Ok so second recon necessary, to see if alcohol is available

Count me in although Steve is on call that week so it will depend on him not being called out late in the day, Fridays are usually ok so

Will the final arrangements be announced on the FB page as I rarely come on here nowadays?

Oh and Steve wont be along for obvious reasons (mainly babysitting so I can go) :-)

Curry? Yay! I'm in. The wife isn't too keen on curry...

Speaking of which, are non-Brits allowed? She'll probably want to tag along

Tell 'er it's chicken in sauce, she'll be fine lol. I find a lot of Canadians say they don't like it and find that they have only had butter chicken (not sure if your wife is Canadian?).

I think we should allow spouses as long as they bring a Brit (or a Scot or a Irish - y'know what I mean)

awesome yay I can't drink anyhoo cos I will have an hour or so's drive home after (Alex are you guys still coming over?) but i'm sure one will be fine

You can always pitch a tent in our yard

I really hope so Mandy, but my husband is in the UK staying with my seriously ill MIL right now, so if it doesn't inconvenience you too much, can I leave it until the last minute to confirm...? He's expected back in time, but it was major cancer surgery that she's had so nothing's 100% certain. If he's back we can make him stay sober and drive home

We all could - sorted!!

see you should have kept that 'luxury trailer' in your yard, we could all have bunked down there lol


Couldn't resist, sorry. My turn to buy the LARGE coffees next time

Alex, sorry to hear about your MIL. Safe journey back home for your OH.

Thinking of you
MJ

Sorry Alex about the news too its not a prob to leave it til last minute.

Thanks for the offer Piff - the last time I camped in a tent I was 15 and the effing thing fell down, plus I know your hubby is prone to setting fire to the back yard so might um turn that offer down

Oh no, I hope all goes well

He wont even light the fire pit now, so I think you'll be safe lol

Thanks everyone - it's all looking good for him to be back on time as the surgery went ok and she's apparently recovering well. Still a long road ahead for her, but out of any immediate danger.

Quick kick up the arse for this thread - meet up is still going ahead - seems like its planned for Friday 30th at around 7.30 at the India Feast restaraunt on the south side of the city
