Sorry I've been a bit lax its been bedlam here at 40something house - as always.
Last weekend I went to Birmingham for 24 hours of madness with my little sister and some of my friends.We had some hoodies for the occasion which I did myself by ordering the diamanté logos and names off the internet from Diamantés R Us they ironed on really easily and meant we got blingy hoodies for a fraction of the cost if we'd bought them all finished for us.
We stayed at the Staycity Apartments in Birmingham which were really nice - great for a group of people they sleep up to 5 in a 2 bed which is what we had but I think they could easily have taken another 2 people as long as you don't mind sharing that is ! There were 2 double beds and a sofa bed which could comfortably have taken 2 people and the bed in the one room was enormous and slept 3 easily ....as we found out !
We checked in at the apartment around 4pm after a delay which was soon rectified and they even refunded us 30% which paid for our champers later but I'll come to that.
We had a lovely meal at the Garden House a Chef and Brewer pub on the Hagley Road and my table had been decorated with confetti and balloons and banners thanks to my daughter.
The food was excellent and I highly recommend a visit if your in the city, the bubble and Squeak starter was divine and the gourmet burger excellent and I was thoroughly stuffed after a glass or two of red wine.
once ready we headed out to Marco Pierre White's champagne bar at the top of the Mail Box , the views were amazing and we spent all of our refund on a bottle of champagne which at £62 was not cheap but a special treat none the less....
We then went along to Duelling Piano's on broad street which is a club type place where they have 2 piano's on the stage and you fill in request cards for songs and they take it in turn to play your requests fighting to get you to pick them to play your song. We requested a few songs and they finished the night with my request Mr Brightside which got everyone up dancing.
All in all we had a fantastic night which was finished off the next morning with a lovely breakfast in Frankie & Benny's in Walsall, I can't wait to do it all again in July for Jo's birthday :)
Hope you enjoyed this weeks blogKx
