WOW 4!!

Dubliner 1 of 2 and I have swapped phone numbers :)

There's still a chance we may meet up... tomorrow! However it does involve a detour of around 400 miles (for him), so it's probably only a slim chance. Fingers crossed!

Had an email of my second 'face to face'. This is the downside really. I sent him a 'thanks, but no thanks' the other day, but he wants to stay in touch... oh dear :(

A new Potential tonight... another Irish guy, from Wexford. He started off promising, but then launched into a big dialogue about how he's been badly treated in the past. I'm not a bloody agony aunt! Send me emails to make me laugh, or virtual roses... please!

Next week's 'face to face' is a funny one. I got an email with his phone number, to call and sort out details. Still no details about him at all, just a photo (not too bad) and a phone number. At least he's not building himself up to be something he's not (still can't think of a name for him!). Should be an interesting one!

Not too much other time to read through emails as my mum was here. Her opinion... go for the Dubliners. But then she always wanted me to marry Brian O'Driscoll!!

WOW 3!!

Ok, now there's talk of Dubliner 1 of 2 meeting up THIS WEEK. Long and complicated story, but there's a chance he's at least this side of the water, so he's suggested making a detour on his way home!!!

May or may not happen, but it would be so cool :)

I had another rose of Dubliner 2 of 2... maybe he's aiming for a dozen! And his email was beautiful (I guess at lunchtime he's sober, so it's easier to work out what he's saying).

My third 'face to face' on Friday has been moved to next Tuesday... so Dubliner 1 of 2 - I AM available for dates on Friday night (at the moment!)

I've another new Potential today. Last week this profile caught my eye. All he had done was put a coded message in his profile... I eventually worked out it was his email address (we're not allowed to put them on the site). So out of intrigue I emailed him.

He's emailed me back today, with talk of going for a meal... Should I tell HIM I'm now free on Friday?

Still getting daily emails off Sailor Boy too - one more week (I think) until he's on dry land.

Ooh, and to change the subject... I got a call of Gorgeous H!!! Luckily I missed his call, so he left a voice message. This means I can listen to him over and over again :)

btw... it was only to arrange our next lesson, but it doesn't matter - HE CALLED ME!

Flowers

WOW 1!! I've had roses off Dubliner 2 of 2 - Seriously... he's sent me roses :)

Ok, it was a picture of a beautiful bouquet, in an email! But all the same. If I put my nose right up against the screen I'm sure I can smell them!

Cheesy... maybe, but for making me feel special, thank you :)

WOW 2!! Dubliner 1 of 2 wasn't joking when he said he wanted to meet me. Talk of him coming over in August (I must remember to tell him that's when my birthday is)

Sorted out details for my third 'face to face' (Potential with no name) this Friday, and emailed back the 'out of the blue' local too. Who else was there... oh, a paramedic from Bath - he's new (I may need him soon... if I get any more roses I think I'll faint!)

So a fab fab day all in all. Spent oodles of money on equipment for hobby, then joined my beloved family for some food... in fact the only meal I had today, but so worth the wait. They roped me into babysitting for a few hours - I guess it's the least I could do, after all the free meals/unending patience they provide!

I considered roping my niece into being my PA, until I remembered she's as ditzy as me, so it would be a disaster. She'd only end up firing off marriage proposal emails to my rejected Potentials... I kid you not!!

Thanks... but no thanks!

Mr Dependable/Implusive... No, I don't want to browse around bookshops, and no, I don't want to browse around guitar shops! On a sunny Saturday afternoon I want to sit outside a bar and have a nice glass of wine!!

Another 'thanks, but no thanks' email is being composed. I'm going to have to have another look at my profile. In the 'What do you do for fun' bit, I'm pretty sure there's no mention of bookshops or guitar shops!

4 hours of getting ready... not totally wasted as I did have a good time at the BBQ with the real people after the 'face to face'.

I've got another possible 'face to face' I'm considering on Friday (guy with no name as yet!), and another out of the blue email from a new local, but to be honest I'm thinking of moving to Dublin - it seems like that's where the fun is. Although as Dubliner 2 of 2 is probably half way across the channel at the moment I'll hang on a bit (he must have a Blackberry, as I got another late night sweet email!)

Full on day planned today... a mix of my new hobby and my beloved family - so not much time to spend searching for Mr (Virtual) Right.

4 hours to go

Ok, ok... I'll admit I did have a couple of drinks, but unlike last week I don't feel like the living death. Fab night - bumped into an old friend too... bonus!

Anyway, back to the subject in hand... My second 'face to face'. I need to start getting ready!

I'm looking through all my lotions and potions for the miracle face mask! I've got ones that firm, ones that deep cleanse, ones that 'promote radiance', vitamin recovery ones(eh?), pore minimising ones... the list is endless. Why, why, why isn't there ONE that does it all.

But I NEED to deep cleanse, firm, minimise my pores AND 'promote radiance' (I'm happy to skip the vitamin recovery one). So I've looked at all the instructions, and worked out it's going to take about 75 minutes to use them all! Can I mix them all together... that'll work, surely?

Ooh - you know my rule... don't email when drunk. It's OK, don't panic - I didn't. But Dubliner 2 of 2 did! 03:17am in fact! When I finally deciphered what he was trying to tell me, it was touchingly beautiful (not sure, but I think he may be swimming his way over at this exact moment!)

More off Sailor Boy, and Dubliner 1 of 2 :)

But back to today... all plans are in place. Sis... don't forget the call. I've got a cool backup today too - BBQ with real people later, so Mr Dependable/Implusive - you've only got 2 hours to impress, right!!
