Hen weekend in Leeds

Hello Ladies

At the weekend i went to Leeds for James sisters hen/birthday weekend and i thought i would share with you all. 
We stayed in the Leeds Travel Lodge, which was grimy to say the last but there were beds, showers and a bar open until 4am - for £20 you cant complain.

I organised a scavenger hunt for everyone, i made little cards and each one had a clue to somewhere and a task to fulfil. The girls had to follow these clues, riddles and challenges which led them around Leeds city centre and do silly tasks. 
These included buying sweetcorn from Leeds Market, going to the Corn Exchange, Leeds Town Hall, buying tights, cupcakes, red lipstick, wearing masks, getting photos taken in certain poses and visiting harvey nicks and trying on some very expensive clothing and getting photographic proof (we nearly got chucked out).

At Leeds Market - photo taken by a policeman!
Wearing our lovely masks 
We went to Tiger Tiger for a yummy meal, i had Thai Green Curry which was seriously lush.



We then went for a session of karaoke at a Chinese/bar/karaoke place. 
The venue was bizarre, the decor looked more like a room from a brothel than a kareoke booth - there were lots of Chinese songs and the words were badly translated, but this made it even more fun, drinks were super cheap. We had all the obvious hen party tack which i had bought for everyone so we spent the night drinking cheap and nasty vodka cocktails out of penis straws, as you do.  I would recommend visiting OK karaoke rather than this place to you all if you fancy a classier experience hehe.
 We then went to Revolution on call lane and got cocktails which was packed and we all fancied a dance, so off we went to the gay bar Queens court, this was fabulous we got the chance to have a boogie with lots of young gay dancers (they have some serious energy!). I used to visit here quite often in my uni days, i am your typical fag hag, i have far too many crazy gay friends.

We were exhausted after the days scavenger hunt antics and sore feet cut our night out short - sorry for that ladies! 

We had a fabulous time though and it was so nice to have a girlie weekend, i have not had one in so long. I spent the day on Sunday gardening and raking leaves - not very glamorous. 

Did you do anything fun this weekend?

Keeping my post lady busy today!

Hello again,
I'm very unsure on correct blog eticate but i am going to go crazy and do two posts in a day. I am doing so because i have received an absolute mound of parcels today and i am very excited by them all. If you go on my last post you will see what i got this morning off the lovely Gina, which was very exciting.
My next bits and bobs are a random assortment of things.

I have been with my boyfriend James for over four years now and he has a 5 year old Son, Ben. We see Ben at weekends and he stays over with us. When we bought our house his was the first room that we decorated and I still am finding cute little things to go in it.

This is before we moved in his toys!
The poor boy however did not have a door to his bedroom until last weekend when James finally got round to putting a new one in (Coincidently this weekend he cried when he went to bed because he was scared so we had to leave the door open haha), he was so excited with his new door we ordered him this:

I don't know if you are aware but small boys grow very very very fast - we had to go and buy him a whole new wardrobe last week because he had shot out of everything we had bought him at Christmas, he is only 5 and he now wears age 6-7 clothes. I saw this on little woods Ebay for 99p, Bargain.

I am organising a scavenger hunt for an activity for Katie's Hen weekend (Katie is James sister) and i am putting together goody bags. I have had a few things delivered today *warning willies*

Handmade willy soaps

I ordered these little bags to put a little hen charm in that i also got today

Mini sweet bags, much smaller than i expected but still cute. 
 I still have loads more bits ordered for the party bags but they have not come yet, the next lot are very willy themed and i will update when they arrive!

And Mother bear sent me some clothes for work as she saw some bargains in M&S because shopping round here is pants. She sent two pairs of trousers, two shirts and a pair of court shoes.



These are all the exciting things that came through my door this morning and i hope this was not too boring for you. I am STILL waiting for the carpet fitter to turn up :(

Much Love
xx

P.s if you would like to receive one pink willy soap (i ordered a few too many) leave a comment below and I will send one out to a lucky lady ha ha x
