to have just bought a squillion pounds worth of tickets for Hay festival even though I may not have childcare

[spiderslegs]

I do live there - I always miss out as I have 'tinkers'.

I'll work it out.

Surely.

Don't know why it posted twice

Put yourself on notice - you're now on a mission to arrange childcare so that you are free to use those tickets.

Have faith - you'll do it!!

What's hay festival?

Its the major literary festival. Y'know, books n shit! :o

Well if you do have problems - I might buy some of them from you!

It's a great festival!

ENJOY!
We haven't been for 2 years and are not going this year.
But I have Hay on my Twitter and am regretting not going this year, they keep taunting me with Tweets about it!

YANBU.

We go every year, but tend to end up in the children's events. It will be great when the children are a bit older and I can leave them for long enough to go to something more grown up!
