A Surpise at the Weekend

Woohoo ~ the computer is fixed.  C'mon everyone join me in doing the dance of joy ;-) tee hee hee...................Didn't lose anything either ~ what a bonus!  My brother came round earlier to mend it and spent about an hour/2 hours downloading god knows what to do god knows what LOL.............Most of it was windows updates ~ there was 75 of them!!  Can you believe it??  Anyway cross those fingers that nothing else goes wrong *touches wood*

I would like to personally thank you all for the sweet comments you left on the previous entry for the Birthday Girl.  She has read them and left you a comment back ;-)  She's Hawmer on AOL just in case you didn't know!!  So Thank you (((((((((((Hugs))))))))))

I just wanna tell you about Friday really.  Wayne had planned to take her out for a meal and emailed me at work ages ago to see if I would like to join them afterwards to go out for a drink at Ej's.  Well I immediately said yes ~ I think it was just after the first trip there so I know I liked it there :-)  which was a bonus!!  So the plan was that I turn up at theirs whilst they were out for their meal and when they came home I would be there and we'd all go out for a drink.

Eventually I managed to get his house key of him, we'd been trying all day, since lunchtime to tell you the truth.  I got home just after 5ish and I had to leave just before 6pm so I managed to pack a few things, get the cake ready in a box, (yep I'd made her a cake ~ well Jane Asher helped ;-), and had some beans on toast before leaving.  I didn't like the idea of walking to the train station in the dark but I made it on time and the cake was still in tact.  The train was due at 6.28pm, but when 6.35 came and went I started to get the feeling it wasn't gonna turn up.  I had images that I would be waiting there for an hour for the next one and then phoning Trina to speak to Wayne and get them to pick me up ~ arrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! *panic*  There were other people waiting and they looked like they had done this journey before and this train is always late!! 

20 minutes late the train was in the end!!  I was freezing.............Then when we were pulling into Starcross it made this noise which didn't sound very healthy at all!!  Luckily though the rest of the journey was smooth sailing.  My next worry was whether I would get a taxi at the train station.  I don't know any taxi numbers to started panicking about that but needn't have worried as there were plenty waiting outside.  Unfortunately for me I picked the guy that seemed to want to tell me all about taxi driving.

Eventually I get to Trina's house and it's in darkness ~ they had definitely left ~ well the car wasn't there so that was a dead giveaway lol.........I went in and immediately set about putting up some decorations I had concoted through the computer at work *tut tut* Well at least I'm being honest and it's not like we had any work to do lol..........After that was done and some help from Soloman and Dibley ~ bless them ~ I moved my bag and stuff upstairs and watched Eastenders.  Wayne had said they would be home anytime after 8.30pm so I sat there with the lights off and tv off and waited........and waited....................and waited.  Finally about 9pm the car pulled up.

Trina came through her back door and started laughing at the decoration.  She asked Wayne if he'd put it up and he said (well I can't remember what he said), she made her way into the living room eventually where I was waiting and I shouted 'Surplies'  (don't worry I'm not going mad it's part of her favourite joke!!)  She looked so happy to see me and shocked!!  Apparently she had been bugging Wayne throughout the meal and most of the evening about driving to Exeter to pick me up and bringing me back and we go to Ej's.  She was even secretly hoping he would drive there as he was taking her home.  Of course he didn't coz he knew there was no point of driving to my flat coz I wasn't there!!  It was so funny........................bless 'em both!!  She wouldn't stop welling up, but managed to open the small gifts I got her and marvelled at the Lemon Drizzle cake sufficiently long enough for my liking LOL...............

We made our way to Ej's.  It was dead there was only people that worked there inside, but we sat down and had a few drinks.  A few more people did come in but we didn't care!!  We made our own atmosphere and drank and danced.  Trina went up to the DJ to request Queen and when he played Don't Stop Me Now I went and asked the DJ to say happy birthday to Trina.  This prompted them to buy her a drink of god knows what.  It had a million straws and she was told to suck it down as soon as possible.  She tried her best but unfortunately didn't do it in the five seconds they gave her lol....I tried a bit it was very sweet!!

More dancing ensued ~ I even did a stint on the pole that they have there!!  :-)  Apparently I wasn't bad but that coming from my best mate I tend to think she's a bit biased lol............The music wasn't up to much again until later that evening when I had no energy left and they started playing rockier music!!

We left and managed to catch a taxi back to theirs quite quickly.  Trina fell asleep straight away and Wayne tried to get her new MP3 player to work but it didn't.  I went to bed not long after. 

It was a great night and I really didn't think she would be as surprised or as happy as she was to see me but I'm glad she was.

The rest of my weekend has been fairly quiet and spent catching up on journals and stuff.  At least the computer is fixed now ~ Greg is a godsend lol..........and he played on my Guitar Hero.  Damn it he got the top score on one song ~ can't remember which one at the moment!!  Hey-ho just means I better get better huh?  Well not now coz there's a film on I'm trying to watch!!

Hope you all have a good week xx
