Mum’s Birthday Celebration Meal with us

Decent day today actually, Jack had football in the morning and played against Dagenham & Redbridge – they were a decent side and it was a competitive match. Jack played really well at left back and I enjoyed watching him play. The lads did well and they won in the end, 3-2 it was in the end, very good game.

Had some food afterwards and then went home, Tash, Me and Lewis walked down to the Perch and had a pint and walked home again and relaxed as we were going out in the evening for Mum’s birthday.

Drove down to Tash’s work and left the car there for the night, and made our way to the pub that used to be The Living Room – never remember what it’s called now. Everyone was there already and we were planning to get drinks and then within 10 minutes the bouncer is over saying that u18’s can’t be in there after 7.00pm. We didn’t make a fuss but Tash took him and Peter and his girlfriend (as she didn’t have ID) to Malmaison and then to Prezzo to wait for us. We finished our drinks and then went next door and got on with celebrating Mum’s birthday all together.

I was sat with Louise and Molly and it was nice and good to see her and catch up with things. Molly seems to be happy with her University and Psychology course. Meal was good as usual and Mum enjoyed herself as you would hope and expect. When the meal finished I went and sat down the other end of the table and chatted (or more to the point) listened to the boys chatting, Peter didn’t stop talking, it was really nice and he and Luke have both grown up as good lads. Their girlfriends appeared nice as well, Lily and Maddy, Lily was very quiet but Maddy, who is a drama student, was very outgoing and good fun – as you would expect from a drama student!

At the end of the night we didn’t want to risk going anywhere new so we managed to get another drink out of the place before finishing the evening, Louise had booked a taxi for them all and we persuaded Jack to go with them and they dropped him off. Me, Tash and Lewis decided to stay out for a bit longer and ended up walking to Hanks. That was a bit of an experience, Tash was drunk and had a go at me about something, I can’t even remember what it was that she was angry about but it was interesting for Lewis to see her turn on me like that. I didn’t take too much notice and she was alright once it passed.

We stayed for a couple of drinks and it was good fun, we then got a kebab and a taxi home – a late night and we were all a bit pissed!

It was nice for Mum and she really enjoyed it so that was pleasing.
