OH so Pretty!! LOL

What a weekend we had, I have never laughed so much, yet got so much done!!
We started at 6pm on Friday night, found our beds, and set up ready for a full weekend of scrapping!!...on our table were Me, Jackie, Jenny and Heather (sister's) Maree and Monika. Heather adopted me, so now i have the lovliest mother a girl could wish for!! (and i mean that!!).. After settling in i managed to do 6 layouts on Friday night, although it was 5.30 when i finally got to sleep and up again at 7.30 LOL..I won a prize for doing the most layouts in one night (no mean feat, with all the laughing that was happening at our table, that Jackie is a distraction ROFL). we had the customary full retreat photo shoot, i'll put that in when i get it! i walked in and started singing "i feel pretty, oh so pretty, i feel pretty and witty and gay",..only to have everyone on the table join in, then poor Jackie couldn't get it out of her head and she kept breaking into song too...after that came my Demis Rousouss Forever and Ever...the Tess version is much better, Ask Jenny, who choked with laughter and had to leave the room in a dreadful hurry..something about toilet, quickly??? i dont know lol..that was the end of us all...we started to sing snippets of all the sound of music songs, i'm sure we drove everyone mental! we then did a a class with Beverly from BumbleBee..the first person to finish their album completley would win a prize...hehehe i won!!!...i'll take a pic later...a 9x9 MM leather album, a pack of MM products, some melissa francis products and some glitter chipboard flower...very nice..After that, it started...By Saturday afternoon i was feeling the pressure of no sleep, had a migraine starting to happen so thought i'd take a couple of mersyndol and have a hot shower to see if that would work...it did!! too much LOL..lesson to be learnt..do not take 3 mersyndol when your overtired and have had not much to eat!!! yes it's sends you hyper!! (my excuse i am sticking to it!!)....About 10.30 Jackie and Jenny decided we all needed chocolate, coke and crisps..(as if!!) so we stood up to head to the chip machine outside..OH NO..i was paralysed...i tried to move but my leg just wouldn't move..jackie and jenny were in fits...monika was staring at me horrified..heather was worried..i was beginning to panic...I kept telling them, i couldn't move..my leg was stuck..it was paralysed...ok...calm down i thought..i'll sit for a sec to see if it would come right...i sat down..to my mortification...i found out why...my um..chair you see had somehow gotten itself onto the heal of my slipper, as i was moving my leg, the chair stopped it from moving...HOW EMBARRASSING...that was the end of us..we all collapsed laughing and now thewhole room KNEW we were all mad!!!! Finally after much laughing and singing and not a lot of scrapping, Jackie left to go home about 12.30 Jenny, Heather, Monika and I snuck off for hot chocolate, refusing to go to bed until we had sung that great classic from Sound of music..'goodnite, goodnite' only in english, we couldn't remember the other words lol, to everyone as they went to bed!! we finally got to bed about 1.45..i dont even remember lying down, just waking up at 8.30 feeling not so pretty, not so witty and definately NOT gay rofl..we had breakfast and before lunch i had done yet another 6 layouts!! in total i ended up doing 16 god knows how!! lol..Chris turned up to say goodbye to us all, she was moving to Maryborough the next day, so outside we went for a photo shoot with her. lots of tears were shed by me and her when the time came to say goodbye, but i swear it was because i was overtired!!..we came back in and got someone to take some photo's of our mad table..we couldn't even behave for that...all in all it was a fantastic weekend i only hope we haven't scared Monika off for life!!!! lol
