Bonny wee Scotland!!!!!

I'm off to Bonny wee Scotland on Friday. I know that it was looking as though I wasn't going but things have changed since then and I'm going again. I can't wait to go but at the same time I am very nervous and scared. Not too scared but I will admit that I am a little scared but that's ok. So I am off up there at 8:52am - well that's the time that I leave Blackburn train station for Preston train station. I then change over trains and have ten minutes to do so. I am a little concerned about the change over but I'm sure that I will be fine. I am going on a Virgin train and have reserved seats with forward facing seats. That's important that I am facing forward as I just can't travel backwards, so I made sure when they asked if I wanted forward and backward facing seats that I asked for forward. The journey is quite long and I hope I get through the journey ok as I suffer from bad travel sickness. The longest I have been on a train is 90 minutes and that was when I came back from Bath and that 90 minutes was enough. But this journey is 2 hours and 40 minutes which is over an hour longer than my longest journey. I just hope I don't need to go to the loo whilst I am on the train because the last time I did that it made me very ill and thank god I only had to stay on the train for another 5 minutes as I would of been sick otherwise. I know I will probably need to go a least once as in the mornings I do tend to need to go a lot because of the amount of liquid I need to drink :O( anyway that is enough about that subject. It's been a right pain getting the accommodation as well. I finally managed to find the places to stay but I took so long ringing back that the most impoprtant one went. I was staying in one for the Friday and Sunday and another one for the Saturday but because we rang back a couple of hours later to confirm the room for Friday and Sunday went. So we rang some more hoping to find a hotel for each night and we ended up back on to the women that was taking me for the Saturday, Mrs Bent. She said that she could take me for the Saturday and Sunday night and that she will find someone to take me on the Friday night but we have to ring back this morning to book it. Well my dad to ring back and I just hope that he has rung back, I will ring him to find out if he has. I have just ring him and he has rung her but she hasn't found a room and he has to ring her back tonight. I just hope to god that there is a room somewhere as I need a room and I can't afford the fancy hotels. I don't have much money as it is and if I have to pay for a hotel then I won'tbe able to do much once I get up there :O( even now my money situation is going to prevent me from doing too much :O( and on the Sunday James (the person who I am going to see) is going to work so I will be on my own till about 4pm or 5pm so I have to entertain myself for a few hours. So I won't leave my hotel till at least lunch time and that will be to go and get some lunch and maybe have a walk around on my own and see what Hamilton has to offer. So last night I bought my return ticket home and if I would of bought it during the day it would of cost me £13 but because I could only get on last night late on it ended up costing me £17 plus another £1 for insurance. So Again I am sorter on money by £4 because of the broadband being off and the train nots leaving as late as I want it to do and I will only be brought back to Preston because if I wanted to be brought back to Blackburn the ticket was going to cost me £37 which is another £20 for another 20 minute ride. If I would of gotten it back to Blackburn a few days ago(i.e. if I bought it a few days ago) it would of only cost me £13 in total for the whole journey. I now need my dad to pick me up from Preston and I got the latest train back so it was possible for him to come to Preston for me but he won't be happy that he's coming to Preston for me but he'll miss me when I'm away so he'll want to come and pick me up ;O) I just wish I had enough money to go out all the time but I don't. I have a certain amount each day and I also have to buy my meals as well :O( GOD!!!!!!! I am very nervous about meeting my friend because I have NEVER met him before and we are good friends and I'm just nervous and hope that I am the person he thinks and hopes I will be and I hope he is the James that I have gotten to know over the phone in the last year. I'm up early on Friday as well as I take ages to get ready and I need to make sure that everything is ready so that I can leave the house at 8:30 to go to the station for my 8:52am train. So the night before I want to be in bed for 8pm, I know I won't be but if I say that I want to be there for 8pm that I will probably be there for 10-11pm. I have been telling people not to ring me after 7pm as I don't need distractions and I will be rushing round like an idiot to get ready!!!
