I bought the sombrero off ebay :( So you could always try looking at some last minute auctions and it might make it in time.
The poncho: I got the material from Dunelm in Fforestfach retail park (next to MFI there I think) along Carmathan Road and then cut a big hole in it for my head :D

The hat was about £5 I think. Material was a variety of dark creams and some black lines and I can't remember how much :o Think around £5 but can't be certain.

Post #1914...

For those of you with Sat Nav or PC based mapping software

Location: SA71 5EG
Grid ref: SR970973
X: 197100m Y: 197300m
Lat: 51:38:16N (51.6379) Lon: 4:56:02W (-4.9338)
 
In other news I will now be heading down in a H-reg 1L Polo which has a tendency to run on three cylinders :eek:

The alarm fob for the focus has just broke, if all goes to plan then I will have a new fob tomorrow and all will be well.... otherwise its time to feel the 45bhp powwwwwer
 
Right, here we go boys and girls!

I can get hold of:

3x 50 packs of Cadburys Highlights, at 60% off list price

in excess of 1000 plastic cups (NOT hot drinks ones though :() @ £3ish per 100

Packs of 100 cutlery sets (knife/fork/spoon) for about £3

Paper plates + paper bowls, again packs of 100 and around £3

Packs of foil platter things, perfect for serving heaps of BBQ swag on, again for not much per pack.

Also there are napkins, but whether people want/need these I dont know.

I can get another 10% off these prices. "around" means a few pence each way. I was ultra-busy today and couldnt find the time to make out a full list of exact prices.

I cannot afford to buy enough for everyone unfortunately :(, but I can either get one pack of everything and have it first-come first served, or perhaps get some sort of kitty on the go.

I have access to enough of these materials to make sure everyone has a plate/cup/cutlery for the whole weekend, should the money situation work out right.

Thoughts?
 
Might.. just might have car issues. Will take it into the garage first thing tomorrow morning for a checkup. A few times over the past month the car hasn't passed its electronics test and has ran in limp-home mode until I've turned off the engine and restarted. Driving tonight to my cisco class the car dropped into limp-home mode for about 10 seconds whilst going up a hill, after the engine management light had flickered a few times. Its not a biggie I hope, probably something they'll tell me to ignore, but I'm uncomfortable about the thought of driving 250 miles without it having been checked out first after such an event. Last thing I want is to have the car switch into limp home mode on the motorway :eek: :D

Consider them purchased.

For you chocolate addicts, I will buy the Hot Chocolate :)
 
I'm guessing then we don't need to bring the above items anymore? Just pay for them when we get there?
 
Yeah that should be fine. I'm still bringing the pint cups though ;)

Oh yes, does anybody have any blackcurrant they can bring then? Or am I grabbing a sly bottle of Ribena? :D
