So I decided instead of staying in and doing bugger all I shall do something I contacted Laura and asked her what she was up to as we've previously tried to meet but no luck.
We usually meet in Preston as its near by for any of us to travel to. Only takes 20 mins from Poulton and said meet at the Station in Preston although they were running late as they always seems to do must be Gavin still in the shower.
When I got to Preston I just went browsing in Debenhams to look for something for my dad which is his birthday on Tuesday as I'd seen a nice shirt online but didn't have his size. I was stuck between choices. I just picked up a nice blue jumper and got that and got Rosie some Chanel and went into a few card shops to get dad and Rosie who's birthday it also is a card.
Preston was quite busy obviously cause it were weekend. I wondered round Debenhams for a bit till Laura got to town. Said meet her in the mall. Gave me the name of the shop and started to walk to meet her. As I wasn't familiar with the shop I thought it be near the entrance round the other side of Preston but when I got in there she said it was near WH Smith which I already walked past and went the other way lost my bearings in the mall. Asked a few people but weren't much help and even the Customer Service desk told me it was somewhere else. So I just walked round till I saw the sign for WH Smith and went upstairs and eventually found it.
We went in a few shops and wondered where to have lunch pub or cafe. Me and Gavin were eager to pub it but Laura wasn't so keen so just went to M&S cafe for afternoon tea which it was tea, sandwich and cupcake.
We didn't visit a lot of shops after that only Topshop where most things were tiny sizes. I saw a dress in there that had a nice big bow on the front and only small sizes. There wasn't a lot in there some shoes were nice but thats it. Nothing worth spending money on only that dress if it was in a size that fit. So typical of Topshop it attracts mostly young people and they think that they are thin so they mostly do clothing from 6-10 and the sizes like 14-16 only the odd size out in store usually only about 1 and you can bet money that that size won't be there again. Several of the sizes like 10.
Anyway after that I said I go back with Laura & Gavin to theres. Went to Tesco first as they needed to do a bit of food shopping.
They both have a nice good sized flat. I thought Chorley would be a quite a small and village like. Their flat is part of a quite big housing development with more flat/houses being built.
It was good of them to give me tea and everything and chill out. I came back with Gavin as he got a text from some mates of ours who were going to be in town from Manchester and said we'll meet them. I didn't think they'll be out for long as Laura is quite heavily pregnant and would get tired and would want to go home. It was still a good few hours. Stayed in Blue Room for a bit and then was going to go to Scrooges but late for last orders so only place left open is Frenchmans Cove. Its okay just older people seem to go in there on there office parties playing cheesy pop songs I dred to see what its like at Christmas probably even worse.
Like I thought Laura did get tired and left for home. Leaving only me, Daryl and Gavin still standing. Went to Tache still the same as always on a Saturday night. Not many places to go in town that aren't dance music. Jenx has gone really rubbish since the new owners took it over. There's no community in it. Not like when the old owner knew people 'regulars' the new guy just interest in money and the whole place has changed. Not interested in going into town anymore. The odd night out is okay but not every week I guess it would get a bit boring.
