Im soo sooooooo excited and hyper and can think of NOTHING else.

airbeds been tested, tent has been aired - ARGH I just wanna go shopping and then not sleep all thursday night like a kid at xmas and then its time!!!! we're up super early and dropping the kids with their dad before 8am :D:D

[chilisara]

ooh have you a link to the tv ad???

[Luce]

yeah i updated the thread

[thirst]

Ha ha well its not just me then! I too keep on spending too much money, bought two new outfits earlier and didnt really need them. When you think about the money spent on tickets, equipment, clothes and spending money its some serious dollar! Two more days in work then the fun begins. Tried to pack last night and already concerned about the amount i'll have to carry from the car park...and havent even had my drink delivery yet from Tesco! Oh well....it'll be worth it!

[v-plates]

without even a hint of irony (ok maybe a little) ... ROLL ON THE SATURDAYS.

hope to see you all around the place!

V-P's x

yep I went and bought new clothes yesterday including some far too short shorts - for my 29 + 11 mths + 2 weeks oldness.... just wore them to the park with the kids and have now decided that leggings are the way to go with such things!!

[thirst]

Ahh sod it.....believe me the states that some people are in, no one will bat an eye lid at short shorts!

From whereabouts in West London?

[thirst]

Hanger Lane- its ok just done a route planner.....1 hr 20 according to AA. Dont need to get A12 as can avoid going through central london. Gonna get North Circukar and hook up with M25 :-) Sorted. Just hope traffic isnt too bad. , although realistically what do you reckon?

I would guess 2.5/3 hours for you to get parked. I live in Clapham and although routeplanner says 1 hour and 20 mins I think it will take me 2.5/3 hours. The traffic will be bad but the queue into the car park will be huge!

[thirst]

Oh well - just gotta be prepared for it! With a can of Strongbow....(i wont be driving!)

North Circular > A41 > A1 > M25 > M11 > A414 is the route we always used.

I don't really know that area.

Maybe head over Tower Bridge and then out on the A13 and up the North Circular?
