5 party's in 4 days!!

Party No 1 was on Wednesday evening. This was actually a "Freebie" night out that I had bagsyd for hubby and I and also 2 friends. Our Local Business Link has on its website loads of "events" that it holds throughout the year. This event was listed as an "Inspirational talk by Wayne Hemingway" (he of Red or Dead fame). I thought it was worth a shot, so we booked 4 free of charge places. The event was held on the top 3 floors of the Q Car Park (the cheese grater one I showed you in an earlier post and if I may say so, a fantastic party venue!). It turns out that they had won several awards for design and safety etc. We arrived to discover (much to hubby's delight) that the evening had a "supercar" theme and they had around 12 super cars all parked up for those interested to sit in and rev!! Canapes (delish!) and free drinks (as many as you like!) were served. Canapes and drinks were served to ladies by topless male models. This is how I want all my food and drink serving to me in future!!!

There was also a 6 lane Scaletrix race set to play on.

The talk by Wayne Hemminway was really funny, and also very thought provoking. He talked about how he and his wife set up (or accidently fell into setting up) Red or Dead back in the 1980's. He also spoke about how design affects our living and city centres and how most planners have got it wrong. From the roof of the car park you get a great view of the city and you can see how it is surrounded by green - hills, trees and very open spaces.

After the talk, there was a buffet by Nonna's caterers. Nonna's is a great Italian restaurant in the posh bit of Sheffield, so this was a fantastic treat as it is normally out of my price range!. Free drinks flowed all evening - until it eventually ran out!! There was also a fashion show, showcasing Sheffield talent - excellent and the blokes got to watch the football match on a large screen. There was music and a DJ and space heaters when it got colder. We all got a goody bags containing free car parking tickets till the end of October and Hair care products - and the obligitory Business Link pens. All in all a superb freeby evening out!!

Party 2 was of course my birthday on Thursday.

Party 3 was the wedding of 2 friends. I loved the dessert. The profiterloes were HUGE and the chocolate sauce divine. The writing on the plate was in chocolate!!

Party 4 is this evening. My friend is holding a "Last Night of the Proms" party. Don't you just love my outfit? No?? Destined to be cut up into a cushion cover I think!

Party 5 I have had to decline as this is also being held this evening.

Tomorrow I am having a nice night in!!
