Sunday 1 Januaray

131 lbs, alcohol units 20/30 (who's counting, it's not like I have a problem, it is New Years after all), calories (depressing sort of number), boyfriends for Una's Turkey Curry Buffet 1, times wished could stay in bathroom all day 412

7:03am: Oh god. Oh bugger. Really must try and do something about making the sun less bright. Ughhh.

11:47am: Finally made it out of bed, got dressed, and climbed into the car. It was rather funny to see Mark as pissed as I was. He only usually has little bit, but not last night. Think he may be slighty stressed about work. Luckily he thought ahead and ordered the chauffeur to take us to Una's today. Mmm. Is rather lovely though, going to Una's in chauffered car with M. Darcy. Ugh. Am deffinatly giving up drinking.

7:56pm: Am finally on way home after hellish tourture day. When we arrived Mark and I were asleep in the back, it was quite cozy actually. Maybe Charlie should drive us around more often. Still it would have been nicer to be back at home, in my own bathroom.

"Bridget! Mark! We were just talking about you!"

"Oh...lovely. Hi Uncle Geoffery." He moved for the simulanious hug/ass groping when Mark swooped in. Hurrah!

"Oh Mark! We're so happy to see you? Mini-gherkin? Ooh! Jamie's over there. Why don't you say hi?"

"Pam! The gravey I think it needs-"

"I'll be right there Una! Honestly..."

The rest of the day passed in a fuzzy blurry sort of way. Mum kept coming over and tutting at me every now and again. After the whole Rebecca disaster she's been ringing me up with what she calls "Helpful Hints." I told Mark about her hints (well, actually he overheard me talking to Shaz about their merit) and he laughed then said my Dad needs to find her a new career besides me. So far the only thing we've been able to think up is 1.) Suicide Help Line (not v.g. as mum has tendency to cause suicides) 2.) Daycare Worker (turned down as mum scares small children) and 3.) Professional Friend (you know, where people pay other people to be their friend. Think this one might actually work, what with mum's co-dependency problem and all.)

After torture session was over, we went to Mark's parents house. Really actually v. lovely as 1.) Admiral Darcy was also pissed and 2.) Elaine doesn't mind smoking in the house. We talked for a while, then just sat around. It's always nice to go over to his parents, because they really are v. sweet. Also Mark is extra nice (and horny come to think of it) after we go over there, and is talking about how he wants what they have. Is really v. v. nice.
