Just letting you know that I have arrived in the UK safe and sound and am now sitting here with a thick dressing gown on, socks, slippers and still feel abit cold!
The bus trip to Sharm was fine, apart from they played the DVD very loud so I couldn't sleep. Ahmed's friend met me and took me to their apartment so I could have a rest, I nearly overslept! The taxi took me to the airport with no problems.
I have never felt so out of place in my life as I did in that airport surrounded by the british holiday makers! No offense to anyone but has the UK turned into Fat Chav Island??? I really don't know what I was worrying about regarding my size, I forgot the British are getting bigger! Everywhere I looked there was either a large person, a skin head, tacky tattoos, baseball caps , or posh spice wanna bes.
I was sat in the first row on the plane, even saw the pilot when he popped out to talk to cabin crew. Loads of leg room and yes my bottom did fit! was snug but comfortable. Flight was fine, even slept alittle bit!
Me mother met me ok, drove me home, had a long chat with me about money etc which total depressed me! Sleeping in a cold room with a thick feather duvet was bliss! my ears are ringing from the silence here! I'm feeling quite lonely. Managed to talk to Ahmed this morning for 3mins, used one of the cheap numbers so thats good.
Missing him and Egypt loads, why didn't I pack him in my suitcase god damn it!
Nic... if you're feeling generous with your mobile credit one day can you send him a text, just to make sure hes ok. I can't find my mobile sim card and the internet is broke over there again.
Off to call the bank now to try and sort out my fraud! fun fun fun!
Thanks for the good wishes... will keep you updated. xxx

good luck FK and I bet the cabin crew were relieved you didn't drop on the plane! Might have given them something exciting for a change though delivering a baby.
I know what you mean about chavland though - I went back to the UK on a cheapie seat from Hurghada .... talk about beer bellies, tattoos and skinhead hair dos - and that was just the kids...
I felt like a right snob in my twinset, pearls and hunter wellies (just j/k!)

Hey FK I am so glad you didn't have to stand all the way back
I actually feel like a lady when I go to tourist places in Egypt With me it must be the tiara and champers in my hand.
Britain is getting bigger, some people think it is a mystery but then that just indicates that IQ levels are dropping as well
I must remember to pencil ACAB on my knuckles the next time I fly (showing my age)
I am so glad you are home safe, I thought we were going to have to name the baby after where it was born and Meditarranean would have been such a long first name.
I will text baldy and tell him if he ever wants a message passing over to let me know and I will act as your go between
Now can you hurry up and let bump out so you can come home.

Well you must be older than me then, Milady, coz I have no idea of the significance of ACAB - obviously I mixed with a higher class of riff raff than you.

In my youth, in my town in central England, it was 'greaser' or 'skinhead' Greasers being the long-hair / leather jacketed Black Sabbath fans.

Although, come to think of it . . . if you thought that I was trying to say that other word that refers to B**bs (i.e. T*ts = B**Bs ). . . then my comment would take on a completely different context, lol!!!

Aw thanks. And ps, being pregnant isn't quite the same as being overweight, lol. Sadly I can't blame a baby on my weight, just my weakness for damn good food

It hurts

I just thought it wasn't safe to call a girl a hippo. She might sit on you.

Ah, but she was the one that brought it up in the first place . . . but I agree . . . normally I wouldn't call anyone one a hippo . . . except the hippo itself . . but maybe they don't like ppl calling them hippos either????
