Snowy Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Any one else had their works christmas party yet? Just got in from ours - what a great night out. Went to the Christmas company marquee in Leicester. Carribean Limbo dancers and acrobats; not too bad food followed by a disco. I haven't danced since before I had the little ones - at least 5 years! My ears are ringing and I'm ever so slightly sozzled Happy Chsirtmas!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted December 6, 2007 Author Share Posted December 6, 2007 Good strong cup of tea and half a pint of orange juice! Children don't let you have a lie in do they? And I'm on a course today so I have to do my homework from last time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeckyBoo Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 How fantastic, it's part of what Chritmas is all about. Hope you didn't do anything embarassing, or photcopy anything you might regret Mrs Bertie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Hope you didn't do anything embarassing, or photcopy anything you might regret And if you did....let's hope none of your colleagues are Omleteers who might post photographic evidence here.

The Dogmother Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Glad you had fun Snowy. We have two Christmas parties - a lunch for just our office in a local gastro pub... ont he 18th, and a big party for all the offices - usually in London; which is a big meal and dancing, B&B paid for too, although we usually stay with my folks.

Charlottechicken Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 That was different Snowy! Glad you had fun! I usually stay away from works do's as we have to pay for and arrange our own. However, this year I've had a change of heart and as Christmas is paid for in my house (so funds are available!) I am going for a meal next week at the Hyatt in Birmingham with a select group of past and present colleagues who are also friends, with outdoor ice skating afterwards (if we can still stand ) and a wander around the German Markets to finish. Then the following week my section will go on a club crawl one afternoon up Broad Street, ending up in a canalside hostelry, or maybe just the canal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Sounds like you had a good time Snowy My work Christmas party is tomorrow. I was looking forward to it until hubby informed me that he needs dropping at Stansted airport by 6am, that'll mean me leaving home at around 5am . The idea of an early start will take the shine off the idea of a late night and one too many to drink Oh, well, these things are often funnier for the sober observer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Any one else had their works christmas party yet? : I'm working hard on the avoidance! I've managed to get out of one last week, although I did have to go to a team member's leaving lunch a couple of weeks ago. There are two more over the next week or so that I've got to avoid one way or another. It is always a relief to get to the 24th without having to poll up and be festive to order!

Egluntyne Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Not exactly work related...but I'm going to my 4th "Christmas Dinner" tonight. (Must remember to Sky+ Strictly!) Works one next week and another with a different dept after Christmas. More Turkey anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 im not going to any works/christmas parties this year. I get quite stressed with chistmas and end up ill every year so I have decided this year to say "no" to all the invitations and do what I want to do (snuggle up and stay at home) instead of going out and pretending to be nice to people who I've never met. Parties for me = stress as I always have to find something to wear = more stress and more expense! Id rather stay at home with OH and dog!
