Welcome 2011, goodbye 2010 the worst year on record!

Thank F Christmas is over with, I bloody hate Christmas at the best of times but when your single it's even worse! The only thing good about Christmas is the time off work, the alcohol I can consume without anyone moaning at me about it and seeing my little boy's excited face when he realises Santas's been, then laughing at the confusion on his face when he is trying to work out just how Santa got in.

This December we have faced snow, ice, bitterly cold winds and God know's how many virus', just to top off the shittest year on record!

Well everybody, all that is about to change! 2011 is almost upon us and I HAVE to make it my year! If it turns out to be as crap as this year there won't be much point stepping out the front door each day, and I think I may even voluntarily get myself a booking in a room with padded walls!

Let's look at the low points

* (end of 2009) my partner of nearly 6 years leaves me unexpectedly
* 4 weeks after this awful event, said partner gets it on with another girl
* I start out on the most horrific, horrendous, disastrous adventure into the world of dating, complete with crew and forces men galore
* Ex informs me he is going to be a dad! (as previously mentioned, with me he was the biggest commitment phobe ever and we were together almost 6 years)!
* still experimenting in the world of dating, haven't lost hope yet
* I actually meet a guy through work, young, hot, lasts 5 weeks and then boom all over!
* Then along comes Yogi, ahhhhh Yogi, well just when I thought i'd found someone who actually liked me, just over 3 months later he does a disappearing act even Houdini would be proud of!
* Ex has his baby

Now this list doesn't seem that long, but take into account that i've previously detailed nightmare dates so avid readers of the blog will know just how horrendous the world of dating has been for me, this is merely bullet points. Each revelation my ex could have delivered, he did and each one more devastating than the last, but no more. It's done, dusted, he was a huge part of my life but that chapter is over.

So i'm counting down the days, hours, minutes, seconds until New Year is upon us, i've decided to go away for the New Year and see it in with some of my bestest friends in the whole world. Girls you just couldn't and wouldn't want to be without, whilst they will be snogging the face off their husbands and fiance's at midnight, I will be staring into the bottom of my triple vodka, lime & lemonade, but this year it will be with a smile on my face knowing that nothing and no-one is going to put me back into that dark, black hole I was in this time last year. Oh, and I will also be dressed as the poisoned apple from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, picture that if you will!

So come on 2011 hurry up and arrive, I can't wait to hear that clock strike, to count down from 10 and to sing auld lang syne, I will be singing the loudest and smiling the most.

For the friends I won't be with on New Year's eve, you all know who you are and how important you are to me. I couldn't have got through this year without you and i'll never forget how amazing you all are. Another year of friendship and adventures awaits us

HAPPY NEW YEAR :-)

What are the chances!!!

What are the odds that the next proper boyfriend you meet after splitting with your long term partner has exactly the same birthday as the ex?
On top of that what's the odds that said boyfriend dumps you on the exact 12 month anniversary since said long term boyfriend dumped you?
So that's 2 boyfriends with the same birthday both dump you on the same day 2 consecutive years running......... Billions to 1 chance of it happening....
Well I should have got myself to Ladbrokes and placed that bet because it looks like it has happened to me!!!! All I can say is JUST MY LUCK!!!!!! Oh and the lotto numbers this week will be 3, 6, 19, 21, 30 & 44!!

Now I can't confirm 100% I have been dumped but if I haven't then he has some explaining to do! He hasn't answered my texts or phonecalls and there is no reason I know of that he wouldn't be able to do so, unless something happened to him on the drive home from Scotland in the awful 'big freeze' driving conditions. But surely if something had happened to him, whoever now has his phone would pay attention to the fact it has been ringing and text messages arriving and think 'hmmmm better have a look at this'!

I'm really worried he's seriously injured or worse and I know nothing about it, but at the same time i'm also really worried he doesn't want to see me anymore :-( it was going so well so I will be a bit gutted if and when I actually get confirmation of the 'dumping'.
I got a bit tipsy on Saturday night and did phone him a few times but seriously if that has annoyed him, he should remind himself of the many early hours drunk phonecalls he has given me and I've answered every single one! He didn't answer mine so he doesn't really have any reason to be annoyed!!!!!

Why when blokes think they don't want to see you anymore, do they just seem to disappear into thin air and leave you wondering rather than being a grown up, and telling you to your face? At least it removes the worry they are trapped in a well somewhere, calling your name into the air and no-one hearing their cries for help! As hard as the words 'it's not you, it's me' are to hear it's much better than being ignored! I've said it before, men should just be honest, i've told blokes I don't want to see them anymore. It's hard but it's much better than the continuing texts or phonecalls which you just ignore but bug you that they don't get the hint!

I really do have the most tragic love life of anyone I know, this isn't me feeling sorry for myself, it's me realising that I am destined to a life of being single! I'm getting to old to expect there to be a single bloke round every corner, so I think I just have to accept this is how it's going to be from now on.
If by some miracle I haven't been dumped I will update you as and when the information comes my way! God and I've already bought his Christmas presents, what a bloody waste of money that might be!!!!!!!
