Waiting for Xmas!

Not much happening at the moment as you can tell! Went out last week with the girls for dinner. Caz got a bit tipsy and we reckoned that the waiter fancied Claire as we got free lemon liquors!
At the weekend, there was not much happening so played a few rounds of 'Risk' which was fun. After being killed off in the first round, I managed to take over North and South America as well as Europe in the second round! Not bad eh!
We also had a mooch round Kingston to get pressie inspiration but not much came! Xmas lists will be appreciated! We shall do our's too!

It's fixed!

Hoorah! I got my car back the same day in record time! Apparently the problem was the temperature sensor. So why didnt they find that the first time!
Have a good weekend chaps!

Car trouble again!

The bloomin' garage still havent fixed my car, as it started playing up again! So I took it in again today and my replacement car is a Passat! Very big, silver, shiny and new, with climate control and very comfortable seats! I could get used to that! They have said that they should be able to fix it today but I dont know what they are basing that on seeing as they had it for 2 weeks last time and it still wasnt fixed!!!

Deja Vu

Has anyone else noticed that Claire and Carolines blogs are shocking simillar? Come on girls, at least make a little effort.

Girlie make-up time!

Saturday involved having a girly get together with Caz, the Claires and Laura to have our 'colours' done and a make-up session! One of the 'age-defying' moisturisers must have worked as my skin fells silky smooth today! We all turned out to be 'Summers' apart from Claire H who was an 'Autumn'. Which means we suit - Baby blue/ Burgundy/ Ivory and silver among other colours, where as Claire suits greens/ orange/ cream and gold! So we can all go shopping now for our new wardrobes! I've always wanted a silver lamé evening gown!!! (Not!)
In the evening we went to the Woking fireworks which were very good as usual. Half an hour of fireworks for £5 is good value in anyones book! Not sure about the Harry Potter theme though. Yes, I too was not sure how fireworks could be done to a film like that, but it is possible. The firework that looked like a broomstick going back and forward was clever!

Recovering!

It is now 7pm in the evening and I am just about feeling human again! I am never drinking again! The party was a complete surprise, I had no idea! Thanks to everyone who helped, and to all those who came a long way to be there. It was great to see everyone. I am just regretting the after-effects of the alcohol! It must be my age that I can't handle my drink anymore!
For those who dont know, I was told that we were going to a surprise party for Duncan's uncle which I totally fell for! Apparently it had been planned ages ago. I thought I was just going to the pub afterwards to meet a few friends for a drink. I had called a few people to see if they could make it but everyone who lived far away made there excuses.  I had been a bit down about that, but everyone lied brilliantly! Thanks to everyone for the presents, although I dont think I'll be able to drink the Champagne for quite a while! Although I hope to be well enough to start on the chocolates by tomorrow! Thanks again for an amazing night!

shhhh, SURPRISE !!

Kates surprise party to celebrate her 30th birthday was a great success last night. Birthday girl had a great time, and didnt have a clue until she opened the hall door to find all her family and friends waiting. Thank you to everyone who had a part to play whether it was helping organise things or just turning up. The only problem is Kate has now decided she can't trust me anymore, (and by extension all her friends and family), as Im obviously too good at deceiving her. Women. You try to do some nice and they still find something you did wrong!!

30's are the new 20's!

Its not so bad being 30! Just sounds old! Doesn't feel it! We stuffed ourselves last night at dinner and I will be stuffing myself for most of the weekend too! Better put some extra time in on the cross-trainer next week!

Happy Birthday Katy!!

Happy 30th birthday Katy!!

Morning!

I cant believe I'm 30 in 2 days! I dont like that countdown! I think that about the last 6yrs have gone really quickly. Probably because of work!
Yesterday the fuse went on the downstairs lights. And when we got the fuse out it turned out to be bare fuse wire! How antiquated!
