    Really good of you to contact so many peeps, SB, specially as you don't claim to be the fastest PC operator in the world. What can we find you to do in the future?

    I was wondering if Mr Knight would like to receive a few hundred e-mails saying 'thanks'?

    Aw thanks SB :A

    Have a good rest SB - you'll need your energy for the party! :beer:

    Gosh, just read a few pages from that time...

    Feel I relived it!

    Even more apprehensive than I was about tomorrow now! And we've been watching out for trailers for the programme, but none so far.

    I may not sleep too well tonight.

    Oh, I didn't mean to upset you. You may as well get a good night's sleep - what's done is done - you can't go back and freshen up your make-up now. Maybe you could find a wig though and tell people that you're not quite sure why your hair looks so strange on telly?? :D

    Yay! Finally caught up and read every single post!

    OMG! I can't believe I missed so much and have been awol for so long. I think I am going through time warps, weeks seem to pass by in the blink of an eye. I have thought about you all very often and have lurked occasionally, just not posted. I couldn't remember where I lurked up to so decided to re read the whole thread. I now have square eyes but it was so worth it!

    SB, you would not believe how many times you made me cry reading through this thread, both laughing tears and touching tears, you seriously crack me up!

    Just reading the snippets of memories from our Littlehampton expedition brought tears to my eyes, Gawd know's what I'm going to be like tomorrow night!

    Psycho, just recently I read the text you sent to us to let us know you were home safe and sound and that song on the radio as you left - very apt - (I Can't Live If Living Is) Without You by Harry Nilsson. And you started us off again!!! lol! Anyway, I'm glad I wasn't the only one that did it in the street mid sentence!

    Maty, I still have your text too!

    Thank you all for being such wonderful people, it was an honour and a privilidge to meet you all and I can't wait to meet more of you when we all descend on Littlehampton in 2011! Hopefully Satan ll (Son Of Satan) won't be overheating all the way there! Gosh that was fun, driving 200 miles with my heater on full pelt on what was probably the hottest day of the year!

    I think tomorrow I'm going to sit here with a bedsheet because no amount of tissues is going to be enough. Actually, if I use a dirty one I won't need to wash it afterwards will I? How MSE is that?!!

    SB, what was you saying about bad habits?

    Can't wait to really catch up with you all again!

    Off to bed now, sooner I get to sleep the sooner I can wake up and go to work and get home.

    I may even crack open a bottle of Bacardi.

    Cheers to you all, especially Mike, without whom none of this would have happened!
