The Hen Partay
well yesterday was the hen party. it went really well. me, eileen, lyndsay and sarah all had outfits to wear during the day. grey joggy suits that me and mum had been organising, without eileens knowlege, for about 4 months. they all had our names on the front and out titles on the back
eileens top said 'the bride', lyndsays was 'bridesmaid, 2nd in command', and sarahs had 'princess bridesmaid' on it.
we headed through to edinburgh with everone and went for lunch (we ran around for about half an hour trying to find somewhere with space for us all) then headed to the ghostwalk. the first half was above ground and it wasnt scary, just kinda creepy.
eileen and lyndsay got put up against a wall and whipped. this was after lyndsay nearly died before the ghostwalk had even started by choking on her chocolate when the guide guy started the tour by yelling'RIGHT! ladies!!' right in lyndsays face.
we headed down into the vaults which was quite creepy. we were told about a ghost called The Watcher who wasnt particularly nice. he apparently doesnt like people in the vaults and particularly doesnt like women. joy. we moved to another room which had the ghost of a cobbler and a little boy in it. when we were in there eileen got a really cold draft around her ankles. the guide had already told us that there werent any drafts through the vaults. the cold moved up round her shoulders and then she burst into tears. it was quite wierd. we moved on to the last room, which was The Watchers room, and stood facing the door. we were taking some pictures, just incase anything showed up and about a minute after i took this piture of the wall behind me
there was a little draft in my ear. i kinda brushed it away and eileen asked what was wrong. i said there was a draft and the guide told me to move over. a few seconds later there was a stronger draft and i kinda yelled and jumped away. then a really big draft like someone blowing really hard into my ear. i screamed and jumped up. the guides candle went out and he looked more than a little worried. he said 'right, eh, that shouldnt have happened. everyone get out the room now.' eileen elbowed her way past him and we finished up the tour. it was fucking BRILLIANT.
after that we headed back to mine to get ready to go out at night. eileen didnt know we were going to decorate the place for her return.
she seemed quite pleased. we had some food and kirtsy had arranged a champage tower with pink champagne which eileen got stuck into (note the joggy suit)
ten we all donned our glad rags ready to hit the town
(l-r donna, sarah, lyndsay (with fag and drink in hand), eileen, me, lucy, crystal)
we got to the pub (with glittery cowboy hats, oh yes) and had a few drinkies
the we headed to the buff club. it was 'ok' but not brilliant so we decided to head down to the butterfly and the pig pub which its connected to and it was BRILLIANT! lyndsay (who has been excited for weeks over the hen night) was on top form.
we decided just to spend the rest of the night in there and danced, almost non stop (fag breaks excluded) for the rest of the night
we then dragged our weary bodies outside to wait for our taxi.
eileen an lyndsay stayed at mine so we dropped lucy off on the way, got in, had sandwiches and fell asleep.
THE MORNING AFTER!!!
all in all it was a brilliant night. i have spent the whole of today in my jammies (even though we went to tesco AND matalan) because i feel i deserve it. im really glad it all went well and eileen enjoyed herself. hopefully i will flap less at the wedding that i did yesterday. i think eileens friends now think i am crazy coz i kept going 'we have to hurry up or we'll be late for the ghostwalk/bus/train/club/taxi'
