Then to Xan to tutor which went ok. Then to the girls for Halloween.

I also received confirmation of the pattern cutting job (yay me! 
)
Date with David was ok.. Again, no food. Does this guy think I don't eat?? We didn't make it to the jazz place as it was Halloween so they changed the schedule. Instead we met at a place near Bank, The London Stone. The music was great, if a tad too loud for chatting.. The drinks ok. The evening only got better as the drinks kicked in (he's so serious and earnest ) and of course as we started to chat more 'naturally' I had a call from Rodrigo. Which I couldn't answer as I was on a date. So I surreptitiously silenced it. And waited. Then my phone beeped with a voicemail. Which I also silenced. Then I kept looking at my phone surreptitiously! David was seemingly unaware, kept chatting about a movie scene he had seen and this band he had heard, and this poet he'd read.. Essentially he was just telling me things that we had discussed on previous dates! Then he put his glass on the table and crashed it into my untouched wine glass. Glass everywhere. Of course he was apologetic, but I was more happy thinking that last orders had been called so he couldn't replace it, and I had a train (and voicemail) to catch!
I shall admit something here to you, my Dukan friends. The idea behind me continuing to see David was to ensure I did not get so excited about Rodrigo. If that makes sense. Rodrigo is not my 'usual type'! He is different. Very different. When I am around him I am nervous. And excited. And full of anticipation, I don't get those feelings with David. And I often find my mind wandering. Humph.. He really would be a great 'bloke' friend, but anything more? Not so! However, this evening it became very clear that he did not feel quite so platonically towards me.
Now, to the voicemail.. Leading up to it, I messaged Rodrigo 'happy Halloween' to which he replied:
Let's go get some treats this weekend! X x
I've been upgraded in the 'x' department since our dancing date!
I left it MANY hours until I asked:
Now that sounds like a plan! So, where and when shall we go find these treats? I've managed to head out and enjoy some rather old school music at a Halloween themed bar - quite fun! Hope your Halloween night was fun? x
Well... That's when the call / voicemail came through..
Essentially, 'Hey it's me. Happy Halloween, the party is Saturday night, it's Jack the Ripper themed so we need to dress from the book, let me know when you want to come over to get ready! We'll need to get some bits too! Ok. Speak soon!'
I am of course grinning madly!
I also find it curious that I am the girl who had FOUR guys to date and within a period of a couple of weeks has managed to get it down to one that I WANT to date.. Hmmmm...
So, now an update on the Rusky situation..
I updated her via text on Tuesday pm before she left, re my pattern cutting opportunity. I heard nothing until the morning she flew, Wednesday. She had no wish to know anything about the opportunity if it concerned Moira. (Moira is my fashion mummy the way Liliane is my Dukan mummy!) They had a big falling out, essentially as Moira had severe tendinitis and was due to see a surgeon the day after Rusky went and bombarded her with demands. Moira has since attempted to talk things through, Rusky refuses to respond.
So, I have been unduly informed that if anything in my life relates to Moira, she has no wish to know about it and I am to keep silent. WTF? This is a woman aged 35 who seems to believe it is ok to treat friends this way! I have been so incredibly supportive of her during the break up / on again / off again situation with her OH, I've WASTED numerous hours helping her as she GUILTS me and MANIPULATES me and then she throws this amazing opportunity back at me saying my achievement is tarnished if it is to do with Moira and that she hopes the same bad luck does not befall me that befell her. OH MY GOODNESS!!! Women are such pains in the butts! Seriously! All the melodrama, all the sniping, and bitching and narking.. Stabbing in the back, taking away the joy, SUCKING AWAY THE OXYGEN..!
I had booked my flight for NYE last week, to see her and Leyah in Minsk, so they would not be alone. This is the act of friendship. And the thanks I receive is an email this evening:
"hey dear
send me my birthday photos will you?"
I don't think it is possible to describe here how angry and upset I am with her. My life after she left was so filled with exciting and happy things, I am SO confident and thriving and bubbly and loving life.. She comes back for a week and I become this miserable, bitching, 'yes' person unable to stand up for herself! Argh!
So, I'm making a stand today. Flight cancelled. I will try to claim it back on my insurance. If not, well, better lost than go there and have to suffer a week of awfulness. I will no longer be made to feel the way that woman makes me feel. Eve is being super strong and saying no!
This morning when I told my flatmate about the date tomorrow she dragged out a box of fancy dress. We're thinking I can be one of the murdered women.. Rodrigo will most likely be Jack the Ripper. I've fake blood, a blond wig, a black wrap thing, white stockings trickled with blood.. I have an idea to wear a corset with a more frothy skirt, so it's slightly more Victorian.. Then I'm going to have a BIG RED SLASH on my neck, so it looks severed!
So, I have work first thing (Henry's pa STILL in Hospital) and from there I shall head to Victoria's Secret. When I lived in NYC I had the most amazing corset from Vicky's which I needed up giving to charity as I got big and it didn't fit. It would now be perfect but alas it is long gone. I shall see what they have! Then I shall meet Rrrrodrigo to get any other bits before we head to his to get ready.
I am super excited ladies, just in case it's not coming off in waves already!

GG: Thanks GG! The spooky outfit consisted of a long green maxi skirt (size 14 never worn and kept falling down - doh) paired with a drapey pleated black top my ma used to wear in the 80s. I've had it stashed in one of my drawers back home since I was about 20 but only wore it for the first time yesterday! The makeup was key to the transition.. And the footwear, funky sneakers during the day, boots for trick or treating and the date!
Lena: Thanks Lena! I've posted a link to the pic above!
Holly: Morning Holly! Pic link posted above!
Spacedew: Thanks for stopping by Spacedew! That's lovely of you to say so: when I waffle away I think of it as writing updates to those that started Dukan around the same time as me and forget that there are lots of newbies reading to see if the plan really works - so anyone looking for that will find it on my log, but also all my waffling as well, so as long as it's entertaining!
Team Rodrigo is gaining members it seems! Thanks for the info re debris too! Hope you Halloween plans were fun!
Re: the pastry. It was a cheat because I don't eat sugar. At all. Honey yes. Occasionally maple syrup. But any refined sugar is a no-no.. I've even found a fresh baked bread at wholefoods which is made with honey and not sugar, I can eat 5 slices and not gain an ounce. Sugar is my enemy! Thus the tart was a cheat..! It was a pecan and maple tart, but I'm certain there was sugar by the way my tummy felt afterwards. Anything without sugar I eat as much as I want, but what you will notice when you get to stabilisation is that you've successfully retrained yourself in appetite control / portion moderation. I ate 5 (small) slices of this bread yesterday as it was AMAZING and I was a) very hungry and b) enjoying it so much. I stopped only because I felt too full. Normally I would stop before that point (3 slices). I do with everything else, I have a 'stop now' switch inside me. That's why it is so crucial to follow the stages exactly, the Consol length is proportionate to the time it takes for you to reprogramme. Sorry, waffling on again!
Right'o.. I'm almost at work.. Phew! Will swing by your logs this morning! Mwah! X
