    Oh dear Bookie, 8pm makes it a long old day doesn't it? Hopefully it will get busier the nearer to Christmas it gets. Are you able to park near the shop so you can get straight home afterwards?

    It was really busy up til 6pm but then it just died and got cold. Good time to go shopping though without the crowds!

    It's and out of town shopping centre (Fosse Park) and staff can only park in designated areas and they the furthest away from the shops. Trouble is, shoppers can use them too so you have to be quite early even if you start late. Can't really work it out cos we have to have passes displayed - how do they know we're not shoppers?

    Right...off to strip the beds and get the washing done.

    have just discovered toluna - is it sad that I got a spreadsheet out to work out how long it might take me to earn a voucher just by answering short polls? :D

    Bun, why don't you ask over on the wedding board for pricing tips?

    Personally, I wouldn't want the same hairdresser as make-up artist or to pay by the hour. Because I'd hope that one bridesmaids hair could be done while another one was having make-up sorted out. I have five people, possibly six, to have hair and make-up done so I think that would take far too long with one person. :o

    Well, I don't hang around - sofas have been bought. They will be delivered in 6-8 weeks - yay :j

    We sat in them and they were so comfortable compared to the ones we have now - can't wait for them to be delivered.
