Hi please note the time..........am exhausted physically and mentally. Went up for a flying visit y/day to Harrogate to see Thomas. He has been home sick and lost at w/ends as its too far to get home and most of the other lads do. He ordered himself a new laptop to keep him occupied, I had it delivered her so I could take it up. So bought my train ticket on Frid, 5 hours up on Sat, 5 with him and 5 back! Then 7pm on Frid he phones all upset, been told he cant leave camp until 2.30pm even though he is supposed to have the w/end off. He said we would only have a couple of hours so he understood if I said I wouldnt go. He was so fed up bless him, I told him two hours was better than nothing. Dh said why didnt I see if I could find a cheap room for the night, I could then see him for longer, get some of Sunday with him as well. So searched for over 2 hours and finally late Frid night found a single room for £65, everything was booked, half-term and bank holiday w/end. So txt Thomas and told him not to worry. So set off at 7.30am y/day, at 10am he texts to say they have been told they cant leave the camp at all!! So I was furious but poor kid! I arrived in Harrogate at 12.45pm and shortly after he text to say they had now decided to let them go! So he grabbed a taxi and met me and we had a lovely afternoon, meal out and then he came to the b&b for an hour. He had to be back by 7.30pm so left in a taxi at 7. I was wishing I had HMs</strong> phone number, I felt so lonely after he had gone. Sat and watched the stupid Eurovision song contest then shattered I turned off my light before 11pm, only to be woken up with a start at 1pm with loud voices outside my room. Two blokes obv the worst for wear trying to get into their room, they carried on for over an hour. Finally went to sleep, text message at 7am from Thomas, he said they were told they have to go to church service and so really sorry he wont be able to meet me until at least 11.30am. So I said that's fine, my train is at 4pm we will still have some time together. I left the b&b at 10am and killed time looking round the shops, my left foot I am having trouble with was killing me. at 11am he once again texts to say no one is allowed out, kit inspection!! Well I just wanted to cry by that point, he was obv upset. I said to him do they know I have come all this way to see you? He said yes they knew but it makes no diff. So I said I would give until 12 and head for the train. At 11.50am he texts to ay he is just getting into a taxi they suddenly let him go!! Talk about messing with your mind, poor kid. So we had another 4 hours which was nice, a tearful goodbye and I left. Felt sad coming home, got on the train from St Pancras and had the journey from hell as far home as Dover. Hundreds of football fans, singing, boozing, swearing. I have had such a lovely time
So how is everyone, any thing I have missed? xx
