Home again... :o(

Today we got up stupidly early and got a couple of buses across edinburgh, in bereft silence, to the airport. After a remarkably reasonably priced hot choclate and croissant, while Jenny got scared that she had left her nail scissors in her hand luggage and would be branded a dangerous terrorist, we went to the gate and boarded our plane for an uneventful journey back to Brimingham. Birmingham, btw, is one of the most confusing poorly designed airports i've ever been in! We couldn't even find check-in when we left and we were't the only ones... Anywayz, then we got lost finding the exit aswell... not help by the fact that i think we were both ridiculously tired...
Then at Birmingham New Street we decided to go home via the Bullring, since i'd not been there since it opened. It was sehr nice, but we got tired of trying not to knock stuff of with our backpacks and then we wandered into Supredrug and the alarm went of, so clearly it would go off as we left as well... and it did - so we hung around, nobody came, we started to walk away and some bloke said the alarms went off as we left and we said that we'd noticed that... but that they'd gone off when we went in aswell and he said fine and let us go. Now i can't help thinking that if you're a shop lifter, this is a really easy get out... you simply bring something you know will set of the alarm as you going IN, and then you'er sorted, with that kind of attitude... hohum.. i don't understand some people. But anywayz... then we got scared of the shops and decided to head home... hehehe... we make me laugh ::)

Anywayz, got home and fell asleep... then in evening i went to a friend's friend's quiz night, who was rasiing money to do the New York marathon - and good luck to her!!! and we were beaten by 3.5 points, out of about 150... so close yet so far! But it was fun :)
