BOF's Big Bucket List Trip To Anglesey! *MNHQ editing title to say that there is some very sad news contained in this thread. Sending love to all*

[BitOfFun]

AIBU to ask for some help planning this?

I've been on mumsnet almost forever, and it's my go-to place for wisdom, help and advice. I don't really have a long time alive, as my cancer treatment has stopped working, so I'm hoping that some of you can help me plan a trip to Anglesey, so that I've seen somewhere that isn't these four walls during my Liverpool Lockdown!

I don't want to go much further afield, as I would feel better being easily accessible to medical care if necessary. The plan is to hire a car with my husband, who'll drive, and stay a night or two in B&Bs, taking in some coastal views and sunsets.

I'd love to trawl antique shops.
I'd like to take the dog, if possible, though this isn't really essential.
Outdoors is good, but I'll have to use a wheelchair for more than short distances.
I like the idea of "hidden gems" in terms of places to visit (who doesn't?) but comfort is good too.
I'll wait for the weather to warm up a bit, so in a few weeks is fine (I hope!).

I don't want to annoy anybody, but I'd like to use this thread for a bit of support and encouragement, and keep bumping it for more ideas and suggestions.so I can make this trip as special as possible. As Anglesey isn't all that far from where I live, I could split the trip into a few parts.

So, can you help? AIBU?

Didn't there used to be friday night pissed threads? I'd forgotten about Terry Wogan. Feeling quite old.

RIP BOF.

We used to have The Baaaaaaaaaarrrrrr

I think it's puerile.

How can anyone possibly have forgotten Terry Wogan?

Pag had a Caprihananahhhh or something.

And everyone agreed with her. Endlessly.

So sad to hear about BOF.

Remember Pag & her Caprihananahhhh & Pag boy snorkelling in some lovely warm ocean............

Not such a long timer as some but lovely to see so many old timers appear again.

Suspect BOF would like it............

yes there did, I used to love them before MN became teetotal.

Trying to think of the MNetter from Leicester I used to chat to on there

Until the end! But I was always the funny one. [/quote]
Omg! Hello!

There's still the occasional Friday Night Pissed thread I have taken enthusiastic part in.

Funnys, I think UsualSuspect was from Leicester if I remember correctly. She was a regular on the Friday Drunk Threads.

Yes, that's her! Thank you, I couldn't remember her name at all

Oh man HoneyDragon introduced me to the wonders of Terry Wogan.
It’s burned into my memory.

@HannaHat I’m a much better person now, I rarely ever inflict moleskin clad penises upon the innocent.

I think the donations to woolly hugs will be absolutely grand. Spread the love a bit, and ease others pain in a small way. That’s a bit more Bof.

In fact in a world where you can be anything be Boffish for a bit. Be a bit funny, a bit kind and just a soupçon* of naughty.

*or a lot

Amen to that HoneyDragon ❤️

Gosh, this is sad. It would be presumptuous to say I knew BoF, but was always aware of her as a regular on MN, kind and funny. The bucket list was the first time I knew of her illness.

Condolences to her family and goodbye to a good egg.

Lovely to see so many blasts from the past here - and of course BOF would have enjoyed it. She would have taken the piss in a warm, funny, gentle way and made me giggle.

One night long ago BOF and I randomly went down some weird Airplane rabbit hole and randomly, drunkenly, quoted lines from the film to each other on a thread that had nothing to do with air travel. No idea why or how but god it was funny. I'll miss her.

Omg, that bat. And Terry.

Lovely to see so many “Oldies” here sharing memories of lovely, kind BOF. ❤️

Great to see so many old Mumsnetters here
Reminds me of the old days.

Hello lovely people
