The revenge of the stripey socks - a DFW adventure

EssexHebridean

Welliefest is sounding great isn't it! well done you on all your planning!

A thought for budget-ish cards - and hopefully some of the more regular cardmakers can give some input as to how this would work - how about using plain white or cream cards, with a heart shape or whatever shape takes your fancy on the front in glue, with sand from the beach sprinkled onto it? If you have any tiny seashells on the beaches up there you could even pop a few of those into each envelope before you seal them up too to continue the beach theme? Hobbycraft also have a website and online shop that might give you some inspiration.

But you forgot the costs of your hen do & coming down to London for tea at the Ritz with me & Jo :rotfl:

Loving it, hon, sounds fab

fay, you get quidco income don't you?
I've just had my first entry paid to Quidco how long do they take to pay it out to me?
I've never really trusted that it would work for me, but it looks like at least one entry has. Yay!

LT - once something has gone to received status on Quidco it will pay out at the start of the following month - so long as you've set up your bank account details for them to pay into.

That all sound like a fab Welliefest idea!

Maybe have a look for something for DD in the Monsoon sale. They do such nice party dresses and although pricey when full price - the sale can be truly bargainous.

When I was bridesmaid for my sister, I got my frock from there and it was lovely and was cheap as well - I'm sure had 70% off at least!

Hmm I priced that - :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

It was almost more than the whole welliefest - how about meeting in the middle in Edinburgh???

LT - just what EH said - and I was exactly the same my pal showed me quidco and i thought it was a scam - so didnt use my account for nearly a year.....last year it paid for xmas pressies - this years contributoins ahve been great

Makeup - we were thinking Monsoon - I will need to check out when the sale is - we're down the the land of Fife over new year and I think the nearest monsoon will be Edinburgh.........................

HB - seemingly stag parties were historically pretty common - the young stag heading out on his own away from the herd I think is where its from (?)

Hen's a colloqual 'nice' name for female where I am from - seemingly Hen parties were uncommon until the 60's and we all shouted for equality.
