Refresh

Well I've clearly not been around much the last few months. Just needed to take a break and get away from life whilst we dealt with the fall out of my nephews death and other such incidents which meant i've not been the most sociable person of late.

Still I think it's time now to put aside that chapter and move forward into the rest of the year. I'm still waiting for the insurance people to come and fix my roof. It began leaking in Jan so we figured we'd picked up some storm damage and called them. In the meantime everytime it rains water pours through my ceilings and adds to the effect we are giving to everyone that we're living in a glorified squat. It's rather frustrating as we can't begin to do anything internally or externally until the roof is fixed. 6 weeks, I think a call to the insurance company is called for!

It's been a busy ole month. It started with Hellens birthday - which was a great laugh as ever even if her pressie still hasn't arrived. Hmmm I think another phone call is in order there as well. But there was much dancing and drinking and generally being merry.

Last weekend was Mistress Caz's hen doo which was a laugh. I was in charge as the actual bridesmaid is too young to be out on a hen doo so after much plotting for the purchase of trashy hen things and much conflab with the hen about where she'd like to go we finally decided on a trip on the duck bus, a meal in Buffet Star followed by drinking, strippers and Disco.

i didn't know really what to expect from, Spice on Stanley Street but figured it'd be similar to its counter part Sugar - filled with fantasy figures that you could never have (well most people could never have) - brad pittesque look alikes with look alike bodies.

no.

Less brad pitt more Jeff Pitt. And Mick Hucknall dressed as a fireman.
mmm yeh you get the picture. And the other thing that struck me was that with the ladies joints if you even BREATHE in the direction of one of the girls a hairy gorilla in a tux "escorts" you from the premisis and dumps you into the nearest skip. In this place if you didn't grope the dancers it was considered weird.

Very odd thing but a laugh and the hen enjoyed it. I don't think Craig has to worry about her running off with Jeff Pitt tho ;)

Off to another hen doo this weekend coming and then I'm hiding until the weddings. ... thinking of Mick Hucknall (as little as possible obviously) "money is too tight to mention"
