Coral's housewarming and Jules' visit

Charlie's Angels Reunited...

Hello Charlie!

This is the story of three little girls, who used to all work together as Admin Assistants in the mid 90's...Celia (left) Jules (middle) and Shirley (right). Jules moved back to Torquay in Devon (sob sob) in 1998 and escaped the evils of the Civil Service...Shirls left too and is now a retail service Manager on Virgin Trains. I stayed in the Civil Service and became an Executive Officer (manager to you and me lol).

Shirls and Jules xx

Although Jules lives over 3oo miles away, we still keep in touch. Jules, her sister Josie and her mum Rose, passed through Blackpool on their way to undertake a mission in Scotland...tracking down their family tree. It's really REALLY interesting, and Jules, PLEASE make up a Blog so I can read it and put a link to it! It's a really romantic and dramatic story involving her great-grandfather marrying a maid, getting disinherited because of marrying below his station for love and not money...It's wicked stuff and Jules has managed to get back to 1760. Watch this space for the link!!Josie, Dr Evil and Jules

The pictures are of Saturday night, when Jules, Josie, Darren and I went to Coral's housewarming party. It was brilliant. Full of laughter, fun, music and meeting the neighbours and catching up with old friends. It was amusing when the police knocked on the door around 11.30 asking us to quieten down abit...we asked who had complained and the police replied "the neighbours". Coral asked "which ones because they're all in here!"

Shirls kept on being given champagne and was rather tipsy...at one point she thrust her bottle of champers at me and said "I've had enuff- I'm going to bed" and went to sleep in Coral's bed! D was Dj'ing and mixing with old buddies, and bless him he looked after Andrea when she was sick in the backgarden...

Jules & Josie did some DJ'ing before going into the front room where there was a keyboard, and started playing along with Coral's friend Gary, who could actually play the piano! We joined in on a group sing-a-long, lead by a cracking 77 year old lady who was keeping up with us all! I believe a guitar was in there too, but I didn't get a chance to get my paws on it...

Steve, James' oldest friend (mates since they were 10 bless 'em and one of the few allowed to call him Jim) staggered off around 2.30, starting a four mile walk holding a glass of Jack Daniels and coke with slices of lime, lemon, banana and a strawberry in it.

Gill and James-Shirls' other half

We left around 3.30 rather inebriated (although apparently they carried on until 6 doing karaoke)...we got to bed as the birds were singing at 4.30- but not before Jules was played her Jesus Jones!! A rather excellent night overall, which was made even better by finding that Josie enjoyed singing along with me to Eurovision Song Contest songs- following the words in a karaoke fashion on the screen lol !
