Manchester Meet Up 17.02.14

On Monday 17th of February, apologies for the lateness of this post, I attended a blogger meet up which was hosted by a gorgeous Georgie. The event was held at Font Bar Fallowfield, Manchester. (Little did we know – there were two Font Bars in Manchester. Guess what – we ended up at the wrong one!)



Before the meet up, I had arranged to meet up with Rachael, Fran and Kelsey to get something to eat. We all agreed on Wagamama as the other girls have never eaten there and I had only been once before. I chose Chicken and Prawn Cha Han which is delicious. We all had a lovely meal and it was great to catch up as we hadn't seen each other for a few months.

After the meal, we met up with Cat and headed to Font. I only knew of one Font Bar so we headed to the one near Oxford Road train station. We arrived just before the event was due to start but there wasn't a blogger in sight! It took us a few minutes before we checked the email as we thought we may have the wrong date. We soon realised it said Fallowfield and we definitely wasn't in Fallowfield. We quickly phoned a taxi to take us to the right one and arrived fashionably late! We went upstairs to meet Georgie and the other bloggers before heading to the bar to get a cocktail (mocktail in my case). Cocktails are £2 in Font which is dangerously cheap but super delicious!

To break the ice, Georgie had arranged to play higher or lower with giant playing cards. This was fantastic and totally unique for blogger meet up. There was also a raffle which was £2 for a strip. The money raised was for a local animal shelter which is a great cause. I was lucky enough to win a mini facial at The 8th Day along with Kelsey. Hopefully we can go together and have a pamper day.

Georgie had also arranged for Ron to come along who is a magician, specialising in up close and personal card tricks. I had the pleasure of meeting him at the TGI Friday's event last November. His card tricks are amazing and they blow my mind. I would love to have him perform at our wedding but I'm not sure we can afford it.

We were very lucky to leave with a goody bag filled with goodies from Lush, Diptyque, Schwarzkopf and The 8th Day. Thank you to the bands who were involved, thank you to Font for allowing us to have the meet up and thank you to Georgie for hosting a great meet up.
