Shop Fest 2?

[Alex]

I know it's only 2 minutes since the last widows event, but some of us are starting to get itchy wallets again.

Does anyone fancy starting to plan shop fest 2? Perhaps we could go to a different shopping centre this time, and find a cheap hotel?

Any ideas of what or when?

Spread the word, the more the merrier :)

Wot?! We have to have a widows meet to officially welcome Crickle to the club.

Anyway, hush you. /pan

[Nick Mann]

I've just told Vicky that it's a terrible idea! And I'll sneak my credit card back out of her wallet at the earliest opportunity!

Count me in..... As for kids.... Hopefully NOT!!!!!!! but will depend on Richard with regards to that.
After all we planned our weekend last time and I ended up having to get back to pick Adam up from rugby so the boys could go off shooting paint at each other....

Also depends on if he has a WRD job booked in/help
Oh and as Richy just said.... When, where and how much are also factors

[Crickle]

Oh and as Richy just said.... When, where and how much are also factors

Hmm.. Were not much further on then.. Any idea what time of year atleast? I think springtime would be great! We don't have to get in and out of coats in shops to try things on and we have a time of year to get fit for :)

[Lillywotsername]

April time might be good..... Wotcha reckon????

[Alex]

Mid to late April sounds like a plan to me!

Don't really care where TBH - it's the company that counts. :iloveyou: But having said that.... few ideas.... York? Manchester? Leeds?

I'm sure we'd be able to book into a travel lodge or similar. We could always share rooms to keep the cost down if necessary.

And Steve, you really should learn to trust us. We didn't exactly break the bank last time now did we?? /pan

I am hoping to not have to bring jessica but if I do she can play snap with Ethan again. I will also be making sure she has a early night the night before and making her wear some very sensible shoes...../Grrr /help

[Alex]

Staying over at someone's house is always a good plan - thanks for the offer /thankyou

You could of course all stay here - if we EVER get the dining room finished. We can always kick the other halves out again :)

I guess we could come up with a couple of options, and just the make the final decision about where we go nearer the time??

Vicky was talking about this yesterday. She said how about a spa weekend? It doesn't have to be too expensive, especially if rooms are shared, and it covers a multitude of sins. Those who want to go shopping can, those who want to cover themselves in mud can (although not the dirty mud that some of the women on this thread are talking about!) and then everyone can get drunk with an evening meal?
Sounds like a plan to me. Sufficiently girly!!

[Lillywotsername]

Hey I am easy...... No Nick not like that !!!!!!!:iloveyou: :iloveyou: :evilgrin:

Will go with the flow.... just need to know if Jessica is a no no or not ( Spa weekend.... she is definately NOT coming!!!)

I am pretty game for anything.

Come on Maggie.... have you got any suggestions?

Jane ( Red ) / Helen / Kate..... Any ideas???????

Ya nick i agree with you that if the girls want to go shopping or put cucumber slices on there eyes they can, well now that the ladies are sorted us men should think of a plan of what to do (E.G go karting) and how many people are coming, and if it is going to be a sleep over job or the day and were we are staying (E.G our house):2thumbsup :2thumbsup

I reckon I could sort out a decent karting day for the lads in Leicester for a good price.
Sutton Circuit is a new placxe I went to just before Christmas, it's a tight small circuit excellent for some good buimper to bumper action and I may be able to get some discount on a days worth.

OR we could go to Stretton Circuit, do some karting in the morning and painballing in the afternoon as they do both.

OR we just do a trackday somewhere if we plan the dates right.

[Lillywotsername]

Right..... Come on girls. At this rate the men will be dictating when we can have our get together because they are getting things organised faster than a VR4 on NOS!!!!!

So have we agreed on a Spa weekend? If so where?

Can we please have a show of hands as to who is coming......

I am going to send Helen and Jane a PM to see if they are up for this one...

The only other thing is When???

I am still hoping for the middle to end of April so will not fall in with any meets but will be flexable if that doesn't suit others.

