A Wet Shopping by Train

Well, this was not expected, but in ways almost drew lames of and overdue but in another way, it's what cost this was to happen. There might or might not be a vlog about it down below but alot of new things ill admit, this was one week later

A break upstart.

So this is going to be the killer, things seem fine for the past week, sure what was meant to be fine was but n Saturday 2 friends got a message which was about me and some major shit-stirring but also with a mix of things only myself and them know, which after and during a family meal on Sunday, has undone the best moments of the past year. But what I will give you is something that well actually ended up more insults to me like words I say to make myself sound like an incel and also there were lies about even who she was except I fed her years ago, like 1 to 2 years ago.

Insert conversation here

But with that and having to rush payouts and also alot of pay pal drama sorted which some person decided to make a fake Gmail with my name and then used a card and address and actually causes me to have debt collector letters. Now since that happened on the 23/12/19 it was almost a month sorting it and the team at pay pal eventually found out and helped me through it. Minus closing work for a shopping 2 hours to get it sorted. But Wescott did do their best and helped me out a fair bit too.

I also started a review on the Mi band 4 to finally put it to use

The band 4 with the 

Now that's out of the way it's the day.

The morning for a visit

I was awake, sure the time was 8:40 and I did confirm a tiny bit with the girl I was seeing which actually is the same as whom I saw in August since it's finally our second meeting and things have changed and okay yes invest but next too.

I got up by 8:45 and cleaned the cat's bin and a phone call from my mum who lost her keys but she got them a showed for me and then it was time to rush and get bits, I didn't have time to take a camera but Phones will do the quality anyway. I started running by 9:13 and got there to the bus stop in 2 minutes, like no way it's much easier to run using the band now, a few taps and im doing a workouts

An empty road

Waiting at the bus stop

I got on the bus for a return for £4.20 just in case but I wanted to make sure I can see it through in but by 10:40 I got there. Then I rested by the veranda or the marina bit and vlogged before I went to the customer's house and got what needs to be fine.

Waiting at the river

I sat on that barge bit for a vlog

I finished about 11:20 and got a text saying about tired and wait until next week which I had this feeling but I replied saying im running to get the train and I ran my way I got there 3 minutes early and the station wifi was handy and worked but not that quick enough to hope for a reply.

The station

The train and run

I got on the train and sat on a comfy part of the train and it's nice and posh compared to when I was on this last, must have been years ago but after paying £5.20 for a single to the station I needed, it ass a peaceful wait and feeling a warm journey to the station

The estuary 

Eventually, by 11:55, I was at the station and since I heard no reply I waited out there for a few minutes for the rain be less heavy. We decided to run from the station to town not that long actually,  about 28 minutes, the mi band was doing really well and only some couple was like "you could look where you're going" just as I stopped by a parked car to let then through cheeky shits. But I got to a wet town and we'll a lot has changed since I've not been around town since really August last year.

Using the band and it didnt really record much. 

The browse

So my first port of call was drakes circus to get a toilet break. Now it was nice and also I saw HMV disappear as well as Krispy Kreme. But after I walked out of the toilets, past the 3 stores to look for the redmi note 8. But then it was my way to Taco Bell and I saw The Krispy Kreme where the pretzels we originally. Then I went in to game for a quick check and it was a season of sonic sale on too.

Town and the taco bell. 

Now taco bell did have a nice smell simile to what I felt in Colindale and it was nice the menu sad write responsive and you can remove the cheese from the meals which were nice. Then I walked down to game which had some event on so if was close for the moment on the gaming side but with the retail side had some moments and good deals and all. Then it was to CEX and as I walked in I saw lu the girl I had my 4th ever date with and she was on the phone but smiled with her rounder self, it's so weird since that nearly 2 years ago that happened. I walked in and looked at some GPU's and also some laptops and switches, not too bad prices to be fair. But after that, it was to pond and.

As I went into Poundland it was not to busy but I found cables I needed and snacks that I might want but I skipped that and made my way to Brandmax. As I made my way there, it was wet and then I got up and looked at some good deal jeans, some like 32" w 34 l jeans for £7.99 which is nicer than the Primark ones. I hesitated on them so I walk on down to explore more. Then it was on to the second Poundland and it was time for some Durex, foot soles and 2 x USB type C cables, well normally they are like £6 so £1 each is awesome value

Then I walked my way down to near the market, and one of those repair shops had a screen protector for my note 7 which actually fitted a Huawei P smart 2019, but not for £10 in all honesty. So I walked away and down to wants for the next lot of thing, some GPU's and all. But en I walks out and go to cash converters and some good deals in Xbox one consoles but then I walked my way back up and throw the alleyway by TK max. But as I was here I had a phone call from a customer to cancel the home visit I was meant  have with her on the way back. Then it leads me to the other sidecsbd time to smell the oriental shop and the bags of crispy seaweed were tempting me I will admit. But I walks around and then walked out and upwards to visit the barcode

The barcode

As I walked out of Primark and down to the steps where the bust station use to be, I walked into an empty carpark well almost empty and ha that new smell with it, it was very odd feeling to walk in there warm sure, but like an abandoned car park, the lift access was quite a way away but I got there and then walked to the gold which was at the bottom right of the place.

