Well i might be anyway, you will probably just get a glimse of my hand or horrors of horrors my bum!!!!!
If you watch telly at all, you will have noticed that Stars in theirs eyes is coming back on. My old district manager auditioned for the program and got through to a show. As you may know, they always record a bit about you in your home town or your place of work. My old DM decided it would be a really good idea to have it filmed at my shop lol. My boss, another member of staff and myself were working that day, so we got to see them film it. I basically tried to hide out the way, cause my uniform is horrible and not very flattering, but there may be a slight glimse of me at some point. hee hee. The last time i thought i would be on telly, is when i sang on the TV prog "My Kind of People". I was there singing " I will always love you" with a old man on a bontempi organ for my backing. It really was the most shocking thing and im soooo glad it was never shown.
Anyway about today. I met up with my ex for lunch. It was really nice. I was running late due to the buses, so i text him to say for him to order. He never texted back so i assumed he hadnt got it. I finally got there at 1.20pm and he had got my text and ordered and paid for the meals. I had the choice of beef stew or a beef dinner. I chose the beef dinner, and then we had apple pie and custard for desert. I was really nice to catch up and we had a good chat and laugh about various stuff. Which included the rather funny true story about him being the compare for the local beauty pagent and i finally got the gossip out of him about his new girlfriend. They have been together since last march and get on really well. Im really glad that he as finally grown up and can cope with not being a divvy bloke lol. We really are so much better as friends and i realised how much i had missed meeting up with him. It was nearly three years ago since we dated and for the last year we hadnt seen that much of eachother. I think the way you can be around someone after not seeing them for ages really shows how good the friendship is. There are some friends who i havnt spent alot of time with over the last year and sometimes the conversation can be really hard going. He is one of those friends who it seems like id only last saw him the day before. He finally headed back to work about 3pm and i headed off to the shops.
I had to take back a disposable camera that wasnt working, and then it was time for a bit of serious shopping. First of all i went into "The Works". Its a fantastic shop where you can get books and art stuff really cheap. I ended up buying some paints etc and a couple of books. One was called " The weekend decorator" and the other one was called " The Culture book". They should have cost £23 and i got them for £7 so a huge bargain.
I then was on a mission to buy a new winter coat, some new underwear and a pair of black trousers for work. Amazingly i got all three, plus two more pairs of trousers and a new top. Unfortunatly only the top and two pairs of trousers were in the sale. The rest i had to pay full price for. My mom really hates my coat. She says its like something you either get from a charity shop or something that your granny wears. I love it though and ive been trying to get one like it for ages. I also needed to buy a new scarf to match the coat as the ones i already have at home wouldnt match. I managed to get that in the sale also though, so that was good.
I finally got home about 5pm and have just pottered about on the computer, ate a chinese ( sweet & sour chicken cantonise style and egg fried rice with a side order of prawn toast ) YUM. While i was eating the chinese i watched a movie from work. Its not out till monday but we are allowed to rent them as soon as they are added onto the system. It was called "The Identity". Absolutly fantastic. On the box it said it had a alternative ending but i couldnt find it. There was the cinema version and the uncut version, but they both seemed to have the same ending, so im not sure what was going on. I also watched " Fat Friends" which dad had taped for me last night as i was at work till 1am doing a retail inventory.
Anyway that should be enough for you to read through. Tomorrow i have an exciting day of ironing and helping dad with the weekly shop and then in the evening im off to the cinema with Jonathan and Wendy.
