I was off work on Friday 13th May - which is a good job as I had loads to do! I chopped up a ton of chicken breasts and made 3 separate marinades - BBQ, Lemon and Herb and Satay - and cooked squares of chicken breast - then I made an egg and bacon pie. I had other food for the party too - pork pies, peperami, 2 subway platters, 2 cakes, cheeses and biscuits and nachos and dipping sauces....cant remember what else! but I was worried that there wouldn't be enough food - and worried that it wouldn't all fit into the car! We all had out overnight clothes and bags and our fancy dress costumes too! We wanted to head out about 5pm and left at 6.30!
Me and Andy, Lissa, Connor and their friend Emma and all the gear just about fit in the car with some serious organised packing followed by some seriously squashing and pushing and made fairly good time to Manchester - we would have made excellent time there if it wasn't for the deter we had to make when we were 20 minutes away. In typical Manchester style the road signs for the detour were awful and we ended up driving back down the motorway the way we had just come...anyway we eventually got to my mums at about 11pm. The kids were staying in my mums caravan and we were staying at Bevs.
I cant remember what time we got to Bevs but it was late and Bev was obviously tired. However once we got talking we were up until 3am!!
I fell into bed worrying that the party was the next day and I wasn't getting enough sleep!!
