Today I went over to Marnies to collect the photos, Bex wasn't coming round because she was attending a funeral today. I'd completly forgotten and felt a bit guilty about pestering about photos...anyway I got them off Marnie as well as the left-over rum from last time I went round hers, win! I got them on facebook without too much trouble and showed them to my parents on the playstation.
Got some nice comments on my blog from my readers, it's nice you guys take the time to read this, I appriciate it! Makes it all worth while :) Had a great evening too even if I didn't get to game, there are very little things in life that are better than that but they do exist hehe.
Now I'm sat here watching family guy woohoo, very short blog today but I'm tired and there's not much to write about. One thing that has been annoying me recently is the fact my mate revealed to me the other day that her and another mate don't agree with something that I'm doing. I don't expect people to agree with anything, what I do need is support, that's all. If that's too much to ask from from a mate then well...what can I do? I don't agree with a lot of things they do but I don't bitch about them behind theirs backs, it's good to know your mates are talking about you behind their backs on their high horses. No one will ever understand but at least some mates try to.

Day 8-Going Home
We were all so excited to be going home. Despite getting little sleep the previous night, I felt very awake as I was so excited. We had to check out by 12am, midday. We'd packed the majority of our stuff the day before so it didn't take us long to get all our shit together, I knew my suitcase weight would be fine as the max was 15KG and mine weighted a mere 8KG on the way here! Compared to my friends...that was crazy light! I dunno how they packed so much stuff...
I was sorting out breakfast but as I poured out the milk it was obvious it had gone off. Cooked breakfast at the pool it was! So we dumped our stuff, checked out, checked the board to see when our coach was coming. It picked us up an hour and a quarter from now so we went to have some breakfast first. We didn't miss the coach or anything so that was okay but when we got to the airport there was a one hour delay! The whole coach moaned. Nevermind, I was in a cheery mood, I was going home! And it could have been so much worse. Marnie was really annoyed because she didn't feel well and just wanted to get home. The queue for check-in took forever! But I danced and sung in the queue like a nutter, I was hyper lol.
Security is nothing like in the UK or USA, it was super quick and you can take liquids with you so we had a few hours to kill which was annoying because there were very little shops. We had lunch at burger king and tried to pass the time by playing a word association game. Eventually we got round to boarding the plane, as we walked through the tunnel thingy, Bex dared me to kiss the plane, people were already staring at us like weirdos because we were so excitable, so I said no. And yet again, she said "Alex would kiss the plane!" True, he would you know. Sorry to let the crazy side down...
The flight was okay and when we landed it ended up we were only 30 minutes-ish late! The pilot must have flown super fast or something! We had to meet the taxi man, sure enough he was waiting for us. He looked scary at first, quite old, clubby with a dark mustashe but he turned out to be very nice! When we were in the super posh car, Bex joked about "What in-flight entertainment would there be?" I said "well hopefully we won't be in-flight!!!". Bex said "Oh yeah, unless this is Chitty Chitty Bang Bang".
"Or the Deloreon" I replied. Bex didn't know what car I was talking about so I explained it was the back to the future car! (Which she hasn't seen, fool!). The Taxi driver said "Wow! A girl who knows about cars! If you know anything about football I'd marry you!" I laughed but said "Sorry I don't do football...". It was very funny. Marnie yet again mentioned how laddish I am, she'd said earlier in the holiday I was like a bloke because I missed my PS3 and have a very bloke-esque "I don't care" attitude. I'll take that as a compliment...
The taxi guy dropped us all off, he really was a lovely chap. I stood outside my house in the light rain (a welcome home Laura, love Britain) and rung the doorbell...my mum answered and gave me a big hug and I hugged Ollie so much, I'd missed my dog so much! And he was going nuts so he must have missed me. I say up until midnight with her telling her all about my holiday and that I had presents to give out tomorrow when Sami comes home from school. My mum eventually went to bed and I waited up for dad so I could tell him a few things and give him a hug before I went to bed.
