No room at the inn

Had the hygienist this morning....oomph!... my mouth is sore and I really don't like dentists :-/ Have rescheduled my extraction for January.

We have all been practising our Christmas knowledge ready for the last pub quiz of the year tonight... and my lot know Christmas inside out (well, films and songs ;-)) The quiz starts at 8.30 and we arrived 7.10ish to get our table, order our food to be ready to start.....

...But there was no room at the inn!! It was bursting at the seams. We were standing around with our drinks, desperately disappointed and making plans to move on and grab some food somewhere else. Rebecca went off to chat to quiz man, Duncan- as she is his favourite. He, together with the manager, rustled up 6 chairs and a small table sitting and the bottom of a small ramp and in the way of a bit of a thoroughfare. But, hey we made it work. Snuggled in our little corner, we ordered some food and was now ready for quiz time. Scoring 20/20 in the music round, Mr C was chuffed to bits. There were 19 teams tonight and we came 2nd overall, losing by one point. We won £25, which Mr C shared out with the kids and quizmaster Duncan gave all his regulars a tin of chocolates.. how kind.

My planned blip was to take a photo of them in their Christmas jumpers around our tree but Natalie had popped out to meet a friend first and Josh wasn't ready. So I grabbed this at the end of the evening of them standing on the ramp (Mr C is a little taller than he looks here ;-))

Ready for bed now. Night, night x
