The Hemparty Special!
special, I was, I was lucky enough to be invited to the hen do.
first weekend away from Bubba, wasn't it?
know, it was, yeah. It was, yeah, I was sad to leave her but I had a great time, I'm not going to lie.
Yes, we did. We did.
so good, honestly,
how we start, how should we do this? The Hem Party Lowdown. How do you want to start? Do you want me to go into what what we did? Or, how should we do this?
So I
Yeah?
start by, I think you tell people what you're kind of expecting or what, because obviously you don't.
good idea.
do you so actually
No?
like normally when you think of hen do you think of like booze filled weekends
Yeah.
mean i mean it was it was for some of us
Ha ha ha! Yep. Yeah, so I booked,
weekend
so I basically said so my two best friends planned it two of my bridesmaids so they I had spoken to them already to say the kind of things I wanted to do. So we kind of toyed with some ideas. Originally, I actually looked at one of the Butlin's weekends just because I love that whole, as you know from Saturday Night, the whole kind of, you know, Holiday camp party
box
Yeah, we're all having fun And Oh, brilliant. The hot, that whole vibe. So I was like, I'd love a butlin's weekend. I've never been. Then I started reading into them and read it's basically like 40, 50 year old women that arrive on a Friday and start drinking and writing through till Sunday. And I was like, no, you know what? That's just, it's not, it's not for me actually. And apparently there's like people being sick in the swimming pool and everything. So I saw that on a few, few reviews.
I know. So. Apparently it's just like, yeah, it's like, you know, like Club 30, like whatever it is, like 18 to 30s. It's like that but for like There's a lot. It's like a older clientele basically. So I was like, no. So a couple of years ago, we actually did I planned a hemp party for one of my friends and she wanted to go to Bournemouth. So we booked like a house, like a big house to fit everyone in. And I loved that. I thought it was, it was really good.
So I was like, Hmm, I feel like that's something I would wanna do. So started looking at places. And we looked at like Brighton and stuff but it was because a lot of my friends and family are in Norfolk, I was like it, some of these places are just so far for everyone to go to. We looked at Blackpool as well and again a few people put me off Blackpool because they were like Hannah, have you ever been to Blackpool? and they were like it's a terrible place.
Apologies to any listeners from Blackpool.
I was about to say it's the arsehole of the world, but I
literally that is what I've heard, is to grim.
hopefully no one lives there.
which I didn't expect that. So yeah, so we looked at a few places, but then I was like, you know what people come from Norfolk So let's just try and go somewhere accessible So in the end I chose Cambridge just because I know it's a nice city I've only ever been there a couple of times for weddings. I haven't actually really been like for leisure
as well, like, I
Exactly. It was bang in the middle between Northampton and Norfolk and I feel like everybody's journey was like an hour and 15 Which was perfect
it was
good amount of time. So I chose the house, and I found the house, I kind of went around and said to everybody who wants to come, found a house that fitted everybody, and then I left it to them to organize it. I gave them some kind of ideas about maybe things I'd want to do, but they kind of rolled with it and actually I think in the end all the things they did were their ideas, which was really nice.
So yeah, so I think I was just expecting, yeah, probably, yeah, some like activities in Cambridge, stuff at the house. That kind of vibe, really. A bit more of a girls weekend, I would say, than a hem party.
like a party, party
Yeah. Yeah.
was so good though, I think they really hit the nail on the head,
It did.
over the three days, I feel like they ticked all the boxes,
So good, wasn't it? So we actually so Hayley came Saturday, so I'll start from the beginning. So,
Yeah. Start from the beginning.
we didn't get there till about 5, because you couldn't get check in to the house till 4. And the girls wanted to go in and do some decor bits, which was so nice. So when we turned
Oh, it was so good. Their decorations were amazing.
Weren't they? They had like a
So good.
of like, everybody had sent photos. So there was a wall of like all different photos of everybody which was really cool.
Yeah.
yeah, just all like Hindu decks wasn't there? And
Yeah. And they balloon, they did like a little balloon
arch.
like a,
A
a photo wall, but they, yeah, the balloon arch was so good though. Sometimes they look really shit, but there's, it was so nice. Oh, really good.
And then we had like all little goodie bags on the table, which had our names on. And there
So sweet.
in there, which was
Yeah things is like actual useful things as well. So like, there was like a, and things we used over the weekend, like hair clip, there was like a bag of sweetss a glass, things like that.
the
Oh my god. They came in handy. Silent Disco. They were amazing.
Yeah, so basically what we did was, we, they then laid out all this food for like a buffet on the side, which is really nice. So we ate, and then we went and got changed, which they told me to bring like a nice white outfit. Had some photos in front of the photo wall. And then they were like, oh, we're gonna go, like, I wasn't, wasn't allowed in the lounge, basically. And I went in, and there was just all, like, lights and everything.
And they'd got all like the foam glow stick things and glow sticks and
good.
for your face and stuff. It was so cool. And they'd hired the Silent Disco and it was so good and it worked really well. And we had a brilliant time. We literally started it at about 7. 30 and we were dancing until eventually at like midnight. We're like, we need to go to bed because we've got an early start the next day. So it was just so much fun. And what I loved about it is you can have two or three different Playlist playing at the same time and you just change your channel So
Yeah, so good.
stuff they you can listen to different music
Yeah, I love that. And the funniest thing about it is like, obviously everyone's like giving it, well, it's like, the headphones on. You take your headphones off and just listen, everyone's like, Uhhhhhhhh. They're singing,
The
and they're so out of tune. It's so funny. And it's got this like, clash of different music.
if you listen to some of the videos, like literally
Oh my gosh,
in
this is so bad.
like everyone's singing at the top of their lungs.
Yeah.
So, yeah, so we did that. And then the Saturday is when we then we got up in the morning, got taxis into Cambridge. We did punting. We to Prezzo's for lunch, which is when Hayley then joined us.
Yep, met you at Prezo.
you? You can fill us in on that. In
the wedding.
And then and then we did, which I loved, was would you just say it was a treasure hunt?
Yeah, it was kind of like a treasure scavenger hunt kind of thing. So you had to kind of like, it was an app wasn't it? So there was lots of different clues and things you had to find to get points. Basically, all of these like,
didn't you? Like, find, like,
yeah. Like a sign.
yeah, like
a pub or a restaurant or something. Take a photo with like a bike or a phone box.
