I've never been particularly keen on Manchester. And I've always felt rather on edge when out on Canal St as its the only place I've ever had any hassle. But all those memories are a thing of the past, as I had one of the best nights out I've had in ages. (Yes, I know I always say that!)

There was quite a varied group out which helped make the night more interesting, from my best Ibiza buddies to couples who I've never met before. So it was a great night for making a few new friends. I also seemed to end up chatting to someone in nearly every bar we went into. Well, actually not so much in the bar as in the ladies toilet to be precise. And I must confess that more than once, search parties were sent out to track me down!

There was also a first for me when I was approached by someone who recognised me from this very site. Well, who'd have believed that anyone actually reads this besides me! Thankfully he was really sweet and a perfect gent, and hopefully not too disappointed at seeing the real me, up close and personal!

Even Napoleons night club was fun, and I met some lovely girls in there too. So I'll admit it, I've changed my mind about Manchester and I promise it won't be too long before I’m back there again.

So thanks Julie for arranging a top night, and the best of luck with your new adventure. x
