Weekend rundowns:

Part 2 of detox & London exile...

Fri - Went to Brighton and ate in a lovely restaurant with an impromptu belly dancing performance.

Saturday - Christmas shopping, then onto the Scissor Sisters gig - they were amazing and I like them all over again. Despite everyone saying, "Oh that's sooo 2004 of you." :roll::lol:

Sunday - Trawled the North Laines, ate food, went back to London...watched Prince 'Sign o the times' - excellent concert. Oh and planet earth - 8O8O8O
 
Friday: Birthday dinner, drinks here in Oxford and then to slide for house music shenanigans. Followed by an afterparty at mine which was a bit manic 8O

Saturday: Felt sorry for myself!

Sunday: Cleaned up the house, had a big late lunch and generally lazed around watching telly.
 
Fri: went to my new favourite place :) :) The Lucky Voice Karaoke in Soho. Private rooms for you and your mates. no more having to listen strangers wailing. grrrrrreat fun

sat: went to see Breaking and Entering. the Anthony Mingella/Jude Law movie. A wee bit long and a wee bit dull. The only reason we went to see it is because it was filmed in our hood when we were living in Primrose Hill. Nice to see our street in the movies.

sun: a session in the Porchester Baths. steaming, swimming, sauna-ing and chilling
 
Could a weekend go any more wrong :roll: 8O :lol:

Fri - quick drink after work then home to Tom and dinner.

Sat - Jon and Bec came over in the day to start their leaving shenanigans and went out for lunch with them. Got a taxi into town and then went to Stephen's fancy 30th party, then headed to The End cos we knew it was going to be heaving. Walking into The End and this biatch of a woman goes 'You're not coming in' to me. We were like 'wtf', she was trying to tell me I was paraletic (sp??) - by this time I'd only had a glass of champagne and 3 wines :roll: A man bouncer comes and says for us to go but we can come back in half an hour so we headed to the pub and caught up with Ferd and his Barry and then tried again for the second time where we were told the same thing, by this time I was fuming - if I had been a state (which I have been many many times :lol: ) I'd have held my head up and gone fine but I was completely 'normal' by my standards. I was ready to leave there and then but we both wanted to spend a final night with Jon and Bec so the bouncer told us to come back in 20 mins, so back to the pub we went and then went and try for the THIRD TIME. At this point the supposed 'manager' said to Tom, 'I told you to come back in 20 mins and it's only been 15', at which point Tom had had enough so he told the man what for (and I don't think we'll be welcome back in The End for a while :lol: ) so we sold our tickets and jumped on the tube and headed to the sanctuary of Ministry. Ministry was soooo busy and a really good crowd - completely different to last week and the music was boompety boomp heaven. We left there and thought we'd pop into Gollums on the way back - both me and Tom had forgotten our phones :roll: so it could have been a complete goosechase but fortunately Paul was in there so we had a little sesh with him til Rach and the girlies came back, then we finally managed to get hold of Jon and Bec who'd just left The End and they popped round to, carried on there then got a taxi back to ours and carried on til midnight (at one point using our hairdressing skills as me, Tom and Bec gave Jon a VERY short hair cut :lol: ) - feel VERY wrong but at least we gave Jon and Bec a good send off :D

What does it mean? :?


Friday: very late and long lunch with my best friend in the sun. In the evening, dinner with few of my girlies, drinks at the odd kentuky and then we wanted to go to La Paloma but the guy who usually puts us on list wasn't there and the queu was kilometric, so we decided to go to the 52 which was nearly closed and stayed there for a couple of very mad hours

Saturday: spent the day in Girona with Pep, I was a good girlfriend and watched him playing basketball. At night dinner and drinks with his team

Sunday: Went to the mountains with my friends to celebrate Pep's birthday. Emptied a bottle of Bayle's :oops: and on the way back home I was so drunk that Pep was tempted to abandon me in the middle of the motorway :oops:
 
friday: took the missus out for a meal in soho with a nice jazzy soundtrack. Went to digress, alphabet then ended up at floridita. Twas all very nice :)

saturday: dragged myself out of bed and headed back to my homeland... sunny chelmsford! Met up with my sis to see the little nephews. Took em to see my nan and had fun seeing em walk around for the first time. Headed off to london again, saw the missus for a few drinks then off to the end for svenny. Rob called to say two cars had just slammed into his motor. ouch! Tried to txt him and rach to say that i was just walkin down the steps into the end... realised i had no network in there. Slapped myself. They managed to find me propping up the bar. Saw alot of the mob down there and met alot of new guys and gals. Respect the eindhoven!!! :lol: Sven was great but no one really liked the guy after him.

sunday: got back to the missus at 9ish and curled up with a cuppa. Woke up at 1pm and felt crap for the day. Had a walk round the park to feel better and then went to a bar for dinner. Felt better sitting next to the fire and then felt too hot soon after which made me feel crap again! Got home at 12:30 so watched some tv in bed followed by a well deserved kip.
 
Fri: Nearly went out but weather stopped plans. Good job really cos my mates ended up doing the Spearmint Rhino thing :?

