    Oh sorry B, that can't be nice - where about are you - ie in the middle/left/right - don't need give an *exact* location!

    I'm thinking you might be 2/3 way up on the far right if you're snow didn't go from before?

    Ooh, so we will be waving to you on the way past Beanielou! :D Pah to being stuck in the house, can't be nice at all :( It's mightily difficult even for the most stoical of us with well working legs, can't imagine what a pest it is for others :(

    I've got pancakes made for the picnic :D And a couple of presents wrapped (couldn't do Mr Daffs', he was sitting there! :rotfl:) Just having a cuppa and a pancake, then popping off to get train tickets.

    Somehow haven't managed to PACK yet either :rotfl:

    My own region before I turned into a choochter up north. My OH is a Fifer and I'm from the 'tother side of a certain river

    My pal down that way told me it not great there!

    Cheery

    Looked at the weather below freezing all week til thurs. When it gets upto 4 ;)

    Oh and we've a severe weather warning again due to snow :rotfl:you got to laugh.


    I guess the train will work out about the same as petrol/ferry?

    If I get away it will cost me about £200 to get to central scotland.

    Going through one supervisors red pen comments - only about 70 on a 7k word doc - thought I'd feel worse looking at it tomorrow

    Only anohter 3 conflicting comments to recieve on this particular chapter!

    Oh well, be done soon.

    Hope you're packing alot of clothes - and a torch - I don't have one (dunno why I live in the middle of nowhere in the dark) I think maybe the torches are in the camping gear at the bottom of a cupboard full of packing boxes.

    I'm excited too - I hope we make the concert at the cathederal - then we'll feel VERY xmassy

    Of course the cello player will steal the day at the concert - she's very talented.

    B - you do have the very good beaches and a lack of mountains which folks make you climb up - which is also good.

    I love Fife, so many beaches, so little time and of course brilliant ice-cream in that very lovely shop in st a - pity OH wants to move to the mountainous north - I'd happily live on a beach there, although I'm not posh enough I don't think.:rotfl:

    Fife is the destination for me and my turkey during the festive period.

    Yep, pretty much the same either way - would have been about £200 diesel I think, plus £112 return on the ferry, and this way it's £232 on the train, £34 in a hostel, and only £60 return on the ferry - so not much in it!

    Been and picked up train tickets from the station :D

    (still not packed though :rotfl: Must find a torch - not sure I've got a sensible one :eek:) - ooh, might have headtorch somewhere! :T

    Have got lots of warm clothes though - umming and ahhing about which coats to bring :rotfl:

    Pah to silly supervisory comments - you'll get there, all be over soon xx
