Lisa and Laura's Road Trip!

Today I had a few things to do and got out of school at 12.30 so I asked Lisa to come along with me for a bit of fun. First of all we went to Abbeycentre and had lunch in O'Brien's. Lisa got a lovely chicken and stuffing wrap and I got a toastie which was supposed to be on white bread but ended up on brown bread, but sure that doesn't matter. Lisa thought she was me for about five minutes because she managed to spill our milk AND break a cup (now granted the table was wobbly!) She was very upset but I did tell her not to cry over spilt milk. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture, it would have been very funny! Then we went into Next because I had to get Kim and Trev a pressie for wee Josh, but I'll not put up a picture of it because that would be silly and also they might read this before I get to see them!! As it turned out, Lisa didn't know we were going to Town as well but she didn't need to be home till 5 so we went anyway.

First stop was Debenhams as I had to get a refund for my mum, this proved more difficult that I thought because apparently you can only get an exchange on something that's been reduced by 50% or more - I've only ever heard of not getting a refund in the sale in wee poky shops, like NV or one-off shops, but... Anyway, moving on, we heard a wee announcement that some guy was giving out free knives at a stand on the first floor. Now ordinarily I wouldn't really go for those things (ok some freebies, yes, but not a knife that I'll never use), but I happen to know how good this knife is - my mum got one about 2 years ago and it's brilliant so I thought I'd get her another one or else keep it in case I ever move out and persuaded Lisa to do the same. So we stood and listened to this man and watched him cut a hammer with the bigger version of this knife and so on and eventually he started handing out the free knives. And he had the cheek to ask was I over 21!! Silly me answered, 'yes but i know i don't look it' and then realised, hold on that's the answer I give for being over 18!! haha! But he was really nice and gave mine to Lisa for me (because he's giving them out free he's not allowed to give them to under 21s.) It's ok, I'll be 21 in just over a month anyway.

Well we went to Marks and Sparks to get another refund and then on to Boots so I could buy foundation and I had a wee browse while we were there. I got very excited because they FINALLY have Carmex in a tub and not a tube!! This is monumental because nowhere has had Carmex in ages (too many people becoming addicted) and those that had only had the tubes! Here is a picture of the king of all lipbalms that I haven't been able to get in months...

Gayle and I were just commenting tonight that it smells a little different, but I don't care as long as it keeps my lips soft!

Lisa and I both got very excited in Topshop and found that it's always when you have no money that the nicest things come out in the shops! There were so many things we could buy for Paris (did I mention I'm going to Paris??) We went to Oasis and then Next and suddenly realised that it was 4.20 and we had to leave (aww...) so we just went back to Castlecourt and drove all the way home.

Went to Springsteens tonight to meet up with Gayle who couldn't be a part of our road trip because she was being a good girl and revising (which I should be doing but leaving it until next week). I've a photo of us in Springers but it's not on the computer yet so will maybe add it with my next post!

Tomorrow night LeeAnne and I are going to a wedding party to boogie away, maybe get some photos to put up, Lisa is going to take a photo of us before we go anyway - I think we should do a before and after shot, just in case I repeat my antics of New Years Eve. Or not. (you'll have to be a friend of LeeAnne's to see that link - sign in with your hotmail address to find out if LeeAnne likes you or not ;-) ) Anyway, "Jarek" gets his wish - see the comments on this post - Jarek was a little joke of LeeAnne's designed to wind me up in case you're wondering. He doesn't exist. Well maybe he does but we don't know him and he didn't post on my blog!!
