Last Tuesday Maria travelled to Sarahjanes in Birmingham, and then they both came to Manchester on the Wednesday where i met them at the coach station at 10.30am 
we all then got the metrolink to St Peters Sq 
and walked the short way to the Opera House we weren't going to see the show just wanted to meet Gareth again 
unfortunatley we didn't see him go in before the afternoon show as he went in the front way 
where they were doing press photos in the foyer 
we did go round to the front and had a sneeky look through the gap in the curtains that were pulled across the front doors 
He did come out front with Jennifer but only to have some pictures done oustside, he saw us and said he would come out later. So we left and went to have a hot drink in Starbucks and a cake to 
and then we went to find the pub i knew where we could get something to eat later, after we found it we decided to go look around the arndale for a bit till it was time to go back to the stage door. He eventually came out and we had a pic each with him, then he went to get something to eat, and we waited till he came back in. When he came back he had been shopping he had two rather large bags from All Saints LoL! we got another pic with him then he went in and we then went for something to eat at the pub. We all had some curly fries
and 4 pieces of bread and butter each
followed by a pudding, Maria had a piece of chocolate fudge cake with ice cream and me and Sarahjane decide on sticky toffee pudding it said it was 2 for £2.50 so we asked the waiter how big they were and showed us with hands how big they were andthey seemed to be rather big so we just ordered the 2 when they came they were rather small as you will see in the pic, so me and Sarahjane ordered another 2 LoL! Then me and Maria ordered 4 shot drinks each and Sarahjane only 2 as she had a slight headache 
Then it was time for us to make our way back to the stage door, when we got there, there we a few of them autograph hunters stood outside, and some me and Sarahjane recognised from the ones we saw in Birmingham, they were waiting for Gareth too eek.
while we were waiting this nice looking dude past us and we looked at each other and thought ooo he looks familier LoL! some young girls were having there picture taking with him, we then realised it was Daniel Whiston from Dancing on ice i managed to get his autograph for my youngest daughter then Jennifer came out and i got hers to for my daughter as i already had it, then she went off with Daniel for a drink i think we then waited for Gareth to come out but unfortunatly he didn't emerge and so we made our way back to the metrolink to get to Piccaddilly where i said my good byes as Sarahjane and Maria were to get the coach back to Birmingham and had to get my bus home which was a 40 min ride here our my pics
