The Plumber

Some of you noticed that I mentioned a new Boy in my last post

So I guess I better explain

Just so you know

The new boy 

Who from here on in shall be known as The Plumber

Has absolutely nothing to do The Boy

Who is no longer part of my life

As you know

I have a neighbour who I do little jobs for

I'm over in her house a few times a week

A couple of months ago 

She told me about her plumber

And that he was a lovely guy

And very attractive

I hadn't seen him

So I paid little attention to it

But then last week

He was back at my neighbours house

Honey and Lea were out in the garden

Barking their heads off

So I went out to see what the commotion was

It was The Plumber

I apologised to him

And brought the dogs in

He said not to worry

I didn't get a proper look at him

But I did notice that he was tall and well built with dark hair

I went back inside

And didn't give it another thought

The following morning

I was over in my neighbours house

Chatting to my neighbour

She asked me if I had seen The plumber 

I said I'd had a quick look at him

My neighbour had a mischievous look on her face

As she told me that she had done a little investigation work

She proceeded to tell me that she had asked this guy was married

He said he wasn't 

Or if he has a girlfriend 

He hasn't 

He then asked her what was with all the questions

She told him that she was asking for a 'friend'

I was mortified that she had done this

She then told me that The Plumber said to her that he is approachable

What does that mean people????

My neighbour was having a great laugh to herself telling me all of this

She thought herself especially funny when she told me that he might let me 'hold his pliers'

I want to say I was shocked when she said this 

But I wasn't 

She is always up to mischief

I left my neighbours

And headed home

Where I told my mum and sister what had happened

They thought it was hilarious

And got great mileage out of it slagging me off

Telling me that he can 'fix my pipes' and the like ........

Now everytime I put nice clothes on

Or put make up on

They're all 'Is that for the Plumbr?'

I wish I'd kept my mouth shut

Anyway

That's the story behind that

I'm not really looking for love

If it happens

Well and good

But I  happy enough the way things are

I mean I haven't even had a proper look at this guy

I wouldn't be able to pick him out in a line up

I guess it's of my neighbour

But I don't know if she's doing it for her own amuse  

Or if she really is trying to set me up

I am going to be so embarrassed if I see this guy again

As I'm pretty sure he will figure out who my neighbour was talking about

It's been so long since I had a boyfriend

I mean it's almost been a decade since I was in a relationship

I guess I've been too busy trying to kill myself

I forget what it's like to be someone's girlfriend

I was speaking with my sister the other day

She is a seriel monogomoust

Bouncing from relationship to relationship

She tells me that she doesn't like being alone

Where as I don't mind it so much

I mean I can't imagine sharing a bed with someone 

Having to turn off the light when they want to

Having them hog the duvet

I have a double bed

And I like to sleep diagonally across it

So there's not much room for anyone else

I suppose it's been so long since I've shared my life with someone

And you don't miss what you don't have

But I will keep my eye out for The Plumber.....
