I went out last night. I don’t mean I popped to the shop to get some milk and bread for the morning. I mean I went out, out. Like, I actually bothered to put make up on, put on something pretty and I drank alcohol. Lots and lots of alcohol.
A couple of months a go my lovely cousin arranged a girls night out with myself, my sister and a few of her school run friends. She booked us all tickets to go see an adult pantomime at The Stage Door
in Southampton. The panto is called Beauty and her Beast and judging by the reviews I had read, we were in for a very naughty show.
My sister and I got the train in to Southampton and had an amazing passion fruit and rum cocktail before going to meet the others in the theatre. It was so so good, I wish I had written down what was in it. I quite like the idea of spending Christmas evening with a mince pie in one hand and a martini glass in the other,
Passion fruit cocktails are a.maze.ing! |

After finishing off our cocktails, we headed over to The Stage Door and met up with the other girls. The bar in the theatre is nice and cosy and was looking very festive with a Christmas tree in the corner. I got started on the gins while the other girls sipped on Prosecco (I think I am the only person in the world who doesn’t love the stuff). In no time at all it was time to go upstairs to the show room, find our seats and get ready for the show.

Once the show finished most of the girls went home. I don’t get out very often so there was no way I was going home at 10! My sister, cousin and I all headed back to the cocktail bar for late night happy hour. We really made the most of the 2 for 1 on drinks and at some point we decided we just had to go dancing. So that is exactly what we did. We headed off to a club and danced in to the early hours, it was so much fun.
Buy one get one free is always a good thing. |

Sounds wonderful, lovely to have a laugh and a giggle with friends and even better to wake up to bacon sandwiches made for you! #KCACOLS
This sounds so fun! I wish I could go, sounds like a great night out! #ABitOfEverything http://www.ladywritesblog.com x
I couldn't help giggling at the bit about maybe not hitting a club for another six months. You're definitely a younger mum. It would be 'may not hit another club ever again' for older mothers lol.
Glad you had a good time. And yes cocktails are just the best. (Will send you a link regarding that 😉 )
P.S. Shoulda called it Beauty and the Breast really 🙂
#ABitofEverything
Sounds like a brilliant night, and when you have someone to make you a morning after breakfast it makes it even better! 🙂 #abitofeverything
Sounds like a brilliant night – and we all need to let our hair down now again so good for you! XX #twinklytuesday
Didn't know adult pantomimes existed – sounds a lot of fun! #abitofeverything
This sounds like such fun! I have never been to an adult pantomime, in fact I am not even sure I knew they existed! Glad you had such a great night! I fancy a bacon sandwich now 🙂 #KCACOLS
I know, I actually couldn't believe he made me bacon. I fell in love with him all over again,haha x
It was so fun!Aww,you should go to one next year x
Haha, that is a much better name for a naughty panto! Well I am only 24, I hope my night clubbing days aren't over just yet, we'll see though! Read your post and loved it, it made me want more cocktails 🙂 xx
It was really fun and the bacon was exactly what I needed to get through the next day. Food tastes soo much better when it's cooked by someone else, doesn't it? 🙂 xx
Yes, I totally agree! Especially at Christmas time, a night on the town is like a little present to ourselves. Thank you, I did have a great time 🙂 xx
Nor did I. I haven't ever been to a normal panto, I would probably find it quite dull after seeing this 🙂 You should go watch one!xx
Thanks, I really did have a lot of fun. Go make yourself a sarnie, you should never say no to bacon 🙂 xx
I'd never heard of adult pantomimes before! It sounds like great fun. From the pictures, it looks like you had a wonderful time. Good for you!
I love the idea of an adult pantomime, but I've never heard of it! I wish there was one close to me. I love that it had lots of current relatable jokes in it, sometimes pantomimes can be a little dated so that's good. Good on you for going out out by the way, I hope you had fun! #Abitofeverything
Mmmm cocktails, adult panto and going a bit mad on gin – sounds like my perfect night out! I bet you feel like a new woman after that and good for you! So glad you got to let your hair down a bit lovely. Thanks for linking up to #coolmumclub and have a FAB Christmas xx

I hadn't either! It was a really good night out though, much better than if we had just gone to watch the local production of Aladin xx
Yea it had lots of current stuff in it, it needed something to break up all the dirty jokes and toilet humour, haha. Maybe there will be something similar on by you next Christmas xx
Aww thanks Talya, sometimes us Mums need to go a bit mad don't we, considering everything we have to deal with every day! Thanks for hosting and I hope you have a great Christmas and new year xx
Sounds like a good girly night out, what fun! I haven't had one of those in a LONG time!
Thanks for linking up with #KCACOLS
Sounds like a brilliant time and that panto sounds fab! It's the sort of stuff I want to be in! #KCACOLS
Sounds like you had a fab time! I like the sound of the Adult Panto! And the cocktails — yum! I can't make it past 10pm nowadays but with a drink, there might be a chance!
