Miss KP, where to begin!?

I met KP in the first year at secondary school when we were 11, by the age of 12 we were best friends (it wasn’t always so peachy).

At 14 we (the entire bad crowd, not just the 2 of us) were already going out to bars and clubs (this isn’t as bad as you would think as our legal drinking age is 18 – we looked older than we should’ve). Also, our parents were aware and as long as we were at the pick-up point at the time they told us to be everything was good. Ok, so you may think our parents were irresponsible, but actually we were quite a sensible group and only did what we wanted to do – we weren’t the easily lead type! Plus, for my parents anyway, they had tried everything in their power to sort out my sisters crazy behaviour and none of it had worked so I think when it came to me they figured they were better off to keep me on side.

Anyway, our parents pretty much let us do as we pleased (I think this must’ve been agreed between them) but there was always a condition or constraint (i.e. you can go out but we will pick you up at such and such a time).

…and so, the debauchery began

KP and I both lost our v-plates (much the same as “l-plates” but not for driving) before we hit 15, yes pretty young! Looking back it was pretty bad and I definitely wouldn’t want a child of mine (not that I currently have any) – it wasn’t particularly glamorous.

Ahh, I have this terrible habit of going off in a totally different direction! We’ll get back to the “first time” another day when I have nothing to blog about! I’ve also developed a terrible habit of turning posts into novels! I wonder how many posts I need to do for my writing to actually be novel-esque!?

Ok, back to KP

KP was, and is, a serial dater. Growing up she had 1 main boyfriend, we’ll call him Burt. They were forever breaking up and getting back together again. On reflection they were really bad for each other! In between broken up episodes KP had numerous boyfriends, flings or whatever you want to call them. KP and Burt broke up for good when she moved to Sheffield for uni after school (N.B he was 3 years older than her, in a dead-end job and going nowhere fast – but he was a lovable rogue!). A couple of years later we discovered he had in fact had a baby with someone else whilst with KP – that definitely took a reunion off the cards!

Long story short

KP moved to London to work for an international foreign language school (she speaks fluent Spanish and French) a couple of years ago, following a promotion she is now in charge of one of their UK schools and is due to move to her new city this week!!

Sorry for all the rambling – I’m just trying to do a quick recap on the past (but for me quick turns to slow and dragged out quite easily – must improve!) so I can cut to the present without having to do a lot of backtracking!!
