2 Weeks 2 Days...

Valentines Day last Wednesday was ace! I spoke to Jim late night Tuesday, techniquely it was Valentines day for him (3 hours ahead) and I was given the instructions to be in most of the day to recieve a special delivery! *exciting!* I had no plan till the evening anyways so I didn't mind waiting around. 1pm came, and still no post, so I decided to jump in the bath, 15mins later the dogs started barking, so I ran through to my bedroom to check out the window, and worse timing ever, the delivery guy was outside my front door! He was about to leave so I shouted out the window that I'll come down, I just had to grab a dressing gown! lol. I signed for a massive box that had "fresh flowers" written on the side, I ran inside and ripped my way into it and Jim had sent me the most beautiful bouquet of 12 red roses! They are so gorgeous! (Just look at them!!!) I cried then couldn't stop smiling for the rest of the day! I've hung them upside down now to dry out, like the last bunch of roses Jim gave me, so they'll last forever! Woot!
In the evening I went round to Ella's house and started on the wine, then we went to Zen Noodle Bar where I had booked a table for us and ate till we could eat no more! lol. Oh so good! Mmmm. Oh, it was really funny when we got the waiter guy to take a photo of us, coz sudenly we could smell burning paper! We looked down to see the menu order form had fallen onto the tea light and caught a light! I put it out but it was still smoking and smouldering round the edges so I picked it up and for some reason went to put it back in the flame! lol, but then shoved it into my glass of water! Not only that, but a few minutes later, the owner of the restaurant set a light to a load of napkins when he was clearing the table next to us, so he through them into a wicker basket and proceded to blow on them! lol! After dinner we then struggled to walk to the cinema, but it was hilarious coz we were feeling quite tipsy plus I was high on the sugar from the dessert, so we were just being really silly and laughing loads like loons! I also taught Ella how to power walk! lol. When we got to the cinema we were going to watch a girile film like "Dream girls" but instead we decided to watch "Hannibal Rising"...*Romantic!* lol.









Last Friday was Dik's Birthday pub coz he turned 20 on Monday! Woot! So I made him a cake and we all went over to Rattlesden to celebrate!





This last week has gone really fast! I spoke to Jim on Monday then recieved a letter from him on Tuesday. He sounded much happier this time when I spoke to him, he was just generally a lot more chatty and joked a lot more, I guess he's really looking forward to coming home, so all the shit stuff isn't bothering him too much anymore, which is good, coz it's really hard to talk to him when he's down coz all I want to do is hug and kiss him and make him feel better! I drove over to Woolpit on Wednesday night to have dinner with his parents. Steve's car had broken down so was going to be late coming back from work, so Jackie and I ate and chatted till he got home. Was really nice to just sit and chat with them. At about 10pm I left and came home and Jackie followed in Jim's car to go pick Felicity up from her boyfriends house. I'll probably pop round again before Jim comes home! Only 2weeks and 2days to go! Woooo!
Oh yeah, Dik popped over on Pancake day, we went over to Tesco to grab some eggs to make pancakes and Dik wanted to get some angel delights. Wasn't untill gone 10pm when we sat down to eat the many pancakes we had made! We had bacon and maple syrup, sugar and lemon, and then Dik proceeded to eat one filled with butterscotch angel delight! *nice!* I don't think he was overly impressed with that choice of filling, but he ate it all anyways!
Yesterday was Emmakins' 20th Birthday! Woot! So I went over to hers to met her when she finished work and we then got takeaway from Zen (Mmmm) and a bottle of wine from Tesco. We bombed over to Thurston and watched this years performance of "Grease" which was pretty cool, then went back to hers to watch "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" and drank wine till the early hours of the morning! Tee hee. Tonight is her Birthday pub, so I've just made her cake (I'll decorate it a bit later) then tonight I'll go do the rounds and head off to Rattlesden. Yay!

*Got My Beautiful Days Ticket!!!!! YAY!*
Oh my gosh, I'm so sleepy! I drove home from Cambridge today after finishing class- I've had such a hectic weekend. I did my CPR certificate yesterday morning, then did loads of practice teaching in the gym. Today I did a mock written exam in the morning then learnt some core stability stuff then did more teaching in the gym! f-u-n! There's just so much to take in mentally, and then having to do physical stuff too is really quite nakering! But owell, it's all good. I can't believe how close the assessments are though...3rd March! Eeek!
I'm really looking forward to Valentine's day on Wednesday! I'm going out with beautiful Ella again this year, but this time we're going to Zen noodle bar, and then to the cinema! Woot! How exciting! Plus I really need my mind taking off missing Jim, I can't stop thinking about him, and it's really getting me down, which is silly really coz it's getting closer and closer to when he gets back! YAY! I'm really excited about recieving his Valentines present in the post, I've already got one present from him, but he let me open that one, coz apparently that wasn't my actual Valentines present! Woooo!
So anyway, I'll leave you with a few photos I took on my walk with the doggies across the fields, and round through Troston back to Livermere! Josephine (my sis) asked me to post them...(blogger will only let me post 3 for some reason, so owell...enjoy anyhow!)...

Beautiful Lil...she's such a poser! tee hee!
