All change again on the party front. After a little time spent thinking down the gym, it suddenly struck me that this will be the first time I've been drinking in months so the hangover come morning could well be sizeable. Do I really want to be dealing with driving home feeling rough as hell after spending a night on a friend's sofa? Do I bollocks!
So, for one night only, finances be damned and I'm checking myself in to the Travelodge. And here's me not even realising Newcastle had a Travelodge until last night. I'm also getting the train both directions, on an open ticket so I can spend as much time as I want nursing my sore head the following day before finally heading homewards.
Despite these positive steps forward, the present situation is still somewhat uncertain. I've officially had to give up on one idea since it apparently hasn't been released yet, and there's still no sign of anything arriving in the post. Yesterday's scouting round town proved fruitless, but I've had a couple of other ideas overnight which I'm more hopeful will work out.
That means today's line up includes gym, shopping, graduate applications, the second half of episode 3 of Ugly Betty series 3 and Burn After Reading. Oh, and probably some more time playing Paper Mario. I swear I had more free time than this when I was working full time.
