My friend Elaine was going to come to my home after she finished work but I was asked to work on reception in the afternoon, so she suggested she  meet me after work and we’d go have something to eat and a few drinks. I was very tired from my problem and working all day Friday but looked forward to the night out. We went for a chinese buffet, it was very nice and I loved the prawns afterwards we went for a drink in the Irish bar across the road from where we’d eaten. The bar was very busy, we stayed for a couple of drinks but then when it got 3 deep all around the bar I said let’s find somewhere else. We didn’t go far, the bar next door had a singer and karaoke on so we went in there. We stayed ’til about 12, I had to work the next morning, we rang a taxi and waited well over half an hour so rang another, my usual company, they came about 5 mins later. Elaine came back to mine to wait for her husband to pick her up, we had a drink while we waited so it was about 130 in the morning when I got to bed

I don’t know how but I got up for work, think I was still tipsy, had to talk myself through work but I achieved a lot and was glad when 12 o clock came. I went to bed for a sleep in the afternoon, I was going out again Saturday night to my friend Jeans 30th birthday party they were having for her daughter and surprise 60th for her husband  so needed to recharge my batteries. I woke up about 530, it was an effort and took me a while to come to but eventually dragged myself  out

The party was at the police club by the river, very nice, lovely views over the river. I arrived later than I wanted I had few hiccups then the taxi was late, said he didn’t know where I lived as it wasn’t on the sat nav, they all get it wrong. Jean was at the bar when I arrived she was pleased I’d made it, I sat with Jean,  Betty and her husband, Jeans brother and family and jeans neighbours. We had a nice hot buffet, chicken curry and a beef stew as well as a cold buffet, then profiteroles and gateau, yum   Usually Betty will get up and dance but she couldn’t this night but Jean and I had a good dance. It was a lovely partyand I really enjoyed myself. I think it was about 1am when we finished, unfortunately I was working again Sunday morning.

Again don’t know how but I made it into work, at least it was only 3hrs today.

This weekend, typical, not working and not out so cleaned my windows when I got in from work Friday, food shopping Saturday and easy day Sunday with some vodkas thrown in, well a girl has to have some nice things after working all week
