I have a hen do to go to tonight. I do not enjoy going out in a group of people for the purpose of getting drunk. I would much prefer a meal and a bottle of wine somewhere lovely. I have no idea how much money to take (I don't go out a lot) and no idea how expensive the taxi home will be - this makes me nervous!!!!
So as the hours tick by I find myself getting a little jumpy - though not as grumpy as the 2 brides are getting (oh the ribbing going on on facebook - at this rate I will be surprised if either of them turn up - at least we know where they live so we can go and drag them out :-))
I have prepared for tomorrow by buying the hugest loaf of bread I could find so I can emergency toast to my hearts content. I just need to pop to the shop for emergency Mars Bars. I am drinking water to re-hydrate before I go out :-) I plan to drink some soft drinks tonight but whether I stick to it or not.............
Then I should just have enough time for a little snooze (not 1 full nights sleep so far this week), a long bubble bath, make D's tea, grab the handmade gifts for the brides and off we'll go.
PS What do you need if you've had a glass or 2 too much the night before?????
PPS Popped to Debenhams this week just for a look see and managed to find a dress for the wedding. Want to see it? my new dress
I don't often find things I like/fit me when I need something new. Then I saw this and it fit :-). I also got a lovely pink/red shrug to go with it. So excited that I found something lovely without really looking. Now that is a successful shopping trip. Also managed to find D a new shirt and tie for the wedding which he really liked. I suspect we'll just need to buy him shoes and I am thinking of getting him some new converse - he can find dress shoes to be really heavy and if he's having a bad day it can make things even harder for him. If wearing a new pair of converse make it easier then I am happy for him - even if the older generation think it's a little odd with his suit!!!!!
Having spent last night with a small group of guides on a rampage around Liverpool (the Duck trail; see here http://www.aquaducked.co.uk/events/liverpool/the-duck-trail/) and had to keep drawing their attention away from several hen parties who were so not well-behaved, I have to say I cannot see the attraction of humiliating and making a holy show of someone. I get the party, just not the crude and suggestive attitudes taken.
ReplyDeleteGood luck, though, and have fun. I have no advice on pre- or post-hang over cures, except abstinence (sorry)
Thankfully the 2 hens were more restrained so the worst that we did was sashes and flashing rabbit ear headbands. I am thankful that mine (18 years ago now) was a meal in an Italian with a few in a pub afterwards and then back to mine for a few more. i have discovered how not to have a hang over - feel out of depth so only have about 4 drinks -it works :-)
DeleteBut I love your dress for the wedding!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I wasn't sure if it was dressy enough but I liked it so thought why not - I only started wearing dresses about 5 years ago so all quite new to me!
DeleteI hope that you have had a great evening out with your friends - because you will be out there enjoying as I am writing this! - and that your head is alright! xx
ReplyDeleteGot home at 3am and up at 9am to make Hubby a fry up. So much better for not drinking too much and being bright (!) and breezy this morning. I suspect I will be snoozing on the sofa later.
