My reminder came this morning as well but we'll be away in some strange place where the sun shines and "roos" jump in front of your car.
Think I might cancel - can I afford a divorce:thinks:

I have been looking to get there and was hoping to stay overnight but couldn't find a bargain break anywhere.
No I didn't leave it till the last minute, this must be a popular show cos everything was taken so quickly i didn't get a look in.

Same as Yandells, no hoper for me this year.
It has been good meeting up with people at the venues I did go to and there will be more I am sure.
Have a great time all who do go init?

A lot of the hotels near the show ground are booked by exhibitors and demonstrators the year before!
It is a popular show, but I am led to believe the Midlands show is set to expand a bit next year as well.
The main reason you can't get any deals at this time is probably due to this

It's like a blue rinse army, with sharpened elbows, vying for position:funny:

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Neil. Sue doesn't know about that yet and hopefully she won't find out :pray:
I'm sure she wouldn't appreciate being referred to as part of the blue rinse army :nonono: :funny:

Tell her now! right now!
Can you not see the opportunity?
She'll have a good time and not dare tell you what she spent, and why she spent it!
You can leave her in the company of like minded people and be praised for your compassion!

In the meantime, you can go to the woodworking show and spend what you want, with no argument. Because I bet she spends more than you?:devil::funny::funny::funny:
