PS..Butti, sorry to have missed you too...next time? Told OH you were sad to have missed me, he said you must be! Yours if you want 'im!

I've got nobody at the mo SB. Do you think he's worth having?

Mike I thought you were depressed at the time, not trapped in the house!

Might be having a small tincture now - medicinal of course..?

A bunch of neighbours apparently is having a DIY SOS party up the road and we've been asked along for soup and drinks and to watch it with them. We'll say How Do but I think we should be here at home to watch it together.

Left it a bit late to ask!

Bless them.

As well as the 8 million viewers, there are friends and families of everyone involved in the production, and the music and all that. Big array of people. And they're all going to get excited and watch it at the same time! What a strange world!

I guess your neighbours mean well but how many of them realised the state you were living in before this all happened. No , you and the boys must watch alone, record it, and watch it again all night. As you say, bit late to invite you now. In particular they wouldn't understand your emotions when you watch.

It's not a strange world Mike, it is a really wonderfull world where some people still exist that do things for the love of it and not the money. Enjoy every moment Mike, I raise my glass of mulled wine (third actually) to you and your lovely boys - this couldn't have happened to a nicer family.

Keep the front door locked incase people think you have open house tonight - perish the thought. Turn the lights out and draw the curtains = enjoy.

PS. Your viewing audience extends to Holland and all my friends and rellies who have all received emails in the last two days.

SB* - I think Butti has just made you an offer you can't refuse! Of course I'm here. Getting any laptop time at home with my parents, my 4 year old nephew and a 7 month old puppy was pretty impossible though! Was glad to get back to work for a rest!

Maty, thank god you got the crisps and dips, I'm bl**dy starving. My friend who was cooking me dinner is too hungover. Pah! And I've not been anywhere near any food shops since I got back!

My t-shirt has never been washed yet! I didn't want all the signatures to be washed away so instead it's been lounging at the bottom of the washing basket it with all the other stuff that needs hand washed!!!

A big hello to lots of familair faces! (Well ok, avi's and thread names!) Great to see you all back here for the party!

Mike - I'm terrified! Don't know about you! Excited - is that what that slightly nauseous feeling is?

Raising a glass to absent friends! And for the rest of us here, grab some of this

Mike, lovely that the neighbours thought of asking you but I can well understand why you would want to watch it with just you and the boys.

Have rung round the family to make sure everyone is OK and to make sure they don't ring me between 8 & 9 this evening - have made it very clear I am otherwise occupied

Psycho won't be here with me sadly and is having technical issues so won't be at the online party either She does send her love and says she is here in spirit - she didn't specify if that was Gin, Vodka but I suspect it will be Malibu in her case :rotfl:

Have set the DVD up to record it as well so fingers crossed it works - was going to video so that I could transfer to DVD as many times as needed but it has eaten one of those this afternoon already :mad:

So scared of missing anything I am actually sat here ready to go and there is still 30 minutes to wait :eek:

Now, has everyone got a drink and something to eat? Can you all make sure you have been to the loo too as we can't have you nipping off mid programme

Oooh, did you hear that???? The smallest house, but the biggest job they have ever done :eek::T:eek: We are soooooo close now :j:j:j

Ummmm, forgot my own drink - back in a mo

Poosmate

I'm here but off to make my favourite food, cheesy sprouts! Yay! Now that's party food!!!

I can't wait! Must make a few more last minute phone calls too!

So sorry Psycho can't be with us virtually but she'll be with us in spirit I'm sure!

See you all at the kick off!

Am ready and waiting handing round all the food and drink - help yourselves people. Don't want 8.00p.m. to come because it will be gone in a flash - going to try and set DVD. SO EXCITED...... going to meet some of you. Billie xx

Woop, I'm here. Been waiting quietly in the background. So excited. Can't imagine how weird it is going to be for you Mike seeing all the stuff that went on when you weren't there. I hope you enjoy it though. x :-)
