Right then, I couldn’t decide what to wear for this Halloween party tonight so my friend came to the rescue by offering me her “devil dress” that she got in Asda recently for about a tenner.

I’ve not clapped eyes on it yet – she’s dropping it over to me in a bit. But if it’s hideous on me I’m afraid I’ll have to attend the party as my sweet (!) self.

I’ve no back up plan

I don’t have a back up costume as I’ve been so busy over the past couple of days that I wasn’t able to put a massive effort into the hunt for the perfect outfit.

So it looks like I’m going to be some sort of she-devil or just me.

I had to laugh at Magnolea’s story of how he once hooked up with a crazy 43-year-old Swedish woman.

I particularly loved the bit about how she spent so long hanging around his apartment the following day that he ended up missing the first half of the Heineken Cup final. Too funny!

When is a good time to leave?

I think that’s a big issue when two people get together and one of them overnights in the other’s place. How long should the visiting person stay the next day?

I mean, running out of there first thing in horror, leaving skid marks behind you is a bit rude, no matter how much you regret the tryst.

But spending half the day the day there is nearly worse!

I have mates who’ve been stuck in scenarios like that and have had to go to great lengths to get rid of their “guests”.

Excuses, excuses…

One of them pretended she had to work (it was a Saturday morning) and went so far as to call a cab, get into it and tell the driver to take her around the block and back home as soon as the coast was clear.

Another one feigned a trip to the gym – she got out her gear and all, despite her massive hangover.

Thankfully I’ve never had to concoct any tales to get rid of someone, although I did once score with a guy who then left in the middle of the night so we could avoid the embarrassing bit the next morning.

His words, not mine. And yes, this was not one of my finer moments.

I should start getting ready

Anyway, I’d better get my skates on and start getting ready for the party – well, as soon as the dress arrives, that is.

I’ve got some hot red lipstick on hand to go with my devilish demeanour so hopefully I’ll pull off the sexy (but not slutty) vibe that I’m aiming for.

And if not, hey at least I tried. In the meantime, happy Halloween everyone!
