The Bitch is back!

My goodness it has been a while!


Since the autumn of last year I have been embarking on an exciting new chapter professionally. Its not been easy but there is light at the end of the tunnel and hopefully an opportunity for growth.


My company was taken over by a much larger company and following the merger I was transferred to a new office with a new team. I didn't even have one person at my level before and now I have five colleagues which is very different.


I also sit in an open plan space which has been a complete eye opener. I have realised that I like my own quiet space, although I can put up with open plan arrangements I would far rather be in a corner somewhere where no one speaks!


This is very similar to how dating has left me feeling recently. I have been on a few dates but none of them really made me feel it was worth giving up my personal alone time for.


Gascoigne and I went out last night for her sisters 50th birthday, and Reg (G's other half) was giving me some drunken love life advice, but he also said he's never seen me looking more relaxed or happy, which I think is a really lovely compliment.


Little sister single is currently travelling around India, I'm not the travelling type but I would love to go away on holiday soon. I've been looking at singles holidays and although I thought I would never be the type to embark on something like this I have started to consider it differently. After all my twenties are for living and as of the 25th March I will have one year of my twenties left. In 2015 I will be a flirty thirty and might have to grow up.


I am going to try to write a list of all the things I was to achieve in that year, it wont be long or unattainable but things that I want to experience, and I am going to do them.


So as for the dates my most recent was with a guy I met in a club on sister singles birthday. A few weeks later we met up in the afternoon and had a couple of drinks in the pub. He is 25 (a toyboy!) and from Europe. Here is a gal single fact...I have never dated someone who wasn't from Ireland or England and I have never dated anyone of a different colour (I'm white)


I am not even sure why this is it's just the way it worked out. The language barrier between me and my date, lets call him Jake, was very funny at times. One evening, instead of goodnight, he told me to have a sweet night. But on the date I found myself doing that horrible British thing of speaking loudly and slowly thinking he may understand better. Similarly at one point he just said "you don't understand me" and I had to admit that my nodding and smiling was all fake and I didn't have a fucking clue what he was on about.


He was very sweet though and held my hand a little on the date which felt very old school. He gave me a peck on the cheek after he walked me to my station and we have been texting since.


I think he's got all the potential to be a fling but I am not sure I have the energy to be flung!


The ex who broke my heart has been in touch, it's like he has a radar for when I am happy. A friend encouraged me to delete his number so I wouldn't be able to contact him again, pointless I said because I know his number like I know my pin number and nothing has ever stopped me using a cash point when I am drunk, she said it was symbolic or something so when I deleted his number, all of a sudden, he was texting me.


He said he was thinking about me blah blah. I sense there might be trouble in paradise with his new woman. Whatever it is it's nothing to do with me anymore but it does annoy me that he only uses me when he wants something. Then again I suppose most of us do that at some point.


My friend Southern Comfort is having her daughter's (my little Princesses) first birthday party on the 15th of Feb and I have been put in charge of party bags, I am so excited, the great thing about your friends having kids is that you can do all the cool stuff and then give them back!


So that's brought you up to speed on a few things. I hope to be writing my blog on a much more regular basis now work has finally settled down.


Until next time


Love
