Hello again, as you can see I'm home (not alone coz I'm living with the olds!) on a Saturday night. Unfortunately, I can't be with Ria because she's out clubbing the night away and plus she works at weekends. So I guess it's just me, my laptop and the tv tonight!
But anyway, moving on... I had a busy birthday (Tuesday) where I had to get up reeeally early to put my motorbike into the garage for it to be checked over, luckily for me nothing was wrong with it so I only had to pay for the chain to be tightened - yes I know I could probably tighten it myself (I used to years ago) but in my old age I've kinda got lazy...ok so I've always been lazy but that's me, right?! Then, I went to the gym...yes the gym on my birthday and then later that day I had to make an appearance at the jobcentre to sign on and I can actually say that I was being honest as I've really been looking for a job! Afterwards, I picked Ria up from the local train station and we came home and I got to open my card and present from her... I got a really sweet 'To My Girlfriend' card along with a new 'Animal' wallet (not a purse! hee hee) and a pair of spiderman boxer-shorts (they never do comic book heroes etc for women's underwear) and a creme egg of course.
I also opened my other birthday cards from my family at the same time (I waited all day long) and received some well-needed cash and I was thinking I might put it towards a service for my car but then thought it was way too boring so I'm thinking more of buying a new suit as I'm in desperate need of one! But geeze... I'm having such a hard time finding a decent suit to fit me coz I'm quite broad shouldered but around my waist I'm up to one or two sizes smaller so it's a right pain in the butt!
But getting back to my birthday celebrations we (me, Ria, mum, dad, Sara, Laura and Toby) went out to Chiquito's and stuffed ourselves silly - rather yummy!
Wednesday arrived and as it was such a nice day I asked if Ria wanted to have a ride on the back of my motorbike, so I took her for a little ride up and down the motorway to see if she liked it...needless to say she did! Unfortunately, my leathers were a little too big for her and she ended up looking like michelin man, bless her!
Thursday, Ria was supposed to go home but as per usual we try and prolong our time together so we decided that on the Friday I would take her back by car in time for her lecture, do a little shopping and then go back to hers and stay for the night. So that's what we did and then today I dropped her off at work and made my way home...the route is pretty easy and it takes me about an hour and three quarters door-to-door (possibly a little over the speed limit!) so it's not too bad.
So, what have I got planned for this week? Well, tomorrow I'm planning on going to the gym as I've not been since my birthday and maybe even do a little shopping to look for a suit. If I don't get to the gym then there's always Monday and also it's daddy's birthday so Happy Birthday Papa Smurf! Tuesday morning, I am otherwise engaged as I have my first job interview in years... so we'll see how that goes. To be honest, I'm not too bothered whether I get it or not as I only really wanted a temporary job and was even hoping for part-time ... the job I'm going for is quite well paid but unfortunately a bit further down the road and permanent too.
But anyways, enough from me. Be good x
