They said there'd be snow at Christmas
They said there'd be peace on earth!!!
Well there's peace in my little household and my immediate social (if you can call it that) life, so I'm doing my bit.
Rundown of weekends events...........again!
Thursday evening was like a scene from some cheesy American Christmas movie with me and AP putting up and decorating the tree...well! the only difference was we were watching Saw on DVD......hardly festive??!!
Proper winter food for tea, went to bed all smiley and giddy as a kipper about the pending festivities!!!
Friday 8th
I wanted to blob work but Andy wouldn't let me as i need to do the same after Carl and Nic's wedding, up at 8am, t.v on, mugs of tea and early morning chatting! wtf??? i suppose at that time, blokey has already had a 2 hour lie-in, but it's the middle of the night for grumpy old me......still!
Work was fine, it was a long bluddy week though........treat myself to a prêt super club at lunch. 5pm before i knew it, Andy was at mine t.time, had a bit of festive naughtiness, then threw him out for his night on the tiles with the boys while i prepared for girlies coming round for food (they could bring thier own dirty beer).
So started making 2 fruit flans, food in oven to warm through.....part baked baguettes to cook, other quick preparations and all ready for 7.30pm.
Spug and Katy arrived on the dot, Rach and Ruth soon after (who'd nipped for a happy meal to tide them over), Tina and Beth bringing up the rear.
Anyhew it was a lovely night, so nice to see them all (without the absence of Sarah) it was Amsterdam revisited. It was quite bizarre not drinking, but i did myself proud by staying up very late and not being a party pooper.
Highly amusing moment, when i said about the fruit flan in a rather too excited voice (people staring like they gave a fook about puddings when they could get wellied).
Everyone was fed and watered, all wearing party hats from the hoisted crackers... all the old photo albums were out and mucho reminiscing took place.
Someone tried to explain some rules of a drinking game, they fell on deaf ears.........nothing to do with me mate! and the game was promptly packed away.
The 4 faggers were in and out baring the cold to get thier nicotine fix (how times have changed). tee hee!
Not sure who was drunk, KF's eyes were bloodshot and she was talking about bum sex, so i'm guessing she was...Rach was slurring her words, but everyone else seemed fine, they must have lined thier stomachs with my exquisite cooking!!
But the funniest thing was peoples boyfriends phoning/txting them constantly as to thier whereabouts and an ETA home...........wtf? one night out without the ladies and they fall to pieces.
Katy, Tina and Beth left at 1.15am (Katy having polished off 13 bottles of beer), Rach, Ruth and Spug at 2am......after i suggested they finish their litre of vodka off at someone elses house. I washed up, tided round.......everything back spick and span, up the apples and pears, read one "real life story" in Pick Me Up and was asleep at 3am............i repeat.....3AM!!!!!!!
Saturday 9th
Lovely day, didn't rouse until 12 midday (excluding my 2 wee breaks) put the washer on...queued with the bockers in Cheapside for some festive wrapping paper, then got to the pool.......to my excitement no cars in carpark.........once in, there was 3 young lads mucking around on the slide and just me swimming! Reight do!!!! swam for 45 mins, still only 12 or so people in pool when i left..........note to self, good time to swim! or maybe it was the crappy rainy weather keeping the punters away?
Homeward bound, nice afternoon.....ate some left over party food, bathed, p.j's, ironed while watching Wizard of Oz dvd... How old? More washing and a grumpy sore loser AP phoned for a lift at 6pm...rubbish game of rugby, me suspects he might have been a tad hungover too after a night out with Woz, Deano, Blacky and Waitey the previous evening!
Forfeighted my plans of a visit to Mum's and an hours kip on the sofa...G&D's to drop his kit and a quick change, then spent the evening......watching the Boxing??!! after Shaun of the Dead on DVD, while i wrapped and wrapped and wrapped the never ending pile of presents, which were once in the nursery and are now thankfully looking pretty under the tree!
Soup and baguettes for tea, followed by the never ending fruit flan and ice-cream..........started writing cards at 11pm, once all wrapping finished and Andy had gone upstairs to watch some more sports.
Bedfordshire at 1am.
Sunday 10th
Awake and UP at 10am, had a small bacon butty (to put us on), Andy took car to G&D's to change while i had a bath, crappy weather again... maungy cats hanging round door crying to come in, eat sliced turkey and lie on our bed all day.
Andy came back, went to fridge for his bockled water and knocked a can of cider off the top (left from BBQ in July) i was drying my hair..........all i heard was "what the fook, you're having a laugh, i don't fooking believe it" Came down he'd put a teatowel over the exploding can and was drying his socks on top of the fire, told him he smelt like Woz...........tee hee!
Put girls presents in car and off we set to Buxton, over the tops.
Made good timing, arrived at 1.30pm, to a house of chaos........1/2 trimmed, 2 excited little girls jigging about with a 5' musical dancing santa!
Chris slaving over the stove and Rhian half tearing her hair out. Peace was restored while we all ate our Sunday roast, after pud we sat plonked, chatting for 4hrs...i kid you not.
Needed to hit the road, the girls went for their baths, Andy and Chris went upstairs for the rocker/slider nursery chair, Rhian asked what else we'd bought.........erm! not a lot, mentioned the stuff we were waiting to purchase in the sales, then as if by magic, she just happened to have a Mama's and Papa's pine rocking cradle........yippee!
Left the boys putting car seats down, to fit all our free baby gear in.
Singing to Kirsty McCall and the Sstones Roses homeward bound, made good timing and back in Clecksville early evening, unloaded car, Andy erected all nursery stuff, while i fed cats and hovered around like a girl who wouldn't know how to use a rachet set.
Home for him and bath number 2 for me, had a relaxing evening, Housewife 49, bagel and mini cheddars and the blasted fruit flan.
Sky plussed Lost and was too tired to stay awake to watch it, bed at 11pm, read a while and had a good solid nights sleep until 8.20am today when the alarm went off and it was still dark! eh? what's all that about?
Mad busy week this week, will blog details later as the only time i have plenty time on my hands happens to be at my desk.
