    oooh can we go to Brighton, never ever been to Brighton, looks nice and interesting and the weather may be better than Glasgow???

    transport sorted, we just need a localish guide, anyone???

    I reckon it's got to be Brighton, pure dead dopey, think we'd be banned from anywhere else now after the way BigMumma ran amok with that lawnmower - and as for curlygirl... well, best not say really;)

    Gulp! Sorry I'm so late posting .....after BigMummaF fell asleep at the wheel of her lawnmower near Knutsford services on the M6 in the wee small hours of Saturday morning, I decided to walk home from there. Have only just arrived home. It's only 20 miles as the crow flies but that meant traversing river, hill and a few unfriendly cows. Am exhausted! And after sleeping rough for 2 nights I've ruined my tarten outfit :(
    (ps. No NSDs for me yet)
    Hi curlygirl, glad you're OK, was worried about leaving you with those unfriendly cows:rotfl:. You must be shattered, have a lovely cup of tea and one of Nargle's butterfly cakes, you'll feel better then;)

    Nargle, I notice Spoon didn't offer you her pink fluffy handcuffs! Though what she doesn't know is that I "acquired" them on Friday night while she was munching on her haggis pitta (well some-one had make sure that poor policeman wasn't harrassed in Glasgow too ;)). So here, have Spoon's if you like them better!

    That's what I was thinking, nicca:rotfl:

    snooty.gif We have very expensive tastes.........but then it was MrT'sExpress so there you go :rotfl: and very nice it was too 3.gif.

    Liking the sound of Brighton. Never been there. We can bring the Spandau Ballet kilt guy. He'd fit right in :rotfl:..........and the pink handcuffs :T

    Oh dear... perhaps what happens on NSD crew outings should stay on NSD crew outings!

    Had a productive (spend) day today. Did a big food shop too so hopefully there will be plenty of NSDs over the rest of the week.

    Handcuffs and pink fluffy handcuffs - gee, thanks guys!
    Now attention please, you lot, someone mentioned Brighton, and there's a lot to sort out. Deckchairs, icecreams, LfV's man in a skirt, and don't forget the sore bottom cream - that beach is supposed to be full of stones!