So all in all, a fantastic holiday. It was a shame Marnie was ill, she's going to the doctors soon, not sure what exactly is wrong with her but I don't think it's serious. I still think she had a good time in the end though, we kept busy everyday and we did so much more than just get drunk. We would have liked to have done more watersports if we could have afforded it but I'm sure we can do an adventure style holiday one day. I found going on holiday with Marnie differcult at times because of the way she is but me and Bex are very simular so we just end up making each other laugh. She's super relaxed like me, whereas Marn stresses alot. 3 people is always awkward too because at time I think we were leaving Marnie out, not on purpose, she just doesn't have the same humour as me and Bex. Plus if people want to split up, they can't, we are all forced to stick together which can be annoying at times. But still, I'm glad we went and it's lovely to come back and realise how much you were missed. It makes a girl feel loved, it makes going away all that more worth while. Love you all <3

Day 7-The final full day
This was the last day that we'd have a full day of being in Tenerife as we were leaving tomorrow. It's funny, we started to reflect on the people we missed most (and the animals we missed!), we also realised the whole holiday hadn't felt weird. Here we were in a foreign country, without our parents for the first time and we'd waited for a weird feeling to settle in but, for me and Bex at least, it never did. Even being at the airport felt so right. Independance is a great thing eh!
Anyway, today was shopping day, funnily enough I was more eager to go shopping than Marn! Oh how the tables had turned! I love buying presents for people, I only brought some for my family. I got a monkey with a funny hat and tenerife t-shirt for my dad haha! Because I knew he'd find it funny. I brought my mum a really beautiful bracelet, she seemed to like it alot. I got my sister a diddle photo album (Diddle is a mouse) and a travel alarm clock because I know she likes cute pink stuff. I wanted to get her a Hello Kitty but the Hello Kitty shop was very expensive, I wanted to get her a brown hello kitty as I'd never seen one before! I think it was meant to be Spanish Hello Kitty! It made me laugh as I wasn't sure if it was being politically correct or just plain racist, it was cute nonetheless, just expensive.
I also brought myself a couple of bargains, I got a pinky-purplish skirt that has a big bow you can tie up on the side. It's so pretty and was only 8euros! Bargain! I have nothing to wear with it though, so I need to buy a new top...I also got some really funky shoes, they're bright green and a silky kind of material, they are SO cool. You could get them in every colour but I thought green was nice and unusual for shoes and they were only 15euros! Bargain hunter girl strikes again!
As it was the last night, after a very long, hard day of shopping we decided to go out to eat somewhere really nice tonight. We set off down Veronica Strip and found an Italian style pizza place, me and Marnie shared a gorgeous pizza and then I had a chocolate pudding which was yummy! Then we decided to check out The Anchor which was a couple of doors down. We were given a leaflet for it the other day, we saw it did cheap cocktails and I'd been gagging for one all holiday, plus they had entertainment in there. We went in, shared a litre of cocktail which came with a funky little sparkler! And we watched some very good/bad people sing kareoke (sp?). One woman came on with her little girl who seemed to be only 3 or 4 years old. She was adorable. She sung "Video killed the radio star" in her little high pitched voice with her mum, it was the cutest thing I'd ever heard.
We left at 12:30 and drunkly stubbled home singing a variety of songs for some strange reason. We had to be quiet when we got back to the hotel. Marn basically went straight to bed but me and Bex were really hyper. She kept doing her hilarious impression of Frodo from Lord of the Rings which cracks me up everytime, the other day she was pretending to be Harry potter, she makes me laugh so much. I freaked Marn and Bex out with my golum impression hehe. Anywho, me and Bex were pissing around, prentending to be secret agents and sneaking around on our balcony MGS style. Bex wanted to play manhunt but I said one, there's only two of us and two, we'd get in trouble because our hotel is stupid. Bex joked "Alex would play manhunt if he was here!". Alex became the joke of the holiday, God knows how! We did get a knock at the door at one point but no call from reception, none the less we calmed down and eventually went to sleep.

Day 6-the second bar crawl!
Again, we didn't do much during the day, we got up late because of the previous night and went to find yet another beach which was only 5-10 minutes away, it was too crowded really and very hot but we had a yummy ice-lolly and soaked up the sun. I covered myself up this time as I didn't want to burn anymore. When we got hungry we went to a cafe on the beach for lunch, it was a really nice place and not too expensive but the waiters in Tenerife are all really flirty! The ones at the hotel bar/resterant weren't but everywhere else we went they were! Like winking at you and this one at this beach place said Bex had a sexy hat lol! He also thought me and Marnie were sisters, we literally look nothing alike! Crazy man! It was creepy but at least they were nice.
