So, finally, an update on the weekend!

It all started off very civilised, shambelina and Dan arrived Thurs. morning, followed by being_here and walklikeacat later on, which led to a very relaxed evening with cider and refined conversation (cos everyone was knackered).
Friday went much the same way, there was a plan to go out, but it turned out to be too much effort, so instead i made dinner and we chilled out with yet more cider and wine.

Saturday involved quite a bit of effort, on everyone else's part - particularly Dan who did a mountain of washing up AND conquered the light fitting that has defeated me for seven years! Much cleaning was done, then tescos for LOTS of shopping. And Macro for LOTS of booze.
Then a couple of hours to collapse and recover enough energy for the night ahead...



I got all dressed up



Then, thesme_01 arrived



Frighteningly, she interacted with Other Guests



thipe was last to arrive, so we dressed him up as a pirate



And then, CAKE of HORROR appeared



And if this wasn't terrifying enough, hellison_1 showed up! Despite NOT BEING INVITED




accompanied by David Tiquelehoff



I was OVERCOME by the horror of it all, despite gnillot finding it hilarious



Thankfully THe horror stopped, and the singstar began. I say 'thankfully' because i can't actually remember much from this point on and have no idea how bad the singing was



There was, apparently ROCKING OUT going on



But it is all very vague. There was much singing and then most people left by about 5, but there was still punch and cider and MOAR DRINKING til about half 7.

The next day was, not surprisingly, one of much pain and suffering



but, it was worth it ;)


All in all, it was a fabulous weekend, despite the amount of pain on Sunday, and the puma attack on Dan (damm them!).
I had a ball and got some very Special Presents - and am awed by the amount of thought that went into the plotting the horror and presents and so on. Go Team Horror!

I've also had some lovely presents from NORMAL people (well, relatively normal ;p) so thanks for all of those as well.
It was definitely a weekend to remember. At least, up to the point where the punch kicked in and I don't remember the rest

Some more pics here , will get to uploading the rest at some point, but bored with it now ;p
