Oh my god...me and twinny are having a summer holiday all next week....in manchester!!!
I'll explain it all tomorrow as i am needing sleep right now! Just had to tell you now cos i'm sooo exited...can't wait...it's gonna be amazing!! xxxxxxxxxxxxx
nadine
Hey peeps...the losing feeling is not a good feeling! We lost at the weekend, i have broke my car and there was no twinny antics...my life is in turmiol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't need to tell you about the game (and i still find it a little difficult to talk about...gulp) But basically my car is dead in Audi...broke down on me the other day on the motorway...apparently it needs a new clutch! And i have to pay for it as they are saying it is 'driver error'...driver error!!!...do they not know that i am a good driver!? God damn them!
Nic i vaguely remember having inbox chat with you sat night but had to check my messages to confirm...ha! i was pretty wasted!
Had to go out with 'other friends' on sat night as twinny was on a hen do...it was awful without twinny...felt really wierd...like i was out in flat shoes or something!?
Anyway...hopefully won't have to experience that again!
How good was the mens result! Was meant to go and watch them (but had no car!)
Me and bish went out on Wednesday night to this glamour girls birthday...never seen so many beautiful people in one room at one time...well that was until i started downing doubles and couldn't see much!! About 3am bish was pretty drunk and needed to go home. I apparently tried every trick in the book to keep her there "it's only 11 o'clock" "wait till i finish my drink" (mouth round the straw, fake sipping) 20 mins later...twinny twigged and (quite rightly) tried taking me home...but you know what i'm like when i'm in that state...i'm not going...party, party party! wooooo! So bish finds somebody 'safe' to leave me with and took his number.
I finally stumble back to bish's...it's gone 5am at this point...and wonder why she doesn't want to chat as i burst in to her room turning all the lights on!??
Before i continue...let me tell you what i had to do the next day...
I had to be in Stoke at 10:30am with hair and make-up done for a photo-shoot for malik. Basically we had to cut a deal with barringtons...they would sell our calendars online at a price we wanted...as long as we did some photo's for them (twinny had to work so i had to do it on my own)
So ok back to the story...i'm back at bish's crashing about!...until i'm finally told to pipe down...and that was the last i remember...must have passed out!
Woke up the next morning...not sure where i am or what has happened...look at my phone 10:45am! Dear god i was meant to be in stoke 15 minutes ago!!
So i just throw anything on and get to stoke asap. I feel terrible...i look terrible...i rock up nearly 2 hours late...kirby grips still poking out of my hair from the night before, my face is all puffy and my eyes...well blood shot is an understatement! The guy from barringtons takes one look at me...to which his response is...'dear god, what has happened to you!?'
So i fling some kit on (still got the shakes) and run into the studio. To make matters worse i see Si edge and Kayleigh(who are also doing the pics), both looking very awake and pretty! Did the shoot...lord knows if they will be able to get one decent shot of me!
Not sure my plans for this week re going out (how's thursday night looking bish??)...indoor starts on wednesday, then road trip again this weekend...old loughts away then clifton away! Then heading home sunday evening and getting straight on it...0161 baby...wooooooo!
Got a busy social week next week as twinny has 3 days off...but i'll tell you about that nearer the time (and yes it involves more fancy dress!)
Good to see you two have been playing out more! Sleep whan ya dead!!!
Speak soon kids xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

aaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!! new levels of insanity reached this weekend!! took down another sport footballers were the victims this time!! not long till twinnys and my names are mud with the FA also!!! more details of the exact victims will be available but its in box only info!!!
basically another bloody brilliant weekend road trip was a great laugh twinny has found and stolen jads mega mix so we were bopping the whole way round the country in the galaxy (dieters dads car!!!) you would have been very proud on the sat night when we went to an italian and said no to the red wine ....oh god perhaps thats why sunday was such a blow out!!! hockey was great "i love hockey" was the phrase of the weekend!!!
anyway finally got home managed to railroad kate into attending the 0161 for a civilised drink or 2 kate ended up going home after downing a lemonade that i bought for her...i think they accidentaly put a shot in it and kate didnt realise till the last swig!! oh god doctor hendrick wasnt happy!!! nads ended up getting her leg over......kates gate that is at 3ish in ther morning god damn kates house for being so difficult to get into!!!
unashamedly promoted the calender all night basically nads and i pimped ourselves out for the sake of a coulpe of pounds and now 0161 are the proud calender sponsors well done nad for organising a sales pitch whilst on a night out!!!
hope your still having fun its great to keep up with what your doing. Till ther next night out....(god its tomorrow!!!) keep safe xxxxxx
oh twinnys ill. get well if your reading this twinny and answer your phone!!! doh sound like fran sorry for bombarding you!!!!
