I survived my hen do. A ridiculous amount of dodgy cocktails, beer and German wine later I've dragged my sorry behind back to the office. I got off fairly lightly on the tacky factor - a plastic tiara and a flashing L plate, well I guess it was par for the course. Explaining endlessly what an L plate is and how it's relevant to getting married was interesting, considering my pigeon German (I can ask for 8 beers fluently now though).
Credit where credit is due though, my chief bridesmaid did us proud and we stayed in the most amazing hotel. I'd like to say we planned lots of cultural activities, but we stumbled upon them rather than actively arranged them. That said, it turns out it was the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome which established the EU so there was plenty going on. The huge stage with a mixture of excrutiating EuroPop blaring wasn't that welcome on Sunday morning with delicate heads all round.
As suggested by Simon Collister I did indeed end up in Ambulance (the bar, not the vehicle) although by that time we'd already had significant amounts of cocktails (I don't recommend them, they're horribly strong) and had accidentally ended up in an S&M gay bar (we made a sharp exit). Ambulance serve the strongest gin and tonics known to mankind and that was the death of me. I started the day with my first G&T at 5.30am in Stanstead and it was a fitting end to finish it with another G&T at 3am.
Just over five weeks to the wedding. Better let my liver recover.
Hope you had a good time! Head over to my blog for a look at a wedding pick from Saturday!

I recently came across your blog and have been reading about ambulance equipment. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
