It was Joanne and M's 10th wedding anniversary party last night and Danny and Jamie got all dressed up... it vwas a 20's gangsters and mols fancy dress party and I really struggled with my conciense about buying an outfit that fitted the bill or something I would wear again... I went for wear again and bought some pinstripe trousers and a white blouse...Danny was easy (and cheap) to kit out... the most expensive things being the hat and gun, but Jamie loves the hat so I can see it bei ng worn again...
Jamies dress is an original dress given to my mum by an elderly la\dy that she nursed when I was little, she was a ballet dancer and was married to a Cinema owner... I use to wear the dress when I was Jamies age...
She also had her hair cut short and wasn't keen on it at the time, but once nanny gave it the seal of approval she loves it more than ever.. (she's nannys girl!!)
As sual ...no picture of me... camera shy! ;D
Joanne did a fabulous job decorating the hall.... but we came on early... Danny needed to go to bed and he really dislikes loud disco's... Jamie wanted some tea... and I was feeling a bit rough as my cold is still lingering... plus I could hear the rather loud whisers of "who's that" and the replies of " thats Joannes friend" I was feeling a bit "billy no mates" so I thought its rtime to go! I am not keen on going out and I think I will omit from social gatherings in the future, I love Joanne dearly but I am no longer a party girl... I can't drink any more with out having the most debilitating hangovers and wheres the fun in that... no a cup of Ovaltine, a good film and my crochet and I am sorted!
and the reason for the dodgy tyhping...
something I haven't done since my nightclubbing days...
false nails!
ahhhhh I can't do anything!
I have to get them off... asap!
they were a veryh bad idea....

LOL!!! Oh Alex you make me laugh, I thought the reason you couldn't type was maybe because you' d um had a few nips too many!! And then it just turns out to be your nails!! You're exactly like me though, I'm not a socialite that much anymore either. Sounds like a wonderful party though, and your little ones look adorable!!! I bet they loved dressing up!! Very cute. Have a wonderful day!

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy yourself, I wish you had let me know last night. I to am no longer a party girl but this was a one off special occaision.
Every one else has let us know what a great time they had last night and I feel really upset that you feel that way and really wish you had said something as I consider you a very good friend.

Hiya, no to the sore head as I only had a couple and that was enough for me to chill out. I was really pleased with the effort every one made.
Now we really do have to pull our belts in, well want to really.
Don't forget to follow my new blog.
Hugs Joanne x
Your little ones looked fabulous!
And I agree with chosing something that can be worn again(especially for us non-partiers).
You poor thing, hope you've gotten your nails off. And that cold needs to go too. Thanks for the lovely comment.
Hugs,
Jenn
