Thursday 14 January

6:57am: Oopft. Bloody sun. One would think we'd be able to find some sort of way to turn it down in the morning. It's v. nessisary for it to be so bright. Honestly. Would have though Tony Blair would have adressed this by now.

7:15am: Was looking at ceiling and the pretty light made by ring when Mark Darcy woke up. Think he may have actually been awake for awhile but that he was just watching me. Is nice having someone to watch/have watch over you.

7:18am: Am still in bed with Mark. He's playing with my hair, and I'm looking at my ring trying to think how to tell mum.

"Mark...you didn't tell my mum did you?" Oh god. Now he's grinning at me.

"Well, no, but I think she may have figured it out when I called to tell her we were coming."

"We're coming?"

"I thought we'd go up this afternoon."

Fuck.

"It's not going to be that bad." He's hugging me to him again. God, he has the greatest chest. "I promise nothing bad will happen."

"Oh fuck!"

"What?"

"I was supposed to have my interview in to Adam by si..." he's laughing at me. My finance is actually laughing at me. Bastard. "It's not funny! How was I supposed to know?" Start hitting him round the head and laughing and suddenly we're shagging all over the room.

11:20pm: Am in bed with Mark after exhausting day at Mum's. Mark's parents were there too, so wasn't too bad as able to talk to Elaine. It turns out that Mark had already told them, along with Jude, Shaz, Magda, Jeremy and Tom (who got Adam at Independent to play along). Mum kept shoving pieces of horrible fabric at me trying to tell me what bridesmaids I should have and what their headbands should be made out of. Honestly. Is not like am getting married tommmrow.

11:22pm: Although come to think about it, when are we getting married? Maybe Mark is only asking so to pretend that he is commiting. Relationships: The Effect of the Ex-Wife was mentioning something about that and ho-

12:17am: Was Mark telling me to put down journal and sleep, as have very busy day tommrow, although he didn't say what. Was distracted by him groping my ass to pay attention. Oofmph!
