Here was me saying I would be posting a lot more in July with Dan being away and everything but I've probably posted less! I've been keeping myself so busy since he's been gone to prevent myself from missing him. On Sunday, I had a spare day just to do some shopping and washing etc- I had five minutes when I sat down and started watching a film and I have to say to myself, 'Get up and do something!' So I went for an hour power walk. Unexpected but the weather was lovely and my weight watchers leader will love it!
So this week, me and Soph went to a market research discussion group to talk about a well known local radio station and their advertising plans. We were there for an hour and a half to give our opinions and bagged ourselves £45! We ended up in Revolutions on Broad Street necking a jug of cocktail with her two guy mates.
Friday we had a sales day at work and I cleaned up. I'd pre sold a lot of digital products to our customers and won a TV, a sat nav, a £50 chrome toaster and a Wii!! Not to mention wine, chocolate, sherry, and £55 in Tesco vouchers!! I've sold the majority of things I won to put in my 'I-want-to-buy-something-shiny from-Tiffiny's-in-New-York' fund. It's got to be done!
So Dan is back is...wait for it...tomorrow! It's absolutely flown by. I can't wait to see him- I've almost forgotten what he looks like! He's back this Sunday but can't wait. Can't believe I've gone 30 days without him already! Like I said, we have some really nice stuff planned for when he's back so I'm looking forward to it very much.
To top things off, Sarah is back in the country in the next 2 days from Oz (and she's got Tim Tams!!!) and little fluff (my sister) is back from Turkey! Everyone's coming back- I'm not longer a loner!!!!

It's almost time!
So Dan is coming back to the UK next Sunday! I have to admit, the last few weeks have flown by. It feels like a long time since I've seen him but it doesn't seem like it's been a month. (Confusing? I thought so) Today has been three weeks since I've seen him and it will be four and half weeks when he comes back.
My weekends have been jam packed- I've literally not had 5 minutes to myself to think about missing him.
The first weekend I had a bit of pampering time and it was the Kenilworth Carnival which is always fun. The Sunday was a a cinema trip with Fowler and got a phone call in the middle of the film to say he had arrived in Bangkok.
The second weekend, Mum had her racing experience! That was amazing- mum showed off her driving skills in a posh lamborgini and ferarri! Then the Sunday, I had dinner with Dan's mum and sister and stayed over which was lovely.
Third weekend, I had a crazy night out with Fowler on Broad Street in Birmingham! It's been so long since we've been out on Broad Street and we're now usually the old' un's in a sea of what only look like 12 year olds. To think I used to be one of them...sigh. But we were surprised when we went into Walkabout (yes, you heard right) and there were some actually rather attractive men in there! My job for the night was spotter for Fowler who was scouring the place for potential boyfriend material. Cracking night apart from when I got ripped off by the taxi driver for a ride home...£25 for a 10 minute journey!
So this weekend, I'm off back to Leam to do some visiting which will be nice- then Dan is back the following weekend! We've got some really cool stuff planned when he's back. I've got my birthday present which is a theatre trip to see a Midsummer Night's Dream and we've got three, yes, three wedding receptions to go to. (Think back to the Hen Party weekend!) Then we will be booking our flights to New York!!
Exciting stuff! More to come soon x x

I'm starting to get a complex!
I'm starting to get a complex. It hit me today that not only has Dan left the country for a month but suspiciously a few others have as well. Let's examine the evidence...
Dan- Thailand for a month
Sarah (Hallas)- Australia for a month
Rach (one of my bezzies) Down south somewhere for a week
Soph (the flatmate) Down to Newquay for a week
Rachael (My sister) 2 weeks in Turkey from next week
My mum etc- Away for a week at the end of the month.
I'm not being funny but isn't this all sounding a bit strange?? It could just be a massive coincidence that it's July and everyone has their summer holidays in July but still. The month I need everyone to keep me busy with Dan being away and they all bugger off! My only saving grace is that my good friend Katie Fowler is still in the country and hasn't deserted me like the rest of them! We had lunch and went to the cinema on Saturday and were catching up next weekend for my birthday present. I still have no clues on what it is. To be honest, I don't think Fowler has. Hallas seems to have left for Australia without so much of a word to Fowler about what we're doing on that day! That's my lovely Hallas for you!
More to come soon! xx

First weekend without the Croc!
So Dan arrived safely in Bangkok yesterday after I got a phone call while in the cinema yesterday. I noticed a big flaw in my plans to keep busy the whole time Dan's away, is the fact that I'm more likely to miss his calls while I'm busy having my hair done or in the cinema. We had the most horrendous night on Friday night. Dan missed his connecting flight from Paris to London and as all his cards were blocked (from using them abroad) I had to use mine. All the flights were either sold out or ridiculously expensive and there was no way of getting him back in time to catch his flight to Thailand on the Saturday. We got him back in the end though after a lot of tears (me) and a lot of stress (me and him).
The first weekend without him has gone pretty smoothly. I was busy all day Saturday with the Kenilworth Carnival which I absolutely LOVE! It's like a day to celebrate being a member of my family as ALL of my dad's side of the family are involved in it. It was hot and a lot of money was raised for charity. The highlight had to be when me and my mum hijacked the car my brother was driving in the procession and we ended up waving and having our photographs taken by members of the public! We did get a few weird glances as if to say 'who are they?' but it was funny nonetheless!
Sunday, I spent most of the day with Fowler which was nice. We had lunch and then headed to Star City to watch Bridesmaids. Very funny film- I advise all to go and watch it. So all in all- it's not been a bad weekend.
The next week is going to drag though. Soph (my flatmate) is going away for a week and while it will be lovely to have a bit of time to myself, I'm concerned about the impact of everyone- leaving-me- at- once is going to have on me. Dan has obviously left, the last few days in the office last week, I was alone on my desk of about 12 people and now Soph is going away. I'm going to start getting a complex. Still, it's quite nice to think that I will get a bit of down time to chill out and watch films and stuff.
