Housewarming Memories


Putting up the gazebo minutes before a heavy downpour
Sarah running in to tell me that there was a bee in the garden
Dans green socks
Graham pinging his cake all over the floor
The name the Orang-utan challenge, and the winner is *fanfare* ‘Bonsai’, runners up included: ‘Gorgonzola the Terrible, Petey, Malcom and Big Wally’
Introducing Rachel to all the people she used to collect dinner money from at woodside
Another delicious giant Oreo cookie cake!
Rob trying to get the giant jelly baby out of the mould, then forgetting to get him out of the fridge – it was however one of the only things I remembered to take a photo of that day…
Guided tours of the house, running up and down the stairs
No shoes!!
Donna’s amazing chocolate cupcakes
Not having a bottle opener…
Trying to persuade Sarah that there are definitely fish in the pond!!
Fletcher going deaf in one ear
Dad telling mum all about his latest divorce settlement
The mayhem of cooking the pizzas – with supervision by Lucy and charlotte, unfortunately when handing it out by the time I got to Jamie there wasn’t any left…
Me giving up with the cheese and pineapple due to crumbly cheese-rob taking over whilst tutting and giving me dirty looks
The AMAZING asda sausage rolls which were gone in a flash (50 for 99p!!)
Wendy the chatterbox chewing Kathy and Danny’s ears off
Asking if everyone is ok in the garden- then realizing I couldn’t see anyone because it was pitch black
Fairylights with the added surprise of Christmas music
Not realizing I had to switch the solar lights on…
Children’s faces when they entered the room full of Mr Potato Heads
Jenny trying to suppress giggles whenever ‘Wally’ was mentioned
Offering Lucy Ham and Pineapple pizza as the vegetarian option…
Graham giving me gardening tips at in the morning
Kathy looking through Jays clothes to see if he had ironed anything
Trying to persuade Sandra to climb the huge tree at the bottom of the garden
Reassuring Rachel that the frogs would not jump out of the pond and get her
Several people enquiring about the mysterious disappearance of the bonking pigs
Supergnome taking centre stage by the pond
The neighbours enquiring into a dvd boxset exchange
People coming and going all day, but Charlotte & Lucy stayed for the duration and Jenny came round twice
Claire’s one big bottle of beer

Feeling happy and proud to show our friends our house and what we’ve achieved
