Murder Mystery - Till Death Do Us Part

Justine's, First BBQ of the Season

Quick rundown of the first couple of weeks In September, we have been busy socialising and also very buys packing ready for the move, we are now on countdown with only 7 days to go till the big day.

In between working and packing, I have had lunch with Peppa, Diane, Kerrie and Lesley at Pep’s house, I then did lunch at Peppa’s house for Lesley, Kerrie, Peppa and me. We also had a murder mystery night at Peppa and Owen’s house which was hilarious and another one is in order when we have moved, it was such a laugh. The Sunday after the party was really pleasant weather wise so we walked with Buster to Peppa and Owen’s to pick up the car and agreed to have a BBQ the following Sunday at their house. Jason and I then had a drive out to Red Hill and had a coffee and sandwich, then back home to get ready for Monday and back to school. As it was also father’s day we took the kids into Mornington to Sun and Mei for Chinese, it was delicious.

On the Monday I didn’t work and had made arrangements to meet Claire in Mornington for lunch, it was lovely we sat outside in the sun and had a good catch up, it has been ages since I last saw her. I then worked Tue, Wed and Thur, all long shifts 7.00 till 3.15, I was shattered by the time we got to Friday it has to be said.

Friday was great, Lesley took me for lunch having won $88.00 on the lottery, we went to Harba and again sat in the sun, it was lovely, I was a good girl and just had half a glass of wine, Jules met us and we had a good chat, then it was off on the school run, before back to Lesley’s to meet up with Diane, Kerrie, Justine, Peppa and Jules. I didn’t drink as I knew I had to pick Jason up and knew he was going to be late, Sam was also going to boxing for the first time with Charlie and Jamie. I picked Jason up at 6.30 and got back to Lesley’s just before 7.00 to get Sam. But Sam had been invited to stay with Charlie so I brought him home for a quick shower and change before dropping him back, I left Jason at Lesley’s as Kieran and Ed had arrived and were having a beer with Paul. We had a couple of drinks, then home to bed. We couldn’t be late or drunk, we had Mollie with us, Tom was babysitting for Hayley, but we also had packing to do, before going to Justine’s BBQ on the Saturday.

Saturday was a wonderful day too, Audrey and Paul popped in to Justine’s, Julie and Mark were there, they were celebrating as Julie had passed her citizenship test that morning, Kerrie and Ed and Diane, Mic was working a late shift. Tara and Josh called in much later, the BBQ started at 1 and apparently we got home about 11. I blame the woo woo’s, ohh and the cider, and the wine and whatever else I drank.

Sunday I was not great, Jason got up and left me in bed thankfully, Peppa’s BBQ was from 2.30 and we arrived at 3.15, I was still hung over but managed to drink 2 glasses of shandy and 2 glasses of wine, but that was my lot. I ate lots though, it was lovely and did make me feel a little better, but I was so tired and just needed my bed. It was the usual crew, Julie and Mark, Justine and Kieron, Diane and Mic, Lisa and Gene, Lesley and Paul and of course Peppa and Owen. Weather wise it was lovely, a little windy but very pleasant. We weren’t late home, after skype with mum and dad it was off to bed for me ready for back to work today.
