I’ll see what I can do, but I’m hoping to arrive by 5pm, maybe earlier, depending on when I can leave Lincoln.

We'll probably get there quite early and make a day of it. We've only made it out to Bristol once before so I'd like to have a little mooch around before the actual Blizzard Party. If anyone wants to meet up beforehand, we'd be open to that possibility as well.

+1 on the invitation.

Looks lovely.

I'm officially out, as DH and I will be flying to the US bright and early Saturday morning.  Going to DisneyWorld was always something we wanted to do, and it kept being postponed/cancelled year after year due to periods of severe ill health on my part.  A part of me had accepted that it would probably never happen.   

But DH looked into it from an accessibility point of view, and as I'm enjoying a period of relative stability now, and we had 2 weeks booked off anyway (originally going to see his mum), he decided to go for it.

I tried to convince Stuart to bring me since we both have the weekend off but nae luck... getting a Scottish person to willingly go to England for "fun" is nearly impossible. 

We will be going to Oban instead.

I’ve not voted on the poll.. so sorry! I’m planning on going but decided I feel a little more comfortable me if OH comes with me whether driving or train.. not that confident in traveling alone here yet.

However, youngin’s nan is putting on a late Halloween party for kids, and I’m hoping she will keep ours over night. Parents gone wild ;)

Too bad, I was hoping we could do shots and you and me could do this



It's a North Carolina thing.

We can still do it via video messaging.
