Lessons from New Year's Eve

1. Organise your party music before the party starts, even for a casual party... or your guests may start rumaging through your CD piles themselves - and then start telling you how bad your music collection is. (Ok, ok, Britney Spears was a very weak moment, many, many years ago!)

2. If the weather is terrible, and you are planning on sitting on the back deck, then organise some weather-proofing before the party starts... or gallant party-goers will decide that they can rig up a tarp after a few drinks, and will balance themselves on the wet banister, dangling from the gutter with one hand and a hammer in the other. (Luckily tragedy was averted, and the tarp did keep the wind and rain out)

3. Get out of the kitchen, stop cleaning up, sit down and join in!! Or before you know it, midnight has come and gone, your guests are heading home... and you forgot to enjoy the party!
