Nooooooooooooooo ! lol Not enough room in the car for us to sleep ....... got too much other stuff packet in it ! lmao
On a serious note, I thought i'd better ask in case we've been allocated a pitch ..... don't want to pinch anybody else's ! I hear the natives are ok though
Claire, do you need us to bring stuff for the BBQ? If so what do you need?
Gosh I leave you lot for 5 mins and how many messages for me lol .(its sooo nice to be needed) My daughter is in France this week with the school and has just phoned me sobbing she is home sick needless to say I stayed calm on the phone then had a nervous breakdown when I got off the phone bless her roll on friday when shes home.(God I need a drink)
Hopefully sunshine permitted we'll have a BBQ Sat night just fetch what ever you want to cook i will talk to you when i get there, we can either cook and eat our own food or just put it on a central table and all get stuck in .I like the sharing thing think it brings everyone together but I'll go with the flow

Claire ....... have just received the confirmation email about the weekend. Only one query ....... it says that we have to see you before we set up but we'll be there before you (arriving tomorrow, ok'd with Alan). I presume we'll just give Alan a shout when we arrive - is it ok to do that? And do we pay Alan or you when you arrive?
Thanks.
Jan (nearly packed ! - think we've got everything bar kitchen sink (as usual!!!)
Jan don't worry about it I have told alan you will be getting there before me so he will pitch you as long as you are at the top end of the field thats fine.I want to keep us all together.Pay Alan or me when I get there I don't mind.
Can I place a order for a black coffee please friday afternoon
But there again I could always say you have to wait for me to get there
Thanks Claire, definitely want to stay together. When we went to Lickhill a couple of years ago (our first meet) we didn't know what to do etc and pitched completely away from the group ! Felt like billy-no-mates ! lol
I've just seen the weather and its looking good !!!! 7.20 am here and trying to get kids ready for school (they keep wanting to go now !) and pack last minute things in the van. I just hope I remember everything - forgotton how to do it, been nearly a year since we last went away !
Probably won't get time to post any more today so everyone have a safe journey and i'll make sure the kettle's on !
hello everyone.....just catching up onthe posts....getting excited now.....!!!
but having said that...I NEED A RANT.......(sorry) at parcelforce...!!!!!
its thursday afternoon.....we were waiting for some last min equip to be delivered. Got a note thru' door on weds saying they had tried to deliver it (ok fine). you have some options....one seemed the best - ask them to del to your local post office and collect it there the next day....Great, I thought! so today i went to my local PO after work .....NO PARCEL !!! (its got some airbeds and most importantly our new coolbox) I've been spending the last 11/2 hours trying to get thru' to the local parcelforce dept to find out where our bl**dy parcel is.....all i've got is "our lines are busy"....put on hold & then cut off after 10 mins......AAAAAAArrrrrrgh !
I've just come down with an awful sore throat. Hurts to speak. Oh, and daughter is changing schools, so need to go to new school in the morning and sort out everything for the new term. All a bit of a last minute thing.
Hi everyone ! All packed here ...... should be leaving about 6pm (once childminded children have gone home).
thewysiwygs .......... one double airbed packed in case you need it (we've got one from our camping days and Mick has just popped it in the van) ...... doesn't take up any room so its there if you want it ........ hope you get somewhere with your parcel ! We'll make room in our fridge if you need anything chilled, not got a very big fridge but can at least keep ya milk cold ! (I know it's not ideal !)
Why does the last two hours before a holiday really dragggggggggggggggg !
thanks alot......still no joy with parcel.....Its worse by the fact that I cant even get thru' to anyone even to find out if I can collect from the main depot (30 miles away !)
I dont ususally go into one...but this is really the pits......
thanks for your help tho' and the offer of some bits & space in your fridge (milk ?.....wot about the beer ?)
anyway, by this time tomorrow...we'll be on our way, we'll either have our parcel or not.....ce la vie !!
