I gutted
I can now confirm I can't go cuz DD can't get the time off work cuz everyone is leaving the company she works for and I can't come on my own cuz my ankles still bluddy killing me
I'm just going off to cut my throat Sad

Carolinett · 17/05/2006 21:25

Before I cut me froat When's the next one

Pixiefish · 17/05/2006 23:14

no idea how big it'll be jenk. i went to a similar show at the nec a couple of months ago and that was only in 1 room but i could have spent the day there. there were no classes there as such although there were make and takes.

Caroline-shame you can't make it Sad

auntyquated · 18/05/2006 07:55

there are 2 small marquees in the corner of the Reebok car park; but they are deceptive! last year they had the same and inside seemed very big. there were only about 2 classrooms at the back and they were a decent size, this year there seems to be only one class happening at a time. the cafe area was very big, but laways very busy, the food was good. if the cafe is too busy the reebok is aprt of a big retail park so there are all sorts...MacD's; Pizza Hut, Asda, Boots, Kentucky plus a few pubs. you can come in and out as you please.

warning tho'--as it is i marquees it is very warm inside, then you are carrying your new stash so you get very hot. the loos were very pposh iirc

i am going tomorrow so if i find out any more i will let you know.

Pixiefish · 18/05/2006 08:44

FAbby AQ- You are a gem.

auntyquated · 18/05/2006 15:58

yes no probs jenk

Pixiefish · 19/05/2006 16:46

we're off shortly as well. Dh has agreed to leave here at 6 ish so that we can get to Bolton tonight rather than having to leave early tomorrow morning.
See you all there tomorrow

(The plan to leave last night fell through)

auntyquated · 19/05/2006 17:05

very busy, bigger than last so cafe is smaller, 2 cafes but smaller than last years bigger one. hot but you can leave bags/coats in a manned cloakroom. still spent plenty!

Whizzz · 19/05/2006 17:11

Have fun all
I can't make it even though its not that far from me (I'd spend too much anyway) Wink

No, ive not managed any playing at all as Dd was taken into hospital last night with convulsions/fits. Sad
They gave us antibiotics(again) and Calpol and we have been at home nursing her all day so havent played with my BS at all in fact its still in its box Shock

Will be making up for it though.

Glad your walk went well and you managed to get more stash-brill Grin
