September 2nd, 2007 My Birthday 22nd August

I had some holidays left to take so i had the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday off work, also being the bank holiday weekend it meant i was off until the following Tuesday, so i had a really nice break. On the Tuesday my friends at work had put £50 in a card, which i wasn’t expecting, i wanted to cry. Maureen and Sheila also got me chocolates and a litre bottle of vodka and cards :)

I went to town on the Wednesday to see what i could buy with the money, it was a nice sunny day, but i couldn’t make my mind up. I’d wanted some diamante hoops, and a cardigan, i wanted a long sleeved one for the cooler nights to wear with my tops but i didn’t find any i liked. I got my hoops and a cropped cardigan to wear with the mint coloured top i was going to be wearing to go out the next night from my favourite shop, Jane Norman. While i was looking around i had a chat with my sister about coming over to go out with us, it was the first time since the break-up of my marriage, so i was happy we were getting back on friendly terms again. Then he texted me happy birthday my darling wife from your husband hamada i was so angry and it made me feel sick all over again, i sent him a message back, then called and told him in no uncertain terms was i his wife or he my husband, but he’s so ignorant and arrogant of me, i was so angry i was shaking after. It took a while but eventually i calmed down, my brother goes mad with me for responding, i try not to but sometimes i find it difficult.

On Thursday we had my night out, my sister Ruth came over about 7.30 we had a drink and finished getting ready, then got a taxi, i’d arranged to meet Maureen and Sheila from work, my friend Ann and her friend Sheila in the New York bar in Allerton road. They were getting there about 8pm but i knew we’d be later because Ruth was working and had to travel, my friend Jean from work arrived just after us, i didn’t know she was coming, i’d texted her but she didn’t reply, so that was a nice surprise. We had a couple of drinks in the New York then went over the road to another bar, they had a singer on, it was very expensive in there, we had a nice night and everyone enjoyed themselves, and i was happy everyone mixed. The girls from work left us about 12, because they had to get up for work, we got a taxi into town, we went to Flares in Mathew Street. We had a great time and danced all night. Ruth and me got a taxi home, i don’t remember getting into bed.

Ruth had us up just after nine o clock the next morning, ugh i don’t know how or why she was up that early, especially as how she said we didn’t get in until 4am. We had some bacon and egg then Ruth left about eleven o clock to go swimming ugh i never moved all day, i wasn’t fit to. I went back to bed about two o clock for a couple of hours but i still felt ill and out of it, i wasn’t the only one either, my friend Ann texted me she enjoyed herself but was suffering today. It was the next day before i felt human again, but a good time was had by all :)
