Ami's engagement party

My friend Ami had an engagement party last Saturday. I'd been planning to go to this party for a couple of months but hadn't planned on having a bottle of wine at lunch on Friday followed by a pitcher of seabreeze after work and then a bottle of wine with Dad on Friday night!! So needless to say I was slightly hungover on Saturday morning/afternoon. I ended up spending the majority of my day on the couch but finally got my ass in gear at 4ish so I could get ready for Ami's. Ami lives in Basildon, Essex, which is where the party was. This all seemed ok until I set off. I left my house at 5:30 to get the train from my station to London, then got a bus to another station and another train to Basildon. I finally arrived at 7:30 - 2 hours after leaving my house - ugh! When I got there I could barely speak to anybody let alone drink! The turnout was good, not many people I know as there was a lot of family but it was still a good time. I only stayed for an hour and a half as I had to leave by 9:30 in order to get home by midnight. That's right, I left the party at 9:30 and walked through my door just before 12! So, 4.5 hours of traveling for an hour and a half at the party. It was fun but next time I won't be drinking the night before!!
