I like them t-shirts, i like them a lot !!
I guess its because i am used to wearing bright yellow clothing anyway !!
Got 12 batteries for the radios today and 2 x 6 way chargers. Should be getting 12 radios tomorrow so all will be charged and ready Obvioulsy we won't need all 12, so we will have a few spares.
Not long now and really looking forward to this.

Ade' & Ronnie Transport NO
12 seater mini bus (£45 return)
Cab (£9 & £13 each way)
£67 all inc. which doesn't divide by 14 very well.
So how about £5 per head x 14 = £70 which gives a £3 tip

Weather looks promising BBC - Weather Centre - 5 Day Forecast in Celsius for Yeovil, United Kingdom
TINY - What time are you going to the Lodge. Is there anybody else also meeting there. If its just going to be me, don't worry to much, don't want to put you out of your way. I guess the Hotel will have an iron
Mounted my plaque today . Now got 3 days to clean the car !!

To be honest mate it would suit me better if i could bring them with me on friday , Up to my neck in it @ the mo , Not had time to think about " Mencap " Or even start to get the car prepped
If that is ok with you i will bring both your Mencap & Pink shirts with me
Summers ~ Is this ok to apply to you as well mate ?

Yup, know the feeling well mate. Still finishing a few bits off on the car.
To bring both lots along with you on Friday is fine with us mate. Like i said i reckon the hotel will have an iron to give them the once over before we wear them with pride .

Forecast for rain on the Sunday though Pity, was looking forward to a repeat of the day at the seaside we did last time.
As long as it stays nice for the main event though!

Well I have had a busy couple of days, while you boys have been playing with your toys.
I have sent an email to the Halfway House with our food order for the evening meal @ 8.00pm on Friday night. And they (especially the young lad) are looking forward to our arrival.
I have got Barry's mounting plate all predrilled & hand countersunk
'Cos I am getting old & grey & my eyes aren't what they were I have upgraded my TomTom One to the new wide-screen TomTom One XL. The XL is pretty much the same to use as the One but has a much bigger 4.3" screen, more voices, more POIs including cameras and a thing called QuickGPSfix software which finds your location quicker.
I have wired it all up neatly round the dash so it is next to the Road Angel & when sat behind the wheel they are both within the line of sight of the bonnet scoop so don't obscure the road ahead.
And I have converted the old spare TomTom mount into a light weight camera mount for my little Ricoh Caplio R4.
Car pampering day tomorrow.

My GOD !!! I thought my car looked like the Starship Enterprise. Not much chance of us getting lost with that lot !!
Your camera mount looks good mate. I've got a light weight DV camera which i shall bring if you would like to use that.
Got the Nikon DLSR ready with the 75-300mm new lens to try out for some nice shots.
I guess we are still all meeting at Junc 30 / 31 (Thurrock Services). Once we get the kids off i would imagine we will be there around 0930 - 1000. Can someone PM me their mobile (TINY or Mark ?) in case there are any unforeseen problems.
I have 4 radios at the moment and collecting a few more tomorrow as there have been a few issues with frequencies. All 12 batteries are charged and have 2 x 6 way bank chargers to take with us .
Polished half the car today, doing the other half when i get in from work 2morrow.

Let's hope the weather holds out.....forecast I saw this morning was rubbish!
Showers ~ Friday
Heavy rain and thunderstorms ~ Saturday
Heavy rain ~ Sunday
That's not what the BBC website says, so let's hope they are right and GMTV are wrong!
