Well.... this was a great end to the year of work!! The xmas party was themed - Rock and pop stars. So dress up was essential - but hard! Espec when you dont look like a rock or pop star!! When you look at the photos youll see we kinda just made it up!
Started the day with lunch with the Football in the Community and Education team at one of the restaurants in Chelsea, too much wine later and a nice feed, we wandered back via many a pub to end up at an irish bar in fulham! Things were starting to get messy so we headed back to the motel at stamford bridge to get changed - the fun part!!
Girls and guys had booked a few rooms for the night, so we all got changed, more wine... and headed to the blues bar for a drink! As you can tell way to much drinking, but the motto of the night for myself was start early finish early! I think i told rach that if i started early i would finish drinking by ten and then be sober enough for the taxi ride at 3am that morn to head to norway..... hmmm, im not that good at saying no!!
Party was great, was in one of the massive rooms in the stadium, had kareoke from four groups, funny, thats what the naked dogs are doing in my photos! and elvis obviously! then had a live band to dance the night away wiht, followed by dj. Drinks were free, mojitos, wine, sum random orange stuff that tasted like rocket fuel!?!? Yip dad taught me well!! Was heaps of fun, 10pm went and i thought, im feeling sweet, you can extend your drinking allowance time dana!! hmmm, note to self, dont listen to self! twelve came and i figured i should try and pull myself off the dance floor and get me shit together!! A few random messages from kathy, who i must add told me i had plenty of time and should stay out!!! Managed to be sitting next to one of the chelsea players (carlos cudicini) for about ten minutes before i was told who it was! funny - i suck!
Finally managed to get myself on the bus, after stopping and sitting on the street to change my shoes - feet hurt - bloody heels! Got to putney, managed to get a burger and chips (arrrggghh!)for the walk home, lucky rob rung and said he was walking to get me, coulda been a long walk, wanted to stop and eat my feed!!
Home james, and 1 and 1/2 hour later up outta bed for the taxi.....