Please can we get this sorted.......:iloveyou: all.

[BraindG]

I know CHrissy is well excited about the Spa weekend, but ive convinced her to come to the Ring with me (hopefully :)) so might want to avoid the ring dates?

[WildCards]

Kates cool for whenever. It's my bifday at the beginning of April, so go then and she can get me a great pressy

[Crickle]

I don't care when you have it.. all i need to know is when and how much! I can travel either way :)

PS Thank you for announcing that I have agreed to go to the BurgerRing with you! You could have let me do that u cheeky monkey! XX

[Alex]

Ok, just to throw a spanner in the works.....

Are we set on a spa weekend, or are we still at the ideas stage?? I was thinking it might be really fun to do Alton Towers, or somewhere like Chester Zoo - or similar.

3 main elements for me: food, booze and gossip. /toycar I'm generally open to any idea (spa included), but you ain't gonna get me in a mud pack!!

As for dates.... are we thinking late April then?

[Kieran]

If poss I would prefer to avoid the last weekend in April, as that's when K and my anniversary is.

[Kieran]

Cue the Hallelujah Chorus.... /pan

[Crickle]

Now we need a location, preferably south of Manchester away from the rain :)

[Lillywotsername]

Ok a few suggestions that has been made...

1 Shopping somewhere.

2 A spa day somewhere

3 Chester Zoo..... Child friendly place

4 Alton towers... child friendly place

5 We could wing it... pick a city and go from there. eg, bowling, food, shopping, ect

6 An out- door day .... but that might still be a bit cold.

[Vicky Mann]

The 12th should be ok as long as we can agree on it now (I'm a bridesmaid on the 29th and I don't know what I'll need to be doing towards wedding stuff during May).

Been having a think about what we can do. Why don't we try to settle on a city and take it from there? Chester seems fairly easy for us all to get to, it also looks like there is a good variety of things to do (good shopping, zoo etc). What do you all think?

[Crickle]

I've been to Chester Zoo a few times but it was always raining. It would be nice to go there when the weather is a bit warmer in May. Seriously tho, it depends on what people want, do we want a family day, or are we meeting to all out treat ourselves?

[Alex]

I'm up for anything except option 6. Sorry girls but I just aint the outdoor action type.

As for which city I really don't mind - it's the company that counts after all.

Just thought of something else to add to the pot - if we based it round Chester, we could go to the races (horse variety) of shopping or the zoo didn't appeal. Never been, but it looks like fun.

I think if we are agreed on the 12th?? then I think Vicky's right that the next thing to do is agree which city and take it from there.

Few options then:

1) Chester
2) London
3) York
4) Manchester
5) Sheffield

Any others to add to the pot??

[Lillywotsername]

Sorry But I would prefer Chester or manchester. I do 6/7 hours driving on a friday and TBH the last thing I need is to get back in my car and drive for a couple more hours.

Mind you.... This is may we are talking about here and Maybe..... just Maybe the VR4 will be back on the road so I can bring her.... And if you don't like it Richard.... TUFF!!:evilgrin: /toycar /toycar /toycar

[WildCards]

I've got a mate that lives in Chester, we've had a long suspicion that he's on the other bus and as such might enjoy a girly weekend with you. Perhaps you could stay at his?

[Alex]

Yeah I'm sure you mate will be mightily pleased with you for offering his home up! /pan

Chester or Manchester is fine with me Lilly. Just thought I'd open the options in case anyone had any other mind blowing ideas :)

[RED]

Considering the crap I've been through of late the thought of a hunky man rubbing me up and down with baby oil makes me a little light headed and very tempted by this option /Devil5

However have you seen the prices - I'd want him to sleep with me for that money :lipsrseal :leer: /JawDroppi /lol

Certainly looks like there is plenty of choice of things to do in Chester.

Have we fixed on that weekend in May?? I'll get in touch with Kate and Vicky and check it's ok with them if everyone else is set?

What do you reckon, next step look at accomodation? What are people thinking Sat night stop over, fri and sat or what?

