Oh Yeah, We Went To Manchester...

So it was a while ago now, two Saturdays ago, in fact, but a few of us went on Returner's Ragraid (hello, fresher flashback) and spent the day in Manchester. We wandered around the shopping centre, tried on shoes and then ate McDonalds in the food court. It was absolutely freezing but we had an amazing day, full of giggles and gossip and, it has to be said, Manchester is a rather nice city.

Un-fairy Tale Style.

In our house, we like Sex and the City. We watch a lot of it, and like to pause it to discuss whatever might be going on in the episode. One topic we have covered in a lot of detail is that of Carrie and Big, and whether or not they should be together. The opinion most common seems to be that he is horrible, she should not have ruined what she had with Aiden and that they should not be together. And really, if Carrie was a real person, we would think she was crazy! Waiting 10 years for the man that may or may not be the one? Why would you do that? I once heard that everyone has someone in their life that they go back to, but why would you go back to him? It is clear that she loves him, of course, and she is almost slightly insane when it comes to relationships but does that make it better? Are these questions ever going to lead to an answer? Probably not, but the point is, this relationship to me is more believable than a fairy tale. Love can hurt, and at times it will, and, more than that, it is not easy. You have to work at it, and sometimes wait for the best of it. It took ten years but even Carrie, crazy and indecisive, got her happy ending in the end. Un-fairy tale style.
