So I had been chatting to Andy about getting her pressies delivered and sending wrapping paper for him to wrap it up and make it feel like proper presents. He had some so was happy to do this which I’m so grateful for cos it’s rubbish when it’s just an amazon box!
I told the brothers about 2 weeks in advance to get their pressies sorted cos of the long delivery times. This year was the first year I didn’t just sort it out cos I thought.. you’re at home with nothing to do. There’s no excuse!
Well.. Adam didn’t even manage to send a card. Really pisses me off... Connor and Emily actually went and surprised her at house but they went through the side and straight into the garden (from 2 meters apart as these are the rules, you can meet people outside as long as you keep your distance).
So they got her gifts and obviously seeing them would have been awesome! I was so jealous I wasn’t there but for us it’s a good 3 hour journey.
Anyway so Andy had planned that we do a surprise video call on the Saturday evening and we all do a round or 2 each of a quiz. So we had been preparing this over the next week or so.
That evening we got on the call, myself Ant, brothers & their other halves and then my aunty Helen and uncle Paul who are mum and andy best mates.
I text mum to come on the call so I could sing her happy birthday and she couldn’t get on. She was really pissed as well - she’d actually sent me a video of her singing on WhatsApp and I showed the guys on the video a bit of it. Didn’t realise this would bite me in the ass later when she found out and shared a really flattering picture of me I’d sent her!
Anyway she finally came and on and we sang happy birthday to her (badly) and all chatted away.
Mum was really drunk and I found this hilarious! I said to her the next day I’ve never seen you so smashed and she probably quite rightly said that I had I’d just been smashed too!
The quiz was really fun even though mine and Ants round I was really excited about failed cos no-one could hear it and drunk people are aggressive man!
Obviously Erika and I were sober and you really notice it when everyone’s pissed. I kept getting shouted at and moaned at to hurry up or I’ve not sent the videos through etc! Anyway I tried not to get stressed and realised later than it happened to everyone haha, nothing personal!
Anyway the games were fun and everyone had such a good laugh. Me and mum ended up signing Wham for everyone. Which was hilarious cos everyone just sat and listened, no1 even stopped us even though we were shouting/singing. It was so funny.
Andy’s round was funny and he was telling people the shut up every time he asked a question calling them mother fckers hahah.. there were many rude jokes and gestures.. Helen and Paul won and they were super happy about this! My mum and Helen are so competitive it makes me laugh!
Oh Adam and Erika did a round where you had to run around the house and find the objects they were referring to in a riddle. That was good, me and Antony started off strong but then Connor and Emily won cos they live in a flat. Mum and Andy had no chance in their mansion..
We stayed up till about 1130 which is so late for me and Erika! I was shattered he next day and everyone else hanging.
But I had such a good time, I actually felt like I’d had a night out. Which of course no-ones had in over 2 months!
Here’s some pics from the night. I really hope mum had a good time. In fact I think she wrote about it on her blog: https://gettingoldandlumpy.blogspot.com/?m=1 should give hers a read it’s much more interesting than mine!
