just back from an amazing 2 - and a bit days in Wales (long story - but we were there like 3 hours later than we should have been due to mine and mums crappy navigation skills) - I've finally met Marcia! :) I don't wanna say too much because I don't wanna jinx anything but she is awesome, seriously. her family liked me (which is always a plus) and we went bowling (which for once I didnt actually suck at,) walked around Swansea, and yesterday before we came home we went to this mining museum...which was pretty interesting. made you realise what an utterly shit job being a miner actually was. plus loads of other random stuff. so yeah, had a rly good time :) and she's hopefully coming up sometime soon...even if she doesnt her entire family (mum, dad, sister, brother in law and niece - who is a major handful) are on about coming up in like 2 weeks. eep. lol. (she will be with them but she wants to come up by herself) ...in other news I've fianlly passed my driving test! :) yayness. 8 minors but hey, I did it. of course now though I have got to clean my car...urgently. so thats an update on the world of Big. oh btw anybody fancy coming to see Avril later this month? let me know.
