29 and Feelin Fine!

Today is my 29th birthday. Yes that's correct readers, I only have 1 more year of stupidity before I have to start thinking about growing up.

I did a similar post on my birthday some time ago about things I wanted to achieve in the year, needless to say I haven't learnt to drive or lost the maximum amount of weight that I could ever lose without being classed as an ill person or any of the other things I was so keen on achieving.

This year I don't see the point in setting goals and not achieving them, that's not to say that having goals is a bad thing but I feel like I get pressured into thinking I should be achieving these things, when in actual fact, I just don't want to fucking do them.

Everyone keeps telling me I should learn to drive. I am the most annoyingly terrified passenger you will ever meet. Literally I grab hold of the door at the slightest twinge of a break pad. I am terrible at sitting in a car. So everyone keeps saying I should learn to drive one?! Me, the most uncoordinated person in history. I took a couple of lessons and I can honestly say I hated driving almost as much as I hate being driven. I'm sick of being told that I should learn, that there is no freedom like knowing you can just get in your car and drive away. Where will your freedom get you when you are being cut out of some tin can car after a lorry decides you've had your time in this world? Shove you freedom up your arse and I'll take the train!

So this year I guess my only goal should be to have a back bone and tell people that it is my life and they cannot keep telling me what I should be doing with it, that if "they were me" they could do what they want but they are not me, so they can back off.

On the dating front I met someone on a train two weeks ago, it turns out he lives in the same town as me and we ducked of the train and into a nearby pub for an impromptu date. It was massive amounts of fun, we even had a cheeky snog at the end of the night.

He is lovely looking and our flirty text banter is keeping me very well entertained. Just one snag, we haven't actually made it out on a second date yet. When Gal Single utters the words "well I am busy on Tuesday and Wednesday, oh and Thursday and Friday" you know she really is burning the candle at both ends.

He's made noises about going out on Saturday for a cinema date so I'll keep you updated and will detail the whole meeting if there is something to tell on Sunday.

Until next time
Love

Angel of god my guardian dear
To whom gods love commits me here
Ever this day be at my side
To light and guard
To rule and guide

Sleep tight Hen x

Sister singles dating disaster

My little sister has recently become single and has had a couple of promising dates, and one not so much!

Sister single met James in a bar on a girls night out, he was gorgeous and she was drunk.

They arranged to meet in the same bar the next day. Sister single wore jeans and a blazer (standard date outfit)

They settled down with a beer and a rosé and started chatting.

Talk soon turned to how log they had been single and past relationships and James, who worked on a farm, referred to himself in the third person, this is always a bad sign.

He then went on a rant about how he hates women who get drunk, why he took her to a bar I'll never know!

But the main problem with the date was the fact that he'd been sectioned, this in itself is not something you might necessarily think is a fair reason not to see someone after all mental health issues are very common. However this is something that you shouldn't necessarily go into detail about in a date.

The reason for his issues is that his alcoholic fiancé passed away, very sad but that is enough to make a girl run a mile! He should have left the details out for a while, it's a very delicate issue.

Sister single's face said it all and he knew he wouldn't see her again, but in a horrible way I am glad it's not just me that had bad dates!

Sister single and I are going to have a girls night out soon and see where the night takes us.


Until next time
Love
