Thanks BTM that's really kind of you, let know about postage costs. The storage is out of necessity where else do you keep a roof box and ladder? For years the roof box lived behind the shed wrapped in a tarp until one of the neighbours asked me about Trevor? And I was like ???what? ? Apparently this was what they called the wrapped up box as it looked like a body in a sheet ,ie Trevor Jordache from Brookie !! Typical scouse humour but prompted me to find a better place for Trevor the roof box, the name stuck.
Have no idea how the prom went he came home at 12.45 am and got up at 10.30 am and apparently it was alright, music crap and v v loud, couldn't talk to people. He went back to a friends for an after party but people started drinking so him and a few others left. 2 teachers cried and he didn't get an award, this is the sum of information I have gotten out of him. We've been shopping for a everything on my list and think he's pretty much done now for Japan we've got a Scout send of bbq with tv crew tomorrow so I intend to ask about money for the stop over am guessing dollars will be best.
switched I agree despite ds being 6ft 3 or so he's still my baby and I'm not sure how he's gonna cope, I've just bought a cash belt and belt bag for his stuff when in Tokyo, I actually told him to keep his money with his phone, he'll never loose that.
Only left to do is get gifts for his host family something light enough to pack but obviously from here, have seen some coaster with stylised pics of iconic buildings so Pier Head, the wigwam, Albert Dock our beach, think they'll do.
And after all the Japan stuff I go away day after him and have sorted nothing!!