Yeah.
loads of stuff like that or the, the funniest one was Hannah had to find someone that looked like her
god.
and we found this woman and we were like, Oh, because she had red hair, didn't she? So you were like, Oh, do you know, Sorry, this is really like
Random.
can, we're doing a scavenger hunt. I need to, Do this, like, get points, have a photo of someone that looks like me. And cause she's got red hair and this girl goes like, Oh my God how awkward.
Yeah.
a bit awkward. Can I cover my face? So she took a photo with Hannah, but covered her face. I was like, what are you? It's a celebrity.
was like this is awkward. If it
Yeah, this is awkward. And we were all like, what? Is it?
of course, like, go
Yeah.
of thing. How weird.
So when she covered her face up though, it was quite funny.
was she a celebrity or something? You were like, does she know
Oh.
Yeah, so that was really fun. But actually, in the end, we found out that I,
Oh yeah,
things seriously, right? So one of the
we weren't even allowed to stop for a fucking drink, right?
We literally, one of the things was you need to get a photo of your group with a cocktail. So everyone's banging on about, well, there's this bar, we can get cocktail here. And I'm like, no, we ain't got time to stop for a cocktail. I'll run in Sainsbury's and get a canned cocktail. Actually, I think that was your idea. You said we could get canned. I was
Yeah, get a can of cocktail.
So we drank it in the street. Because who's got time? Then we found out the other team, who, by the way, we beat by 500 points. They got 300, we got 800. Just putting it in there.
no surprise.
surprise.
No surprise.
for an hour, having their cocktails,
Googling answers? It's
the answers. I felt like they should
awful.
if I'm honest. And I
I think so.
if they'd have beaten us, but they didn't. They didn't beat
Nah, there was no chance though, not with you as the team leader.
no, not at all. No, I was like military, you know.
Yeah,
We need to
Operation.
Move quicker!
Quicker! Faster! You guys run ahead, I'll get the cocktails and meet you at the road.
Literally, keep running! Keep running! I'll catch up!
So funny.
So we did that and then we went back to the house. We got Chinese. Good old Chinese.
love a Chinese.
Lovatronis and then we, oh, and then I didn't know what was happening, so I didn't even know what I was wearing. So the girls were like, oh, do you want to see your outfit? Bought it out and it was a 1920s, like what the girls called
Flapper dress Yeah
flapper dress. Which was really nice. So we all got changed and then I still didn't know what was happening And they were like, what do you think it is? I was like, well, maybe some kind of like dance class like Charleston dance class or I don't know karaoke or I don't know and then it transpired. It was a murder mystery, which was really fun. Oh just reverting back By the way, so everybody had the slapper girl dresses on Hayley tell us about your outfit
So, you know I wanted to go against the grain a bit and I knew that my character was a man So I took it quite seriously that it was fancy dress and I actually dressed up as a 1920s
Gangsta. You
except I just look like Charlie Chaplin
look brilliant.
And a moustache, and a shirt, and everything on, it's so jokes. Fake cigar. Oh, thanks. My cigar. Oh dear, it was so funny. You never know. It's a real
were getting ready I walked past Hayley's room and Hayley was like, oh, I need to iron my shirt. And I thought, what's she wearing a shirt for? And then she rocks down. Honestly, it was hilarious.
pinstripe shirt, wasn't it? Oh god. Oh,
brilliant. Like, you
so funny.
Like, you went all out. It was, it was
And, I ended up being the murderer.
You, yeah you was, and I got it right. Was it me and Beth? I couldn't
Yeah, you and Beth, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, I changed my mind right at the last moment. So, it was you.
yeah. I was dodgy.
in the room, was the murderer.
That's it.
yeah,
it. Dodgy.
fun. And then we just couldn't resist.
so good.
back in the PJs, didn't we? Which we all
Yep,
which was lovely. And then we did the silent disco again.
it was so good. Yeah, it was amazing.
silent disco and the party dancers. Which Shout out to Hayley Coombs with her army roll.
Yeah, special rendition of Oops Upside Your Head.
Literally, we would tell the story, you gotta tell the story. I'm
all got down and everyone was going a bit off piste with the way that you like swing round on the floor and then Your friend Hayley got a bit frightened so she rolled out.
an
She literally rolled out. She's not tapped out, she rolled out.
She literally, she was like, I'm out of here, and did an army roll out of the line. Out of
And my core just couldn't take anymore because I've, you know, recently had a baby and I was like, Oh, my core!
Yeah, all I could
And my pelvic floor!
as Yeah, my core doesn't work! My core can't
It was so good. It was so good.
yes, we did that. And then, we, I didn't go to bed till like 2am that night.
I know, yeah. We all went up and you're like, oh, let's have a tea. It's like, bloody hell.
table at the end of the night. Just,
It was nice though, we were all like, chatting. Heh,
with one of the girls, and then everybody just started gradually coming in, and you all just stood around the table with your headphones on, dancing to
listening.
So, I couldn't hear anything, but everyone was just doing different dances, because they were listening
Oh,
was
so funny.
So, yeah, we just ended up chatting until two in the morning. And then Yeah, got up the next day. The next day was quite nice. It was chilled, wasn't it? We had a right
Yeah.
sat around the kitchen table having a chinwag, having a cup of tea, having some biscuits and then and
Sorry. Oh my god, I've been waiting for this. I've been waiting. So we went
you tell the story
to this really nice pub.
A lovely country pub
It was, you know, your idyllic country pub in, you know, just outside of Ely. Beautiful surroundings. And it was on the top of the hill, like, it had wooden legs.
leg dog.
And we sat out the back of this pub. By the way, being sarcastic, it was really outside.
The lights were off, there was no music on. We were the only people
And we were, we were like, Oh, they saw us coming, but they were rubbing their hands. Oh, we've got a, we've got a busy day today in the kitchen
busy
and I'm not sure they could quite keep up with the demand because well, let's just say their microwave has been quaking in its boots that day. So I mean I made the mistake of going When you walk to the toilet you walk past the kitchen And I looked in and I wish I hadn't
glad I didn't go to the
Oh,
because apparently the
yeah
too.
Everything was bad I know I feel bad because obviously your friends They didn't know what the place was going to be like I mean? It's not like they booked it Knowing what it was going to be like
the
Yeah,
hired.
I don't know.
Oh no.
to be fair, do you know what? It was funny actually that it was like that because it was like we were like wetting ourselves on the drive home talking about it. We were actually crying with laughter.
what was it you, was it you that had the mash?
