*DIS Girly Weekend Trippy ~ Birmingham, September '09*

[PoppyAnna]

Looks like you had a great time girls I love the shot of lollipop Mandy in the road

Hope it doesn't take too long to recover

I am actually not all that sore at all. My right leg looks an interesting colour, but I am a lot happier today then I was yesterday.

Corinna

 

[Chilly]

I would also like to add how much I enjoyed meeting Corinna (finally) and I am very pleased that she felt brave enough to come along and join us

I agree with Joh, it was lovely to meet you Corinna.

Claire, I can't believe how much your hair has grown! You're going to be a scrummy bride. Maybe next year .

Thanks Deb, hope you can make it next year!

Another plus was getting to chat, spend time and quaff booze with Joh, Nat, Theresa and Claire (she'll always be Chilly to me )

I will always be Chilly even after the wedding.

Sorry for being the last one out of Primark yet again!

It wouldn't be a girly weekend if we didn't have to go and find you.

Copied from the other thread:

Unfortunately the weekend came to a bit of an unfortunate end. Our room at the hotel had the shower over the bath tub. I had a shower this morning and slipped with one leg outside of the tub and one inside. I am basically OK, but very bruised and sore.

I finally found a dress to wear at my sister's wedding next week. Today on the way to the station, I went into a shop that I would normally never even consider (Anne Harvey) and I saw two beautiful outfits. In the end I settled on this:

The photos don't really do it any justice, but both the dress and the lace jacket are a beautiful midnight blue. I am really pleased with this.

Corinna

Love the outfit. Sorry to hear about your leg.



I cannot wait for next years girl's weekend. I had a blast. Thanks everyone

 

[Ware Bears]

Glad you all had a great time hope your leg is better today Corinna.

omg Karen !!!!!! you forgot the fizz, thats just not accaptable hun

I know, Nat - must try harder... I had 2 bottles in the fridge and even had a thermo sleeve on the one so it'd be cool when I arrived...

I think I'll have to make a little checklist up for her next year Nat (and the wine will be at the top of the list)

I look forward to receiving my checklist, Mandy!!! No really, I need one...

Thanks for a fab weekend girls. I really enjoyed myself and I think I am now addicted to cocktails!

It was lovely to spend time chatting in Bar Estilo, Theresa! Repeat after me " Strawberry Dack-er-ee..."

ETA: Just saw this post and glad you're feeling better. Try and get some arnica gel (health food stores sell it) to put on the bruise, Corinna - it'll bring the colour down and help it heal more quickly...

Beautiful outfit! Much nicer cut of dress than the red one we looked at - it'll look lovely for the wedding...

Thank you...

What she said...

 

[Chilly]

Nat, Joh and I set off to Reflex after a quick trip back to the hotel for various changes in shoes, cardies, and bags. Joh threatened to wear her crocs and Nat decided to solider on in her high red heels.

We joined the queue and once inside we had a sit down so Nat could recover from having to stand for so long. Once suitably refreshed, helped by some breezers we hit the dance floor. And so a pattern started, dance, have a sit down with a breezer, visit the ladies, discuss the terrible outfits other people were wearing, dance, have a sit down with a breezer, visit the ladies, rate the men out of ten and so on.

We headed back to the hotel just before 3am, we deliberated taking a cone back with us but decided they were too heavy. Nat had some issues with the cobbles but we made it in the end.

I really enjoyed chatting in Bar Estilo too, and was amazed that it stayed open so late

How's your toe this morning hun ? Have you been able to make a start on sorting out your bedroom ?

[wilma-bride]

I thought I had posted it actually - will have to check when I get home - and, yes, I am still here but only in body. My spirit seems to have got up and left, in fact I think it may still be in bed asleep

 

[CHEK]

Look's and sounds like a fantastic weekend was had by all

I am intrigued!!!!

How's your toe this morning hun ? Have you been able to make a start on sorting out your bedroom ?

Have taken my toe to the Docs, Mandy. When Richard had a look at it last night, he took the nail varnish off and it looked even worse than we thought. Doc thinks it's infected so I've got a course of anti-bees for now and have promised faithfully to get it seen to when I return...

Bedroom almost finished - just taking a breather...

 

[Strommie]

Looks and sounds like you all had a brilliant time. Love the photos