The night before for example, we walked past a pizza resterant and it smelt so good I said "Mmm I want pizza!" and this guy was stood outside trying to tempt people in asked Marnie if she wanted pizza, she no but she does! And pointed to me! Yeah cheers Marn! So he asked me and I said nah I'm ok thanks and he said "come back later ok?". We laughed and continued walking Marnie up to the end of the road...but of course we'd have to walk back past him very soon! D'oh! So we did indeed walk past him and he said "You come back for pizza or for me?" I laughed and Bex joked about how I couldn't resist staying away from him or something and he shouted after me "Come see me later and we'll go dancing yes?" so I laughed and shouted "Ok!", luckily by the time we walked home that pizza place was closed! He was very sweet though, not pervy so it was okay, just very funny.
Anyway, we went clubbing/bar-ing again but this time we started at 9:30pm and didn't stay up too late, think it was about 2am ish? We got to the first bar and Marnie needed to go back to the hotel yet again! The problem was she needed her meds because her stomach was killing her and her time of the month had started even though she was on the pill, which was odd so she needed to go back. It was late this time though, and dark. She wanted to walk back on her own, but we couldn't let her, it was too risky. Marnie started argueing with Bex about how she didn't want us to come but Bex said it's not about what you want, it's about what's good for your own safety! I couldn't understand why Marn was getting so pissed off and upset, she actually said at one point "I'm going to cry if you don't stop following me!". I guess she just felt very ill and wanted to be alone. We walked her half-way and watched her walk down the long road back to the hotel. Bex and I stood on the street corner for ages, pondering whether to follow her or leave her. Initially I didn't want to upset her anymore but Bex made the point that her being upset would be better than her getting hurt. So I decided we'd walk back and wait for her.
By the time we did decide to walk back we saw Marn come out of the hotel and sit on the bench outside. She saw us and Bex apologised but explained that we had to make sure she was safe. Marn rolled her eyes and looked rather pissed off and upset, she went back into the hotel to cancel a taxi she'd ordered. Good choice, but it would have cost her crazy money. It's a good job we did go back for her because she basically had a breakdown then and there about how "why did it have to me, I don't wanna be ill on fucking holiday!". I tried to tell her that it happens to everyone but she's been really strong and we hadn't spent one day where we've done nothing but stay inside because she's been ill. I made a good point and that cheered her up a lot once she'd had a rant about all the stresses she's got at the moment/this year. She's worried about her boyfriend going to Ibiza for two weeks (she doesn't trust him, God knows why), college, money and of course being ill. She did get over it though and we said to her we can go out for as long as she wants to, even if it's only an hour, because she did still want to go.
So we walked to the bar, cheering Marnie up with funny conversation, laughing about the fact "RAP SOLO" was written in brackets on a wall! We took a photo on the last night! Very funny times. We so should have written "DANCE OFF" on a pavement somewhere hehe. Anyway, the rest of the night went very well, we met up with the blokes we met the night before. Jamie was drunk even earlier this time, he was telling us about how nice it was to meet us because we were so "down to earth" not like the other girls in the bar who were all pretty slutty to be honest. He was drunk but we knew he meant it, we returned the compliment. We saw the girls and ended up dancing with them some of the night too, we got to go to Tramps again which was win because it is an amazing nightclub. All the girls were cowgirls this time ha! We still had tons of blokes trying to dance with us, we just moved away from the scary drunks/pervs. One thing ruined the night for us though, the bloke with the girlfriend we'd met, Jamie cheated on his girlfriend. We saw him dancing with some girl, really groping her and stuff and then they kissed and our hearts just sank. Marnie said she felt like crying and actually, so did I. It was so disappointing. We left after that, Marnie was insulting him the whole way home, me and Bex didn't exactly defend him but we did say she must have been absolutly smashed and really didn't know what he was doing.
Marnie said that wasn't an excuse, which is true but I bet he regretted in the next day, at least I hope he did. I hope he didn't sleep with her either...oh dear.
The whole event worried Marn even more about her BF going away but I explained that not all men are like that and that everyone makes mistakes, especially when drunk. I know I would never get that drunk and get off with a stranger because I know how to control myself but everyone is different...it was a shame really but I think Marn was really over the top but I guess she is in a relationship so it effected her more. We stayed up chatting for a bit about Marns' BF, I was telling her she's being silly and she has to trust him because if she doesn't, surely he's more likely to cheat, if you try and control a man, he will rebel usually, she just needs to have more trust and relax...after that we went to bed.
