Default Hello........and cheerio for a little while!

Hi all

I haven't been on the forum very much at all just lately; although I have enjoyed catching up with reading several threads this evening.

I'm off to the UK on Monday (16th) and won't be back until 9th August, so I just wanted to say "hi" and "bye!!"

I'm going specifically to see the lad I used to support at school (and all his classmates) because they're all leaving Primary school and venturing out into the big world!
I'm going to join in all their celebrations at the end of term
When I first started work with them, they were all gappy toothed 7 year olds, and now here they are taking a bit step into the next part of their lives, bless them.
Leaving my job (and my parents!) were the only things I was sad about when we left the UK, so this will be a nice trip - even if the weather is abysmal!

Hopefully, I'm going to be meeting up with one of the UK members of the forum too, so that will be very exciting

Have been really busy with various jobs and things just recently, and am now trying to get all sorts of other things done before I go away!
Nothing mind blowing, or even remotely interesting really; just "stuff"

No doubt I'll miss all sorts of things on here while I'm away, and I won't have a hope of catching up with everything when I get back!

Just wanted to wish everyone well, and will look forward to chatting again next month.

Take care all

Love Sam xx

Thanks Pete,

Thankfully I'm not doing any driving (not my favourite activity!)

Nice short flight Madrid to Bristol, and then lots of lovely friends ferrying me around from place to place in my old neck of the woods

Was up till 3am today, planning various train and coach options for when I want to venture a bit further afield.
You'll be proud of me though - managed to find several bargains

Hope to hear you've got a buyer for your house by the time I come back.
Best of luck on that front.

Cheers!
Sam.

Hmmmmmm
"Sam" "Drive" and "Carefully" not 3 words you would usually put in the same sentance!

You will have a great time being reunited with the lads that you supported. They have probably all changed so much, learnt and adapted to various things and you will be thrilled to see their achievements.

Enjoy being with your friends and family and generally have a great time. It sounds like you will be so busy that you will need to come back to Spain for a rest.

We will miss you but so happy that you are to have this wonderful feedback.

Have a good trip Sam. And I'd just like to echo what Matt said. Your absence of late is noted I hope you find time to visit us more.

No doubt Mr B will be in Poker heaven during your trip away

Me and Smarties await you at the tables Sir

Sam is having enough trouble deciding what to wear without having to consider wellies too!
20kg on Easyjet is just not enough, how do you pack for an english summer? Bless her, I'm steering clear.
Hope you came out unscathed in the floods Jandy!

Hi thank goodness the floods did not effect us at all,we live on a hill,there were hundreds that are still affected to this day.Its been horrendous for thousands,terrible.Its raining again today,for a change....we havn,t had very many dry days for a month or so now,not good.It isn,t cold though,so she should be OK with summer clothes.........although having said that she will need a wooly for the evenings
