I would have loved to come but have a big work meeting on october 12th, which is also Callums birthday, and will be doing 'birthday treat' things that weekend.
I'm gutted, i would have been brave and got the train up to meet you all for the day, but we have a meal out with dh's company on the friday and a family party on the Sat, maybe next time.
I'm definitely up for this! The Mailbox is great . We've stayed there twice. The first time we stayed at the Ramada, which is £70 for the first night and £65 for the second. It's a nice clean, functional, modern chain hotel. More recently we stayed at the Malmaison. It's really funky and £109 per night is a bargain, IMHO, although I realise that it's probably on the steep side if we're looking to make it as cheap as possible for everyone.
my heart is telling me I really, really need to be with you all, whereas my head is telling me to wise up cos I need to be saving for our December holiday. OMG decisions decisions
You can provisionally put me down for this as well (sounds great looking forward to meeting everyone). I am just trying to sort out my holiday for Oct but if I am around will def be coming.
