I know i have brought my most of my christmas pressies early, but that is too save money, and not have to buy everything in one wage packet.
We have had out christmas decorations up at work now for a couple of weeks. Most town centre's have their christmas light up.
At work when we want a staff night out, we have to get cover from another store. Tonight was the only night we could do it, so on the 20th November we had out christmas staff night out. We had won some vouchers in a incentive at work so with the £5 deposit we each put down, we had £150 to spend on our christmas meal and drinks. It was shared between 9 of us as two members of staff were unable to make it. This meant we had a lovely three course meal and managed to consume lots of wine. yum
We then headed into Walsall town centre and into one of the bars. After numerous shots were drank, we all had to show our party piece. Siobhan can put both feet behind her head to the delight and amazement of the male staff present. Craig rather attractively threw up after drinking a shot which he thought was tequila and i, with a couple of tissues as pom poms shared a couple of chearleading moves. In my slimmer days i was believe it or not a chearleader for an American football team which was based in the Midlands. I still have my pom pom in the loft and some of my outfit that i used to have to wear most weekends :-D
We then moved onto a night club. Some of the bouncers are members of our shop. so we were able to get in free. Its a thursday night and the town centre was absolutly packed. The nightclub was no exception. After one drink and a rather lovely chat with a guy named Daniel my boss and myself left the rest of them to it and we got a lift home from her husband. Im glad i went to the nightclub as it confirmed for me why i am so glad that i dont go clubbing anymore. It was too busy, the drinks were expensive, i couldnt hear what anyone was saying, it was too hot and now my feet really hurt as i was wearing my heals. I finally got home about 1.30am ish and got straight into my pjs :-)
Dont get me wrong i love a good night out, but if im going into town i would rather sit in a nice pub, round a table, chatting and having a nice meal with friends. Maybe im just getting older :-)
