A Line of Duty themed hen party!!

Posted by Lisa Shaw on Saturday, May 29, 2021, In : General 
So I read on Twitter recently that a woman in Belfast had a Line of Duty inspired hen party!! That is just genius and combines two of my favourite things! If you haven't heard of Line of Duty - it is focused around AC 12 (Anti corruption unit) that investigates bent coppers. DCI Kate Flemming and Steve Arnott work with Ted Hastings in trying to find out who the mysterious hen honcho "H" or the fourth man is. It's the best drama on TV I reckon. 

So in homage to this, I've written a little ditty...

Celebrity hen parties

Posted by Lisa Shaw on Thursday, March 7, 2013, In : General 

So the fact that Jennifer Aniston is getting married got me thinking about celebrities and their hen parties. I wonder what our Jenni will get up to for hers? I'm not sure  - but I bet it will involve lots of "Friends."

 *sorry*


So after making up terrible gags, I thought I'd do some research as to what celebrities got up to for their hen parties and I found this great article on Glamour.co.uk

One good way of making sure you stand out in a crowd on a hen do (and also that you don't lose anyone!) is to have your own hen party t-shirts made.

Hen party at the races

A hen do watching horse racing can be great fun! Get yourself dolled up, grab yourself a member's ticket, drink some champagne and have a flutter or two.

Heel stoppers!

Posted by Lisa Shaw on Tuesday, May 15, 2012, In : General 

I was at a wedding this last weekend (a lovely do - congratulations Mr and Mrs Ross!) and there was one girl who was wearing one of the best inventions I have ever seen. 

They are called heel stoppers and they basically stop your heels from sinking into the grass!!! How clever is that!

You slot what looks like a mini clear funnel over your heels and there is a little plastic disc (again clear) at the end which stops your heels from sinking into the ground. 


A quick Google shows that they are qui...