Sat: Good catchup in office, gym, messy late night at home.

Sun: Woke up feeling dreadful, got ready and dragged ourselves to a fashion show type thingy at a clothes shop in town. Girls had their hair/make up done while us guys quaffed the free drinks. Us guys were totally outnumbered with all the estrogen so went off round some other shops. Girls caught up, bought some clothes then finished it off with more drinks and a nice lunch. Came off, more drinks, big pizza (to myself), watched The Ring2 (crap) and early night.

Eh Drew:?: Think that´s between you and the missus.....
 
Friday - Attended the 10th anniversary of the Moscow Photography Museum, one of the hottest tickets in town that night. Nice event, though I must say that all these artworld-type attendees tore through the buffet like no people I've ever seen :lol: Made it an early night.

Saturday - Very relaxed day at home. Ordered pizza, watched football.... and got bored by midnight so got ready and went out to Club XIII. Hadn't been there since early summer and it turned out to be the birthday of the owner (an old friend). Music was crap though... around 6, several free whisky-colas later, I was in enough of a state to believe that going to Mix for afters was a good idea. A little over 3 hours there and then went drunken grocery shopping on the way home :lol:

Sunday - home at 10, slept until 5, then got up and made the big pot of spicy Cajun jambalaya :D Did some laundry and more research for our Mexico trip...
 
Brilliant last weekend for me:

Thursday - met up with Rach and co for birthday drinks. Got merrily drunk, stumbled home and felt very sick in bed 8O

Friday - had a manic day at work trying to get all my stuff finished. Had a lovely leaving speech fro my boss and got lots of nice pressies :D Headed down to the pub where we'd hired out a room above a pub for our bash. Thrilled to see so many people down, the room was packed there must have been about 50 people in there :D Got drunk again, the party finished at about 11.30, then we headed to Jon's work bar for more drinks, stayed up chatting with an old friend til about 4.15am, realised we had another big day ahead of us tomorrow, got a cab back to mine.

Saturday - woke up feeling very hungover, drove round to Bab's house for about 4pm, straight down the pub for hair of the dog and a pub lunch. More drinks back at the house, then got a cab to Soho for Stephens 30th party. Had a couple of glasses of champagne with a few bites of the canapes :lol: then left for the End at about 10.30pm.
Everyone was feeling great in the queue, bumped into some more friends, walked in the door only to turn around and see Sar arguing with the door staff 8O Uh oh! By this time we'd gone through so we stood at the top of the stairs only to see poor Sar getting bundled out of the door by a burly bouncer 8O :x (dont know why, we'd all had a bit to drink, even some other friends who had been out since 10am that morning managed to get in :? (she must have looked like trouble ;) )
Went into the club, met up with everyone else who was there (thanks everyone who came - we really appreciate it :D ). Heard from people who came in after us that Sar wasn't allowed in even though she'd gone away and tried several times :cry: What a c.rap start to the night.
Thought we should make the bets of it so mingled around and generally waited until Sven came on. God himself arrived at about 1am, straight in the decks boshing out some proper good techno. The place was erupting and I had a massive grin on my face coz I knew the rest of his set would be brilliant! Dance non stop until about 4.15am, thought the music was getting a bit sh1t :? Then Jon goes "Hang on that's not Sven on the decks!!" - turns out that his set wasn'y "all night" as previously advertised but he finished at 4am :x :evil: What a joke! How can they call it Cocoon when he played for 3hrs :spank:
Reaslied at about 7am we'd still not heard from Sar or Tom despite leaving several messages for them. My car and door keys etc were at theirs so we had no idea what to do afterwards! Thankfully Rach, lorna etc got in touch with us as we'd literally gone down into the tube and told us everyone was having a carry-on back in Balham. Jumped on the Northern line, popped in to say Hi to Rach and co (so glad we done that :p ) then got a cab back to Ealing.

Sunday - spent the whole day minxing around, drinking and gassing with Sar while the boys done boring things like watch football and eat burgers (lightweights). Think I surpassed my record of staying up, managed to stay awake until about 10pm when sleep finally took over :lol:

Feel a bit wrong today but it was worth it :D

:D but lots of :cry: In the words of Jimmy Somerville (before your time lol ;) ) don't leave me this way :lol: :lol: :lol:

Still gutted we missed out on the Sven antics with you but at least we made sure we made up for it in aftershow antics ;)
 
Fri: Was sick so didnt make it to work.

Sat: Had a brilliant time at Cocoon. The music was great from Sven (a perfect blend of house, electro, techno and minimal) and the atmosphere was one of the best at The End.
Two bad points.. the bouncers and door staff were awful. Aside from the babs incident aside, when we went in and left the club they were rude and incredibly grumpy. Stu nearly got into a fight with one of them!! :lol:
The other bad point was the cloakroom queue, it took us more than 1 hour to get them again. Surely they can come up with a better system than that!

Nevertheless, it didnt spoil my night and was great to see Robo, Rachel, damo and ofcourse jon and becki for one last time.

Sun: Saw Barca win 3-1 in a cracking game, great goal from Ronaldinho 8)
