also we will we be able to do the secret santa on the sat after the meal? will there be other diners there,as i have heard a whisper who is secret santa this year,and he/she tends to use the odd swear word  .

Are we having a Christmas jumper or hat completion

Seeing I wore a chrimbo jumper last year and will be wearing it again this year to get my money's worth as Primark wouldn't let me change it for a summer jumper

Probably, but would you want the odd female present if that was the only one left

I believe we have this room to ourselves, an elf told me that santa had turned a new leaf and was very well behaved now anyway, and he also won't be flashing his "bulge" like last year

Sorry Andy, didn't see that post.
I wouldn't think there will be a problem with camping, but as the meal had to be chosen, booked and paid for that could be an issue

Get ure name down Andy, be nice to see you & jacs.
Its been well over a year!

Ok thanks Ken 
Not bothered about the meal although would be nice
I'll most likely not be finished anyway but in the event I am Jacs found out she's two days holiday left so it's not completely out of the question

Be nice to see you both :-))

Did I book EHU?

If not could I have EHU now please as I have had a new electric box thingy fitted to camper under warranty.

Just read all the posts missed since 15th November and it looks like will have to go shopping  

Getting over a nasty virus which caused dizziness, high temperature, headache and tiredness.  Slept most of three days. Still feel cold although Colin assures me its not.

Be very nice to see you both again too 
It's been over 20 months :-( 
The job timetable is out of my control but if it's possible I'll be there 
Be nice to see John and Marie too and your new van

We've been having problems with working hours this year Andy, Julie has to work 1 day at the weekend every week, so getting to meets has been difficult. 
Hopefully things will be different next year.
