Oh the embarrassment!

It was so bad, so so BAD! Actually not ‘it,’ I was very bad! I was incredibly dreadful at ice-skating! I have been once before and I had a bunch of muscley men to hang on to, but this time I had one lanky dude, who was trying to help me get across the rink. I literally held on to dear life by grabbing the edges with both my hands, and then came a point where there were no edges to hold on to. Now I am no architect but even I can see that to be a major flaw in design of interior works! After going round the rink once, I came to a halt with my friend who decided not to skate because he was not feeling to good. Instead, we stood behind the barriers to look at how great the strangers were and laughing at our own friends for taking ages to skate around ha-ha :) I went for another skate, and I use that term loosely, took a break and then did another one. That was it, that was enough for me. I decided I needed to rest, so me and my friend waited until others finished up. I decided to take off my painful skates, and the system would be great if they followed it. Right, so I go up to the counter kindly request for my boots and give back the skates. For those of you have been, you know what I am talking about, works very similarly, to when you go bowling. So like I said, great system right? But ohhh noo! It is an easy system, and it would not be right without them messing it up. Back to the story, so I ask for my boots and the person behind the counter shoves some manky old pair of black shoes in my face with holes in them. I am like whoa ‘mate these aren’t my shoes?’ and his reply was “are you sure?” did the muppet really think I had a sudden flood of amnesia? I know what my shoes look like and they were not it! I told him, I gave him boots, not shoes! He did not seem that bothered and carried on serving other customers he just told me to wait. Even when he was finished with the others customers, he was just lurking around behind the counter. This was making me furious! He finally decided to speak to his colleague who asked what my boots looked like. Therefore, I picked my mates boots up and showed them to him… “They look very similar to this!” when they eventually started looking, it did not take long to find my boots, however, they were nowhere near the locker they were suppose to have been kept in! Grrr, very annoyed! I mean as if being a terrible skate was not enough that they had to make me wait for over ten minutes to get my comfortable winter boots back whilst I stand on the dirty hard carpet!

Let me move on to the fun part of the evening, after ice-skating we all went for a meal at Nandos. It was getting very chilly and dark, which made the warm delicious meal taste even better. We all had a chit chat and a general banter, some good laughs. To end the day we decided to head into central, look at the x-mas lights that have been put up, looked very pretty and erm x-massy? Hehe! All was calm, all was bright, almost slept in heavenly peace. That is until I entered Hamleys toy store, one plonker who works at the store decided to use a ‘hand held genie head massager’ on my head without asking me and behind my back. Not only did it make me jump, I strained my neck so severely that it was hurting until I got home. He did not even apologise, all he said was “it’s nice, no?’ ERM NO! Not when it’s been in other peoples head and you do it behind my back, without asking me! He decided to do the same thing to my friends but they managed to stop him before he could. Seriously did he not gather anything from what had just happened with me! What is wrong with people?!

Now to finish this blog on a high ♫, the presentation that I was worried about went extremely well! My teacher let slip that mine and my friends was the best one because it was straight to the point, and very structured. I am still worried about actually writing out the essay but not as concerned as I was before. Happy Days!!! :)

I shall try to keep you updated with my festivities over the holidays.
