As is usual for me, I had my birthday week off. My amazing fiance came to visit me for this week, I am so lucky to have her in my life. This blog is about the 11 days we spent together.
Ok, now, an important thing, it was meant to be 11days, but my sneaky fiance had different ideas, and had a big, big shock for me. There I was on Saturday night stuck at work, 6 days before she landed, thinking of when to do all the things round the house that needed doing(sorry I mean dedicating myself to the customers). At about 20.00 the phone rang, and I was given it, the voice I love to hear on the other end. Slightly confussed (she never phones me at work) we spoke, and she asked if I was busy, I said yes. She then asked if I were to busy to talk to her if she came in, I think the noise I made was "huh", I looked dumb, so she asked again. She then asked me to look outside, and there she was, my stunning queen waiting for me. The rest of the night simply flew by, me never quite recovering from the shock.
Sunday was a fun day, I had already planned with a friend to see Batman(wow by the way) so we both went, and had lots of fun. Sadly I had to work the rest of this week(not knowing I was going to have a visitor), so Monday took ages to go by until I could come home to my angel. Tuesday was similar but I had a visit at lunch time(pasties,yum yum), and Wednesday was inventory. NOW this suxxxxx at the best of times, but being stuck there until 3am knowing C is at home, lame!!!!!! Thursday was hell, because I was much tired, but finally I could go home, and have an amazing 11 days with my fiance.
On Friday we went to visit my family, a frustrating start, where after spending £70 on train fares we were told we could save money another way, couldn`t you say this before?!!!! Anyways, we got to Sussex, and had such a great weekend. My uncle and aunt took great care of us, fed us some amazing food(bbq pigeon), took us around lots of sights , and basically made us feel really special. Sadly all things come to an end, and we had to come home. On Tuesday we went to Henley, and nice romantic town which we both enjoy. Chiara had her 4th starbucks and we had a lovely walk down the river. Wednesday, another frustrating start thank to British rail. Having phoned the day before to see what was the earliest time we could buy a travelcard we woke early, and went to the station. When there, we were told we would have to wait an hour, and the man on the phone had been wrong, great!!! All this on customer service week, lol, I love it, thanks BR. Once in London things improved, we went to the Docklands museum, then met Chiara`s great friend William. I impressed him with my stunning Italian, and we had fun. Then came Starbucks, and Forbidden planet(useless as always). After stopping by Hamleys we went to our favourite haunt, the London Dungeons. This was cool as ever, althought the number of shite parents was stunning(why would this place ever be good for an under 10?). Then back to Starbucks, and the slow train home.
BIRTHDAY! BIRTHDAY! BIRTHDAY! Ok enough of that, I had decided I wanted a quiet day, a day with the important people in my lofe, and no one else. So after breakfast I opened my many presents from C, and just had a great day. A lovely fondue for lunch,. and then I made my 1st Banoffe pie(since it looked like a bombsite we didn`t try it until the next day, but yum). In the evening one of my great friends came round, all 3 of us a a curry and watched Perfume( great book, good film). This was especially fun for me, as it was the first time these to met each other. Friday, hmm, we made various plans, but eneded up walking miles and mils(no exageration) in Virgina Water. It was good anyway, as was the steak and chips that followed( chips cooked in one of my presents), followed by Banoffe.
The last 2 days flew by, in a glut of chicken(nandos),starbucks`,and time flying.We caught up with Lisa again(Mummy 3), and had a quick bowl with Dave and Lauren(don`t ask about the scores).The time just flew by, and sadly on the Sunday my angel left me. I visited Tim and Jamie on the way back from the station which helped, but i just can`t wait for this empty feeling to end, when we finally live together.
All in all, I had so much fun, and for longer than I expected, as is the way with these blogs, I thank my angel for entering my life, and making me so happy
