Feisty little madam, is she, this D person  :mwaha: ? And since when have you been too chicken to do anything? I think we oughta dare her, in fact double dare her, to at least give D a hand nicking the tree, errm,  repositioning the tree I mean of course.

Bet you planted the idea though  :mwaha:

I'm much too far away from the tree, tucked in the corner as I am LLL.  Couldn't possibly give her a hand  

For once, it wasn't me H  :mwaha:

*bok bok*   :mwaha:

You are not glued into the corner, JJ, you can come out of it, you know! Lame excuse, humph.
" Insert proper chicken clucking noise here " ( had to think for a moment what Helen's post was meant to be )

Kes, can we have sound bites, please??

I'm bright yellow you know.

Like big bird?

JoJo I came to the Marina today, and I walked around the huge snowman and wandered over the road, and looked in the shops by the bookshop and I could not find you grrrrr!! was there an upstairs bit? if there was then there was no signs telling us theres more upstairs....very poorly done.
Anyway, I bought a bar of CP soap,handmade, from a stall near the fountain,she had a lot of bath bombs and soap.I asked who made it all, and she said it came from someone in Wales.
I walked away and then unwrapped the soap and to my amazement there was no ingredients label,no label at all actually, so basically if I used the soap at home and had a reaction to god knows what, theres no label,no address, and no contact for the maker of the soap.
I was not able to get back to the stall, but I assume she will be there nxt weekend,and I think its discracefull that this person is doing this,breaking all the rules and putting people at risk.
Especially as we are all working so very hard to get our assessments,and to comply with all the rules and regs.
Any suggestions? maybe we have a word with her next weekend.? I am willing to, Its makes me very annoyed......anyway I hope you did very well and I WILL FIND YOU  :mwaha:

How annoying Michaela - now you know why we've all been moaning like mad at the organisers all ruddy weekend!!!  For next week, you go past the enormous snowman (if he's inflated - apparently if it's raining they can't blow him up  ) and the "Bratwurst" stall to the Aquabar (round building on 2 floors with a domed top).  We're in there - it's got "Beachdowner Christmas Market" or something written on a sign somewhere 
It did have a Christmas tree outside the door today (wonder who nicked that and put it there  and it wasn't me  ) and we tied a load of balloons around the doors etc.  We've all moaned at the organisers but it seems to go in one ear & out the other, so what's been done has mostly been done by the stallholders.

The annoying part is that there's a sign saying "warm indoor market" which is in an unused shop under the boardwalk!  Nothing to do with our side of it. 

Anyhow, there were more people around today and I don't think some people did too badly - wasn't much good for me, but hopefully next weekend will be better.

I know which stall you got the soap from - I had a little snoop about this afternoon (was probably standing next to you!).  There were some very unpleasant looking m&p soaps about too.  They were labelled properly but without a maker's name/details which I didn't think you could do either!  It's quite frightening really from what I've read on here & other forums - and not having ever done a market before, I'm quite shocked to have seen it with my own eyes - but there seems to be a lot of people that blatantly flout the "rules" and to get away with it 

ooo bugger, I saw the ruddy sign saying warm indoor market.....and it was out side the calvim klein shop, or near by. and I looked in the shops as that was where the sign was alluding too, grrrrr, I am very disappointed, there was NO indication that there was anymore upstairs, Its really shoddy !!OK hows your memory then......5 ft 8 with tied back, very fuzzy afro type hair, but blondish, very pale, slight blue tinged face lol, black pants and a frenetic, windmill armed toddler with white blonde hair, out doing the whirling dervish dancers ,flingimg me around like a twig, and tantruming every 10 seconds, and thats a good day for marcus!
I have a resigned and hopeless look on my face, whilst trying to find an invisible warm market.
Do you remember me now??? OH is also there trying to control the dervish.
He he !!!

Can't say as I remember avoiding seeing you  :mwaha:  There were quite a lot of blue people with manic toddlers around though.

Right, ignore anything on or under the boardwalk.  You're heading for the enormous inflatable snowman & the Santa grotto across the road.  Factory shop & Reebok outlet to the left of the "square" (although it's not square, is it?), to the right is a Chandlers and a boat agent.  Right at the end is the Aquabar.  Got it now?  It's soooooo obvious    :mwaha:

sooo obvious I would never have found that!!! really had no idea there was anything there, ok I know now....gawd its a hard life being blonde :mwaha:    I will put the manic one onto the nearest most expensive boat I can find, and pull up the anchor hehehe!! loook , play with the boat sweety.........
hope you did well ish today.............

I think quite a few kiddywinkies came close to being dunked in the water today  :mwaha:

Right, I'm not convinced you've got this yet    Behind Santa's "grotto" (it's supposed to be a pirate ship isn't it?  ) is some water with a few boats moored.  You can only walk to either the left of the water and there's a pub at the far end, or to the right and there's the Aquabar.

Got it yet?  :mwaha: 

Danielle, where are you?  I'm not explaining this well am I?

I almost made the money back for the stall, so pretty disappointing but it's a good learning experience, and I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying being down there even though it's boring at times.  There's a really nice group of stallholders in there so there's a nice sense of camaraderie IMO - mind you, we have got a bar with mulled wine & cider, and there's music & heating.

  you just explained that so well, yes I do know exactly where you mean now...silly me went over the road to the bookshop side, please be convinced that I do know where you are now, and I will be there next weekend, I only wished I had put your mobile no on my phone today, oooh well...... :mwaha:
