The lack of updating has been because I have had a little holiday. It was a holiday that almost never happened though!
As I walked home from work on Thursday night, whilst talking to one of my old friends from Northern Ireland, my other friend S jumped up and down infront of me. I should have seen the signs that she was pissed!!! She asked me to come in for a drink, which I dad and as it was free drinks, she lined them up... all 3 of them! Well yes, as you can now imagine I was a little tipsy and SHE was steaming! I eventually went home not long after she attempted to snog me (as she was so drunk).
I woke up at 4.10 in good time to get packed and get my flight. But this didn't happen. I had problems checking in online as it wouldn't print my boarding pass, so I went on my way thinking I have an hour and a half to get there before check in closes anyway, but they should still have my details on the system. It was one thing after another from then onwards. I JUST missed the train to Stanstead... But that wasn't the end of it. The so called 40 minute train took over an hour leaving me 30 minutes. Check in had closed, they couldn't find my check in details and rufused to let me on the plane!!! I was distraught! More than distraught! I cried my eyes out. They told me to go to the Ticket Sales desk, which I did. They proceeded to tell me that it would cost me an additional £187.00 to fly to Belfast. I was outraged!!! I cried and cried! With my lack of money at the moment (I am still temping) it was heart wrenching. nobody from Ryan Air wanted to help me - I was at my wits end! Eventually after being calmed down by my bf and Dad, they both offered to pay (which I didn't take them up on) but I just walked over to EastJet and bought a ticket for £98.00. Job done and I was on my way!!!
I was met at the station by my childhood best friend E. E was still as tiny as ever. i couldn't be more happy to see anyone in my entire life! I love that girl. Her bf was with her. He was a really ncie guy. I thought they were great together! Anyway, we had a lil drive about where I used to live. It was all scarily the same except a few shops. My house had been knocked down years ago and 8 houses built on our land. It was very tearful seeing that. But E's place was the same and it felt so right to be back there!
To be continued....