No, it was your friend Emma and I was sat opposite her and let me tell you, there's something wrong with your meal when you can cut your mash up and it goes kkkk when you cut into it. So we all ordered roast dinners and oh my god, I've never seen broccoli look so yellow.
my god, it was like, properly in Anne's broccoli, wasn't it? Like,
I, I'm not easily put off food, but I struggled, mate, getting that sound.
It was the girls that had the lamb, and they were like, what is that?
It's that laugh.
be lamb, could be beef, could be horse.
And then when she was like, I would just rustle up a chicken. How can you
we don't eat beef or lamb and we said, Oh wait, is there any other meat? And she said, I could probably rustle you up a chicken. Where did,
up a chicken, you've either got it or you haven't.
come
rustle up the bottom of the freezer, straight in that microwave.
them old freezers with loads of, you know where it's like really built up with ice.
Oh, don't. Oh.
The dessert
So, that was
I quite enjoyed
Yeah, the dessert was good. That was the highlight.
It was, it was funny. It it
It was just so good. It was. So yeah, finished off the day with a nice roast dinner.
And then a few people then told, went home. And then the rest of us, we watched a film, we watched that new, it's, it's on Netflix, some chick flick. It was the back. The act was pretty bad. I'm not gonna lie, but it was all right.
Oh, that was all right.
Yeah I can't think of what it's called now. So we watched that and then we had a little fire, which was nice. Had a bit of a
Love that.
then
Cozy.
in the evening. Oh, we, we ordered a pizza and then played some games in the evening. So yeah, it was a nice chilled
Yeah.
yeah, I mean, you can just tell by the description of the food we ate this weekend. It was pretty, wow.
bad.
My,
I feel a bit bad today.
bit rank today, I'm not gonna lie, and I, Jesus.
Need a cleanse.
Literally, like, I haven't eaten rubbish for, like, the last five weeks, and then this
Like binged.
ate five weeks worth of rubbish. So,
Well,
was fun.
well it's a special occasion so
girls I mean, shout out to Mel and Kayanne, who planned it, because they did a terrific job. Like, the amount of effort they must have put in, and their
like even it was just
got rinsed, is all I'm gonna say. Yeah,
food they had like all that food there like crisps biscuits snacks so like if you wanted to get something there was everything was covered like they'd really thought of everything and
we didn't go
actually I
we?
No, not at all. And I really liked the fact that it was an Airbnb that you'd like booked a house and like everyone was there and everyone had their own room and whatever. Well, I've not been to a hindi like that before, where it's like, cause obviously normally you'd like, maybe you'd go somewhere and stay in a hotel for the night or something.
So I just felt it was just really you know, Relax and I just love that all the food was there for everybody and didn't have to go out like, you know Sometimes you have to make it go out for a night and then you gotta spend money on Taxis every you kind of with the silent disco and everything. It was all at the house.
actually,
just
the weekend, we didn't actually have to spend that much money, did we?
No, no.
meal out and the dodgy roast dinner. But other than that yeah, it was like, they'd done it as like a package, so everything was included, which I thought was really, really good.
Yeah, I like that.
I thought that was really good. And then everyone just bought their own drink as well, so you're not, you think, when you go on like a night out, like how much money you spend at the bar, if you're doing that
Yeah, it's
hen weekend, plus like lunches
like easy like
Us
300 quid.
But yeah, like you
Yeah,
So even like when we went to Prezzo, we were like, well, we don't need to get dessert because we had loads of cakes and
loads of stuff at home.
back at the
Yeah
so yeah, it was, it was really good. We definitely didn't go hungry.
no.
biscuits we ate.
We did not. I love a good crisp though.
good crisp. Oh,
Gosh,
just can't
it was a good selection as well.
yeah, good at the crisp selection. So yeah, I would definitely say, like, that is, if you're looking for, like, what to do for your hen do, like, doing that in
Yeah.
Everybody's there yeah, I think, I just think it worked really well. Like, as you say, I don't drink, but I do still love, like, a dance, a sing
Yeah, like you didn't have to have a drink to have a good time like at all and that's
are different. Some
good. Yeah.
if they don't drink, they don't like that kind of environment. But even if you had that house, you wouldn't need to do that. You could have done slumber party vibe like we did watch
Yeah.
you know, face masks, play games.
Lovely.
even need to do like the silent disco, but I would highly recommend the silent disco because one of my friends Has just had a baby as well, so she was like, feeling quite tired on the night, she wanted to go to
Yeah.
She had a bit of a headache, bless her, but she didn't feel like she couldn't, like, go off and go to bed, because, yeah,
No, she just could've gone.
you can't hear the mute, it's not like we're
Can't hear the music. Yeah.
just
Yeah. No, I thought it
was
was perfect, really.
and actually people could kind of do their own thing if they wanted to sit in the kitchen they could if they wanted to dance they could so yeah it's it's nice but at the same time because i've done hen parties before where you go out but keeping everyone together is a nightmare
Yeah, that's the thing, isn't it? and you got different personalities sometimes as well when you're like getting a group of girls together or boys, obviously, whatever. But like, you know, when you've got, there can be a clash of personalities and sometimes when you're out, like. Things can get a little bit more troublesome, I feel. So I feel like
wander
just being, being all together. Yeah, wandering off, or like, they don't want to go to that bar, they want to go to another one. Or they're going to go out for a fag or something, and then you lose everybody. and I just felt like being all in one place, that you've got like a centre point.
we
it was just, it was really good. Yeah, I loved it.
The
It's nice.
was brilliant. so they delivered it on the Friday and it had like all the lights for the room, the headsets, they give you an iPad to put the playlists on so it was really good, like
Yeah,
and stuff as well. So yeah, I'd highly recommend that. Then they just pick it up when you want them to pick it up. So yeah.
I was thinking as well like because I've been looking at venues and stuff for my 30th and I'm struggling to be honest, but a lot of them are like Oh, you can do it, but you have to turn the music off at 10 because it's a residential area But like if you had a silent disco
Yeah.
why couldn't you then extend you could do that because obviously it's no one can hear the music obviously you've got people like You Maybe singing or whatever, but it's not like having music blaring, is it? So I think it's maybe a way of getting around things and for like maybe for your wedding, like for a wedding as well. Like I think
yeah.
you know, after the night's done, maybe bit more of like a rave kind of thing in the evening. You get all the headphones on and just like change it up. I thought that's a really good idea.
say is if you're going to do it for like a big amount of numbers. So the
Yeah. Blow
could do it for like up to 200 people. So you could do it for like a big
me.