Oooh sooo excited. I can feel my credit card twitching already /toycar

[Lillywotsername]

If we are doing 1 or 2 nights then we will have to find cheap accomodation. For me and anyone else bringing children... IE maggie and maybe Chrissy... a twin room in a hotel will work out expensive.
I personally would rather stay at an Ibis or summut and have extra cash for spending.

[Alex]

Ibis sounds great for me. For anyone NOT bringing kids I am happy to share, or I am equally happy to pay for a separate room.

[WildCards]

Kate will be bringing herself, so again, she'll be happy to share if it means she's got more dosh to spend on pampering.

We still haven't got any internet access at home, so she can't respond to this thread herself. Feel free to give her a ring though if there anything you need sorting out.

[Alex]

That reminds me - please tell Kate I don't mean to be rude in responding to her text. I will give her a call in the next few days - just thought there was too much to get over by text. I'm sure you've let her know the gist anyways.

[WildCards]

I'm not bringing Ethan if I can help it ladies FYI. If its a Saturday I can drop Ethan home around lunch and head to Chester. i don't think its going to take too long by car from Manchester will it?! Hope my car doesn't die! Argh!!/help

[Cleaning Lady]

Hi Yes we finally have Internet Access, we where connected esterday but i could not get on as per (Steve hogging the computor) Furtunately although steve not mentioned I am off Saturday 12th of May! presume thats when where talking. Spa day sounds great never had the chance of going on one before!!!
I need to could try and booked to finish early on friday 11th as you know from last time I did not finish til 1730...

[Cleaning Lady]

P.S Alex steve did not tell me you had apoligised for not texting as forgetful as he is I thought you just did not want to speak to me!!

Only kidding I have actually been experiencing problems with my mobile too so did not know if you had replyed but i had not received it!

[Alex]

Ok - was thinking of looking into hotels in Chester then. General consensus seems to be that if we book accomodation first then we can all go off and do whatever we want to do, and meet in the evening if necessary.

Can people confirm the following please:
a) do you want your own room, or would you prefer to share to keep cost down
b) just sat night, or fri and sat?
c) any other preferences / comments.

The list so far of those that have expressed an interest is:
1) Alex
2) Vicky
3) Lilly
4) Kate
5) Red (Jane)
6) Maggie
7) Crickle

Have I missed anyone off? As ever, all are welcome.

HI Ladies
I regret to inform you that I will not be able to attend the shop fest or any other CVR4 events. This is because Barry and I are no longer together. He broke up with me on Monday. Naturally I am absolutely shocked and devastated as I thought he was the one! It would hurt me too much to hear about him so its best I leave clubvr4 too.
Have a wonderful time ladies, I wish you all the best.

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo angry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

[bernmc]

I'll kick him in the nadgers for you next time I see him. We girls must stick together... and as the *only* gay in the club, I am also a Lady ;)

But seriously, C, don't go - it's been nice having you around... :bigcry:

Lol thanks all of you.. I'm afraid I'm not gonna be interested in guys for a while, sorry physician.. no offence babe... too hurt to want to ever date again!!/pan

[Alex]

Sorry you're having such a rough time of it. You're still one of us, whenever you want mate :) Chin up.

[Crickle]

What date is the spa day again?
I think I could go for some pampering the way i feel today!
Might stop the palpitations..
I have sat nav too so i can find my way... yay!!!

[Alex]

Ok,

Not sure how we ended up picking this date, but it doesn't seem to be brilliant for everyone. Plus, we haven't really got ourselves organised over this.

I know that Lilly and Vicky can't commit. However, Kate and I are still definitely up for it. We've decided to meet at my house for the weekend Sat 12th May. That way it keeps the costs down, and means that anyone else who's interested can just decide at the last minute.

So all widows are welcome. I have given Kieran his marching orders for that weekend. I can't accomodate people as well as at Chez Mann, but we can manage ok.

