I shall go to the ball...

Well what a weekend that was. Lots of things to make me smile, laugh and seriously nearly wet myself. Also a few things that maybe shouldn't have happened but I will get to them later! First of all, just so you can all stop worrying about me, the cold has gone! I beat it YEAY!

OK so Friday night for me saw me go home to a house full of workmen, supposedly fixing the leak in the bath. I went upstairs to the bathroom to see that they had re-clad the whole bathroom in white panels. Beautiful, really nice and clean surfaces and all looking nice and new. The conversation went something like this:

Workman: "There you go luv, should be no more leaks through that little lot."

Me: "Oh it looks lovely but its still going to leak!"

Workman: "WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!"

Me: "Well its the waste pipe on the bath that is leaking, not the seals round the edge!"

Workman: "Bloody hell, we've been here for nearly 2 flamin' days puttin' this little lot up, you mean to say we have to come back on Monday and take it out to get under the bath?"

LOL you should have seen the look on their faces! Not happy workmen! Still, I have been telling them for weeks that it was the waste pipe that was leaking, stoopid boys don't believe me though!

Ok onto Saturday! Saturday for me was getting up early to go into town with my sis, who I hadnt seen for nearly 2 weeks! We needed to find me a wrap to go with my dress for the Ball. We did pretty well really. Although we did have a whinge about the way shops organise their products. Its just about to kick into winter and they have all their summer ranges in! Do they not realise that the seasons are changing? Grrr

Anyway after that I had an appointment at the hairdressers to get some lowlights and root highlights. I'm really pleased with the colour actually. Its the closest I have been to my natural for a very long time! After that i went for a large hot chocolate and a banana muffin from starbucks while I waited for my friend Paul to come meet me. I sat in the window just watching the world pass by, was quite relaxing actually. After that we go to mine and Jakers comes round and I make us some dinner before we set off for Warwickshire and the Ball.


The ball was great! We arrive to a champagne reception and we have to get our pictures taken by a photographer. We then are taken to the bar where we have our first drinks before being seated for our meals. The food was a bit fancy for my liking, but the bits I had were very nice. We then had a bit of "caberet" if you can call it that! And then a bit of a dance with lots more drinking!

Now I know your all thinking 'get to the bit that shouldnt have happened!' well here it is! We all get onto the bus to take us back to the hotel and one of the managers ends up hitting my manager in the nose! Fabulous! The hotel is about 3 minutes away and it all kicks off at the front of the bus! Blood everywhere! Never mind, it has given us all something to talk about in the office today!

Anyway the next day we get up and get breakfast and check out of our room, all the time phoning Paul (he was staying in a different hotel) to say when we would pick him up. No answer from his mobile, so we arrive at the hotel and reception tried phoning a couple of times. We then go up and knock on his door for about 3 minutes before we heard a grunt! Poor love was still soooooo drunk. We had to help him stagger to the car where he kept me and jakers amused all the way home! He was hilarious!

Right well I have rambled on enough I think! Time to go home!

Byeeeee
