ANyone going from nottingham-xmas meet up???

[SleeplessInTheStaceym11House]

I want to go to the xmas meet up but am moving up to nottingham the end of sept, is anyone else travelling down so i dont have to do it on my own!!!

Good luck with test though - I'd hate to have to take it now!!

Oh, blimey DON'T even think about driving to London if you will have just passed your test - seriously! Do as Wisteria suggests and book a train - the further in advance you can, the cheaper it will be!

thanks wine! thats brill!!

wisteria, its terrifying, esp when i had a lesson today and broke the handbrake (ok i didnt brake it, but it broke while i was driving)

yeah train prob is a good idea, just dont wanna do tht on my own!!

but im learning in croydon?!?! believe me thats hard enough!

• My friend had a car once where the steering wheel came off as he was going around the M1/ M69 roundabout - now that was a scary moment....

Hijack Alert

Winestein - Hello [waves] .

So you got back OK from your travels! How was it?

That happened to a friend of mine too Wisteria - he was "lucky" and just ploughed into some traffic cones (he was approaching roadworks)

You ALWAYS do this to me Mandymac!! I was just thinking I must ring you as we do need to do a sophisticated evening soon
How you fixed?

so was he.......in the same place?

steering wheel falling off?!?! jesus i never thought there were so many dangers in your car!!!

the worst danger IME Stacey is 'MUM!!! I need to poo right now......' when you are on your own on the motorway....which I always seem to be (obviously my dcs don't do that anymore though)

Hmmm.. don't think so. Don't tell me he was called Steve though....?

nope! David that would have been toooo weird..

wisteria, not looking fwd to that one as will be doing 2 1/2 (not including the roadworks, yawn) hr drive everytime i wanna see my mum! and at least 2hrs is motorway! arrrrgggghhh never thought about things liek that!

I could make one evening next week, Thursdays are always good - only Friday to get through if too much 'refreshment' is taken. I can get into town by about 8pm if thats any good?

Go when it is their 'sleeping time' and knacker them out beforehand. I trained mine to go 5hrs eventually..... practice makes perfect!

Thursday is a great day! I will switch to email

Ha Wisteria! Quite! I know the M69 roundabout - it's enough to test anyones steering wheel nuts and bolts!

yeah when going to nans with mum we've always gone at night so they both sleep! although dont know ifthat would work coming here as i would ahve nowhere to put me and dd, ds has travel cot..but oh i dont know! its all so scary!

right am off as dh about to come home! will be nice to meet up with you ladies once i move (although not too sure about internet access in the rented place) and will probably be calling on you for more info! thanks for all the help!
