Hello! so many posts I will have to do a lot of scrolling to reply.
Really, you think having grown up in Spain and doing a lot of misspending of my youth there I would know the Spanish for STI clinic but sadly I can?t help. Pedro?s uncle was a dish though so fully worth a bit of a rash.
Yes I do normally get up around 8.30 or sometimes 9am. Sometimes I go back for a lie down around 11am. Getting up can be so exhausting! But I haven?t done that for a while being that I am back at the gym in full force. It was a real treat when I was pg though, I know how lucky I am to have the time to be able to do it. Having the time is a bit of a bugger though as it means I don't have as much work in as I need and am therefore rather skint.
Ooh IC, legs lasered? I would love to do that. I am finding that it hasn?t totally got rid of everything but it is so much easier to keep control of. Not that my bush was totally out of control but you know what I mean. And so does Pedro.
My lady bits were lasered at Skin Oasis in London but it was with that fab offer from Group On. I always see them coming up though so you must apply for the emails. I have had some fab offers from there ? gone to restaurants/theatres/bars/hotels/salons I wouldn?t have even known about unless I have had the voucher offer. It?s a nice way of doing something new for a bargain.
Seen a photo of Pixie, courtesy of Really and she is indeed rather Pixie-esque. Cute! Sorry I missed the fry up, I was too busy having a breakfast San Miguel. I do like a good beer buzz early in the morning.
Securegal, so glad you grabbed your passport, booked into our apartment and slipped onto a lounger by the pool. I do remember you from other threads but this one is so much more, well, Ibiza dahling.
Actually, in response to Sec and Arti too, the whole Ibiza thing has started for precisely the reasons you were voicing about having urges to go out and go a bit mad. A lot of us have been embracing hedonism with a bang since mc. I for one drank for England (Europe?) for a good few weeks, getting trashed on most weekends (and there were some quite long ones) as well as some mid week specials. Trying to be good but then wanting to drown sorrows and also just have a flipping blow out. I think I missed the carefree days of pre-pg, pre-mc and pre-getting bloody older. Then every time I did get pissed I would also find myself racked with guilt about what I was doing to my body, what I was doing to my mind, had I drunk-dialled or upset anyway or made myself look a twat. Really and I were going through the same thing, waking up at 5am with 'the fear' ? until she selfishly got re-duffed - but I too am ready for a bit more clean living so it is good to force myself to have a break. Last week though (and I am not saying I won?t feel this way again soon) I just wanted to run away. Not be married, not be worrying about fertility/age/mc and the rest and just be living a really exciting life somewhere bloody anywhere but in my own life. Hence the urge for the girls holiday. Honestly if I had the cash I would round us all up and insist we go for real! My brother lives in LA and I am so tempted to ask him to pay for me to go visit :)
After the weekend however I woke up with renewed vigour for my career ? which I am completely passionate about ? and am really trying to focus on making that a very good place to be. If one major element of my life is going well that I will be less wanting to focus on the bad stuff. And less wanting to escape and question everything.
Loving the idea of holidays to both New York and China! Haven?t been to China. As LIG mentioned earlier (I sent her and Pixie links to my online video so they can see what I look like) I am indeed a travel writer so have great perks of the job, but as a freelancer it is also up and down and I have to do a lot of digging around for work. So I do get free trips abroad sometimes but I don?t get free cheese. Free cheese!!! Am well jel (as they might say in Essex). Arti, if you can come to a future meet up we might be giving you Chinese burns if you don?t bring some seriously smelly stuff and hand it round at the table.
So - manana.... As Really can get there pretty early and I have feck all to do can too, we might be the first. Everyone else text/call us if you can't see us! LIG hope you can come too. But hopefully there will be a next time too if you and whoever else can't make it can't.
Feeling rather sun burnt but looking forward to getting my toned, brown limbs out for another night on the town with my favourite holiday girlees.
