Christmas do

I started organising our work Christmas meal in August, I think. Deciding where to go, giving everyone two options. They chose the wrong one - nothing awful about it, but the alternative was Jamie's Italian. Next year there will be no second option lol.

Making the booking, collecting people's deposits, chasing reluctant payers, confirming numbers, taking balance payments, cancelling places, refunding balances, finding alternates.

And finally the day arrived - working, working, working, put the face on, get changed, and we're walking...

Handing out vouchers for a 'free' first drink, barman doesn't want them and doesn't take them despite prior agreement with the restaurant, kick up a fuss, hand out more vouchers, can't move for people, where are we sitting, herding herding herding, get to the bar, large glass of red...

AAAAANNNNNDDDDDDD RELAX!!

Thank god there's another 12 months to next Christmas!
