The Ball was lovely, and I DID fit into my dress eventually (Jill from Curves told me to go bra-less or try a different bra, and it WORKED! Maybe am not fat after all...)! The place was very pretty and posh (especially the loos!), and there was a chocolate fountain, and a bar which I spent FAR too much money at... Me and Rachael had the same shoes, but everyone was too drunk to notice, so this did NOT matter. Did a lot of dancing (and as was wearing heels, KILLED my feet, and had to take them off afterwards and walked BAREFOOT all the way up the Banbury road, drunk, to catch a bus into Oxford. SO sophisticated. Sam looked v. gorgeous and lovely in his suit. There was lots of (drunken) dancing to Abba, and various other COOL music. Everyone got together, and everyone had a good time, and everyone got into the group photo which STILL hasn't come through the post.
Had a good weekend; went to the pub Friday for a meal, then got elegantly pissed afterwards (elegant in the sense that I didn't show anyone my bra and I didn't start crying and asking everyone if they think I'm fat...), then Saturday was Sam's birthday, and I made him a cake and bought him London eye tickets, and spent the day with him.
I'm off school until next week now, as there is a week of fun educational activities for the lower school in which all the teachers are involved, so all sixth form lessons are cancelled. Had a girlie SKINS party last night with series 2 and lots of chocolate buttons, and have been out to lunch (another girlie outing) today and sat in a really cute, cosy cafe in Abingdon all afternoon eating mash potato and drinking tea, watching the rain come down and the floods come up, through the window. Am going to make the most of being off school, and possibly sleep all day tomorrow. This will be V. good for the diet, as if I am asleep I cannot eat, and I will have lots of energy in reserve for when I hit the gym after work! x
