    Haha I overdid it again at my work do, no more big nights now till christmas though so I should be able to recover.

    Our work do was quite good, I was nominated for top girl at work in the awards so pleased with that. We had a quiz and stuff so was a fun night. Haven't been feeling too great at work today and I got up early to go to a seminar about my exam and it had been moved to yesterday arghh how annoying.

    I only have three more days left at work before christmas which is good as I still have a few things to do still before the big day. I also have OH's passing out for the police on Friday so looking forward to that.

    I wish I was working three more days. I have to work through till sunday night now and then next weds before I'm finished.
  • Top girl eh, good for you! Hehe, most people always overdo it at the Christmas do, isn't it a must, especially if the company are paying lol. I have mine tomorrow at the Emirates Stadium, all expenses paid xmas do, so will probably be messy. OH has said he will pick me up as doesn't want me in London overnight, but we are all getting put up in hotels, so it will definitely be messy!

    I wasn't with my OH when he had his passing out, i wished i was, it will be lovely. My OH has lots of pics of his, and videos, do they still do the passing our parade at Hendon? or has it changed as it was 8 years ago OH passed out.

    I have work till Tuesday at 4pm - and boy am i counting down the days!

    Yep it is still at Hendon. Got to go meet his Mum and Dad as they are coming up on the train. Will be a very proud girlfriend.

    Your work do sounds brilliant, OH would love it at emirates as he is an Arsenal fan hehe. Mine was a bit of a cheap do but still fun.

    OH's passing out went really well even though it was freezing. I thought my toes were going to freeze off. He looked really smart and had to leave the marching of the second group as he was tallest so was good to take pictures! I was a very proud girlfriend. We went for dinner with his Mum and Dad in leciester Square which was nice.

    I am nice and warm in the flat now. We have got a fairly chilled weekend in the flat. Need to do a bit of last minute christmas shopping and pick OH's stuff up tomorrow.

    Thanks everyone!

    We went to Brent Cross shopping centre today, we went fairly early so wasn't too hectic. We got the rest of OH's family and I got my sister a couple of things to. I only need to get a couple more stocking fillers for OH and a selection box or something but will get them next week as pretty much have no money now till I get paid Tuesday.

    We also went to Asda to get a couple of bits and was mental, there were massive queues with people pushing in etc, what a nightmare! Glad we aren't doing the big food shop. Good luck to my Mum hehe.

    I have managed to clean the fridge and the microwave this afternoon which I have been meaning to do for ages. All the pressies we have got are wrapped so they are all ready to go. I have no money till Tues so tomorrow will probably consist of some more cleaning and just chilling out.

    Hope you are all having a good weekend.
