Three Weeks & Counting

Judi
So.... after the dodgems onto bowling. Bowling is bowling and was good fun and I, of course, won in our group....and not because they let me just because it was 'My Day', but because I actually did win fair and square! During our bowling session Judi decided to splash out and put 20p into the sweet machine.... to her absolute horror only one jelly bean was dispensed!!! Lesley swung into action and took the said 'Jelly Bean' to the kiosk to explain Judi's predicament, only to be told that the sweet machines were not their responsibility and so unfortunately were unable to help. Les gave Judi the 'Jelly Bean' which she popped into her mouth. The jelly bean, in a state of 'half chewed', accidentally fell out of Judi's mouth and landed on the floor...causing much distress to Judi! She was unconsolable and was in mourning for quite some minutes!
All done in the arcade we headed back out to the embankment and stopped for a beer ... which went down a treat!
Next stop....the Rib Ride!

Let's Catch Up





The Hens
Well, it's now August and due to gruelling schedules and wedding appointments, work commitments, studying and, of course, trying to just keep on top of homelife, I am attempting to catch up with events past and bring the 'Countdown to the WarneyWhite Wedding' up to date. It would appear that my future husband and I are always at opposite ends....when I am at work Graham is on his days off, when he is back at work, I'm off.... passing ships in the night. We are both exhaused! Roll on the Big Day so we can sit back and enjoy....!
In the interim period, much has been happening, bridesmaids dresses bought, shoes bought, wedding dress, numerous fittings out the way....so glad, hotel costs paid for, cake paid for, entertainment paid for, honeymoon booked and half paid for, money in pocket = £zero.
Early July played host to My Hen Day.... Organised by the lovely Lesley Harris, from start to finish....thank you Lesley your organisational skills are envied, certainly by me at any rate.
The day started at Les' house for a champagne breakfast to be enjoyed by myself and my two daughters and eight friends, then off to the railway station ever so slightly tipsy.... this was at 10 o clock in morning! Fantastic start to the day.


Lesley



Arrival at Waterloo Station and then Mother Hen and her chicks all in a line follow her along the embankmment with the relentless scorching sun on our backs to the Amusement Arcade!! Well, all us little chicks came to a halt and stared at the arcade a litte bemused... but wow, we had an absolutely brilliant time, it really did take us all back to long ago, halsian days. Dodgems.....hilarious... we had so much fun, we had a few goes and my fellow Hens had huddled and clucked together and, got mean, yep the Hens had conspired to...... 'get Cazza'.

This is me just before the 'Hens onslaught' of 'Get Cazza'......nawty little Hens!
So....I'm off to bed now so will return to finish off the Hen Day Saga another time.....next up....bowling!
