Funny Valentine

Happy Valentines everybody! Some say it's just another day like any other and you should show your loved one the same affection everyday - screw that! I think it's lovely to have such a day to be extravagant and go all out to show somebody how much you love them. Jay and I are doing this tonight in the form of take away and possibly a movie. I've got him something rather large & edible. (Teehee, that sounds naughty, it's not...) Infact, the chances are he probably thinks it's naff and that I haven't put in any effort but the truth is I have little money and i'm on a show string budget! He'll understand! Anyway, it kinda suits that we've been together 1 year on Saturday, 1 whole year since we went on a nervous date to Zizzi, and he told me "If I had to rate your smile out of 10, it'd be a 10" - what a line! Got me. :-)

This weekend was crazy, so crazy I thought about spelling 'crazy' with a 'K' although I don't like bad grammar, so I have chosen not to.

Friday night we went to a charity gig at the Rifle Club in Fratton. Dawne met us there and it was a grand old knees up. I may have drank too much, I say may - I definitely drank too much. Ended up going to a kebab house after, I can honestly say I lost all track of time I have no idea what time we got in. All I know is that I fell in the door of the loo in the 'restaurant' (embarrassing) and then threw up what I had eaten when I got in (classy). I am absolutely amazed that I didn't feel too hungover the next day. Actually can't believe it. I am also amazed that this is only the 3rd time ever in the history of forever that I have been sick from drinking. To top it off, I woke up in the morning to find my bed had actual broken and I was laying at a slight angle.

Jay and I toyed with the idea of going down for breakfast but then fell back to sleep and woke up around 11:30, whoops! We watched the United/City match which had a couple of great goals, and in the eve we did home made pizza! The dough was immense! Definitely something I want to do again. Jay's was like a chilli, hot chilli, hot hot chilli pizza though so I didn't think much of it, but he likes to go overboard on the chilli on almost everything so no surprise there!

Yesterday was good fun, old Stokesy was back from his travels around South America so we all met up for lunch and a game of bowling! I came third in the bowling, my standards are clearly slipping. I blame Friday night to be fair. We met his new girlfriend Alex, really lovely to meet her, she'll fit right in with everybody for sure.

I was pretty much in bed by 7:30 last night, watched the Baftas at 9, then couldn't sleep till about 12:30 but eventually managed to zonk out. The King's Speech pretty much cleaned up at the Baftas as expected. I have new love for Helena Bonham Carter, her speech was really funny and she seems like a cool, if a little weird lady! As Dawne pointed out Tim Burton still hasn't found a hair brush. Sir Christopher Lee is looking OLD like seriously old. I knew he was old, but not that old. Natalie Portman won Best Actress for Black Swan - seriously need to see this film again. Loved it! Definitely one for the DVD collection. The next few films on the agenda to be seen are -

Never let me go
True Grit
Paul

Also, I am actually too excited about Hangover II! YES! This time it's in Thailand, but I think they lose Doug again. Liam Neeson has a cameo and Mr Chow is back, haha! Hitting cinemas in May - can't wait!

Righty ho, i'm going back to the future. See ya!
