This evening was SO enjoyable. I'd been out earlier in the week with Andrew for a Starbuck's trip and a catch up since I'm home for the holidays, but we arranged to meet again with Alex and go for dinner, a shop, and a general catch up all together. We went to the Metro Centre for a Nandos and had a wander round some shops, I got a few gifts for people and it was really great to be with them - they're just so fun and I enjoy their company a lot. Even if they do mock Oxford! It then turned into a mad dash around IKEA (they are there often enough to know all the shortcuts) and I managed to buy a desk and a chair, all in twenty minutes before closing time, for my study. It's also very handy having friends that can drive and have cars big enough to fit a desk and a chair in to take back home!
