There seems to have been an outbreak of awesomeness in B3taland.
Thank you both for my gifts.

You know who you are, although I only know who one of you is. The other is a mystery. I am genuinely touched and not in a dribbly window licking way.

Question: Can this day get any better?

Edit: I think I've figured out who the other B3tan was.

Yes this day can get better, I'm off out tonight for a mate's birthday and I plan on getting well and truly cul-de-sac'd. Emily's out as well (mutual friends), but she said her boyfriend is out with his mates, so might meet him for the first time tonight.

She's gone well mental
She found a pic on FB of my mate (her ex) with his arm around the new girlfriend that was taken years ago. She commented on it saying "OMG this proves they were together even then!"
Thing is, 'new gf' is also a friend, and we've all been friends for 14-20 years. The picture was of 10 or so good friends all hugged up close for a group photo...

Chompy, I'm sorry I was an arse last night. Work was getting me down and I took it out on you in a manner most unfair. You have my apologies for doing so.

In other news, it was mine and Ms Foxtrot's anniversary yesterday and the florist I went to after work was fucking CLOSED. The shits. Due to time constraints I had to get her flowers from Asda. Nice ones, though. And I cleaned the kitchen and made her breakfast in bed today. So I can go back to being an absolute cunt for the rest of the year.

Strikethrough away...

The logic is that if the roles were reversed I'd be pissed off so it's only right to apologise. Chompy, of course, probably doesn't give a shit.
