oooh yes we had a lovely day! i think ive walked miles and miles! and had a lovely tour of the NEC grounds when i got there thanks to me getting on the wrong bus, then having to go back to the car for my phone then getting on the wrong bus AGAIN! and then i had a lovely tour of half the country on the way home, unfortunately not the right half as the satnav woman had decided to send me in completely the opposite direction to home...hence me not long getting in! :cheesy:

oh and edit to say NEVER go shopping with Ketty and Elaine....they are sooo naughty :yes:

[feistygal]

We've just walked back in the door too. I am totally knackered as we did all of Halls 4,5,6,7,& 8! DS on the other hand isn't knackered in typical child fashion and got given lots of freebies!

Back again tomorrow or Tuesday to do the bits I missed.

Managed not to find any suppliers that won't supply to internet businesses which was great.

[Arianna]

We got home around 4pm and it's a good thing we did - Eithne had a bad bout of colic cause she wouldn't burp when we fed her at the NEC and when we pulled into the Stafford services. LOL Was a very difficult 2 hours. :-(

Was fab to meet you, Elaine, Olive_Oil and Ketty!

Elaine I hope you have your feet up hun!!!

Wow - your brain must be fried - I did hall 5 and that's about my concentration span! LOL at your DS getting freebies - mine wants to come next time! He was quite impressed with his Spot bookmark though!

I didn't think about it to be honest because of having DS with me.

Didn't realise it was still open on Thursday, I might go then instead as I am shattered and just remembered I can't go tomorrow either - doh!

[Mary Poppins]

I have got to apologise to you all. We left late and didn't get to the NEC until 11.30 but I did try and rush to Hall 5 (we went in at Hall 17 and got lost). By the time we made it over there, it was past noon and I didn't think you would all be there still. I didn't take details of the lunch time meeting place as I thought we would have been there in time for 11. I wish now that I had got peoples mobile numbers.

I am so sorry as I would have loved to meet you all. Hope you all had a good day. I am shattered now. Saw the police come rushing into the jewellery hall - somebody had obviously been pinching stuff. One of the traders that we know said that last year someone took a large diamond and swallowed it.

Have a huge stack of brochures to go through and a mountain of gemstones that I purchased.

[knotjustjigs]

oooh how exciting! could you buy the gemstones MP? Dont need to apologise, next time :)

Claire thursday is the last day :happy72:

Ketty x

[Mary Poppins]

Yes you can buy the gemstones whilst you are there. Next time I need to take a trolley with me though.

Any advice on the best bits???