But if you're going to
Yeah.
got like a hundred people. Obviously there was only like. 12 of us is get like a tech person to come along as well because
Okay. Yeah,
easily, like we had a, not any problems, but like, you know, sometimes with the sound would go or a
like cut out.
Yeah, so I think if you've got, if it's for your wedding, you're not going to want to sit there having to manage that.
like, fiddle with the
yeah, if you get someone that's a little bit tech minded, like to just be there and like oversee it
Yeah.
I think that would
Yeah, good idea.
really that DJ, that would be a good offering from a DJ where the DJ plays from like 8 till 10 and then turns it to silent disco from like 10 till
Yeah, afterwards.
manage the tech side and then they're
Yeah.
party
there's DJs out there that offer it as, like, part of a package. There must be.
really.
If not, then they need to get on that, because
it, DJs.
Yeah.
out. It's all the rage, so. And I didn't realise until the Saturday night that so the different channels, there's three different channels and they're different colours, so when you look at people's heads you can see what channel they're on colour.
See what they're
I didn't know that until the Saturday
Oh, did you not?
I just saw that they lit up! I didn't realise that they correlate to what you're listening to.
Oh, it's just reminded me of something as well. I'm gonna have to call you out here on this podcast. Don't worry about it. I'm going to have to when so obviously we did like a Polaroid picture. And then like obviously it prints out the picture and then someone shook it. Now. the outcast song, you know, shake it like a Polaroid picture. Shake it. You're not meant to shake it. He actually got sued for saying that. Okay, apparently it ruins the picture.
Yeah.
But you thought that the words, the lyrics were shake it like a Polaroid preacher
do.
is gonna stay with me for the rest of my life. Every time I hear that song, you're like, you're
were telling this story. You were like, yeah, you know that they
like, I
sued OutKast for that. And I'm thinking, what the fuck are they talking about? And I looked at Aidan and went, oh, is that, is that the lyrics? like a Polaroid picture.
love that. It's just so good. That's so funny.
all I'm gonna say.
That's so true.
Oh, it was brilliant. But yeah, we just had the best time. I had a really good time. And then,
Oh, it was really good.
many lovely bits. I've got a nice, like, Oh, I need to get you to do the Kiss the Miss. We
Oh, yeah.
So when I next see
Oh,
it and we'll do that. I've got a lovely, like, Welcome to Hannah's Hen sign. Kelly, the lovely Kelly from Pink Panic Weddings. She made me a lovely box to, like, keep all my photos and bits in. She
yeah. That was so cute. Love that.
By the way, never used an eye mask before, and I got two this weekend, one from Kelly and one
Oh,
and Mel,
yeah.
in everyone's goodie bags. And
Used one yet or not?
so I used them this weekend, best thing ever, cause I can't
Yeah.
any light, and it was quite
Oh, yeah. They're so good.
So
Love it.
A new thing for me.
Game changer. Heh
little bits and bobs. So yeah, it's it's written loads of photos and stuff now that are all, like, printed out. And yeah, we've been sharing all the photos in the group today, haven't we? Which is really nice. I'd definitely say
Yeah.
like, have a WhatsApp group and then share all your
Yeah.
at the end. Because I took, like, zero. I took, like, hardly any pictures. I took, like, two pictures. Yeah.
is that basically wait until literally, like, the head's over and then everyone send them then, rather than in dribs and drabs, because otherwise you forget you might have sent some and then send them again, and then, like, if we all do it when you get back. And you've got like 10 minutes to spare sort of thing, just ping them all over.
it is. So yeah! That was that.
Yeah, that was amazing. Hurt your teeth.
drink a day, treated, two drink a day rule. Basically if I drink any more than two drinks, I just feel naff. But, for anyone that doesn't drink, but kind of, I mean I drink non alcoholic anyway, but sometimes they can be quite sugary and they just like make your teeth feel rank.
Yeah, I found that when I was pregnant. It could be quite, because I sampled, I tried to like sample a few different things and found it quite difficult to find something I liked.
I was drinking hard seltzer, which is only 4%, and, like, I'd make a can last me the whole night, because I would just top it up with lemonade or tonic. So,
Oh yeah, okay.
still got that like in your flute or your gin glass or whatever. So yeah, that's, that's what I was doing. Or I was like
That's a good idea.
with like
Yeah,
I was mixing the two. But yeah, one night, the 1920s night, I literally drank like a whole bottle of the Frégéné non alcohol and honestly my teeth felt rank. They
yeah,
because there's so much sugar in non alcoholic
that's the thing. I remember, like, obviously, like I said, I was like drinking it and sometimes I do think it might just be better to just not have an non alcoholic version of something, just have something like a, like, yeah, or a squash, like, or something, that sounds really boring, but I feel like when you've got these, like, non alcoholic alternatives, you kind of feel like you're part of, like, and if you are used to drinking, I guess it's a good alternative to that, but, yeah.
And,
Yeah, they can be a bit sugary. Yeah.
seltzers are low alcohol. You can get low alcohol cocktails and stuff now. So, there's so many options. But yeah.
Yes.
It was great.
Oh, it was amazing.
of your week other than you know, joying the hen and the weekend
Joining the hen. Oh, it was good. So I actually had a wedding on the Saturday. So that's why I didn't join the hen until the afternoon that day. So just set up a wedding on the morning. That was at Crockwell farm, which is in Daventry. So your way. And yeah, it was lovely there. They must've had a refurb since the last time I'd been there. I think you said they'd done it over COVID or something.
been there. It was
Oh, maybe it was Kelly. Yeah. So,
I've never
oh, so it's lovely venues. It was nice before, but they've like, they've like got all that you know, like that bump what do you call it? Is it canvas floor that you have sometimes on a, in a teepee or stretch tent, they've, they've put that down like throughout the whole venue, but it's really good because it, it's. Yeah, it was like
Okay.
kind of like that kind of material, like a really like hard wearing carpet y kind of, which sounds a bit weird, but it really works. It looked really like nice and natural.
I think before it was all like hard floors, and I think this is like, it hoovered well, it swept well, and also when I was doing my arrangements, obviously we get a little bit of water that comes out, but we always put a sheet down Obviously it can go through a little bit, but it literally dried up like instantly, really like quick drying. But yeah, so the couple had a moon arch, that's like a big huge hoop basically. And then it stands behind the top table and then we decorate it with flowers.
