Tuesday was our department Christmas lunch, it was also Secret Santa day. Or should that be 'Secret Santa for now but we will work out who bought what by the end of lunch day'. I received a book of horror stories, bookmarks and a handmade necklace (black heart, black cord, silver fittings), I was very pleased.
Friday night was our office Christmas Party. We held it at the Village Hotel, it was a Willy Wonka themed event, we entered the room by crossing a bridge over a chocolate river, the compere was dressed as Willy Wonka (the Gene Wilder version, not Johnny Depp) and some of the servers were dressed as Oompa Loompas.
There was a quiz to take part in, on the screens (which were showing Charlie and The Chocolate Factory on continuous loop) a question was flashed up at regular intervals, mostly about identifying different sweets and biscuits. And we won! The prize was a bottle of perry, so a round of brandies later and we were all drinking, for intents and purposes, brandy and babycham.
After the meal we moved back out into the bar area where the disco was set up, I have no idea what time we left!
I had treated myself to an Upper Deck room and paid for a snack pack. The bed was so comfortable I wasnted to bring it home with me.
I discovered once I had got back to my room that I had lost my phone. I contacted reception the next morning and it had been handed in, so thank you to whoever did that.
Saturday morning I was a little worse for wear to say the least, but the Full English Breakfast and jug of coffee helped!
I am not looking forward to weigh in on Tuesday.
