How to annoy Tesco Workers

I decided to got to Tesco's on lunch & see what I could find to go on my sandwiches... Being the money saver I am I'm always on the look out for bargains. I spotted some full chickens reduced to half price so decided to have one. I carried on round the store and spotted the Tesco's assistant marking down the same type of chicken even further (about 60p extra). So to make conversation I said 'I'm just going to exchange this chicken for one of these you've reduced further'. She then said with much sarcasm 'Its only reduced a LITTLE more'... to which I replied ' Well as you guys say 'Every Little Bit Counts'.... the look on her face was priceless :)

Wings of Desire

Went to go watch a dance recital tonight called Wings of Desire which is on at Victoria Square, Birmingham from tonight until this Saturday. I love theatrical shows and this was amazing. If anyone is thinking of going but is put off because they think its only going to be arty I would say go. It is amazing - I would liken it more to a human circus rather than a dance recital. I'm planning to go watch it again on Saturday evening weather permitting. Further information can be obtained here

On another note I had an email on Monday saying that I had won tickets to the Olympic Torch Concert in Birmingham only to receive a further email the next day apologising for the error & had confirmation tonight that I wasn't successful... oh well it is disappointing but at least no bands are planning that I would be really disappointed at seeing! And I did win another prize anyway...

Ducks which we took pity on & fed - then again you probably find everyone takes pity on them but how could you ignore such adorable ducks??

Alton Towers Fountain - love this it just fits in so well with the playfulness!

Geese & goslings at Alton Towers

Having fun & loads of laughs with my mate Jonathan on the Runaway Mine Train. We didn't know the 2 in front but I thought it was a quality photo!

Life is a rollercoaster...

So last week I went to Alton Towers. I hadn't been for ages & although part of me was looking forward to it part of me was dreading it. I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to Rollercoasters - I've been known to end up in tears before going on a rollercoaster while my mate Jonathan drags me on to the ride!

First up was Sonic Spinball which had to be the scariest ride I went on all day however it was loads of fun despite me screaming like a little girl! Next was Rita Queen of Speed - my 3rd favourite ride of the day. 0-100kmph in 2.5 seconds. My mates didn't like this ride but I loved it.

 

Second favourite ride of the day was Thirteen - went on it twice it was that good - I love this video & I'm so glad I wasn't screaming as badly as she was!

 

My ultimate favourite ride was Air - I was really looking forward to the ride after seeing the advert, but was also quite nervous about going on it. However I loved it and we even went on it a second time. It's an amazing ride & the feeling of being on it is beautiful - its one ride that I could definitely go on over and over again.

  

Honourable mention has to go to the Runaway Mine Train which we went on 3 times - yes it may be old & not at all scary but it is definitely a giggle! Choo Choo :)

Other rides I went on - The Blade (really didn't enjoy it!), Hex, The Teacups - made full use of the spinning round control thing, Duel - cheesy but well worth a ride!, Nemesis Sub-Terra - disappointing, The Rapids - got wet but so what it was fun! Really wishing I was still at Alton Towers - I had so much fun & loved it :)
