19th - 22nd Sept

Our eight months, spent together ✓

Monday 19th, September:

I started travelling at 10:30am and didn't get there until 4:30pm, so the travelling gave me time to think of my girl and redo my make up. So on the first train I just relaxed and made sure my lips were not chapped and moisturised. I kept putting Chapstick on until I saw my girl to be honest as soft lips are much nicer to kiss.When we got back to the van we had some chips and snuggled on the sofa before she had to get ready for work. It felt so nice to snuggle her again and kiss her. Then the time had come to get her all made up for work and I redid my make up for like the third time that day. 

After a good forty minutes of getting her ready and distracting her, we walked up to her work and I started talking to one of the guys on the bar who brought me drinks all night. Which was good. I mean free drinks all night, get in. Only problem is that when we got home and I mixed the JDs and coke I had been drinking all night with the cocktails I brought for me and my girl to celebrate with it made me tip over the edge and I went from tipsy drunk to drunkish! Which I paid for through out the night. However when I was ill it didn't feel like drunk sick but allergy sickness, but we will never know. 

Tuesday 20th, September:

We woke up and I was still being ill, and almost ready to call off the day out with two of our friends D & E, but I pulled through. In the car on the way to the station, as well as on the first train I felt like I was going to puke.... But I didn't! Yay :)

When we got to Southend, baby wanted to go and get food but the smell was just turning my stomach so it was water for me then we met the girls by the front. Then it was bowling time, and my luckiness had worn off.... I used to always get at least one strike but no, I was the only one out of all of us who got a strike.

After two games, we decided to play pool. The girls needed to get some money so baby and I decided to hang around and play air hockey (she won) and then on to the dance mat; which is our thing because of Imagine Me and You being our favourite lgbt film. If you haven't watched it, then you should! After breaking the pool cue and taking forever to finish the game because let's just say I'm sh*t at pool we decided to take a walk back to D's car so she could top up the parking meter.

On the way back to the car, I spotted a photo booth which allowed for multiple poses. So now we have a four picture of us, I'm not super happy with it, but it's the first one like that we have so it will always be special.

Queens of funny faces

When she comes up here we will get another one done, and we will plan our poses before we go in!After topping up the car, we were all pretty hungry so headed to the three shells café.

Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures so that's from google, but the food was so nice there and it was so relaxing looking over the sea! Hence it being called Southend-on-sea! Yes, we had a debate about this over dinner as we were having so many funny conversations with the girls. Honestly, I think we are going to be friends for a very long time and go on many more double dates :)

When they had to leave us, it was a long goodbye, hugs and promises we will meet again soon! Then it was the blue ice cream search, baby had seen a young boy with some, which meant she wanted some.... Eventually we found some.

Yum, a huge ice cream!

Then it was the cutest little sweet shop! We spend £10 between us, which reminds me that baby didn't give me the money back for her share. Oh well. It was then, and I don't need it now. Due to us spending so much time in the sweet shop, we missed our train back by 1 minute. Which meant we were going to miss the sunset, which later on the Wednesday night baby told me that she was going to propose in front of. Just thinking about that and writing it makes me smile, but I hope I get to propose to her first because I have it all planned out perfectly in my head. 

Waiting for a lift back, sharing candyfloss!

Wednesday 21st, September:

This was our last day together. We lay on the sofa in between her working, then the one long break she had she decided that because we hadn't been on the walk to beach the night before we'd go today. We sat looking out over the river (?) for a while, and throwing stones into the water clogged sand which made lots of noise for a little stone - which amused us.

Then we got back and it was time for baby to go to work again for the night. Instead of sitting alone I sat with a cute family with a little baby. I've never been maternal, and baby saw me holding the baby, playing with her and then rocking her to stop her crying and it made me smile. After a few songs on karaoke the night was closed and the pizza I had ordered earlier was ready to be consumed.

Completely sober doing karaoke, how'da thunk'd it.

We went back to the van, in the pouring rain, heat up the pizza and then went to bed where I got emotional because it was my last night there. Which meant we were awake until stupid o'clock in the morning, and that took a toll on baby the next day as I think she had about 4/5 hours sleep.

Thursday 22nd, September:

Every moment we had left together was spent snuggling because we had no idea when we will see each other again, we still don't. That timer is just a guide, because I'm hoping we will see each other by then.
