The idea was that I was arranging a team trip to the cinema to see Fame. One of those occasions where you mention it and everyone’s like ‘Yeah!!’ and then the excuses come in when it actually comes to it. (I’m totally usually one of those people!) So Saturday Me and Keel went to Chelmsford. It was crazy!! I forgot how much I hate town centres on a Saturday anyway, but there were loads of weird and wonderful things going on. Photos here: Street Diversions show a little bit of some of the things. There were some builders performing outside the old Woolworths which was quite good fun. So we wandered round a bit, I went to O2 to try and get my phone sorted, got a coffee from Costa (poor girl wasn’t having a good day!) and spent much of the afternoon in the park watching a sculpture which breathed fire and water! Went to see Fame at the cinema in the evening…hmmm. I was so excited, but actually left disappointed. I really enjoyed the film while it was happening…but when it finished I realised that nothing had actually happened, and they didn’t even do the song!

Sunday I went to LWCC again with Tricia, and really enjoyed it. They have custard creams at the end of the service…always a good thing! We had roast dinner and plum crumble…can’t remember the last time I had a roast and crumble, good times! By this point I had spent much of my time texting round people to try and organise some sort of gathering. So i headed off to Lake Meadows in Billericay, met Keel, Becca and Ben and we spent a couple of hours in the park. Ben climbed a tree…that was about the height of excitement. Then he went home and the three of us went for cranberry juice/J2O/Orange and Lemonade/Chips/Chocolate Fudge Cake/Pepsi/Coffee at Wetherspoons!

So overall I enjoyed my weekend. Now for rehearsals and preparations for Grantham. And we’re off bowling on Tuesday night.

I’m stuck in bed. Everytime I get out of bed I throw up. Its very frustrating! So I’m listening to Radio 1, where they play basically the same songs every 3 hours and you hear the same plugs. Pretty boring. Feeling ok enough to be on my laptop for a bit, but basically I’ve been snuggling under the duvet and snoozing a little bit. The last time I threw up was about 3.15pm and I used the 5mins of feeling betterness to shower and change into some clean pjs. My sister is poorly too so we’ve been comparing notes!

Here’s the irony…
Yesterday I was chatting to Andy and Joy and said ‘on day 4 of the first week last year I was really ill. Kept throwing up and had to go home’. Then a bit later on I was chatting to Becca, Jack and Ben about illness on tour and being sensible and how you will end up being ill on your days off because you can’t afford to be ill when you’re working.

So Tricia is looking after me, she’s a nurse, making sure I’m drinking lots (apparently real Coca Cola is good, has the right balance of sugar and salt) and forcing me to eat some dry toast.

About time to get a chick flick out i think.

Thank you to the wonderful people who have been texting and ringing me to keep me smiley: Mum, Sarah, Lewis, La Roche, Becca and Keel. You have kept me from going insane! x
