More new friends! :O

The main highlight of my day yesterday was meeting Ellie, my new neighbour as it were. I went into the kitchen to throw away a banana skin as I spotted her and her mum, they were being briefly shown around the kitchen. I then said "You must be my new neighbour then!" and introduced myself. Her and her mum were really lovely, I showed them where the shower and toilet was then let them get on with unpacking or whatever. I then went out shopping to Sainsburys and brought a few bits for dinner.

Later on when it came to making dinner? Ahaha. I turned the knob that said "oven" on the cooker (as you do), waited for it to heat up...nothing. Ahh fuck. I'd defiantly turned it on. I had already marinaded the chicken in sticky BBQ sauce. I caught Ellie in the corridor with her mum so I asked her mum for advice just to check I wasn't being an idiot! We checked the cooker over. I knew the hobbs worked so it wasn't broken. I said "Oh no how am I going to cook this chicken?!" Ellies' mum suggested I grilled it. Okay, so I carefully somehow managed to take the sticky chicken from inside a bowl onto the grill. Very messy stuff, sticky BBQ sauce everywhere. By this time the rest of Ellies' family had appeared, her sister, younger brother and her dad. Her dad commented on how good to chicken looked. Too fucking right mate! So turned the grill on waited...stuck my hand inside nothing. I paniced yet again, looks as if I was going to have to fry it but I had no idea how to do that and with that sauce it would have been super messy. Then I realised there was heat coming from underneath...some monkey had labelled the oven as the grill and vice versa. Face. Palm.

Sooo after 40 minutes I had a lush meal of chicken, chips and sweetcorn. Thank God Alex has taught me how to cook something haha! Quite a big meal, just what you need when you're going to go out drinking later! Matt had text me just before dinner about going out if I fancied it, etc. I said yeah totally and mentioned it to Ellie so she could come out and meet some people. She told me to let her know if anything was going on, I said I would. Nothing happened till around 9, which is what i'd expected from the previous night, then Andre, a really cool freshers angel knocked on our floor door, I answered it, had a chat with him. He'd seen Alexs' car the other night and he was so jealous of it, asking what car it was and stuff. He loved it, said to meet in the carpark at 9 again and to bring my flatmates. I knocked on Ellies' door and told her but of course John was out, he has mates he knew from college/school in the halls next door so he's always out with them. Which is a little weird because then he's not making new friends but oh well, his choice.

So we headed out, met up with some others and headed off to Knights bar again, we ended up staying there, it's getting more and more bearable every night I think! It closed at 11:30 though so we headed back to some of out new friends kitchen in their block. Rachel (looks like and is an art student, bright pink hair, amazing girl) and Ralph (extremly funny drunk who walked into some bins on the way back and Rachel was helping him the entire way!). Matt came along with us too, love Matt, he's great. We sat around there table, talking about random shit, including gaming and peter andre and Jordan. Rachel was making a point of how much she hated Jordan and that "We've all got fantastic tits because they're real!". Good point, Rach, good point indeed. And hence was born the running joke of "sky remote penis". Jordan once described Peters dick as a sky remote. Seriously, wtf! xD I was laughing until tears that night, mainly because of drunken Ralph haha!

Eventually we headed back, said by the Matt and went to bed. All in all a damn good night. :)
