Well, it’s safe to say the boy done good ;-) Better than good. In fact I doubt Cupid himself could have topped it.

I won’t go into detail, I don’t wanna drive you insane with jealousy ;-) But I am counting myself as a very, very lucky girl, (Which is just as well really, since in a matter of months I’ll be pledging to spend the rest of my life with this guy! lol)

I am feeling strangely emotional at the moment, not suicidal emo or anything, just a tad soppy. I’m finding myself feeling all sentimental about stuff, like, you know, Lorelei getting old and everything, (she turns 4 tomorrow, and I feel really, really weird about it!) – And I keep crying for no real reason.

Wednesday night, for example, Mum and I headed out for a night at the flicks. We saw, ‘P.S I Love You,’ (which is fantastic, by the way, well worth watching!) – The storyline is quite sad, (in a nice way, if that makes any sense??!) – and yet out of the, oooh I don’t know, 30 odd people in the auditorium, I seemingly was the only one totally unable to control my emotions. I practically sobbed all the way through the film, making my popcorn soggy, and drawing far too much unwanted attention to myself. As we left the cinema I caught a glimpse of my reflection, my eyes were red-raw and my mascara was making a swift getaway. And even on the way home I was chewing my lip and twiddling my hair, the way I always do when I feel like I’m going to cry.

Still, don’t let me put you off . . . the story is lovely, and the eye-candy’s not bad either . . . . ;-)

Sophie Kinsella has a new novel out, (buy it, buy it now!) It’s called, ‘Remember Me?’ and I am totally hooked on it! Seriously, it’s so funny I keep laughing out loud, I’m trying to persuade Jay to read it too, only he doesn’t quite seem to share my passion for Chick Lit. (which is a bit shit actually) – I’m desperate to finish it, to see what happens at the end, but I know I’ll be gutted when it’s all over. Still, it should encourage me to get on with my own novel, (especially since I vowed I’d have it completed by the end of 2008 and we’re already half-way through February!) – I guess with all these soppy chick flicks and novels, my romantic side is out on true form!

At the risk of making this entire blog entry read like a Jonathan Ross Review, I’m also just gonna briefly rave about that ITV thingy . . . ‘Moving Wallpaper,’ and, ‘Echo Beach.’ – Very amusing, very witty – makes staying in on a Friday night totally viable!

We partied hard this afternoon, to celebrate Lorelei’s birthday. I’ve put the pics up, and I think they pretty much speak for themselves but we had a wonderful time.

It’s such a strange thought to think that this time 4 years ago I went into labour, (actually it will be exactly 4 years ago at midnight) – I remember Mum and I were watching the Brit awards, she was practising her Reflexology skills on me after my Auntie had recommended giving it a go to speed the labour process on . . . I remember shaving my legs in the tub before driving to the hospital, and then applying shit-loads of make-up on the way, as if it mattered what I looked like!

God, I can’t believe I went through all that, makes me feel extremely proud. My theory? If I can cope with labour, I can cope with anything ;-)

Well it was certainly worth it – I’d have a zillion kids if I could guarantee they’d all be as amazing as my Lori, I mean, obviously I would be totally skint and would have to build a house the size of England to squeeze all my kids in, but I’m sure it’d be okay ;-)

Righty-ho . . . I guess I’d better hit the sack now, got a busy weekend ahead of us and I’ll be a right bitch for the journey down south tomorrow, if I don’t get enough shut-eye ;-)
