    My dietary requrirements quite simple :

    Lemon to accompany Gordon ;) Just kidding before anyone gets the impression I'm a lush :o.

    How old is your DD Taxi ? Really looking forward to meeting you both & everyone else too.

    PM on it's way Wol ...

    DD is 21 ...and is looking forward to it...she's my youngest.

    Sorry I haven't been around..have been rushed off my feet saving people money and I was away for Sunday night. I decided to use my christmas present (£50) so I booked a place on a photography course and decided to stay the night in the village pub in a room that was fit for a queen..deep plush carpets, large comfy bed, flat screen tv, nice view of windmill, huge bathroom where you had to climb a step to get into the bath..all very swish.

    Had better book these coach tickets otherwise I shall never do it Ticket for 1 to East Grinstead please (I take it that it is East Grinstead that I need to travel to?)..my brain is like a sieve at the mo. I am off on another photography course in August and staying in a hotel for a couple of nights so I get some kind of relaxing break.

    Foodwise: no fish, seafood, curry, overly spiced stuff, offal, mushrooms, coleslaw - otherwise am ok with most other things except tangerines as they are ewww.

    I am ok with stirring, chopping, moving furniture.

    Do you want me to bring anything other than my podgy self?

    Quickie post...

    I finally have a fridge back in my kitchen :j:j:j:j (first time in 9 weeks :eek:)

    Builders will be here until end of next week so I am massively behind in putting everything to rights :o

    Horace - Forest Row is a couple of stops on from East grinstead (Eastbourne coach from Victoria). No need to bring anything unless of course you want to [STRIKE]bring some booze[/STRIKE] half inch some dandelions between the village and my house for your nephew ;)

    Last time I heard from Z he was deffo planning on being here for The Rave :j:j

    Lula - will reply to your PM tomoz Hun thank you - and don;t worry - plenty of Gordon to go round :D

    KC - will be getting some quorn and will be doing special veggie BQ stuff but please bring what you fancy ;)

    Tenmah - thank you for your good wishes :)

    George - about 40 at the last count :eek:

    Must dash - please keep fingers and paws crossed - Grommie old timer is ailing...:(.....he has developed fluid in his chest, can;t breathe very well and has lost 10% of his body weight over last three days so have been up all night each night since sunday feeding him - Good news is he seems to have rallied today albeit he is very frail - I am determined he will be here for The Rave :) (and so, it seems, is he :T).

    Horace - your nephew Ginger was finally pronounced healed on sunday night - it has taken an age (8 weeks to be exact) for his wound to finally mend - so stopped the antibiotics etc on sunday only for him to develop a urninary infection on monday :mad: (He is clearly determined to go back to the nurses ;)) - he is due back in the vets tomorrow for samples to be taken but is very chipper in himself and much [STRIKE]naughtier[/STRIKE] perkier for his weight loss.

    Apart from the piggies antics - all is progressing well - they finished papering hall landing and stairs today :T. I have been sleeping during the day owing to all night Grommie vigil :o

    Back friday

    Whoosh........

    I'm glad everything's going well, Wol - and twice a day, y'know, I've been meaning to pm you about Z - glad to hear he'll be coming.

    And I hope all the piggies are ok.

    Thanks for the update on the piggies...I shall be down on 29th July and returning home on 2nd August.

    I will arrive at Forest Row at 16.40 on the Thursday night - my coach leaves Birmingham at 11.30am (I was only given the choice of 1 coach from Bham and this one to Forest Row). It will be exciting because I havent been to the new coach station in Bham yet and must remember when I get to Victoria to cross the road to get to departures because arrivals are not in the same building as I seem to recall.

    I am leaving on Monday 2nd August if that's ok Wol? Must remember to pack jimjams so I don't shock anybody with my wanderings to the bathroom.

    I have remember to book via TCB too so that I can get some money back.:D
