Actually ....................i was very restrained under the circumstances,i just have to say - we had such a wonderful party for my mums eightieth - I ewanted to make her feel special - like a princess and I think she did. Such a lovely evening with friends and family gathering from far and near - so lovely.
All too often I've seen people pushing the boat out at funerals ................it's too late then. My mum had a ball - and so did we.
I'm bloody knackered now though!

We did that for my Grandma's 80th, it was a day to remember, she didnt know whether to laugh or cry at the photo of her we had put on her huge cake. All the family there... so good memories .... that was 2 years ago, and sooo pleased it happened.

(better not have my Paolo there...)No btw.. Go-Mo is still a toast free zone (but I never got the chance to tell you that

Definitely a laugh and not a cry, Eve. It's always great to remember the good memories. My nan (totally losing it by then) came to my wedding and insisted she was going to the Bingo. If that wasn't daft enough, she'd NEVER been to a bingo hall in her life!
I know in my heart that that's quite poignant but I choose to smile about it 'cos she was bloomin' lovely and she always made me laugh. x

here, I'm afraid (you don't think I'd be complaining do you???) I'm sorry to hear about the toast too - in every single way. xxx

Well that's the thing about food/eating/drinking and gatherings, isn't it? It brings people together and like Soozy's been saying, a great memorable time is had by all.
I really like the Spanish, Italian and French attitude to meal times - it's like a celebration every time you eat.
Sometimes I think it shows how I've over celebrated though.....

I'm dreading going to tomorrow nights weigh in at Slimming World, Although ..........................................I did eat a slice of pork pie when preparing>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>during the whole evening I was so concerned that everyone had a good time all I ate was one tiny sausage roll!
However I lost count of how many glasses of wine I drunk but that really doesn't count does it?
I never count the liquids, Soozy (haven't enough fingers and toes for it )
As for your date with Slimming World tomorrow - well, it's only a minor blip. You don't celebrate events like that every day.
Wine = grapes = fruit = 1 of 5 a day dietry requirements.
*goes to back to lalala, I'm in denial land*

I love food too much, so I've started a diet today.

Use your mum's birthday party as an excuse, Soozy.

Only if followed by four and a half hours of frenetic dancing. I can hardly walk today and a massive bruise on my foot - I guess someone stood on my foot at one point.TBH I have no recollection.
