The driving gloves were a joke!

We'll be using RL names - no-one but I and my trusty spreadsheet will know who's who!

Have checked and day is mainly outside but obviously you'll be in cars (with heaters) as well! The safety bit will be inside.

AnnMumsnet · 14/10/2010 14:08

I'm sure they're impressed at how much planning were all undertaking!

DO NOT FORGET DRIVING LICENCES. BOTH PARTS.

MNHQ

JenniferMumsnet · 14/10/2010 17:43

OMG can't find my driving licence!!!!!!!!Confused

MNHQ

JenniferMumsnet · 14/10/2010 17:47

more to the point I have absolutely no idea where it is if it not where it should be which it isn't

MNHQ

JenniferMumsnet · 14/10/2010 20:59

Possibly should post in AIBU but why would DH put my driving licence inside my passport ? Only found driving licence when hunting for passport incase that would do .
Am now off to pack lunch for kids, get school uniform out, check for shoes etc etc. Cause Ann is arriving at the crack of dawn. See you all in the morning - so excited

Well on behalf of Mumsnet - thanks so much for coming - it was amazing! Lovely to meet you all. Such a brilliant day. I loved the RS and the Off Road especially. Plus the Ford guys were all so kind.

Feedback thread proper is coming Monday
Hope everyone had a good run home.

Go Yellows
That was such a brilliant brilliant day - lovely to meet everyone
I've realised two things
a. I drive way way too slow and probably have done since leaving hospital with DD

b. Actually we need three cars:
The RS for me
The S Max or Kuga for the kids
The Mondeo for DH, lovin' the parking thingy
No actually its four cause I also need the Off -roader for next time it snows

Hope to see you again soon
Jennifer Mumsnet

Lady in Red, ah yes roundabouts - I just liked the Mondeo so much I just wanted to keep driving all the way back to North London !

AnnMumsnet · 19/10/2010 11:48

BIWI - I kept looking out for you, as you've been involved in other projects (and I think I've met you before?!) and wanted to say hi - think I caught a glimpse of you getting into the taxi. But am sorry not to have spoken. It all went so quickly!
