Christmas

[anakin]

make sure they have humbugs on the table instead of mints after their meal

Brilliant!

And if you have to hire entertainment, don't hire magicians, hire the three Christmas ghosts! Theme it "Scrooge Party".

Haha my mum suggested laxatives and a sudden lack of loo roll might also work!

Oh, that is bad, considering its just 2 people that is so stingy!!

I went to the Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park the other day, it was really empty, maybe cause its not been open long!! It really got me in the Christmas spirit, although it is a bit expensive, the ferris wheel was £7.50 each and the most of the other rides were £3 each!!

I went Saturday evening, all day when we were inside shopping it stayed dry but when we decide to go to Hyde Park it poured it down, didn't bother with the wheel as someone said the view wasn't that good and it was dark so we didn't see much point, but we did go on this Power Tower ride which was good, everything on the stalls seemed kinda expensive (but i guess that was just because its London) so we didn't b*y anything, i think i might have enjoyed it more if it hadn't have been raining so much.

Yeah I am pretty cross...but mainly just can't understand why they would want to be so mean. It's just really horrible.

Especially nice because I now have to organise it!

Admin staff here is just me and one contract lady...so not really a huge group to go and complain. Don't want to go now anyway!

I am so sorry that is dreadful What a horrible group of people they must be
I wish you worked with me you would be welcome on any of them, we don't take partners and some we p*y for ourselves but we never leave anyone out we are just one big team with the same objective!
Without you they couldn't survive and you are too good for them!!!

Thanks everyone! It really helps to know that I am not just being a drama queen.

Anyway, for the moment I'll just have to grin and bear it...until another job comes along!

I was passing by last night and popped in to have a look. I must say it's really beautiful at night with all the lights on. I didn't feel like I was in London, but some smaller town in Austria or Germany. I was just having a look, so didn't go on the rides or b*y anything, but I can imagine it's quite expensive. It's being run by AEG, the american owners of the O2 dome, so I am not surprised with the pricing, considering they are charging £22 for the Mamma mia giant screening in Jan...

Does this strike a chord with anyone else?

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas......

All four trees are now up and decorated and the stockings are hanging on the mantlepiece (only the cat's is full at the moment and he knows it's his as he keeps sitting under it - maybe he can smell the catnip drops!), all necessary presents have been delivered (I needed to get them out the house as I had no cupboard space left!) and all the cards have been dropped in the letterbox.

Now I can just sit back, relax and enjoy the christmas parties!!
