bewarethepossums Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 also in the shopping centre (less than 2 minute walk) is a sainsburys, boots, superdrug and a bagel shop (which is lovely btw) Boots, you say? Know that that means? MEAL DEALS! Also, I remember from budget shopping last summer that Tesco had jelly blocks (the ones that you dissolve and make into jelly) for about 6p each. So if all else fails, I'm living off jelly. I wonder if the room has a mini fridge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirefruit Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 If you bring super noodles, remember to bring a fork. I spent Eclipse struggling with a hotel room teaspoon. I will not make that mistake again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARATZAT Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Then there's the big argument though, should we waste our money on food or save it for the merchandise? Lol! I like food too much Also at my size if I don't eat properly I soon run out of steam, and doing that whilst looking after 30 crew and running a con for 800 people is not a good thing. That's why all the crew ensure you have a milk supply handy, to keep you running!!! I'm only ickle and I need my food!! Heh. SJ xox Aint that the truth lol Mountain of food for SJ esp brekkie!!! And yes the brekkies are lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyT Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 ooooh i cant remember if i read it or not... but THERE BETTER BE A STARBUCKS WITHIN A 100YARDS OF THE BUILDING! lol And if there ain't? The con is at PARK INN NORTHAMPTON Silver Street Northampton Northamptonshire NN1 2TA and according to Starbucks store finder, there isn't a Starbucks within 20 miles of the place. Nearest one is in Milton Keynes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewhiteladyofrohan Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 (edited) ooooh i cant remember if i read it or not... but THERE BETTER BE A STARBUCKS WITHIN A 100YARDS OF THE BUILDING! lol ooh not long to go! yay i am very sorry but i am afraid the one thing northampton does not have is a starbucks! sorry we have a cafe nero and a costa but no starbucks! and forwhoever asked just so you know when i say 5 minutes walk i mean 5 minutes walk when pushing a pushchair with a toddler who screams coz she wants to follow a pigeon every 5 steps so i assure you if it's a 5 minute walk for me it's probably less for you so you do not have to worry. :) if anyone gets really depserate i coudl always make them a pack lunch haha Edited January 17, 2009 by thewhiteladyofrohan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canaliens Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I saw the words "Wings" and "Chinese" in one post and now i want oriental food dammit! hahaha Me too. Might get a takeaway for dinner ooooh i cant remember if i read it or not... but THERE BETTER BE A STARBUCKS WITHIN A 100YARDS OF THE BUILDING! lol Now you're talking. Timpe and I need our vanilla lattes. A Tru-Free Rice & Lentil Quick Snack is a much tastier option than Pot Noodle. i'll definately be stocking those, so come and see me if you run out!
