I would say that last night was a success.

After feeling rather sick all week at the thought of spending a night out with him, his friends, and his ex, she stayed out of our way and his friends were all really nice to me. Even the couple of friends that I have been a bit funny with him lately, so I think it went rather well overall!

I did try and befriend the ex when she was in the toilets at the same time as me, she was talking to her friend about x factor and I thought I would jump in there and try to contribute to the conversation. She was having none of it, but hey, its her problem. After everything she's done I think its rather good of me to be nice to her!

The cake was a success, it didn't taste too great but Manc loved the weebl and bob decoration. He also loved his presents, especially Family Guy monopoly. Though I have warned him that if we break up I am so taking that back! Which he is rather sensitive about after losing quite a lot of his stuff to his ex!

So yes, the weekend so far has been good. We are going out with some of his friends tonight, for a meal and a few drinks. 2 of them were there last night (including the girl that has been a bit funny) and 4 of them I've not met yet.

Oh and we are going to New York! Not booked it yet but we are hoping to book it soon and go in February. Though given both our histories I am a little concerned. I got dumped before a holiday, then got back with him and dumped him after a holiday. He dumped a girlfriend right after a holiday and was going to dump the ex but was holding on because they had planned to go to Mexico. Which was then cancelled due to pig flu.

So I'm a little concerned that its going to happen again and he will dump me after the holiday! or before! Hey, he's got previous, its kind of understandable.

But we are getting on rather well, so I'm really hoping New York will happen and it will all be great. Fingers crossed.
