Brother Birthday

It was my brothers 30th Birthday last Friday - 11th March.
I bought him a £50 bottle of aftershave.

I heard he was having a meal on his birthday and I was hoping I wasn't invited. Not because I didn't want to go but because I had been ill all week and wasn't well on the Friday.

But on the Friday afternoon he rung me up and asked me if I wanted to go and I ended up saying yes and that was because he had rung me and asked me himself.

The Friday I wasn't feeling too well and I had, had a banging headache all day and I didn't want to go out with such a bad headache so I took extra painkillers to get rid of my bad head.

I then started to get ready and showered and all that and then I could not for the life of me find an outfit to wear and it was stressing me out. I don't have that many going out/evening clothes and when I do have isn't much.
I found a top that I really wanted to wear and I've had it a while but I haven't worn it that many times so I put it on and it doesn't fit and I don't mean it is too big, I mean it was too tight. So I couldn't wear that and that stressed me out.
I then couldn't find another top to wear, all the ones I found which was one or two were ones to wear with a skirt and I didn't have the appropiate skirt/s and wanted to wear trousers.
I then found a nice black blouse that I have had years and years and thought it will do if it still fits. I really didn't think that it would fit, well I was sure that it wouldn't fit so it was such a surprise when I put it on and it still fit. The only thing was one of the cuffs had a button missing and as I was running late and didn't think I had a spare one I couldn't do anything about it and decided to wear the other one open so they look the same and hopefully no one would notice.

Then I thought that I would try my trousers on that I was going to wear because the ones I wanted to wear I couldn't wear. I couldn't wear them because one of the hems on the bottom of one of the legs had come undone and I didn't have the time to do anything about it. In fact they have been like that for months now and I have wanted to wear them a few times and have been unable to do so.
So I went for my second pair of nice black trousers which aren't as good as the other pair but are nice all the same.
When I first got them they just fit as I got a size smaller than what I am and I know I have put a bit of weight on in the last six months but I was hoping to just squeeze into them.
But then I put them on and I couldn't for the life of me do them up and then I was stressed as I has nothing else to wear.

I then decided to dry and my hair and straighten it as I was running out of time and needed to get it done.
When I had done that I decided to waer the trousers that needed hemming and I thought I could pin them with safety pins underneath just for the evening.

Both me and my dad were late in leaving the house, in fact we left 5 minutes before we were due to be there and it takes about 10-15 minutes to get there.

We were the last ones there but they were still waiting for there table anyway so we didn't hold anything up.

Barry really liked the aftershave and it seems that everyone else there also liked it was well as it was passed round and tried on by all the men there.

There was Katie, Marc, Shellie, Duncan, Darren, 2 of Barry's friends, Barry - of course, Me and My Dad. My Mum and Dave stayed at home with "excuses" .

We ordered and then was shown to our table.

Then we sat and sat and sat.

Then 90 minutes later they turned up with the starter.

We sat and waited a whole 90 minutes - Katie and Marc were bored stupid - in fact we were all bored stupid waiting. And because it was getting late I started to feel not hungry.

Our starters finally arrived and then I eat mine and felt full - oppsss - then ten minutes later the main course turned up and everyone at the table was more than relieved to get that. Me on the other end wasn't because I had eaten my starter and that had seemed to fill me up. I knew I needed food because of the way that I felt.
I then started to eat as much as I could and was so glad when they didn't bring the garlic bread that I ordered.

It was a fun meal and Barry's friend - who names escapes me - made me laugh so much throughout the meal, he seems like a cool guy who I would love to have as a friend.

After the meal my dad went to get some cans from the offie and my brother took me up to the pub with him and two of his friends. Where we met up with one of his other friends, Nick.
It didn't take long for my dad to show up and we stayed until just after those four left for a night club. We got invited but my dad turned them down, I wished that my dad had said yes as I really wanted to go.
The next day I was glad I didn't go because being out the night before had taken it out of me because I was ill and I woke up a bit run down.

Anyway fun was had by all and I can't wait till the next night out which is going to be for my dads 66th next month. I better get saving ... hehe
