  1. Are the couple in question local? If so, bang goes your worry about alienating them. There's nowhere else for them to go. Even if they don't like being asked to hurry up and have a few days off I daresay they'll be back before long because it's just too convenient being closeby. Use it to your advantage and tell them to bugger off home because you're tired!
  2. to that last paragraph! ...and if you lose at badminton just take take it. Nothing quite so daft as a sore loser!
  3. Long wait now before our next trip. I hate having to come back south of the border.
  4. That'd be a bloody long way to send an ambulance! There's an ambulance station less than two minutes' drive from my house. I reckon that's where the last two for me and the one for my daughter came from and I reckon it's where any more would come from to my house too. When I think about it, that sounds really bad! One ambulance for me was after my daughter was born at home and the second was while Scott was doing his best not to be born at home despite my wishes! So there's only really been one accident and that didn't even require an ambulance - I just made the mistake of checking my knowledge with NHS Direct who said "she's a small child with burns to her feet, I'll have to send an ambulance... No, you can't refuse it, if she doesn't need it then they'll say so when they get there, but I'll put you through to the ambulance service now". Honestly - such an overreaction to a non-event. I'd only wanted to check how long the redness should take to clear up before concern should kick in - my daughter was happily playing in a bath of luke-warm water by then to keep her feet cool, with no pain and no real injury! Then they phoned back to tell me they'd also be alerting Social Services. Several hours later the guy's supervisor phoned me to say that was utter nonsense and apologising for what had been said to me. It was madness!
  5. We were talking about this today. Mr HGG's arriving tomorrow - I'm picking him up from Preston in the afternoon. We're out with some friends on Friday morning over here and then meeting my mum back at mine around 1pm as she's having Scott for the afternoon. We'll be leaving here around 2.30pm I reckon to get there for 3.30pm. That should give us plenty of time. I guess we'll see you there. Looking forward to it. Although I believe there's to be dancing later - shockeroonie! Make me do any of that Scottish dancing lark (as I've been told I will be doing if that's the plan) and I'll be making a real arse of myself. I'm English for goodness' sake! Prepare for a good laugh. Steady on. We'll be sending an ambulance in a bit. You're not embracing change?!? I'm sorry, but I had to ! Tonight there's nothing getting on my nerves and I'm not feeling at all petty. There's a first time for everything, eh?
  6. Because they want to annoy you first thing in the morning, leave you cold as well as late for work/uni/appointments and theit staff desperately need the practice at people management which they'll get from a heated old row with a mob of rather unhappy travellers with no train and decidedly dodgy (if not non-existent) customer service.
  7. I have no idea what I've actually done but I've woken up this morning with a pain in one side of my neck. It's not too bad when I sit still but the second I move it really hurts . I'm hoping it'll just ease up this morning and go away very soon. It hurts!!!
  8. Everything you'll ever need to know is contained in this thread. There's also the Baby Milk Action site which details the boycott more. And in another thread which got hijacked by the Nestle debate at a similar time to the first link above, Matt linked us to the Wiki entry on the Nestle boycott. To answer your question, yes they make some tasty products. However, I've found substitutes elsewhere for most things I used to enjoy. I miss Jelly Tots and Toffee Crisp at the moment, but there are so many other products out there that it doesn't bother me. It's just become an integral part of the way I live. I avoid Nestle. Here I am! Mr HGG would agree with you there! I'm not so keen myself. When do you head south?
