I was discussing this with her yesterday morning actually and it involves Ibiza

Neither Lu or myself were in a very good place when we met for the first time, i was a couple of months away from walking out on my 7 year relationship and she had followed her boyfriend to Australia with the plan to emigrate only to be dumped the day she arrived (he had met someone else while she sorted some last minute bits in the UK) She joined the company i worked for because she wanted to do landscape design and we got on really well and did a lot of work together and i bored her to death with various tales of my 12 visits to Ibiza because she had never been. Fast forward 3 months and i'm single again and living in my new place and we started socialising outside work and unbeknown to me she quite likes me but i didn't have a clue. She stayed over at mine a couple of times after some boozy nights but nothing really happened and after a heart to heart i said i wasn't ready for a relationship and we sort of drifted apart for a bit. 5 months later i got offered a new job so i moved out the area and we text each other occasionally and meet up for beers and one day i had a brainwave. "Let's go on holiday to Ibiza" We have both had a crap year and i thought we could go away and have a laugh together. She said no because she was still keen on me (i had no idea) but i was determined and gradually i broke her down

She kept saying she couldn't go... couldn't afford it blah blah blah so i booked a 2 week holiday and told her the following week
July 2010 and after taking her to Cream for the first time on our first night (she was dumbstruck) and then a private beach party with A&B the following night we decided to have a couple of quiet nights and after a chilled out day by the pool and a few cocktails the inevitable happened

It was my birthday the night Spain won the World Cup and we had gone for a meal and were watching the game in San Antonio square and i looked at her and said i want to keep doing this when we get home..... So went away as mates and gained a girlfriend and a best mate

That was just over 2 years ago and i drunkenly suggested moving in together this weekend and we are heading back to Ibiza for our 6th visit together in less than 3 weeks so all is good
