Only got two bits of not very specific advice for you...
1...Taking your girlfriend, eh?...looking forward to that candle-lit dinner, that romantic moonlight stroll and a hot summer night, eh? Well good luck to ya, but think about all that stuff ONLY when you're in the taxi motoring away from Exeter airport. In short, don't let 'get-there-itis' entice you to press-on, or do anything else you wouldn't normally do.
I'm sure you wouldn't, but, well, you know!
and:
2...The fuel pump at Exeter is reached via an 'in' gate, a semicircular-shaped mini taxiway that takes you past the pump itself, and then back out onto the taxiway proper via an 'out' gate. When you're waiting patiently on the taxiway for the pump to be vacated just consider that that helicopter sitting on the grass, rotors running, just might be in the queue ahead of you. He will be standing off at a distance because he doesn't want to damage anything with his downdraught by hover-taxying up close behind the aircraft on the pump.
Only mention this because a year ago I was that helicopter, and it took repeated calls from the tower to get two planks, er sorry!, much admired fixed-wing colleagues, to back off.
Sounds like you'll have fun. Relax and enjoy.
