This was defo the mood I was in yesterday morning. Let me first apologies for the missing blog yesterday. It was only when I was on route to the party that I realised that I had been so busy throughout the day that I hadn't written the blog. So here is an extra long blog which will fill in the last couple of days.
Yesterday morning I was involved in a re examination of an exclusion case I had sat on at the beginning of January. It was an appeal to have the decision we made that day over turned. After 1 and 1/2 hours we concluded that the decision we made in January was legal, just and fair, so our decision still stands.
After that I headed off to wish the mother unit a happy birthday before heading down to the venue with my sister sue to set up for the party, Sarah joined us but it still take over 2 hours to get everything right.
Then it was a quick visit to my hairdresser to make my hair presentable and then home in time to welcome Ben Nikki and my grandchildren who were staying in the Princess Tower over night. Once we were all ready we headed off to the Cricket Club and the fun began.
we took the opportunity to capture a few family photos that are so difficult when people are spread out over the whole country. Particularly lovely were the pictures with the mother unit which where taken with her grandchildren and then her great grand children. Then some one had the idea of getting everyone who attended the event to pose for one huge picture, The last picture of this group is a picture of the cousins on the Bainbridge side of the family.
Mum thoroughly enjoyed the evening and received lots of cards and present even though she had requested no gifts. So all in all I think it was a great party.
Today I am on duty again baby sitting Dave the labrador. Sarah and Lee and the kids have gone down to Manchester for an over night stay.
They are taking the boys to the I'm a celebrty themed fun park as a surprise. They will be back sometime tomorrow.
In the meantime I have moved the dog into the Jungalow and I have to say he as spent all afternoon in his crate because he doesn't like the textural feel of my floor on his paws haha.
Hopefully he will chance walking on it when he needs a wee or when he is hungry. So that has been my weekend thus far so it is defo - PHEWWW and breath.
