Back from Brighton

After been up from 5am and on the train from 6am I finally arrived back home at 12pm after a tiring 6 hour trip back from Brighton to Sheffield where I have been for the last week with Jodie and Gemma, so how was the holiday?

Well we arrived there last Saturday in a nice posh pad in the marina, If I could afford to buy one myself I would so a good start to the holiday with the flat. The first day there we pretty much chilled out and had a BBQ and wine with the weather been nice.

We did not party much as in nights out, in fact only once and that was the Thursday as we neared the end of the holiday, we seemed to spend a lot of money with nothing to show for it lol. The first few days were good, Sat through to Tue and our days out included Preston Manor, which has featured on Most Haunted, it was OK but I would not go again, we also spent a day on the beach, visited a Sea Life Centre, which was pants. We also managed to get lost lol and when I upload the video diary you will see.

Anyhow by Wednesday the weather had turned a bit sour and cold and rainy and we had to find other activities to do and that included 2 Visits to the cinema and also to play bowling and also crazy golf, both which I have never played before but I really enjoyed bowling lol. As mentioned Thursday night we went out to Charles Street Bar & Club, only £1 a drink so you can't beat that. The night was OK other than the music that seemed a little random going from 1 pop song to dance song and back to pop song and dance song, so it made it a little difficult to get into the night. We stayed here till around half 1am before going for food, in which some guy then tried to get me back to his lol, which I refused of course. It was a strange feeling in the club, the last time I came to Brighton, which was the first time ever I came with Michael who died back in Jan and the club we were in was the club we also had our night out so it was a little eery feeling I had.

Friday we had become even more tired of the place and changed our coach from the later afternoon one that it should have been to the early Sat one instead, which is why I arrived back home at 12pm rather than 9pm. Friday though the weather perked up and I had my new tattoo, this is tattoo 6 as you can see in the pic and also I never planned for any more and I'd always said I would have no more than 5 lol but anyway I had it done on my arm, it is a symbol that means "Faith" and it looks really nice. After the tattoo we went shopping and I bought a new funky watch and once shopping had finished it was off back to the apartment to chill out for a bit before our final meal tonight. This meal was on a floating Chinese Restaurant, when we arrived though me and Jodie were a little tipsy from the cocktails we had been drinking and when it came to ordering food unfortunately the wine that we ordered we could not finish off, one glass I had out the £15 bottle it cost us. The meal however was really nice and made a fitting end to the end of the holiday, so overall it has been good it's just a shame the weather turned and a shame there was not more to do really to keep us entertained, next time I go I might just stick to a weekend visit.

On other news you may or may not have noticed that I have been a little quiet on the dating business. I'd had a couple of dates with a guy called Reece but that has not gone any further and we had the "text" discussion on Friday, the day before I went away and it happened to be that he was also going away the same Sat. Over the last few days prior to the decision that was made I had not made a great deal of effort, nor had he but I had mentioned to him I needed more from a relationship, and by this I mean more time, which he did not seem to be able to provide, which was fair enough but my instincts still told me not to go there, I kept questioning stuff in my mind that did not seem to add up but he also did seem an ideal kind of man and we had a few really nice dates, however though the plot thickens, only yesterday I find he is now with someone, his new relationship and that he was also on the holiday with him as well. My opinion is, great and that it's nice when people find someone but the raised issue that I have is that me and Reece only on Friday decided we were not going to take it further and we then both went on holiday the day after so one begs to question did he meet this boyfriend on that same Friday after we decided what we did and did he then offer him to come with him on holiday the day after, all seems rather quick to me or could it be that he was seeing us both at the same time? I could bet a million quid that he must have been getting friendly with us both at the same time, either that or someone is the fastest mover I've ever met especially to say to him "Why not come on booked holiday, it's only tomorrow and I know I only met you today" etc etc lol. Which do you think is the likely outcome? looks like instinct was right again and proves that men really are all the same. I wonder though if this other boy knows Reece was getting to know me over the last few weeks. Strange thing is as well that I only text him the other day and he ignored me but as soon as I came across something on facebook that highlighted the fact he could be with someone I made a comment, nothing bad - just a general comment and within a few minutes I got an email from Reece saying he had met someone etc etc, then within a few minutes his relationship status changed. Why now all of a sudden?

Rant over, but If I do find out he was seeing us both at the same time I will inform the other party, truth an all that.
