Shucks. It's all Minks's fault.

My kids think it hilarious when I use everyone's forum names to explain who's going at the weekend...this is scary because it sounds so "normal" to me but must seem crazy to a non forum member.

OMG it's only a few days now.

Your good fortune is that you have picked a name that sounds appropriate enough for giving to a new baby daughter.

In fact - maybe when I get back I'll start a thread on who's got the most ridiculous name! Chosen in a moment of blissful inattention, ours forever!!

I agree OM. But my kids' irreverence knows no bounds when it comes to their mother..."You're called what, mum?? Theia?? Oh how embarrassing"

You can always have a laugh with kids.

It would be worth going through the members' list. There are over 3,000 registered members.

I am packing Jeans, turtle necks and sweaters. But Ive decided to wear pajamas on the plane. So I can go to sleep, and not be wrinkled in the morning.

So, I've got to keep an eye out for a lady wearing pyjamas. That's a great clue.:wah:

It's 10.30 am here and I'm at work and shouldn't really be on the internet at all....I'll pick up your PMs by sneaking in here once in a while, or I can pick up my HOTMAIL.

I'll be available to be SKYPED in 8 hours from now ...

The UK is almost exactly 5 hours ahead of you (Virginia) which is why everyone 'over there' is starting to enjoy their evening when we're about to stagger to bed

I'm not sure if I've missed a post, but do we have a list of who's going on the 6th...I've lost track in all the excitement...

I'm getting really excited ( and I've only got a 2.5 hour drive to Ravens).....can't start to imagine how Minks and Weeder must be feeling with the time so close...and Theia and Betty with their 330 mile journey....6 hours is a long drive, don't forget to have 3 or 4 breaks.

:)

With just a little over 48 hours to go, I just wanted to let everybody know that needs to, my mobile will be on constantly if you need to contact me for anything.

I'm really excited about meeting you guys! Chat with y'all soon!:-4

I should be thinking of shifting my base up to London - I've been waiting for the election before I move, but that's tomorrow. What else will I need? Towel? Hat?

Yippee only 48 hours now until I head off for this HUGE occasion, I am so excited.

I REALLY hope this is wrong, (and knowing forecasters it quite easily could be,) but I just had a looksy at the weather for London over the weekend. Every day appears to be very nice, except yes you guessed it Saturday, where it's supposed to be a good chance of some rain.

Fingers crossed that they are wrong!!!

Hehehe quite true, and anyway I'm sure that all our high spirits will conquer whatever the weather has to deal to us!!

I'm going to have to make sure that I go to bed really early tonight, because I'm likely to get no sleep at all tommorow hehehe.