Anyone who's interested let me know :)

[Lillywotsername]

I have just been speaking to Richy about this weekend and I am determined I am going to come without small female child....

Should be fun

[WildCards]

However, Kate and I are still definitely up for it. We've decided to meet at my house for the weekend Sat 12th May.

Eh? :huh2:

[Crickle]

Hi Ladies
I will consult Ethans father about getting the weekend night off with Ethan. Not sure if he will allow it with Japfest being straight after and I was hoping to be childless on that trip too.
Leave it with me.... How much is a spa day again... mmm ... lovely mud baths, massages and bone crackings!!

[RED]

Sorry ladies no matter how much I would like a mud bath and a hunky swedish massage I have to pull out/Grrr

I missed a very important fact about the day in question and that is that it's Marcus' birthday:iloveyou: /duh

SORRY!

[WildCards]

I missed a very important fact about the day in question and that is that it's Marcus' birthday:iloveyou: /duh

SORRY!

Take him with you. He looks the sort :thinking:

[Lillywotsername]

So... Now we have a definite date sorted, what are you boys gunna do while the cats away. I would suggest paint balling like last time but a guy was killed at ours not so long ago. :(

[BraindG]

Ive got Me Daughter that weekend :D

[WildCards]

So... Now we have a definite date sorted, what are you boys gunna do while the cats away. I would suggest paint balling like last time but a guy was killed at ours not so long ago. :(

From paintballing?

My house can be empty and theres a couple of decent karting tracks nearby, some paintballing facilities, a BBQ in the garden and room for tinkering on a couple of cars. Wonder if theres any motor racing on at Donington that weekend? Off to check...

[WildCards]

hmm, nothing at Donny but

Moto X Open
"Mallory 51" Classic Championship

Car Races & Displays Celebrating 51 years of motor racing at Mallory Park
Moto X Open is on at Mallory on the Sunday

is at Mallory on the Sunday

[Lillywotsername]

From paintballing?
No he was staff apparently......

From what I could gather from the news, one of the sheds fell in on him. Don't even know if they have reopened yet as closed for h&S investigations.

[Alex]

I don't really know about spa days in this area......

However, we do have a lovely corner bath that people you would be more than welcome to make use of!

I was thinking it might just be best to decide what we want to do on the day - but I could see if there are any local spa days if that's what people want....

[RED]

Take him with you. He looks the sort :thinking:

Meow - baitch/catfight /Handbag

oooh, i'm a laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaady

[Crickle]

If its handbags and biatch slaps at dawn you are lol

[WildCards]

It seems our May weekends are choc-a-block and I can't ask the folks to have the skiddadles every weekend, so i'm afraid I won't be available for consuming copious amounts of alchohol with you, whiping yo asses at paintballing, doing a Schuey at Karting or anyfink unfortunately.

[Crickle]

Hi Again ladies

I am def not gonna be able to make it after all, I am hoping to come to Japfest without my lovely sproglett so shopfest is out the window for me as I will have him here this weekend and poss my freind from Kent.

Shame cos I would have loved the drive up listening to my french Sat Nav. Its ace! I get a bit confused when it asks me to do a u turn, i don't know the french for that!

I am hoping that we can go to the Alton Towers meet tho.

Have a great night. xxx

Christina :)

[Alex]

Sorry to hear this Chrissy - but will catch up with you at Jap Fest anyhow.

Alex
xx

[Lillywotsername]

So..... What are we gunna do then girlies. All I know for sure is that we are stopping at yours Alex, after that I don't have the foggiest.

Also, What are you gunna do with Kieren????? As much as i would like to spent time with him, is he gunna Bugger off somewhere?????

Richy is a no-show for any thing, he is going to be way too busy getting cars sorted for Japfest, which is sad really, but hey ho, these things have to be done and all that.

Anyway, I am really looking forward to this now.... made the mistake of mentioning it in front of Jessica..... Now she wants to come. Still I reminded her of what a miserable little mare she was last time and said NO!!!!!