So that was quite a, quite a big job to do. So we got there at like half seven in the morning because I wanted to leave by eleven to get obviously to Cambridge. But But it went really well and the
Good!
really pleased. And from what I can see so far, they had a really, really good time. So
you did the arch and then the bouquets?
yeah, yeah, did all the bridal bouquets they did. So they had like jam jars on their table, which they supplied. So I did some flowers in
Yeah.
Log slices, which are higher out. And then, yeah, they had the archway top table arrangement and petals down the aisle. So it was quite a few bits. Yeah.
Oh,
Yeah. But it was, it was lovely colors. It was all lilacs, powder blue and, and white. So
That's a
with like gray greens. Yeah, it was lovely.
good. And you've been recommended for a wedding next year, haven't you? Oh for an event of, sorry, for their wedding in London. So it's It's at the Hackney in London. Lovely.
So I've not been there before, but I'm, I'm like, Oh, this is like really, really Exciting
Yeah,
that someone's recommended me and that like, yeah, so I'm, I'm really excited about that. So I'm, I'm just in the middle of sort of organizing stuff with them at the moment. So I'll send across a proposal for what they, what they want and then hopefully they go ahead. That'd be really good to have that one. And that's for next, next June. So
nice when suppliers recommend other suppliers, isn't
yeah, it was another photographer. I'm actually, I need to find out who it was cause they did put it in an email, but I can't find the original email.
of
So
something to
yeah, like thanks for, yeah.
because I just think it's so nice. Because it, that is like, the true, like, the best testimony always when another supplier recommends you, I always think.
Yeah, definitely.
in the industry, like, so we know is good. Like, we, and we would never recommend someone that's not good. And we're
No.
all the time. So I think when someone is stand out to you, like, they're going to, photographers are going to weddings all the time. So for them to go,
Yeah.
is really
Oh, this.
like a
Yes. Yeah, definitely. That is so true. I, I find that I would say like a good 60%, 70 percent of my work comes from recommendations, even still now, like, which I, which I love because I feel like people are more trusting in you and they're more likely to perhaps go ahead with the book in because they've already kind of got that,
Exactly.
View on you because you've been recommended, which is, which is nice. So I love that. But, but
when
yeah,
team of suppliers that you, where you've all worked together before. Cause you just know, like
yeah,
working on a wedding when I've got like a really good team. You're like, oh yeah, this is
yeah, I love that. You're like, Oh, you just know it's going to come together. Everyone's going to work well together. You kind of takes away that like aspect of being anxious that perhaps
Yeah.
won't go so well. They're reliable basically. And they, you know, that they're going to do that. Job right. So yeah.
you, then you know you're gonna get the photos.
Yeah.
Love that!
It's Alex. That is honestly half the battle. Sometimes like this, so this wedding on Saturday, I was so busy and rushing around. I didn't have time to take any pictures, which is unusual. So obviously like I'm kind of relying on the couple and the photographer to send me some photos of my, of the flowers. So I can obviously use it on my socials, which, you know, so obviously they get busy and then they might not.
They might not reply to me, the photographer, and then sometimes a couple's like, yes, that's fine. Then you don't want to nag them, but you're like, no, please, can you send them to me?
please. Thank you very
Yeah.
Yeah, no,
So, yeah.
Cool, sounds good. Yeah, so, we're gonna go into Hannah's final weeks of wedding planning.
Yes, so what have you been planning for your wedding this week?
just gonna quickly go through it because obviously I've already banged on about the hen party for the most of the episode. so, um, Martin's now got his wedding ring we had a bit of a
Lovely.
haven't we? We got it, and then it was the, he'd given them the wrong size, so they had to
Oh yeah, yeah. Ha ha ha ha ha!
best ring company ever. So they've now sorted it. They've had it back twice. now the right size so yeah, that was amazing I Had my nails my hair and my brows done for the hen now What I would say is that so for example my brows, I never have my brows done and I decided
okay.
only, I was going to book them in to have them done, ready for the wedding, but actually, then I decided when I went for like the, the patch test to have it done the next day, I literally booked the next day so they were ready for the hen,
Yeah.
so glad I did, because when I had them done, I was, not, no
No, but I've never had them tinted. I'm assuming you had them tinted, did you?
don't know
Is that what you had?
done. It was some, you know, HD brows and lamination and
Yeah.
shenanigans. So she's, she basically recommended this one when I showed her the kind of brows I liked. Had it
Yeah. Ha ha ha ha! Yeah.
my face. So I think she could tell I was a little bit shocked and was like, oh, it comes off of like, A bit of exfoliation. So I got home and was scrubbing my brows. And actually now, like, I'm so glad, like, because I know exactly what I want now. I need them a little bit lighter. I need them not as close
So, so Yeah. Yes, the job you had them done, like, in a Like, because I said before, didn't I? It was one of my little tips, was that basically don't start a new beauty regime. Don't have something out there done, like, close to your wedding. There you are like, I'm gonna go and get a brow tint! Ha ha ha!
So yes, I'm glad I've done that.
It's a good job you did it in advance. Sort of. Ha ha ha!
of. Got lots of final orders and deliveries coming in. And also, the key thing that I did, that I always like to talk about, is I sent my plan to all my suppliers. So I obviously, through my business, have like a full wedding plan anyway that I use for my suppliers, so I use that. But whether you just want to do like a word document, whether you just want to do spreadsheets, but at this point, kind of, so we're now four weeks out, you need to be sending all this information to your suppliers.
All the timings for the day, all of your, you know, all of the information, details of like, who your bridesmaids are, who your best man is, who your MC is all that information, just like, Put it into one document or, you know, into a Google Drive, table plans, things like that and send it all out to your suppliers because they will definitely thank you for it. Yeah.
absolutely. So it's all in one place
Yeah!
for everyone Disney.
yeah, that's kind of what I've been up to. It's actually officially only a week till we get married. I get
Oh, I can't believe that. Yeah, I know. Do you know what? I've got it in my diary. Which sounds really creepy, doesn't it? But it's because I think before
it's in my
I had like two dates. Obviously your wedding, your official wedding day and then your other wedding day. So I've got it.
I don't actually
I think that's right. I think it is four weeks. Yeah,
four
three or four. I think it's four.
I think I think it's less than four. It would have been four yesterday
you, I can tell you what it, how many weeks it is. I've got my calendar here.
got the
It is,
I think it
got my calendar.
