Ready, steady......

....go! Yes it starts tonight, the first of the many Christmas functions that litter the end of the year. Thinking about all the ones I've enjoyed (and endured!!!) over the past 20 years, well that's a whole different post - if I mention 6 hours trapped on the Kookaburra Queen, the Brisbane girls will know exactly what I mean!!

I have to admit that I'll seriously need to rev myself up today, if I'm to get into the Christmas spirit as everyone will expect. Tonight its one of our largest client groups & they are always very noisy & good fun, so Millie girl, drag out the sassy party shoes, put your happy face on, shoulders back, glass ready & lets pop the first cork of the Festive Season!

    The only Christmas party I am ever invited to is my husbands employer's party. He works for the funeral home. Very interesting witnessing a room of mortians getting drunk and then talking about "remember when we...." I would rather not be there either. Have a great weekend Millie. Heidi

    There's a blast from the past, the good 'ole Kookaburra Queen. It has been a while. Hope you have a fantastic time at tonight's party dancing away in your pretty shoes.

    I hope it was a fun evening Millie.
    Your comment on French Essence about your boys and "Piccadilly" made me really laugh this morning - my children are exactly the same. ( why do children always think their mothers are so thick!) xv
