I flew to Heathrow (cheapest/quickest way) and the flight was real quick but included a drink (even alcohol!) and a snack, wat. I only had water cos I didn’t fancy owt else but I am impressed! Then I had to get from terminal 5 to terminal 3 which is a ridiculous journey on a proper train and loads of lifts and corridors. It wasn’t even midnight and I only saw a handful of people, so so creepy.
Now I am checked in via a kiosk but the bag drop isn’t open yet - there are no flights from here until post 6am so all the different brands of desk are shut until then. So as I still have my pack I can’t go to the departures area, I have to stay in the lobby and even though it is huge there is nothing except 2 drink and 2 snack vending machines so thank god I had a load of change for a drink (nearly emptied my purse of heavy change before leaving).
I forgot to wear earings so I bought some cute new ones from Accesorize in Manchester. Treats.
Sorry for this but I have 4 hours to kill before I can find somewhere to eat beans on toast and spritz my jacket with lovely perfume.
Mo has been the soundest and dropped me at the airport, now it’s me and this bag of junk for the next three months, eek!
It is only THREE hours until Mo comes over to take me to the airport!!!!!! I’m flying Manchester - Heathrow and will have a ton of time to kill as my international flight is early tomorrow morning (no public transport could get me to the airport in time for check in apart from going the night before and spending loads of boring hours there, joys of someone else picking your flight time!)
Yep so if anyone wants to chat my number is 07535684098. From tomorrow morning I won’t be using my phone for three months, oh bloody hell.
If anyone has any advice on MUST TRY American vegan snax, throw them at me cos I’m panicking a little bit. I know I’ll find stuff but tips are appreciated. Oh and I’m spending tomorrow afternoon/night in NY and I’m gonna spend some time in August in Chicago so if anyone has any great recommendations for places to eat in those places, throw them at me! (The internet is helpful but I prefer the Personal Touch)
I suspect I’ll pop on here when I have wifi but if not HAVE MINT SUMMERS XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ok this is a picture from yesterday cos I’m not this happy but look,I got my African princess hair back. Was pleased.
Then I found out what happened in Oklahoma I can’t stop watching the news cos this is horrendous. Oh, and TOMORROW NIGHT I set off to America. I’m supposed to be moving to Oklahoma and have two flights in tornado risk areas. One of my new colleagues added me on Facebook and she’s been posting stressed out statuses about the situation. Most of the people I’m going to be working with are from the area of the state where the tornado hit, so I dunno what kinds of hell they are going through. God be good, hopefully no-one has had their life ruined.
Too scared to email my new boss cos I guess he has tons of worry on his mind right now, I dunno what impact this is gonna have on my travel arrangements now though.
Tonight is my last shift at work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bye bowling alley.
Today my parents gave me $100 too. I’m in a shitty mood cos I am stressing out about everything (but I’m in too bad a mood to deal with it, so I’ve just been loafing in front of the tv to catch up with everything I’ve Sky+ed).
I fly on bloody Wednesday so the next couple of days are gonna be horrid ha ha ha.
