Wednesday 16th May - date night disaster!

So today was my turn to take gaz out for our weekly 'date night'. I thought it would be nice to drive him to Newcastle to have a meal and then visit his favourite chocolate shop for desert, Max Brenner. Unfortunately the sat nav took us the most ridiculous way...we got stuck in 45 mins of traffic on top of the hour long drive to where we were heading. We had to keep pulling over to check where we were...gaz wanting to find where we were on the sat nav, myself getting annoyed that i had the route on my iPhone gps so lets follow that but gaz demanding i wait whilst he set the sat nav...it was only a lil tiff, we were fine afterwards lol...i drove us to the shopping centre where it bought max brenners was only the car park was empty and all the shops closed. According to the iPhone, max brenners was 6 minutes away. Back in the car and gaz drove, hot headed to the 'max brannier' location on the iPhone. It was nothing but Newcastles version of the RSL. Accordingt o the iPhone we were stood right on top of max Brenner! We then checked the max brannier website....nope....max brannier WAS back at the shopping centre we were at originally only we were in the 'north' car park and it appears most people park in the 'south' car park. WHAT EFFORT! A very stressed vicky and gaz finally found max brenners. We had food in a burger joint and then forced a chocolate soufflé down our necks just because despite being full up on burger and chips, we had driven 2 hours to be here and we WERE going to make the most of it! Gaz and i laughed about the whole experience not he way back in the car...at least our first date night will be one to remember! Gaz's turn for date night next week...he says we will keep it local!

It wasn't helped by the fact i had been up since 5am for a horse riding lesson at 6am. Angie is improving every lesson and Ellen even said she's building muscle int he right places. My riding has also vastly improved and more importantly, I'm beginning to understand WHY we do certain things when we ride and when they should be done.

Work was pretty quiet. A few nutters but nothing out of the ordinary. Oh and the guy, luke, who i saw on monday (our surfing instructor) came in to have a tooth out...as i wasn't charging him, he gave gaz and i some wet suits!!!

Gaz did well on the computer although he is still undecided about making his own poker videos...so watch this space!