The night before for example, we walked past a pizza resterant and it smelt so good I said "Mmm I want pizza!" and this guy was stood outside trying to tempt people in asked Marnie if she wanted pizza, she no but she does!

Day 5-Pub Crawl
We didn't do much during the day as we were going out for a pub crawl that evening and it started pretty early (7:30pm). So we decided to lie in for a bit and go to a different beach we haven't been to yet which was about 10-15 minutes away. It was ok, not as nice as ours, it was very rocky but we walked further round where the sand was shit hot in the crazy sunshine (it was like 40 degrees apparently!). This was the day I burnt, it was crazy hot and sunny and sand got stuck to me because the suntan cream was sticky so it was hard to re-apply and I fell asleep a couple of times! I didn't get badly burnt, I had a red line on my boob where I'd missed right on the bikini line and my back went kinda pink, you could make out a perfect bow shape where my bikini had been tied up at the back! Was very cool I thought.
Later that evening we went out drinking! We met the rep and walked in a big group to the first bar when we got there though we realised how stupidly expensive drink was going to be! It was 5euros a drink and me and Marn had only brought 20euros and we thought we'd have to pay 15 to get into Tramps (later we learned we got in for free, d'oh!). As I knew we were getting free shots at every single bar I wasn't too bothered, I'd just have a couple of soft drinks. But Marnie really wanted to go back for more money, so she decided to walk back to the hotel. She couldn't remember the way, even though we'd walked there loads of times by now! This is what Marnie is like....lol. It was still light and very crowded, so we walked her back half-way and she'd meet us at the next bar because she knew where that was. She was fine and we helped her remember the way (it was very simple) so we met her at the next bar safely. I think I had about two alcoholic drinks, actually it may have been just the one! I didn't want to be ill after the whole booze cruise thing so I was sensible.
But oh dear lord...the men...oh my God the men...I got cornered up against the bar by someone who was literally off his face, I had to push my hand onto his chest to get him away from me, was weird. But after that, I really did lose count of how many blokes tried to put their hands round my waist or back! One blokes actually lifted up the back of the dress to look at my arse/knickers! It was discusting! I turned round and told him to piss off, which we did. Bastard. The most hilarious thing was I was wearing a long summer dress yet this dress seems to always attract people! Bex called it my sex dress and said even she was having a "gay day" because of it, haha! But we ignored the drunken twats and danced on the poles (they had poles you could dance on in every bar/club) and just had fun partying together. We ended up being out till 4am, so an 8 hour stint basically, we felt hardcore hehe. Plus we met a group of super awesome girls from Yorkshire who thought we spoke posh! HA! Bex does sound kinda posh though. They were staying in the same hotel as us so we hung out with them and danced with them and shizz, was much fun and safety in numbers is win.
At the end of the night we were sat outside Tramps chilling out when a couple of guys started talking to us. One of them Marnie had met earlier when she came outside to cool down so he pretty much just spoke to her. But this other guy (who never told us his name, we found out the night after it was Jamie) spoke to me and Bex. He was part of a big group of lads who had bright orange t-shirts saying "Knee deep in clunge"-an inbetweeners referance. Anyway, he was very drunk but very nice, the first bloke who hadn't come onto us that night! And he was really funny, he had a girlfriend too, both guys did which was nice to know and reassuring to us. Chris (the guy marn was speaking to) brought all three of us a rose which was so nice! I've never been brought flowers before, or even a rose for that matter so that was lovely.
It was rather funny when a random girl, kinda chubby or at least not slim, with braces, came round asking all the blokes sat near us for a dance or shag or something anyway! Basically, she was coming onto them and obviously they said no, they had girlfriends. Jamie really made us laugh he said, "If I ever cheated on my misses, which I wouldn't, I wouldn't do it with someone like THAT!". Was mean but very funny, his drunken manner was amusing and the girl was a slag! She deserved it. We went home after that, and so did they, we said our goodbyes and said we'd see them tomorrow and the next pub crawl. When we got home, we went to bed straight away, we were knackered.
