    Hey Annie, I didnt know you were working now :T Wicked!!

    Ahhh yesterday was so lovely. We had some yellow label finest sausages here for brekkie, then we got up to kings x, and the train was 17.60 each ( I kicked myself I could have booked via QUidco & got 5% but alas we never)

    quid for the shuttle bus.

    Someone insisted on buying lunch for the group :)
    Being such a lightweight i was drunk off 3 beers :beer:
    Bought a little bottle of bacardi & some sprites ( £8)

    OH bought me a necklace as a present, it was completely unneccesary, but really lovely present :love: for a fiver. Awwwww lovely day out and I gues we spent under 20 quid between us on the day. ( apart from the trainfares) so not bad.

    I liked S Fayre, but it was like erm, predominiatley shopping, but there was some cool stuff and the atmostphere was nice. Not much music going on though lol!

    Im spending NOTHING today if it kills me. Someone help me out with ideas!!
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    tell you what themaccas, it was difficult to keep a rein on what was spent.I tohught we'd done quite well, but I was a little tipsy I can tell you, we just found 4 musical instruments in our bag ( they were 4 for £3) fair trade, african percussion instruments. Fstival shopping = drunken decision making :D

    God knows what we were thinking, I think they might all go in the Xmas box lol
