Hello to you all! I have a rather scary announcement for you today, (scary for me not for you I hope!) I have been thinking about having a bit of a party for a while now, well everyone else seems to be doing it, so if you can’t beat them join them!
My thoughts are that as a self employed person I never get to go to any Christmas Party’s as they all seem work related/office shing digs……..so I thought I would rectify this and put one on myself!
I have put the feelers out and asked a few of my supplier friends for their thoughts and everyone seems to be keen, so I thought I would ask you lot what you thought.
Now I’m not planning anything fancy, Others have done that already and done it very well, It won’t be a big fancy Soiree, it won’t be a networking event, or a tweet up………..what I want to do is get a few of us together who tweet, facebook, and email each other on a regular basis for a good old fashioned Christmas knees up, the main focus being on having a few drinks (I plan to get very drunk) get to know each other a but better and let our hair down…………just like an office party, but with no photocopying of bottoms or snogging the boss in the stationery cupboard!
Now to be honest that is far as my thoughts have gone, what I want to know from you lot is who would be interested in coming? I need to get an idea on numbers so I can look at venues and being Christmas I need to find somewhere pretty quickly before they all get booked up.
Location: Sheffield city centre close to public transport so we can all have a drink
Date: Mid week beginning of December
Idea: Keep it simple………unless you have any other ideas??
Who: I’m thinking just wedding industry people, not sure it’s a good idea that our brides get to see us in a state of drunken stupor? thoughts on this are welcome
So please let me know your thoughts, would you be interested in coming? what sort of party would you like? after all it’s your works night out as much as mine!!
Please leave me a message in the comment box or email me at [email protected]
Thank you and Boho Love
Kelly xx

yep im there. can we have a secret santa!?!?
ha ha Kat, that was about the only idea I did have…..thought a scret santa would be a fab idea…..silly hats and a whole load of christmas kitch! nothing fancy, you know me!
That sounds like a great idea Kelly!
Christmas parties are about the only thing I miss about working in an office, and something like this would be a perfect solution. As for what kind of party, I don’t really mind, a party’s a party to me. You never know, I might actually get to speak to you properly this time!
Sounds like my cup of tea! Can we also include a christmas sing song and a yule log? x
Definitely up for this! Sounds brilliant! :)
So you know I hate the networking thing right?
I’m only coming if I can get shedded with some dudes, photocopy my ass and drink vile cocktails made by some other dudes and then collapse in a corner where some evil photographer will take photos of me dribbling. Then hopefully a videographer will film me dancin and telling you all how much I [email protected]$*king love you all before disgracing myself by vomiting in the toilet.
I do believe all of the above is the law at an office party. Plus my last office party was me and my mate hels at my local pub where we drank two pints in an afternoon and walked home. Rock on!
I need a proper party. Can’t remember the last Christmas do I went to.
However, if it’s any kind of fluffy nonsense, I’m not coming. I only want to come to a proper party with proper people who have personality like… A party should be a place where we feel we can swear at each other after ten pints of stella and go home with a kebab and tales to tell. No boring people allowed!
Love ya! x
Sounds awesome… If you’d have us?! I’m currently on maternity leave until after Xmas so no works do for me either! Both Fran and I went to uni in Sheffield so would be great to go back to our old stomping ground.. Minus the combat pants and Birkenstocks obvs! :) xxx
6 replies already in what 5 mins! What did we tell you? Bet there’ll be dozens by the end of the day. You know me and Matt will be there with bells on (probably literally) if we can. x
Beer, chairs, silly hats. Done. (chairs optional)
your buckets of cocktails and sick bag will be rerady for you Shelly, along with paper hat and streamers!
HELL YES! count us in if you’ll have us!
sounds amazing & i’m in so long as i can convince the husband to swap work for babysitting :) xxx
im in…. me and the barbers are experts at spanking with a wet floor sign…do you want a floor show?
Hell yes – Sounds perfect
Kxx

Hell Yeah Kelly! Date/location depending would love to join you. I’m fairly certain you know how to throw a good ol’ knees up :D xo
I think it sounds like a great idea and you’ll get a lot of interest! Who doesn’t love a secret santa :-)
Im going to be HUGELY preggers, but would LOVE to come and watch you all get smashed!! im deffo up for the kebab on the way home ;o)
You need someone to tell you all what you got upto the next day!!
put me and MrJKD on the list if you will have us ;o) xxx
right I may bit a little more nervous now!!! glad you are all interested! looks like the whole Christmas idea is a popular one, thinking full on christmas kitch is the way forward!
