Saturday 29 November 2008 - Day at Olympia

Emma called me at 9.30 my alarm had been going off all morning and I just didn’t wake up.  Considering I felt tipsy last night after 3 drinks I didn’t have one bit of a hangover so the water before bed obviously helped.

 

Emma and I were booked to go to Olympia as they were running an exhibition for Business Start Ups.  People like James Caan from the Dragons Den and Caprice where all due to make appearances there talking about how they started and what made them so successful.

 

So there was me, running late as usual.  I picked Emma up and we headed down there.  I put the most stupid pair of shoes on!  They were killing me!  When we finally got there we qued to see Caprice, Emma kept saying that when she asks questions I needed to put my hand up and indirectly mention Rent A Date For Charity seeing as we had gone to her agent previously asking for her help and to go up for auction.  Without a drink in hand there was no way I was going to do that.  Turns out that Caprice cancelled on them and so we had qued for nothing.

 

We also managed to miss all the other speakers that we wanted to meet too.  Trust us!

 

With business card in hand I targeted a few of the stalls and basically offered them free advertising in return for freebees for the site.  I made a good few contacts including one from a PR company who was really interested in helping out.

 

Emma made me call over this lady who apparently came second in the Apprentice.  I had no idea who she was as id never watched it so had no clue what to say.  Anyway she took my card and promised she would look at what I was doing and email me.  So I guess it’s a start, she even mentioned that she was single so if anything we could get her up on a date!

 

By the time we got back it was dark and we were starving.  We ordered a Thai meal and sat in and watched the XFactor together, Emma her little boy Jake and her boyfriend.  We have all known each other for years.  Her boyfriend is my ex's brother and pretty much like a brother to me too.

 

I got home around 10pm just in time for Im a Celebrity Get Me out of Here!  Poor little Princess had been home all day on her own I felt so bad!  She normally goes everywhere with me.

 

I was having another emotional evening.  I know woman get emotional at the best of times but I always seem to be up and down with it.  One of my Ex’s and I have been really close lately nothing has been going on with us purely just friends.  We were together for a very long time and we are like sole mates.  Because of the mood I was in I started thinking about what could be.  These past few weeks all Ive been thinking about is having my own family some day.  Im sick of being single and stuck up on the top shelf.  Ive not met anyone I relate to as much as I do with this person and needed to let them know how I was feeling.  So being me sent the longest text message hoping for reconciliation.  It just seemed stupid to me.  We got on so well and we are so good for each other all his mates are my mate’s bla bla bla...  It’s not that I haven’t tried to form relationships with anyone else.  I just can’t.  When you love someone so much it’s hard to get them off your mind especially in times like these.

 

So that’s what I did.  I put my cards on the table and had it out.
