my guests out and got ready in double quick time, we walked into town and had a quick bevy in spoons, then sat with Katie, Caroline, Debbie and Clare in the Comi, Ruth, Hayley, James, Tina, Jo and Beth arrived and we all had quite a good laugh, soon realised that the couple we nipped into town for ,would probably turn into 6 or 7 pints.............oh well.
My supposed friends started taking the piss out of me and Andy for holding hands, but i know they are just jealous. We called in the Old house at home for the last pint, then got a cab up home, had some kettle chips, got jiggy and slept till 8am.
Saturday Andy promised to start building my patio, i heard him padding around in his boxers at 8ish, realised it must've been raining as he snook back under the quilt, we both got up at 9.30am, by 11.30am................between us we have managed to re-create a bombsite in my back garden.........huge hole that doesn't resemble the foundations of a patio whatsoever, a huge mound of soil slung over the fence, sand laid in the hole (Meg thinks this is her own private litter tray) and Mud every fooking where............all over the grass, the path, up the staircase (cats paws and the bottom of my tracksuit bottoms) and right through the living room. We ran out of sand and AP nipped home and borrowed 4 bags off his Dad and one split in the car boot, oh yes between us the patio project was complete pandemonium!
I fell into the bath and left him still digging in the rain as he'd measured the hole wrong, he shuffled off home pleased as punch the cricket was off and i collected Gabe and Dawn at 12.30pm, made good time and arrived in Buxton at 2ish, dumped our bags, gave Rhi her pressies and the 3 of us went off to the local pub for a bar meal, had a brill afternoon, had pie, chips, peas and gravy 1/2 bottle of rioja and watched the FA cup final.............outstanding!
Wiggled back to the party at 5, the house was filling up nicely, Mad Charlotte was there with her ginger Liverpuddlian mate (didn't take to her, she was well gobby and an avid footie fan), Jim and Helen from Belfast, Jake and Kate, Martin (how many ex shags?), Mike and Rachel, Hoi-Shing and Catherine, some other randoms i didn't know, but the wine and bush were flowing, outstanding buffet, filled my face again at night, 2 plates full of tuna niscoise salad, quiche, salmon, cold meats, nachos, cheese parcels and desserts to die for, it was the dogs bollocks!!!
The only downfall of the evening was the tragic story of their missing kitten that had fallen between 2 houses, the firemen had tried 4 hours to get her out and failed so they left her to die as she slowly starved to death over a few days............i actually cried.
So anyway, several glasses of the old vino later, i'd turned into the resident comedian and was latching onto anyone who would listen to my amusing anecdotes, some poor girl from Bath who didn't know anyone, had me trailing round after her all night as i felt sorry for her, funnily enough she wasn't impressed with me later on and she confided in me about her webbed feet............note to self............Do Not yell "urghhhh" when people with feet impairments take there shoes off to show you their conjoined toes!
Oh my god we were all SO pissed, Gabe collapsed unconscious at 11pm, fully clothed on top of the bed, i'd demolished 2 bottles of red and had now started on a bottle of white...........a change is as good as a rest!!!???!
Time 1am, hours drinking 10!
I'm now sat with General practitioner Catherine, who is giving me and in-depth talk through of sections, natural births and how her and Hoi needed a persona kit to catch on.
In turn I'm telling her how pissed i was the time i broke into my own house, by smashing the door panel, calling 999, ringing Jim and the drunkest joiner in the world who came to save the day!
She's laughing that hard her jaw is aching and asking if i rented myself out for parties.
Polished off the last of the white wine, most people had sloped off to bed, the hard core stoners stayed up till 3am, i last till 20 to 2. What a night!!!!
Sunday, awoke in Thirza's bed, felt fab and was up with the larks 10am.
People at breakfast totalling 13, i mean where would normal people put 11 house guests?
I had 2 Cappuccinos made by Chris, waityed for Mike to rise and move his car and off we set homeward bound, Me and Dawn gassed like little old ladies and Simon slept all the way home in the back of the car.
Back in Clecksville at 1.15pm, spent the afternoon, washing......... Myself, clothes, rugs, towels etc, watched EE omnibus, napped on sofa, had egg in an egg cup and soldiers and sulked as Andy had not phoned to see if i'd had a nice time.
Matt phoned as he'd had a day with his folks and we arranged to meet for Sunday shandies like the good old days, yippee! met for 1 in that cattle market called spoons at 7pm, then opted for the Commercial £2.50 a pint as opposed to the £1.69 Obediah Brooke as the peace and quiet was worth the extra £4.05 each for the 5 pints we sipped.
Andy txt to say he felf like shit, so i txt back to say i'd had a lovely time thanks for asking. Grrr!
Had a lovely night anyway, Matt went off to Huddersfield and i cabbed up home, emptied the washer and the tumble dryer, took a glass of vino up to bed and was in slumberland at midnight!
Am on fine form today, had 2 sorry, guilty txts from AP and a phone call saying him and his "DAD" are coming up tomorrow night to finish the patio..................Love him!
