Just a quick update, had a rather good weekend, went out friday night with Kev, Wayne and his ex, trawled around the bars after spending most of the night in the New Road Inn, headed over to the club for a short spell (well i say a short spell but i looked at the time and it was 3.45am) A little perturbed by this as I was in work at 1pm we headed off to trades for a nightcap then a pizza then home and in bed for 5 amish!

Saturday in work with the hangover from hell was no fun consequently I didnt move from the sofa when i got in

Sunday saw me sneak out of work early so that we could go for a pub lunch and then a few drinkies around town, Taboo, The Bag, Pepes, DT, Mardi's (just in time for then entertainment!! Hurrah!)Then off to The New Road Inn where Kev could have his weekly dose of Kareoke. He says he cant sing anymore but he still has the best voice in there I think and though I was a wee bit squiffy I still managed to avoid getting up myself (Result!)

We are looking for a puppy aswell spent hours scanning the rescue shelters to find some poor wee mutt in need of a good home, though I think i'd prefer a wire haired jack russell! Will let you know how we get on.

Tonight were off to see Dolly Parton at the MEN Arena in Manchesterford cant wait for that, meeting Kev there as he's at a college in the Wirral, plus he'll need moral support going in there, bet he'll have a good night though! 

Right thats me for a bit.

Well what can I say it's Festival time again!!!! Tickets have been booked, essential items have been worked out and the line up looks good can't wait for it!

Yes you may have guessed it's the V Festival again, Dawn getting very excited already, book tickets or else lady! Looking forward to Lily Allen, the Happy Mondays, Mika not to mention getting a little squiffy over the weekend!

We have booked a hotel for the night before so me Greta and Kev can go down and bag a good camping spot for ourselves and the rest of the gang; no doubt we shall chill champagne and toast marshmallows awaiting their arrival! More than likely hit the Village and end up legless trying to put the tents up in the dark! 

Roll on August!!!!!!

Picture it Valentines weekend 2007 Kev booked us into the Piccadilly Hotel in Manchester for the night. We had tickets to go and see Will Young in the Noel Coward play The Vortex. A delightfully camp romp through the hedonistic days of the 1920's drugs sex and the Charleston! Actually it was a really good play and I'd highly recommend the Exchange Theater as a venue to go and see anything its a bit quirky and mage a huge change from the usual night out.

After the play we quickly returned to the hotel before heading over to the village for a massive pub crawl through all of my old haunts! We did the lot and ended up rather trashed to put it mildly, but it was good to return to the scene of many a crime. We ended up in Napoleons at the end of the night, not the same without Ernie sadly no longer with us. Lots of happy memories though.

Returning to the hotel after the most disgusting pizza ever (though I did give it a good go) we collapsed in a heap.

We awoke the next morning with Kev having welded his contacts to his eyeballs so I had to do a mercy mission to Boots for some eye drops. Eye drops instilled and with eyesight nearly to normal we headed over to the Art Gallery for a look around then over to Castlefield via the tram for a wander about eventually walking back the length of the canal past the Hacienda (happy days!) back to Canal Street where we had brunch at Via Fossa before heading over to the Odeon at the Printworks to watch Hot Fuzz. Really funny in a daft kids kind of way but just what the Dr ordered with a hangover!

Made it home in time for tea and an early night!

Thanks babe! X

Well having suffered greatly for the last few weeks it was finally time to get my ass back in gear and get out and about. Poor Kev has been suffering cabin fever due to my enforced inability to leave the house due to my recent surgery so when he mentioned that he wanted to go see a girl that he knows play in a band at the Tower Lounge I said ok. Now then if you've ever been to Blackpool the Tower Lounge is the hellhole that various hen and stag parties gravitate towards and end up ratarsed and vomiting at lunchtime so you can imagine my delight at the choice of venue for my first post operative venture! 

Well we got there to find that it was actually a competition wth four bands playing Kev's friends band hadn't been on yet so we grabbed a much welcomed pint and listened to whoever it was playing. Looking around the place I was a bit suprised it reminded me of my student days at the Ritz in Manchester and not a hen or stag in sight! Then I noticed my lodger Joannes boyfriend Mike sat there having a pint, next thing he goes and gets on stage and starts setting up for the next band which in fact turned out to be his and Kevs mates band. (small world eh? ) Anyway went and said a quick hello and waited around for them to play, and they were really good it has to be said I was seriously impressed and guess what they won the heat! So will be going back on Friday to see them again!

Leaving there we headed over to the usuall haunts becoming more and more merry as the evening went on finally ending up a bit buggered in the club! All in all a good night!

Consequently the next morning  I was feeling a little jaded, in fact I had the hangover from hell, but had agreed to go to Manchester for the day shopping, luckily our first stop there was the Christmas Market where I had a hair of the dog namely a gluhwine with a shot of rum in it. Slightly more fotified by the wine and a rather large German sausage we had a great day wandering around all my old haunts including my second home in the village Via Fossa (ah memories) Shopping over we returned home via a rather large detour through the wilds of the north west in an atempt to find Wigan|! (Cheers for that Kev!)

Having watched the X Factor we decided to pop out for a quick half, so we hit Taboo, DT and then the Bag where we bumped into Chris and Steve who said that my sis and her Girlfriend were coming out for a swift sherry following going to see the Charlatans so we ended up waiting for them to arrive and consequently got a wee bit tiddly. From there we toddled off to Taboo again where I bumped into Ben and his mate Kev and continued to get totally trollied for the rest of the night.

Needless to say Sunday was spent in a coma!
