Catch the train to Manchester. Not very exciting.
Get to the train station and get met by Net. Lovely Simon has booked us a hotel room at the Ibis across from Paradise Factory so we can enjoy a proper girlie weekend.
Throw our stuff down and get ready to go out. Meeting my mates Ian, Olly and Naj later on. Go to Odder, which used to be Zumbar. Not too busy cos the students not back from hols yet - thank f*ck! Start drinking. Ian meets us, then Olly. Few more drinks.
Carry on to Blue in the Northern Qtr. More drinks. Naj meets us. Just chat.
Naj drives us to the village where we go to Baa baas for shots. Night kind of getting hazy at this point......Naj leaves. More drinks??? Not sure now. Kind of blurry. Pizza, kebabs? All a mess now.
Back to hotel, more wine. Need sleep. Kick fellas out and promtly pass out.

Wake up. Headache. Net and I lay in bed watching Saturday kitchen. Super hungry. We want noodles! Get ready and go to China town. DISASTER!!!OH NO!!! Nothing's open yet!! What are we going to do?? We're starving!! Go to Starbucks for our coffe fix until the place opens. Coffee is actually very filling. Full now, but still want noodles.
China town open, noodle craving fulfilled.
Next, Dress shopping time!! Net shows me her 2 potential dresses for the wedding next week. We pick a dress for her. She looks lovely in it. I feel left out and decide to buy a fancy frock too. We both now have fancy frocks.
7 hours later we finish our shopping marathon and are utterly exhausted. Nap and then get ready to go out again. Decide to go for Spanish Tapas with Helen and her fella Hugh. Traipse around town to 3 different tapas places, all of which are booked out. What to do!! Where else can you go without a booking?? Rusholme of course. Taxi to Rusholme for yummy curry heaven!
After walk back to the hotel and go to bed. Rock n' Roll!!!

Rise and Shine. One last girlie thing to do before I catch my train. Make over!! We have booked a makeover at MAC. Both get properly made up. A little OTT for the time of day. Spend lots of money on make-up and then walk through town to train station. Both very self concious since we look so over done. No time to take it off cos me got a train to catch. Say our goodbyes and I spend the next 5 hours trying my best not to smear my over plastered face.
