1. Have the power go out
2. Try to get ready by candlelight
3. Try to get ready without the aid of irons, washing machines, or clocks
4. Have it snow/slush/ice in your neighborhood
5. Spill cocoa on your dress when the car hits a slippery patch
6. Wipe the spill in the bathroom only to find the color of your dress coming away on the cloth
7. Cover the large wet patch on your dress with a coat for most of the party
This is the absolute truth about M's company Christmas party this year. It was still fun once we got there, but it was more than a little stressful. I was getting quite grumpy by about step #5, but M was very good natured about the whole thing. Still, it would be nice if next year could be a little less thrilling.

In true English tradition our xmas party quickly degraded into improvised game playing - the type of games you dont need an intellect for. People had to try and pick-up a cardboard box with their mouth when only their feet could touch the floor. One girl managed to pick-up a box that was only about 2 inches tall - it was impressive when you've had a couple of pints of beer in good company. Though no fancy dresses, cocoa stains, power-outages fun....
