Well the Melbourne branch chrissy party was pretty good. i did have fun though there was a mix-up with the three course meal; we only got the two courses and even then they were quite small servings. a bit of ham, turkey and literally one slice of each vegetable and one flower (without the stem) of broccoli. But yep had a great time catching up and chatting and laughing with everyone.
We caught a very short (we didn't know how short) cab ride from camberwell station to the hotel, so we walked back to the station afterwoods with a sightie who showed us to Aubon.
During the meal Dad had called me and asked if I wanted to go there for his spaghetti for tea so I did that. it was wonderful and everyone was in such a good mood; it felt really nice! .. And As per tradition lately, being a fortnight before chrissy, I was in the loundge feeling all the presents under the tree, and then Mum, in her cheerful mood asks "do you want to feel your main present"? I am like "ah OK" so beside the tree was a big wrapped box. When I say big, I mean about up to the top of my thys when I stood up! I just ghasped and am like "what on earth is in there?" I got such a surprise because usually I kinda spoil it for myself by being able to work out what's in my parcels before hand, and/or telling Mum what I want for chrissy! .. but I absolutely was surprised that they could still surprise me with this. I asked if it was a leather chair (as they said they would still get me that) but they said "no it's not" which works cos this new chair from Dad's work is quite comfortable. So I'm like smiling away saying to Mum (who then told dad in the kitchen) "I am sooo curious now. would I like it?" Lol hahaha! so that will get me all curious now til chrissy day which I guess is a good thing? :) hahaha!
