27th January 2013: thank you and goodnight.

Last night was crazy!! The prep went really well and the hall looked amazing when we'd set it up. We were going fine until people started to turn up, and one of the waitresses decided to tip a few champagne glasses over... No names being mentioned, and surprisingly it wasn't me... So whilst we  were cleaning up that, a certain person then decided to spill the bucket of water, at the entrance, so we cleared that up, and we were off!!
The starter was  salmon on rocket with buttered brown bread and a slice of lemon. The vegetarian option was  mushroom pate with rocket and brown bread too. We then did a entry ticket draw, with the prize being Thornton's chocolates. Onto the main, the kitchen was 'heated' to say the least... Beef Bourguinonne with mash, beans, broccoli and carrots, and for the vegetarian option, a roast pepper cheesecake with the same veg. The guests then played heads and tails, winning after eights.Whilst this was happening, we were prepping the dessert, I thought it would be a great idea to turn the whisk on and whipped  cream went everywhere... The dessert was lemon tart, fruit compote and whipped cream. Skylarks then did a half  hour set, which was great! Me and 2 others then went up the front and got asked questions and we then had to answer them... Skylarks then did a second set, with some great covers, including Pencil Full of Lead. They then sang Happy Birthday, for one of the guests and then the goodbye's. Full of compliments, and lovely comments :D Then the tidying began... The guests left at around 10.45 and I got home at 1.45ish considering the venue's only 10 minutes away... Yes, we were that for that long!!
Today I was in bed until 12.15, I  was tired, and coudn't move my legs. I had leftover pizza for lunch, and didn't do much for the rest of the ay, I went with my Mum to drop some things back to my grandparents house from last night, we drove past the cemetry near their house and I saw the sunset, and I decided it was the perfect photo for today, pretty chill and a beautiful view, yeah it sounds cheesy, but today has been chill and all I've had is more compliments about last night, and a great sense of achievement. Obviously I wouldn't have been able to have done it all on my own, so thank you to my family, Phil, Sue, Debs, Skylarks, Lailana, Rosie, Hannah and Sophie, and of course everyone for coming!
