Have a great time x

I went to Butlins for the very first time last year on an 80's weekend. We had a brilliant time, but I must admit, it was a bit of an eye opener

I would have loved to have known how many people went home having done something they wished they hadn't!!!! hahahaha

 

[Beegee]

Sounds fantastic - have a brilliant time!

 

[Claireybella]

Which one are you off to? Me and Ellebear (and a group of friends) did a 90's Weekender at the one in Bognor a few years ago, had a fab time! Have a brilliant time!

 

[Maximus]

Which 80s act(s) are playing?

 

[jen3]

Marj - saw a few doing the "walk of shame" last time.

This is our 5th one. We go to Skeggy as its the nearest from us.

The acts have got worse over the years (the real ones that is - the tributes are usually fab). This year theres Jacki Graham, Nik Kershaw, Dr and the Medics, Sonia (!). In the past we've had Go West, Toyah, Junior. Oh and Nathan Moore (Brother Beyond) is on again - hes lush!!!!

Hi de high!

 

[MadameLaMinx]

NIK KERSHAW!!! SO JELUZ.

I used to LURVE him. Till I got to be about 11 and was taller than he was

Have a lovely time!

 

[Claireybella]

Nathan? Oh dear god, is he still doing the circuit?

Nathan? Oh dear god, is he still doing the circuit?

Lol!!! I still find it amusing that Carl from Menergy is dating Kerry Katona! Oh the blasts from our youth Claire!!! haha

Jen - Hope you had a super time at butlins!!

[Gettingthinnerbytheday]

My sister & her friends do this every year

 

[Claireybella]

I didn't know that about Carl! Oh how funny!!

 

[jen3]

Just got back - was FANTASTIC!!!!!! Nik Kershaw was rubbish. Best acts were 2 tribute ones - one called Wham Bam Duran and the other was The Bon Jovi Experience

Off to weigh in tonight - drank loads but went easy on food and loads of boogying!!!

Walks of Shame were hilarious - especially the Sunday morning ones where people still had fancy dress outfits on.

 

[*EB*]

walks of shame - love it!!! did you eat in the buffet place or self cater?

I remember finding loads of the test tube shots in my bag!!! lols!

[fillymum]

Glad you had a good time xx

 

[jen3]

Self catered this time but have done 1/2 board before too. Much prefer self cater as we could just slob about in pj's for hours instead of going down to brekkie

Was so impressed with myself the first morning as had porridge then a bowl of banana, blueberries and fromage frais..........then sat and ate 1/2 a tube of Pringles!!!!

I'm so tired I feel sick - 3-4 hours sleep a night for 3 nights is a killer!

 

[Margery Dawe]

I'm glad you had a good time. I went to Skeggy when I went. Mine was a Disco Inferno, so 70's acts that I didn't know at all. We did have a good time though.

We were walking back at 1 in the morning and writing things on the windows of cars (on the condensation). You know the kind of thing, four letter words and other names for your private bits hahahaha

 

[jen3]

Well you're allowed to go back to your youth and be childish at the Big Weekends !!!

Went to weigh in last night and had lost 2.5!!!!!! Am thinking of devising my own "vodka and dancing" diet because something worked!!!
