I hope that you all had a wonderful Valentines day yesterday!
Valentines Day is a bit weird when you are single!!
I don't want to be a kill joy ~ but I cannot deny that for the last few years while I have been single ~ I have hated the build up to Valentines day ~ the hearts ~ the flowers ~ the cuddly flipping toys !! (tee hee!!).
This year was not like that ~ I quite enjoyed looking around for little bits and pieces for Lauren to give to her boyfriend ~ and this year me and my little stars and a group of friends (both single and couples) and their children ~ went to a Valentines party in the hall of the village where we live.
I had so much fun. We all had to bring a plate of food to share and our own drinks ~ there was a disco and they had done the tables out with heart baloons and roses and hearts on the walls ~ it was a really good night. There was a mix of yound and old ~ single and couples and children ~ it was fun for all!!
There was a quiz and games for the adults and children. Daniel and Lauren had so much fun that they didn't want to go home ~ but I decided that 11pm was late enough ( please note that they usually go to bed at 8pm ~ but as a special treat were allowed up later!!) ~ especially as we had to get up for Dans judo this morning!!!
I had a slightly sore head this morning ~ which I blame totally on the loud music and NOT the alcohol that I drank ha ha !! I didn't drink much at all ~ just a few Pims and lemonades ~ but having not drunk at all since I started on this diet last May ~ that was all it took !! I was far from drunk ~ just happy !!
I still have to get the camera sorted out and post the pictures of Lauren with her Valentines gifts ~ she was so sweet and took the little teddy to bed with her last night ~

It is half term next week ~ so I am just preparing myself for a busy week ahead.
At least there are no uniforms to iron and no lunches to make ~ and best of all no school runs to do YAY!!!!

Lauren has a boyfriend??? Have I been away that long???
I'm slowly returning to blogland. Thank's so much for your sweet comments.
Congratulations on the weight loss. I'm so proud of you!!
Love,
Tania
That sounds like a great night :-)
I'm glad you had a great Valentine's Day spending it with your two sweethearts!
One glass of wine is usually enough to get me half cut ~ I'm such a light weight when it comes to booze these days!
Enjoy the break from the routine for the next week ~ our schools go back on Tuesday! Woo-Hooo!!!
Love,

Valentines after so many years with my Hubby is just another day.
We don't even remember half the time till after!! lol!
I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's day! It sure does sound like you did!
I bet Dan and Lauren were just elated to be able to stay up until 11pm!! It must have been a BIG DEAL to them!! Haha

oh, tabitha, it sounds like you had great fun!!! i'm so delighted for you:) you are right when you say that after a lengthy respite from alcohol, it doesn't take much, ha!!! i hope your head is all better today and that you and ALL the children are having fun and enjoying the break:D
love,

Glad you had a good night. We just sat around eating chocolates. I think I gained 5 pounds this weekend.
Hi Tabitha!
Sounds like Valentine's Day was fun!!
We don't do anything special here. Just a few cards exchanged with the kids and parents. We're trying to pay off bills from Christmas and birhday parties so we can go on vacation this summer. That's more important to me than Valentine's Day. I think if you're young and in love like Lauren :-) then it's a significant day but to the rest of us, it's just another day. Hallmark created this holiday to make a ton of cash. So hurray for them! :-)
Hope you enjoy your week off.
Much love from NJ,
Sue
