View Full Version : Shop Fest 2?
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 :)

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

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

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!!

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.

6 An out- door day .... but that might still be a bit cold.
Vicky Mann
11-01-2007, 09:57 PM
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
11-01-2007, 11:03 PM
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?
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??

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 :)
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

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.
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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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!
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.

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!!!
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 :)

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

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.
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....

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

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

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 :)
