We had the flowers to pick up and the cake, we had to dress the room as best we could and make it look presentable with the gold tablecloths i had made in Pakistan, we had the banner to go up which i paid for and the music to sort out, balloons to blow up and that was just the half.
I took my parents to Lumley castle on the Friday for dinner,it is an exclusive dinner venue set in a real Castle, very expensive but they are worth every penny.
We had a great meal and chatted non stop.
The Saturday was party day and all i can say it was lovely to see everyone under happy circumstances.
The meal was lovely with a menu of:-
Pate
Vegetable Soup
Braised Steak with Veg
Apple Pie with Cream or Ice Cream
Cheese and Biscuits
Coffee/Mints
It was all piping hot and tasted lovely.
Dad's music system using his I-Pod was fantastic and diner music, dancing music was superb.
With the stuff i bought to help out for the party, gifts of £1000.00 and the purchase of their new car it worked out a very expensive weekend of about £16500.00
I also got to see the X factor when i got home on Sunday so did not miss a thing, pleased Scott has been eliminated, he is a moody arse!!
Hope you like the party photographs.