The Barcode

I walked in and it was an odd smell but the bad and arcade were closed, so I walked out, I'll do a vlog of that maybe another day. So it was then to explore level 0. I first walked into Cineworld and it felt nice and there was a rep greeting me and helping me with movie choosing or how to use the machine anyway but I then walked out and into Fivd guys, the smell was lush but the value for money was not, my Activision and another publisher rep called me just at the moment and asks if I was in a basketball court, I said no a five guys but then she reminded me of some overdue Tennis order so ill bundle or with some monster trucks game. I walked them to Cosy club which felt nice but the price was steep for brunch parts and more for people that link to drink constantly.

The End of the trip

But alas it was my time for one last l.ook at Taco bell and then Menkind, which had some ideas on things, Like the Megadrive mini, some signs I could use for work and also a kit for vlogging which later on i've managed to get in touch with. But then it was to the Brand max to get some Jeans. Not bad for £7.99.

The new jeans for £7.99

Then it was a nice walk back up, first off I went to Hosue of Frasier and tried some Dior Sauvage, well it was nice but I don't get the girls chasing down the street meme of it, well not for the £70 Price tag anyway.

 I went to the EE store for a little chat about plans then I walked to Royal Parade. Which then was a Sprint for the Bus, and it was then a £5.20 to get back to Tavi. There was still no text at all.

Portrait Selfie on the way home

Then I got off the bus to Lidl and it was a Run from there back home. It was dryer but a damp sense in the air. But I got home and then found out since no one has been home, Rosie had messed on the floor, since actually if I just didnt rush to make sure something would happen, I would have been able to walk her and well actually none of what you saw would happen. But this actually has been a shit start to the month but I've got plans to make it work out again. But then it was a nice Beef and Chicken Balti. 

The tea for that night. 

Well here we are, I'll try to get more vlogs and videos up and with things to sort out, it will be a delay for that to happen. I'll see you soon.

the 5th date....or not

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

A Sunny Windy lunch date

Well., this was a unexpected turn of events which really ended up amazing, completing a new years resolution and maybe a new chance at life. But it was a fun time. So lets begin with the vlog below:

A prep in the morning, 

So, I wake up at the normal time and get stuff going, with a plan to do what I always do, travel to the visit then browse around the town. That was fine, I put a shower on and had a belt on both legs from when i bought them saturday. Then got changed and ready to bike it out, trying some odd filter on instagram for the vlog. But by 10:10, i was off. 

The cycle was quite slow, maybe it was the belt hurting my thighs and the traffic at derriford. But I managed to get to the Hoe by 12:10 and that was directly from Tavi. BUT, while biking, i received a snap from someone i added from feabie and it gave me an idea, so I pretty much asked her if she wanted lunch, you know, my treat and all, which then she was a bit nervous but actually she was ok to have it, It did delay me biking and also nearly made me fall over trying to type and ride at the same time, but i was elated, a nice size and was happy to meet up, this was not expected and it did push me to ride faster. But the traffic was busy and i got there. 

The snap that got this going

The first visit. 

Well i parked my bike nice, it was interesting to get the lock on eventually. but it was locked and then I walked to the customer's place and helped her out with a few things, with my mind buzzing on how this lunch date ish will go down.

The bike was parked. 

Eventually we finished at 1:15 and I made my way to town to meet her, I let her know i was on my way and we made some mini innuendos but I got to the usual place I park the bike..

The lunch date...ish

So I parked up and then I went to M&S to get prepped up and then i walked down to see her by yo-sushi, she looked my type, cute eyes, lush long hair, big belly and we greeted and then we wandered for somewhere to eat while some mini chatter, she said she was pretty indecisive but that didn't matter, we both were in most cases. But after waiting in Yo Sushi, we wandered to Maccies and the machines were playing up slightly, in the case of the order tills not working. So we left and went to burger king in the end. 

