Day 95 - Xtremely close.....

So the alarm went off at 730, and I think I was still pickled by Prosecco!  Also I had the re-occurring after taste of the late night crisps we devoured.....yuck!!

Darren, Richard, Solange and I got on the 9:09 train to Wembley!  For our Xciting X-factor Xperience....

An hour to Charing Cross then the longest tube journey....isn't Wembley an arse to get to!?

But by 11 we were in the queue!  Even though we had a ticket they over allocate so we weren't guaranteed to get in.....but we were confident as we weren't that far back and there were hundreds of people behind us!

Sun shining, nibbling on M&S delicious picnic bits (thx Sol!) and watching contestants being interviewed was thirsty work....so Solange subtly popped her cork in the queue and Prosecco flowed.....again!!

We edged closer and spotted Dermot doing his interviews!  But after a couple of hours in the queue we started getting nervous as we saw hundreds of people behind us being cut from the queue....a guy in a black t-shirt was like the grim reaper and kept edging closer to us....finally we given four nos and our X-factor dream was over :-(

To send out that many tickets was bad as loads of people got turned away....but what do you do when disappointment strikes?  Find a weatherspoons of course.....
