Hi there, well what a fantastic weekend i have just had. I finished work at 6pm after a manic shift. I managed to practically finish training two of the stores shift runners at smack on 5pm. so thought i could actually finish on time. I then remembered that a new starter is having problems with his benefits and said i would help him sort them out, as his hours and pay are one of the problems. Ive never had to do anything like that before so it was a case of the blind leading the blind. Anyway we managed to get it sorted and gave him my mobile number incase the benefits people needed to ring me to confirm anything that i had filled in. I finally managed to leave the shop at 6pm. I didnt mind really as i then had three whole days off. I have been in London for the weekend as it was a shipmates birthday party. ( see oggs outpourings for details )
I got into Euston at about 4.30pm. The train from wolverhampton was absolutly packed, i dont think there was a seat empty. Anyway once in easton i had to then get to Ealing Brodway, again as it was friday teatime it was manic, but managed to arrive in good time. Friday evening all we did was veg out with an amazing takeaway ( arrived in 20mins, i was very impressed) and then picked up another shipmate from the train station. Saturday we had a lovely relaxing morning and then popped into town to pick up some stuff and get things ready for the party. I was going as a hippy. I managed to get myself a very hippy style top and me and mom turned a pair of jeans into really big flares. To complete my outfit, i was putting my hair into two pigtails and got some beige 'furry ball' bobbles to put them up with. I also managed to get some rather bold purple eyeshadow and mascara. The look was complete :)
We were just finishing getting ready and disaster struck.... I was making my way down the stairs and got to the last three steps and i slipped. i managed to stop myself from falling on my bum, but managed to bend my toes in a bizarre way. The result is now a purple swollen toe that i cant move :( oh well atleast it matched my eyeshadow lol
Anyway the party was ace and i finally got to bed at about 3.45am. I also managed to break my camera, there were some great pics on there, but hopefully i will be able to get some copies off people.
We all woke up quite early today and made it to church. It was a really good service and then we all went out for a pub lunch. My train home was at 4.35pm so had to then say goodbye to people. Got home at about 8.15pm as i didnt realise it was a longer journey on a sunday. Ive spent the rest of this evening unpacking and relaxing, then im back at work tomorrow, im looking forward to wednesday when its my day off so i can catch up on some sleep.
night all xxx