I’d love to come if you’ll have me!? xxx
can we have mistletoe and a santa who’s knee we can sit on…?
OMG….we SO need a Santa!! thanks Kat any volunteers???
Oh yeah and can we have one of those annoying dancing santas? I [email protected]$ing love them! Although Lee Allen dressed up will probably do?….
And pie… deffo a christmas pie… with gravy as well though, we’re up north after all!
And you’ve all got to drink out of pint glasses – none of those cocktail glasses you sissies! We’re northern and we’re proud!
And we have to have a badge made afterwards that says we had a Boho Xmas and survived.
I thank you…!
Shelly I am so pleased you have realsied the emphasis of the party is alchol!………..guess I should start looking for a venue!!!
Crack on girl. Somewhere proper mind. None of that fancy stuff. We don’t want the Rock n Roll Bride thinking we’ve gone soft now…
I’d be up for this, depending on dates! Though have to warn you the last Christmas party I went to I got so drunk that I crossed a busy dual carriageway in the dark to get to a burger van, then didn’t recognise my own husband! X
Sounds great! Count me in please! :)
Shelly –
just cause I have a beard why do I have to be Santa….??
Oh hang ladies sitting on my knee + booze =
I AM SANTA!!!
fantastic Naomi, well I can’t promise you won’t be in a worse state this time!
and Lee………yes you are santa!! you have the job, the barbers can be your elves!
Starters for ten
Devonshire Cat
That bar in Leopold square – quiet nice
Wig and Pen
Reflex – we could all go 80’s lol
Vodka revolution
Cheers Karen xxxx
I find myself in your same situation been a self employer isn’t fun at Christmas! I really wanted to come but we live too far away booooo :(
I spent a night in a Sheffield nightclub when I was 18, no idea where but they were serving roast dinners in take away trays from a window downstairs in the nighclub, it was pretty weird! x
Sounds like a great idea.
I’ve never been to an “office Christmas party” before.
Keep me updated please :-)
Sounds like great fun. I’d love to come, depending on date, logistix etc. Could I doss on your floor Kelly?!?! xx
With 20 other people and Dee walking all over our heads no doubt!! Hehe xx
I can’t do 5th, 6th, 9th because of weddings.
I wanna go but I’m fearing for my place !!
Jon thinking 7th or 8th so you may be OK xx
Count me in for sure, if I am welcome. I was in Asia last year and can’t wait to catch up on Christmas party type shenanigans. Fun fun fun… x
Since Leon’s parents live in Sheffield and we’ll no doubt be driving up there closer to Christmas Day, I’m not sure whether we can manage two trips up there in December :( I will try though.
Would love to……definitely no cameras though…my mulled wine face itsn’t that photogenic!
Thanks. I want to be there………:)
This sounds like a scream- we’re there!!!
Most definitely – great idea!
Wow…..well thank you everyone what a fab responce! I’ve started teh search for a venue so will hopefully have that sorted in the next couple of weeks. More details to follow. xxx
If I was nearer to you I would have suggsted I come and do one of my belly dance fun christmas parties :) xxxx
Yay i’m in Kelly! Lets get proper sloshed. xxxx
Tis the season to be jolly and all that
Ooooooo how exciting a Christmas knees up… mulled wine is at the ready… xxxx
Whoop!! just seen this we’re in!! bonus means now we dont have to have our own little party just me kelly and gill sat in Mcd’s lol
can I do my traditional pull my thumb off magic trick, get very drunk and throw up please seeing as though its a christmas party ha ha!
This looks the dogs bollocks! I love Sheffield and everyone going. Great idea Kelly! I’d be all over this like a tramp on chips! (I am a tramp anyway) but Emma ‘the nut’ Case has bagged herself an acting job in December, a really cool children’s play which is on afternoons and evenings. So this sadly rules us out of the best sounding Christmas do ever. :-(
Hopefully do this again soon! Lots of love
Petey Pete xx
Oh I’m up for a knees up in the city centre. Time to dig out my santa hat!
This sounds like so much fun .. I’m in if I haven’t got a last minute order on! :)
Due to an email issue if you have emailed me between the 2nd & 9th of December, please resend it.
