It got off with a bang on the Friday. We met up in the pub at 11am and got on our coach at 2pm. Our destination- Buxton in Derbyshire. In the middle of nowhere with nothing but an abundance of sheep and a few horses. To be fair, there's something about the country air that gets rid of your hangover in a flash, apart from the smell of manure which makes the bile come out of nowhere. Friday night, with the excitement of us all being together in a country lodge we went a bit mad. The 50 bottles of wine and 2 of every spirit you can think of was calling us and before you know it, we'd hit it hard. We woke the next morning to a mountain of empty bottles fearing we'd drunk the whole weekend's rations. The food situation wasn't looking too great either. A lot of us had unknowingly got the munchies...really bad and we had consumed about 30 bags of crisps between us- not the diddy packs which have nothing in them but the family packs.
Saturday, we had a host of games prepared including dodgeball with water bombs, volleyball, football and rounders. Unfortunately, the rain came but in teh true spirit of trying to get rid of a raging hangover, we ploughed on thinking the rain and wind whipping across our faces was only doing us good. It passed though and we had lots of fun.
Saturday afternoon, Claire had planned an afternoon of pampering and complete with pressies (pink flannels with our names on, nail varnishes, face packs, leg gels, nail cream, nail stickers) we spent the afternoon pampering each other and generally being really girlie. We had more pressies to open- a pair of brightly coloured board shorts which we were all to wear to the party starting at 8pm.
At 8pm the party started. The buffet was flowing, the wine was flowing and the naughty bits were flowing. Hang on a sec, yes you did read that right. Naughty bits, a plenty! Three naked butlers and 28 girls was bound to be a bad combination. Throwing a hot tub into the mix was even worse. We were assured they don't get naked very often but I saw enough naked man that night to last me a lifetime. There are things that I've seen and heard that I never thought I'd see and hear. I did befriend an inflatable turtle which kept me company all night long with a bottle of wine which was glued to my hands...good times. Being a hen party, what went on in that cottage stays in that cottage so that's all I'm going to say. The journey home wasn't pleasant, we were all tired and hungover. Luckily, I had booked the Monday off work to chill out and a definite chill out was needed. What I did take away with me that weekend, besides all the pressies, was a lifetime of memories and a weekend which was much needed to forget about the mundane things like work and so on. I'm just sitting back and waiting for the facebook pics to come flooding in! In the meantime, here's a sneaky peek! Cover your eyes mother!
