Too true! The bottle of JD I won at the works raffle is gone! Lol.
My preparing was drinking that. If I get time for a shower I will. Hahaha!

halfway throughout hipflask now and still not nearly drunk enough....
the magician looked like Graeme Norton in the '90s and the food looked like photographs of food.
more booze...

Ours was just a 'show our face' kinda thing, though Anne did enjoy the Jamaican 'Rice and Peas' and Mutton curry.
Music varied between 80's disco, reggae and Bhangra.
On the way home we popped into Tesco and did our Christmas shopping including the Turkey lol.

Spent the night soldering together an Xbee breakout board and thinking about possibly buying some Christmas presents.
Didn't fancy the works do this year :/ (on account of all the attendees being teenagers out clubbing in Birmingham)

Home now.
the magician left us alone and a caricature artist did a portrait of Me and the missus which I'll post in a bit.
I managed to get a bit pist and make some naughty balloon statues and an "irritation grenade" (large balloon with a whistle inside, rolled under a table that screamed for about 5 minutes) Other than that, I behaved myself quite well. ;)

Good night though, compliance officer even bought me 2 double JD's!
