Trains, pampering and arachnophobia

I arrived back in Bath today all excited to see the boyfriend and get back to the house of Ray 16, and after a long journey I looked forward to a day of fun.

My train journey home was wonderfully complicated. I got the train from Northampton to Birmingham International, from Birmingham International to Birmingham New Street, then from Birmingham New Street to Cheltenham Spa, then I had to get a rail replacement bus from Cheltenham Spa to Gloucester, where I got on a train to Bristol Temple Meads, and then got a train from there to Oldfield Park. What a cofuffle I tell you! But alas, I was only getting steadily more excited to be home throughout the whole journey and each individual part wasn't too long.

So I got home, got changed and headed into town to meet the boyfriend. After some big hugs and kisses we headed to Molloy's for our usual burger & chips combo. Then, because we're hilarious like that, we went into Ann Summers (I'm NOT telling what was bought...) and then took a stroll around La Senza. What can I say, we've missed each other and looking at lingerie was fun knowing we hadn't seen each other for a while. Then I bought him a t-shirt from Freespirit, and me some shorts, some heels (which I'll probably return) and a headband thing from New Look.

When I got home I decided to have some pampering time. I had a relaxing bath, washed my hair, moisturised my skin and I'm currently sat in my prettiest summer dress feeling mighty relaxed and with very soft skin. Yay new products! Just about to paint my toenails.

The only hiccup of today was walking into my room post-bath and seeing a MASSIVE spider crawl out of my under my bed. I literally screamed and ran to the door, but upon the realisation that I was the only one in the house, I decided I had to take matters into my own hands. So I grabbed Clarissa and from my bed I dropped it on the spider. Now I know some people dislike killing insects, but I COULD NOT have picked it up and I'm too afraid to leave it so it had to be done. I swiftly grabbed loads of toilet roll and grabbed it so I didn't have to bear looking at it. There is a positive side though, I can no longer say that Clarissa wasn't worth £25.
