Saturday 9th August 10:30am
Looking forward to spending a week in Shrewsbury with Andrew and Sarah. On the way there now, the weather is looking pretty hairy, looks like a good decision to bring the PS3 and PSP!
Saturday 9th August 4:00pm
Just played golf for the first time in over a year, still as inconsistent as ever!
Had a good last 3 holes, the rest was shit!
Starving now, just about to get a chicken kebab and chips Mmmm ...
Monday 11th August 7:15am
This morning I'm feeling the effects of last nights bowling and a little too much alcohol. My limbs ache and my head hurts but we had a great night!
During the day we took a walk around town and went to the supermarket to get some food and drink then came home to have some lunch. We just chilled for a little while, playing the PSP and laughing at videos on You Tube, before having some dinner and heading out to the bowling alley.
Much to mine and Sarah's disappointment my brother was pretty good and won all but one game, we're not taking him in future! We then went into the arcade area where I played Deal or No Deal and beat the banker! £50,000 I won, shame it was only in the form of a slip of paper! I then went into one of those booths where your picture is taken and the machine draws a sketch of you. It was a funny experience and the result was a Leonardo original which I'm sure will fetch millions at auction in a few hundred years time! Before leaving I managed to waste £5 on one machine trying to win myself a Nintendo DS but to no avail, I trudged off a beaten man.
When we got back we sat in the kitchen drinking, laughing and attempting to play Brain Challenge on the iPod whilst under the influence, I've not laughed so much in a long time.
Today we're off to Birmingham for the day to do a little shopping, thinking about it, I'd better go get ready.
Tuesday 12th August 7:00am
This morning I've woken up to rain, lots and lots of rain. I ask myself, why do I always wake up so early when I don't have to?! Laying here (with Nirvana playing in my ears) I've been thinking about moving here, what it would be like and the people I'll be leaving behind...
Birmingham wasn't as good as I'd remembered it. I still managed to spend about £70 though so it wasn't all that bad! I got myself a new pair of jeans for our work night out, a game for my PSP and the complete series of The Office (English version). When we got back I set up the PS3 (not as easy as it sounds believe me!) and played Buzz TV which is a party game in the form of a game show. It was good fun although I'm not sure Andrew and Sarah thought so as I whooped them both in all three games! Go me, the Buzz TV Champion!
I can still hear the rain coming down outside, I think we'll be having a day at home today. Tonight we're going out for an Indian and some drinks for one of their friends' birthday's, I think we all plan on getting quite a bit drunk!
Wednesday 13th August 8:40am
We had a great time last night. We went to a couple of pubs before going into town to an Indian restraunt where we had a really good laugh. After that we went up to a bar in town and had some more drinks and played a pub quiz. Their friends are really nice people, I got on really well with my brothers friend Tom. I think I'm one of the gang now!
When we got home we talked about me moving here and formulated a plan! I'm really excited!
The day itself seemed to zoom by. We had a nice breakfast in the morning and then went out to a retail park where I got myself a new pair of white Addidas sneaks, some cargo trousers and a zip up hoody. I think I've reached the limit of my spending this holiday, I don't wanna check my bank balance!
This was probably my favourite day so far just because I had so much fun last night. I think we're going out for the day today although it's getting close to 9 and nobody's up yet!
Thursday 14th August 8:15pm
Yesterday we went to Chester Zoo for the day. We had great weather and had a nice time walking around looking at the animals although some of them were hiding from everyone, can hardly blame them really!
In the evening I ordered us some pizza from Domino's. I can't believe how much we ate! We had two large pizza's, some chicken and some potato wedges. We were well and truly stuffed and fell asleep shortly afterwards.
Today we've had a lazy day, we're all feeling pretty tired and are planning a long night Friday so needed the rest. Sarah's just fixing us some spagetti bolognaise for dinner. I'm feeling a little sad that tomorrow will be my last full day here before heading home on Saturday but I'm gonna enjoy what's left.
Saturday 16th August 2:30pm
We're on our way back now, I've had the best time over the last week and I really don't want to go back to normal life again. This feeling sucks but l'm looking at my return as a temporary thing before I do move. In a way that makes me feel better.
We had a very late night last night, chatting, drinking and playing Buzz TV. I had way too much to drink as did most of us and I'm paying for it this morning. So much so that I had to text Anya and tell her I won't be going out to our work 'thing' tonight. I feel bad as I was looking forward to it but I just don't feel up to it, I'm very new at this! She was dissappointed but said she was also quite proud of me! LOL. I'm sure there'll be other opportunities for us to go out.
For the last three days of my holiday I plan on getting A LOT of rest as it's back to work on Tuesday and I don't want to go back feeling like I need a break to get over the break! LOL.
