Update
I've noticed that I haven't put anything up for a long....long....long time so I thought I'd break the habit and update with a couple of details.
Ok
Had house warming on Saturday and have found that flat can fit 18 people quite comfortably. Had much fun and laughter (and ok I admit a little alchohol) and it lasted pretty much all weekend what with friends coming down on Friday, staying until Sunday. So yes, was lots of fun.
The house didn't end up too much a tip, as all our friends are very tidy and we kept cleaning up after ourselves (Tom and I taking turns to clean the kitchen whenever it got untidy). All in all, I think everyone had a really good time.
We learnt three things this weekend:
1: it is possible to have 18 people in the house and not turn the flat into a bombsite, maintaining enjoyment high, hosts included.
2: our neighbours aren't evil people who will complain about noise at stupid times in the evening when we're being like mice (we left up a note explaining but I don't think any neighbours were fussed)
3: I've now learnt that if I drink alchohol (not that much as I can't stand being ill, or passing out)...no matter how good I feel the day after, or how much water I drink and bread I eat, I will have a hang over TWO days later. I didn't even drink that much! So I drink on Saturday and the hangover hits on Monday as opposed to Sunday.
I had to go into work and forcibly keep myself awake as I could feel my eyes drooping. And I refused to want to go home as I was so annoyed I'd got a hangover at such a stupid day. I didn't even want to go home. I just kept thinking 'I should have had this on Sunday...I'll defy it, I will!!'
I genuinely DONT know how some people can go out drinking everynight.
I used to work with a girl in my previous job who would go out with any excuse. She was constantly with a hangover and I honestly don't know how she did it. I would much rather sit around laughing with mates sober than getting ('scuse the phrase) rat arsed and suffering a horrible headache everyday. I think my slightly lethargic behaviour was noticed at work, but everyone knew we'd had a gathering and I didn't make any comment about feeling ill or wanting to go home, so nothing was mentioned.
I've made up for anything I may have missed out on Monday (nothing serious, just stuff I could do in my own time) though by working insanely from 9.30 and tidying my desk up.
So yes, two more housewarming's coming up though they wont' be as intense and a Lord of the Rings evening which will consist of many people congregating at a large house, watching every extended version of Lotr all weekend.
On top of that, Tom and I have started looking to book a little holiday abroad. Just a small weekend in Spain or France (or maybe Italy) just to have a holiday away. I may consider going for a week if Tom has the time and money, but so far things are turning out to be a bit more than I expected so we'll be talking about that tonight.
Apart from that nothing much has been happening.
A new set of drawers was purchased in Ikea a week ago to make the room a little more habitable. The weather is killing Tom as it reaches the high 20s and low 30s whilst I waltz around like a purring kitten enjoying every bit of heat possible.
I'm getting closer to starting my new blog, but I want to sit down and work on it properly, so when I have one free hour or so when I'm not tired I'll set it up properly.
So yes, oh and on top of that Tom got the job he applied for which is a step up in Inflights which means next weeks night shifts is his LAST ONE! and his weekends are now officially going to be free...permanantly!
He was extremely happy yesterday! and we would have celebrated but we were both dead.
But yes, it's definitly been a good end of month.
