I miss you

After going slightly stir crazy over the last few days, I decided to venture into town. Unfortunately "The Arndale" does not have much to offer and with next to nothing in my purse, I did not have high hopes. My brothers girlfriend works in a charity shop so I headed over hoping she had found some nice pieces. I was in luck, the rails were full of amazing jumpers and blouses. I could have bought it all, but unfortunately I really was that poor so decided to get two spring style jumpers. With my purse now empty but my bags full, I set off home to find our hairdresser was round. She tidied my messy locks up a treat. It was shaping up to be a good day.
I had no plans or money for the rest of the day. I was starting to feel agitated again. I didn't think I could take another night in. Luckily my dear friend Robin got in touch to save the evening. We roped Becky in on our plan. My evening suddenly went from average, bordering on bleak, to exciting times with old friends. I hadn't seen Becky since January and it had been nearly a year since I had seen Robin. I could not wait, it was the pick me up I was desperately needing. We met at "The Park" but sadly Robin had forgot his ID so we ended up at "The Horse Shoes". An old Irish bar, a favorite amongst alcoholics and the underaged. On a tight budget, we settled for very cheap rose and caught up on the university antics we had all got up to. After two bottles of wine we were nearly all out of money. Bearing this in mind, we decided to go to Antonio's party. We pit stopped at an off license to grab some Lambrini, this really was a budget evening.

The evening was all I could have wanted. An unexpected night out turned into an evening with lots of old and new friends, filled with nostalgia and summer plans. It's nights like this that truly make me grateful for the friends I have. I will always cherish the moments when Becky and I sit in my living room at 4:00 am discussing the evening events and the most likely prospect that Becky will have work in around four hours time. The head ache the next morning will always be worth it for moments like these.
