The end of exams are a funny time. All of a sudden, you’ve got so much time on your hands. You could put it to good use by doing some housework, cleaning your room or even just baking a cake for example. Some kids go to Sixfields and play football in a car park. That’s… kind of productive… right?
There’s been a serious lack of entertainment since exams finished (for me, anyway) this time last week. Okay, we had Chicago’s on the Thursday but apart from that, it’s been quiet. Simon decided to take it upon himself to organise something to do with lots of people we hadn’t seen for a while. As per usual, we meet up at Sixfields with John, Will, Gazz, Jake and Dunkers.
With the usual amount of accuracy with us planning things, all we had to do was play football then "Play pool/eat junk food XD" from 8 until… whenever. That’s the usual run of things. So we did, in the back car park of Tenpin because we’re that cool. Playing doubles and having a bit of a kick-about. Just like old times.
Then Will started to get antsy about being hungry. We said he could eat as soon as he scored, but however hard he tried he just couldn’t. Dunkers had to in the end to stop him crying, I think… but yeah. All that to go grab a McDonalds.
I scrounged enough money together to get an Oreo McFlurry (which, I must say, is nothing like the advert…) and saw this girl walk off with a caramel sundae. A caramel sundae! Those things were truly epic just for the giant pool of caramel that sat at the bottom. I was heartbroken when they stopped doing them a while back. But when did they start again? Why wasn’t I told? ARGH.
But anyway. Enough about the sundae. Afterwards we went into Tenpin to do one of our usual activities – playing pool. Now before that, we stopped off to look at the grabber machine to see if the snake I mentioned before was free now and it was, right beside this round pink thing wearing a cap. I was pound-less and heartbroken. But thankfully, Jake to the rescue, grabbed me the snake for my car. He’s now sitting pretty on the back shelf of my car. Aww.
We played pool and I left them playing pool while I put the snake in my car. On the way there, I found £5 on the floor. Bingo! So, as curiosity killed the cat, I decided to play and see what on earth this pink thing was. Turns out it’s a spherical bird thing wearing what can only be described as a old schoolboys hat. I gave it to Jake as a sort of thank you for getting the snake.
At the end of this night, the bird thing got ran over, throw into a bush and put in Jake’s car wheel before finding its way into Jake’s cup holder. Again, Will went off because he’s way too manly for this and conveniently waits by Dunkers’ car.
Problem being Dunkers couldn’t go anywhere. His car wouldn’t start. After about 20 minutes of faffing around and the third attempt of jumpstarting it, the car came alive much to the relief of Will and Simon (and Dunkers, obviously 
). I dropped John off and that was that, the end of the night.
Okay, so it wasn’t the most entertaining of outings, but Jake made me promise to blog about it, so I did. It’s worth it for the snake, really, isn’t it?
