Party

One thing I had been warned about is Americans except invites, but suffer no guilt if a better offer comes along and blow you out of the water, I had a demostration of that last night, the Brits gave appologies if they couldn't make it to the extent that one person turned up looking like death, to say she wasn't coming cos she was ill, which clearly she was. the Americans just didn't turn up, that said the Americans who did turn up where great, really nice and funny, I really enjoyed their company. and bless them they watched Mitchel and Webb and tryed to enjoy it.

I had such a good time the people who came to a man and women where great, the best people on the list turned up, I had never met Raj before...what a man great with kids, and he's invited us for food at his house....most definatley going, Anne and her husband, didn't have much convo with her but her hubby, we talked for ages about our rellys, he is such a sweety I may well have to adopt him, they may have kids of their own? don't know , but I am going to kidnap them they are soooooooooooo nice and fun.
Then there was Nick and his wife, they are way to glam for their age, his wife looked younger than me, dispite her having almost but not quite 10 yrs on me, how does she do that...not fair!
and they brought me cook book which anyone who knows me, know that is a fabbie present, I still can't cook but I love cooking, and I left such a lot of cook books in the UK.
Ali and Nick what can I say Brits and fun, and better still they have 2 amazing kids who get on with mine, Grumper is in love with H (girl), and Dobby is great friends with D (boy)they share a mutual love of Roary the racing car.
Julie and John, Brits again good fun, but can't give them an age I think they started young, their daughter V is 22 and she reminds me of my friend from childhood Helena, smart, clever and no nonsence! she is fab with kids.
Gill and Simon, great to see them, the only friend I had before America couldn't believe they came, again I wanted to kidnap them....please stay the night...please....unfortuatley they saw my stalker tendancey and went home.
well anyway I enjoyed my party and I got some fabbie presents, 2 bunches of flowers, 5 bottles of wine which unfortunately I can't drink, cos they are all red and I don't drink red as it makes me melancholy.. a watering can so I can retire the boys yellow plasic one, a best buy voucher and a candle, my boys brought a outside thermometre from a dollar store, all in all a good Birthday.
