  • Seeing as I am travelling with you, I will do my best!

    My name on here is also very boring, so there isn't much I could wear or put on a badge to distinguish me.

    .............and no, I am not going to wear a nurses uniform!

    I think we'll all do just fine, spotting each other etc.

  • Hi All

    Looks like everyone has been having fun!!

    Just popping in to say 7 AFD so far,Had a really bad night with asthma last night so didnt make it into work today.

    Ended up falling back to sleep until 1 o'clock this afternoon and slept on my mobile which has now decided to not work grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

    Really hoping I will make it to the curry just need to sort accomodation out for the night. Was hoping to take the Monday off but my co-worker already off that day...never mind.

    Need to do a lot of catching up on the thread so will try to post again soon.

    love to all
