My trip to Eastbourne was definitely a relaxing one, I spent so much time chilling it was unreal, I haven't felt that relaxed since I last went away in June 2010. G was a fantastic hostess and I loved every minute of my break. The only downside was the weather, it was typical for an English February... grey and wet. I wont bore you with every detail of my trip as well that will send you to sleep!
Wednesday the 23rd was G's smurfday and to celebrate we had a light breakfast followed by me having a nap thanks to G's early starts!! After my nap it was time for a late lunch, G chose a restaurant she had never been too, a lovely Mediterranean restaurant called 'Pablos' the food was wonderful and more than enough was on the plate. I would most deff recommend the restaurant, special as the service was top rate. The view from the restaurant was also pretty good and I look forward to seeing it when the weather is much more pleasant.
Wednesday evening saw me and G chilling out, we watched a VIDEO! and it was deff 80's cheese 'Witches of Eastwick' very nostalgic hee hee. G fell asleeps and must have been dreaming as she suddenly spoke to me.. 'Its a blue one with candles' my reply 'huh what you on about?' 'A blue one with candles' in a "you should know this voice" 'OKAYYYYYY,' sez I 'your mad,. but what??' 'A retirement cake, blue one with candles' this made me laugh hard, which woke G up and we spent about 20 minutes laughing about it!!!!
Thursday was a shopping day to Brighton, whoooop says I, I love Brighton and haven't been since I was a small girl. I was in heaven with all the shops, I felt that I was at home and totally relaxed, until we got to the restaurant for lunch, a 10 minute wait turned into half hour and poor lil panic dog had to come out of my bag for a squish, the amount of people in a small space caused me to panic a little. The food looked nice and was OK, not much to write about really. Panic dog spent the time on the table too, this got me a few looks from the staff but I didn't care!
We looked around the lanes, G brought me a beautiful Pandora :o) and full of food (well I was starved after the long wait) we went around some more shops, Brighton really does have everything! We went into a sex toy shop and no-one battered an eyelid.. and I may have made a purchase but I'm not saying either way ;o)
G was stressing a little bit as we had to be back at hers for 7pm as she had friends popping round.. we got back at 6.30, that gave me enough time to upload the piccys and chill out before they arrived. I was chilling on the sofa when they arrived, I wasn't too fussed about moving as I didn't know these people... You can imagine my surprise when it was S and her wife T!!! I did the whole jaw dropping, finger pointing, look of dis-belief thing!!! when I managed to find my voice (yip I was that shocked!) I gave S the worlds biggest hugz and then one for T as well :o) T had brought a bottle of wine so we cracked that open (none for S as she was driving) and we chatted and giggled and then the bottle was empty so me n S went to Asda for more wine!! that was nice as it gave me n S a chance to have a natter, we both have our own stresses n issues and it was nice to share them a little. I've not seen S since her birthday last April but it was as if I've not seen her for a few weeks... that's how much of a good friend she is. We cracked open the 2nd bottle T was on large glasses and me n G were on small glasses, T started to look a little tipsy hahahaha and we talked random babble.. mainly about cats!! S&T have little Ren who is a kitten of my Cecil :) After the wine they had to leave.. summat about work the next day!! It was lovely to see them and I think I was still in shock when they left!! I was kinda grateful it was a surprise as if I'd known they were popping round I would have been so hyper G would have killed me!! (no pics as camera was broked) After S&T left I had a cry as I was missing A and still hurt by the break up, G was on hand with the tissues and hugz.. that was lovely. G knows how to get me smiling and gave me a pep talk about A.
Friday I had a pedicure booked, I was excited as I had never had one, I HATE having my feet touched but they were horrible! Niccki the beautician was lovely and we went to her house for the service, the view was lovely (she is right on the beach) and I was able to relax easily. I told her about my not yet healed sprained ankle and she was really gentle and kept asking me If I was OK. Don't my feet look good??
We then went for a trip to Eastbourne, my poorly net book was all fixed, thanks to G and had to be picked up, we looked around a few shops and had lunch in a yummy noodle bar.. and G FINALLY let me pay for a lunch, I may be skint but wanted to pay my way a bit... and I got to pay for the cheapest meal yet!! bloody women hahaha.
G mentioned a drive to Bexhill-on-sea, just to show me the area I guess, the drive out was lovely, I love being by the sea, it makes me feel close to Ghia. we stopped by a cliff and I managed to take a few pics (got camera working... had to flick a switch!)
Me being a Taz I had a silly head on, which meant a silly comment 'Someone has stolen the Isle of Wight' from the solent you can see the Island and it was a bit weird not seeing anything but sea!!!!
Saturday saw us returning to Gosport, as we drove past the Fareham viaducts I felt that familiar twinge of anxiety in my belly, I was not looking forward to returning home and facing all my stresses, but I was looking forward to seeing my babies.
I had a fantastic break and G is deff a friend for life, she has opened my eyes to what life can be like illness and stress free and for that I am truly grateful :o) xXx
