Getting lost again!

Just to remind people that we have a 10% off offer on our Braids and Beads party at the moment when booked in November - this offer will only be on until the end of the week and then we'll have a fab new offer on for December, and can you believe, January 2008! We are still VERY busy and it's great fun. We thought we'd sorted out our getting lost problem once and for all with our fab sat nav - however, the system failed us last night. The weather here in North Wales was truly disgusting last night and it was lashing down cold rain - ugh! Off we went to our party booked at 5pm and followed the sat nav - to nowhere - yes, it took us to somewhere were there weren't even any houses! Never mind we thought, we'll phone the Party Girl's mum - however, as sometimes happens in more rural areas our mobile phones had no signal. As luck would have it I spotted a good, old fashioned phone box and happened to have a pocket full of change so I hopped out of the van (in freezing rain) enthusiastically only to be greated by a broken telephone! So, we were in the middle of nowhere, with a broken phonebox and a dodgy sat nav signal and we had 15 mins to go before we were starting the party. I just decided to drive around the area randomly in the hope that something amazing would happen and then in the distance Gemma spotted a lone pink balloon (she's well trained in such activities!) and believe it or not it was the Party Girl's house with 1 balloon tied to, and desperately clinging in the wind to, the front door. The party went off without a hitch and as the girls were still eating as we arrived the fact that we were slightly late went unnoticed. Another batch of fleece scarfs were designed too so all in all a great time was had by all. We're off later to make TShirts with the girls in a party in Bethesda - my, we do get around ........ Before I go we just want to say:
  • Happy Birthday Tina, 21 again. Tina is not only our very lovely sister in law, she is also our very clever accountant. See you later after our party for your party Tina!
  • Congratulations to Sheila, our marketing expert, as she's very happily given birth to a little baby boy - Well done Sheila and welcome to little Alex xx

What a happy day! Cheerio xx http://www.makeovermates.co.uk/ 01492 573432
