Weekend Fun, and Only 9 Days Until I'm Married!

Hey everyone! I hope you are all OK. Thought I would tell you about my awesome weekend. My big sister @dorypanda booked an escape room for four of us (the other two people were my nephew's girlfriend (I'll call her AM) and my sister's mother-in-law to whom I shall refer as P). The reason for the escape room was for part of my hen do (at least, that's the excuse Dory used! ). We did a room called 'Worlds Collide', which is a Doctor Who themed room. P had not been to an escape room before but the rest of us had done other ones. The room was awesome. We worked very well as a team, finishing the room with almost 8 minutes to spare. We had the best time of the day, and were even good enough to make the monthly leader board! Our team name (which I chose) was 'Jammy Dodgers' After the escape room, I treated everyone to ice-cream. We then went to Pret-A-Mange for lunch. That was OK. Afterwards, AM and P went home while Dory and I went for a cocktail before seeing a show at a local theatre. We went to see 'Anything for Love - the Meatloaf Story' by Steve Steinman, with special guest star Lorraine Crosby. We had an excellent night, with drinks and music, and had a few pictures taken with the cast afterwards. I was quite tired yesterday but, at least, I could have a lie in! Yesterday, I just spent the day mostly watching 'Blacklist' with my other half in between odd jobs. It is now only 9 days until I get married so I am quite excited about that! I'm sure I'll be back to tell you all about it!

Only 9 days left! How exciting! Is a "hen-do" like a bachelorette party or is it just a lady get-together? Sounds like you had a ton of fun! Try and stop by more often. We miss you!

Yes, a hen party is the same as a bachelorette party traditionally. My hen, however, was not so much about drinking and partying as it's not my thing. The escape room was much more fun! I'm doing one more thing before the wedding but that's just going for a meal with the family ladies (well, most of them). I will try to be here more often. I was for a while and then I got caught up in real life

Thank you. I'm obviously looking forward to my wedding day and being married but I'm also looking forward to spending time with our children and grandchildren.

Yeah, Dory is OK for a sister It is a shame your sister isn't so awesome. I mean, she'd never do fun things or take you anywhere nice...
