On arrival, I was immediately greeted by eight of my nearest & dearest, along with a glass of champagne, 20 white roses and a glamorous pink cake:
Sarah - my bestest & Chiefy - then handed me my 'costume' for the evening - a glamorous 1950s dress, and the ladies joined me in getting glammed up for the occasion:
We then cruised into town in style...in a 'big taxi':
It was excellent to be reunited with my uni buddies, Clare and Rach. I was particularly in awe of Rach who is 4 1/2 months pregnant and was 'game on' all evening. She even braved going backwards in a limo (a bold move!):
Next stop...Pillar, a restaurant & club in Staffordshire. It's was a fun place and we had a private section all to ourselves, in which the conversation & champagne flowed. Mum can be commended for fighting off the flirty waiter, and Clare for offering to 'sell his story' to the media:
We finished by dancing the night away in Red, the club attached to the restaurant. We all noted how the general population in Staffordshire is noticeably smaller than London (bizarre).
Sunday was equally epic. After a lazy morning we hit a local spa and enjoyed the sauna, streamroom, jacuzzi, pool & massage treatments. Kat & Gabby impressed us by going to the gym. Sarah, Holly and I watched.
The weekend finished with afternoon tea and cakes.
A crazy rollercoaster of a weekend that I'll remember forever. Thank you Sarah Spain for organizing it from start to finish, and thank you to the ladies for travelling from London, Leeds, Manchester, Surrey and Buckinghamshire, to celebrate it with me.
Also thank you to my Twinling, Stevo, for the surprise visit and Dad, for putting up with a house packed with hens!
