PAID thats ok we are used to you now :rotfl:

Love the idea of a moon walk meetup - designer bags and bras. I did it a few years ago. Put off by crappy organisation - no where near enough loos, few places where we bottle necked and had to literally stop walking and we got really cold.
I now prefer the idea of running a marathon but think I'm probably mad :eek:Looking for the perfect home and saving to make becoming a MFW easier

There was one year where it was really badly organised (mind you last year the start was a shambles) but I don't mind too much. annd TMI but I don't ever need to pee much so the loos weren't a big deal for me.
I had an unexpected NSD today :T result, I think that makes 2 in the last week :T :T
