Best Weekend in the World.... Ever (Volume 32)

Oh my goodness guys I've got such a lot to recap on here, I've had an amazing birthday weekend. Here's the Day by day run down..

Friday Night:
After work we went out (me, Nick, my Dad & his partner) to Le Petit Bistro for dinner and this is a bit disgusting but I tried steak tartare for the first time. to be honest it didn't taste of much and there was a little raw quails egg in amonst the raw steak. So that was interesting, and then I ate sole for my main course and afterwards we came back to the flat for a bit with everyone but it wasn't a really late night fortunately. It was really nice, I had far too much wine and flet really groggy the next day but it was my birthday so its got to be done!

Sat:
Got up v v early to go to Jersey for the day. Arrived and went to the dress shop straight away and horrors!! The dumb woman hadn't done all of the alterations so they had to call her in and get them done during the day. So I went away slightly concerned and did some shopping, met up with Alex for a smoothie in the afternoon, went back to the dress shop and thank god the dress was OK.

Then I went to the 'Bohemia Bar' at 6pm where some friends from Guernsey were drinking cocktails and about to go off on a hen night. It was my mate SJ's big sister Lisa and they were off to some cabaret night with drag queens and stuff that SJ had organised! Hilarious.

Then back to Gsey on the ferry in the evening, with the dress in tow. I got back and Nick was calling me every 5 minutes to see where I was because he'd told me he was cooking me a special birthday dinner which he wanted to time perfectly for my arrival home. But then I get home and the house is all dark and all the curtains were drawn and he ran outside and met me at the gate. Me being so gullible I wasn't suspicious at all and let him take me inside the house. But then as we were walking up the stairs he started speaking in a strangely LOUD voice and I began to wonder if something was going on. Well, I walked finally into the kitchen to be greeted by a dozen drunk friends and a face full of party poppers!!! Bless them Nick & Rachel had spent the whole day preparing the house and had organised a surprise party in the theme of a childrens party. They even baked me a spaceship cake!!! We played pass the parcel and ate sick amounts of sweets and pizza. And I had a my little pony banner and a flashing pink fluffy crown that said 'birthday girl'!
I loved my party so much, I have never had a surprise party before and it was amazing. And Nick even kept everyone out on the balcony cos he knows how paranoid I am about spills on the new carpets!! What a love. I will try and get some photos on here soon.

Sunday:
Slept in, obviously. Had to go meet the Church Organist at noon to decide what tunes to have at the ceremony. I started crying when I heard the wedding song which doesn't bode well!!! In the afternoon I popped round to give my Dad his fathers day pressies and then in the evening we went to my cousins for a BBQ and ate far too much meat and cheesecake. Later on we came home and watched Spanglish.

And now it's Monday and I've just been into town and ordered a pair of wedding shoes. They're quite expensive and I'm not 100% about them but they're sale or return so I can always change my mind when they arrive. I also spent some of my birthday money on a skirt and green cardie that are quite sweet from Dotty P's.
