An interview with Johnny the bouncer courtesy of my housemate Kay!
Despite me promising myself to save it for a biggie on New Year, as per usual, I got a little carried away and only came to my senses at 4:00am when Tom (who works in Bananas with me) tried his hardest to persuade me to accompany him to DaDoune! This wasn’t because he wanted me to join him; it was purely so that he could have free entry (boys with girls in tow get in for free!) Oh dear!
So… New Year Eve morning I woke up with a stonking hangover to face a killer 20 hour shift at Bananas! Technically not possible you may think… however 11:00am until 7:00 am the day after, is the shift I faced… never an enjoyable prospect! To make this situation far worse, Steph- my Bananas partner in crime was sent home so that she could have a small nap before the night shift ensued… meanwhile, I am stuck working the marathon shift, dying of alcohol poisoning… slightly unfair!!!
Anyway, despite my killer shift, it was actually quite fun in the end! Steph returned and we got suitably drunk behind the bar (my hangover subsided by après and I was forced to ‘get back on it’ by the punters!)
It was so so funny, Steph completely stacked it behind the bar taking a round of drinks down with her! Meanwhile, I was demoted to glass collected because I was being too generous with the amount of alcohol in the vodka ‘with a dash of pomme’s!’
7:00am came soon enough and we all stumbled across to Danois to continue the gallivanting by boogying on the tables! I have the most humongous bruise on my back thanks to falling off the table at one point… owch! Steph also stacked it, throwing alcohol all over me on her way down! As you can imagine, this early morning shin dig was far from civilised, but never the less very fun!
So 8:30am came and Danois started breakfast… AMAZING! Most of us were dying and falling asleep…
Or sharing sausages!
Haha! Finally made it to bed at 10am!
3:00pm New Years Day… Follie Douce is calling!

Braving the snow!
It was a full on snow storm up the mountain, but I think we were all a little delirious from lack of sleep and probably all still drunk! Myself and Steph made it back onto the tables!
From here, we accompanied the boys to Le Foret… Max had a bit of an incident on the bus back from La Daille, when some mental French man decided to collar and head butt him but he assured us that it must have hurt the French dude more due to his poor aim on the forehead! Oh dear! May I just add that this does not happen often in Val, so we were all a bit surprised about this unprovoked act of violence!
Max wasn’t too fazed, so we all just hit the warm toffee vodkas… AMAZING! I think this is my new favourite drink… basically it is melted down Worthers Originals mixed with milk and vodka… they are so yummy!
We also found a random cat, which came to join the party!
From here, we headed for some dinner in Bananas then off to Morris! Pretty eventful 48 hours!
Soooo…. Saturday 2nd of January and we hit Dicks! Oh dear… oh dear! We bumped into Mike and Will who work at Morris and basically ended up accompanying them back there for an after party…
Baileys shots….! May I just add that the boys provided the Baileys- no illegitimate drinks were consumed on the premises!!!
Man love…
Steph having a wee snooze!
Sunday 3rd of Jan! Skiiiiiinnnnngggggg! So funny… we all thought it would be a fab idea to go in convoy down the mountain (in a big train formation holding onto the person in front) however, we picked up quite a pace and I went flying off piste into a huge mound of snow… apparently it was rather amusing, however I’m not convinced face planting into snow is as fun as it sounds! Moral of the story... don’t snake down mountains in convoy!
Follie Douce!
