Snoopy Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 hmmm, might be joining ya then, possibly, all hinges on working it around mrs snoopy working and my having the kids (and now a tiny little kitten too) to look after.The sunday would be better than a saturday for me, but keep us posted when you're thinking of coming up and I'll see how it's looking.PS, can you bring some nice weather up with you, I'm sick of going out in the wet! PPS, don't ever get Notts / Derbys mixed up when talking to people from Notts / Derbys Just talk to us normal Junction 25 "on-the-fence" types that have to put up with bickering from both sides of the M1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
