**Next party date!!**
 
  • Saturday 26th January 2008
  • 3 pm onwards
  • Our house
  • Please don't bring food or drink, just yourselves
  • Children welcome
  • We'll BBQ and hopefully have a bouncy castle too :)

Yes it is a special occasion, but it's strictly a no-presents occasion, just a let's-have-some-fun occasion. :)

And if I get banned before then :lol: you know where I live and what my number is. :D And if not, most of the Porirua Posse / Welly mob know where I am.

Please please please try to keep the date free... I'll post more about it later on (if I'm allowed :lol: ).

Heh you've already mentioned it luv. :p :rofl: And I don't really care that it is. Hell I'd rather have a birthday than not have one! Life is worth celebrating. :)

And one of the best photos I've got of my Mum is when she went on a bouncy castle for the first time. At the tender age of, I believe, 63 or so. :thumbup: :D

The bouncy castle would be for the kids anyway. :) Just hope they wouldn't bounce so high they go over the top and over the fence down into next-door's garden - that's quite the drop! :eek:

There you are! :heart: I was going to call you guys soon, kept forgetting bad me! :o

Yep quite a lot of people will be showing up. Phil & friend John will be setting up to play their guitars in the corner of the living room, and colleague is bringing his sax too. :thumbup:

Hey am going to PM everyone who wants to come, but here's what I'm going to say:

Reminder!!

Party at ours on Saturday 26th Jan in Aotea
Time: 3 pm onwards
What to bring: Yourselves, offspring, a plate of food to share, something to drink, and if you want to BBQ something, bring that too. We'll even get a gas bottle (and even fill it up dreamfish! :rofl: ) for the grill. It'll be the first time we use it.

Unfortunately we're not going to do the bouncy castle for a few reasons - funds, weather forecast, safety (the drop into the garden of the people on the terrace below us!) etc.

Phil and his mate John will be playing their guitars in the living room so we're going to move the furniture around a bit.

If it is nice out, chances are we won't have enough chairs for everyone, so do bring lawn chairs if you want. I think we only have 5 or so. :ohmy:

Looking forward to relaxing with our friends and chilling out. :cool:

If anyone has too much to drink, you will be heartily encouraged to stay over! We have 2 sofa beds and a couple of air mattresses, too, with assorted bed linen available, plus some really comfy ;) wood floors to crash out on.

If you need directions, please text me. If you need the number, please ask one of the Porirua Posse for it. I'm more than happy with them sharing it to people coming. :)

Neighbours have been invited too, so hopefully we won't get any noise complaints. ;) Some of my colleagues are coming too, so behave. :p I know it's difficult, but do try. :rofl:
