:cheer: I have a big grin thinking about tomorrow. We have been checking everything over and over. Just to pack a couple of things.

We have 2 train changes to get to Manchester, that is my only worry :rolleyes:

Will enjoy a return visit to Scotland.

Don't know about the early night.....too excited.

That is so funny as I keep on checking the car to make sure that your chair is still in the boot. It's not exactly going to jump out and come in the house - I blame it on the excitement as I have 10 minutes from arriving home from work and needing to leave for the train (leaving the car at the station) so no time for faffing around.

Have a lovely journey and I'll text you to see how you're getting on with it tomorrow when I'm on my lunch. :D

10 O'clock is bedtime for us all as we have a very busy weekend ahead o/

Can I also wish all of you a very happy get together in Manchester. I know that a lot of thought and care has gone into all the preparations and I'm sure it will be a great time for all. Sorry I can't join you but looking forward to hearing all about it.

Looking forward to our meetup on both days :)

Just some pointers. If you suffer from even mild asthma or worse, dont forget your Ventolin spray. There is a surge of 999 emergency calls in England due to breathing difficulties caused by the current air pollution attack. I suffer from Asthma but attacks were very seldom but I had one today and no doubt its because of the air pollution attack, so I will be packing a couple of sprays as backup.

Also. During the evening, it will get cold especially if we are standing around during the last hour of your evening Glossop trip, so wrap up warm! Dont underestimate the drop in temperature when the sun goes down :)

OK those precautions out of the way, lets have fun. I am just looking forward to chill with everyone, anything else would just be a bonus :)
My film reviews here . ......My FMUK 2014 ratings.......My FMUK 2011 ratings.......My FMUK 2013 ratings . ......My FMUK 2012 ratings .


Do you have a VR headset? If so, maybe we can play a physical sports game or even be sports/fitness partners, hit me up if you keen.