As we went up escalators, she told me about her uni course and then we managed to get to BK and order. I went for the chicken royale meal and she went for chicken strips meal and i added in a chocolate brownie, well that feeder has got to do something and I know it would be brownie points (literally since chocolate brownie), but then it all arrived. £14.10 was the total for both of us, I paid on card (i said lunch was on me), but then we were chatting and eating and she giggled a few times, i did too, she smiled at me and we did gaze into each others eyes, her round face was really nice too 

The £6.39 chicken royale

The amount we talked about was alot, i mean like we were sat there for an hour chatting, mostly about food and takeouts, she uses approved food like I had done and told me about one in Plymouth which actually another friend had told me about, Rogers it was called. I understood her on that and that was good for both, but we also joked about the spoon for the brownie being like a shovel as she was eating it. She really loved food and that was a good sign, we both talked about the past and also feabie alot. But there was a tiny bit of fat talk in there and she did notice i was nervy, especially since this is the second type of meal with a girl I've ever had and also first girl I've met from Feabie. 

Also work's supplier called me and i said to her "could you call back later, I'm on a date right now"

Eventually, it was about 3 pm and we finished up and started to wander around. 

Shopping and goodbyes. 

Well we wandered into Poundworld first as well as her saying about this massive cup of coffee she was given this morning, making her light headed now, that and she was no keen fan of greggs, like the Cornish at heart she was, but then we went to poundland and instantly, bras was in front of us, we joked and i was hinting of getting snacks but she wasn't that hungry. So we walked and I ended up seeing some gioteck stuff for cheap so i bought it, oh and card reader and usb cable due to a breakage with a customer loan last week. 

Then as we went to the self service, I had trouble since their internet was cutting out badly, so £9.00 took 2 attempts to pay on card. But eventually we walked out and then we went to the bus stop for her bus home, which one had arrived by 3:45, so we said our goodbyes and I offered if she wanted to do this again or "worst case scenario, we could over do it in a buffet" and she laughed before a slightly unsure hug. Then I walked off and headed back to town. Giddy from what just happened. 

Walking back into town

I browsed CEX first before seeing nothing i had liked then it was to Game, which had some ideas flowing in my mind, so a phone call or 2 was the plan on the way back to the bike, which was some capture kit I was looking to make up for work was already a legit thing. Never less, I decided it might be better to look to buy the kit before selling it on. 

The long journey home.

Well after that phone call, I managed to leave but had to call another supplier first, so using the headset, I was on my way home and from one call, came another. The first supplier thought i was in the Gym and the second thought I was running 15 miles home, sure i've done that but not in this case. 

My legs were sore and aching, feet were cold and also sunset was approaching, But the queues up derriford again and the Mcdonalds was a nightmare to deal with, the LED lights were actually working and well, after 2 hours and 20 minutes, I was home. In the dark by 6:35 and coming home to a spicy fajita mix. 

The tea from that night

And there you have it, a near 4th date happened, with talking, dream sizes and also deals to see. IT was something that felt like a fluke but it also crossed out a New Years Resolution that has been for nearly 2  years running, which is a change for me. But I've got more videos coming soon and more fun with Team Spectra too when a new son is calming the excitement. Enjoy the freezing February for now...

A Saturday Xmas Shopping Spree

The final shopping vlog of 2017, boy, it was a busy, expensive and exhausting one to say the least. But minus a important present, I've got all who I needed to get. So let's enjoy this vlog when in a rush on a cold and things didn't go how I planned.

The journey,

So I was Planning on cycling in, it would of made it easier in some sense if I didn't buy as much as I have, but instead mum and dad were heading to B&Q so it made a good idea on tagging along with them then my own way to Town. There was chatter, runny noses and also 2 Xmas cards my dad had to drop off, but then then by 10:20. I was running my way to town.
The sky was clear blue, the pavement was closed and I was running on it anyway, the runny nose was making a protest and sweat was soaking me up. But I managed to make it over in about 43 minutes which is pretty good with rucksack and a cold.

Heading for town

The shopping

I had a list of things to get. Some of which were cheap and some were more money than I guessed. But we head off to drakes circus for our toilet business first.

What the list of things I had to buy (Crossed out is what has been purchased in blogpost)

The lights from Drakes Circus

Once that was done, we got the first present. Next, it twas, with  the scarf and giftcards. well, I noticed a set of a Scarf, Mittens and a Pompom hat which came to about £34 and then a giftcard on top worth £25. £59.00 was the first of my worries.

The set from Next and the Giftcard. £59.00

Halfords was the next place to go, and a autogylm kit wax and cloths to make it £25.00, this was to go with some headphones from work.

Looking towards Halford to Maplin

The Autoglym Kit and Cloths. £25.00

Then i managed to get to buy something on impulse, Google Home Mini, now £34, there was no reason to pass on it, gulped the one charcoal up.

Hope, which has been and gone in life these days #throughglass

Google Home Mini, finally mine £34.00

Then I went to Met Rx and asked about something for Katie, but sending it will be a pain so I didn't bother. But then it was looking in different shops and bargains and glass having a dying battery. Recharging it and exploring was nice, people busy, Christmas songs, 5 for £1 on reduced things and more. The aloe vera juice was what i was going to go for looking back on it now.
Then it was to the market, not much there but computerbase had a card reader which was exactly what I needed,so £4.99 to fix an SDXC card might  be ideal.

