I had a happy new year, for a change. I've copied below from email I sent so I don't have to type it all out again and it hasn't copied exactly right, but still readable.
I had a great time with my friends, oh, I had such fun it made up for Christmas! We had this really nice meal on New Years Eve with wine and we must have got a bit merry because my friend's husband made this remark about wanting the biggest glass or something and then I kinda winked at my friend and said of course you know why men are so obbessed with size, don't you? We started laughing and talking about various sizes of..er..'manhood' and her husband piped up that he was still good at it even though he wasn't huge and I just said, 'save it for your wife, I don't want to know!' and she just went into hysterical laughter for about 20 minutes and couldn't breathe and I was laughing so much I nearly fell off my chair and her poor husband was just sitting there with this embarrassed grin on his face
For the rest of the evening, every time anyone said anything, my friend would just interpret it as a sex joke and start laughing her head off, it was so funny! We carried on drinking wine all night until midnight and then listened to the clock chime and the fireworks. This New Year's Day I ate cooked breakfast with them. Then I babysat their 3 sons so they could go to church, and we had a brunch afterwards.
Got back, spent part of my evening talking to a friend on the phone and drinking wine. I felt great!
Today I've been posting out orders (although not many as it's still a holiday here and everything is closed) and paying bills etc.
Andy sent me a text message this morning, saying what time he was collecting DD4, and I thought for a moment he must be ill as he hardly ever lets me know when he will arrive, and then complains when I'm not in. Perhaps he is trying to do things by the book now I've told him I want him to stay outside.
I didn't respond to the text message.
He arrived, no hello, but I didn't expect there to be so that's okay. DD4 put her shoes on, I asked him for my chocolates back (he had a tin of my chocolates at his house) and this French DVD that was DD4's which he borrowed and never returned. Now we are not going to hang out, I want all my things back. He said 'Oh yeah' in response to my request for the chocolates and said he didn't have the DVD with him but he'd return it on Friday when he returns DD4 (he's got her for a few days as it's new year). I said okay.
Said goodbye to DD4 and shut and locked the door. A few moments later there was a knock at the door and Andy was standing there. I opened the door again. He had my chocolates, as they'd been in his car. I took them, said thank you and closed the door again.
Now I am sitting here with a coffee and my chocolates - yummy yum!
