We win the random Sun night contest

I feel like I need to somehow describe to you the very strange and random events of last night. So Meganne (australian one) phoned me the other night to tell me that there was this live tv broadcast from edinburgh castle to the whole of australia on Sunday night. And asked if we could be there as shouty background people So we did! On Sunday night (it was very cold and wet) we trecked up to the castle and were met by some totaly crazy pushy australians who just wanted to say hi to their mum (I have a great accent for that) There was this security gaurd dude who we later found out was called Frank. He didnt let us go any further into the castle and was generaly anoyed by our presence. This made the Australians more determined as of course we played along too. Kat was even accused of being cheeky. hee hee
Anyway we stood around in the cold for two hours laughing most of the time. Then this army guy came down and told us we could go in as long as we behaved. So we did and found ourselves in the great hall with some strange men in kilts an obviously gay tv presenter and some celidh (please give me a clap for spelling that word right :) dancers. The cameras strated rolling and we got in tv. I was in view of the camera however felt this was not good enough and I needed more exposure so I ran behing crazy aussies and started jumping and waving. It was all very quick but soon we were off air and meg phoned crying coz she saw us. It was all totaly worth it. We left in convey and thanked Mr Frank. (Will take him a bottle of whisky this week).
Fab adventure

Please pray for Meg. Her mum has two tummors in her head and Meg currently stayes 7 hours away from her by car and is looking at getting a new job to be closer to her mum.

Also his girlfrind who is smoking up to 10 cigaretes a day through the preganancy was rushed into hospital because she was in a fight with another girl. She was kicked in the stomache. The baby and mother are both ok now. Its scary to think of both of them having parental responsibilitiesRest of the job is good. Was late for work on Monday, made up a hilarious excuse.

Prefereable about 2 stone so when I go home my family still recognise me.
  • Poker - Had a fun poker night last Sat those present (in aplhabetical order) were , Ali, Adam, Han, Rosie, Ross, Sam, Tom. It was a good night, although some were more serious about playing than others. I decorated a cake which was i fell the highlight of the evening. There was flirting and banter all round, total screem!
  • Films - Really enjoyed Kinky Boots as it is set in the fab town of Northampton, what a great place! Also went to see Wallace and Gromit last night which was suprisingly fun and very entertaining. Plan is to see Corpse Bride tonight.