The SDXC Card Reader for £4.99

After this, I went to look for a phone, yes, for my Grandad, since he wants a budget phone to use as a mini tablet, but he doesn't need it powerful, so it was deciding to either use my supplier, or use Argos or a second hand shop, but after looking in both, I didn't bother. Which then it meant on to the Land of the Pound, which actually has been in trouble ish on credit ratings, but from the looks of things, people were buying off the bat, with no intention of small queues. This was really the case, the queue was too long to even bother, but a usb cable i was needing, it even was out of stock of that too. So i was to walk up to the other Poundland.

The bottom of town always has ideas #throughglass

Then we pass Greggs, an important part of this journey, but this is where the day felt downhill. So i walk in there, with a queue, i let a girl who was after me who friend of the girl in front, go before me. Since a simple sausage roll, then i go. With a nice rep asking and so i ask for 2 x £25.00 gift cards. Which at this point, it always happens with me since the rep has to ask another rep for help, happened in Pizza Hut, Happens in Weatherspoons, Happens in Nandos and other restaurants. But then i ask for how much a cheapest cold drink was, which was a walk to the fridge and see £0.80 for a bottle of warter, which was a fair posh price. But i go back and she tells me that they have run out. My Face dropped, plans ruined, and well it basically made me say "i've planned this for months and a simple thing like a giftcard is always tricky", I even asked if they could just print it on a Piece of Paper. but nope, then i just walked out.

But then it was to the Christmas Market, well after the 2nd Poundland. This was actually much easier and less queues, like the new Twin Peaks bar to buy for mum and dad, the usb multi cable, wrapping paper and more Apple Pies for my dad. So that was a nice £7.00. Also that Vlog kit might be useful next week too. 

The £7.00 combo from Poundland

Then it was the Christmas market. Now lets go from the beginning which has the Xmas trees tent which then leads to more stalls than work sometimes. But from Bars (3 of them) to a couple of BBQs, some churros and also the clothes and other bits of craft. But i noticed a stand with scarves and I saw this nice colour one for my nan for £8.50, which I bought that one too. We also talked about plastic bags (48 for £1.00) she, the rep joked "Thats too expensive for me" which made me wonder if that deal is a rip off and how bad she would react to 100 for £3.00. But it was nice anyway. 

the scarf for £8.50

The Xmas Tree Tent

Pig President Meme is actually a real business

Then it was off to GAME, which things were looking intresting, busy and N Sane Trilogy was £22.99 and I was tempted to purchase that for work since its cheaper than others. But i passed and made my way up to Drakes Circus for one last bit. Wondered into boots but it was wayy too crowded so I went to newlook but that was busy and why was i in here, I asked myself so, I went back to boots and looked for Nivida (I meant Nivea) But went for a Dove set for £16.00 in the end for my mum. 

The Dove Set

But there was nothing there after this for me, so it was time for me to pack up and make my way to FarmFoods. I Packed up and another 37 minute run endured. 

Pacmking some of it up

Looking back to north hill

The flyover #throughglass

Steps up

The distance I had ran, it did make my nipples hurt

With the rain coming on, it made it harder to run but once i got to FarmFoods, I was blessed with deals and i was wondering around for the Fruit Section. I ended up picking up Strawberry, Mango and Pineapple. 3 for £5.00. Then it was a case deal I would be excited at. 3 x 24 Cans of drinks for £17. So thats 69 cans for £17.00, holy shit that was a deal, so after calling mum and texting her, I went for Lilt, Fanta Zero and 7up. That was then and I added some Jubbly ice lollies as well as a drink for me. £23.89 was the value but getting it home, well that was a tricky moment. But the rep was super helpful as well as hindsigthed. But I managed to heave all of it to the Crownhill Flyover bus stop in time for the bus.

some of the deals for £23.89 is shown like the 3 packs of cans for £17.00

Struggling with that was a fun and distracting moment, but after i gulped down the lilt can that fell out, the bus arrived. Which by damaging the Dove box, I manged to heave it. I got on the bus for the £5.00 single back to Tavi, Sat where push chairs and wheelchair riders go and relaxed there, with the clouds dark, the roads soaked and also the bus pretty busy, I even saw a customer and we chatted nicely. But then I also called mum and she was in tesco in Tavi so it wasn't that far to get a lift back since i was being lazy af today really. 

Getting to Lidl before going home

Then that was it, I was finally home and it was the end of a long day. I'll get a Christmas haul up and it will show more presents than last time. But something more relaxing for this year.
