Nightmares, coughing fits, dreams about my calamitous ex and finally insomnia at 3am.
However, I'm still in a relatively good mood, I have coffee, and I'm off tomorrow.
What keeps you wading through the shit?

and I'm on it now. His girfriend's mother lost 20kg and he's lost 7kg in 7 weeks (without doing it properly at the weekends). Basically, you can eat as much as you want, but only proteins, for 5 days. After that, 1 day only proteins, 1 day proteins and vegetables. No fat, no carbs and at least 20min walk every day. For each small glass of wine you have to walk 20min.
I started yesterday, I'll tell you on Monday how it went.

You can eat as much fish and seafood as you want (in fact, that's what I'm eating these days). You can have dairy products (fat free ones) and you can eat eggs. That's for 5 days, after that you mix fish and vegetables.

I found something I liked similar to what I said I wanted. Then I tried this one, and it looks so good on me (or so I think) and it's quite original too.
At the begining I didn't want to buy it, as the other one I saw was only £250 and more or less what I had wanted always, but even my father insisted and said I would regret it if I had this other one on my head and didn't buy it. So there you are... All my principles are dead.

We're trying as well to do as much as possible ourselves, but still, it's going to cost a lot more than we thought.
I'm very lucky, as my father works for people with quite a lot of money in Tenerife, but he doesn't like to charge them more than what it's necessary for him to live, so they always try to give him money when they see the opportunity. These clients are paying a good chunk of the wedding too, as well as letting us use their cars, houses, hotels for guests... I can't complain at all.

which will help a lot.
The trouble we're having is that our car needs servicing, and a new cam belt, we've got a room to get plastered and paint etc. to buy, as well as trying to save as much as possible for the wedding.
We're lucky that we've got a really good photographer as a mate who will do that for free, and hopefully we should be able to get a good band on the cheap.
It's weddings costs on top of living costs that is proving difficult!
I'm quite annoyed with Mrs V's sister as well, don't care that she got engaged shortly after we did and is getting married sooner, but it's pissed me off that she is having her wedding on a fucking Thursday.

as we are having the whole thing at the same place and stuff.
that is the one of the reasons why Mrs V's sister is getting married on a Thursday. Also they are only having about 40 guests, so their chosen venue wouldn't actually let them do it at the weekend, because they could make more money from a bigger wedding.

remember that whingey girl in my pole class? At the weekend she asked me if she could have some extra private lessons because she was struggling, so I thought 'oh good she's realised she's lagging and is going to try harder and stuff'. But last night whenever she wasn't on the pole, she sat down reading the fucking paper. I said "oh, am I boring you?" and she said "no, I'm just reading" and turned back to the paper. How can she not see how rude that is?!

She will start to hold the others back though because she refuses to do moves that are a bit difficult, painful or scary. We did a move last night where you climb up the pole, grip it with your legs and then lean right back so you're upside down, but she wouldn't take her hands off so she never even got horizontal, let alone vertical. She told one of the other girls that she would be happy to do it if there was a big strong bloke holding her up but because it's just me she doesn't feel safe. However, when she let go of the pole entirely a few weeks ago, I caught her and she didn't fall, so I don't know what her problem is.

This IS really difficult and you don't seem happy. Also, my classes aren't just about turning up and doing pole when it's your turn. It's about participating and it's about your outlook.

but it did mean I got to hear the guy strolling down my street, drunk as a motherfucker, basically challenging the whole of Exeter to a fight, and bemoaning that no one would come out and fight him.
By the sound of it he was a Plymouth Argyle fan (shouting Green Army like a wanker) and was shouting at the top of his voice, very angrily, that if this were Torquay people would be out with knives, if it were Plymouth it'd be baseball bats, but that Exeter was bollocks because no one would come out and fight him.

I was out in plymouth a few years ago and started walking up North Hill from the Roundabout, my mate was in his bristol city shirt as he is a bit of a tosser and we had to walk through a couple of coach loads of Plymouth fans who had just got back from an away game. Pretty sketchy 30 seconds really, lot's of drunk janners giving us abuse and shoulder barging.

I was surprised we didn't get punched. Not as uncomfortable as sat on the train from Cardiff to Bristol after the FA Cup and I was the only gunner in one carriage full of Chelsea fans. I got a lot of shit. Most of it funny though.

although he might then have attacked my house. He was very drunk and very angry.
