Back to Reality

So, I’m back again. Back to my boring, non-working, non-money having life in Weston… joy.

I have to say though, I’ve had a lovely weekend; obviously, I got to see Tom!!! I had a great night out on Friday (when I finished my epic day of travelling - two cars, two coaches and two trains!!! AND an interview!) with Tom and some of his friends from home. Then there was the wedding on Saturday (I almost cried at the service!) which was great except I had the mother of all headaches (somewhere between a hangover, a migraine and an overweight rhino sat on my head!) but Tom’s Mam has been feeding and looking after me, as usual!

I’ll miss being at home though, it was lovely to spend so much time with my Mam - and I got to spend time with Rachel, Mel and Zoe, who I never see!

Moving on though, I’m starting a diet today GOD HELP ME!) which should give the old self-esteem a good kick up the backside!

Also, I’m moving into my new house on Friday, which I’m VERY excited about --- I will really miss living in the Alex though; we’ve had some amazing times here this year!

Right, I’m off to Tesco!

Love xoxo

Back in the Costa Del Sunderland...

So, I’m back in Sunderland for a while (until Friday) and I’m rather enjoying myself so far; I’ve been to a fancy dress party, see face book for the photos (LOL), I’ve caught up with some friends, been on my dad’s motorbike (it’d been SUCH a long time!) and spent sometime with my lovely mother! Thankfully, she’s got this week off so we can have “girly time!”.



I have to say, I haven’t missed the “locals” of my hometown. I know that is a contradiction in terms, as I am obviously a local myself , HOWEVER; I AM NOT THE SCUM OF THE EARTH!!! I’d been in Sunderland for approximately four minutes when I was blessed with a Chav Attack; three or four under-dressed, pre-pubescent tramps swearing and gesturing at my Dad. This is after THEY had taken three hours to cross the road. Imbeciles!



Anyway, I’m missing Tom a lot; we speak and text all the time but its not really the same is it? Anyway, I’ve vowed to get him a present with “Sunderland” on it - I’ve no idea what it’ll be yet!



It seems I’ve come home at a good time for one of my friends, who recently lost his Nan; so to be as supportive as he was to me when I lost my Gran is nice. That’s probably the thing I like most about coming home; the proof that no matter how long I’ve not seen my best friends, as soon as we’re together, its like we were never apart.



I’m looking forward to this weekend (NOT the 9 hour trip back to Weston though!); I’ve got an interview for The Works (who I honestly thought had forgotten about my application), I’m going to Tom’s cousin’s wedding on Saturday and then getting back to Weston on Sunday. Happy days :)



Love xoxo
