MMMMmmm... Chocolate
Had another random trip yesterday, Cadbury World this time!
Claire managed to get the tickets pretty cheap off LastMinute.com so thought we might as well, it's something to do!
It was a good day anyway, reasonably interesting and of course, plenty of free chocolate... one thing in particular was very good. They gave you a pot of this warm runny chocolate which you ate with a spoon, so so wrong, but so so good! :)
And obviously had to buy something from "The World's Biggest Cadbury Shop"! Although, as Mike pointed out, how many other Cadbury shops do you know of...? Hmm.

Alton Towers
Ok, not that i'm being lazy, but, what he said! I don't reckon there's much not covered in Mike's post and as usual we'd end up writing the same stuff (just depends who gets there first! lol). And since Mike has well... um... how do I put this, some time on his hands during his working day... ;-)

Random days out... part 2!
No, not sherwood forest this time... although close... we headed back that way to Thoresby Park, where they had a giant maze made from maize!
Right, before I go any further, I will say, i'm not even going to start with the cheesy puns, because I think Mike's managed to use every one possible anyway... ;-)
(See I even managed not to say corny... )
There's meant to be loads of these maze's all round the country ( infact, the world apparently!), so we reckon we should challenge ourselves to visit every one! That's some challenge, since they spread as far as South Africa, America, you name it....!!!
Was very random, but a good day again! Even better than sherwood forest possibly! lol. Surovy had to get her 'souvenier' of course... Well, part of the maze itself really... As modelled by her and Claire above! Apologies for the shocking quality picture again, this time it was my rubbish phone camera to blame...
Mike managed to hobble around the maze, which is quite impressive really, since we spent over an hour and a half in there... we weren't lost, just wanted to see it all, honest!
Infact, I just realised I hadn't posted about Mike's knee again yet, so i'll explain the reason he was hobbling! Yep, you guessed it... badminton ended in tears (well nearly) again last weekend. Same thing again with his knee. Not good. Besides it being extremely painful at the time, no doubt, more than anything because now he's even more bored all the time and thus so am I! lol
We're just not meant to play badminton! And I'm getting a reputation for injuring people now... Stu did something to his elbow as well when I was playing him next...
It's just a coincidence!!!! :-|
Anyway, so, hopefully they'll be a part three to this post as well, because we still need to fit in a trip to the seaside before the end of the summer! Didn't think that was the best idea on a bank holiday monday that was all...
Oh yeah, had an awesome night at Loveshack on fri too. We actually went to some different bars too! Shock, horror! Place called the The Fat Cat which is really nice and the new Revolution in the Corner House. Mike couldn't come out though which was annoying because he might have had trouble in Loveshack on his knee... no comments please about me not being able to stand up even with both legs in tact...

Sherwood Forest
Had a bit of a random day out yesterday, decided we would go to Sherwood Forest! Me, Mike, Alison, Claire and Surovy. Photo at the Major Oak to prove it... :)
Was actually a really good day, took some food and stuff and had a wander round the good old sherwood forest visitor centre. Not been there in like 10 years! Made a nice change from getting drunk for once! - Although we did go to the pub when we got back... I still didn't drink though cos I was driving!
The rain even held off! Although only just, got back and it absolutley slung it down all night!
And I resisted the temptation to buy a bow and arrow from the gift shop, they're great! Used to have so many of them when I was younger! Although Surovy had to buy her "piece of wood" fridge magnet, which was very authentic, honest ;-)

Lancaster and Beer Gardens
Just got back from Lancaster this afternoon. Had a good weekend up there, most of the time spent drinking! We started drinking in a beer garden yesterday morning about half 11, before the football and ended up out all day - with a short gap in the middle.
Got a bit burnt as it was stupidly hot in the beer garden and we sat there about 3 hours! Haven't had an all-dayer like that in a long while, suprisingly though I am reasonably un-hungover today although I did drink a lot of water last night. Mostly because at about half 12 one of us had to go home cos he was so drunk ;) So thought i'd better sober up a bit. Glad I did!
Bit of a mad week, so I think it's an early night tonight before work tomorrow!

Alton Towers
Had a good day at Alton Towers yesterday as always. The new ride is class, doesn't look that fast when you watch it, but when you get on it it certainly is! Sadly, we only got on it once because the queue was to big, although we didn't really have to queue long for anything else and got on pretty much everything, Nemesis twice!
And we didn't even get lost getting there ;-) Seemed odd not driving there myself, I seem to drive everywhere these days, not that it bothers me because I love driving!
Speaking of cars and driving, my parents have said that if I want, they will get me this sat nav system for my birthday! :-D :-D :-D
It just happens that makro are doing it stupidly cheap in an offer that starts on wednesday morning... i'll be getting there early I think!
Right, better stop rambling, James is coming up for the day today, looking forward to it, haven't seen him in ages (again!).
