I'm home from Birmingham!
A city i have never been too~~
So yesterday I got up and ready and went to Jacks for 9:30am
safe to say he wasnt ready and was still having breakfast...
still our train wasnt until 11am so i wasnt stressing at him
i know my presence motivates him, as he, and I quote "dont want to die" XD
we got the train just fine
and arrived in birmingham
it was certainly a bigger city centre than mine!
my god it was big, i mean ive been london and thats another world
but this place was just big really
we looked round shops and found a really cheap market
so i picked up shed loads of nail varnish
then a metre of bunny fabric for £2, hair bows £1 each, hair clip for 70p
just really cheap. We found the legendary Tokyo Toys shop
well i found it as jack was too busy playing pokemon go
so he brought his first ever plush, a Snorlax
and i got an anime wristband i dont like "Free" but i liked the wrist band
we found a park and walked round that
we had tea, toastie, white chocolate crepe, bubble tea during the day
i was quite done in simply because i was having knee issues....
yep my knee isnt right
and i sat on a wall and swung it and put my finger on the joint and could feel it slotting in and out i let jack feel and he was seriously freaked out and said "why didnt you say it was THAT bad!?" how are you not in more pain!?" i was like "its fine honestly, besides if it was you, you'd want to keep going right?" he said "yeah but id be complaining a lot more"
i took a load of painkillers from a chemist and kept going but i could tell it wasnt right
we eventually found the bloody bus stop for his nan's house
and got off the hot noisy bus and walked to his nan's
she was like there waiting for us XD
it was so nice of her to let us stay cus i mean ive only met her once!
one of the first things she said was "theres two rooms, you can share with jack or have you own room i dont mind what you do"
i replied with "wow. if that was my gran id have to be married to jack for at least 10 years before id be allowed to share a room with him"
she thought i had found it offensive but i wasnt offended i was simply impressed that she was able to move on with the times instead of my old fashioned grandparents
she was apologising and stuff bless her XD
we had a tea and jack made me ice pack my leg >.>
hated drawing attention to myself like that but his nan was like "he just cares" >.> still
we waited for his family to show up so we could get to the social club where the party was taking place that evening
they pulled up and i could tell when they were in as his sisters are so noisy XD
we arrived at the social club and my god, the amount of people that had gathered for this aunt's 60th birthday was immense
i cant tell you how many people i was introduced to do
it was insane
i mean who even has 3rd cousins!? i have COUSINS not 3RD cousins
there must have been easily over 50 people there
i was just drinking water as i wasnt bothered about drinking but jack's dad had ordered me, rather randomly, a gin and tonic. never had that before. i drank it
i spoke to his eldest cousin who has known him since he was born
and she was amazing so was her husband
i went outside a few times
cus it was so freaking noisy in there and warm
jack introduced me and everyone was really nice and i heard the phrase "your punching above your weight arent you?" more than a few times XD god knows what hopes they had for jack's love life
and i wasnt bored exactly it was more a case of being tired and not knowing how to be around it all. ive never had to experience any of that. i can count my family members on my fingers and we never ever have parties or anything. so it was all so different for me
one time i walked out to find out jack's nan's friend leaving she was elderly and i talked to her for a bit and then i walked to her to her car as it was dark and im a good citizen like that
i came round the corner and jack was there and asked me where id been i told him i helped an old lady to her car but he found that suspicious and didnt believe me XD
my head was a bit of a mess and i was so tired and my leg was killing me
but i never once complained
i just kept taking breathers
sometimes jack came to find me but i kinda didnt want him to trouble himself over me
his mum found me and asked if i was alright then his nan came and his mum walked off leaving his nan to say probably the most harrowing thing of the night
"thats your potential mother in law and im your potential grandmother in law. life doesnt get any worse than that does it?" i about fell through the floor
ive only met her twice, ive been going out with jack 3 months now! talk about jump the gun
i played around with his sisters and spoke to people
it was a good evening just tiring
it finished thank god at 12:30pm
we got a lift from jacks step dad to his nans
his nan went straight to bed
i on the other hand had other plans
ice pack, pain killers, and wanting to die
i was horrific pain
jack asked if he could help but he couldnt really
we got ready for bed i chose to share a room with him
a room with 2 single beds
i had to borrow a pair of jacks pajamas as i had forgotten mine...
they were soooo comfy tho ^^
i told jack what his nan said about being my future grandmother in law he could not believe she had said that and was like "thanks nan thanks for wrecking my relationship" i just laughed. he was like "i guess youll be leaving me now youve seen all that, all that embarrassment. can you see why i didnt want to you to meet my family?" bless him he was worried. and seemed to think id run a mile
to be honest a lot of people at the party said how well i was doing with it all and found it weird why i wasnt running away XD
i climbed into my bed, cold and aching
he said to come over to his bed but i said its a single, no room and im fidgeting
in the end i went over for a warm and fell asleep
next thing i knew it was morning and he was in the other bed!
i slept so well i didnt even notice him leaving!
we were both tired
and had breakfast then said bye to his nan and went back to birmingham city centre
he got up google maps to find the train station i told him to put it away as i knew the way he was surprised by that and envied my confidence
i found the way easily
i have such a good sense of direction for some reason
we got the train home which was awful as there was a stag due on our coach and they were so loud, drinking and saying the F word in every sentence
i almost got up and said "there are kids on this coach you know" but i couldnt be bothered to waste my breath on them
we got back to nottingham and to jack's
i left him playing pokemon go with theo whilst i sorted stuff out then i came home
i got home and showered and got in my pajamas despite it being 3:30pm
i just thought "sod it im tired and pleasing no one"
i have been working on my quilt since, spending time with Oz and talking with mum
just tired
might do a bit of dancing in my room tho
my knee is bad....i am concerned as it feels more like my ligaments than joints
and its the leg i tore my ligament in years ago
ill see how it goes
tomorrow i am working on and hopefully finishing the quilt
to say i was only making it to use up my scraps it certainly has taken time and money!
bloody thing
and i might draw
then im sleeping at jacks as it will be the first of my new shifts
im glad i have met jack's family i mean theres still technically more to meet as i havent met his dad or brother or half siblings
everyone really liked me and his cousin even sent a text saying how nice i was ^^
guess its another milestone done
dont know if he will ever meet the other 4 members of my family
when people at the party asked "so do you come from a big family?" and i reply "theres 8 of us" everyone was really surprised. we are a dying breed i guess XD
glad ive done it tho
i enjoyed it
even if it was a lil daunting
