Just wanted to see if anyone was still interested before launching into it ...
He was there. He looked so fat, he resembled a cube. He'd sort of gelled his hair flat which looked most odd and oily and was wearing a Hawaiian shirt .
Most gratifyingly, I was looking right at him and didn't recognise him. He had to come right up to me and say hello before I twigged.
Anyway, I was surprisingly unnervous and we had a short chat, then later when I thought he'd left he sidled up to me and asked to take my "details" and said he'd love to see me one day [hmmm]
I'm not sure his wife was there, he appeared to be alone and he said he was living in his old flat which is a total bachelor pad, so I am wondering if he is now divorced and full of regrets.
Anyway, happily I was not remotely tempted. I said he could get my number from the hostess (was too embarrassed/surprised to refuse altogether) but when he calls I will say it was all a long time ago and I don't think it's worth reviving our "friendship" now.
And I wore .. skinny jeans over stiletto boots and a sort of silvery grey floaty top over it - much in the vein as discussed. Hair was done and for some reason (nerves) my skin was looking super glowy and radiant, I have to say I scrubbed up reasonably well.
The party was really fun anyway, saw loads of people I hadn't seen for ages. Came home reasonably merry (i remembered the don't get drunk warning) at about 1am and then was up at 6am when thunderstorm woke the dcs
Anyway, thanks everyone again for your input, I could not have had better closure if I'd tried [smile}
