North wood meet 16 - 19 december 3 night christmas special

[decorum]

I have an over-due order coming in tomorrow. Depending on when it arrives and how long it takes to check and sort through I might not be able to arrive until Saturday

Well, the order arrived and has now been checked and worked through.
I'm now steadily working my way through my orders.

It is now more and more likely that I'll be arriving tomorrow - but I will be getting there


I'll be bringing some soap nuts .

... It is now more and more likely that I'll be arriving tomorrow ...

Definately not going to arrive today - snow (and, more specifically, carpy drivers/driving ) have gridlocked the local area.

Hopefully the situation will be much improved tomorrow .

 

[JonathanD]

Well, Dave and I have tried every possibility of getting there today and have been scuppered by everything.
