I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want

I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want!

I am BACK from the Spice Girls !!!!!!!!!

We had a very eventful trip, lol. Firstly, SNOW. SNOW SNOW SNOW.

When I picked up Jodie she loaded the car up with survival gear which cracked me up - sleeping bags, wind up radios, candles, jumper leads, you name it.

As we got within an hour of the border there was SNOW everywhere and the freeway became HAZARDOUS

We had to drive at 40 freaking miles per hour (good job we left with 7 hours to spare LOL)........ got to the border and the snow was getting really bad

Cars were being pulled and pushed out of the way as they couldn't even make it up to the checkpoint. I managed by determination and will power and zig zagging and sliding to get us there (that and thanks to 4 yrs of pratice in Ontario!) and we got allowed into Canada (yay ,lol) thanks to the hot border guy who thought it was funny that we were going to see the Spice Girls.

The road the other side of the border was TREACHEROUS. The other direction got closed off completely. They told us they were expecting 50cm of snow and we should turn back. LIKE HELL.

Finally got there..... parked up and had to use breast pump in carpark. ATTRACTIVE. Then a mysterious "your car is going to explode" warning light came on the dash of my car. Great. Decided to ignore it and it might go away.

Got into the stadium...... v exciting...... loads of 30 somethings dressed up as spice girls.

SG's came on. FABULOUS.

We had a great time, laughing loads, dancing, singing, generally being SAD 30 SOMETHINGS AT A SPICE GIRLS GIG. They sang all the good songs, looked amazing, great costumes too (and 3000 costume changes during the show). Posh even sang at a couple of points. Geri looked phenomenally fit. Scary was really bouncing all over. Sporty got into it. Baby looked cute.

Hideous pic of me and Jodie

Left at the end and made our way back to border in treacherous now torrential rain flooding the road and making us aquaplane our way down the freeway.

Got to the Canadian border.... v nervous as we're both in the middle of applying for Green Cards for the US and neither of us were sure if we were actually allowed to leave the country, if we had the right paperwork, etc. Husbands had instructed us to hand over loads of documents from lawyers. When we got to the checkpoint the only living pleasant US border guard in existence was on duty and waived us through without querying our status. I quickly drove into the country cos at 1am I wasn't about to argue that maybe he shouldn't let us in!!. We phoned home to say we were here and both got huge bollockings for not showing papers and apparently have now potentially ruined green card application. OOPS.

Took another 3 hrs to get home in major flooding.

FABULOUS.
