Sunglasses, Crocodiles and a nose job

Thank god I cleaned my car this morning. It was cleaned because I was too ashamed to let my nan get in it , but then later in the day, after an afternoon where I remained sober, I played taxi driver to my cousin and two of her friends who were off into Nantwich for booziness! (I got the better end of the deal as my Uncle Dave had to make two return taxi trips to fit a couple of the girls and the fellas in!) - and let me tell you - I'd have crawled into a hole in the ground if I'd have had to have taken them out in the filth bucket that was my car at 11am this morning.

Absolutely fantastic afternoon at my Aunt and Uncle's house - fabulous food as always (my uncle Dave does put on a great feast everytime we go round) and even whilst sober, I can honestly say that I have not been so relaxed and entertained as I was today. The other photos from today


And I seem to have acquired a number of additional guests for our wedding next year. (Yes Money, I will let you come to the ball. And you too...Pete the b****rd, and Liam...you too...possibly the other Giles too...does that mean Eamonn has to come as well?!?!?!)

My cousin Vikki - blonde, big sunglasses - and her girlfriends all sat with the shades on for most of the afternoon - I have to confess to feeling slightly dowdy and underdressed compared to the glam that I was surrounded by - however, I am at least 10 years older than all of them, so I guess I can be forgiven for my lack of glamour and style!

My cousin Si, or Sid - I love Si to bits - always get a big hug when I see him, and he lets me slap him in the belly (and he is cultivating a fine set of moobs!)

Vik - I love you to bits too!!!!

James was taught about a drinking game (Crocking, or Crocked to death as James called it, but Simon mis-heard - yes, you can imagine!!!) where a small plastic crocodile is dropped into the drink of an unwitting victim and they subsequently have to down it. James clearly wasn't drinking, but became the puppet of Si and Money (he's the one doing the Gay eagle impression with James and looking like he is hatching a plot in one of the other photos) - I have to say that all of the 'boys' (Si, Money, Giles2/Ronald, Pete and Liam) were fabulous with James and he thoroughly enjoyed legging it around and getting up to mischief. Rose (my aunt) got involved by adding a small "my little pony" and a "DeeDee" doll into the mix later on, to good effect as no-one was expecting it.

Oh yeah, that IS Simon copping a feel of Liam's chest. Liam looks disinterested, Simon looks quite into it. I do worry!

James now wants to spend a weekend in London with Simon. No comment!!! (but he's mentioned it about 5 times since leaving Rose and Dave's).

Do you think Money's nose looks fab? We all think it looks bigger (apparently it got badly broken by somebody headbutting him...so he's had reconstructive/plastic surgery! bless)

And continuing on the glam/lifestyles of the rich and famous - parked on the drive...a fancy 2 seater BMW, A jag, a Porsche boxter and a bloody Maserati. I am in the wrong job!!!!

So, boys and girls, if you're reading this I hope that
a) your hangovers aren't too bad
b) you didn't disturb Nana when you got home (money - you KNOW what I am talking about)
c) I will see you all soon! (or at least next year at the wedding)

(BTW - wedding plans have commenced ...Easter or Whit next year...woohoo! My mutation into Bridezilla will commence shortly!)
