ANYONE GOING TO OLYMPIA FOR SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS EXHIBITION?

[Rhiannon]

It's on Fri/Sat/Sun I think. Costs £9 if you pre-book and £12 on the door. There are 250 stalls selling Christmas gifts, decorations, food and drink. I'm going on Saturday and will be outside the door at 10am when it opens! Yippee! I've got a day off ner, ner, nee, ner, ner!

This sad shopper needs a fix as I've been attempting a big clear out at home this week. R.

Well obviously it was just little ol' me that went but I have to tell you what a great girlie day out it was. 3 of us went and we had 5 hours of pure girly indulgence and got a few Christmas pressies along the way.

There were about 250 stands selling goodies, mostly reasonably priced. There were other stands doing give aways of wine, champagne, cheese, bread, juice. You could have got plastered if you weren't interested in the shopping!

Bought some brilliant mother and daughter matching wellies (peach and lilac!) from Welligogs that are based in Newton Abbot, Devon if anyone is sad enough to want some. R.

Rhiannon, I would have loved to have gone to something like that, but son+shopping=hell! so no chance. Always fancied going to one of those Christmas fairs in places like Germany, they always look great and so Christmassy when you see them on TV.

Erm, not sure about matching mother and daughter wellies tho !!!
