So so so sleepy! Actually think I might just HAVE to go to bed before midnight out of lack of being able to keep my eyes open!
Last night was such a good night though- definitely worth the pain I am feeling today! It was Ben’s 26th birthday, so in true boy style he decided to have a PANTS PARTY! (He was hoping for a party in his pants… but this didn’t materialise due to the fact that there was a boy to girl ratio of 10:1!)
Being one of the lucky 4 girls to be invited to this pants party, I decided to shy away from the skimpy frills that the boys were hoping for and instead opt for a more practical pair of spotty shorts! Cheated slightly by sporting a pair of black skinny jeans underneath…but I am all for the practicality, especially in minus 27 degree temperatures!
Now I can honestly say, despite spending 3 years at Newcastle University, I have never quite been in a situation like last night…! It was an experience to say the least… 40 guys all sporting very small pants or boxers playing drinking games and generally being semi naked in a very small apartment! I don’t think the pictures do the party justice… it was absolutely hilarious! Male bonding on a whole new level! My 3 female counterparts and I were massively out numbered and our outfits severely mediocre in comparison!
We bought Ben a lovely classy magazine to keep him entertained whilst in Val! Tried to find the most attractive pictures we could but settled on some less attractive ‘models’ to spice things up a little! Very embarrassing having to actually purchase the magazine, especially when the lady in the newsagents was one of the sweetest old French ladies ever! Ah well... It was much appreciated apparently and the free DVD demonstration has been used wisely so I’ve heard!
So after the pants party, we all headed to Saloon to the famous ‘Pimps and Ho’s’ party, all I can say is that the bar people in Saloon are all total hotties but so so brave to wander around in bras- hats off to them (or tops as the case may be!)

Despite still having a twinge of tonsillitis…my absenteeism from shots has well and truly come to an end! Saloon triangles are just far too easily downed….plus I hate to admit it but I am unfortunately hugely susceptible to peer pressure, “down it Emily”… “Roger that!”
Sooo…. Other happenings in Val this week… I went for a night time Crepe with Jim at this really cosy restaurant! The banana and chocolate crepes are hugely recommended!
Also cooked a yummy tomato and bacon pasta dish for dinner with Cress last night… mmmm it was goooood!
My parents sent out my replacement credit cards yesterday after they all got stolen in my first week… this is the best news ever because I now have access to moneyyyy and can stop borrowing money of my lovely housemates!
Very sweet, I also got a new camera (bit of an early Christmas present) which came complete with pictures from home on! Aaaah I miss my doggies!
Mummy also sent a picture of our Christmas tree…
It was a very cute thought… I do need to teach my mother that there are easier ways to share photos that don’t involve sending the whole camera to France, however the thought was there and it was very sweet when I opened the parcel spilling lots of sprinkles onto the bar in Bananas!
Right… that’s all there is to report for the moment….
Lots of love
