Oh Lord help me. This weekend I am meeting Burnley Boy's mother. I am totally petrified. I mean, she's probably a lovely lady, but I'm never going to be good enough for her baby am I?
BB thinks that, considering we have been dating for 50 weeks (he's actually counting), I should meet her. He met my parents ages ago, but they're cool parents, so I don't think that counts.
My biggest issue is what should I wear? I haven't had a great track record with mothers. Y's mother and I had an understanding (I hated her, I think she felt very much the same to the extent that I am still suspicious that she had something to do with our break-up, although frustratingly, I can't prove anything and nor do I really care anymore). For that meeting I went for Preppy (his Dad went to Cambridge and is some kind of Law Boffin. Equally annoyingly, I really liked him).
I clearly failed on that front, although I don't think I was ever unfortunate enough to get one of their "family nicknames" for outsiders. His elder sister's boyfriend was often referred to as "Bongo Billy" which I was always tremendously uncomfortable with. Luckily the poor boy was pushed out of the family in a similar way to the way that I later was.
So for meeting JJ's mother and father, I went for Sophisticated. This back fired as JJ's father seemed rather TOO impressed, if you catch my drift. His mother was lovely, although she did try to steal my full length Jasper Conran faux-fur winter coat.
I am thinking "Floral"? Or maybe Jeans and a top? I don't know!!! Help Me!!!
On top of all this, he has annouced that we should "do something" for our one year dating anniversary. I'm quite frankly amazed that he has even remembered. I wait with bated breath for his suggestion.
