[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 307505, member: 1991"] G'day, folks. It's Sunday here already. Sharon/LDM, happy birthday to easy child! And the cooler weather has you making soup - we thrive on soup in the colder months. Fran, enjoy the gala. And all the exercise you will need, to get fit for the Fun Run. I hope the get-together with girlfriend's parents works out OK. We had a very embarrassing incident when husband's parents met mine. My father made a very bad gaffe, thought he would never live it down. ML, I'd love to get riding lessons for our kids. easy child 2/difficult child 2 wanted riding lessons but we just couldn't fit it into our schedules. As for difficult child 3 - I think it would be good for him but it IS expensive. The riding school nearest us is still almost an hour's drive away. It's almost 2 am here and I just got in. easy child & I have just got back from easy child 2/difficult child 2's hen's night. It was at her favourite Irish pub which was coincidentally celebrating it's birthday, so there was a general party atmosphere. One of the pub guests came up to me and said how much he enjoyed seeing the girls having a great time. easy child 2/difficult child 2 had wanted everyone to come in costume and wearing masks. She herself was dressed as a rather raunchy French maid, with an elaborate lacy black mask. easy child went as a cheerleader, I went as Robin Hood. daughter in law was a bunny girl so we were definitely getting a lot of interesting looks. easy child 2/difficult child 2's best friend was a naughty nun in miniskirt and carrying a riding crop. I'll have to post some photos... When we left the party was still going but the pub had closed its doors, no more newcomers allowed in. easy child 2/difficult child 2 just has to walk home, two of her best friends are walking with her and have not been drinking. A good thing - she will still be vertical but she was fairly smashed. We were worried she would be drinking too much as a result of just being sacked, but she was having too much fun. When the topic did come up (one of the guests is a good friend from work who didn't know, but when told said she also had been told she might be out of a job) easy child 2/difficult child 2 was clearly very angry about it, which is a lot better than distraught (as she was yesterday). I still haven't had the chance to have a Council of War with her about it all. That will be Monday - we MUST do it then. We have a lot of wedding stuff to do over the next week but sorting out the mess from her job has to come first, so we can put it behind us and let the authorities take care of things for her. I think she will feel a lot happier knowing we've done all we could. My throat is feelnig so hoarse - the pub had an Irish band playing (and Riverdance-style dancers) so shouting over it all was difficult. It set me off coughing a few times (still recovering from whooping cough). But it was lovely to see easy child 2/difficult child 2 and easy child get up and dance along to the music.

But it was lovely to watch. easy child 2/difficult child 2 couldn't have been too drunk at the time, to be able to manage those moves so well! It was BF2's bucks night tonight also. He won't be home tonight, so their flat is going to be full of hungover hens. easy child came home with me, she is heading back to Canberra in the morning. We'll see her on Wednesday (I think). This is going to be the busiest week yet, of all the weddings. Enjoy your Saturday. Marg [/QUOTE]
