    YAY!


    Her mum is over the moon with the ideas, so i'm going to negotiate a deal with the studio! With competition from studios that go through Groupon and Livingsocial offering £10pp shoots, i think me offering the £30 per person with 1 free photograph (and only 2 outfits instead of the 4 she offers which i felt was a bit excessive!). She seems a lovely lady, and is keen for business, its around the corner, and she says i'm welcome to come round and decorate first! i told her the whole sorry story and she was so sympathetic and nice about it, bless her. I'd rather pay more for a more personal service. She was upfront about the cost of photos too, £40 each, but deals for more. I've been to one of these photoshoot things myself of a voucher (a free one or it wasn't much, can't remember!) and they are SO cagey about prices, and its a very much "in out and get as many other sales as we can!", so i think i'll pay the extra for a decent service that's virtually next door!

    She actually suggested to come to her before our night out, that way we'd be all ready to go out... which makes sense!

    I haven't got round to ringing the pink taxi yet, hopefully they will be reasonably priced in comparison to a normal black or even pink cab, probably more mini-cab prices as they just happen to be pink, rather than charging because its pink!

    So the plan is, meet them at Euston at about 12, get the bus to Waterloo, and then the thames clipper to mine (her mum really wants to go on a boat ride, and the stop is round the corner yay!). Then drop the bags off etc (will tell her mum to pack the outfits separately or something and make up some rubbish about bringing them out) and go round the corner for the makeover/photoshoot. Then get picked up however and go up to Covent Garden for a nice meal then go and watch Legally Blonde at the theatre and go out for a few naughty drinks! The the following day hangovers all round no doubt and a open top bus tour or something fun! and then send them home again and relax until her other hen do up north on the Monday.... arrgh haha!

    wish me luck! x
