I just want to know they got it, doesn't worry me to much when it's accepted (as long as it's before may!) what scares me is having to do the whole thing again! I checked my credit card but nothing yet, I'm going to give till a week monday and then start crying to people!

Hi Cath,

Will double check and confirm with you all.

You are very welcome to come - we are a friendly bunch...it literally is we take over the pub by pushing a few tables together. It isnt an organised event - but you will spot us all.

HI
After much soul searching i have come to a major decision.
It is not often in life you get the chance to meet so many people all sharing the same dreams. People like this are hard to find and should be embraced with wide open arms when you find them.
SO for that reason, count me in, Ive cancelled my holiday and Im coming out to play with you lot! Im sure i will have much more fun anyway

lol. bolton better than perth anyway, 37 degrees today!!!!! IN AUTUMN!!!

Seriously tho, ill organise another one in June for me n clares swansong if you arent around for this one. I think itll be Cathnpauls too. Me n Clare are off in August but the last 10weeks will be busy having hangovers so we are doing one early so there is no rush at the end(unless someone else organises one in August!)

Great to see quite a few in numbers this time. All thanks to you starting this post!

Sorry we took over.

Me n Cath are just old hands now.LOL

Did you email The TRA?
If so what happened. pm me if you lke.

sorry, could help it as im a prestonian as of birth!!

glad to see quite a few newbies too as the older ones are off this year mainly.

All should go quiet now until a few days before so dont panic everyone.
There are always a few drop outs and last minute newbies so hold tight.
