I came back from Yorkshire yesterday and within 2 hours i'd got the train into Manchester to meet up with friends. Was really good seeing everyone, had a day out and then ended up making a night of it in town later on.
It was really good catching up with people, because i'd had no contact with any of them for at least a week and i'd missed quite a lot. It was nice to know people had missed me aswell, gave me a massive boost. The night out was good, and then i stayed at a friends and had work today which was surprisingly the best shift i've done since i joined even though i was feeling the effects.
For the first 3 hours i was on fire but then towards the end there was this spell of about 20 mins when i was on till where basically everything that could have gone wrong did, with not accepting credit cards, unhelpful customers and the till playing up, was an absolute nightmare.
My theorys on Tuesday so tonight and tomorrow are saved for looking through the highway code and cramming it all in. Anyone thats recently done theirs,how much work do you need to/should do for it? Any information would be really helpful.
I also bought the Foals album, Antidotes. Its been advertised everywhere recently, which actually prompted me to buy it whereas normally i might have just downloaded it (normally i'm not so impressionable). Its at my friends house though so i haven't been able to listen to it yet but i love their early singles so am quite looking forward to it.

I would also highly reccomend the We Are Scientists album, Brain. Thrust. Mastery and The Kooks's, Konk. Downloaded both while i was away and they're both really good. And The Whip's aswell is worth a listen.

It was a while ago that i did my theory, when the old system for it was still in place. I failed it the first time round due to not revising for it, but after a couple of nights of treating the highway code as my bible i breezed it second time round. So its definitely worth doing some studying for it.
Good luck.