Oh is it going to be from Friday night again, if so I am probably going to be late as I have to work unfortunately, but I will get finished asap
See yas all there.....

[Kieran]

Also, What are you gunna do with Kieren????? As much as i would like to spent time with him, is he gunna Bugger off somewhere?????

Charming!! :speechles

Heh! Yeah, I'll be elsewhere, worry ye not.:scholar:

[Lillywotsername]

You know I love you really K.... And I can give you some L&A this Sunday so you don't feel left out.

Which ones.. he has so many!:iloveyou:

[Alex]

Well it's pretty open really. Have instructed K to make himself scarce (doesn't mean I don't love you K). Kate is coming Sat am. Thought we'd do a bit of shopping then take-away and chick flick sat night.

You're welcome fri night too, and also welcome to bring Jess if necessary. No fixed plans - you tell me.

As before, all welcome. Look forward to seeing you

Alex

[SGHOM]

take-away and chick flick sat night.



can I come ?? :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :afro:

[Alex]

Surely that would defeat the object of having a widows event....


However, just you and me, any time ;)

[Kieran]

can I come ?? :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :afro:

Hmmm..... The widows might appreciate a stripper!!





:inquisiti

[Alex]

Hmmm..... The widows might appreciate a stripper!!





:inquisiti


I appreciate the sentiment, but just don't go there - it's kind of like getting your mate to strip for your fiancee's hen night i.e. wrong on so many levels! Trust me. we are more than capable of making arrangements to cater for our tastes :)

[psbarham]

Trust me. we are more than capable of making arrangements to cater for our tastes :)

yeh you can imagine them now
' well we spent all the spare cash on booze , but we could do with some men for light entertainment , what to do ? ooh hang on , i have an idea '

'hello which emergency service would you like ?'

' eer fire brigade please '

/pan /pan /pan /pan /pan

[Crickle]

hehe - sounds like a plan lol

[BraindG]

Have instructed K to make himself scarce (doesn't mean I don't love you K).
Where you going K?

[Crickle]

Where you going K?

He's been sent to sleep in the shed at the bottom of the garden poor soul :inquisiti

[Kieran]

Where you going K?

Erm, errr..... Ummm..... I'm sure I'll think of something! :uhoh2:



He's been sent to sleep in the shed at the bottom of the garden poor soul :inquisiti

We ain't got no shed! :embarasse

[Crickle]

We ain't got no shed! :embarasse

Sorry I meant cardboard box :):speechles

[Kieran]

Sorry I meant cardboard box :):speechles


Erm.... Maybe I should bunk down under the pile of old hedge clippings, survival style?! :speechles

[Lillywotsername]

' eer fire brigade please '
Um excuse me Paul...... I think you have this wrong.

It would be the police everytime.........:smitten: ;) ;) :curtain:


Ok Alex I will shoot over Saturday morning if you don't mind, so I am not too shattered. I will see about Jessica, depends on how she behaves this week and wether or not she gets PMT or anything that will affect her mood ( Note to self.... get the chocolate in soon cos it wont be far away)

Anyway Hun I will let you know.

[Alex]

No problem hun - I'm kind of leaving it as open house, so people can suit themselves.

[richy rich]

can I come ?? :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :afro:
No D a chick flick is not your usual girly film (The internet is for PORN)the films you come to

[Crickle]

Um excuse me Paul...... I think you have this wrong.

It would be the police everytime.........:smitten: ;) ;) :curtain:

Hehe I agree to the police uniform one! :smitten:
In reality tho they are still men! :zzz:

Wish I'd have come up now with Ethan, not had any sleep all night with the neighbours/Grrr partying until 6am! i feel dreadful! My mate never turned up from Kent either!

Did you guys have a nice night!?

[Alex]

Chrissy,

It's next weekend hun!

[Crickle]

Chrissy,

It's next weekend hun!

