    Miggy,

    I'll be mega-busing it down from the Boro. Think it was about £13 each way to Victoria. Then we could train it. Alternatively we could drive down together.

    I was budgeting about £50 for the weekend but then I am tight (and unemployed!)

    How about bus Miggy? or train to London and you can jump in with Maty or me?

    Thanks for the offer Psycho, though I think the train will be too much for me anyway.

    That would probably be best for me - somehow £13 plus train sounds a lot better than £200! LOL. Boro's easy from here.

    I've just spent the evening with friends arranging a few summer things to do - suddenly my summer is getting busy! :)

    Billie, we're quite a long way 'oop North', Butti's further than I am but not, I think, by very much. Think 'York' then keep driving for about 45mins.

    I had just posted that when a virus alert came up and I had that to sort because it wouldn't let me do anything else.
    I still haven't fixed the keyboard: am having to go through and insert spaces where it isn't acknowledging the spacebar (my fault for taking the bar up to clean it then discovering it doesn't go back easily). However, the tray is now functional again - phew!

    There is now a bit of space in my inbox (sorry about that :o) (oh no the blasted shift key is now sticking too! I am having to un-shout at you :D).

    If you don't mind I'll go and have a lie-down! :rotfl:I'm in need of sleep, having had 2 hours in the last 30: oh, the joys of working nights!

    Ooops, more technical issues Miggy?

    The no spaces thing does make us concentrate, although I am not sure that is fair on a lazy sunday :)