I think in four weeks, I'll be going to the
So, it's four weeks, yesterday.
Jesus Wow Crazy times! Crazy times! So moving swiftly on. Going back to the hen do. Hen do, stag dos. Back to
Yes, so Stendu,
Stens.
that's what they're calling it now. So it's where you have a stag do and a hen do
mashup.
Stendu is what you get.
Do you know Have done this? Have you been to any? Because I haven't.
I haven't been to one No, but I tell you how I saw it. So Vicky Pattinson, you know, used to be on Geordie Shore Queen of the Jungle, whatever. She she put on her Instagram that she was going on a Stendu and I was like, oh What's that? I'd heard it but I was like, what's that?
And then obviously like, looked it up but it's becoming, now I've heard it I've seen it, I'm seeing it everywhere, like people are like, oh yeah, I've been on ascending so it's, yeah, basically where the stags and the hens all go together but
Yeah, the
I don't know if that,
the first I'd heard about it was when Jamie Lange and Sophia Boo were talking about it on their podcast, and they were
yeah
one. And that was the first time I'd really heard about it. And I know of couples, I've, years and years ago, one of my friends, and that I worked with, had a, had a joint, had a joint one. You know, it was, well, they didn't call it a sten then, they just said it
yeah,
basically, for their, for their wedding. Yeah, I don't know how I feel about it, because I just think, is that not just the same as the wedding?
yeah exactly
not,
I don't know, I just feel like the whole idea of it is that you kind of go off and you celebrate with your friends separately so you're like, kind of like saying, well it's not goodbye to freedom or anything
No!
Anything like that, but it's kind of like a, it's kind of like a celebration with you, like for you with your friends separately. So like, obviously the groom and the bride, they both get their own like individual kind of like celebration. They can kind of do what they want. Cause I, I do feel a lot of the time, like the stag wants to do something completely different to the hen. Like, yeah.
my point. It's short, like, imagine the weekend we've just done. I could not imagine Martin and all his friends rocking up
No,
disco, going out,
no.
On the gondolas. I think, is it gondolas?
I think that's what they're called, yeah.
Punting. That's it. Did we even cover that in the hen do stuff? If we didn't, we went punting.
We went gondoliering.
And it, and it, and it rained. So we had umbrellas up. But it was still fun. Yeah, so we, yeah, I can't imagine them wanting to do things like that.
No,
having, and then who plans it? Because let's face it, the girls are going to end up planning it. I would, I would imagine.
yeah. I'll have to, yeah, I'll just be honest here.
yeah,
No, but yeah,
let's
true.
Yeah.
Yeah,
it would be for me I think it would work really well if you're the kind of couple that has a lot of joint friends.
yeah, like, yeah, that's true.
Hang around in couples and do that a lot that might work well But yeah, I think it overall like the activities you're gonna want to do are probably gonna be quite different
Completely different, yeah.
not everybody does a whole weekend away if you're just doing a night out it might work, but
Yeah, I guess so. I'll just, I'll just I do feel like it's a bit like, literally you're going to spend the rest of your lives together, like going out all the time. It's like the one time you can go have like, separate nights out, like, come on, like, I don't know. I can't, I can't see the benefits of it to be honest with you, I don't know.
No, and
Unless it's just,
you then got, it's like, I had all these, you know, big balloons up saying bride on them, and I had slippers, and everyone, well, would I be, if it was a sten,
Yeah, no.
brides, like, bride balloons.
Yeah, exactly. I guess, I suppose, maybe if you've got, like, say, like you said, you've got lots of joint friends, but also maybe everyone lives far away from you, like, perhaps if you live abroad or something, like, I'm just thinking, like, maybe if everyone wants to come together, but then I just think, like you say, it's the same as a wedding. Might as well just wait till the wedding day.
go, like I've seen people do them where they like, go away for a weekend, like to,
Yeah
Marbella or something, on a Sten or
Yeah,
and you're like, when you're all dressed up and stuff, and I'm a
yeah.
really understand it, if I'm honest.
what is the thing? I mean, what's it about everyone has to have like more than one? Some people have like five hen do's or snag do's, like to cover every base of friend that they have. You know what I mean? Like,
Yeah. No, I know what you
I mean, I had a separate one with my family but it's only because like we went to a ball pit in London and a I mean, it wasn't really like for my family. No, exactly. We had an afternoon tea like
only had my friend, my sisters were there this weekend, but they're the same age as like, we're all in the
Yeah, yeah,
I didn't have like, other family, and we did talk about doing an afternoon tea or something, but, well, nobody planned it, because I get
yeah
and it hasn't transpired,
Yeah, yeah
so I, yeah, I, I, I just don't really see the need to have
No,
different ones, no.
I agree. No, I agree.
like, if your friends are like, Oh no, I don't want to come to the Hindu, well, like, don't come.
Well, yeah, whatever this is the hindu.
instead, like, well no, this is, this is the weekend. If you want to celebrate
Yeah
along. Like,
This is it. Yeah.
just come for a day, do whatever
come when you can come.
whatever.
Yeah
when I'm celebrating. If you want to
Yeah,
then.
yeah,
gonna be
totally.
I'm, like, how people have time for that, I do not know.
No, especially on these like last weeks before the wedding I think people don't realize how much you actually have got to do
I also don't
but all the final prep
that have their, their hen do so really far in advance.
Oh my gosh, like the night before and stuff the day before I know that's that's such like a 90s thing No, I feel like well they used to have like Have like the stag or the hen like literally the day before and then like the grooms had his eyebrows shaved off for the wedding Or tied up or he's been left,
times.
you've seen the hangover like
No, but
so in advance.
far in advance, like four to six I had somebody, they had their stab due in August last year and they've only just got married. I'm like, that's well too in advance. I felt
Like, the moment's kind of gone.
to six weeks
I think four to six weeks before is a nice time, yeah.
Yeah.
I agree. Otherwise, I think you sort of get forgotten about.
it's like,
You know what I mean?
the frickin wedding? Jesus. You could split up in that time.
Exactly. Who knows?
Shall we go to the list of questions?
Yeah, so we've got some hen related, hen and stag do related questions.
do you want to go to the first one?
Yeah, so someone's asked, should I pay for my own hen do or do the hens pay for me or should I be paying for everyone?
Good question.
