LUFFBOROUGH Sat 14th April

Trish was teaching & selling her clothes at a fitness convention at Loughborough Uni. I left @ 6.30am to get a train (1.5 hour trip) to help her sell her clothes www.bordoni.co.uk. Trish did REALLY well and sold HEAPS of stuff!! :o) the uni’s huge and really nice but the town…

I was scared to buy anything that wasn’t preserved by 100% sugar

As for the town… Most ghetto place ever! – it’s a uni town but slummy and there was garbage on the side of the road & weird people. On the way back I had an hour to wait for the train and there was nothing to do so I went and got lollies and sat at the station. The convenience store I went to, had dust on the packets so I was scared to buy anything that wasn’t preserved by 100% sugar lol.

When I finally got on the train to come home, I headed towards my carriage. I got pushed and shoved by drunk people and had my head wedged between the wall and a kids helium balloon, as I tried to pass idiots blocking my way with a pram. My carriage was filled with about 40 drunk bogan males, chanting at the top of their voices, on their way back form a football game in Manchester.

As I opened the door, I got cheered as I was the only female in the carriage. I went along with it bc its easier, until I got ‘nice arse luv, show us ur t**s’. I very quickly looked around for someone normal to seat near – as my seat was taken. I saw a young guy who looked like he was about to tell them to ‘shut the f up’ and sat next to him. He was getting off the next stop so I pretended I was too and moved carriages.
