Makings from the Madhouse: Illuminasia

I am currently sat downstairs with a very weazy baby, its that time of year when little people start getting colds and usually spread them to me. I have been sat here browsing ravelry and planning my next project since 4am. Even though he is now asleep in his little chair i can't sleep, i would love to sit and work on the Aran jumper i am currently making him but am not really awake enough for that as its the kind of knit that require a bit of concentration as there is nothing worse than taking a look at the pattern only to discover 10 rows ago you made a mistake. Today is Fred's nursery morning so if Alex went along with it i could have gone back to bed later, but i can't as today i am running a crochet workshop at Madhatters which is another new venture i will tell you about another day.

Last weekend Paul should have been off, but ended up having to work, so feeling more than a bit miffed, i decided that me and the kids were going out anyway, even though the prospect of taking four children out on a Saturday is a very exhausting and costly business! Ewan had brought home a discount voucher for Illuminasia, the night before from school which made it only £5 per person instead of £12.95 do it was a done deal, off we went on the bus.

We arrived to find they had no idea about the vouchers and they were not valid till next year, why send them out now then? after some....discussion about the face there was no date on the leaflet which luckily i had with me, they apologized and let us all in for £12.95 when with the voucher it wold have been £15 so i was happy, Then just as we were about to go in i was told i could have that money back and have a free visit!!! even better. so here it is Illuminasia Blackpool
