When Party Plans Turn Feral

Andrew – The other night Gusband and I took pity on a friend of ours and agreed to host a Thermomix party. Our darling friend, who shall now be called Fabulous Salesgirl, possibly did not know what she was getting herself into.

What was the problem with a Thermomix party at Castello Edwardo? Certainly not the Thermomix (an appliance that shall change your life apparently) but the last word “party”.

The fabulous appliance I would never be able to use

Never having hosted a “Party plan party” before, we gathered our nearest and dearest in the forms of The Foot Doctor, P-Mac, Mary Moot and L-Love. Table set simply but stylishly, Tulips in perfect state of bloom and glasses at the ready.

Fabulous salesgirl arrived and announced that none of us were to get “blotto” before main. First problem….. Gusband and I had been shoveling cosmos into our guests since they arrived. L-love was put on secret refill duty and the presentation began.

400 of these later.....

Now everyone knows that I hate to cook, so what the f#*%k I thought I was doing sitting up there like an attentive schoolboy is anyone’s guess. Totally wasted on me! I should have been the secret refiller because no one was buying my interest for a second.

Fabulous Salesgirl did a wonderful job considering her audience consisted of mostly drunken yobs. It must be hard to come into your friend’s house and make a group of people dinner that have used the event as a chance to catch up and have a mid-week bender.

Fabulous Salesgirl’s assistant scampered off when the Glee soundtrack came on and the dancing began. Poor out of town bitch just doesn’t know how people in the OC party.

In today's episode Rachel Barry shall be played by Gusband

No one bought the appliance but I felt obliged to buy an attachment that I neither need nor know how to use. $30 well spent I’d say.

Turns out we are good at planning a party campers, not party planning. Xx


Lucy - It's not like you all to get drunk mid week!!! I'm sure the hangovers were worth it. The poor party plan salesgirl, she never had a hope, I'm surprised  she didn't throw in the towel & start drinking.
