What a weekend

Madly busy but good weekend. Got home from Leicester around 5.20pm and Tash and I then went out for our Red Letter Day. We’d booked a hotel in the Cotswolds, Lower Slaughter, which was your 100% picture postcard location of a Cotswold village, it was lovely. The hotel was great, really nice room and we opened a bottle of bubbly and had a fantastic meal. The food was excellent

Had an odd phone call around 11.30pm from someone called Gracie which caused a bit of friction, no idea who the fuck that was or how they had my number, very odd.

Next day, lovely breakfast, good quality again, went for a quick walk around the village and made our way home. Pottered around during the day and then in the evening Victoria picked us and the Carrolls up for a night out over in Bicester. So we were there from about 6.45pm in this famous Highfield club of theirs. It was nice to be fair and I liked it, very cheap as well, a pint was £2.50!!

The Inflatables were playing and they were as good as usual and it was a great evening, Ted and Kay were there as well and we all got very drunk indeed. Don’t remember too much else other than Liam having a real go at me about missing out on a round in the car journey home. It was incredible and has obviously been gnawing away at him for some time as he was saying it wasn’t just last night but for the last 15 years and everyone else thinks the same etc etc. I stuck up for myself and we almost came to blows outside his house. All very unsavoury indeed.

Next morning he called and didn’t back down and wanted to meet in Sainsbury to discuss what he’d said, I said No, I had other plans and to be honest there was nothing to discuss. I just took his comments and said to move on, I could have destroyed him if I’d wanted to because when it comes to spending money I think I’d rather be known as being tight than be in his situation. But each to their own! I was quite surprised as Tash appeared to be on my side for once. Didn’t expect support from her, usually I am always in the wrong!

The rest of the day was a bit of a nothing day, the hangover kicked in and I struggled until after lunchtime. Ben and his kids turned up as planned around 4.00pm, Ruth didn’t come, not really a surprise, but his kids were lovely. Emily is the youngest and was so happy, but Jorge and Helena are growing up well too. They stayed for about 90 minutes which was good to catch up with them and Ben has lots going on, he’s doing well for himself.

Caught up with Silent Witness episodes in the evening and an early night as early start tomorrow for both of us. I have an early train to Birmingham to catch from Bicester and Sue’s going in for her operation which Tash is picking her up at 7.00am

It’s going to be a tough few weeks now with Sue being immobilised as a result of the op!

P.S. Forgot to mention…no football for me or Jack because of waterlogged pitches yet again
