Born Sad

Friday night we were meant to be going to the fantastic-sounding Born Bad night at Brighton's Komedia. Ellie came down from London and we started drinking too early, so blew Joy etc out in favour of what we thought was going to be a quiet night at the pub and an early night. Only it didn't happen that way. After 11 hours of drinking, we, at 3am, staggered home having spent the night consuming a mixture of beer, wine, vodka and gin, and ended up in some seedy dive in Hove. To sum up the state we were in, the two men we were "fighting off" at the end of the evening wore tracksuits, and one was the other man's carer. But oh it was fun-especially the dancing around to Chaka Khan bit before I threw up. Sadie was staying the night at her best friends' place, so I somehow thought it appropriate to revert back to my days of debauchery.
So this my friends will explain my lack of entries- I have been recently catapulted into a world of nausea, but I'm just about coming round. Well- everyone else had that vomiting bug so I felt a bit left out.....
Last week before this was a great week as my stories went down a treat at Sadie's school and I've been asked back for their Book Week. I also got a day's proofreading work which was rather fun- I do like my corrections. Plus I got to read all sorts of interesting police case files which made the proofing that more interesting.
Andy has been away skiing and got back yesterday after a 24 hour delay on his flight. We've been busy catching up while Sadie has been in school today. He helped me with my tax returns and I made him a jacket potato. Ah coupledom. It's great when you appreciate it once more.

Glad you're back! This reminds me of Rag-week and every Thursday night in Uni. Although to my recollection I never got cornered by Lou and Andy but there were most possibly some real oddities. I have big gaps in my memory from that time luckily!

Also thanks for reminding me about my tax return - I'd completely forgotten. Bollocks! I hate doing money stuff - gives me a headache just thinking about it.
A day outof my life just to show Gordon Brown that, pathetically, I didn't earn enough (again) to pay tax.

Oh hello again... hope you got your tax returns sorted. i know what you mean- i am very embarrassed to fill in the forms- I've hardly made a penny again. I even phoned the man at HM Revenue and asked if there was really any point me filling in the forms at all... Unfortunately the git said yes there was...
