    Didn't do geography, anywhere in particular?

    VW eos, 1.4 in black.
    If I was going to go for it, I'd call then, drop a deposit, go, test drive etc, agree purchase, & arrange to return & collect it I guess.
    What's BCA?

    Does he knows that flying Club gives you both lounge access?

    Really fed up. Have booked two business class flights in the USA. They don't come with lounge access. Makes you wonder what the premium is for.

    I'm back too now. Horrid traffic on my way home :(

    I'm going to reserve the rat and rabbit until the weekend I think.

    The 1 /4 Pinter is about the best behaved person of that size I have met. And with a gorgeous timbre of voice, not in the least shrill, amazing actually. NDG is extremely good and extremely clever.

    Can I just mention how absolutely elegant spirit looked, here I was going 'doesn't matter, its just us friends' and in she walked looking as elegant as can be!


    I had a minor panic pre ikea. I went shopping elsewhere, and was about to buy a gorgeous handbag and some sub glasses when I realised I had not got my wallet with me. Luckily it was still in the car, but I regret not getting the handbag, I find it hard to choose hardbags!

    ( I don't find it hard to buy sunglasses but I have lots of them because I wear them all the time, day and night, I've been known to sleep in them, and to lose the pair I've put on top of my head so stick another pair over my eyes. ). There are sunglasses all over my house. Its imperative I wear them.

    I have NP meet envy. From those on today's outing, I have met lir and PN, but I really want to meet Spirit & NDG (and of course Kermie) too.
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    Awwww... did you get Kermie cuddles? :)

    Viva and Lydia - definitely up for convening an MK splinter coven. Fewer meetings at the moment, so also possibility of my using some annual leave and going mid-week if that suits you both better.

    I feel very strongly you would get on well with both in real life very well.

    We overran on time a lot. I think poor NDG and kermie will be shattered. :( he was so good.:smileyhea:smileyhea

    Would you consider a slightly darker/ bluer turquoise? Might be better with the brick? Or something like arsenic ( fand b )

    Otherwise its good fun, and if it makes you smile its doing a very important job. :)