You see, my head is firmly planted in the wrong place with the lack of sleep! darn it!:speechles

[Alex]

You see, my head is firmly planted in the wrong place with the lack of sleep! darn it!:speechles

LOL! Don't worry chick, it happens to the best of us :)

[Lillywotsername]

What a cracking day it has been so far.....

We went shopping for an hour and ended up in our favourite place... the Pub of coarse.

Back to Alex's and we have just had a fantastic Chinese dinnner.... we even remembered to order enough for brekkie tomorrow. :D

Thankyou to Alex and Kieren for allowing us to invade their home for the weekend... you are absolute stars.

[Lillywotsername]

Well I am home safe and sound.....

I would just like to thanks Alex once again for a wonderful time and Kieren for vacating Kierencorp Towers for the weekend.

A very good time was had by all.... too much wine and food always makes for a great time and the company was fantastic... Thank you all. xxxxxx

[Alex]

No problem Lilly - thanks for the great company, the wine and flowers, and of course for helping with the breakfast this morning when I was way too sleepy..... :iloveyou:

And just for the record, I thought Jessica behaved impecably all weekend :)

Overall though, I think this event was badly named as shop fest 2..... Wine Fest 6 would have been more accurate :)

Glad you got home ok - at least going back you don't have to worry about being confused by my directions!

Look forward to seeing you all again next weekend /Poms

[Lillywotsername]

And just for the record, I thought Jessica behaved impecably all weekend :)

I have to admit the threat of being bounced off every wall in the house seemed to do its job.... :D


Overall though, I think this event was badly named as shop fest 2..... Wine Fest 6 would have been more accurate :)

Oh I totally agree with this statement...... Mind you, I think when any CVR4 women come together the wine seems to flow rather faster than normal.

Oh and for the record... I have come home and bought the first 3 Happy Potter books, so at I can keep up with the conversation next time..... /haz :D

[Vicky Mann]

Thank you all for a fab time. Within five minutes of arriving I'd completely forgotten why I was stressed - thank you all. :iloveyou:

I arrived home expecting to open the door to left over curry and empty beer cans everywhere; oh and no chocolate brownies left. I was pleasantly surprised to find the place tidy and only four brownies gone. Next batch has been made and will be going in the freezer tonight.

You’d best get reading Lilly, I’ll be quizzing you at Japfest! :book:

Good old Yellow Pages!:scholar:

Had a great time at Chez Mann last night, nice curry and good company. Good to see you Brunty, god knows how you got up at pre-stupid O'clock this morning though!! Blimey! :zzz:

Thanks also to Richy/Lilly and Steve (Wildcards) for their offers of accomodation too, it was appreciated and far preferable to spending the night in the Garage!

[Alex]

Thank you all for a fab time. Within five minutes of arriving I'd completely forgotten why I was stressed - thank you all. :iloveyou:

Our pleasure Vicky - that's what friends are for /grouphug I think we were already for a good old fashioned girls night in - must do it more often :)

As for Harry Potter - yes you had better get reading Lilly - then Vicky and I can compare theories without risking having our heads knocked together /pan

[Cleaning Lady]

I arrived home expecting to open the door to left over curry and empty beer cans everywhere; oh and no chocolate brownies left.

As expected I got back to find my jeans still on the line in the rain, washer still full of washing and pots everywhere except in the dishwasher!!! Needless to say the first thing I didn't do when I got back was sit down with a coffee...

Steve says he wasn't expecting me back so early..ha ha

But other than that a great weekend had, thankyoyu Alex and K for the accomadation, thanks to vicky for the lift most the way back and lilly for boosting my confidence and offer of lift. Thankyou all for the wonderful company.

I also will be ready Harry Potter once Time travellers wife finished. Looking forward to next weekend all the more now, although not looking forward to stupid O'clock start on my day off. Boo Hoo:happy:

[Crickle]

Now the question is, when is the next one and where?

I think we all know that's a load of bollox don't we, there were some pots in the dishwasher, a couple of spoons etc

[Alex]

Now the question is, when is the next one and where?

Jap Fest could be a good time to start plotting :)
