Click to Enlarge i've never been on a bus that has broken down. well until last night.

thought i'd meet up with rich and have a few drinks. last night shared how god brought me to exmouth. get the last bus home and tra la be back in time for midnight (you know i really do turn into a pumpkin!)

for those who know Exmouth we got as far as the Speed Camera (well actually at the top of the hill). We'd run out of petrol. Nice. So Midnight comes and goes and you start to question "Do i get off the bus and walk? Or should i wait?". I waited. I know the driver and i meet some of the passengers, one called becky who works at McDonalds and is a manager and gets paid £5.75 a hour, and we all chat and laugh (hmm) for about 45 min. I really could have walked home.

Same bus, same people and same route. Fortunalty it was one of those routes i didnt mind twice. but i have had worse. Although yesterday i discovered you can get a wine making kit from Londis (of all places) and make 5 gallons of wine. Wow i said. the passenger said it had taken her 5 days to drink it and she was still standing. Londis here i come.

Also been a few days of returns. Maplin.com sent the wrong stuff and so did everythingipod.co.uk. So ive been in the post office more times that i ever have. not that im avoiding the PO. But did you know you can print your own stamps!! Seriously. go do it. AND they are legal. Same price everything. AND you can put a logo (yours if you want) on it.

So the flat is still empty apart from me. Although a brief visit from Matt and Chris (who left me his washing up - which ive left on his bed) was welcome. Tiff and suzy are living downstairs at the moment which is quite wierd!! lol
