Other stars at the party included Bob Marley Jam Master J from RUN DMC, Freddie Mercury, Lisa ‘left eye’ Lopez and Dusty Springfield.
What on earth did Karen Carpenter wear I wondered, despite the repeated suggestions of just wearing a skeleton suit (you’d be surprised at how many people suggested this) I went for the ‘Lead Sister’ top she wore when touring in Germany. I didn’t think going as a skeleton would be very funny, especially considering how serious anorexia is. 
At around 10pm we let off the first of the fireworks, we thought we’d better incase we got too drunk later or forgot! We all ‘Ooood’ and ‘Ahhhd’ in the right places, the kids from next door even joined in! I was happy as it meant that I’d seen fireworks in 2008 – after missing them at the company display!
Once the first round was done it was back inside for cocktails and more singing…I believe for some reason most if not all the cocktails had Triple Sec in…I have no idea why.
Midnight came round and we did the hugging, kissing, Auld Lang Syne -ing and of course the obligatory texting to everyone you know who has a mobile! I appeared to still be doing this at 2am…I have no idea…
Outside again for the remainder of the fireworks, a house a few doors down also had some so we were Oooing and Ahhing at theirs too! But this time, for some unknown reason LOG was sporting a long blonde wig. It was rather amusing to see Kurt Cobain and Jam Master J lighting fireworks and then running away with their blonde hair!
After the fireworks were finished we all went back inside and carried on with the cocktails until around 4am!
Everyone had a brilliant night and 2008 definitely ended on a high with 2009 starting with a bang, not to mention a few sore heads in the morning…well ok, afternoon!
Happy New Year!
