Hope Carrot doesn't also discover the joy of postie ripping.

Ha! I doubt it. There's not much aggression in him. What there is is mainly adolescent pushing and most of that's aimed at me :P

Little git. He's sweetness and light about 95% of the time. Then for the other 5% he turns into Bitey McBitey of the Clan McBitey.

I should stress i don't mean actual biting. More nipping at trouser legs and sleeves and clamping mouth round hand that kind of thing. Trying to get a rise out of me. If he does it enough, my patience snaps. usually when I am trying to do something like make a brew and have a kettle in one hand and a cup in the other and he's nipping at my ankles...I tell him off and he skitters off most delighted at the fun game.

Four more sleeps in my own bed

Sundae · 12-21-2012, 10:24 AM

No more sleeps in my own bed!

Still not packed because after all it's only really one night, and the clothes I use as jammies (in company) are a t-shirt and leggings anyway, so I'll probably travel up in them. Don't worry - I washed them this morning!

Leaving the house about 20.00 I think - will double check train times. Still ridiculously early, but the radio has been full of Travel Distress today, so I don't want to leave anything to chance.

Still yet to decide what to wear. This is not like me, I'm usually so over-excited I have it planned down to my knickers for weeks in advance. It's partly the weight loss and partly the awful skin dots. I gave two whole bags of size 18-20 clothes to charity last year, so I have very few smaller items to fit into. Something I managed to forget until I went to ferret them out. And because I'm such a hot person I have many tops and dresses that show a lot of flesh - not great when you look like you have measles. Oh and best options are things that are l-o-n-g in the leg. Will act like perfect wicks for all the rain. Lovely.

Anyway, enough moaning!
I have printed off walking directions from the bus station to the Alamo. It's only 1.4 miles in the end. Did more than that today.

Can't wait to see you both (Dana and Limey I mean - never sure if other people are reading this!) Here's hoping none of us get washed away by the rain en route.

BigV · 12-21-2012, 11:23 AM

I hope you all have a great time!

DanaC · 12-21-2012, 12:13 PM

I won't be getting there til 4pm I'm afraid. Needed time to walk Carrot and spend a little time with him in the morning before leaving him at Mum's and also have bath etc. So my train is at 12:26

Nirvana · 12-21-2012, 12:40 PM

Have a fabulous time ladies! I hope there will be pictures!

Sundae · 12-21-2012, 12:44 PM

Sorry to hear we'll be deprived of your company until nealy dinner time!
Come hungry, chick.

And Nirv, no way I am leaving my camera in the hotel room this year.
Although Limes did a very good job with her mobile (Blackberry?) last year.
Photos galore, I promise. You'll wish you never asked.

Am on a countdown.
Less than an hour before I leave the house.

I am in the playoffs, vying for fifth place.

Oh, sorry, thought this was the fantasy football thread.

Nice pic, gurlz. Sundae, you can really see you're smaller by your face. I want my skinny face back!

Waiting for the full report...

Lola Bunny · 12-23-2012, 08:59 AM

You guys look so happy.

I see your smaller face too, Sundae. It's a shame that you lost weight because of an illness and not because you just did.
