Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | 2 DAYS TO GO!! : The party the parents and all the goodbyes

Hi all!
3 DAYS TO GO!!

So we had the Leaving Party last night, and nobody showed up on time. I started to get really worried that we had all this food and everything and there were only the three of us! But then once people started coming, it was people didn't stop coming! It was packed! The food didn't really work out that well as we were all so smushed together that getting at food and serving food was really difficult. Both my lasagnas (which were huge!) went pretty fast, and some sausage rolls and lots of chips and bread and dip.. but I didn't bother to make a bunch of Nachos or this platter thingie I got 'cause it was just too much hassle and everyone said they weren't hungry. Oh, and I left Adrian in charge of potatoes and he cooked all of them! 2 bags! We had like.. 30 potatoes and about 5 got eaten!!

His parents, who went back and forth about 17 times about whether or not they were staying ended up staying.. They sat in the front room, with the door closed so we couldn't get in there - which was a real pain because that was one of the other two rooms (aside from the tiny kitchen) that we had to use! A bunch of people ended up having to stand outside, which was FREEZING so I felt really annoyed about that. I was wearing my coat most of the night.
Other than that, the party went really well. More people than we thought were coming, which was nice for Adrian. Lots of people gave us cards and stuff, and Adrian got a St. Christopher necklace as a gift from a friend he's had for years and years.
I will admit that I had tooooo much to drink, but my stomach held up really well so I think I just took advantage. I had a really nice time, managed to eat a bit of my own lasagna (after equalactin, immodium, lactaid..) and then stuck to bread and hummus and stuff.. oh, and maybe some mini-chocolate bars that found their way into the party...

I feel a bit worse for wear today, but have been able to just chill out and watch movies and do some cleaning/packing so it's been good - I even had a normal BM - thank goodness for Immodium!
This morning Adrian's best friend left, and that was sad as they've been close for ages. We are quite close as well, and it was rough but I really just sorta said bye as fast as I could without looking rude and then scurried off - I am not good in high emotion situations.
Now I gotta get packing!
Oh! For my UK girls... I CANNOT BELIEVE Tabby got kicked off X-factor (I recorded it last night and watched it today). I think G4 might win it. You'll have to let me know!
*hugs*
