A Glasgow Girl

On our last day we decided we would catch a matinee before heading back on the dreaded overnight megabus. We again bought our tickets from the Half-Price ticket booth and managed to get tickets for Wicked for £19.50 with a £2 booking fee. Yay!

We made our way to our hotel which is very basic but will do and was very very cheap, had a very welcome shower and got changed for a nice meal. We ate at TGI Fridays...now I know there is one in Glasgow and we were planning on being adventurous but by this time I was exhausted and wanted a nice familiar meal. I ordered my usual...
