Trip to Essex
Been quite busy since i last checked in. Spent 5-6 days milling around Birmingham, Essex, London, you name it, along with some dissertation work and a bit of normal work on the side.
On last Thursday, i went straight from work to Frans in Birmingham which took 2 hours and wasnt really that bad of a trip. Once we got there, i bought some more new clothes, had a nandos (With Fran obviously!) and pottered around before heading home. On the Friday we got the train to Billericay (Essex) via London, which was hectic and i ended up damaging the tendons in my shoulder lugging Frans suitcase around somehow! That Friday we had dinner with Frans mum before heading out into Chelmsford with Frans friends, her brother and Fran for her friends night out which was a good laugh although it was rather busy and a queue for the toilets at the mens (southerners!). Pottered home around 1am to the blow up bed of dreams ![]()
On Saturday, we went with Frans dad and his girlfriend to Cambridge for 5 hours which was fun, walked around the parks – saw the sights, had lunch in a nice pub although i had a pie where the pie was empty and the filling was on the plate :s The drive was brutal as it was nearly 2 hours each way, so that night we took it easy and had a few drinks at her dads place before heading home to sleep.
On Sunday we went to Lowestoft which is apparently the most easterly point in England to see her grandparents, had a sunday roast and generally milled around. That night we went to pub with Frans friends for a few drinks and found the best bitter ever – Doom Bar, definitely need to find another pint of that again.
The Monday we went to her OTHER grandparents in Brentwood for another Sunday roast, before dossing around the rest of the day as i was bloody exhausted. That night me and Fran made bangers and mash for everyone which was goooood ![]()
Tuesday we made our way to brum, and we had to sit on the train next to the most unruly kids and their retarded “we are everything wrong with Britain today” parents – fffff never mind. Headed home on Wednesday morning to go to work and ive been doing university work ever since – poor me.
On a side note, i bought the Belkin TuneSync iphone dock which is amazingly good value for £10.00!