Later that evening we went out drinking! We met the rep and walked in a big group to the first bar when we got there though we realised how stupidly expensive drink was going to be! It was 5euros a drink and me and Marn had only brought 20euros and we thought we'd have to pay 15 to get into Tramps (later we learned we got in for free, d'oh!). As I knew we were getting free shots at every single bar I wasn't too bothered, I'd just have a couple of soft drinks. But Marnie really wanted to go back for more money, so she decided to walk back to the hotel. She couldn't remember the way, even though we'd walked there loads of times by now! This is what Marnie is like....lol. It was still light and very crowded, so we walked her back half-way and she'd meet us at the next bar because she knew where that was. She was fine and we helped her remember the way (it was very simple) so we met her at the next bar safely. I think I had about two alcoholic drinks, actually it may have been just the one! I didn't want to be ill after the whole booze cruise thing so I was sensible.
But oh dear lord...the men...oh my God the men...I got cornered up against the bar by someone who was literally off his face, I had to push my hand onto his chest to get him away from me, was weird. But after that, I really did lose count of how many blokes tried to put their hands round my waist or back! One blokes actually lifted up the back of the dress to look at my arse/knickers! It was discusting! I turned round and told him to piss off, which we did. Bastard. The most hilarious thing was I was wearing a long summer dress yet this dress seems to always attract people! Bex called it my sex dress and said even she was having a "gay day" because of it, haha! But we ignored the drunken twats and danced on the poles (they had poles you could dance on in every bar/club) and just had fun partying together. We ended up being out till 4am, so an 8 hour stint basically, we felt hardcore hehe. Plus we met a group of super awesome girls from Yorkshire who thought we spoke posh! HA! Bex does sound kinda posh though. They were staying in the same hotel as us so we hung out with them and danced with them and shizz, was much fun and safety in numbers is win.
At the end of the night we were sat outside Tramps chilling out when a couple of guys started talking to us. One of them Marnie had met earlier when she came outside to cool down so he pretty much just spoke to her. But this other guy (who never told us his name, we found out the night after it was Jamie) spoke to me and Bex. He was part of a big group of lads who had bright orange t-shirts saying "Knee deep in clunge"-an inbetweeners referance. Anyway, he was very drunk but very nice, the first bloke who hadn't come onto us that night!

Day 4- Siam Park
I didn't feel too good when I woke up the next morning but I knew I'd be okay once we got going. Siam park is a new water park, it hasn't even been open a year. The theme of the park is ancient Thailand so all the buildings were beautiful and very reminisent of the most recent Tomb Raider! We got the free bus there (again we got lost, never trust Marn or Bex with a map and I felt too ill to even look at a map!). But, by the time we got there I felt as right and rain and was uber excited about the park and rightly so, it was fantastic. I've been to many a water park in America but this was clearly the best I've ever been to. All the rides were fantastic, I couldn't even explain them with words! Hopefully I'll have pics tomorrow of the park on facebook. But even that wouldn't do the park justice, I'm so glad we went. Marnie didn't feel all that great at first but after we went on the first few rides she felt better and really enjoyed herself which was good as it's the first day she'd properly enjoyed herself.
The only thing that annoyed me about the water park, they were so over-strict on safety. For example, I couldn't wear my glasses (which I needed to see!) on the lazy river! I mean ffs they're not going to fall off on a lazy river!!!! I wished I'd worn my contact lenses, I just didn't want to risk losing them. Oh well, it was a great day nonetheless.
That evening we were really hyper. We were all sat on the bed in our PJs and Marn and Bex were really hyper for no reason! We'd had nothing to drink but we were giggling so much! Then Bex farted and stunk up the entire room so we had to run out onto the balcony which was hilarious! So we were out on the balcony, laughing away, it was only about 1am, not too late, especially as plenty of people come back at 6am after clubbing and they MUST be noisy! Anyway, this guy shouts up, he sounds pretty lairy and says "Calm down!". So, naturally, I shouted back "NO U!". No response and we were all giggling away. Then he whistled, for reasons unknown to us, we couldn't see him but maybe he could see us, I don't know. Anyway, the bedroom was safe to go back into so we did, then coins were being thrown up onto the balcony! Which kinda freaked us out! What if someone was standing there and got hit in the eye with one! It also meant they were nearby which was kinda scary. We all sat back on the bed and decided to ignore it. Then the door buzzer went. We froze and went silent, whispering to each other, the buzzer went three times but we decided not to open the door because it could have been anybody! There was no peeking hole either to see who is was. They went away after three buzzes and then the phone went, we knew it would be reception. Bex picked it up and it was, they had a go at us for being to loud! We were only laughing and compared to the other night with the swearing and slamming doors at 3-4am it was nothing! Stupid hotel...oh well, we went to bed after that, our fun had been crushed by "the man" yet again! Hehe.

