Train and Tequila Tat

train1
Lynne very kindly fixed the brightness on my train pic from Guildford so you can really enjoy the train building I stayed in. Thank you, Lynne!!

Friday was an interesting day as my friend Mrs H-B had her last day at work and I was very sad. A bunch of us went for a Mexican after work and I thought I’d try a margarita as I’d never had one before. Bear in mind two things: 1. I don’t drink vast amounts or that often and 2. I hadn’t eaten a lot so the tequila hit my system very quickly. I’ve been told I got very giggly indeed but I don’t remember much :)

After we ate dinner with Mrs H-B, I went on to a Tat for Tat party. I came up with the idea at Christmas when I got a load of gifts from an auntie which really weren’t me at all so I decided to have an unwanted gifts swap party which pao swiftly named ‘Tat for Tat’. It was a great success and I got the amazing knitting box at that party. Consequently, Emma decided to have a Tat for Tat II party which I went to on Friday. I was still feeling the effects of the tequila and was feeling very wibbly wobbly still when I arrived at Emma’s.

As Vicki pointed out when she came round on Saturday afternoon, I’d asked for some tat which she would have never imagined being my taste. Shiny bag? I remember thinking how lovely the lining was. Red bag – dunno! Zippy bag – zips tada! Vicki and I did gain lots of nice purple towels which smell strongly of essential oils and I did get a portable CD player which I’ve been wanting for a while plus some other random stuff.

So in the spirit of Tat for Tat – does anyone want the shiny bag or red bag? Sorry, even though I was tequila-fueled, I still like the zip bag a bit as it would make a good sock bag and it’s got zips. Leave me a comment and I will send either the shiny or red bag to you. If there is more than one taker for each then I will get the random number generator out. I’ll give you until Friday 1st May to get your comments in and spread the word :)

    Do you have a zip fetish my dear? Anything else that you would like to share?

    A giggly Mrs. Pao would have been a very fun thing to witness – especially if tequila was the cause!!

    LOL – I am having difficulty imagining you tiddled :-) I’ll pass on the bags, thanks – have too many I don’t use already.

    Oh, Tequila. My stomach is turning…I can’t handle Tequila. I had one bad experience with Tequila and it was enough for me.

    I used to loooove margaritas.

    I saw your title and thought it might have meant you swigged some tequila and picked up a nice tattoo. Alas, no. Purses. ;)

    Never tried a margarita – but it would probably put me on the floor ;) I had a similar experience with gin and cranberry juice years ago – giggling and had to be walked to the car by a girlfriend (there were lots of zigzags involved). She swore she didn’t tell me to order that drink! Some great places you’ve been visiting lately. We have a ‘Dyersburg wool festival’ near us I haven’t gotten to yet. Must be colorful ;)
