Christmas at Cuffe & Taylor

So after an eventful end to the week last week, we've enjoyed another busy Friday (albeit not as fun!)

I baked some of my famous mince pies for the team! Complete with orange and cheese, a very stange combination but very yummy!

We were also treated to Christmas Lunch at Java, Lytham which involved us all being covered in glitter from some very festive christmas crackers. Some people also missed their mouth when eating, here's Ryan picking up the leftovers!

Ryan just can't keep his food in his mouth!

So all that is left to do is wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Team Cuffe & Taylor!



 

Extra Christmas wishes from Ryan, Peter & Brett!

The countdown to Christmas is on!

Well with the arrival of December, comes the arrival of the party season. Friday night was no exception and the Cuffe & Taylor Christmas Party 2012 did not disappoint!
Firstly it was the Secret Santa present exchange! I was very pleased with my gift from Mr Aidan Cartmell, Rihanna's new album Unapologetic (which also followed the theme with  that evenings events, but more on that later!)
I can reveal that I had one of our Directors Mr Peter Taylor to buy a gift for! I must admit, he was one of my preferred choices to buy for! Everyone opened their gifts one at a time and we had a few silly presents in there of course.

The new LMFAO- We're sexy and we know it! 
I put a lot of thought into Mr T's present and I settled on buying him David Walliams new biography Camp David. Some good reading material for Mr T's impending Florida holiday. Peter was completely thrown by who purchased the gift and automatically assumed either Daniel or Lady Burns had purchased it as the present looked as though it had been gifted by Selfridges! I do love a well wrapped present!

 
 
The day didn't stop there, we even had time for a spot of office dog sitting- all in a days work! We nearly had a spot of dognapping too, if it was up to Brettmondo who fell in love with Cockerpoo puppy Lottie!
 

 
Then it was time to Party- Cuffe & Taylor style or in Brett's case Gangham style! After some lovely canapés, a few photos and a few drinks later- we danced the night away! I think it was fair to say we were both guests and entertainers at the party. Here's a few memories from a fab night!
 

Some very sparkly outfit choices for the evening!

The newly christened Shartillard!

Merry Christmas from Team Cuffe & Taylor!

The party season has arrived!

December has finally arrived and along with it sheer panic that I'm unprepared for Christmas! But there's still time yet to turn it around! The same can't be said for a certain Lady Burns who has finished and posted all her Christmas cards and is now half way through wrapping presents- Miss Organised! With only a few weeks until Christmas, it's time to step it up a gear! At least I've managed to get my Christmas Tree up :) I almost didn't though, it's been a ridiculously busy weekend for me!










 My working week finished with a trip to the Manchester Arena to watch Keane, who were brilliant live! Friday it was a trip to the Trafford Centre to catch up with my old school friends and take a trip down memory lane- including some very embarrassing photos which are far to cringe worthy for my blog! Saturday it was over to Leeds to visit my friend Hollie and to enjoy the final Twilight movie Breaking Dawn part Two.


This weekend is set to be another busy one, we have the always memorable Cuffe & Taylor Christmas Party on Friday Night. Company nights out are never ones you forget in a hurry, but ones you spend the week after trying to recover from! Friday begins with our annual Secret Santa Present exchange, I've purchased mine all that's left is to wrap it. I've got a few ideas who may have me, all will be revealed in the next blog along with what delightful present I receive! Then it's off to glam up and time to party! The dress code is glitz and glamour and Brett Davis's outfit will be no exception- just think sparkle Mr T also usually arrives in a snazzy outfit, ready to whip out the dance moves!

I'll leave you with a few memories of Cuffe & Taylor's 2011 Christmas Do!




 
 
See you on the other side!
