Misunderstandings and other funny anecdotes
So, first of all, hello. I've been busy so I haven't had time to tell you all how much fun I had on Friday. However, I realised most of you are already fed up with talking about it, so I won't say another word.

Now, my funny misunderstanding happened on Friday, so forgive me for talking about the bash again. I promise I won't mention how much fun I had and how awsome everybody was.

As those who've met me know, I've got a bit of a Spanish accent. And as those who were there or have been told, BGB got me hen do accessories for the party, including a nice veil.

I went to the toilet with the veil on, and a proper, noisy, pinky girl came half shouting and super excited:

-Girly girl: OMG! You're getting married, aren't you! OMG! It's your hen party! That's so coooool!
-Me: Eh, well, yes, it is, kind of...
-GG: Kind of? Why? OMG! Why?
-Me: Well, my boyfriend is there already
-GG (looking very upset): What do you mean, he's there?
-Me: Well, he's there, you see? I had a hen party already, but things didn't go well, so, well, my friends organised another for me?
-GG (looking very sad): Oh, but, your boyfriend is there...
-Me: Yes, but it's ok. We're having fun, and that.
-GG: That's very sweet... so... how was it?
-Me: How was what?
-GG: You know, him... how did he... died?
-Me: WHAT?
-GG: Ey, you said he was dead!
-Me: NO. THERE, THERE, NOT DEAD!

People... we looked at each other and laugh, so not too bad.

So, any funny anecdotes or misunderstandings, you people?

EDIT: BTW, Kitty, I have your skirt with me here, at work.

Someone who know's I've not had a job for a while asked if I was "managing to get by, or what?"