Day 3-Booze Cruise
We walked down to Leonardos to meet up for the booze cruise. Marn still felt a little unwell unfortunatly but we had paid for it so we had to go. We had our bikinis on and I was so excited! Of course the reps make you get there an hour earlier to try and sell you stuff and make you buy drinks at the bar. Drinks were only 2euros so I ended up buying two rum and cokes and of course, their measures are a about 4 times stronger over there so I got fairly tipsy which just made me even more excited and hyper! Me and Marnie brought a flower to clip into our hair, I had a big red one to match my bikini and Bex brought a necklace of flowers. There were two males DJs who were very funny, one called himself the Hoff because the booze cruise is Baywatch themed. They made pretty dirty jokes (such as telling us how much cum a whale produces and then saying "And you wondered why the sea tasted so salty!". I don't think Marn and Bex approved all that much as they were quite pervy but I found their humour very funny.
We got on the coach to be driven to the dock to get onto the boat. The catchphrase of the day (and after that, the whole holiday) was LET'S GET LEATHERED! And the Hoff shouted on the bus "Who's gunna gewt pissed today?!" and I went "Woooooooooo!" but everyone else was pretty much silent so I shouted "On your own!" which the guys sat infront of me found very funny. I wasn't embarassed, I was too tipsy to care!
Eventually we got on the actual boat, we all sat down (there were quite a few of us!) and then we were off! The free bar was open (a choice of cheap beer or wine) for the whole 3 hours we were on the boat and the music was on. So I grabbed myself some wine and we watched the whales as one of the main reason we came on the cruise was to see the whales! It was lovely to see them in the atlantic ocean rather than a theme park for once! We even saw a mother and baby together! They were beautiful. After we'd driven past where the whales were they stopped the boat and put down the anchor. What I forgot to mention is that one of the girls working on the boat was filming the whole journey and we would get to watch this video in the after-party which was free to go to. It also meant people were compeating for a free litre of cocktail at this after-party. They stopped the boat so people could jump off it, they were giving away free cocktails to the best bellyflop and the first girl/s to jump in the sea topless. I couldn't believe I was about to jump into the sea when I was pissed. But Bex was up for it so I thought why not! Of course I didn't bellyflop or go topless but I did jump in and they filmed it. Marnie didn't because she'd felt ill the whole journey because of her stomach and I don't think the rockiness of the boat helped. The sea was lovely and cold, I was amazed I didn't lose my contact lenses, I swam to the side of the boat and jumped in again! The sea made my mouth taste very salty and horrible so I grabbed a drink but all they had was beer so I ended up mixing spirits, wine and beer....not good! I wasn't ill on the ship though I felt fine!
Next they played some games to win cocktails, I'm glad I didn't volunteer they were very rude and pervy...the first one was called fluffy bunnies where one girl and one guy had to put marshmallows covered in chocolate in their mouths and not swallow or chew them and say "one fluffy bunny, etc" until one of them lost but the DJs ended up smothering both contestants with chocolate, especially the girl! I think one of them touched her boobs! So I was very glad I didn't do it...
The next game involved a boy and a girl getting in three different sex positions and pooping a balloon between them....VERY glad I didn't do that one! It was hilarious to watch but Marnie (yet again) didn't approve.
When we got off the boat and back to the hotel I laid down on the sofa and the effect of the booze kicked in! I felt dizzy, sick and I definatly couldn't go to the after party. I slept for a bit and then told Marn and Bex they could both go and that it was ok to just leave me here so they went while I tried to sleep. After they left I suddenly realised sleep was not going to help. I got up (i'd just been sick into the bathroom bin, lovely but it wasn't much at least), I looked in the mirror, I was still in my bikini and my hair was a mess so I decided to have a shower. I was unsure as to whether this was a good idea but I had to do something to sober me up! Amazingly, I felt so much better! I had some toast and jam and lots of water and I really did feel completly sober. I got rather bored though, waiting for Bex and Marn to come home, I wish I brought my PSP...not sure why I didn't! Stupid girl but oh well, when they got back they said I didn't miss much, they had to watch the other boats video which was boring and we weren't on the video much. So I was glad I didn't miss out. We stayed up and chatted for a bit before heading to bed.
