OK, for my own benefit, before the alcohol takes over completely:-

(and just for the record, it took me 2 spellchecks to finally be able to spell "completely" completely :P)

Yesterday, I left the house by 8am, which was a minor miracle, and I reached Exeter by 11.30am. There was no traffic holdups and I was able to cruise through with no hinderence from the weather. Yay!

We watched some DVDs - the Corpse Bride and Newsies - and chatted until Janey and Ian arrived, before we finally toppled into bed.

Today we woke up and had breakfast - toast with taramasalata - and waited for [livejournal.com profile] thalinoviel and [livejournal.com profile] bytepilot to surface. To be fair, the latter had not arrived until well past 11pm the previous evening :)

Once we were all mostly conscious, a shopping trip was planned. The fact I was there and with a working car totally influenced the decision to raid the local Tesco's. *g* Vast amounts of food and booze were acquired, plus [livejournal.com profile] lithium_doll insisted something else for me (and subsequent guests) to sleep on was procured. For I'd had to admit, I'd not slept terribly well on the fold down bed that had been provided for me - it was too hard and there was a distressing drop in level juuuust where my hips rested, thus meaning back ache was a constant problem. After a trip around the local Halford's (they did camping stuff too!), an inflatable mattress was acquired. I shall report on its comfort the next time I post :)

Also while in Tesco's, [livejournal.com profile] thalinoviel and I collaborated on a new present for [livejournal.com profile] bytepilot, as I'd realised the night before, while wrapping presents, that he couldn't actually drink the butterscotch brandy I'd bought, due to the fact it contained cream. This is what happens when you shop in a hurry. Happily, Janey was willing to chip into another present which I'll reveal tomorrow, whilst cheerfully accepting the other present as a gift for her birthday :) She's a sweetie :)

After we got home, there was booze, silly games, booze, silly games, food, booze, silly games - oh you get the gist. Currently, we're having a pause in the aforementioned while the fondue heats up, then we'll return to the treadmill *grins happily and not a bit drunkenly*

Hope you're all having an equally fun day :D *hiccups happily* 'Scuse me, 's the cider :D
Music:: Our own special "Christmas" mix
Mood:: 'pickled *hic*' pickled *hic*

Well, I guess my teling you to "have fun" before you left was TOTALLY unnecessary.... ;-)