So, I, I do feel like if it's your hen or your stag do that everybody else should chip in and pay for you. Like, so you aren't paying for your ticket if Unless there's like a money issue or people can't afford it, and it's really expensive or something. I, I just, I, I just feel like it's kind of, it's kind of a done thing, isn't it? It's like,
Yeah, I think it's, it is nice. I wouldn't
yeah, like,
but I think also like for
no,
I didn't know what was happening. So,
no,
you guys all covered for me for the activities because obviously they didn't want to come and say, Oh, we're doing this activity. You, you know, you need to pay this much or whatever. And I did
yeah.
you're owing anything. And they were like, no, absolutely not. But then when we were there, like one night we got Chinese and I was like, girls, I know you're
Yeah, then that was really kind of you
for
pay for it, yeah.
wanted to do that. But I'm also in a position where I can do that. But if you're
Yeah,
don't to. But I
no,
yeah, I
no, no.
you should, you know, you should not be paying for everybody.
shouldn't be paying for everyone, absolutely not. That's what I was about to get onto, like, you're putting on a wedding for everyone to come on you, like, we're talking like, hundreds of pounds per person for like, 50 odd people.
exactly.
the least that we can do is, you know, do a day for you. Like, it doesn't have to be really expensive, but when you're splitting it between like, a few people as well, the costs are coming down, and like, to include the bride or the groom's cost in that, I just, I just do think it's like, I think that's the way it should be personally.
tip is, like, what I did was, once I decided we wanted to do the house, is I kind of did some research, and I kind of knew roughly how much it was going to cost. So when I,
Yeah.
a message around to everyone and said, this is going to be the kind of dates that it is, this is what we're thinking of doing, this is going to be roughly the price, and
Yeah. It's like a heads up kind of thing.
did it a year in advance, so everybody like had like the year to save, and I know it probably felt like really early, but god the fact that we did start, I sent the messages a year ago just seems
Yeah. That's gone in a flash though. So you say a year, but a year goes so quick. I mean,
and
literally four weeks and you're going to be married.
I think if you're so upfront with people about it, like, they're fine. Because I really struggle with, like, the concept that everybody's had to pay money to almost celebrate me. And I think that's why I was so keen that everybody had a good weekend, that it covered, it, like, made it. Everybody happy
Yeah.
because
Yeah.
you know people to spend this money I essentially was like I said to my two best friends who planned it I just want it to be like a girl's weekend way that everybody enjoys I don't want you know you to think oh We've got to do this because hannah would like this but god no one else really wants to do it But we're gonna do
Yeah.
you know what I mean? I just wanted everybody
know what you mean to enjoy it.
want anyone to feel money pressured. So again, I said to the girls, this is the max I want them to spend. And actually what I've heard from people is that actually they did it in a really good way because they packaged everything up and they split it into payments. So you didn't have
Yeah. It was done really well.
it was done in like a payment plan. You didn't have to like pay it all upfront kind of thing. So that would be like my biggest advice when it comes to money for tendu. So just be
Yeah,
it. If
up front.
it, they'll soon tell you and that's fine. And again, I was very much like, do not worry. Like if you can't come, like that's absolutely fine. And I had other
Yeah, no pressure.
yeah, where they just bought houses and things like that. So I was like, absolutely fine. If, if you can't come, like I get it. So yeah.
Yeah, also when you're doing things that far in advance, you don't know what's gonna happen and like, do you know what I mean? Like when you're, but at least you've given everyone the heads up so they know, they know what to
Yeah.
or like, if they can let you know in good time. But You know, it goes back to budget and again, even for your handy, like with, like when you're, if you're planning it yourself for your friends or whatever, like, you know, Kind of like you say, like budgeting it a year in advance, you kind of not really got an excuse. Have you? Let's be honest. Oh,
Yeah.
I mean,
Yeah.
I mean, like money wise, I mean, like a year's a long time and we're not talking. If you know your friends, you kind of know how much they're going to kind of want to spend, don't you? Like, you're going to kind of know if you're close, they're kind of their situation. So like, you could be anything, I mean, like 50 quid or like up to 150 or something like that. I guess is the done kind of.
and then whoever's planning it sticks to it It's fine
Yeah,
like yeah, that's fine. Yeah, I want to come then when you
yeah,
chats You don't then have the arguments because I was speaking to Mal and Kayan about it And they were saying that they didn't have any issues where people were like, oh, no, I don't want to pay that I don't want to pay that
yeah,
was prepared for what it was gonna end up costing.
And I think we did loads for the amount that we paid.
wasn't it like the
And another, another plus of like, you're still having that at the house and everything. So you're not having to go out and spend money in a bar every night on drinks and stuff. You like, bought your alcohol. Because then you've got control over that extra spending. And I just think, yeah, so, no, it was really good. But yeah, I, I just think in answer to that one, personally, well, definitely don't pay for your own hen do.
everybody.
else.
no, definitely not.
No.
So next question. I'm getting married next year. I'm feeling a bit down at the, for the hen party. I've said for years. I don't want one as I don't have a big group of girlfriends. I have a few friends dotted about, but none of them know each other. So I think a hen party would be awkward. I feel like I'd be missing out if I don't have one, but there's four. Forcing one with a group of people who don't know each other fills me with dread. Do you have any hem party ideas? That would be of fun.
For a group that aren't friends, should I go back to my original idea of not having one? Well, first up, straight away, I'd like to say is that was exactly how my end weekend was. Nobody really
Yeah.
We had, it was all two, so like, Hayley and Kelly knew each other. They're like my wedding industry friends. I've got my three best friends from Norwich. I've got my two sisters. I've got a couple of friends from Northampton, where I live now. Like, everybody, and even like, some of those didn't really know each other, and it
No.
Like,
Everyone got on.
Yeah.
Yeah. I think as well, when you come together to celebrate somebody else, like, you kind of, even if you might, I mean, I'm not saying I did because I definitely didn't, but even say if you were to find someone irritating or whatever, you kind of like, do you know what I mean? You just, you just, I don't know. Yeah, no, you just you just kind of like you let it go because you're all there for the to make you happy
isn't it?
Yeah, and as
night.
and if they're real friends like they won't they won't put themselves and how they feel before you like You shouldn't have to worry about people getting on because they will because like they're coming together for you
exactly. I also
so I just
When we got there on the Friday, it was funny, because my sister Emma actually made a comment of it, because on the Friday when we all got there, everyone was a bit, like, a bit more quieter, and and she was like, oh, we're all just Getting to know each other, aren't we like, because everyone was a bit reserved and a bit
Yeah
soon as we start having drinks and stuff, like everybody
It just flows, doesn't it?
