Got v. drunk last night and have dastardly hangover. I hate getting drunk – I go all “honest” on people’s arses and now I’m worried I’ve upset my friends, including v. great Husband. Not v. good start to the day, let me say.

The party was in honour of our Friend J, who is flying the coop for the States, erm… when he manages to get a visa. We’ll miss the lad – a good mate and fellow Hitler-child (we have to stick together, you know).

Missed out on a gorgeo house yesterday at Auction, by $2,500. We’re being strong – we have a limit and we’re sticking to it. This other dude wanted the place baaaaaad, and would have pipped us no matter how high he went, so good on him.

It was funny, there were probably 30 people there at auction and really only two serious bidders, us and the other dude. 10 of the onlookers were actually guests at a Hen’s Party going on in the very house being auctioned. There were probably 100 massive pics of David Hasselhof (“The Hof”) in various poses lining the corridor and living room walls for bidders to see. Am sure the agents were v. happy about the interior decoration – in fact, it could have hiked the price up.

In other news, good friends of ours in Japan got engaged! They are v. secretive, so can’t reveal any names, but we’re v. happy for them (they know who they are) – I do love a good East meets West Romance story.

I think that’s enough for me – must go and down a few Beroccas.
