First trip to Manchester 2018

Evening all!!!

I am back from up north!!

Saturday 
I got up at 6:30am for a shower and got ready 
it took me the full time til leaving at 8:10am to actually be ready!
mad dash!
my dad kindly dropped us off at the station

we boarded the train and got our reserved seats
for the announcer to say "could those in the last two carriages move to the front two due to a light failer" so basically our carriage became rammed literally it was as loud as a cinema and rammed like an indian train it was chaos and i hated it

we arrived in manchester it was drizzling
i found out hotel and we were able to go straight to our room so early!
our room was lovely and had a bath!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we ditched our stuff and went out to find something for lunch
we headed for Afflex palace - our usual place
as its full of independent traders, things change a lot
so our usual cafe had gone and a Vegan Cafe had opened
as we didnt want to venture in the rain we went there
and the service was great and cheap food to as usually vegan places rip you off
i had butternut squash soup as i love that, mia very sensibly ordered "all day breakfast"
i said "youve ordered an all day breakfast in a VEGAN cafe"
she was like "yeah.....ohhhh...yeah" the penny dropped XD
she stuck with it and enjoyed it so that was good

we shopped round afflex and it was a good to have a hunt round
it had stopped raining by the time we had finished in there but before we left
we had our usual ice cream i had the flavour 'peanut butter salted caramel'

jesus it was diabetic but good
we walked outside and did the shops around - independent ones rather than chain
i picked up a few bits so did mia

we dropped our stuff off at the hotel
had a half hour rest and freshen up and went in search of food!
we looked round for 45mins to be told everywhere "sorry 30min wait"
in the end we were so fed up and didnt care where or what we ate
we checked Pizza hut and they said "5-10min wait" so we actually went pizza hut!!!
of all places! we shared a barbecue pizza and both really really enjoyed it
we left there and went to a dessert place and ordered 'white chocolate cookie dough'
a slab each and i had custard with mine
we took it to the room and ate our ecstasy  there 
i cant tell you how freakin good it was 
i couldnt bare to think of the calories i was consuming
i didnt finish it all but saved it

i had a bath then went bed 
i didnt sleep too bad even with mia farting in bed -____-

sunday! today!
we woke up at 7:30am and mia isnt a morning person
i got up and showered and got ready basically
we left in search of breakfast
we had it in an independent place to make up for eating in a chain this morning
i had 'rubard and strawberry crumble porriage' which i thought it ether gonna be amazing or awful luckily it was amazing and i ate it all mia had salmon and scrambled egg on toast 

we popped to a could of shops to pick up final bits then caught the train
mia left me at the train station to meet Rob who had come to town and had the house key
so if i dropped mia off home she couldnt get in! so she went to meet him
i met my parents and came home with them

i had some soup and bread
showed mum my purchases and popped them away
they are:

a llama glasses case £6 for dad for his birthday i shall tuck away

a birthday card for my brother i couldnt resist

my favourite incense sticks reduced to £1

a Hell Bunny apron reduced to £4.70 I was gonna get the black but chose blue im gonna wear at an accessory rather than an apron

a t-shirt reduced to £4.99 i had one similar and love it

a cardigan £8 to go with the dress i am gonna wear to the wedding, i guessed the colour would match and it is perfect, and my necklace arrived in the post yesterday so i have the complete outfit finished for £15 (not including hair, tights and shoes)



As you can see I didnt go mental, there was a lot more i could have brought but just knew i didnt need it so i just left it really

Mia had given me 2 bags full of clothes she no longer wants
usually i keep a fair bit but stuff didnt fit it was too loose on me
i kept a pair of dungarees to do up but thats it

ive been with Oz really since bless him
hes missed me ^^ i missed him too and home and adam
even tho i was only gone a day i was still happy to come back 
it was enough couldnt have shopped another day

tomorrow i might do some doodling or something
