Fun with bubbles!
Mar. 5th, 2004 10:14 amLast night I had a nice bath in [Lush Mar Bar] ( And meltie took photos )
[I wrote this last night]
While I'm waiting for the bleach on my head to kill all semblance of colour [and moisture] from my head, I'll tell you about my ace weekend.
Saturday morning I woke up bright and early with a song in my heard and a smile on my face. It was at that moment that I realised I had to go to work. Bum. Even though I get to work with one of the most gorgeous women in the whole world as my Manager, [
ladyserpentine] and my new Deputy Manager always has some drama with which we pass the day, I still have to deal with old ladies that smell like wee and awkward people that believe it is their god-given right to have access to anything that we've ever sold, ever or then again things that we've never even sold.
Work passed quickly and once joined by
meltie we kidnapped
ladyserpentine and went off to the nearest bar where I drunk [Liefmans Kriekbier] [pic] that had been recommended to us by
tomb_bat. I do highly reccomend it to anyone that sees it, although it is a bit pricey. After that
meltie and I went to the curry house that adjoins Flames, and had a mediocre curry. We'll stick to the burgers from there from now on, and just order a delivery curry.
Sunday morning we woke up even brighter and earlier than I did on Saturday so that we could catch the 8:32 train from Leeds to Birmingham New Street. As we walked down to the train station there were more people about that there usually is when I walk to work on a saturday! When we came to get on the train there were no names on the carriages, and we assumed that as it was a Sunday morning we wouldn't be in any problem regarding seats. Not so. The train was full by the time it reached Sheffield, and the for the two stops after that people had to stand. Luckily meltie and I had booked, but were not sat in our seats. The people that had them reserved [for the same journey as us, actually] never turned up to claim them, so we can only assume that they sat in ours.
Once at Birmingham New Street, and with an hour to kill we went to WH Smith and I bought a whole load of Crap Mags [Bizarre, The National Enquirer and The Sunday Mirror]. I'm sure that there was a picture of
_yunkfuktoi_ in Bizarre on page 37, and I was right. The train to Worcester was very uneventful, and we arrived safe and sound in Worcester,
orddu picked us up in the car and took us to Tesco, where I obtained some [Babycham] to protect me from the inevitable badness that awaited me inamongst the furry things at the house.
When we got there,
remmie was there, with
beermat and
mindygoth. They had just finished watching an episode of The Office [thank god] and we settled around a table to play [Munchkin] which I didn't really understand, but I won!! haha! After which we watched the last episode of the Office and then played [Aquarius] and [Ice House].
Dinner was burgers [Mushroom and Pepper, Chilli Con Carne and Normal burgers] with potato wedges and mushrooms!! *(^__^)* We then watched [Office Space] which I didn't really like, and went to bed. As I went to the bathroom to get ready,
meltie was up to something, and as we turned out the lights he opened a cupboard to reveal a MOFO GLOW IN THE DARK GIRAFFE!!! >___<
After a nice sleep, [I say nice, I had to wake up a few times to make sure that the 'raffe was in the same place, and not trying to eat me] we got up and left :) As we were travelling around Birmingham anyway to get to the M1, I asked
beermat niceley if we could call in at my house, and he said yes! So after calling my mum and she cancelled her eye-test appointment for me, we arrived in Fradley so that we could raid the fridge and eat poptarts. Yum. I get homesick a lot, so that was a very welcome visit to my house.
Back on the road and it didn't take long to get back to the house. Beermat had to get back to Stafford so he went home and we collapsed but had a nice dinner of Pie that I'd yoinked from my mum.