I
Yeah,
is maybe try and do something longer, like a full day activity and then into the evening or do a
yeah.
because people do take a little bit time to come out their shell.
That's it, yeah.
to a hemp party before I was in that situation and it was like a more activity thing. So it was like an outdoor, like inflatable thing where you're like running around doing tasks
Being silly and like,
Or even like the the thing that we did in Cambridge, the like the treasure hunt,
the, the, yeah.
not having to think or got to make conversation. Like
Oh yeah, yeah, exactly. And then you kind of like, you just get on and it becomes funny and you're all laughing so then later on in the day you've got that kind of rapport with someone, you've like, made a relationship and then that's it, you don't have to worry about it, it's fine.
would say that that treasure hunt thing is, is a good one because you, you
Yeah, love that.
and you can do it anywhere. So I think it, I can't remember what the website was called.
I can't remember.
you could probably, I think, I think it's henhunt. co. uk, something like that. Have a
Yeah,
but I would really recommend that because you can pick any, any city that you go into. I think it, it's an icebreaker. Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it. And definitely have a hen do. Bye.
yeah, absolutely. I feel like, yeah, don't worry about other people. You, you have a handy, you plan it. Get someone else to plan it for you. You know, designate somebody, your bridesmaids or your sister or whatever, and then they can just sort it all out for you, you've just got to turn up and enjoy it, but don't worry about people not getting on, because they absolutely will, absolutely will.
goes back to what you said. Is, like, why is it fill you with dread? Because if, if, if you're worried that people are going to be so awful, like, why are they your friends?
Yeah, I was going to say,
God, they're going to be awful to that person, like, no.
be coming to your wedding, let alone your hen do,
No, exactly. Exactly. Yeah,
you're worried about your hen do, surely you're gonna have the same problem at your wedding because everyone's coming.
And actually, this works out really well because, like, I've got a couple of friends that came to the hen do that are coming to the wedding and they don't really know anybody.
Yes. And you,
each other.
yeah. So we'll get there on the night and be like, woohoo.
my friends was saying to me I'm not sure how I'm gonna get back home and stuff and then my other friend was like Oh, I've got a spare Sofa like in where I'm staying like come and stay in my like cottage thing that she's hired So like, do you know and now I said
It worked out really well.
you know, so
Yeah, exactly.
Actually, that's a really valid point. Yeah So if it's gonna be awkward at the hen surely it'll just be awkward at the wedding
Oh, the wedding. Yeah.
it very bizarre when people invite you to the hen and then not to the wedding Don't you think that's the
Yeah, that's,
ever?
that is weird. That is strange.
of doing that, that's weird.
Yeah, that's well weird. Yeah. Yeah.
I would say. Yeah, but again, like, say, what you said is so true. Like, like, there's no way that I could have, like, the planning that went into that hen do, and like, all the personalization and stuff, there's no way I could have done that along planning an
No,
and a wedding. And
no,
grateful that you guys just all like, took it in your stride and did it For me and you know, I had the best weekend and didn't have to like get stressed out about it. So yeah, again, like I see people on Facebook groups that are like, Oh, I just could never let someone else plan my hen do. I just need to be in control. Like that's my job is planning events. And I was happy for other people to do it.
Someone else can do this one.
And trust me, there's no way you want to be worrying about it. Like, no,
You gotta let your hair down. Let someone else do it. It's like, you gotta do your whole panel your wedding. Yeah, let someone else do your panel. Bloody Hindu.
planning it yourself? Like, me getting photo like guys, I need a photo of myself to pin on a wall.
Oh, how cringe. Yeah.
stuff, and like, printing out we had masks of, like, Martin's face on. Like,
Yeah. Like bringing them yourself. They're making me die inside, like my toes are. Curl up with the thought I'm,
pyjamas and
yeah. Oh, cringe.
The other thing Wanted to mention as well, tip wise for Hemparty's is obviously, like I say, I did choose the location. Well, I had a couple of ideas in mind and I discussed it with the girls. Looking for the house. One thing I want to talk about is, like, how hard that is, and how I just honestly think that the whole, like, perception of hem parties needs to change. Because when I was looking for a house, like, so many were like, no hem parties, no stag parties, no same sex groups.
yeah, yeah,
like, families. But in my head, I'm thinking, right, the house we got, There was 12 of us there, 12 girls. you had, like, 4 females, 4 males, 4 kids, right? Let's face it, all the adults are gonna get pissed together, and the kids are gonna run riot. What
yeah, you're trapped a place. Yeah,
girls who, and I think what they need to realise is that not everybody now is doing, going out, getting pissed, throwing up, drinking from dick straws. Like, it's not, like, that perception needs to change. Like, people are getting married later, I'm 34. I didn't want all that kind of vibe and actually we left that house like absolutely spotless. We were respectful of the house I just think that perception needs to change. Yeah.
like these people that put that stipulation into like the contract, like when you're looking on Airbnb or whatever, I just think like, I dunno, it's just not, it's a little bit old fashioned, of an old fashioned sort of
enough
way of thinking.
place
I'll just,
know, let no noise after x
yeah.
were actually really lucky
But what's the, what's the,
of nowhere, wasn't
yeah,
was no neighbours.
just the robotic lawnmower. That's weird.
random.
No, but I feel like, just take one, just take a security deposit or something like that. Do you know what I mean? Like that's the way of getting around it. If you take what, you know, if you're really worried about it and you know it's going to be, you could maybe just say like, well there's a deposit of like, I don't know, 500 or something, like if it's a big house and that's, that's enough to like, stop people, making sure people leave it in the way they found it.
Yeah, I just wanted to mention
So.
a bit,
Yeah, that's a good point.
I genuinely really
I know you did. Yeah, I remember when you were looking.
a couple
You said it was hard.
messaged them was just like, look, I know you get scared, but you almost don't want to say it's a hemp party because it's like, people are instantly like, oh, but if I was to say
Yeah, put off.
away for a weekend, like, would that be fine? But it's not if it's a hemp party, like, and I kind of said to them, like, look, that's not, that's not, what we want to do, like we just want a
No.
And actually then this house was like, yeah, it's fine. But yeah, just want to, thought I'd mention that. And also
Yes,
when you are booking somewhere because it isn't always easy. So
no. Oh Well, yes.
