The Old Bags Ball

Lorraine wanted to go to the Old Bags Ball and as it is her birthday next week and we have not been before it seemed fair to let her choose. Both Jayne and I had our misgivings but I was not too keen on going to the Railway as it might have Mr V and Robs friends all in the same room along with Robo who has been increasingly texting me and even last night suggested he be my taxi home last night!

What is it with some men? They think they can keep you stringing along for over a year and then suddenly when they choose you will just open your legs for them? No way. I think of him as a friend now and thats it. I'll have to let him down gently as it sounds like things are pretty rough at home for him.

Mark was there which had bothered Jayne along with knowing that his ex wife Hazel was there as well. It started off okay with Jayne talking to Hazel and encouraging her to speak to Mark and get him and his son together but as the night went on and Hazel did talk to Mark and did sit with Mark and did still talk and chat with Mark and basically left no room for Jayne anyway ...Jayne got crosser and drunker and ended the evening by sending Justine a text complaining about what Mark and Hazel were doing which caused me to say to Jayne she shouldn't do that and Jayne getting even crosser and we all went home pissed off and 20 quid poorer.

Robo came to Harlow and apparently had some crisis at home that he had to whizz off to so I was relieved the problem of trying to fend him off which was a relief.

The Old Bags Ball is so wierd. Its full of really old wrinkly people wearing teenage clothes. You can see the loose saggy arms and the faces are so lined and yet they are wearing the most inappropriate clothes. I always feel uncomfortable there. I don't object to older people having a good time after all I am one myself but why dress like a teenager? You do not look attractive. Why not buy yourself something that makes you look good and glamorous like what I try to do lol.

Lorraine is annoying because whenever we go to the Railway she always wants to leave dead on 12.30 but at the OBB she books a car for 1.15!! Double standards or what?!

Jayne and I also have a problem in that we have the secret trip to Venice booked in September and Lorraine wants to go away and last night suggested to me that we book for early September as Justine will be having her baby in October! Oh god what to do!

Today is a gloriously sunny day and I really want to get out and plant some seeds and do some digging. Hangover and tiredness might conspire against me and I might end up doing something gentle like a little browsing round the shops with Jayne.
