Bloggers Bingo Picnic

On Tuesday eve, I was invited to the Costa Bingo bloggers picnic in Hyde Park. Having recently moved to London, it was nice to meet some 'local bloggers' at the event -

It was really well hosted by the fun ladies at Greenlight digital  - not only were there delicious sandwiches and crisps to tuck into  -

But yummy "bingo cupcakes" too -

Totes not a beauty blogger.

There was a little squirrel who came to the party -

I fed him some sandwich because - we had all eaten enough for several small armies and there were still boxes left over. (Guess what Warren had for dinner? Yep. Sandwich - smuggled back in my handbag. Thanks Greenlight - husband loved it. And it made a fab change from me serving him popcorn.)

Finally we got down to the bingo business -

Georgina and I won the first game, and I think Joanna won the second.
But whatevs. As soon as you win the first game you stop counting.

Just before we left we were given some awesome gift bags -
"Keep Calm and Play Bingo"
(am gonna keep this bag for when Husband and I retire to Shady Pines)
Just kidding guys - Bingo isn't just for old people - we had such fun playing!

The goodie bags were filled with retro candies and sweets - 

and let me ask you this, when last did you have a candy-treat necklace or bracelet?
Probably when you were about 5.


Me?

Last night - 



Thanks so much for inviting me to this event! Had a really fun (and delicious) evening and it was so good to meet up with some new London Bloggers!

Looks like good fun! I am a big Bingo fan - we play in the Berg every holiday and that feeling when you beat all 200 little kids for their R10... #priceless
