A very long week

Work is trying to kill me this week, Monday was Birmingham, Tuesday was Sheffield, yesterday was Newcastle and today was back to Birmingham (I live about 70 miles away from the nearest of those!) I have also done around 55 hours so far this week, none of which I get paid for and I can't claim time off, oh the joy!

Well the dating has been pretty quiet, I've been having lots of messages on POF but not from anyone I'd want to date.

The Salesman has been in touch again and we are going out to dinner on Monday, along with The Bestfriend, who he has moved in with after splitting up with the girlfriend, will be an interesting night I think, lots of catching up to be done!

Ok, the Space Cadet, well he's been just lovely this week, we've still not got plans to meet up again yet :-( but the messages have been lovely, his work keeps bringing him near mine when my work is taking me far away which is a little unfair if you ask me! I made a comment today that I thought he was a bit of a slapper and that I didn't think I was the only girl getting the lovely treatment from him, he replied asking how much time I thought he had on his hands, which to be fair I do get texts pretty much throughout the day and evening, I really hope he's as nice as he comes across and that he is indeed just taking things slowly, not stringing me along!

Sunday 27 March 2011

A first date or not a first date, that is the question!

Well it happened, finally some time with the Space Cadet that I didn't think would happen!

It didn't start well as I'd not got a text on Friday evening telling me to meet him at his work as it would be easier to look at the car there, so I arrived at his place to find no-one there! Eventually I got to his work and he looked at the issue with the car, it seems it's not fixable, it's only been into the dealer four times for this issue, he's taped it up in the meantime so it doesn't move!

I wondered if getting me to where he worked was a ploy so that we would travel separately and then both go home straight from Silverstone, it turned out it wasn't when he asked what car we were going in, I said mine as my fuel is paid for by work! Silverstone was cold so we only stayed a couple of hours, we watched his friends son race and spoke to her afterwards when we got to the yard he asked what I wanted to do and when I said I didn't mind he suggested we go back to his and then sort dinner from there.

I should add at this point that he is indeed ill, full of man flu!

So back to the flat that I've been to twice - neither time with him there! We had a couple of cups of tea while watching tv, lots of chat and eventually ordered an Indian Takeaway for dinner, it was so chilled out it was lovely, I'm not sure if it was too chilled out though, could it have been too friendly?

We get on so well, don't stop talking, share a twisted humour, unfortunately we are both a bit more shy in person than we are by text!

He had said earlier in the day that he needed to get some cold meds, so I suggested before 10 that he should go as they shut early, I offered to take him to save getting his car back out which I did, we got back to his and he said he would kiss me but he didn't want to give me his cold! I had to agree to be fair but I really don't think we have much luck, either that or it's not meant to happen!

He text on my way home saying he hoped I'd got home safely and I thanked him for a chilled day, apparantly my suggestion of putting some vodka in his beechams wasn't a good one and didn't taste nice!

He should have some Echinacea appearing on his doorstep in the next few days, my friend swears by it as a cure all!

Space Cadet is feeling ill - for a change!

Hmmm, I reckon the weekend is not going to happen, he has razorblade throat apparantly, as the saying goes if it looks too good to be true, it probably is?!

I think I may just have to give up, watch this space....................................

Weekly Update

Well it's been a busy week on the dating sites, I've had quite a few e-mails including some more from the guy from the village (who incidently looks better in his dating site pictures than he does in real life, I think they must be from a good few years ago!)

No-one that I think I'd like to date has arrived on the scene this week, I have had an interesting conversation with a friend though, it seems she's been internet dating too, I don't know her very well but has given us some interesting conversation!

Well I should probably explain Sunday a little more really, he wasn't feeling well, so said he didn't feel up to dinner but I could still take the car over for him to have a look at, I declined saying if he felt ill I didn't really want to get him out (I also hate being ill and avoid anyone that I think may make me ill, I even send my staff home if they appear to be carrying germs, I really don't do being ill well and don't have time for it!)

He said I could pop the car over in the week etc but to be honest I rarely get time by the time I get home, I told him I had a free weekend this weekend coming and he asked if I'd like to go and see his friends son racing at Silverstone, he know's I love cars and in fact anything fast so I have said yes, I did say that if the weathers not good what about dinner Saturday night and he said he thought that was a good idea, so we have a plan, will it happen? I think this is going to have to be last chance saloon and I'm going to have to back away if it doesn't happen this weekend!

A friend said last weekend that she was surprised I was bothering to give him a second chance which I do understand but I like him, that is about the size of it I'm afraid, who know's what tomorrow holds? Will the date ever happen? Won't it? Who knows but for now he has a knack of putting a massive smile on my face and I really can't knock that can I? (Apart from when I need to be serious and I have a cheshire cat grin on my face!)

Sunday 20 March 2011

Sunday

Well dinner is off, he's ill, brilliant, perfect, ace, over the bloody moon - not!!
Should I now be getting the hint? Despite dinner being his suggestion?!

Saturday 19 March 2011

Saturdays Update

Well the keep coming out of the woodwork on the dating sites, including a guy from my village that I have met a couple of times, he's e-mailed, I don't fancy him and he has four kids, I think I will be steering clear!!

It was ladies night last night and Stripper boy made his appearance, all I can say is that I'm glad I didn't go there, he was a total arrogant twat, it did make me chuckle though that he went home with the Psycho's ex-wife, teehee! Apparantly I'm being accused of having an affair with the husband of a friend (is that a word for someone that thinks your having an affair with their husband?) I have tackled her about it but she insists that there isn't a problem, it all stems from the fact that he sends me some jokes via text and she's been looking at his phone bill, oh the joy!

Well it's dinner with the space cadet tomorrow, I'm both nervous and excited, my beautiful car had a full valet today so it's ready for him to try fixing the deflector, had a lovely day with my good friend and running buddy, we had a gorgeous lunch and shopping trip and now for a night on the sofa to prepare myself for tomorrow, eeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!

Thursday 17 March 2011

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I had no intention of even picking the computer up but I couldn't help myself!

It's been a busy week both on the dating front and at home, sick relatives, friends going through things that I wish they didn't have to, work crap etc, etc.

I've had loads of e-mails from people on the dating sites, not many that I actually fancy dating mind, have chatted to a couple a little bit, ones that actually seem like I might want to go on a date with!

Had a lunch with a couple of clients yesterday, one of the asked me out for dinner, well you could say that I'm not interested because frankly I'm not but as he's a client to a degree I have to play along so a business lunch it will be (hey it all goes on the company card so I can't complain, I do reckon he could be a bit of a sleaze though)

Stripper boy text tonight asking if I was up for the 'proper date' I told him I had too much going on at the moment.

Anyway, awful few days, texting from the space cadet has continued, tonight I text saying I was in desperate need of cuddles, I had a response asking what time I was over at his tomorrow (I'm going for my second sports massage with his flat mate!) I asked if he was going to volunteer her for cuddles and the response I got was that he was asking 'as we could do dins and a cuddle' if I fancied, if I fancied? Did he have any idea how long I've waited for that?!

Dinner? You know what dinner means? Dinner is his idea of a date! Oh now here is the problem, tomorrow is the big ladies night that I have been planning for ages, we have a friend coming to do an Ann Summers party at our local and the stripper doing his thang, you should have seen my face, something I wanted given to me just when it wasn't possible, arghhhh!

Anyway, dinner is still happening :-) Either Saturday evening or Sunday when he is also going to have a look at the little problem with my car for me, we are actually going to have a proper date, I only have one word for it at the moment and it is eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
