    I once had to drive to Edinburgh for work. Work to the border - 1 camera. Border to Edinburgh - 42. Basically the same distance...

    Oh my goodness, I am so tired! Sorry I missed you all, I bet you've all signed off for the night now. We have managed to get all the wrapping done, most of the cleaning (just the bathroom to clean and stairs to vac). Better check my list and make sure there's nothing else I've forgotten.
