    I can really only go to meets that I can get there and back to on the same day so I dont have to stay over.

    It's nearly a year since I've seen you, Beanie and Ell :(

    Yep. DH works just near there, he said it was -17.5 where he was. Woodford recorded -17.6. He came home in such a state, bless him :rolleyes:

    Aww Spud your poor DH ! Just think though -maybe not the easiest time to try and lose weight.

    I know Spud, its a year gone September since I have seen Jinks too. I was just saying to her today that we must make a promise to get together this year.

    I am still thinking of planning a Durham meet sometime near Easter hols with maybe Beamish museum being on the cards as something to do in the day.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    The only way I cant see it working is I think you mean Bank Holiday? If it is I would guess the hotel/accomodation price's will be high. Also if its a nice weekend it will be packed down there, although that wasnt a problem last time :confused:

    Out of interest what are the dates, just to check now what prices are at just now?

    i think it was a bank hol when peeps met last year and got some rooms quite reasonably priced.

    He could barely drive home, the steering wheel was so cold, he had no hat or gloves. When he came in, he was dithering :rotfl:

    I know it isnt the best time of year, but SW is OK really for winter stodge like pasta, potatos etc. I've got to try ;)
