After a lengthy and interesting chat last night with my boss, he has decided to give me a payrise.

This makes me feel great!!!

Can People Tell I Am Tongue In Cheek?
Or Do They Just Think I Am A Nobber

Anyone who DOESN'T come out with me is a fucking loon. I'm not being funny!

The Honours List Of Party Members : Jessica, Olliekid, Lara, Ed, Jae, Emma, Tristan (my faithful faithful buddy praise Jesus I have you - he's off work sick today incidentally email him your get well wishes here), Big Tristan, Fong, Arnau and his friends Marie and Christophe and Nathan my old friend the photographer who wet nursed me (along with others) through my crazy summer, Wojtek (dashed in and out) then at the club Adam and Simon were there with big smiles and the whole club was rockin'!

So, Tristan and I brought our hula hoops and when enough beer had been imbibed we took to the stage hula hooping!!! Heheheh I remember looking at Adam's face look up as we hula'd in disbelief, then this massive grin appearing. T'was cool fun!

Later the club filled up with bodies and I do not remember having had such a good dance in there for ages. We finally left after Fong decided to take a power nap and was spotted by the bar manager who wrongly assumed she had passed out. He obviously is not privvy to the tactics of hard core partying. The power nap is an integral part of any partying hard chica!!!


Hula Hooping Whilst Drunk Is Fun!!!

As is drunkenly clambering on to Big Tristan's shoulders on the dancefloor, dropping beer everywhere when you're smashed, holding your glasses/bottles on your heads when things go well, drinking Cosmpopolitans that Jess buys for you, sleeping with your girlfriends, your girlfriends drinking beer riiiiiiiiiiiight up until they fall asleep and waking up drunk at 7.30AM, falling over, birthday presents, birthday kisses, birthday hugs (tips hat to Ollie who is the best hugger I know), borrowing make up, rude dreams and Fongs.


8 Hour Hangovers Are Not Cool

But our house party will be!! Sean & Bianca return on the 23rd March so we shall be having a combined 'Welcome Back Sean & Bianca' and 'Happy Birthday Sean!!' party the weekend after. You are all invited, invites on the way to your overburdened email servers soon.


Oh! By The Way!




imbibe Wojtek taught me this word!!

Let The Celebrations Commence!!

FRIDAY NITE

Headed down to Wagamamma with Mark and Tristan in tow. Ate yummy noodles in the company of excellent friends (in order of seated around table) Sophie, Lara, Fong, Paul, Alex, Charlotte and Charlotte's friend and Paul. A perfect ten indeed!!!

I wore a gorgeous vintage dress that Fong had spied on eBay and hawked on to me - I looked little Miss Pretty!! (Please note I am standing on a REAL tube map which was given to me by the station supervisor at Angel. It is now in our vestibule)



SATURDAY NITE

The legendary After Skool Club played host to my Saturday night disco birthday celebrations. Was a lovely drunken night with Tristan and Fong in tow and then meeting friends along the way (Iain & Lynne in the Shakespears Head before) and randoms and friendlies in the club.
Remember Paul and Ross from the summer? My friends from Ireland? Well they were BOTH over here for a mini holiday and together with my darling Phelim sang a rousing chorus of Happy Birthday followed by Tie A Yellow Ribbon. It's things like this you never forget! Yay! Yay! Yay! Fong bought me a sambuka after which I started to feel a little shady so a little later headed back home to see Mark who had come back from Hastings to spend the night before he goes off to Scotland for the last week of the No Sleep, No Need tour.
Once at home, Fong & I decided a face pac was the way to go and we ate l'il Tristan's delectable pumpkin pie which he had made for my birthday!!!


Dont Mess With Us!!!

SUNDAY SUNDAY
We're Going to The Zoo Zoo Zoo You can come Too Too Too How About You You You We're Going To The Zoo Zoo Zoo

Once again my Trusty little Tristan accompanied me on this date. (He is so reliable and such a friend to me I can't tell you in words, but ask me and I'll show you the interpretive dance). We met with Jessica - my oldest best friend from years of yore and So Sweet Susie and her two childer Alex and James. It was a great, great, great day. Even though it was chilly we saw lions, tigers, monkeys, gorillas, rabbits, otters, merecats, bugs, jellyfish, snakes, and had a great great time. I was so happy :) We even made friends at the zoo with this old man who knew all the animals by name!!
(*I did NOT want to see the snakes - Jess & Tristan MADE me and I felt sick and scared. Especially as the Green Mamba had a sign up saying this snake is aggressive and heads straight for the keeper who is trying to clean out the cages I kept thinking of the bit in Harry Potter when the glass disappeared in the snake house!!!!!!!! :( Also there were some freaky terrapins with dislocating necks that made me feel gross and I had to run away)

Enjoy the pictorial experience yourselves below!!!!


This little monkey's name is Grub! his dad is called Max and was brought over from Belfast Zoo to mate with Grub's mum who's name is Shaziqua


Two of the giraffes are now 26 and this is ancient for giraffes. Sadly they are not expected to live much longer :( There is also a 7 year old giraffe youngster (not pictured here). Giraffes have beautiful eyes, standing in front of a giraffe is freaky because of their immense size and alien features. Very otherworldy experience


There were swarms of otters running all over the banks chasing the fruit that the keepers threw out for them. They look very different in real life - more like rats that you'd expect!!


We went to the petting zoo and I wanted to take a picture of Tristan and this goat, but he was a bit shy. This picture is called Girl and Goat. And she was a very cute little kid. We all petted goats :)

A lovely lovely day and BIG THANKS and love to Susie, Alex, James, Jess and of course Tristan you made my day :)

SUNDAY NITE

Yes MORE cool things! We arrived home from the zoo and my ma and pa turned up with pots and pots of Indian food and chapatis, red wine and a big chocolate cake and mangoes and lychees. Lush girls Naoko, Christine and Kim showed up bearing bottles of wine, a bottle of Baileys and Jelly Babies!! Also Big Tristan and Fran came so it was a warm, freindly gathering. I ended up completely pished and then hula hooped for the Lush girlies. I think they were scared!!

Roll on TUESDAY NITE where I will be trekking to White Heat to dance the night away. Glee, Joy and Rhapsody. I lead a lucky life for which I praise the Lord.


Last Word On The Seven Year Ex

I wish that my ex would stop telling blokes that I have had sexual relations with that I cheated on him! Most of them already know this, and it's funny when they report back to me but it's a bit wearing now. His comments vary from "He says you shagged half of London" to "He says you quadruple timed him". I'm sure I gave him the list so why doesn't he cross reference it before he speaks to people?!!

Anyway. He's happy now and so am I. That's the positive thing.
