A second date

So, New Potential (Local) wants to see me again! I've had a text, and an email off him to say he had a lovely evening, and can we meet up later this week! How cool is that?

Usual problem with time though... I've discovered today it's so not good to play what amounts to two full rounds of golf in the blistering heat with a raging hangover!! Lord, I'm so dehydrated I can't even cry!

He wants to meet Friday evening, but I've booked myself in for 3 rounds next weekend, so this is going to require some very careful planning!

I'm tempted to meet him somewhere I have to drive to, thereby limiting my drinking options.

I've tried to wangle my youngest niece in to being my PA, but she's like a mini me... so absolutely the worst person to pick to organise my life! It took her hours to work out my birthday present list (Honey... four presents, four guys. Simple)

I've had time this evening to catch up on the flurry of winks and emails from yesterday. I'm fairly undecided about them all at the moment... apart from a guy in Coventry who looks interesting, so I've emailed him back.

And I've had the time to properly read Dubliner 2 of 2 (with wine cellar)'s long email that almost made me late last night. He's just one rose away from a dozen now. Again, a fab email :)

Yes, Cute from Devon... it would be nice to meet you. Is mid September OK?

Oh, and Bruv... I've worked out I can actually eat 231 mini weetabix or 268 mini oatibix completely guilt free, with the amount of exercise I've done today! I know mum thinks we're both idiots, but sometimes I just *need* to know these trivial things!

With that in mind, a glass of wine now won't hurt... surely?

Result!

OK... mega mega hangover! That can only mean one thing right?

I had a good time :)

Rushed like hell to get ready, although I blame Dubliner 2 of 2 (with wine cellar) for that... I got an email off him about ten minutes before I was due to go, and his words always stop me in my tracks!! So my last minute panic about what to wear disappeared very quickly.

So, he didn't seem to mind that I'd dragged him to the loudest place in town, and as between us we polished off two bottles of red he gets a thumbs in in my book.

Am I seeing him again? Of course! This online dating thing really works :)

I still haven't had time to go through the other new Potentials, and as it's Bruv's birthay today I'm going to be pushed to have time! Maybe later!

Happy Birthday Bruv... I'd bake you a cake, but you'd probably recoil. See you on the course - with your lovely bag ;)

Famous last words

what was it I wrote yesterday??

That's right - Unless of course, I get a date...

And I have!!

My email box was positively bursting this morning. SIX emails off new people (I seriously haven't got time to run through them all yet), and continued 'Mutual Contact' from Cute from Devon (who's nursing a hangover), the New Potential (Local), plus of course the Dubliners.

So New Potential (Local) wants to go for a drink tonight!!! OMG, I'm never going to get ready in time!

Quite funny really, he asked me to pick where to go. anywhere as long as it's not too loud. Ummm... remember the council have set up the festival in my garden... the whole of town is currently blaring, and will be ALL NIGHT!!! I think they're also draining the electricity from the Internet, as this connection is decidely ropey!

So I've picked the bar that's:
a) closest to me
and
b) pretty much closest to the noise!

I've still managed to wangle tea with my beloved family - but get this... I did provide food for them lunchtime. I did, honestly... a fab lunch of ham sandwiches :)

Ok... I've got a manicure to do, hair to try and tame, and probably 14 outfits to try on before I exasperataly decide I've got NOTHING to wear!

Ooh, and Cute from Devon to email back, while he's on a roll with words!

Fingers crossed for this 'face to face'

fuzzy head ramblings

Once again apologies for not keeping this up to date. The problem is, my real social life keeps interfering with my online social life! Feel free to give me a stern telling off.

My detox is now completely dead and buried. Poker night at mine last night has resulted in my body being back up to normal tox levels!

OK, where are we with potentials:

Dubliner 1 of 2 - change of plan, and not coming over here this weekend :( However I will see him just after my birthday. I had a sweet cheeky email off him this morning, and he's calling later!

Dubliner 2 of 2 (with wine cellar) - more fab emails. I've got to say his are definitely the best ones - always long not "how was your day"! He's sorting out dates for coming over - now this one I can't wait to meet. If he really is the same in real life as he is in virtual life I want his babies (OK, not his babies, but definitely his wine cellar)

Potential from Donegal - sent me a ridiculously funny story the other night. Made me laugh! He's away for the weekend, so wanted to let me know he's not going to be ignoring me. Very thoughtful... If I don't hear from someone for a couple of days I generally forget about them anyway. There's only so much room in my head for potentials!

Cute from Devon - I wasn't sure about him was I (I get quickly bored of one sentence emails... it's hard work to find the inspiration to reply). Well, today he's been different. He asked for my pic, which I duly sent... then he emailed back to say I was a babe (and put seven more sentences in his email)!

So he's back on the books!

New Potential (Local). In my bleary eyed state this morning I could just about read this one. He "seems nice (tm) ", so I emailed him back. He's thinking of a day date, playing a round of golf, and some red wine (after... I don't think you're allowed to drink on the course!)

Now, the council have kindly set up a festival for me in my front garden, so I've a weekend of music and funfairs planned (with some scary golf thrown in). I'm hoping for some delicious grub from my beloved family too... Bruv, if your reading this, yes I do want to come over, any mealtime will do!

Unless of course, I get a date...

Changing plans (again!)

Change of plan 1 - Gorgeous H needed to rearrange my golf lesson. The weather forecast for the evening wasn't so good. Thank you Gorgeous H... my hair gets ruined in the rain. Am I destined to be a fair weather golfer?

Change of plan 2 - Food with my beloved family (I'm so glad you've come to your senses and stopped going away). I was going to go tomorrow, but if the weather is good I may well be in the company of Gorgeous H! As usual it was a beautiful meal - the quality of their food always amazes me!

Change of plan 3 - the detox is out the window. I blame my Sysadmin Honey. He kindly pointed out the money I've saved by not being able to make calls at the weekend (due to my phone's culture change), so as I've spent the last two nights dreaming of wine cellars, I decided enough is enough. To my right is a beautiful glass of Cab Sav. Again, thank you Sysadmin Honey :)

Quick update on potentials:

Dubliner 1 of 2 - called last night - sweet call :)

Dubliner 2 of 2 (with wine cellar) - fab email in the middle of the night. He's not a man of routine, which I like - his emails are never ever predictable, and never ever boring!

Potential from Bristol - emailed this morning. Wants to meet this weekend.

Potential from Donegal - emailed this morning, with another pic!

Cute from Devon - emailed this morning. He is so so sweet looking, but his emails are mostly one liners... so hard to respond to with enthusiasm.

Dubliner (possibly 3) - emailed to see if I want his picture. Of course I do!!!

Now tomorrow I've my business lunch with consultant guy! This one is seriously work related, but hey... he's fun, and *has* got a convertible jag :)
