    Hellooooooo - I'm back from Manc ! Everyone is even lovelier in real life and I had a fab time. Sorry no photos from me but I am sure some will appear later. The pub was packed and VERY noisy- Rugby blaring from about 3 or 4 televisions so have a bad head now - nothing to do with alcohol of course :rolleyes: - felt sad to leave early and having to say goodbye to everyone :(

    As theres so few people around I can actually keep up with the chat thread. Usually there seems to be about 6 conversations going on a once!

    anyone been on eurostar?

    I'm going in a week but not been before. Been on the eurotunnel loads but this time found a good deal and am going to Paris so thought it would be easy on the eurostar (sadly I can't carry back as much wine as we ususally pack into the car). Bit annoyed that I got an email from AA today offering bogof eurostar tickets when I've already booked but thats life.

    Hi Ellidee, how was Bookie?

    Bookie was fine I think - but I nearly wasn't :eek: I got there about 2 ish and no sign of anyone who looked familiar. Anyway after a few mins I rang Bookie - hers is the only number I have- and she had just arrived at the Hotel with Pania. Then a lady approached me and said 'DFW ? '-It was Webitha and she was wondering where everyone was too ! Boy was I glad to see her ! We had a chat for a few minutes and the next thing the posse arrived ! Everyone at once ! (Well nearly ) So phew - and I thought I was late !

  • My first night with the OH and he isn't here - he has to work. Typical really.

    Just noticed that 'Shawshank' is on...might watch that for what will be the millionth time.
