So I love a party, and any excuse to decorate. In the states there is my dream, a land called Party…read moreCity. That has any decorations you can ever imagine. My 9th birthday party, had high heel and lipstick everything, I am talking, napkins, cups, confetti, streamers. Needless to say I like my party shops. This place is pretty great, which was evident on arriving at 9.55am and there being about 4 other cars in the parking lot waiting for the place to open at 10. I was looking for silver wedding decorations, the other cars a mix of baby shower and kids birthdays. The shop is on two floors, the lower is balloon heaven, with two walls of pick your own balloons, and plenty of decorations for any wedding, hen-do, baby shower theme. Upstairs is the kids party area and endless costumes! Perfect, if you need to pick up a costume not during the Halloween season. They also provide helium services and can make balloon bouquets, on the day. They also had a section of balloons to be picked up later, which is perfect if you want to pre-order and then pick up the day of the event. I also saw a sign for fireworks, but didn't investigate further!

I've been to sound and light on several occasions to source lighting, and found that on every time…read moreit was cheaper to but from another company on England. There are staff here but they are floating between both floors. The shop sells more than just lighting they also hire equipment out for gigs and events, Dj equipment also available.

There are lessons that you will learn in this life. Life Lessons, if you will…read more One lesson that is very important is that Gaffer Tape is better than Duct Tape. People sing praises to Duct Tape without having ever experienced true product. The crap that is now sold as Duct Tape is a cheap knockoff. Duct Tape is what Heating and AC Guys would use on Ducting, the utility tape that is sold under this moniker now is a far cry from the original. Gaffer Tape, however, is unchanged from its true original form. Easily torn in pieces but strong enough to stay together. Fiber reinforced tape, simple enough but exceptionally useful stuff. If you are heading to places unknown and need to survive. Gaffer Tape could save your life. Emergency shelter or impromptu clothing. I have made several Hipster PDAs index card cases from my rolls of Gaffer Tape. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrlithic/25403692/ RS is the place I go to get decent gaffer tape. They may sell other things but if I need a roll of gaffer tape - I head to RS. Only problem is that they often only have a couple colours. Black would be best but i somehow end up having to buy Green or Orange rolls of the stuff.
