New Years Eve Update

Well it all got a bit hairy a few hours before people were arriving. We had people dropping like flies and calling off. Steve's was in a foul mood and mopping around that no one was coming (which was true as there was'nt!!!).

Anyway we glammed up the house (a lot more tasteful than 05/06's Hula Hawaiian Hogmany!) and waited for the chosen few.... By now steve had down a few too many vodka and tonics to cheer himself up!

By about 10pm we had a 8 people, not impressed. We then lost 2 as one was'nt feeling very well. Now down to six at 10.30pm. It was all doom and gloom until a knock at the door and there was a vision!!!!!!

It was christine and her friends and family plus little richard and few of his guests. It had been transformed from a wake and party in 1 minute!!!! yeah! From 6 people to 20!!

It was great to see christine and her family as they'd had a death in the familiy 2 days before christmas so we were'nt expecting them.

We partied till the early hours with my cheesy music, fireworks, champagne and bacon sandwiches.

So i'm afraid in all the excitement i did'nt take any photos of the party only the set up and the pictures of a not amused steve.

We had a good time in the end but many of our other friends were'nt there and were missed as they were holidaying in ireland, dubai and new zealand... like you do.

Christmas Update...

Sorry bit of a belated happy new year!

Anyway an update of whats been happening over the past few weeks....

Christmas was good, I was around at my brothers house for christmas day with his wife jess and they gave us the great news that she was 12weeks preggers and the little one with have uncle rich and uncle steve!!

Christmas was mainly rattling between Bradford (work), York (keeping mum happy) and Scarborough (Steve and his family). My pet hate is slow drivers on the A64 between York and Scarborough.......grrrrrrrrr.

We went to the casino a few time in sunny scarb and did rather well on the roulette - i ended up being £120 quid up one night. I'm not exactly the last of the big spenders as i was putting little 50p bets here and there and spreading the out accross the table.
