in full woad & wolfskins?

I've only ever been as far as the ground floor, one time I was with my oldest son who had bright blue hair at the time, the top-hatted doorman's face was a picture as he ushered us in :rotfl:
although I thought he would have been well used to the blue-rinse brigade

I'm gutted. I was looking at train times and remembered it's my DD2's birthday party that day so I wont be able to come after all. I was getting really excited as well. Never mind. Maybe another time.

Hi all

I echo Marie in announcing disappointment, had a good look at the fares and there are no cheap ones - and if I came with DH the night train would cost us upwardsof £360 - making this trip prohibitively expensife for just one and a half days! I would make the effort if I could stay a few days, as I really want to visit Edinburgh again, so I hope you will arrange another meet in spring/early summer. Sorry about this, ladies, and I hope you all have a great time out there and don't do anything I would not do (this leaves you PLENTY of leeway, don't worry LOL)!

O drat. Will all the ladies who cant come, please co-ordinate their summer holidays and come in July on the same weekend !!

I'm trying soooo hard to work out whether or not I can do this!! As for the question about ages - I'm 29 so class as under 30 (although only just ). Its a 3 hour drive from here and I have no car so would need to borrow one or get the train AND as I'm a single mummy I'm not sure what I could do with DS. I'd either need to get an overnight sitter or bring him with me. Thinking it might be a bit of a trial if I bring him tho

Slightly gutted that its looking unlikely - I'd love to meet all you lovely people

Name a date and we will stick it on the diary - so we can book the train ticket 12 weeks in advance, too!

I'm now wondering if any men are attending! Not that it's a problem if they're not....

Where are you elf06, maybe you could get to somewhere else and cadge a lift?(oh and I am 36 for those of you whe need to know, but I don't mind talking to the old codgers*ducking again*)

Caterina do you not do buses? What about those megabus £5 fares?

meanmarie

Have now looked at Ryanair site for a one day visit like I did to Glasgow....its coming out at around €70 if OH comes, only real problem is that we would arrive around 8am and return at 6.25pm....would make lunch a good option, need to talk to OH as not sure he will want the hassle just for the one day.....bit of a wuss really!

Talk later

Marie
