Ellifreya

I’ve gone for the facial too. Wooohooooo! Can’t wait. I may have severe black bags round my eyes by Sunday, so seemed the most sensible option to try to rectify Saturday nights damage.

I was just confused because it sounds like a delicate subject now and I can’t understand why. I have probably only read half the posts as usual and got myself confused.

Look forward to meeting everyone on the pamper day.

Hi Lorri,
Just as an aside, have you tried any of the beauty treatments at Stockport College? The Heaton Chapel Campus has all kinds of facials and massages for great prices, I used to go for an hour's massage for £10. It's the students carrying out the treatments but under close supervision and quite often you get totally spoiled with a couple of students and the tutor working on you....bliss !  The treatments run through the day or evening.

I am afraid it would take much more than a facial to help me to look gorgeous. But will give it a go and see what happens.

Hi,
The details of those who've emailed have all been passed across and the therapist will contact you direct regarding the exact treatment and timing - everyone wanted 3pm or thereabouts so this will be organised in order of contact.

The therapist is Cherry (who some of you already know), we're hoping she'll join us at Shell Island too, where we'll have a Holistic Tent.

HI Ladies....

Just to let those of you who have written to Chrissie know,  that I've got emails with your details on and I'll be making contact as soon as I have confirmation from the first two people on the list.

If anyone else is interested but has not been able to get a time with me, then drop me a line on here or on facebook. If you live near me, then I work from home and you could see me there.

Otherwise, me and Chrissie are looking at me coming to Shell and having a tent there - how lovely!!

See you all soon

Cherry x

I thought it was meant to be a leisure break? Have to dress up every day for work. Don't do that at weekends!

Don't worry, the evening dress is in October (MUST get that trip up on site, tsk tsk tsk ).  "Smart" is fine for this one. 
We'll be sending out an email tomorrow on this with further info.
