My mum just went to collect our meat and stuff from the cash and carry and I totally forgot to tell her to get mehndi (usually we have a supply from Pak, my uncles sends us some everytime someone is coming back to the uk) but not this time If eid is tomorrow (which everyone in my area is saying is most likely) then I shall be mehndi-less…
Here’s the pic of my one hand mehndi last eid and what I did for my cousin Sara in pak last year… I ripped off the design from a girl in the village whos mehndi we went to (except hers was much much better!)
@CEO1 My neighbours are all white. lol. My mums mate lives about 10 mins away, but her daughters don't even fast in Ramadhan, they aren't big on Islam, so they're not an option, and none of my friends live in my town (they all live in surrounding areas) nor do my relatives (They all live in Blackburn, I live in the Manchester area) I'm gonna see if any cash and carrys are open in the morning, otherwise I have those stick on mehndi things... but whenever I try to get them on, I mess it up.

Wo0ot Wo0ot. Big up Manchester :D
Lol, white neighbours. Get them to wear mehndi too my mum always does. Lol.
Haha, your mum sounds ace. I used to fundraise by putting mehndi on the white folk (as well as asian) they love the stuff, always used to ask how long it would last etc
Oooh you have one up on me, I was born in Blackburn, very much raised in Manchester though since age 4 (alhamdulillah).
Aww, me and my sister have two black christian friends, who are twins, called Sam and Andrew and every eid my mum would invite them to our house and give them Eidi and they used to call our mum, mum. Alas, they've moved to Sheffield now, so no visit from them this year :(
Show off. And btw manchester has horrible transport links so ha! .. Besides ab mere parne likhne ke din gaye. Ab kaam shaam, life and then some more kaam

And sheesha almost everywhere! but yeah youre right age isnt an issue but its the moolah now (money) InshaAllah hoping to do my pgce there soon though! fingers crossed
