We managed to get the place respectable in time for all our visitors this afternoon. Linas and I had gone into town in the morning, got rid of more stuff at the dump , did a little shopping (more glass drops for the tree and some new lights) in the sales and bought a carpet offcut for Romas' room. Linas wouldn't let me buy the bright pink carpet that caught my eye and we settled for a light brown carpet that cost me £64. The room is now totally transformed and very acceptable. When everyone arrived we had a second grand present opening with much hilarity.
Vytas was dismayed to realise that he had left his favourite extra large tea mug in Salisbury but luckily we had a suitable replacement.
Milo joined in enthusiastically as he delighted in destroying every piece of wrapping paper almost before it was off the presents.
I think Kate E liked her clinking present.
And Alex was definitely overjoyed with this pink molepig (anime character) from Vytas and Kate B.
Romas had washed his hair earlier and managed to get both Alex and Kate B helping out with the replaiting. Even I had started on the task earlier. Apparently not only his girlfriend but the other girls in his corridoor at uni enjoy doing this for him. After a roast dinner we all decided to measure ourselves , some had grown and some of us have shrunk. Oh the weight of advancing years.
Vytas is still the tallest at 6'3 1/2" and Milo is the shortest at 2'6".
