2009 Update

Hello. I am alive. So as you can pretty much tell - I jumped ship on my blog. This was for various reasons really, I thought people would have become bored of reading about tiles, parquet and taps which was pretty much my life for about a year and also I felt kind of, not guilty but a little bit guilty having this blog and Loco not knowing anything about it ... and now ..

I still have that weird guilt thing going on but as I occasionally check my emails and see that there are people who still read this and write me stuff I though what the hell, and decided to pop by and give an update on my mundane existence :P

So, Loco and I moved into the beautifully decorated love nest last Autumn after nearly everything was finished to my satisfaction. We had many many more "disgustos" (unpleasant surprises) with regards to the builders and everything but I won't go into that.. trust me.. it's dull. And the neighbours still hate me but who gives a toss about that, a couple of awkward silences in the lift each month - I can take it.

No rings, no proposals, instead I get whingeing about how there's no cash to buy a ring but appear a brand new plasma tv, an imac, a camera, a PS3 etcetcetc. I'm not even going to go there

What else - oh! I bumped into Mr C a couple of weeks ago - when I say bump I mean I was wandering around the reception of the local health center looking confused and disheveled when I heard my name being called. I turned around and it was him. Years of living around the corner from him and the day I am looking like absolute shite I bump into him - sod's law. He told me he'd often thought about calling me but his gf had made him delete all girl's phone numbers from his phone. He is still living with mummy and daddy, having recently broken up with his long term gf who didn't want to become a baby machine within 3 months of meeting him either. He is now on the hunt to find another vessel for his future children and insisted we swapped numbers so that we could meet for coffee - I told him it wasn't one of his best ideas and he had to agree. He also felt the need to inform me several times the reasons for our breakup - mainly because I didn't have any clear ideas about my future. Whatever. While we were conversing I fretted about my one of suegra's cronies seeing me and reporting back about how I been seen talking to a boy who wasn't Loco so when I got home I confessed all only to be given the Spanish Inquisition - where does he live? who are his parents? what's his name? how old is he? etcetctec. Um. Hello? This is a guy I dated 4 years ago for about a week.

Anyway, that's it for now.
