December Derby

Our Year End Dysfunction at work has been organised.

Our first clue we received was a carrot with a note attached which said:

Our fun is like a carrot, growing underground

You can see just a little at the top

But 1 December it will pop.

The next clue we got was this one

We got our final invitations yesterdy and its all about a December Derby.

We're going to the Turffontein Race Course.

Derby hats and fancy outfits here we come. Got any ideas?

I do have my eye on a cute Mad Hatters Hat but the shipping from the states is three times more than the price of the hat!!

Survivor Party - The Tribes Partied

I just made it in time to catch the bus to the Homemakers Year End Function.

We arrived to Air Hostesses who'd obiously been in a crash and welcome drinks were Mojitos which were VERY strong and served in our own Survivor tin cup. We had to choose a coloured buff from a box and move to the tables. The tables were done up with black bin liners and the center pieces were a little make-shift fire with crinkled yellow paper for the flames, twigs and surrounded by little pebbles. They even had kebab sticks with marshmallows on the end. They had made a washing line out of plastic bags and hung up old torn clothes, an old shoe, dirty socks and other survivor stuff. In the bathrooms we came across plastic ants, flies, spiders and snakes. They'd thought of everything!

We were divided up in to teams according to the coloured buffs we choose on our arrival, we had to choose a team name and a team war cry cheer. We played some survivor games, handed out awards for the best dressed, best group spirit and best individual party animal, we swam in the pool, ran in the rain and splashed in puddles, drank lots of wine, ate lots of food, danced and generally had a great time!

On leaving, we all got a garden lantern to take home with a Survivor CD attached.
