Its been a manic week since we got back from Dublin with some last minute shopping and various visits, so what a better way to chill out than with some friends in Match Bar on Thursday Night for my leaving drinks from work.

I did manage to make a bit of an entrance by being an hour late for my own bash...... was too busy getting my hair done! Everyone was very well behaved, except for Christy, but I won't talk about that in this public forum ;)

On Friday we went out for a lovely meal with Angie & Steve and bearing in mind we are travelling to China you think we would have opted for something a bit different, but yes you guessed it - we had a Chinese!

Met up with Abbie, Hooper, Joe and Hodgie on Saturday for a Pizza but two hours after we arrived they tell us the ovens have broken...... hahahaha you can't write this stuff! So burger & a beer it was!

Sunday!!! Our last day in London. Debbie & Angie prepared a big family BBQ for us, it had everything, even chips for Sean. YUM! The food was fab (despite Steve cremating the sausages, even if he did try to pass them off as well done) but it was so nice to be surrounded by the family. We had lots of big cuddles with Jaden, he is going to change so much..... just hope he remembers us.

Catherine also popped in for a flying visit and went to see Uncle John & Family for a quick hello.

Action packed few days, time for bed.....big day tomorrow. First day of our next year together travelling the world - SCARY!!!!!!!!!
