RETREAT CHATTER..

Did you get in touch with scatty, i can imagine she would welcome a lift.

I am getting even more excited, if that is possible..and hey...i dont have to fly to see you all...bonus!!1

I really don't enjoy flying at all. However, it means i have to drive eeek...lesser of 2 evils. what a silly puss i am,

pm alison tina and ask her im sure she will pop on before friday . im sure she would welcome the company ,unless her hubby is planning on bringing her and going shopping locally as he did when she came to the crop

I pm'ed her last night; hopefully she'll pick it up when she's next online.

Would be thirds on the petrol which has to be a bonus.

this is a lovely idea, and I have said yes of course. It also lets them have a pit stop while I put my small bags in the car.

Pmsl sCATTY, THEY need to be small I reckon after what Jane has said she's bringing.

Oh, that's great. You'll have fun travelling together.

Billie, did I read somewhere that you were bringing glossy cardstock? I hope so, so if you see this...YES PLEASE~!!!!!

I wouldn't have been offended if you had said 'no' though Scatty; some people don't travel well in other people's cars. (Like me for instance; for a start I can't hear what people are saying and spend my entire journey bent forward straining to hear. Plus I like to be in control of the ventilation (ex-boyfriends parents from my teens used to try and cook us all in their car, made me sick!).).

Anyway, it'll break up the journey nicely. Plus if we are overladen we can throw a few bits out, like they do on hot-air balloons

Ha, ha. Dope!

You could throw Jane out!!!!
Sorry, Jane.

No, that wouldn't work, she's only short, so we wouldn't gain much space.

I posted on Lou's 'easel card' thread, but people might not see it.....if anyone has a couple of copies of Craft Stamper that they would be willing to bring to the Retreat, I would love to have a look at them please? I will make sure thay are returned in the same condition before we all leave to come home. (Can't get hold of many magazines round here ).

Yes I'm bringing Steph and glossy card stock LOL

3 days to go

Ooooooooo my tummy is nervous. I have a list a mile long and am very slowly working my way through it. The car needs a good check over as its squealing breaks again and I worry constantly when driving on the motorway at the best of times

But am I excited, you bet ya !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Great. Thanks, Billie.

Tina, I'll bring a couple for you to look at, hun. I'll go put them in my pile NOW so I don't forget.

Have dug out the big sheets of paper for covering the tables: will bring 22 so there's enough for one each plus the odd 3 for the "tutor's" table. The good news is that there looks to be enough for the next retreat.....

Lynda

Managed to hopefully wangle a few extra hours off work on Thursday afternoon (time owing) so I can do my final packing and take Malcolm out to get something for his meals as Tom won't be around, only to take me on Friday and collect me on Sunday.

Its great that you will be with us for the whole time again Cath, I'm looking forward to this.

Well my brakes are on and off squealing, but we've decided that all being well martin is going to check it out tomorrow and if it can't be sorted I am going to be taking his car. Better economy as its more miles to gallon, and its got a CD in it

Having said that it always feels slow compared to mine, and its what you are used to driving isn't it.

Now that's what I call planning ahead LOL

Well I have finally started my twincies, it is only 19 to be done, hope so cause thats all I could get out of the backround card Iv'e used.

yes billie 19. Though I got carried away and did 20. Will give spare to Lily I think

I think I will make a large pizza to bring with me instead of cake, as there is a fridge in the room so it will keep ok and be there for part of the lunch for anyone who likes. What do you all think?

I'm up for pizza.

Tina ...would you like some older stamper mags to keep? i could bring some for you. x

ooh good for you three, now all behave yourselves and please dont throw anyone or anything out..just get a roof rack lol

cold pizza is practically my favourite thing to eat in the world Alison, so yes please.

Oh I would like some if you have spare Suzy. I've only just started
subscribing and would love some older ones.

OK, I now have a pile of alcohol inks, distress inks and gubbins to go with them. I have a bottle of blending solution Karelyn, so you can use some of that if you need to.

A stash bag with 5 items, a black and white 'kit' I've made up and a tin.
A page with 20 photos of me on, yuk
I've also got a pile of 'stuff' to rak/ sell/ etc.

So, got to finish twinchies, sort out a card kit, sort out colour 'spot' stuff that isn't really a spot, bits for altering my tin, get bookbinding stuff together, mmmmm, and then in my other bag all my basic equipment and other things to do. Good job I've got all day although I do need to plan my first week back at school as well before I go so it is ready for Tuesday morning (Monday is a training day). Better get started then.......
