im finally allowing the hangover to kick in.

its not a hangover as such but sheer exhaustion! my feet are killing me after dancing all night.

the wedding was really really good in a very very posh hotel. i only had 1 drink there (was quite tipsy by the time i arrived for this very reason!) and it cost me £7.25!! yes a vodka lime and soda water coz me £7.25!!! i expect a full grown sprouting lime tree for that to make the lime cordial i didnt get in the drink!

we back into town afterwards met up with the birthday/leaving do party people and got some more reasonable priced alcohol.

kids are in bed and ive been at my parents all day to pretty much no flying needed here today except for sorting out my fridge freezer after my big freezer blew up! yes smoke and sparks the whole sheee bang! i now have food at my parents and my cousins. there was some in my aunts but after reshuffling and condensing i managed to fit some food into my fridge freezer. eating and making lots of soup next week to clear the containers of stock.

I may do this wrong but here should be a pic of Rhys and baby Eva...



Rhys is completely smitten and won't let anyone else hold her. Anyone who tries to hold her gets a thump..:rotfl:
