    Just thinking about an Eastern meet as i know we're getting a few now, as far as I can see we have Pauper1, vivw, Lilysue, Bunglegirl and me. Locations are, King's Lynn, Norwich, Lowestoft, Norwich and Stowmarket. Lowestoft needing to use train to get to meet.

    Any suggestions as to where would be a suitable place or any other restrictions on getting there. I can only do Saturdays or Sundays after 21st June and would probably have to bring the Littlemeister as well :rolleyes: :D

    Hmm what a good idea :) Sats and Suns are best with me too. And seeing as I'm the only one further down south, I suggest we meet slightly more northwards, towards the rest of you. It makes sense for one person to travel further up, than a lot of you travel down!
    I don't really have any restrictions, I can use my car to get almost anywhere (as long as it lets me - stupid thingy!) or get OH to take me, as he's good like that :)
    I've been wanting to travel up to Norfolk for a while now, in fact we were going to spend a weekend on the Norfolk coast, so anywhere near the sea would be great with me :D
    If anyone has posted re this meet since Kaz's post, I'm very sorry and will probably update in a bit, as I wrote this as I got to this post knowing that there's a couple of pages left for me to read!
    :)

    Edit - Ahh good, just read the rest of the posts, no one replied to Kaz's post yet, so I don't look silly for being behind! Yesss!

    Sunshinesheli - Good luck with moving in with the OH! I moved in with mine in April, we originally said we wouldn't move in together until at least August!! :D I just couldn't wait, so I can't imagine how excited you will be come July!

    Riversidejo - I thought holidays were supposed to ease tension and calm you down!! I hope your head gets better ((hugs))

    Have a nice night sleep everyone, off to beddybyebyes for me :) xx

    Tried to go swimming tonight but totally thwarted. First went after work and found I'd packed two bikini tops and didn't think pool staff would appreciate me skinny dipping.

    Then went to the local pool and missed last entry by five min after flying and chatting to friend about another pal with girlfriend probs.

    Hmpf.

    On a late shift tomm so may try to go in the AM but need to go and get my nails done..hmmm.

    Evening all,

    Hugs to everyone who needs them, especially Rosepink - thanks for being concerned about my dinner last night - won't even mention what I had tonight!

    Not done much flying either, although think I can actually get to sleep in my own bed tonight as room is coming together nicely. Since video recorder (I [STRIKE]am[/STRIKE] was in the dark ages) broke down, I have thrown out about 100 video tapes - was quite upset cos there were good films on them. So have cleared some storage in the livingroom, will probably get filled out with more junk, but at least it will be hidden away!

    Watching Eleventh Hour (Refus Sewell is lurvley) til eleven then off to bed I go! Nite all x

    I must admit I've just got him to remotely log on again (it's a clamped down network but, as an administrator, he has remote access) and the little chick is still moving occasionally! No sign of the other eggs hatching yet. Apparently, once all the chicks have hatched, they put them in another box and send them back from whence they came to be reared. They are currently in the science lab it seems.

    I am pottering a bit. But am really tired so I'm going to go to bed soon and be really naughty and LEAVE THE WASHING UP UNTIL THE MORNING.
