Paddy's Day weekend blog

Hey guys - here I am again - where does the time go I dont know. Getting closer to my break and I am surely ready for it now. I am in that "I need a break mode for sure!".

I have sent most of you the photos of the ball last weekend and posted the photos on facebook so you have all seen how posh and glam we looked!

Anyway, the rest of last week was pretty busy as ever. I managed boot camp last Monday - my first proper class since getting over my cold - it is getting harder though as the temperature is increasing here now. Tuesday I went to an abs class as I am covering the class next week and wanted to see what Jason did! Then I went for my fake tan - my friend Edain does the tanning on camp - its much better than sitting out in the sun! The bruises from my fall off the bike didnt look too bad either - I know, I am accident prone!!!

We ended up going over to Bahrain on Weds night. It was a bit up in the air as Darron had to work Thursday, but he managed to get a lift to and from Bahrain with his boss, who has a diplomatic passport. This means you can bypass all the queues and it only takes you an hour on a Thursday afternoon as opposed to 3 hours for the rest of us! Didnt do much Weds. Thursday firstly, Lorraine and Tracy called round to the apartment to pick up some booze which they had left with us from their last trip. We have become a booze drop off point for folk who stay over in apartments and dont get to finish their booze before they go! Saves having to dump it!

Went to get my nails done and saw a friend in there who wants me to give her personal training sessions at the gym! So another outlet for me! Then I went to have my hair done at the Ritz. It was a bit like Picadilly Circus in there - but always is - and my hairdresser was AWOL so 4 of the girls took it in turns to curl my hair and another hairdresser started my hair, then over an hour later my hairdresser arrived. I was in a bit of a panic as I had to yet get home and changed, etc for the ball! It was worth the wait though as I thought my hair look great - he did a good job...!

Our friend Bob came to fetch me from the Ritz so we whizzed home and got changed. Darron was home by now too. Quick drink and then Mohammed, our taxi driver, arrived and we went off to the Gulf Hotel.

Had pre-dinner drinks and caught up with a lot of folk I had not seen for a while and got photos, etc done. Then had starter and soup and then the speechers started and went on for ages and everyone was starving! Eventually the shut up and we had a buffet meal which was very good. Then there were more speechers, some irish dancing and then a raffle. The band came on at 11.30pm so it was rather late. We stayed until about 1.30 though and were home for 2am - pretty late for me that is these days!

Friday was a pretty late one - didnt get up til mid-dayish but I dont stay in bed often these days! We went to Trader Vics for lunch and then did some grocery shopping and just chilled out for the rest of the day.
Over the causeway at 5.30am on Saturday morning and back to work! I managed a gym session last night which was good, although do ache today and have done one pilates session and have another one tonight!
No boot camp tomorrow - I am having a massage on my back as its been sore (from overdoing the gym!) and then I am going out with some of the new girls for a meal in the evening. Covering Jason's class on Tuesday and maybe going to the gym (yes I am mad!) and Weds I have to help set up for the PAWS karaoke night on camp and collect money later on the door and then we have a leaving party to go to! Thursday we are camping in the desert - havent done this before so hope it goes ok. Not really into camping these days - much prefer hotel rooms - but can say I have done it now!!!!
Thoughts go out to my Mum today and my Nan - both of who I miss loads and also to Jade Goody.
Right, best go and look busy - congratultions to Lewis and Em on the birth of baby Scrimmers too - I know I should have said that a few blogs ago, but I am just behind with the times!!!
See some of you in about 5 weeks or so....
