There better not be any flaffery of trains tomorrow for getting home!! I refuse to be stranded and miss my first day of college, no matter how many pretty things I've bought ;)

Well there you go then, just tell mr train controller that and we've nothing to worry about haha xx
 
Lol thanks :) some would say I'm a big old girl I like to say I'm modern lol either way in the flesh I'm short and look about 12 lol compared to my 31 years

Ah- join the club. I'm also a short 12 looking sort. Even my doctor refuses to believe I'm 26 lol.
 
I'm now wondering how many geeks I will be walking past or queuing up with tomorrow. I'll be the excited one on the S2 queue, if I see Holly!

I'm drafting an email to Mr. Underground Train Director/Manager now. (Whoever he might be)
Might have to have a strong word with the London Mayor too (when I recall his name lmao) :)

Come on love, all of us will be the excited ones in the S2 queue!!! That's no way to narrow it down :)

We should wear Geek sticky labels with our names and avatars on- then I'll recognise you x

Haha. That's the one! Will make sure he knows not to make my journey home a longwinded palaver.
I will look out for a waffle eater in the queue- i'll be the one that looks like my picture :green:
 
I'll be 'checking in' to Olympia's facebook page when I get there. I'll also be heading for the coffee stand as I'll need my caffeine from my early start!

Talking of early starts, I should really go to bed. I don't think I'll get much sleep though!
 
Morning peeps. 4 hrs to go. Train in an hour so should get there about half nine. God I hate these dark mornings xxx
 
Hope you all have a fantastic time and safe journeys 🚂🚗🚲x
 
Woohoo hubby says I can go...

(Lol I had a op on Tuesday on knee and was touch and go whether I'd be ok)

But he says I can as long as rest and don't stay ages..

I'm so happy :) ((insert silly happy dance here)) :p
 
I'm here, queuing. Who is already here? X
 
Just on train at Kensington what's the cue like :)
 
I got there about 9:45 and went straight in, straight to CND and waited about 15 minutes. There was nobody anywhere else, lol. A few people from other stands came to ask why we were queuing and when i said new colours, they said, is that all? Haha.

Trying to get out at about 11:35 was a completely different matter. It was absolute chaos! They should have a small barrier to the side for people heading out.

I spent about £400 in 2 hours and loved every minute, lol. I got everything i wanted. New shellac colours, holiday shellac, rosebud (ran out), scentsations deal with limited edition vanilla scented solar oil - love!, 11 packs of minx for price of 10 and some pretty new ones, sleep-in rollers for myself, a bag/box from Roo and new just out matching brush case, 17 OPI polishes and Eve Taylor facial brushes.

I did hear that there was a problem with all the card machines going down, so some people couldn't buy things and the ATM machines i saw were out of order too. I had cash so can't tell you first hand.

I could so have spent more, maybe i'll go back tomorrow, haha.

P.S. Free Edge, i'm sure i saw you walking past the CND stand when i was in the queue! Grey jacket? xx
 
Did you manage to get a nose at the eve taylor body products flawless? x
 
a very long day for me (especially as i was on a girls nite out last nite and stayed much later than wanted lol)

anyway i got there at 9.50 an walked straight in, headed for CND and the queue was huge! queued for about 40 mins but was watching demos for part of it so all was good...got the new shellac colours, holiday colours ,scentsations boxes then went on to buy pink couch roll, lots of glitter pots, waxing bits, nail stamping kit, elemis kit and lots more, havent unpacked all the bags yet!! loved every minute.....now just need to sit and play!!
 
I had a lovely time! :)
Got there 10ish, looked at everything! My sister got down to her knickers and had a spray tan with Tan solutions! Bought testers for £2 from them. The blonde girl tanning was really nice and gave me gun advice!
Got a tester from Sunless Solution, the lady that served me was so lovely and helpful! So I bought a weely case from them for only £35! Total bargain! And my machine, solutions, towels n bits fit! I LOVE it! So much more professional than my ugly suit case! And its still light!
Got my scratch magazine, info on Nouveau lash and lash perfect, didn't see Lauren Goodyer but then I saw u had to BUY something to get a pic with her on twitter which I thought was taking the mick!
My sister also got her teeth whitened with Beaming white and her teeth looked lovely!

70% of girls had buns! They were all dressed lovely and made me feel like I didn't have enough tan on or wearing enough make-up! Lol. I went with £15!!!! ( My sister bought me the case) and it did make me want to cry that I couldn't really by anything but I still had loads of fun and really enjoyed myself!
We left at 2pm and it was getting manic!
Fun fun times! :D

Got the bits I wanted from S2, got there nice and early so only queued for around 15/20mins but was watching Holly so I was happy. Then nipped over to our lovely busybee who did glitzylips on me (hilarious!), had a mooch then left around 12.45.

Didn't see any Geeks but then I have no idea what most of you look like Lol!! And if any of you saw me, you should have come over and said Hi! I went over to say hi to Bry and bought a Layla holo polish from her stand :D (hope you did well today Bry!!)
Then saw Samantha (Mrs Geek) on the way out and said hi to her too

Fab day :D

The queue was huge when I got there - albeit at about 11! it took around 1.5 hours, but I am home and all my new colours are on the colourpops looking at me.... what colour do I do my own nails now lmao!! :eek:

I have to say S2 stand was great but they could do with an exhibition hall all to themselves!! people were walking past saying OMG! is that just for Shellac! I will order it on line tomorrow!! But you know sometimes its just great standing talking to other like minded (addicts) people, and watching Holly (fingernail fixer) do her magic was great too!
