Autumn Bash 30th Sept - 2nd Oct (Eliot's birthday party)

[Diane]

Elliot says a HUGE THANK YOU for all the lovely cards and pressies you gave him and for making his 9th birthday so special. We had a great weekend and the weather was just superb on friday and saturday. I'm not sure what the flies were that have bitten me but I've got some horrendous blisters from the bites I wont scare you with the photo I have just taken of one

Ady - I so wish I'd seen the pooping dog

Big thanks to everyone who helped put the marquee up and take it down - what a laugh - i'm looking forward to seeing the pics

See y'all again soon.

Di, Iain, Cameron, Elliot, Emily and Hannah

Jeez, am I glad we arrived late, can you imagine Hannah in there

[B*Witched Blingo]

yup and yup.

The girls had about 3 showers in one day. They had a hell of a good time though.

[Debs and David]

OMG don't talk to me about bites, I've just counted 15 on my arms and legs they are horrendous, itching like crazy.

[B*Witched Blingo]

Will calomine lotion work on the bites. Or have a shallow salt bath. Another is to put pure perfume on the bites. All of these methods dry up the bites quickly. Hope your ok

[Northern Bongolow]

Something else I thought, it is so nice that a woman alone turn up at such an event and feel looked after, thanks to all who did.

this is also very important to me jo as chell sometimes goes to meets alone or with the kids,a few of us were chatting about this over the weekend (girls and boys).
i think its a real credit to all involved that solos of whatever sex feel able to attend, and be included in the fun, and more important feel safe.

tried perfume,tried vinegar,only thing that seems to work is keeping bite areas cool -not easy in an overheated office -apparently we could also try toothpaste, deodorant sticks,raw onions,lightly boiled cabbage,oatmeal or basil leaves -or really go for it and "hold a lighter as close as possible it really does stop the itching" and if you have some handy "let fire ants run over them" will try the toothpaste option when i get home and let you know.

if you had gone swimming with the little uns deb the flies couldnt bite through the thick layer of mud, maybe next year eh
