D - 26 May 2009 16:5022025Ah yes was great lil "do". Ive now managed to get the selected pictures up on the Open Page now so all can see. Had to leave a good few of the regulars out. I seem to be much slower at doing pictures than I used to be so jeez glad its finished now. Well done to the organising committee. Colette Linda David and Barry WS. Well done to all the visitors who brought a great selection of food and a great selection of drinks. I hadnt been so well fed since...since...well since the night before !!
email: dover7@msn.com - 28 May 2009 16:4422106OK Mandie, I'm intrigued why have you got a sore bum!!!!!!
Really sorry I missed this party guys would have loved to say goodbye to a wonderful family.
Hope they come back and visit soon.
Love Michelle x - 29 May 2009 23:0122203Ah Sheli. I happened to slip on thelast three steps at DH place and to say I have a slightly bruised bum is probably the understatement of the year. The bruise is massive and pretty much every purple,black, and blue and red shade there is
Good news is that I am fine, and today the bruise doesn't hurt, but all those who have seen it think it is a real humdinger of a bruise
Great party though - 30 May 2009 19:2922289Multi-coloured Bum,is there room in the carnival for that,Mandi actually fell in front of me and one other,and was obviously suffering from shock,we kept her sat still for a while until she recovered and had a drink.I think I knew she was ok when she laughed when I said it was a good thing she had a big bum.
David's repair bill for the dent in the wooden stair could be expensive. 
If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble! - Brian Dixon

30 May 2009 20:3222293get some timber of the beach much cheaper. - 31 May 2009 20:4722336A rainbow coloured bum Mandy! I dunno........ what some people get up to these days, tattoos not good enough for you then Seriously though I'm so pleased you're OK, sure was a nasty fall
- 1 June 2009 07:5222358Ah yes we got worried about poor Mandie there for a while as she had a bit of a heavy fall and fell on her softest asset. She looked a bit poorly for a while. The steps down to the tented garden were wet because of the thunderous weather but hopefully Mandie you are recovering well, hope you will have someone to hand to rub some liniment into the black and blue areas. email: dover7@msn.com
- 1 June 2009 08:1122362I am much better thanks peeps. Despite how big the bruise is, I am actually a very quick healer so it has already started to get much better.
I got to be totally honest with ya, I did feel really sick when it happened and felt a bit green around the gills, but the good humour of JG and being with such great company helped me get back to normal (whatever that is) quite quickly - 2 June 2009 21:5822498Dear All
First let me apologise for not making contact sooner but until today i have been disconnected and boy is it painful!!
Very many thanks to Colette, Linda and David for hosting such a terrific party on such a dreadful night. Croc was in his element as the rain poured down, mainly over his shoulders when one bright spark decided to empty the water on the roof of the gazebo without first checking who was underneath.
Paul and Jan were busy taking photos and making notes in the hope that the drink would loosen tongues and that Big David would say something that he would regret in the morning. I must have said plenty but luckily none of it was intelligable or printable.
Mandie provided the entertainment by deciding to show the new dover carnival court the correct method in descending stairs..... BUM FIRST Luckily there was no damage to the staircase.
Guzzler and Humph i have not forgotten and will post the recipe for my galumpki just as soon as we have settled.
It was great to see Keef and Phil in attendance. Posh Barry made a dramatic entrance jus as the champagne toast was being made.... how appropriate.
A real BIG thank you goes to the new dover carnival court girls that braved an horrendous evening in order to say farewell to Marites and Natascha. Well Done girls.
I hope i havent missed anyone out that attended but it really was a super evening.
Arrived in Jersey safe and sound after a 3.5 hr ride on the VomitComet. Just about managed to slide down a couple of drinks (for medicinal purposes) in order to settle my tum.
Natascha had her first day at school on monday and appears to have already made freinds and is attending the school disco on Friday.The weather has been scorching since we arrived and we all look like lobsters (except marites of course).
St. Helier is bustling and a hive of activity, the economic downturn certainly does not appear to have affected the High Street, the pubs or eating houses.
I hope to post some photos as soon as i get time.
Regards to all will post again soon.
